Theme Help, Looking for PNG Location - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have been trying to find this image and cannot. In the screen shot I am trying to take the progress bar you see in green and go blue with it. I have looked through both frameworks and systemui and anything else I can think of. I can find several twprogressbar PNG's but they are already blue from the theme Im using. Does anyone know where that image is at. Thanks in advance.

try secdownloadprovider.apk

Just checked. No green pngs in it either. Thanks.
Checked both. The actual provider doesn't even have a Res folder. Kinda odd.

Its an xml not a PNG. I don't have a PC right now so I can't look and tell u the exact one but dazed knows. I would send him a pm. Sorry I couldn't be more help but it changed in ICS and without being able to look I can't remember which it is.

Hey that is awesome. Thank you. I throught I was going insane. Its the only green really left and I wanted to try and change it. I'm not the greatest with XML but I can give it a shot. Thanks again. I'll shoot him a PM after while.

Its really easy to change. If u want u can download my theme or Dazed‘s blue theme or an ICS theme and when u know the exact one u can swap them out or you can open them up and look at it so u get an idea. U need to use something like notepad++ to edit the XML and if your going to make the change yourself your going to need to decompile the apk because just extracting it with 7zip or something won't allow u to edit the XML. U won't be able to read it.

Thanks. Once I know which one it is I may do that. The hardest time I'm having right now is decompiling and recompiling ICS frameworks without issues. I am using APk multi tool and for the life of me I cannot get it to see the project. I try to decompile with dependencies and it says select a project so I do. But it never selects. I'll keep playing with it. But if burst knows which one it is that would be awesome. I see he's now in the thread.

Have u tried using the tool agat posted in development?

You know I downloaded it but didn't really give it a shot. Maybe that should be were I move to instead of keep beating my head against the table with the Multi tool. I'll give it a shot.

Apk manager is the best. I'm tired so too lazy to read previous posts, but the progress bar XML is progress_horizontal.XML under framework-res.apk > Res > Layout.

I just decompiled that and couldnt seem to see that file in the layout folder. maybe im looking in the wrong place?
Edit, there is one in the drawable folder?

Well I changed out the Progress_horizontal.xml and the TWprogress_horizontal.xml from the drawable folder. I used the framework from Tiffs ICS with a twist of Honey theme v1.0. That damn bar is still green. Verified all the PNGs were right. And made sure that I did indeed get thee right xmls switched over. Not sure what else to try. I looked in the layout folder and there wasn't a file named that in there. and ideas?

My bad, it is drawable. For ICS, it might be a part of SystemUI. (They also placed the battery mods in there.) Try those sub folders and search for "progress". I haven't done any ICS theming as of yet, but I think that should do it.

I think I may have got it, I just decompiled and changed the color code in the progress_horizontal.xml and recompiled. I looked through systemui and didn't see any files with that name. I'm flashing now so we will see shortley. Thanks for all your help. I will post back in just a few with the results.
Nope. OK, time to browse systemui a little better.
Found another one in tw.framework
OK, so I think I know what my issue is, problem in my process. thanks again. post back when i figure something out. if anyone has anymore input its all welcome.
OK, Im at a loss. I have changed it in both frameworks. still that bar is green, i dont get it.

Not sure lol. It should show up if you have the apk in the right folder. I think u gotta place it in the 'pleace apk here for modding' folder. Option to select should be 25.

[BOUNTY] black text in notifcation bar.

Hello All
I've helped a few people on here and am now in need of help myself.
I am slowly getting my phone to look like Froyo AOSP.
Vibrant guys have this mastered but over here its not a big deal.
The part I'm suck on is getting Black text in notification bar.
If anyone knows how to do this I can upload my framework and service.jar.

Dont have time on me but give this a shot :
get apk manager
Take framework-res.apk
Decompile it
Look inside res/layout/
All the status_bar files will give you what you want (start with status_bar.xml)
Modify its color value, its in hex.
Select recompile
Say yes to system, say yes to keep
Only delete resources.arsc
Then push unsigned framework res to phone.

Ok got it working here pretty easily.
Those instructions work fine. Only thing different is you have to look for
const/4 v7, -0x1
in StatusBarIcon.smali
and replace with
const/high16 v7, -0x100
All previous instructions follow.
If you get latest apk manager (still in testing), link
It does jar's as well. So here are exact steps i did. If ur unable to do them then i will do them for you but id like u 2 learn
Download that.
Extract it. Run Script.bat
It'll say an update is found let it do its thing.
Put services.jar in modding folder
select it
decompile it
Do the modification i said in previous post
Choose the heap option in the script and set it to 512
Recompile
Then just push .jar to appropriate folder.
Done.
Could I be cheeky and ask you to edit the ones I posted just so I have them encase I can't.
Will try tho as like to do things myself thus having my own deodexed rom and all my lil extras.

How to switch battery icons from one theme to another?

How do I pull the battery icon out of one theme and then place it in a different one? Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Copy and Paste
Open both zip files (do not extract), go to system>framework - open framework-res, go into res>drawable-hdpi - select the battery icons you want and copy them into your other zip in the exact same spot. They will overwrite the ones that are there. Save the zips and you should be good to go.
If the xml files of the battery you want to use are different then the ones in the theme you are using, it will not display properly, but if they are the same, you should be ok.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Is it possible to pull everything out of the theme other than the battery, and then flash just to battery on top of the current theme i'm using?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
In short, no... because you are replacing framework-res, it will replace all the images. The bestway to get the battery is to find one you like and copy and paste it to the theme zip.
If you were to remove all the other images and flash it, I imagine there would be a whole hot of problems.

Tell me which icon set you want into what theme you are using. It's not hard if you know what you are doing. I can do it for you once I have both sets of files. Will take about 10 mins if both framework's are the same. More problems if the charge icons 9,10 or 20 vs the 100 I use in my theme.
Holy crap, I actually did it, and it works... At least I think it does, I'll have to wait and see if I missed any...
Thanks for the help, and the offer to do the work for me!

"res" is the name of the directory inside of the apk. Open .xml files with something like Notepad++ and open .png files with Photoshop or GIMP. Of course you can just view them with the Windows Photo Viewer but that doesn't allow you to edit them very much at all.

Actually there is what about 204 battery pngs to move on most 1% battery mods.
Take about a whole minute to highlight em all, and drag and drop them from one ROM zip to another ROM zip.
Make sure you grab all 204 or you will end up with a screwy looking charging animation or something else in the battery mod at some point

Yes they are all in the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder.
They will be named...
stat_sys_battery_xx.png (these are the non charging images)
stat_sys_battery_charge_animxx.png (these are the charging images)
Really wont matter if you grab the unknown battery image... Just make sure you have all the normal and charging images and you should be fine.

[REQ] EL26 stock with some exceptions

I was going to ask this for EL13 but being that a new leak is out, might as well ask on that, lol...
I like to run stock but 2 things I'm addicted to are the battery % mod and the transparent drop-down drawer.
if I'm the only one, I wouldn't expect a themer to go nuts... but I know a lot of people like to run stock so if this can happen, I'd be eternally thankful

here's the problem with that
I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol
PNG files are image files. Like a .jpg they end with .png
An apk (.apk) is the application package. Every application on your phone is an apk file. You can open them with 7zip - don't unzip it though unless you feel like signing it and other crap. Also, make sure you zipalign and optimize the PNG files (Google that).

The default system is not setup for % icons so you have to add a bunch of images and set the xml file to use them. It was more going through the xml. If this is all he wants changed then why would he learn xml?

Themes. Where to get the templates from?

so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Well i made a dev host account so I'm good. Its almost "comlplete" but I'm having some problems finding certain things. Where would i find the signal bars? They stay green but my them is blue. I cant find where they are or whats wrong with them. (I flashed it over clean gb thats why they're green)
zz_stat_sys_signal_#_sprint this is what they are named substitute the number for the actual signal amount =]

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.

I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now
But I'm having one other problem
I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?

so i wanna just make sure from one tiny thing. I want to make a theme for the cm7 beta 1 so i deleted everything except for systemui and the framework is that what i need to do? is there any other files i shouldnt have deleted?

Need a developers help

I am looking fire a developer who can help me port over a simple mod. I tried in my own but do not know enough. I do but want them to just do it I want them to explain what to do so next time I can do it myself.
I originally thought I just needed to change the Mount points but that did but fix it. After installing the mod the phone hangs at the boot splash animation fir the Rom.
Please can someone help me learn

What phone is it for? If it involves a resource file from another phone it prob needs to be modified for our device's framework-res. Will also DL and take a look later
Edit: there is a resource file in there, that would be device and android version specific. And since its not a whole Apk it'd be hard to decompile and port. What's it from?

Pretty sure it's from the sgsIII thats where I saw it as part of morphology so it shouldn't be extremely difficult to port or remake if need be. As a matter of fact mackentosh may add it in if he updates his morphology port since it's included in the newset sgsIII version. Really all it does is flash new font colors to the /system and launchers you can choose one or the other or both heres the original thread over on sprint sgsIII themes and apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091572

It "flashes new font colors to the /system" by replacing the compiled resources.arsc from the framework-res.apk from the sg3 Which is why he's getting a bootloop. And unless we have his framework-res.apk its not all that easy to decompile the resources to change. So unless you know something I don't this is built for the wrong phone and can't just be "ported" by replacing a few files here and there.
You could chuck this resource file into the stock framework-res that he's using and decompile, that sometimes works. Then copy the appropriate lines in colors.xml etc to our framework-res then compile. Then take that resources file and put it in a morph zip and it should work. But there's tons of xml's in there that are dif on our note

Its universal for TW roms on the sgsIII so it would probably be easier to just redo the mod based off of the note 2 files instead of trying to actually port it over. I haven't had a chance to open it up and see what we'd need to mod for a note 2 version. But seeing as how the sgsIII version works with any TW rom it shouldn't be too hard to make something similar for the note. The flashing part was just what they said in the sgsIII thread, I just haven't had the time to look and see what exactly it does.
Edit: I was actually thinking it was xml and smali edits to change the system font colors. I'm not all that great with smali/backsmali but I can manage as long ad I have my cheatsheet handy

Hmm I didn't think it would be that big a deal. I flash lots of sg3 stuff and they run fine. This is from morph like people have said and I run the morph itself directly as was written for the sg3. I am told something needs to be modified but it works fine for me the way it is and none will tell me what the original morph needs changed. I was thinking since this is pay off the morph it would be simpler than De compiling. I used to be a programmer and it kills me to have to wait around for someone to do something I could easily learn to do with a little guidance. . I will just keep trying. .
What resource is it using that would need to be changed?
Thanks for the input even if it didn't help

It's not that it's a big deal, its just that without the entire apk it makes it a little more difficult getting the values from his work and transferring them to ours. Most likely one could just download the rom he was working with (was it like LJ7 or something?), pull out the framework-res.apk, put the resource file from the morph into the framework-res.apk, then decompile it.
The rub is that we are not just dealing with single xml's in the morph. Alot of the time morphs with single xmls will work between phones, as the description for a battery mod or whatever is generally the same in Android. The problem is there is a resource file, which is several xml's bundled together from the values folder of a decompiled framework-res. In there there's several things that are device specific, the dimensions of things, the styles.xml, the public.xml etc. That is what is most likely causing the problem. All you want from the resource file is the info and values from the colors.xml, it's just by itself and needs to be reunited with its apk to be decompiled and transferred. like a tiny example, your transferring a resource file with a colors.xml bundled that doesn't have entries for the SPen, doesnt have a public xml that has all the info and id's of the SNote images in framework etc.
Yes I understand that if a resource file is used it is but a simple move . What does would I look for to know it had a resource file?

Not sure what your saying here, but I saw it had a resource file included by opening up the zip and looking inside.
In general I'll just say, it seems like your making it sound very easy to simply change all the text colors of a phone. Its not. The xml and such are scattered all over and different for each phone. So essentially your asking someone to either do it, or teach you how to theme as it would take hours and hours to explain the whole process of compiling, searching and changing all the appropriate spots.

I was asking what kind of file is a resource file. . .xml ? When I open up a zip what would I look for to know it is not going to be compatable
I did not think it would be a big deal. I know now it is.

Resource.arsc is the file. Needs to be decompiled to change. Its not a big deal, you just can't swap files between phones all willy nilly.
Doesn't seem like there's much more I can do to help. You've had a few people chime in with good info and try to help and you haven't even thanked anyone for the effort, so...I'm out

Unfortunately all the suggestions went over my head. Not yet knowledgeable enough to understand. As i said I am trying to learn. Thanks for trying. I guess I need to figure out how to decompile a rom. Got everything installed to do it but cannot figure it out. Looking for some hand holding but cannot find any.
Thanks anyway
And for the record only you and evil have posted and neither of you seen willing to God my hand and guide me through this. Not a big deal as I have been looking for someone for awhile and still am on my own trying to figure this out. I THOUGHT this was an easy task to break my teeth on but know now it is not. Sorry to have wasted your time. I will keep plugging.
