Updated version for the themes: Version 2
- Changed lowest brightness to even lower values. From a scale of 0-255 i changed 33 to 25. It seems to be quite good.
- Changed highest brightness to higher value. Instead of 253 i made it 255
- Removed "phone options" when holding the power button. So all menu options now fit without scrolling.
- Changed AOSP behaviour. Normal lockscreen is AOSP, but when you have a message or missed phonecall, you will see the Epic lockscreen.
-- Added for green theme is transparent stuff

What is in it ?
MMS hacked for sent time / no sms limit
LogsProvider hacked to not see SMS entrys into the phonelog
Phone hacked to use the flip to silent and non increasing ringtone (you do need to disable status tones or you will get a fc when connected, this bug is something to sort out later)

What to choose ?
Use the full framework version, it's the most stable and supported one
How to install ?
Put the file on the SD card and flash with CMW
Requirements ?
You need to have a deodexed ROM. It seems to work on JPY, JP3 or JP5, JP8. But should work on other versions. XXJP5 maybe has a issue.
Todo:
- Investigate how to install in a non-deodexed ROM
- Make tekst fit in dropdown menu
- Other stuff being reported here
Version history:
0.81 small package with only needed files
0.82 is basically 0.81 with added framework files
0.91 Pressing home button on lockscreens is now disabled
0.91 Shutdown menu now fits (no need to scroll anymore) (big thanx to bitblaster)
1.0 has added the pulldownmenu non-transparent (big thanx to dhiru1602)
Special thanx to Darkyy and R64 for helping me out
Also thanx to all others that have helped me to create this theme.

Waiting for Screenshots!

I'm also interested on this

Hi Guys,
I was looking around and did not find find the theme i was looking for.
What exactly did i want ?
Run a rom with only minor changes like the 4Lockscreen and Extended Settings.
Shutdown menu with the option to go to recovery and downloadmode.
Only the usage of stock icons. So no changes in color !!
Beceause i am fairly new to scripting, i just borrowed some scripts from other themes and changed them like i wanted.
I actually used some frameworkstuff from Darkyy and added the default icons back.
The first result is not the endproduct but for now something i can live with.
I will release the CMW file soon, so keep an eye on this topic...
For now it is based on JS5....

Brutus hi
Here is a power menu and lockscreens mod on stock(deodexed).
http://www.multiupload.com/4PQFLJYPAK
I made this a while ago, based on js2 (should work on jpy and later - deodexed), you can use it as template.
It’s untested!! So use it at your own risk, backup and everyhing.
if there is any problem, let me know and i'll fix it.

Love the idea!
When it's complete, ask to get it added to the kitchen!
One request, would you be able to make edited versions of the dialer to support different pixel densities?

Can't wait for this i love being on darkys but i hate the status bar being entirely black, ruins wallpaper blending

Updated first post
I am investigating the 5 lockscreen. That looks really cool.
- Currently i am decrypting the stock apk files. So i can add just the unlock screen option, without the color changes and added/altered names. Have "real" stock menu's etc.
Only problem now is that i need to sign the apk file if i want to encrypt it again, and because it is a official stock Samsung apk,do i need the real certificate ?
All modifications on the apk files is done, i need to test them out now.
Next version will NOT be based on any existing theme, but on the stock files of JS5

Thanks a lot man! Hope you can upload it with 5 lockscreens soon

[Q] Can use apktool for Settings and framewok-res.apk on Froyo?

I wanted to make Froyo of our language version.
Settings.apk and Framework-res.apk　was going to Decode or Build by using Apktool.
They ended with a large amount of error (declared here is not defined.) and (Unknown Source) when I tried to make the apk file.
Moreover, the build was not able to be done even though anything did not change after Decode the Apk file.
someone knows the method of changing them by using Windows Apktool v1.3.2 or other tool ?

I completely decoding/encoding framework-res.apk, settings.apk, blurcontact.apk, and some useful package, and translated on my language. all work great.
To correct decoding/encoding, you need add framework into apktool.
download /system/framework/moto-res.apk and /system/framework/blur-res.apk to PC, then do
apktool if /path/moto-res.apk
apktool if /path/blur-res.apk
then decode/encode, work fine. it can say "no default string" for some apk, but it's not a problem.
all work for me.
also you can try add /system/framework/framework-res.apk, but this framework included in apktool, from the box.
after decode\ i add my locale and translate string.xml with ailocalizer 1.5. (then delete other file in local folder, check some local folder, to see what file needed)
then compile apk, with apktool
open \dist\*.apk with 7zip, and extract *.arsc
copy this new translated *.arsc, into original apk pakage (open in 7zip) with rewrite.
no need sign.
just replace old apk in phone, with this new one. copy into /system, give permission 644 (rw-r--r--), and move this file, with overwriting on original file folder.
i don't delete any odex, i don't use "store" compression, and all work great for me.

Thank you for your reply.
I tried according to your advice.
pull 3 frame apk install my computer
and decode Settings.apk
　I: Loading resource table...
　W: Skipping "android" package group
　I: Decoding resources...
　I: Loading resource table from file: C:\apktool\framework\1.apk
　I: Copying assets and libs...
Then make /res/values-** folder and copy other lungage string.xml to in it.and then translate string.xml with ailocalizer.
So far, there is no any problem. Thank you
But (compile apk, with apktool) can not compile.....also with a large amount of error (declared here is not defined.) and (Unknown Source) .
Something wrong?

you can add locale, directly from localizer, pres + button, and enter you locale.
also in you locale folder, need to be all xml, like other locale folder, see fr folder, for example.
btw, don't you forget, delete bak file, after editing xml?

also changed arrays.xml and delete .bak file.
Furthermore, apk After decoding, the same error occurs when I build without some modification....
you use apktool on linux ?
BTW ailocalizer's auto translation isn't function work ?
(Error reading JObject from JsonReader. Current JsonReader item is not an object: Start Array)

s_pippen33, don't touch array.xml. Translate Only STRING.xml and try compile.
some error is normal, if this error is "no default string".
auto translate don't work.

[THEMED APPS] Operation: White on Black - Removing ICS Blue One App at a Time

My Mission: Replace ICS blue with white wherever possible. This includes icons and text.
Thank to:
Nitroz for his awesome Black Exodus theme which is the inspiration for these apps
artvandelay440 because he is awesome!
Most Recent Update: *Feb 19* Figured out my compiling problems, but I now have a new problem installing system apps. Either way, I have modified and posted Calculator.apk. Calendar is being worked on, but there is more ICS blue to remove than I thought.
Themed Apps:
Settings
Mms
Calculator
Calendar (will be posted very soon)
Apps To Be Themed:
Phone
Nova launcher (Including nova settings and app drawer)
Genie Widget (news and weather)
Keyboard
...Possibly more apps (make a request if you want, but no guarantees)
Install Instructions: Simply adb push any apk to /System/app/ (make sure to read any special instructions for specific apps)
APP: Settings.apk
WHAT'S NEW: Changed settings icon from black/ICS blue to all white. Changed icon that appears in app drawer.
PICS: http://i.imgur.com/U7yuo.png
LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?aq214os8zz98q6c
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: None
APP: Mms.apk (Text Messaging APP)
WHAT'S NEW: 100% White on black, no traces of gray that I can tell. Removed contact pics, removed border around messages, black/white icons, white notification icon. Changed app drawer icon.
PICS: http://imgur.com/a/B3scm
LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?daaqjim0223ap6s
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Flash using CWM. Thanks to Nitroz for the script.
APP: Calculator.apk
WHAT'S NEW: 100% White on black. White glow when button is pressed. Pretty sure this is themed completely.
PICS: http://i.imgur.com/QGIAA.png
LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?x7b46jd70nasde6
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Just put the apk somewhere on your SD card and install using root explorer or similar program.
ATTN: These apps were themed by pulling them from AOKP M3 and using the M3 framework/systemui. Installing these apps (specifically settings) on any other ROM MAY give you errors, but I'm not sure. Still kind of a noob.
ENJOY THE APPS AND STAY TUNED FOR MORE!

Reserved for future use

Bump for Mms and Settings updates. Pretty sure they are both final, but I will update if/when new versions come out.

pm me your log from the calculator recompile errors, and i'll try to help out.

Thank you. I just left the house so I can't post it
When I tried recompiling it threw a "invalid resource directory name" for all the drawable* folders. Man, apkmulti tool really has a problem with images or something. Even though I only modified 2 .PNG files (the same way I modified mms.apk), all the folders that contain PNG threw errors.

Give this a look whenever you get a chance. This is from trying to recompile SystemUI.apk, but it gives me the exact same errors as recompiling the calculator. Thanks!

Lol. To be honest I did notice that, but I don't understand why that happens. What's the convention on forward/back slash? Is it window's fault? I obviously never explicitly entered in the wrong slash. Any ideas how that is possible?

Huzzah! I have figured out my compile errors! I had a really outdated version of aapt.exe in my windows directory
I can finally get back to theming!
Expect at least two themed apps tomorrow, probably calculator and calendar. But I have some system.ui mods I want to try out first.

BUMP for Calculator.apk
Calendar coming soon!

this is the 4.0.4 version stock (all white)
i dont know if there are differences but at least the version number is higher

Hi ALL,
Im looking for the same black and white MMS apk for my galaxy S2 running 4.0.3 with WanamLite.Stock.IML.74K.XXLPB.
Can any one port an apk for the same.
Thanks!!!!

My Mission: Replace ICS blue with white wherever possible. This includes icons and text.
Thank to:
Nitroz for his awesome Black Exodus theme which is the inspiration for these apps
artvandelay440 because he is awesome!
Most Recent Update: *Feb 19* Figured out my compiling problems, but I now have a new problem installing system apps. Either way, I have modified and posted Calculator.apk. Calendar is being worked on, but there is more ICS blue to remove than I thought.
Themed Apps:
Settings
Mms
Calculator
Calendar (will be posted very soon)
Apps To Be Themed:
Phone
Nova launcher (Including nova settings and app drawer)
Genie Widget (news and weather)
Keyboard
...Possibly more apps (make a request if you want, but no guarantees)
Install Instructions: Simply adb push any apk to /System/app/ (make sure to read any special instructions for specific apps)
APP: Settings.apk
WHAT'S NEW: Changed settings icon from black/ICS blue to all white. Changed icon that appears in app drawer.
PICS: http://i.imgur.com/U7yuo.png
LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?aq214os8zz98q6c
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: None
APP: Mms.apk (Text Messaging APP)
WHAT'S NEW: 100% White on black, no traces of gray that I can tell. Removed contact pics, removed border around messages, black/white icons, white notification icon. Changed app drawer icon.
PICS: http://imgur.com/a/B3scm
LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?daaqjim0223ap6s
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Flash using CWM. Thanks to Nitroz for the script.
APP: Calculator.apk
WHAT'S NEW: 100% White on black. White glow when button is pressed. Pretty sure this is themed completely.
PICS: http://i.imgur.com/QGIAA.png
LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?x7b46jd70nasde6
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Just put the apk somewhere on your SD card and install using root explorer or similar program.
ATTN: These apps were themed by pulling them from AOKP M3 and using the M3 framework/systemui. Installing these apps (specifically settings) on any other ROM MAY give you errors, but I'm not sure. Still kind of a noob.
ENJOY THE APPS AND STAY TUNED FOR MORE!

Can you explain me how did you change the colors? I need it for my rom for galaxy s plus. What files did you mod? Sorry for my bad english :silly:

[GUIDE] How to use APKTOOL

I've seen many users inquiring about how to decompile apps. Although there are many threads on this, still users don't search. So i decided to create this guide as our GT-S5360 forum didn't have one. I learnt this from v6ser's tut about 5-6 months ago, so i would like to thank him before starting this guide. Please PM me guys if I've missed something or written something wrong!
What is decompiling?
Android apps are BASICALLY made up of Java codes and XML files. After compiling the app, these files cannot be viewed. Decompiling is a process which decompiles the binary form of XMLs and .Java files into readable form. The XML files can be retained as it is, but the .java files are converted into smali files, a totally different language.
What is recompiling?
Recompiling is simply a way to convert the XML and smali files back into the binary form and building up of the APK with the changes made. All apps after recompiled have to be signed (except system apps).
Let's start!
Things needed :-
JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
Windows - Download apktool
Download apktool-install-windows
Place both apktool files in C:\Windows\"HERE"
First off, you need to install the framework.
The three apks needed :-
framework-res.apk (location : /system/framework)
SystemUI.apk (location : /system/app)
twframework-res.apk (location : /system/framework)
Go to Command Prompt, and type :-
Code:
apktool if {framework's folder/location}
Example in the image here :-
{
"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"
}
Repeat the same step for SystemUI.apk and twframework-res.apk too, besides framework-res.apk
These will be saved here - C:\Users\your_user_name\apktool\"HERE"
Next step, is the decompiling.
Code:
apktool d C:\filename.apk C:\folder_of_the_decompiled_files
Example in the image here :-
Now, you can view the XML and smali files. I would recommend Notepad++ to edit them.
After making your changes, you're gonna need to recompile so that the files are again in the apk form.
Next step, recompiling.
Code:
apktool b C:\folder_of_the_decompiled_files C:\newfilename.apk
(You can use other directories too, I've just used C:\ as an example)
Example in the image here :-
Now, final step is signing the apk file.
Remember don't sign the apk if it's a SYSTEM app, unless you have edited the AndroidManifest.xml.
Signing.
Download the zip file here :- http://www.mediafire.com/?gs6n10oh09c039n
Extract the files in a folder named "SignApk", in any convienient location. (I preferred C:\)
Example of the code in image here :-
That's it! I hope this guide helps a lot of newbies and other users out there!

Thx a lot for the tutorial mate! It's really helpful!
1 question! : If I want to edit the framework( I get it from another mod, so it's not my stock framework). Do I need to install the framework every time I want to mod a framework that I just get?
Thx a lot man!

A framework-res.apk is itself the source of other apks( when you install it - apktool if...). So the message that you got is normal.

Most probably, the changes that you made are not correct. That's why you got a problem while recompiling.
If you did no changes after decompiling, but still got a problem with recompiling, then try installing the framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and twframework-res.apk again and then try.

Last time I use jBart 2.0.0a it didn't download translation files from bitbucket repository (Italian language use this server). You need to download file manually from https://bitbucket.org/Mish/miui_v5_italy/downloads. Then extract files in /Italian/* to <jBart-dir>/repositories/translation/. In jBart Setting uncheck redownload repository. Then recompile your rom.

There should be some error in your build. Maybe you should try to uncheck Download main repository in Settings tab. Please make sure your extracted files are still there in <jBart-dir>/repositories/translation/. These dir should look like
<jBart-dir>/repositories/translation/device
<jBart-dir>/repositories/translation/main
<jBart-dir>/repositories/translation/extras
I have tested it and it works on my phone. If it don't work may be you should look into jBart log.
