[HOWTO] Transparent dialer, custom background for AOSP-lockscreen

I posted some screenshots a long time ago that show a transparent dialer and a custom background for the AOSP-lockscreen.
I’m tired of answering pm’s so for people who are familiar with apktool and xml-editing, here’s what to do.
Custom background for AOSP-lockscreen
Decompile framework-res.apk and open
keyguard_screen_tab_unlock
in res/layout.
In line 2 change
Code:
android:background="#70000000"
to
Code:
android:background="@drawable/default_wallpaper"
In line 15 you can change the position if the sliders if you want. Change
Code:
android:layout_marginBottom="80.0dip"
to
Code:
android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip"
and you’ll find the sliders at the very bottom of the lockscreen.
Save and close.
Open res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) and delete default_wallpaper.jpg.
Go and find a wallpaper (480 x 800), rename to default_wallpaper.png and copy to res/drawable-hdpi(-v4).
Now recompile framework-res.apk and you’re done.
Be careful with using apktool, you’ll get problems with the latest version so I recommend to use apktool 1.3.1.
Transparent dialer
Decompile DialerTabActivity.apk and open
colors.xml
in res/values.
In line 36 change
Code:
<color name="tw_color002">#ff000000</color>
to
Code:
<color name="tw_color002">#00000000</color>
Save and close.
Open
styles.xml
in res/values.
Change line 3-6
Code:
<style name="DialtactsTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>
to
Code:
<style name="DialtactsTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/call_default_btn_normal</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
Save and close.
Open
dialer_searchdialog_contents.xml
in res/layout.
In lines 7, 9, 12 and 14 change
Code:
android:textColor="@color/tw_color002"
to
Code:
android:textColor="@color/black"
Save and close.
Recompile DialerTabActivty.apk.
These files in res/drawable-hdpi have to be transparent:
call_dial_btn_normal.png
call_dial_btn_normal_h.png
call_dial_edit_btn_normal.png
call_dial_panel_bg.png
call_dial_panel_bg_01.png
call_dial_panel_bg_01_h.png
call_dial_panel_bg_02_h.png
You can now change your background in the dialer by editing/changing
call_default_btn_normal.9.png.
You might want to change the buttons (numbers, video-call,...) as well...
Edit:
found my screenshots...

You need aapt.exe
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Requirements:
JRE 1.6 (Java Runtime Environment)
aapt command in a PATH
basic knowledge of what is SDK, aapt, PATH, smali and Google search engine may be useful

Thanks man, guess i should follow the instructions

Followed the guide and was able to get a transparent background but only for the top portion. I edited the call_default_btn_normal.9.png to just be transparent. I started to mess with some of the png's and you can see that I made the dialer buttons black rather than transparent. I am guessing I need to leave the png's alone as there are transparent ones in the drawable folders and edit the correct xml's to attain a keyboard like the screen shots from the first post. Any tips on this?

Did you saved the transparency of the png files while editing? Did you correctly oatch the. 9.pngs after editing? Tis could be the problem.

I just erased the color in PS so there is nothing but the checkered background. Changed Mode to indexed 8/bit, Palette = Exact, Forced = None, Transparency is checked Options= None and saved as png.
Then I used Draw9Patch to draw a single row around the png and save9.
Should I be using an Alpha channel in PS? Sorry for my noobness

Oh, sorry.
I forgot to mention some pngs that have to be edited
call_dial_btn_normal.png
call_dial_btn_normal_h.png
call_dial_edit_btn_normal.png
call_dial_panel_bg.png
call_dial_panel_bg_01.png
call_dial_panel_bg_01_h.png
call_dial_panel_bg_02_h.png
I hope that's it...
You'll then have a transparent background.

You are the man !!!!! Nice Tutorial !

Also had to edit:
call_dial_btn03_normal.png
call_dial_btn01_normal.png
call_dial_btn01_normal_h_.png
call_dial_btn02_normal.png
call_dial_btn02_normal_h_.png
call_dial_btn04_normal_h_.png
Also I believe the dialer_tab_bg.png has to be modifed but I am too tired after night shift. Scheichuwe, thanks for posting this. I am quite enjoying messing around. It looks like you modified a lot of things in your custom dialer screen shot.

Yes, I really changed a lot and I obviously can't remember everything.
Sorry for that.
If you want to, you might have a look at this
http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-fuer-samsung-galaxy-s/54195-theme-simple-dark-jpo.html
It's a german board but you'll find the download
Take a look at the dialer and take whatever you want...

Wow! Finally I found you! I am enjoying a glass dialer, ad I really would like to edit my own one, but with some little variations to avoid lag in scrolling Logs and Favourites.
What are the images involved in the background of the tabs on top? I think I'll put them as default because the livewallpaper I use is dark, and I barely can see it through the trasparent dialerin those tabs.
Is therere a way to have different background images for each tab? I mean that I would like to have trasparento bg for Keypad, and black for Logs and Favourites.
If not, si there any possibility to create a modded image for the Logs and favourites tab when acrive so that they could be so big to have like a big black rectangle hanging underneath them so to get all over the trasparent bg, and so to give black bg underneath the Logs and Favourites scrolling???
I hope you understood.
Thank you.

The tabs are in twframework-res.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk.
Look for tw_tab in res/drawable-hdpi(-v4).
No, you can't have different backgrounds for each tab. But just have a look at logs and favorites

I don't follow you.
I have already tried and modded several dialers for me own, editing images and looking at the xml files you mention in this topic, but always using the one made from the dialer that I edited (same xml editings mentioned in you thread), but I need to have complete NON trasparent background in logs and farourites because it lags!!
With black backgrond it would not lag!
Is there a way to put a custon image or set a custom color as the background of the focused Logs and Favourites tabs?
I was thinking at something not square, but big so to go even under the listings under the tabs...
Otherwise inver the things: all black but custom image (dark trasparent grey) for Keypad so to have it trasparent.

thnx for the thread
now.,, is there anyway to change tab color to transparent ?
I ve tried modding every image ,, nothing changed !
so plz guide me

Finally found the thread what i'm looking for, nice share... thanks man.
Can some one tell me how to make Settings.apk transparent? thanks before

SystemUI.apk JVH with transparent pull down BG?

Well I had criskelo SystemUI.apk (JVB) moded to have transparent pulldown BG, now I'm on JVH, and when I use same APK it gives some error mesages when I connect USB. So I took deodexed JVH SystemUI.apk copied all .png (all but icon one) from old to new apk, but there is no transparency.
Then I searched and found out that I must mod classes.dex. with smali/baksmali.
-find smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar
-open StatusBarService.smali
-search for the line const/4 v5, 0x2
-change it to const/4 v5, -0x3
Did that replaced files and app, but still no transparency?

Search file in layout folder statusbar_tracking.xml if i'm right. There you need to edit 1 line or copy it from old apk
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

The transparency is in an xml file as the guy above pointed out.

Thanks mates, will try and report back...it works, just copied status_bar_tracking.xml fron old one, first I tried to mod it with APK manager 4.9, and no way to recompile (don't know is that dependee issue or APK manager fault).
BIG THANKS

You should post this in the Q and A section. Download one of my mods and decompile rosie.apk. Take my all_apps_view.xml in my layout folder and you can see the edits you need to make. Also values change colors and values hdpi colors.

This is the dev section not the q&a
But have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078621
It should be the same, i think.

thank you very much for your replies and forgive if this issue is not going in this section

There are different ways to the target, but here is the basic version (without custom addons of my custom Rosie).
1. Surprise - Decompile Rosie with apktool or apkmanager
2. Edit color.xml in values and values-hdpi folder
Bubble free Icon Text Background <color name="bubble_dark_background">#00191919</color> and <color name="bubble_text_shadowColor">#00000000</color>
Transparent App Drawer <color name="all_item_background">#00000000</color> and <color name="add_to_home_background">#00000000</color> (last one also in color.xml in values-hdpi folder)
2.a) 00 in the front is for Alpha Channel - that brings 100% Transparency. If you prefer semi transparent drawer, you can use 77, 88 or 99 (depends on your taste).
3. 4x5 App Drawer - edit intergers.xml in values folder
<integer name="allprogram_grid_rows">5</integer> and <integer name="allprogram_grid_columns">5</integer>
4. Smaller font in app drawer - edit application_boxed.xml
android:textSize="18.0px"
5. Compile and (if you use apkmanager) delete resources.arsc and layout folder in keep folder
In case you try it with 2.36 Rosie, you also need to edit launcher.smali
Change:
const/high16 v23, -0x100
to:
const/high16 v23, -0x6700
6. In order to change your dockbar, you need to decompile fusion.apk with m.10 editor and edit all necessary pngs there

[Guide] [Mod] How to make any gingerbread or cm7 status bar transparent​There's two ways to make the statusbar bar Transparent and I'll post them both
One way works with any gingerbread rom (deodex & rooted) and one with cyanogen 7.
I have not tried it on ics or jelly bean but you can try (for people who stumble across this thread who are not galaxy y users) ..
Please dont ask for support unless you are using a custom rom on galaxy y.:good:
Any other phones please goto your own phone forum for support.
You also need a launcher that is capable of transparency .:angel:
Adw works but you need to disable wallpaper hack in settings .
Holo launcher works.
any other launcher if it doesn't work look in it's settings & try & disable wallpaper hack or manage internally .
1-)Method one for non cm
You need apk tool installed - if you don't know how to use it see marcussmith2626's guide here --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206938
Once you have decompiled SystemUI.apk using apk tool goto res/layout Open status_bar.xml in notepad
1.Find the following line
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="#000000"[/COLOR] android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
Notice android:background is normally a hexadecimal value or it could be an @drawable value
either way change it to the following
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="Red"]android:background=" [user=3944923]@drawab[/user]le/nameofpng" [/COLOR]android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
Notice that android:background is now a @drawable value
2.Detete the space between the " and the @
(the is because the forum has changed the @ to mentions and I cant work out how to stop it doing it)
3.Change nameofpng to the name of your transparent background image (just the name - do not include the file extension .png)
4.Place this image with the same name as the @drawable value in res/drawable-ldpi
(of course other devices might be in mdpi or hdpi)
5.Recompile and sign apk
Put in a flashable zip and flash with system mounted
6.You can download and use the pngs in the attachment (for ldpi like galaxy y) or create your own
To create a transparent status bar image just take a non Transparent one and edit it in a photo application to make it Transparent (make sure image dimensions stay the same and is for your phone resolution)
2-)Method two for cm7
Note you will need apk tool installed and notepad++ installed
1.Download the patcher tool by Z25
2.Unzip the contents to a folder
3.Place your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk in files_to_patch
4.Run patcher.bat
5.Select status bar tweaks and enable only transparent status bar
6.Edit the smali file as described in the text file that pops up
7.Select option build and sign
8.Select option to create zip files
You now have a zip file called patch.zip
Flash this in cwm to enable transparency
To actually make it Transparent you need to apply a theme with a transparent status bar
First disable wallpaper hack from adw launcher settings
Then either download a transparent Theme from playstore for theme chooser and apply in theme chooser
Or create your own theme
Goto UOT kitchenhttp://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen
Code:
1.Take cyanbread.apk from the app folder of your cm7 rom & place on pc (or any other Theme Chooser Theme you wish to make transparent)
2.Rename it to what you want to call theme
3.Upload it to kitchen (under cm7 theme in file upload)
I4.n status bar tweaks set background transparency to around 70% Transparent and any other settings you need like carrier or footer - don't forget to generate preview once done
5.Make sure you have selected ldpi in statusbar tweak settings and ldpi/mdpi for theme chooser preview in file upload (other devices may vary) and in file upload change update binary to galaxy
6.Then goto summary section
7.If everything is green create the theme
8.If not make sure you have clicked generate preview on status bar tweaks
kitchen will then create theme for you
Once it's done download it flash in cwm with system mounted & then apply it in theme chooser
here are some of the statusbar my marcussmith2626--

Its much better to actually link to the orig thread and just have an index type thread instead of just posting the entire guide here
this is because threads are updated and its also much eaiser for people to get support from the person who wrote the thread then just having spam "help me" stuff here
also you didnt seek permission to repost all these guides - well at least you didnt ask me
creating a thread which indexes guides is fine and links to the thread but just copy and past the entire guide is not good
you can get an idea of what an index thread is by clicking on the link in my signature as that will take you to my index thread

Bro You Could give Links to original thread instead of re posting all guides..its look messy

Thread Closed as it is nothing but duplication of existing work present in the device forum.

[GUIDE]How to Animate PNGS

THIS IS A SAMPLE ANIMATION:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBdxxLtgCg&feature=youtu.be
I cannot provide the pngs I used on that animation because I mod it long time ago. I already lost the files.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEPS:
1.) Download animate.zip. Extract and put animate.xml in drawable folder.
2.) Create png/images that will be animated, (like bootanim, .gif)
3.) Put in drawable-ldpi. (or mdpi, hdpi, depends on your device)
4.) Open animate.xml
5.) Duplicate and edit the lines depending on how many pngs will you animate.
Code:
<item android:duration="1000" android:drawable= [user=3944923]@drawab[/user]le/YourSamplePng1" />
<item android:duration="1000" android:drawable= [user=3944923]@drawab[/user]le/YourSamplePng2" />
<item android:duration="1000" android:drawable= [user=3944923]@drawab[/user]le/YourSamplePng3" />
(NOTE: YourSamplePng must be the name of your png that you will animate.)
(PS: As you can see inside animate.xml, there's android: oneshot="false". )
false = infinitely show the png you list/looping.
true = show the png you list and will end on the bottom/last <item png you list.
PPS: 1000 duration = 1 second. (1000 milliseconds)
6.) Save.
7.) How to use? go to ImageView or android:background lines and put the @drawable/animate.
