[TUTORIAL] How to change your Recent Apps Window. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello folks,
This MOD inspired and originally posted by evilisto for ICS ROM's.
How to change your recent apps windows like the screenshot below.​
1. Inside attached zip there is three files (status_bar_recent_item.xml) and (status_bar_recent_panel.xml), copy them to SystemUI\res\layout for Android 4.2 and SystemUI\res\layout-port for Android 4.1. And nyandroid11.png move it to SystemUI\res\drawable-nodpi
2. Go to SystemUI\res\values\bools.xml and change:
From:
Code:
<bool name="config_recents_thumbnail_image_fits_to_xy">false</bool>
To:
Code:
<bool name="config_recents_thumbnail_image_fits_to_xy">true</bool>
3. Go to SystemUI\res\values\colors.xml and change:
From:
Code:
<color name="status_bar_recents_app_label_color">#ffffffff</color>
To:
Code:
<color name="status_bar_recents_app_label_color">#ff555555</color>
4. Go to SystemUI\res\values\drawables.xml and change:
From:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_app_thumbnail_background">#88000000</item>
To:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_app_thumbnail_background">#ffe0e0e0</item>
5. Go to SystemUI\res\values\ids.xml and search for:
Code:
<item type="id" name="recents_transition_background">false</item>
Code:
<item type="id" name="recents_transition_placeholder_icon">false</item>
If they are not there, add them.
6. Go to framework-res\es\values\dimens.xml and change thumbnail height and width size to:
Code:
<dimen name="thumbnail_height">160.0dip</dimen>
Code:
<dimen name="thumbnail_width">240.0dip</dimen>
- Note that you may lose kill all button.
- Not all ROMs will support this MOD like Xylon.
- This Mod was tested for XHDPI devices so you may change thumbnail height/width to match your device screen resolutions.
- You can use your own Recent window, just name it nyandroid11 and copy it to SystemUI\res\drawable-nodpi

Is this possible to do on a galaxy nexus? I'm the one who asked you on other thread about xperia theme I've been running mods/launcher really like the look but is it possible to add recent like these or something similar thanks loving your latest another killer theme.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Vicino, do you know is it possible to change the recent window background? I mean, in 4.1, if we open recent menu,it will give us a semi-transparent background right? While in 4.2, it will give us the wallpaper we are using. Do you know if we can change it and put our own selected image for the background?
I hope you understand what im explaining here. Im talking about the background here, not the frame.

Like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080206
Or the normal recent background?

So there is already a tutorial for this? Thank you, i didnt noticed that. I will give it a try today.
One more question, if i still want to use your Moto theme, do i need to do something extra?

Dont quote the whole post please? Saves space. Im sorry for not answering your PM earlier.. PM's slip my mind because i usually check when i get up in the morning. You have to recompile by doing apktool b SystemUI. Then once built in /res/build/apk of the SystemUI decompiled folder open up the archive of the original apk with 7zip and move over the Res resource.arsc and the other file there i cant recall the name everything but the Manifest. Then you must flash this in a zip, you cannot just replace the apk in /system. Then you should be fine :good:

[TUTORIAL] How to change Android's black background

If you ever get bored with the black background in Android, now you can change it by making a few small edits to framework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml
This will affect MOST of the black background you see in Android (e.g. settings, contacts, mms, installer etc.) with the exception of certain apps that use their on backgrounds (e.g. contacts logs, email etc.).
Difficulty level: Medium
1. Decompile framework-res.apk
2. Navigate to res/values and open styles.xml
3. Locate <style name="Theme">
4. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
5. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
6. Locate <style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme">
7. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/black</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
8. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@color/black</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
9. Create a 480x800 png to your liking, name it mybackground.png and place it in drawable-hdpi folder
9. Recompile framework-res.apk
DONE!
Always create a backup before making any modifications!!!

Its really not that hard.... Its time consuming in the beginning with trial and error and nandroid recoveres. But its worth it in the end and the selfsatisfaction feels great. "yes, I figured it out" or "I really can do this". Try and see.
As longa you doa back up you really can't screw it up.

Updated OP with screenshots.
You might wanna enlarge the ppics too see better as my background is more subtle. I am using the Ice Cream Sandwich texture.
I'd like to know how to successfully make the font color white in the bubbles of mms and change all of the white background images to black and invert it's color so it's white font on black background. The white background with black font is ugly.
And this is definitely nice! I'll give this a shot, too!

Speaking of guides, Tiffany how does one change the tab colors at the top of the phone and contacts apk.? I've tried swapping out nearly every PNG I can think of in the framework res.apk, system ui, phone, and contacts apps and still can't get my phone off the stock Samsung blue. Thanks.

I've never even looked. My theme is blue so I've always kept it. I'll look and get back to you if someone doesn't give you your answer before hand.
The tabs are located in twframework-res.apk. They are called tw_tab_focused.png and so on.
Thank you, that probably explains why nothing happens when I switch out the PNG's in system UI.

Your information was spot on got most everything swapped out, thanks again.
If I could borrow your expertise again would you know where the files are located in the attached photo. They mostly show up in contacts even though I swapped out the dialer and contacts apps from Crysis21's SensatioN ROM?

Thank you, I must be overlooking something I'll just go through it more carefully.

[HOW TO] Background image to mms.apk and transparent item notification

Hi to all...
This is a little guide on how to mod mms.apk of a stock samsung firmware and on how to apply a full or semi transparence to the notification items, if exists any similar guide (i have searched many part of this section and i haven't found nothing of this) please, moderators, delete this thread.
First of all keep in mind that we'll work on XWLPG 4.0.3 firmware.
I'm assuming that you have the basic knowledge on how to decompile-recompile apk of your system image.
Ok, let's start...
PART 1 - HOW TO APPLY A BACKGROUND IMAGE TO MMS.APK
We'll need to "patch" this apk, because as it is, the mms.apk use a solid color (black) like background and we want to use an image instead.
So, first, decompile mms.apk
Go to res/values/styles.xml
Search for this (usually the last paragrapher)
Code:
<style name="TwMessageTheme" parent="@touchwiz:style/TwTheme">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
delete it and paste the following
Code:
<style name="TwMessageTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Wallpaper">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/mms_bg</item>
</style>
Of course you must insert a PNG called mms_bg.png in your drawable-hdpi folder (i have used a 470x512 resolution image).
Done....now recompile your mms.apk and push it in to your system/app folder!
The following screen show the results of this modification

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
PART 2 - HOW TO SET TRANSPARENT COLOR TO NOTIFICATION ITEMS
This is the link of the guide, found in other section, that used for make this.
The following screen shows the default visual appearance of the notification items background
Sorry, this isn't an image from a stock samsung rom, but as you can see is a solid dark grey color, something similar of a stock look.
With this little tip you can change this and make it full or semi transparent
Decompile you SystemUI.apk (remember to install your framework, it's a proprietary rom)
Go to res/values/drawables.xml
search for the following (usually the line number 34)
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#ff1f2225</item>
SEMI TRANSPARENT -----> change the value #ff1f2225 with #77000000
You will have the following
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#77000000</item>
FULL TRANSPARENT ------> change the value #ff1f2225 with #00000000
You will have the following
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#00000000</item>
Now recompile system.UI and you're done.
The screen shot shows an example of semi transparent background
Enjoy....
Ps.: sorry for my bad english (i feel like a robot writing this )
Pps.: i know this is a very little "how to", nothing special, but i am trying to be useful to this great community...

Wow, someone gets interested!
Aside the joking, can you be more specific, please? in which part of tutorial you have difficult? and when do you have error? at decompiling or recompiling?
Im trying to make the notifications transparent. these are controlled in the res/values/drawables.xml
However when i try to decompile the systemui.apk with any apktool i get errors in the coding. Most of the lines will be fine and show up as they should. However i get around 10-15 lines of /APKTOOL DUMMY/ text.
What version of apktool or software did you use to decompile your apks for this tutorial?
I hope that makes sense lol

Sorry if i reply lately, but my sons make me busy all the time when i am at home...
First...i use apk manager
Well, make sure you install the framework of your rom when decompiling SystemUI (option 10 instead of 9, when the shell requests it drag and drop framework-res.apk of your rom in to the apk manager's window, that's because the one that came with apk manager is generic one ).
I am using THIS apk manager, all credits to Wanam: it's a modded version based over 4.9 official release.
Let me know if works (it should).
Thanks for the help.
However im still getting errors on decomiling.
I did some testing this morning and the only file im having errors on is the res/values/drawables.xml
Everything else is fine but that.
Used the apktool you linked and still get samr thing.
Grrrr ita getting annoying lol

Assuming that you had follow my instructions (i refer to install framework of your rom) and it st, can you send to me your systemUI and your framework-res.apk?
Just one thing: note that you can decompile only not themed apk (original)....
EDIT: send me the log too
Ahhhh i think that could be an issue.
The framework and systemui have both been themed using the universal Zip theme. Ill get the original files tested and see how it goes
Yeah i installed the franework as you said

Thank you for the help!!
The background image has been changed but its also added a 'title bar' see picture.
This wasnt there before. Any idea on how to get rid?

Do you remember how was original title bar? Was it black, like original background?
If you can post a picture of the stock apk, cause it maybe a little different from the GS2 one
It wasnt there at all. The blue bar was at the top of the screen

LOL, now i have understand well, soory (i am like retarded )
So please describe exactly what you've done. Cause you have the device on signature and not a GS2, so if you have followed my instructions maybe something to modify in proceedure.
I have a galaxy note n7000 and i followed your tut to the letter. All the coding was the same in my mms.apk as in your tutorial.
Looking at your screenshots you have it too. Might have a play with the codes
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Got it to work
I just used the bit of your code which specified the mms_bg and it works great
Thanks for the help on this.

can you also change the colour of the background within mms.apk for example when you click a message and enter the conversation view the background behind the bubbles would look much better black instead of grey/blue colour
is this possible its one thing i hate about stock mms.apk

Yeah, it's possible for sure. I had understand that this background is not a PNG but a solid color (if anyone here knows more please tell), just i need to recognize the xml style and patch it in the right way. To do this i only need time.
Once it is done we can also tell to our dear mms.apk to use an image file instead a solid color (balck or grey, it doesn't matter).
Great Tutorial
I was looking for this for too long !!!!
Thanks..

[Theme][2.17base]Onepagebook-InsertCoin Version 9.3.0

OK folks,
This is the whole theme pack for Great rom , IsertCoin 8.05 --->Kudos to Baad
I have long time never done this since RCmix @ DHD,
(you can still check out my sig for more info about what I did)
so bear with me if you find something weird, and please let me know.
Themed Files:
Basically what I do for the theme included about most system/app along with com.htc.resource and framewrok-res
That's around more than 3000 PNGs
I most likely resize or grab my previous work and optimized those pngs.
Code:
[B][COLOR="blue"]Credit[/COLOR][/B]:
However, part of my work idea or Pngs come from [COLOR="darkbrown"]CoreDrid[/COLOR]. so they are the first one I have to appreciate .
Also, the wifi icons are from the great Themer [COLOR="Navy"]kalagas[/COLOR]. Thanks
Also I must give the courtesey credit for my mentor, [COLOR="Blue"]orkorleve[/COLOR], he let me use some of pngs long times ago those are also in use for this theme pack.
If I forgot to give "thank you" to whom I need to, please let me know.
here is the list of system app I mod/themed

Hit the thank you buttons hard as many as you can

OK, now, we have kinda fun part,
download the patch..and try to check out after you flash
that's the old way I and Nick played on our DHD theme
and now, Nick(Rayford85) just turned it to One-x now..
Big Thanks to him..bro
ok, if you guys need to get your own favor picture, here are the ways to do..
use un-rar or unzip program on your computer to open rosie and systemui up, not unzip/unrar
for Rosie appdrawer background, you have to use 827x1240 "jpg" ONLY and put it under drawable-xhdpi folder to replace what I put in there
for systemui pull down menu background
you need to have image type png for 827x1240 and name as statusbar_background.png
now have fun
Grab it here:

Nice!
I used your themes back in the DHD (together with Rayford). Thank you.
Wish: That black Navbar at the bottom of the Rosie, I hope that one day it will be gone and permanently be transparent. I wish for your theme to have this desperate wish granted.
Cheers!
Awesome theme! Looking forward to seeing more additions to make it even better.
Only 1 request opb - can the numbers & symbols on the stock keyboard be changed to make them more visible? Maybe blue like the direction keys at the bottom of the keyboard layout.
Edit: just noticed my clock doesn't have the same design as yours (circular lines), my play store icon & several other items remained the same & my folders when opened looks like stock & not like the image above. :crying:
Great work mate!!!!:thumbup:

Here's something that took us ages to figure out to get rid of the ugly green on the quicksettings toggle buttons. All you need to do is change colors.xml inside your skin (aluminum) to the blue colors you want, then in systemUI.apk inside the AndroidManifest.xml look for line 14 the Application line. at the very end of the string add this simple tag & your toggles will be nice & blue
Code:
allowSkinChange="true">
heres the line from our rom
Code:
<application android:label="@string/app_label" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_settings" android:allowClearUserData="false" android:persistent="true" android:allowBackup="false" android:vmSafeMode="true" android:hardwareAccelerated="false" allowSkinChange="true">

I will keep this updated with the latest OP from the thread @Kdio made for this great theme.
This works completely on all stock touchwiz 4.3 ROMs regardless of device model or carrier. The reason why is because @Kdio has made this only change the images that are already in the ROM and not touch the code. So if theres any text color issues please report them with screenshots and one of us will let you know what line in the xml needs edited.
You can flash this again at any time and try the other options because all it will do is replace the images.
I will try to keep up support here but if you don't get a response from me I would check out the official thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341829

Objective:
As extensively researched by the community, the use of black backgrounds in OLED (AMOLED and Super AMOLED) devices may lead to a gain up to 20% more battery juice. As related information, you can find some maths here and this xda experiment.
If, as is mine, your main concern is lifetime and not the looks, give this a try and share your experience. Mine is been fantastic!
What is modded:
All background png's of the following apk's are set to black
- ClockPackage
- JobManager
- FlashBarService
- JobManager
- MusicPlayerWT
- SecBrowser.apk
- SecCalculator2
- SecCalendar_NAmerica
- SecContacts
- SecDownloadProviderUi
- SecEmail_J
- SecGallery2013
- SecLauncher2
- SecMms
- SecNoteMyFiles
- SecPhone
- SecSettings
- SecVideoList
- SecVideoPlayer
- SystemUI
- framework-res
Notice: If you flash this mod just after flashing the ROM (before first boot) Desk and Lock screen will be set to black.
Requirements:
- Sammy Stock ODEX/DEODEX Rooted 4.3 ROM
- ClockworkMod like Recovery (any)
Install for i747/i747m:
- Enter recovery;
- For i747/i747m 4.3.x firmware ROM's, flash AllBacksBlackS3.3.i747.20140323.zip (43.00Mb)
- Be sure to pick the first option in Aroma to install the core graphics then it will give you customization options;
- Restart your device;
Update Log:
- 03/23/14 - Updated with the Calendar. Also added my SecVideoList xml edits. Hopefully this time FlashBarService works properly too. I didn't actually get to test the video player list (SecVideoList) besides the one I recompiled and posted so let me know if the background is black or white. Same goes with multiwindow. Just figured I'd rush this out because its been about a month. I will probably get a chance to test this out later in the week but the only problems will probably be those 2 not working and they are both posted as flashable zips in here also.
Fix for Multiwindow
- @Kdio implemented the xml files I edited for this into the aroma. Should work fine for all of you. I will keep the fix posted in case though or if in the future we decide to separate them again.
Uninstall:
- Enter recovery;
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik
- Flash back your ROM without wiping system/data.
- Restart your device;
To-Do
- Fix for Multiwindow text color
- Fix for remaining blue in notification panel (For now you can use wanam xposed but I will work on this soon)
- You tell me
Credits
@Kdio - For his great vision with this theme and helping me learn to theme! Thank you for letting me share your work here also. If you like this theme he is the man to thank, all I did was bring it to your attention and make a few text color edits.
@Danvdh - For making my favorite ROM for the i747 (Dandroid) and for the inspiration for me to start developing!!
@loserskater and @enewman17 - For their awesome work ethic to make the s3 on touch wiz bareable!
@Chad The Pathfinder - For his help teaching me to theme also.
Feel free to leave feedback on your improved battery life!
Screenshots
Thank you very much talkingmonkeys.
You are all in very good hands.
Please enjoy and be welcome.
Nice regards.
.
disregard old screenshots removed and new ones added to first post.
DO NOT USE FlashBarService.apk UNLESS YOU ARE ON THE i747/i747m WITH STOCK MULTIWINDOW. Also know that this is now included in the aroma so this really is only here for future possibilities
Ok so I will leave instructions here as well as my edited apk for flashbarservice for i747/i747m. I want to stress that not all roms multiwindows are the same. I know stockmod has the note 3 multiwindow which the theme edits may not even work properly on but flashing this apk I'm leaving here will definitely break your multiwindow in that rom. Since I use S3Rx that is the rom that I have pulled this from and I know it is the same as a true stock 4.3, Intergalactic and dandroid have.
Anyway if you want this on stockmod or any other rom with multiwindow that isn't the stock samsung one this is the edit you'll want to make. Also for people seeing this thread that are on sprint, tmobile, verizon or any other device beside the i747 you will have to do this to fix multiwindow text color. It requires decompiling the flashbarservice apk and editing a few lines in 3 xml files.
- Decompile Flashbarservice.apk
- Open res/color/applist_btn_text.xml
- Edit the android:color codes in these lines to the following:
<item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="#ffffffff" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#ffffffff" />
<item android:color="#ffffffff" />
- Save
- Open res/layout-xhdpi/applist_edit.xml
- Edit 2 instances of android:color="" to "#ffffffff" Should be found on lines 4 and 7
- Save
- Open res/layout-xhdpi/applist_item.xml
- Edit android:color="" to"#ffffffff" on line 9
- Save
- Recompile Flashbarservice.apk
- Use 7zip to put the original files meta-inf folder and androidmanifest into flashbarservice.apk to prevent a bootloop
- Push to system/app and fix permissions to rw-r--r--
Or if you're on an i747 or i747m just push the below apk to system/app and fix permissions to rw-r--r--
You can also try "Multi Window Manager" from the play store and install xposed framework then just use the app to select dark theme from the settings if you want to be lazy. Now this I haven't tested without editing the text strings so if anyones willing to save themselves a few steps go ahead and give this a shot.

Should work fine. Make a nandroid backup and try it out. Only thing you may run into an issue with is the xml edits I did for multiwindow text but I don't think it will cause any issues. So if it doesn't work right you can remove system/app/flashbarservice.apk folder from the zip. Multiwindow won't be themed correctly which you can fix by just using "multi window manager" from the play store (free) and select the dark theme.
Also please post how it works for you so other tmobile users that see this will know if its safe for them.
Edit: or check out the t mobile dandroid thread, enewman posted what hes been working on :good:

Hey derride8
Just drop your idea of app drawer icon and we all can contribute.
Tks dude.
.
Ok after finally being satisfied with my fresh rom I have looked through this quite a bit and found some things that need work. Even adding my xml edits into the updated aroma it doesn't seem to stick with my fix for multiwindow. Can anyone else confirm this? May just drop the idea and suggest using "Multi Window Manager" off the play store because I use it anyway to enable everything I want to work with multiwindow. It also has a handy dark theme feature built in which fixes the text color and looks similar to how kdio intended it.
Also planning on working on making an xposed module to help us with some of these text colors and other various blue that needs edited out with xml. This may take awhile so don't hold your breath on it.
Will have screenshots coming with more of the colors tonight and showing how this is looking. Can't seem to get kdio's battery icons to work right so I tried to find some in the ogbatterymod app that fit in nicely for each different look but this is probably because of me using ogbatterymod and they should work fine for you
As I was doing screenshots I happened to catch these 2 for you kdio, anything you can do about this ugly white for messaging notification? OP is also updated with screenshots finally.

[Theme] Sprint ND8 4.4.2 Stock Elegant White Theme [Updated 6/4]

Hey guys. Here's an Elegant White Theme for the new Sprint ND8 update. I thought I'd share it here since there were some folks who liked it back on MK3.

All icons are from stock TW but I'm working on another zip which will include icons from the WPX MK3 roms. Thanks to @bilgerryan, @dazednconfused and the rest of TeamWicked for allowing me to use them. I hope you all enjoy.

Thanks man. It's been a little frustrating trying to get this one to look just like the MK3 release. Samsung changed a few things around in framework. I haven't been able to figure out one text in particular because it definitely affects the text in some 3rd party apps. As always, thanks for supporting the theme!

No problem. Go into framework-res/drawable and look for the following 2 xml's: tw_screen_background_selector_dark and tw_screen_background_selector_light. You can also control them in framework-res//res/values/styles.xml.
Edit: Those 2 xml's will actually direct you to "tw_background_holo_dark" and "tw_background_holo_light". Since you want to use a png image, you're going to have to add your png to the drawable folder and then edit the following xml lines:
framework-res/drawable/tw_background_holo_dark/
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ff000000" /> change this this line to the name of your png. Example: "@drawable/framework_background"
framework-res/drawable/tw_background_holo_light/
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffffff" /> change this line to the name of your png
Example: "@drawable/framework_background"

Wow, what a mess I made of that. It should be correct now. Sorry for all the changes..
Edit: This is what it should look like..
framework-res/drawable/tw_background_holo_dark/
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ff000000" /> change this this line to the name of your png. Example: "@drawable/framework_background"
framework-res/drawable/tw_background_holo_light/
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffffff" /> change this line to the name of your png

Thanks brother. It's definitely gotten easier this time around. Although, Samsung got a little tricky with this release. I think they were a little peeved that we managed to invert MK3. Lol
