[THEME] Clean TW Lockscreen Mod

Hi everyone!
I didn't like the animated arrows on Samsung's lockscreen, but couldn't find a mod for it here.
So I tweaked it a bit to remove the text and the arrows Here's a preview:

Includes my battery icons as a bonus
XWJPA
XWJPA (with multi-locale support)
XXJPO (with multi-locale support)

How-to:
1. Decompile framework-res.apk, navigate to \res\values\
2. do a search for strings.xml files in explorer
3. Drag and drop all the files from the search results into Notepad++
4. Find using REG expressions:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2.*
replace with:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2"> </string>
(Tip: use the "replace in all open documents" button)
5. Save all files
6. Compile apk as usual

Nice m8. Works great.
Edit: Noticed that I still have the text for swiping the screen. Did you remove only english text because mine is in finnish?

What is the name of the file you have edited to remove the wordings?

Nice
Can you also make this for JPM please?

Thanks for the note, here's a fixed version with support for other languages. Let me know if it works.

For English, it's under res\values\strings.xml
Do a search in the file for zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2
You can also find other strings.xml files for various languages in other values folders (e.g. values-es)

Is it possible to get this for JM1? I would absolutely love this D:

Using your JPO Version but changed battery icon (Version E from repository)
For anyone interested..
Updateable through CWM (rename to update.zip or use install from zip option).

thank you great work!

Does it need deodexed ROM?

As JPO and JPA seem to be mostly different in localization I would take a wild guess and say yes.
You better prepare an update.zip with your vanilla framework though better safe than sorry.

Not at the moment, I'm waiting for the official Froyo builds to be released before making mods for them. Right now seems many are suffering from ORD (me included )
Also looking into how the pngs can be added to apks to save some work

This is exactlly what i was looking for...but now ive had it for a few days and reading other mods is there any chance you could make the extended power menu for this aswell? then it will truely be perfection...

I agree.. i love the look of this theme..
If it included the ext. power menu.. I would use it forever.. lol
Maybe this is something that can be done by me if someone tells me how?
Also i am a noob with this stuff.. i have no idea how to install this even with instructions in thread.. So i would like to make this into a cwm flashable zip.. with the power menu added. If it's easy maybe someone could tell me how or just cook it up for me?

Damn I love that clock.
I wish there was a widget with that clock on the market,
looks very elegant

[DEVTOOL] Saint's Color Editor v1.1 (changing colors in Android XML files made easy)

Saint's Color Editor v1.1​
I developed this tool to easily edit android colors in decompiled xml files. I'm sharing it here to help other themers because personally I found changing colors in xml files as the most painful part of theming.​

Change Log
Version 1.1
* Looks up and loads named colors like @color/black from the same xml file and also interprets standard named colors
* Improved error handling​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to install and use?
Pretty simple..
- Unzip ColorEditor.exe anywhere you like and run..
- You must have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installed on your pc
- Open any android xml file that contains colors
- Click on colors you want to change and choose alternate color from the color dialog that pops up (the app will automatically identify the hex code)
- When you are done, hit File/Save or Saveas..​... as simple as that

Redownload again.. I made a fix since some standard color hex values were not translated properly and I have also included a Undo/Redo functionality..

I don't know why this tool did not got any attention from themers, since it is quite handy.
Thanks mate, again

Very great work mate!
I'll try it!

Very good tool definately makes changing colors easy. One question is do you use this to change the colors.xml from framework res cause i seem to just get boot loops whenever changing a couple of colours in that file even if just copy the resources file to a working framework res still get a bootloop. Not sure what to try. I only change the clock and secondary text colour. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Yes, I use this a lot to change colors.xml and no I never had boot loops. Boot loops cannot be due to changing colors. It could be due to the way you compile the apk's. For system apk's try not to flash signed apk's. I used to get boot loops when I sign system apk's. Flash only unsigned system apk's. Hope this helps...

hi i want to change the color of like the text in messages, the text which you type out, which value should i edit in my framework color.xml?

The fonts should change automatically and so should the animations, try switching between multitasking apps and you should notice the new animations

You could download the zip and see it's folder structure and then use any filemanager with root access and copy to a safe place like your sdcard or you could use ROMToolbox. Maybe titanium can backup fonts and animations too?
And I think in one of the original threads the OP has an backup zip tool of some kind.
Sent from my Paranoid SGS2

I intended to do that, but I saw that framework.res is modified and I have also a modified framework ( crt off , effect, and ics lockscreen) so If I overwrite it with this one will I loose my other modifications?
Or has anyone tried this on a XWLPG is it working fine?

Don't think so but I'm not 100%, see I already had CRT off and ICS lockscreen and it is still there.
I'm guessing this mod only alters animations and font and leaves the rest untouched somehow?

I haven't used your mod, but used the original mods separately and both of the work just fine. I don't like the fonts though, so reverted to default roboto.

[Q] How to extract my Theme?

Hey guys i have made some sort of theme just combined ALOT ALOT ALOT of stuff together you can check it out in my signature i wanted to know if there is some where to just pull it all out, i dont want to make a nandroid or some sort of backup to get my apps back i just want some apk or zip that i can move from galaxy nexus to another galaxy nexus and that it will just change the theme so i thought about pulling out my theme and just changing files in another theme that is already ready.
Will be happy for a guide if someone know or for some direction, i have no knowledge in android software only in java.
Thank You
EDIT: already made 3 themes but it takes me around a day to make each perfect but i cant save them so im just wasting alot of time on changing it back to the previous one. still needs help! how to just copy all the shortcuts/wallpaper/widgets etc. TY!

BUMP ?

If you're not de-compiling and recompiling the apk's on your computer then I wouldn't really call what you have a "theme" because at that point you would have the edited apk's i.e. systemUI, framework-res and others on your computer. But from your link it looks like you have a couple "customizable" apps and you changed 3 of the navbar images. Have you done anything to mms, email, calculator, phone, contacts, settings to make a "complete" theme? You can adb pull the apk's you edited from your device and package them in a zip to flash on another device. But that device needs to be running the same exact rom.
Why you're not using and working with the theme engine is beyond me.
good day.

I have most of the stuff you said inverted with different mods, so how about make it more simple just export the home screen? how do i do that?
all the rest i can adjust each apk and recompile it then flash it and have the right color/theme for stuff like contracts/phone etc.
what is theme engine? i am using aokp and its abit them-able and also some launchers can give 1 color theme to most of the stuff my base was Holo Green btw i just customized it, so what exactly do you mean when you say theme engine?
TY

You need to download a theme template and edit it by decompiling it.
This is the Theme Chooser engine being referred to. Its used in CyanogenMod and AOKP, PA.. etc

thank you for your answer but none of the above are including what im trying to do, i already know what is theme manager and i know i can tweak themes to change them but again my problem is themes i already made i want to export them, i dont know how to re edit a full team and add inverted stuff and change homescreen with 10 widgets on it from code that doesnt even make sense all i want to do is to save the way my screen looks like to be able to upload it on any rom on same device later on in the future that way i can also export to people my themes and use them myself. the guide you gave me is not about editing themes its just about how to change folders and files in an already exist theme which i cant do becouse i have no idea where all my widgets icons shortcuts that i use implanted in the phone so i cant really copy paste them. thank you for trying tho.

Widgets/Shortcuts are launcher items, Try and find the export option in your launcher settings. You can then copy these exported setting files to another phone and import them there (the apps/widgets need to be installed though)

SystemUI mods for SM-T815 Deodex AOJ4

Hi,
There are some sweets for deodexed aoj4:
1. 3minit battery mod.
I think everyone knows what does that mean,so no screenshots needed.
Download from Mega
2. Wide notification panel with 10 quick settings buttons
Looks same as stock,but screen wide. Quantity of quick settings buttons increased to 10. See screenshots from next point,looks same, but with stock colors.
Download from Mega
3. Wide notification panel with 10 quick settings buttons,black color.
I really don't like stock colors,more over Amoled displays don't like white color for energy saving.That was the reason for me to make dark themed notification panel(sound volume panels also dark).

Disable ADM in galaxy Tab S2 T815Y
Any ideas as to disable android device manager completely? not just turning it on and off in google settings or settings.

Hi, is there any chance that it will be working on t715?

Flashed the 3rd one and it gives me system ui stopped working
Flashed your deodexed zip to remove it.
Do you think its because I'm using google now launcher or its something else I should look for

Sorry for late reply.I had no internet access for some period.
I don't think that the reason for stopping is launcher.Look for another reason like some tweaks for SystemUI.

The only man who can answer your question is You.
Unfortunatelly I don't have 810 on hands and cann't test it.
Just make full back up with TWRP and flash required zip. You will see the result and then make a post in this thread so I will add 810 to topic.
Thank you.

Since you already figured out how to change the cot on this version of systemui, care to give me a little help on which values to modify on my t715? I spent all night yesterday on trying to get this to work but I apparently did something wrong.
/system/privapp/systemui/systemui.apk/ is correct, right? Other versions of touch wiz seem to use the drawable-xxhdpi folder, but I can only find that in /vendor/.
I'd just use your apk but I can't afford a broken system today because I have finals in a couple days and I shouldn't even be making this post actually.

katakis1,
First of all you should make your system deodexed.
/system/privapp/systemui/systemui.apk/ is correct, right?
That is correct. But you need to decompile this file to make changes like it was made in my modds.
Unfortunatelly I cannot write complete how-to because of lack of time. But you can find these how-to's on xda-forum.Just use search. Find any how-to concerning tweaks or color changes of systemui.apk for any popular Samsung model(I was using how-to from S5,S6 and Note 4).
