[THEME] Black Modified Dock and Battery Icon

hi .. posting my first here at xda,, just wanted to share the theme i created by adding some of those modifications and themes from here at xda.. cannot recall the original authors but credits goes to them... if this post seems not good for them then please delete this respectable admins and moderators..
the theme is all black and have a modified clear dock, battery icon also modified..my rom is untouched... well don't know what to say but please see the pics for reference...
1. you need to have root access and a 3rd party launcher installed like adw or launcher pro just in case you mess touchwiz.
2. create a backup of your twframework-res.apk, framework-res.apk, and TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
3. replace them with the attached files. use adb or terminal emulator to do so...must set as SU and system is mount as RW.
just revert the steps to return your original files. i don't know how to create update.zip file, if anyone like to help then please post as you wish...
tested on JPK, JPC, JP6 and JPM.. i have not tested this to other firmwares.. please do at your own risk.. thanks...

how to apply the theme
some detailed steps for the newbies like me..
requirements:
1. root with busy box 1.17.x
2. terminal emulator [downloadable in the market free]
3. root explorer like astro
4. other launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro - [In case you mess the touchwiz]
5. download the 3 files on my post then save it at root folder of the SDCARD of your SGS
steps :
1. using root explorer.. create a backup of the following on your computer or external card
a. TouchWiz30Launcher.apk = location is system/app/
b. framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk = location is system/framework/
2. open your terminal emulator
3. type su then hit enter
4. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.
5. type cp -f sdcard/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk system/app then hit enter
6. type sync then hit enter
7. type reboot then hit enter
8. open your terminal emulator
9. type su then hit enter
10. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.
11. type cp -f sdcard/framework-res.apk system/framework then hit enter
12. type sync then hit enter
13. type reboot then hit enter
14. open your terminal emulator
15. type su then hit enter
16. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.
17. type cp -f sdcard/twframework-res.apk system/framework then hit enter
18. type sync then hit enter
19. type reboot then hit enter
separate each file and do sync and reboot to avoid problem such as terminal freezes then eventually system/framework will be corrupted, though you can fix it by reflashing, still best not to do reflash
done...

Is there any chance you can do a version without the tellytubby backs for the icons in the app drawer ?

i will check if that can be deleted.. love the idea

flanflinger...
i guess it is possible.. i need to test first.. i can change them to black to accompany the all black series like the dock background... wait... will use paint now and will try it first

updated TouchWiz30Launcher.apk

Spot on !

Oh this looks awesome, I just have 2 questions.
1. Will this work on JM1? (As I've seen a lot of themes for just JPM, JPK etc etc etc)
2. Which apk contains the edited top bar? Is it possible to just get the rest of the mod without the top bar editing? (I already have an edited one and I like it the way it is.)
Thanks,
Luke.

While at this step:
7. type cp -f sdcard/twframework-res.apk system/framework then hit enter
My phone froze, and I couldn't do anything for too long, so I turned it off and on by removing the battery, now whenever I try to boot it, it gets stuck on Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen...
Any idea how I should recover from all this?

Hi chickie.tobias i like your work.
I wanna know if u can make a framework-res.apk working on JM8 with stock samsung icon and battery icon version z stock gradient.
If u can do this i will appreciate your work. thanks

@chickie.tobias if i give you my framework-res.apk + twframework-res.apk, could you mod this for me? I really like your work bro!

[email protected],
I can try... really depends if you wanted the same look as this...

TawaNicolas,
i believe the only way is to reflash using odin....
lelf,
i can try, i just need your framework-res.apk and this file "battery icon version z stock gradient".

Many thanks bro. I dont need the battery icon mod but the notification bar (the black semi-transparent screen with wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc screen you modded). All i need is that (the dock bar would be a plus too). Ive included 3 files (framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and touchwiz30launcher.apk), but from what i know (but not sure) is you only need twframwork-res.apk to change to semi-transparent black notification screen, as framework-res.apk changes battery icon (which i dont need). Thanks in advance bro... (btw, my eclair firmware is zsjg4)

Here we go, my apk are up. I don't need battery icon mod, in this apk is arledy modded.
Pls make all the same as in the screenshoot the icon bar too. Thx you!!!!!!!!
FW: JM8

hi,i really like your themes..i follow your step and after reach the second step it said something like my phone not enough space then it start force close when i enter main menu..i try factory reset and now my phone cannot start but i still can reflash it...but is there any other way to install your themes to my phone since i'm very newbie at this thing..btw i'm running on JP6 with root
thanks

arianto12,
make sure to sync and reboot after copying one file. do not copy all the files at the same time...
[email protected] and lelf,
i sorry cannot do your themes since I am using Froyo... seems like you guys are using Eclair... currently still trying to further check the composition of each icons to modify them...

no worries bro....was really hoping i could get my phone to look like yours.......

No problem mate, thanks you for your time. see for next update for the theme!!

I did sync and reboot when i copy the first file but when i wanna do the same for the second file it said cannot copy..any idea?

[AOSP/SAMMY]Change the background of your settings Dialer/Contacts[updated 9/12/12]

TIme to update this
Older data on howto change manually is in the spoiler below
Hi all,
This guide is split into two parts as of now , part 1 is for changing the settings menu background and part 2 is for changing the backgground for dialer and contacts.
Part -1
may be this method is known to few but im posting this to people who dont know how to change the background image of the settings menu and other few.
Sample screenshots
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Like it?
here is the method to do proceed with.
Software needed :
1.7zip (to replace the image)
2.android sdk(to use adb commands to push/pull the files)
How it works:
We are modifying/replacing an image called "background_holo_dark.png" in the "framework-res.apk" which is responsible for displaying background images in menu.
Step 1:
Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Code:
adb pull system/framework/framework-res.apk
Step 2:
Open the framework-res.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Preparing your own image:
Now use any png image you want to set as background , resize it to 512 x 512 via mspaint or any other image editing software and rename the file to "background_holo_dark.png".
Drag the newly created image file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push the file back to mobile, type the following command in the same command prompt
Code:
adb remount
now type the following
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Part-2
Wanna change the background of the dialer and contacts?? well read below,
Step 1:
Use the adb command (or u can use root explorer) to pull the "Contacts.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Step 2:
Open the Contacts.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"Contacts.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_dial_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Drag the image (similar to the one created in part 1 of the guide) file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push/copy back the file back to mobile. Copy back the file to the same directory from where it is copied.
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Your dialer and contacts shortcut may be missing from your launcher, just drag it back to the homescreen from the app drawer.
Step:5
This step is optional!!! If you do not get those shortcuts, enter cwm and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Note:
For users who know how to use root explorer (or other file managers) can use the same to copy/paste the framework-res.apk before and after editing.
Sample images are taken with multi dpi, this mod will work with all dpi.
Instructions:
1. Download the zip from the download section below and open it in 7zip.
2. Navigate to the following directory "\mode\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\".(Sample images on post 2)
3. Change the images "background_holo_dark.png" and "background_holo_dark.png" as per your wish.
4. Flash it

when you say 'Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc' the phone must be connected with the PC?Im mean can't we pull it out with root explorer?

I have the stock rom on my device and tried it on your description to replace the background, but the black background is always shown. The background i added to the "framework-res.apk" will be not shown in the settings.
Is there another way or another kind of doing this for stock roms user?
Or should i install CM9?

[Tutorial] Decompiling-Compiling-Editing APKs

Hello guys. I'm creating a thread with a simple tutorial of how to decompile, compile, edit apks. I've seen some threads about it, but all of them were very complicated to understand. It's a simple tutorial, not designed to really mess with apks, just to edit a bit, like swapping icons, images, etc. When I get some more time, I will also teach how to mess with some CM9 Theme Chooser APKs
First of all, what you are going to get with this?
1. Decompile APKs
2. Decompiling all files, so you will only get XML [easy to edit], images and SMALI files [in most cases]
You need to know...
1. Works only Windows [x86 or x64] [You can try on linux, but you will need to download other files of apktool. But the steps are almost the same]
2. Choose the .bat of your version. [x86 = 32 bits] [x64= 64 bits]
3. You need JRE
4. Attached, the most updated apktool.
Let's go...
STEP 1 - preparing
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. I've optimized the files to run at D:\apktool [Another partition]. So, extract the .7z, and make sure that there's a apktool folder at the ROOT of D:\ drive. If you want to put this folder at other place, please pay attention: open the Run [x??].bat on the notepad. If you want the folder at the C:\ drive, delete the "D:" line, and swap the directory to the one you choose. [Example: "C:\Users\....user name....\Desktop"] Just make sure you included the cd before the path. If you want the folder at other place on D:\ drive, just change the directory [Example: "D:\Desktop"], and again, with the "cd" command before the path.
STEP 2 - still preparing...
1. Get framework-res.apk from your ROM [if you are on a Samsung ROM, also get twframework]
2. Extract framework-res.apk here
3. Open the correct .bat of your Windows version
4. Run this command: "apktool if framework-res.apk" [if you are on a Samsung ROM, also do with the other framework]
STEP 3 - now decompiling
1. Now, put the apk you want to edit on your apktool folder.
2. Run this command: "apktool d APK-NAME.apk
3. You may get NO errors when it's done.
4. The out put folder is the folder of the decompiled apk.
STEP 4 - now compiling
1. Run this command: "apktool b APK-NAME" [without the .apk]
2. You may get NO errors when it's done.
3. The output APK is located on \[apktoolfolder]\APK-NAME\dist
STEP 5 - optimizing
1. Sign your APK with this
2. Zipalign your APK with this. You can also use zipalign scripts on your ROM to zipalign.
3. Now you may install your apk normally. [user app or system app]
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________________________________________
TIPS
1. You can edit .smali files with Notepad ++
2. You can also edit XML files on the Notepad [Windows notepad. I think that with Notepad ++ also works]
3. Soon, I'm going to teach how to edit CM9 Theme Choose APKs. You will be able to: theme non-themed apps, and replace images.
4. I tried to be the most clear and direct as possible. If something is unclear, tell me now. If you have any suggestions to make the tutorial better, please tell me...

First: Great Job
Second 2 Questions.
Is it not easyer to editing in .java (with dex2jar tool) then in smali?
For beginners is it not a little bit easyer to use "Apk One Click" for de- and recompile .apk (include the dex2jar Tool) ?

Thanks. When you decompile, it will turn a lot of files into .smali files. Those smali files are very easy to modify on Notepad++. But I'm going to study more about dex2jar.

[Guide][MOD] Make your own multi-dpi stock dialer

How to create a dialer for stock Samsung roms:
Requirements:
- Modded APKTool for ICS
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558171)
- Java JDK
- Windows 7 (I used it in a VM)
- A rooted phone
- Root Explorer
- Notepad++
- 7zip
Setting up:
- Install Java JDK, once that is done extract the contents of APK tools. Place them as close to the root folder as possible, I had them in C:\Android.
- Go to your phone, open up Root Explorer and navigate to /System/Framework and copy framework-res.apk to your SD Card
- Plug your phone in via mass storage mode/mtp and pull the app to the folder you created earlier (C:\Android).
- Open up CMD (command prompt) and type the following:
cd..
cd..
cd Android/
Making sure you use the ".."!
Next type the following command:
apktool if framework-res.apk
This will not decompile the framework-res apk, it is installing the current framework of your rom as they're all different. You will need to repeat this step every time you flash a new rom.
- Back on your phone, navigate to /System/app and copy Contacts.app to your SD Card
- Plug your phone in again and move it to the folder (C:\Android)
Decompiling:
Open terminal up again and type the following:
apktool d Contacts.apk
I'm guessing the d stands for decompile :good:
Editing:
Seeing as we're only editing XML's this isn't going to be that hard, I learnt how to do this in about 10 minutes. In the root folder you should now see a folder called "Contacts". Open that and navigate to /res/layout/ and scroller down to D. There will be several XML's starting with the word dialpad- we want all of those. Open those up in Notepad++.
The Maths:
You'll notice most of the figures are measured in DIP, this stands for density independent pixels, so we need to work out how much to multiply the values by so they look the same on your chosen DPI.
Take the stock density that the dialer works correctly at - 240dpi and divide it by your new density (for me it was 180).
240 / 180 = 1.3
The tedious bit:
Unfortunately you need to change every figure in the XML's starting with the word dialpad, this took me about and hour to do this but it was well worth it. This includes values not ending in DIP such as pp and px. To work out the new figure you need to do the following:
Take the value in the XML, for example 50
Multiply it by the value you got from dividing the old density by the new, mine was 1.3 to get the new value
50 * 1.3 = 65
*EVERY VALUE IN THESE XML's NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!*
Several hours later....:
Once you've done that we need to recompile everything.
- Open up CMD again and type in apktool b Contacts ContactsNew.apk
The b might stand for build, I have no idea, but depending on the speed of your computer/laptop this may take a few seconds/minutes. It took my macbook around 15 seconds to do it. You may get some small error messages, you can also use this to find any problems you made whilst editing.
Assuming it all went well you will see the new apk underneath your old one in the root folder. We can't use this as it doesn't have the proper signature that is needed for it to work. Therefore we will use 7zip to take the new files and drop them into the old apk.
- Open up 7zip and locate ContactsNew.apk (the one we just recompiled)
- Navigate to res/layout/ and drag all the files starting with dialler to a safe location, such as the desktop
- Go back to and open up Contacts.apk (the old one you pulled from your phone)
- Navigate to res/layout/ and drop all the files you just removed in here
- Close down everything as we don't really need it anymore
Installing:
Copy Contacts.apk to your SD Card overwriting the old one if it's still there and disconnect your phone safely. Open up root explorer and navigate to your SD card, copy Contacts.apk to /System/
*DO NOT COPY IT INTO SYSTEM/APP JUST YET*
Long press the apk and select permissions, they need to look like this:
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once you've done that long press and move it to /System/app overwriting the old one.
Reboot!
The dialer should now be the correct size, hoped this helped!

Awesome
Thank You very much,
Would u please be kind enough to make S3 dailer for S2? (because I'm a noob)

thanks to share this !
As you says, changing every dpi values is a big job, so I mad a little tool to do it :
http://www.mediafire.com/?39olh233z2gj9n2
It's a Windows application that take all xml file of a directory and change all xml values with 'px' at the end and change the value using a given ration. Two checkbox options : replace existing files (or create new ones in a 'Done' subdirectory) and subdirectory (recursive dir process).
If it can be useful for someone ...

dont work, u can send themodified file? for example 200 dpi whathever

Video Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V-Ukles6w0
1 - Download and extract Framework Toolkit, then place your framework-res.apk inside [place-apk-here-for-modding] folder.
2 - Run Apk-Multi-Tool.bat as administrator, press any key to enter options menu, then use option (9) to decompile the apk
3 - Head to [projects] folder > res
4 -
a) Enabling USB Mass Storage:
- Now you are in [res] folder, go to [xml] folder, open [storage_list.xml] with an xml editor
- The 4th line looks like this:
Code:
<storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard0" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="true" android:removable="true" android:maxFileSize="4096" />
Replace it with the following line:
Code:
<storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard0" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="true" android:removable="true" android:allowMassStorage="true" android:maxFileSize="4096" />
- Save and go back to [res] folder
b) Enabling On-screen Buttons:
- Now you are in [res] folder, go to [values] folder
- Open bools.xml and look for the following line:
Code:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR=Red]false[/COLOR]</bool>
Replace false with true, the new line should look like this:
Code:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR=Green]true[/COLOR]</bool>
;; ;; Now navigation bar is enabled, we can change the bar size by editing [dimens.xml] in the same folder ;; ;;
- To do so, edit lines 14 and 16, set the dip to whatever you like
Example (17 dip):
14. <dimen name="navigation_bar_height">17.0dip</dimen>
15. <dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">48.0dip</dimen>
16. <dimen name="navigation_bar_width">17.0dip</dimen>

5 - Save and exit, go back to main folder, re-open Apk-Multi-Tool.bat, this time use option 11 to compile the edited apk
6 - After it's done compiling it will ask you if you want to add some more files, reply with n
7 - Close Apk-Multi-Tool, run Create_zip.bat as administrator, read on-screen instructions it's very simple
8 - After it's done successfully you can collect your flash-able zip from [final-zip-here] folder
9 - Move the zip to your sd card and flash it via CWM Recovery, reboot, if you enabled USB Mass Storage make sure to change connection
method from MTP to Mass Storage in System Settings
10 - Use ##Cleanup.bat to cleanup all folders (Important if you want to use it again)
Important Do NOT use this toolkit with any other apk, just framework apk

Just follow the video instructions (link in post) and you shouldn't face any problems, the steps include signing the APK and everything,
I use this script myself and no problems. If you have any further problems or questions just let me know, I'll be happy to help.
You can send me your framework-res.apk if you want me to mod it for you.

Well I've released an automated tool to do the job a while ago please check it out

if your ROM is odexed this won't work because the apk needs to be signed with the original build key. so this method only works for deodexed ROMs.
