Can anybody make black contact & phone.apk attached here. Or else let me know the step by step procedure to make the Black themed Contacs.apk & Phone.apk
I Know we need to edit some XML files like styles.xml , call_background.xml, background_dial_holo_dark.xml and also have tried but able to get the success. So please help me.
Its not that easy...
apktool-1.4.3 wont decompile Contacts.apk properly so when you recompile, it will most likely crash the Phone.apk
I am able to decompile and recompile it without any problems.
You have to just decompile with 1.4.2 apktool and compile it with 1.4.3 apktool.
Before decompiling you have to delete classes.dex from contacts.apk.
If it was not possible then how other themers are modifying contacts.apk. So themers please help me.
I would do it for you, how exactly do you want it to look?

Exactly my point... Contacts.apk has been a pain the bum since ICS got here... (with APKTOOL-1.4.3 anyway)
hence why no-one has really changed XML too much...
I think managed to get it to work though...

I thinks for this we need to install framework-res then decompile contacts.apk with 1.4.2 and recompile with 1.4.3

You're missing my point, the 2 apk's talk to each other... you change Contacts and it crashes Phone.

But their should be some way to change it because Vertumus and other themers have done that

I think you'll find they're only changing PNGs in Contacts.apk... could be wrong but I am thinking that is the case...
Will see if any "themers" offer you some advice in this thread then...

Didn't think so...
either he doesn't change XML or he steals someone else work or he's just plain selfish.
not in the spirit of xda anyway.
That's the problem with this place, ego's get in the way of development.

I had errors with the Contacts.apk when making any XML edits, I ended up having to grab it from the source.
This Mod is for ICS ROMs
Hello

Search for
Code:
<bool name="config_useCaptureView">false</bool>
Change it to
Code:

Think your missing the signature of the apk, best to copy the classes.dex, reaources.arsc and the res folder over from the compiled apk to the original SystemUI.apk that you have

Do it again but before starting you need to install framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk Plz write your future issues to the kitchen thread so that others will benefit from the answers.

Hi all!
Let's start.
1. Decompile Contacts.apk and Phone.apk
2. With Phone.apk: Relace existing call_card_person_info.xml in \res\layout-mdpi-finger with the new one
Click for download call_card_person_info.txt
3. With Contacts.apk: Go to res\value-mdpi and Change value in dimens.xml from 96.0px to 320.0px
4. Compile both apks and test
Manual is correcting by me.
Dude U Have To Make This Clearer! Its Hard To Understand What U Mean ... !
Either Way Its A Great Mod, And A Needed One +1

I just deleted the lines for the clock in that xml. I obviously didn't test it, so make sure you know how to recover if it doesn't work. The .zip that is attached is NOT flashable. I also put a working 4.2.x apktool in there with instructions for you to do it yourself if you want to in the future. It's pretty easy to do if you have a working apktool (I compiled this one from paulobrein's github since he edited the source to be compatible with 4.2).
Thank you dude i really appreciate..
This is, what i call help. Thanks and thanks again.
Cheers :good:
edit: i also tried yesterday with apk tool and succeed to decompile and recompile, sign the apk.
the strange thing is that the file goes from 1.5 mb to 1.12mb just by deleting one line
Indeed, it doesnt work. I dont know what's the problem

The size change might just because the zip is compressed more or less. It doesn't always mean anything is wrong. You can decompile it again and compare the contents with the original to make sure everything is there. Do you know how that mod is usually made? Is deleting the lines the correct way?

Just rename to SystemUI.apk and push to system/app and reboot

Actually you no need to decompile it, just change the .apk to .zip.
The only thing to do is push the OP files into the ".zip".
After that rename .zip to .apk, and push to system.
You're done.
Hit thanks if I helped!
Note: The Z3 framework-res.apk don't have "value" this file. I tried to force push and it give me bootloop.
Note 2: Trying to use another method: compile the .apk by replace the zip.
sorry to bother you again @Pandemic I've just noticed all animations are very smoooth,but i found a small bug with the three-dot-menu animation...this animation is slow. I attached a screenshot so you will know which animation im talking about

2.Recompile and push to phone
