[Q] Wanting to change the google search widget background to black. Where's the apk?

Title's pretty on it. I had gotten a black google search from somewhere, but I don't remember where, and now that I'm 2.2, I figured I'd jsut edit it myself.
Can someone tell me the apk that I need to look in to edit the background PNG? Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried:
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
or
QuickLookup.apk

Tried Googlequicksearch. Will try the other in a second. Right now I'm tricking out the radio lol.

Nope, not quick search either

Just use the search softly and use the screen space for something else. Hint - tap to open search window. Long press to use voice search. No need to be redundant.

Its in the GoogleQuickSearch.apk
Look at the search_floater.9.png that is the background... it just expands across (I changed mine to glass)

Bugless Beast 0.4 had the translucent black search box, and I thought the mod was part of his launcher2.apk. The previous post seems to prove me wrong.
It also had a translucent version of the power switch, which i think is in settings.apk, but it might be part of the framework.
I'd love to see something like that, it was really slick.
Let me know if you throw something together.
Edit: attached the BB 0.4 Launcher2.apk.
Edit2: Riptide, thats badass.

I think that's the ticket. And naw, I don't want it to look like manups. I don't even want it transparent. Thanks for the heads up rip! You the man!

Ok, here it goes: I wanted it to flow with my top taskbar, and got the result I was looking for:

Came out nice. Great job!

You don't install system apps, you adb push them.

Got it, but I currently have the latest Google search installed, so theoretically this should overwrite the exiting file right?
The problem is I don't see the existing Google search in the /system/app folder. I pushed the above Google search, but no change. I can't tell if it even overwrote the previous. I also dont know which existing APK file I need to remove to uninstall the existing Google search).
Not sure if all that made sense.

is it possible to install this without root?

ANSWER located below in post #6 by Gitu Sum...Thanks again!!

I think you want dialeractivitytab not the phone.apk. You want to theme it right?

If you want to theme the dialer, you want dialeractivitytab.apk. Phone.apk is misleading...

Tw framework is a dependancy. Had this problem while optimizing and modding my rom.

I can theme DialerTabActivity.apk. That works fine. Its the Phone.apk that i wanted to theme. Well at least i think so... Im looking to theme the "In Call" buttons and in call dialer. Not the regular dialer. This way when im in call the Bluetooth, Speaker Phone, End Call, and such are themed. rather than the standard background and grey buttons like such..
Heres a pic of what i mean... This one is the themed one from Clean GB but still FC's on my
@marcusant... ya thats what i was reading somewhere but did know if there was a workaround. I noticed in Revival v.2 (what im running now) its not themed so i assumed maybe its too confusing.

Take the stock tw-framework.apk and put it on your desktop. When you go to decompile the phone.apk use 10. It will ask you what file. Just drag and drop tw-framework.apk into the window.

Thanks Gitu sum!! I just tried it and it worked perfect. i was able to edit some xml and compile it without any errors..... my only issue now is that when i install it to system/app it seems to work but when i call someone and then hangup..It locks up right as i hit the END button and FC. Then it resets my radio. Any advice as to why it isnt functioning correctly?

[Q] Has anyone looked into theming the lock ring

Has anybody looked into theming the lock/unlock ring on the lock screen like maybe changing the color or shape of it?

I believe plenty of people have done it already. Its a simple framework image that needs changing. 100% possible.

It s only one image like that, so you won't miss it

Just a quick 2 minute thing, but an example of what can be done.

Most of the images are located at res/drawable-xhdpi

I'm having a similar issue. Tries replacing images in both "drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi" and "drawable-xhdpi". I have replaced both "ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png" and "ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png", but it just seems to cause endless bootloops of death. EBoD!
Please assist, as I would very much like to have a modified lockscreen.
Thank you in advance.

Keeping them the same size? they are quite large like 216X216(I think from memory)
A sample:
DarkHorse Revolution - NeXus Edition
How are you tryign to do it?
You dont need to the the ones in sw600dp-xhdpi folder, just darwable-xhdpi folder.

You could just get WidgetLocker, which in addition to allowing widgets on the lockscreen, also allows you to have alternate wallpapers, and modify the lock pictures and method (i.e. unlock like HTC Sense, Sense3, iPhone, as well as ICS).

You can see the extra folder on the bottom right
I remember on the evo 3d you could go to settings and make sure they didn't appear I don't see that on here ... and I get tired of erasing them. Also I don't want an app for gallery stock one is fine for me

I'm assuming you mean bottom left, not bottom right?
What are the images of? And they're not deletable from the Gallery app itself?
If you connect to a PC and dive into the folders, can you find where they are and delete them?

I use QuickPic instead of the Gallery, its much better and faster imo. QP has the option to hide folders you dont want showing up. If you are willing to try QP instead of Gallery that will solve your problem, but I dont know how to hide folders in the Gallery app.

In the root of the directory where the images are make a file called ".nomedia", clear the data on the gallery app and images will not come back.

Repost of xperiacle's topic from international. N3
Hello Friends,
Just thought I will share a very simple app I made to enable or add additional apps for Samsung's Galaxy Note series with PEN WINDOW feature like the Galaxy Note 3. For those who are willing to try, please do and would appreciate feedback. I have not tested it on a Note 3 device yet because I don't have a Note 3 so I am requesting for testers.
First, make sure you are rooted with busybox installed.
Second, make a backup.
Third, just download below and install as nornal.
Finally, just tick the apps you want and don't forget to press the save button. A soft reboot maybe required for the changes to take effect.
NOTE: If you have previously edited others.xml or features.xml, you may have introduced some errors to the xml file layout which would prevent this app from properly functioning. Editing the said xml files manually is not advisable due to human error of breaking the xml structure by accident. If this app does not work after previously manually editing the said xml files, then I suggest you restore the original unedited xml files.
For those who don't seem to have a /system/csc folder and either others.xml or features.xml files in said folder, then you may want to try a custom rom that includes it but if you want to try, you can create the csc folder and procure a copy of others.xml or features.xml and put it inside the csc folder.
Have FUN!

Thanks deeznutz1977. I happen to post something about this in Q&A earlier. Maybe Moderator might wnat to combine in this thread as it is better in Apps section. Regardeless, this is a great feature and I'm amazed at how fast development is moving along. I hope that making floating windows is not restricted to Pen Manager. On my GN2 I can open floating window from any short cut I set up (from screen or side bar launcher). This is nicer. BTW, to make your floating window experience complete, do a long press on the microphone key on the samsung keyboard. You are given an option to make a floating keyboard, like on the galaxy note 8 tablet! I had happened to notice this when I was checking it out at the T-Mobile store. Dang! I'm getting mine tomorrow!

Working great for me. Thanks!

I'm trying to take off some of the default apps and I don't seem to be able to do it. anyone else have this problem?

Did you restart your phone after?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 2

yes. All of the apps (save one) that I picked were there as well as the defaults.
dunno if it makes any difference, but when i initially loaded the app, it was blank on the side where the selected apps would be. none of the default apps were available to be chosen to be listed either.

floating windows without pen app
Hi. It looks like you can make floating apps without pen using Xposed and Multiwindow manager. Needs further testing but check out my post here
