Develop Bugs

[THEME] Stevekixs Theme

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.

Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.

Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.

Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.

I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

Sorry I found the answer, didn't know about changing the view in the app drawer to customizable grid. I pushed the mms.apk through root explorer, rebooted and it worked but it removed the messaging dock icon and I'm only left with 3 dock icons. Any idea how to get it back? TIA

Black Themed Contact Apk?

Can anyone post a black themed contacts apk?
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App

+1...............

Just extract the contacts.apk from Nitroz or Sonnys theme and replace yours with it...

To save you doing that, here it is

Nitroz,
I copied the apk and overwrote the existing and its not working. I have an android icon that i think is the contacts app but when i click it it says its not installed. any suggestions or can you tell me where i messed up? thanks!

When I downloaded that file here, it shows up as a green Android picture. It should show the blue icon for Contacts/People ?
I used root explorer and go back to launcher and its empty. Can't find the people icon in app drawer anymore.

Yep, did all of that. Used root explorer, move .apk to system/app and replace and set the permission stuff, etc...did not work.
But I have done that same thing a million times for other files with zero issues, like Mms...

Worked for me but couldn't get the andy metamorph to work with contacts so I went back

Its a shame someone cannot refine any of the inverted contact apps. They look good until you want to edit or create a new contact. The headers are white on white font and entry fields have black on black cursors.
and if you hit the photo or place holder in MMS the contact info comes up bright with odd font background colors.
Inverted MMS & Contact apps are beautiful things but they still have some clean up to be done.
I hope someone with the skills is listening.

*UPDATED! SEMI-TRANSPARENT APP-DRAWER* Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus/SII Style

*UPDATE*
I have now made the app-drawer semi-transparent like in Galaxy Ace+ or Galaxy SII. I have replaced the Touchwiz30Launcher.apk in the attatchments, so just re-download and replace it in system/app and change permissions to:
R W
R
R
and re-boot.
New screenshots below
Very similar to SGA+ now!
have a look...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCkdBpocSzA
app-drawer at 00.37 seconds in the video
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone. Iv just recently registered for this forum, iv been visiting it quite a lot lately and trying many new things. Anyway to get to the point...
Iv downloaded and tried many Touchwizlauncher.apk and systemui.apk from various threads and iv modded a few things to make it look like how i wanted, and it looks remarkably close to the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus. I would just like to share the things that make my Ace look like the screens below for anyone who would like to use it.
I have made the dock transparent in the homescreen, and in the appdrawer. Also I edited the dropdown menu in systemui slightly on the bit where you slide it up and down. (see screenshots)
As i have said, iv been downloading and trying lots of different things so i cant remember which users i downloaded the original files from before i modded them, so i would like to apoligise but i would also like to thank the original makers. Credits go to original makers, i just slightly changed a few things as u can see in the screenshots. like transparent dock in the app drawer. also i edited the drop-down menu slightly.
Also, If anyone could take my Touchwiz30launcher.apk and make the appdrawer SEMI-TRANSPARENT instead of fully transparent that would be amazing!
Thankyou!
Note:
The zip is flashable through CWM
The Touchwiz30Launcher.apk and SystemUI.apk need to be replaced in system/app using root explorer and then you need to change the permissions. and reboot.
Make sure you download alternative launcher, like launcher pro, just in case things mess up. And make a backup of the touchwiz and systemui apk's before you replace them.
Enjoy!

Credits??

Ok just saying
But i think SGace + is diffrent
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium

yeah you are right. The drop-down for the sga+ is slightly different, and the app drawer is semi-transparent. also the home screen page numbers are at the bottom.
if some1 could make the app drawer semi-transparent and move the homescreen page numbers to the bottom, it would look very very close to the sga+

Semi i can do
But numbers below not
Thats a hell of a lot modding

I even tried yours to just see where edits where made maybe thinking I could make zip but nothing worked. The closest I got was with apk manager. Im dumb though and just literally installed notepad++ now. Wish I had yesterday. My desktop looks like my kids room. Lol

What tint are you talking about? I don't notice it.

There is a tint of your notifications that come in the top left of the screen. I believe it takes away a lot of the good looks of touchwiz roms. When the tint is removed I believe it looks so much better

The correct way to do it is decompile the SystemUI.apk, then in the values folder open the dimens.xml.
Edit line 25 and 26 and change the % to 100.0% on both lines and recompile.

Hey bp. Thanks for the response. Any possible way you can make a zipp that can be flashed on touchwiz roms to eliminate the tint? It would be much appreciated!
