I'm trying to do a little theming with the phone dialer & contacts so I thought I'd start out with some easier ones like the dialer & contacts Silhouettes (see screenshots).
BTW, what used to be SecPhone.apk is now system/priv-app/SecTeleservice.apk. The silhouette images are there and I can change them out but there is no change in the dialer and contacts (contacts.apk changed too btw).
Any of you brainy themers out there can help with this one?

How to remove Banner from incall screen:
(Examples in attached screenshots 3 & 4)
Change only the values in InCallUI.apk/res/values/colors.xml to match:
Code:
<color name="incall_call_banner_active_bg">#00000000</color>
<color name="incall_call_banner_disconnect_bg">#00000000</color>
<color name="incall_call_banner_incoming_bg">#00000000</color>
<color name="incall_call_banner_onhold_bg">#00000000</color>

Ahh yes, I'm importing a theme from a Note 3. The image sizes are very similarly sized and I've used this guys work before. It's pretty awesome if I can figure out the file differences. Our 4.4.2 is totally different than the other builds out there.
I think the file we need to deal with is called InCallUI.apk. I side-tracked a little though because I'm trying to repair the InCallUI file so it will fully recompile so I can try removing the call banner because that method is not working an longer either.

Yes I believe you are correct, InCallUI and SecTeleservice are the main APKs for phone/contacts now.
What do you mean by "removing the call banner"?

An example of the call banner is that large green banner at the top of the screenshots I posted for the in-call screen. It changes color depending on the call status but I hate it, want it gone and prefer the full screen display without it. If I get it working, I'll post a screenshot so you can see the difference.

looking right now brotha....On the S4 the Call Banner was in res-Values-Colors.xml and was incall_call_banner_in_call_background...which i always made Transparent
Sammy moved a TON of stuff around and has throw myself oiff a bit too lol.
Im just a little over halfway with my stuff, but still working on the COntacts and Dialer
GImme one sec, lemme see if i can track it down real quick
EDIT....YWait....are talking about the GReen in the SS? or the In cAll banner when your in an actual call? THere is a Banner for "In Call" and "End Call" which is in the Colors XML in the TeleService apk. THat will get rid of the Banner there, which i reall Dislike. If your trying to get rid of that Ugly green, thats an image

Interesting, some icons changed when I morphed incallui but still the silhouettes are the same. I'll have to go through the drawables and make sure the filenames are the same but I think they are.

i know how to REPAIR the InCallUI apk
Have you done that yet? You'll get the usuall "appt" errors, but it will recompile
HERE
Go To InCallUI>res>values-es>strings.xml
Then go to Line 544 and you'll see this: <string name="throttle_time_frame_subtext">"%1$d% del ciclo transcurrido.
Remove the last Percent sign from this "%1$d%" and make it this "%1$d"
InCallUI will now Recompile..You'll get the usual "appt" errors but it will be fine.

I only use the term 'Morph' as an acronym. I really do use VRTheme. The real Morph template does not play well with TWRP but seems to be ok in Philz but I stopped using it because of that.
Alright, looks like I found all the images for the silhouettes are new filenames in the callui file. I think I better resize all of them to make sure they are happy as well. That's going to take me a little while... I'll report back in later.

I gotcha. I'm gonna be home in an hour or so. If you want, you csn DL one of themes from the sprint S4 for a reference if you'd like. I gotta do this all myself today, so I'm gonna take it in a bit. There is a Contacts apk, just can't remember the correct file name off hand, but the contact photo will definately be there.

Great the avatar icons are killing me (the ones for the contacts/call logs/favorites). The only ones I can find are in SecSettings believe it or not but replacing them does not help.
Plus, I need a fresh set of eyes.
I posted a little guide on the OP to remove the banner from the call screens.
It is different than previous versions btw.

Hey thanks for doing that for me. It looks a lot different then I was picturing in my mind lol. They don't look like bubbles anymore. Don't want to be a bother but I have no idea how to theme or anything anyway you can make it more of a grey background? And have the conversation list just plain white without that design?

lol yeah, i'm afraid true bubbles (ala iphone) would require a complete rewrite due to the way google coded the backgrounds as attached to each text message foreground instead of having one single background. I'll see what i can do- shouldn't take long (I'm bored at work lol)

The way your other one was was great with that little indent going into the pic. Or maybe a white background with a light grey incoming and light blue outgoing. Similar to the imessage bubble colors on iOS. And if you could do the stock green icon too. Haha again sorry to be a bother

Yeah these 2 look tacky (maybe not the right word) in my eyes compared to your other post with the colors. No offense please maybe its just in my mind. And obv not complaining over your hard work.

You can extract it from any rom you need. Download, unzip, and it's in /system/app/mms.apk.
ps. and don't worry about it- I suck at aesthetics. Was it just the texture you like about the other?

Sure, no problem-I'll throw it together when I get back to my laptop tomorrow morning and post as an alternative. If like to add a black and blue version as well if time allows in the morning.

OP updated with alternate version.
Update: 3/13/13 More thanks go out to the people that were able to get this done. I was able to get a flashable zip with more of bleached45's images working.
I know many people (including myself) are missing the black status bar mod from ICS. After a collaborating with other people I was able to figure something out.
By the way you don't need my permission to do anything with this zip (haha). All I ask is that you please thank me (always wanted to be thanked) and give me any critical advice to theming you have (trying to learn the right way).
To Install: (You must be on ZVB Deodexed to use!)
1.Flash the attached zip
2.Wipe cache and dalvik
3.Reboot
3.Win MVP
I'm responsible for nothing that happens to your phone (always wanted to say that). If your qualcomm enhanced location service force closes, Wipe your cache between the reboot. Otherwise just go to settings/wireless networks/more.../mobile networks/connections optimizer. Accept the terms and uncheck the box. The service is annoying anyway.
Issues:
The edit quick toggle button looks kind of weird :-/
There is a very small line inbetween the quick toggles and the date bar
Thank These People!
AdriVelasquez for the Deodexed Rom
B-Reezy for our original LG port of the black mod
bleached45 - Original theme creater and source of the files, and the flashable zip base
Lrod0175 - Provided the status bar with the cool blue bottom and was very helpful with feedback
pcrhckyman - Pointed me in the right direction for source of files
Kobe Bryant - For having the heart of a champion
Re: [MOD][JellyBean] Black Status Bar (Work-In-Progress)
Cool, I thanked you by the way
Edit: the reason you have the white edges is because that's a .9 image and you cannot color the whole image, you have to color the image inside the dots or lines in the edges, those are the ones that allow the image to stretch. You also need to decompile the app to see the points and lines of the .9 images other wise they will show as a regular PNG.

Hey, I have a JB version out for the ATT variant, I believe you can get the files out of my mod and copy them into yours.
I would offer more help but have class in a few minutes and don't have my computer.
I recompiled the .9.pngs and I believe the file names are the same.
What the files are called I don't remember off the top of my head.
Just copy/paste any pure black images from my mod and the bottom slider (the two pngs with the 3 horizontal bars) and the quick settings edit buttons.
It is mostly just eyeballing what file looks like what part of the UI.
I can't promise it will work, but it should.
HERE is my thread. All 4 JB versions have the same image files, so it shouldn't matter which one you grab.

Thank you for everything. I used your indi_noti_btn_edit_normal.9 and indi_noti_btn_edit_pressed.9 files in drawable-xhdpi and it appears they are not stretched the same for our phones. I attached a screen. I'm reading how to edit .9 pngs but I haven't had any luck. If you could drop a few words of wisdom I would appreciate it. Specifically, I see the original dots of the png. I'm assuming I erase those in the photo editor and resize the image, then use draw9patch and put new dots in the same place? And if I see a black border on the side of the grey image, can I assume they stretched the entire side of the png? Thanks for everything and sorry to take your time from school, I'm in school as well.

Good luck! Start with simple stuff, like changing status bar icons and go from there.
I would love to see a Black Status Bar similar to the one b-reezy posted for ICS or the other JB Status Bar but without the changed icons.

Try apkmultitoolhttp://apkmultitool.com/ I've been using it a long time now and it has worked good, make sure u install android 4.1.2 framework-res.apk, you can also use your phone framework, you can do it from the set up script, it will pull your phone frameworks for u.

Very curious..what did you do to rid the white background? voicemail icon seems streched there, and underneath the icons you have extra buttons that dont belong there, also dialer have layout that dont belong, can you please send your seccontacts.apk so I can solve this once and for all.
Darn this SecContacts is pain in the butt.
Yeah you guys supposed to have that voicemail button, we have the videocall button there.

Voicemail icon isn't the problem for me...it's the white backgorund on Dialer and contacts...Here's an example of the dialer screen.........Other than that everything else is fine...:good:

Hey, I'm at work right now so don't have much time but I'll get in touch with you when I get off. As far as the background it's different for the rom I'm using(Wicked) because he's calling on his own image for that background which is named evil.png. There is one in the contacts app and the dialer app. I know the voice mail icon is stretched. It's an icon I pulled from your contacts theme but didn't have time to resize it. That screen shot was all I was able to manage in the 45 minutes I had to spend on it. I'm going to open up a stock rom and see if I can't help you figure out the white background issue. I'll send you a pm when I get off of work to see if your around and hopefully we can get this solved. If you need someone to help you manage the T-Mobile version I'd be more than happy to, with all credit going to you of course. I know how hard it can be to get a theme to be compatible across several devices. Totally your call. Talk to you soon.

Thanks, no I will credit YOU in my thread update if you solve this, if we can find what is causing it, I simply include it to my next update, that means if you find the location of the white causing png, then I simply theme it to dark and it should overwrite it with the users experiencing problems. And yeah I was thinking maybe it is in calling apk itself, thou it wont make any sense that users with the problem dont have white background and then flashing my SecContacts.apk causes them to have a white background even there is no png's there to cause this, and morhphing do not overwrite non themed png's whats already inside apk, so this is a headache big time. Once it's solved, I will theme the rest of the icons, like onehands dialer icons, solved the missing "1" button dialer problem with some users already.

The bg for the contacts in the US versions is controlled in xmls. The names of the xmls are dialpad_fragment_xxx.xml found in the SecContacts\res\layout-sw359dp-xxhdpi folder. There's going to be a few of them, each carrier has there own. I would suggest just doing all of them. The bg will be in the first line and if you go down a few lines you'll also find the line to change the text color of the input numbers (the numbers when dialing). You'll want to change those too since by default I think they're black. If you want you're custom bg to show from the framework, then you'll want to change the alpha of the bg to 00.

So it is... but how do you explain that before they flash my SecContacts.apk, they have black bg? but yet so far no xml's are in my themed SecContacts.apk or anything that would change the bg color, only png files, nothing more yet. What changes the bg color when original xml's and rest of the non themed png's remain inside original apk and only the png's I themed are being replaced.

Because the international contacts is different then ours. If US users flash your theme over other roms or themes that already have it black or any other color, then they would also not see the white bg, but if they flash this zip which is a vrtheme and only contains the pngs on a unthemed rom, then they will have the white bg.
For example - If users flash this zip over wicked, they will see the bg that the rom uses since the bg and the xml are changed in that rom. And if someone was to flash this over my theme which has our contacts inverted, then they also wouldn't see any white.

What I just learned is that users experiencing white BG is simply because them contacts app is "light" not "dark" therefor my unthemed "tw_background_holo_light.png" from framework-res "drawable-nodpi and drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi" keeps them app white, but users with "dark" SecContacs.apk have everything ok, because the SecContacts chooses the dark wallpaper. but the problem is that most likely light app have black text, in this case SecContacts, so font color needs to be edited from xml to be black, and searchbox in contacts also, I don't know yet if searchbox there is png or is it controlled from XML.
Well would ya look at that, guess I'm late to the party! Here I thought I was the only one looking for that illusive white incall dialer screen when you pull up the dial pad. (Say that three times fast!)

Deviant Development has done it again. I have decided it was time for some themed Dialers for the Note3. I will make more dialers and update the thread as time permits. I can only guarantee they will work on Wicked's US variant rom but I'm sure they will work on other rom's as well. Evil and I would appreciate the support and will do what we can to bring you more themes and diversity to your Note3
Requirements:
1. Enjoy
2. The thanks button is your friend, if you use my work leave thanks!
How to Install:
1. Download dialer zip
2. Flash in recovery
3. Reboot
4. Optional:
If you are on the Wicked themed rom, flash the dialer of choice then flash the framework from HERE
(Flash dialer and framework without reboot)
4.b. Option 2:
If you are coming from a stock themed rom flash the dialer of choice then flash the framework from HERE
(Flash dialer and framework without reboot)
5. ENJOY!!!
Remember I am not responsible for user error and or broken devices, donations are appreciated but not necessary.

Hi, since you are an excellent themer I was wondering if you can fix the dialer/numeric keypad for my
new phone.
I have used your themed keyboards for a long time now and they always looked great and worked perfectly.
Two days ago I got a Note 3, before that I was using the Galaxy S4 and this dialer/numeric keypad below.
With the S4 it had no issues at all, but now as you can see the bottom 3 rows of those nicely themed buttons
are not fully displayed on the screen, the entire keypad/numeric dialer needs to be moved up about an 1/8th
of an inch so all the buttons are fully displayed.
If you decide that you can help me out and fix it for me I can send you links to either the SecPhone.apk and
or the SecContacts.apk or both which you would need if you decided that you can fix them for me.
Everything else in the contacts & in the dialer/numeric keypad screens are working 100%
perfectly and needs no modifications or changes in them.
Here is a screenshot so you can see what I am trying to explain:
I really would appreciate this a lot if you can do it.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Thanks!

Is that screen from your s4 or note3? If it's the s4, there is a chance the pngs are just a little too big. On the note tho, it should be fine.
As far as which file, it should be just the secphone.

How does the saying go.....Snooze You Lose? Man! So now what say I just give them to you or something and just post them in here? Makes sense anyway to just have a 1 stop DEVIANT DIALER STOP. But it's your thread so just let me know.
If I am on stock rooted, can I just push this and change permissions and reboot for it to work? Or it wont work since its deoxded.

Only 1 way to find out! Just make sure and rename your original seccontacts to seccontacts.bak the push away and fix permissions and reboot... can always put the other back if it don't work.

That screenshot is of the Note 3, on the S4 the dialpad fit perfectly
and the width of it was exactly perfect too.
I would not even mind if there was a slight black horizontal space
between the bottom of the dialpad and the bottom of the screen.
If the png's were made smaller it would also effect the width of
the dialer's buttons which would not fill the screen side to side
and not look very nice.

I really don't know the name of it, it's part of a lot of mods
in @dannyben's "dbMods 5.2 Misc Installer" (Aroma).
His thread located in the "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps"
forum and his thread is called: "Aroma Installer Misc Mods v5.2.1".
There are a lot of themes, mods and addons in his installer to choose from.
That's where I got this dialer/contacts/callerID combo themed screens.
All three of those screens are a matching set.
Here are the three screenshots of all three screens in the set.
By the way, don't get any ideas about calling Penny, that # is "J.C.Penny" department store's
recorded answering services & the picture is a random photo which I found on the internet.
I just use that phone number for testing purposes.
