I am looking fire a developer who can help me port over a simple mod. I tried in my own but do not know enough. I do but want them to just do it I want them to explain what to do so next time I can do it myself.
I originally thought I just needed to change the Mount points but that did but fix it. After installing the mod the phone hangs at the boot splash animation fir the Rom.
Please can someone help me learn

What phone is it for? If it involves a resource file from another phone it prob needs to be modified for our device's framework-res. Will also DL and take a look later
Edit: there is a resource file in there, that would be device and android version specific. And since its not a whole Apk it'd be hard to decompile and port. What's it from?

Pretty sure it's from the sgsIII thats where I saw it as part of morphology so it shouldn't be extremely difficult to port or remake if need be. As a matter of fact mackentosh may add it in if he updates his morphology port since it's included in the newset sgsIII version. Really all it does is flash new font colors to the /system and launchers you can choose one or the other or both heres the original thread over on sprint sgsIII themes and apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091572

It "flashes new font colors to the /system" by replacing the compiled resources.arsc from the framework-res.apk from the sg3 Which is why he's getting a bootloop. And unless we have his framework-res.apk its not all that easy to decompile the resources to change. So unless you know something I don't this is built for the wrong phone and can't just be "ported" by replacing a few files here and there.
You could chuck this resource file into the stock framework-res that he's using and decompile, that sometimes works. Then copy the appropriate lines in colors.xml etc to our framework-res then compile. Then take that resources file and put it in a morph zip and it should work. But there's tons of xml's in there that are dif on our note

Its universal for TW roms on the sgsIII so it would probably be easier to just redo the mod based off of the note 2 files instead of trying to actually port it over. I haven't had a chance to open it up and see what we'd need to mod for a note 2 version. But seeing as how the sgsIII version works with any TW rom it shouldn't be too hard to make something similar for the note. The flashing part was just what they said in the sgsIII thread, I just haven't had the time to look and see what exactly it does.
Edit: I was actually thinking it was xml and smali edits to change the system font colors. I'm not all that great with smali/backsmali but I can manage as long ad I have my cheatsheet handy

Hmm I didn't think it would be that big a deal. I flash lots of sg3 stuff and they run fine. This is from morph like people have said and I run the morph itself directly as was written for the sg3. I am told something needs to be modified but it works fine for me the way it is and none will tell me what the original morph needs changed. I was thinking since this is pay off the morph it would be simpler than De compiling. I used to be a programmer and it kills me to have to wait around for someone to do something I could easily learn to do with a little guidance. . I will just keep trying. .
What resource is it using that would need to be changed?
Thanks for the input even if it didn't help

It's not that it's a big deal, its just that without the entire apk it makes it a little more difficult getting the values from his work and transferring them to ours. Most likely one could just download the rom he was working with (was it like LJ7 or something?), pull out the framework-res.apk, put the resource file from the morph into the framework-res.apk, then decompile it.
The rub is that we are not just dealing with single xml's in the morph. Alot of the time morphs with single xmls will work between phones, as the description for a battery mod or whatever is generally the same in Android. The problem is there is a resource file, which is several xml's bundled together from the values folder of a decompiled framework-res. In there there's several things that are device specific, the dimensions of things, the styles.xml, the public.xml etc. That is what is most likely causing the problem. All you want from the resource file is the info and values from the colors.xml, it's just by itself and needs to be reunited with its apk to be decompiled and transferred. like a tiny example, your transferring a resource file with a colors.xml bundled that doesn't have entries for the SPen, doesnt have a public xml that has all the info and id's of the SNote images in framework etc.
Yes I understand that if a resource file is used it is but a simple move . What does would I look for to know it had a resource file?

Not sure what your saying here, but I saw it had a resource file included by opening up the zip and looking inside.
In general I'll just say, it seems like your making it sound very easy to simply change all the text colors of a phone. Its not. The xml and such are scattered all over and different for each phone. So essentially your asking someone to either do it, or teach you how to theme as it would take hours and hours to explain the whole process of compiling, searching and changing all the appropriate spots.

Resource.arsc is the file. Needs to be decompiled to change. Its not a big deal, you just can't swap files between phones all willy nilly.
Doesn't seem like there's much more I can do to help. You've had a few people chime in with good info and try to help and you haven't even thanked anyone for the effort, so...I'm out

Unfortunately all the suggestions went over my head. Not yet knowledgeable enough to understand. As i said I am trying to learn. Thanks for trying. I guess I need to figure out how to decompile a rom. Got everything installed to do it but cannot figure it out. Looking for some hand holding but cannot find any.
Thanks anyway
And for the record only you and evil have posted and neither of you seen willing to God my hand and guide me through this. Not a big deal as I have been looking for someone for awhile and still am on my own trying to figure this out. I THOUGHT this was an easy task to break my teeth on but know now it is not. Sorry to have wasted your time. I will keep plugging.

Dreamsforgottens tutorial is great. Learned most of my android knowledge there. (Had a little help from Google too);-) Once you get eclipse set up I reccomend installing paint.net it's a nice image editor and it's free. It handles transparent pngs better than photoshop also. Pngcrusher is great for reducing image sizes too. Just remember to optimize your .9.pngs before compiling them in eclipse.

The fact that your apk is named unsignedunsignedmms is odd. Do you also an apk named unsignedmms in the modding folder as well as a decompiled unsignedmms folder in the projects folder? Also are you trying to sign from the modding folder and not the signing folder?
Edit: I missed something here. You're using a market app to sign your apk's? Why not just use apk manager?
Edit2: I just dl'ed that app, and trying it.
Edit3: With that app you need to have both the original apk and the unsigned modded apk in the folder. Though most apps that you sign, you're only doing it to take the resource.arsc file out of it so not sure why you would do it on your phone.
I was going to ask this for EL13 but being that a new leak is out, might as well ask on that, lol...

here's the problem with that
I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol
PNG files are image files. Like a .jpg they end with .png
An apk (.apk) is the application package. Every application on your phone is an apk file. You can open them with 7zip - don't unzip it though unless you feel like signing it and other crap. Also, make sure you zipalign and optimize the PNG files (Google that).

If this is something you really want I can do it for you. I would say do it yourself but the battery % mod can be a little tricky. I am assuming you just want the stock battery icons then?

The default system is not setup for % icons so you have to add a bunch of images and set the xml file to use them. It was more going through the xml. If this is all he wants changed then why would he learn xml?
so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.

Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.

so i wanna just make sure from one tiny thing. I want to make a theme for the cm7 beta 1 so i deleted everything except for systemui and the framework is that what i need to do? is there any other files i shouldnt have deleted?
-You need a xml editor for this. Something like Notepad++
-This mod is untested because I dont have the device at the moment.
-Make a backup of your current framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk files
-After 2 weeks I believe I found all of what I need for this MOD after going through the framework and Systemui of my Galaxy Nexus
-This did work on my Galaxy Note
-Please try at your own risk
How To
1. Decompile the framework-res
2. In the values folder you will find bools.xml
3. Open up the file and search for "config_showNavigationBar"
4. This should be false, change it to True
5. Open up the dimens.xml and search for "navigation_bar_height"
6. Change the value there to either one of these because im not sure how it would look (25, 30, 35)
7. Recompile your framework-res.apk
8. Extract or Decompile the systemui.apk
9. Navigate to the drawable-hdpi folder
10. Download these NavBar_Icons images and place them in that folder
11. Zip or Recompile the systemui.apk
(OPTIONAL)
After completing the above
Disable the light on the capacitive touch keys(Home-Back-Menu-Search)
1. Decompile the framework-res.apk
2. In the values folder you will find arrays.xml
3. Open that xml and search for "config_autobrightnessbacklightvalues"
4. Change all values to 0
5. Recompile the framework-res.apk

apktool seems to have trouble with compiling system apks from this leak. What are people using to compile system ICS apks for s2 leaks?

sorry to hijack your thread master & slave. i know you're always doin' good job. but from what i tested this bad boy there is trouble with it on any ics rom. if you look @ bottom of the screen it cuts it. meaning the size of that nav bar cuts off screen in phone.apk, camera.apk and other apps even the whole home screen.i find this lame thanks to samsung for skrewing our things 0v3r =\

Nah no Hijack...It should cut the screen because the buttons are always on screen on the GNex so Its cuts the screen here as well.
What I will do is try on my GSII on Thursday when I have my day off from work.

Thank you sir. I'm really dying for this mod, oddly enough, and the compile process isn't going so well. Thanks again for putting some time into this.

bump. i wanna see this mod get fixed... as crazy as it sounds, this is one of the features of ICS I've anticipated most... sad to see devs and "the man" cuttin' it out of their roms and overlays... Thanks for getting this started M&S!

I don't know why people want them now, since it looked like nobody wanted them like a month ago.

People have always wanted them. We were just pushed aside by those who think only their opinions matter. Its part of ics and actually a cool feature. Now those manufacturers making them hardware keys in their néw devices is just stupid. I can understand not wanting them on existing devices but new ones come on. What about the consumer

Sup M&S, I am goin to give this a shot, seeing as how I just fixed my apk manager. If I receive an error trying to compile, I will post the log.
Well, here it is... It worked but, is there a way to center the icons?
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I have been trying to find this image and cannot. In the screen shot I am trying to take the progress bar you see in green and go blue with it. I have looked through both frameworks and systemui and anything else I can think of. I can find several twprogressbar PNG's but they are already blue from the theme Im using. Does anyone know where that image is at. Thanks in advance.
try secdownloadprovider.apk
Just checked. No green pngs in it either. Thanks.
Checked both. The actual provider doesn't even have a Res folder. Kinda odd.
Its an xml not a PNG. I don't have a PC right now so I can't look and tell u the exact one but dazed knows. I would send him a pm. Sorry I couldn't be more help but it changed in ICS and without being able to look I can't remember which it is.

Hey that is awesome. Thank you. I throught I was going insane. Its the only green really left and I wanted to try and change it. I'm not the greatest with XML but I can give it a shot. Thanks again. I'll shoot him a PM after while.
Its really easy to change. If u want u can download my theme or Dazed‘s blue theme or an ICS theme and when u know the exact one u can swap them out or you can open them up and look at it so u get an idea. U need to use something like notepad++ to edit the XML and if your going to make the change yourself your going to need to decompile the apk because just extracting it with 7zip or something won't allow u to edit the XML. U won't be able to read it.

Thanks. Once I know which one it is I may do that. The hardest time I'm having right now is decompiling and recompiling ICS frameworks without issues. I am using APk multi tool and for the life of me I cannot get it to see the project. I try to decompile with dependencies and it says select a project so I do. But it never selects. I'll keep playing with it. But if burst knows which one it is that would be awesome. I see he's now in the thread.
Have u tried using the tool agat posted in development?

You know I downloaded it but didn't really give it a shot. Maybe that should be were I move to instead of keep beating my head against the table with the Multi tool. I'll give it a shot.
Apk manager is the best. I'm tired so too lazy to read previous posts, but the progress bar XML is progress_horizontal.XML under framework-res.apk > Res > Layout.

I just decompiled that and couldnt seem to see that file in the layout folder. maybe im looking in the wrong place?
Edit, there is one in the drawable folder?
Well I changed out the Progress_horizontal.xml and the TWprogress_horizontal.xml from the drawable folder. I used the framework from Tiffs ICS with a twist of Honey theme v1.0. That damn bar is still green. Verified all the PNGs were right. And made sure that I did indeed get thee right xmls switched over. Not sure what else to try. I looked in the layout folder and there wasn't a file named that in there. and ideas?
My bad, it is drawable. For ICS, it might be a part of SystemUI. (They also placed the battery mods in there.) Try those sub folders and search for "progress". I haven't done any ICS theming as of yet, but I think that should do it.

I think I may have got it, I just decompiled and changed the color code in the progress_horizontal.xml and recompiled. I looked through systemui and didn't see any files with that name. I'm flashing now so we will see shortley. Thanks for all your help. I will post back in just a few with the results.
Nope. OK, time to browse systemui a little better.
Found another one in tw.framework
OK, so I think I know what my issue is, problem in my process. thanks again. post back when i figure something out. if anyone has anymore input its all welcome.
OK, Im at a loss. I have changed it in both frameworks. still that bar is green, i dont get it.

It's gotta be the framework-res one. Are you editing the hex values? Eg: #ff475864

Not sure lol. It should show up if you have the apk in the right folder. I think u gotta place it in the 'pleace apk here for modding' folder. Option to select should be 25.
