HOW DID YOU KNOW?! I literally just got apktool working and dove myself into the world of theming on the note 4. Used to do it on my s3 but those days were long gone. I wondered to myself if anything really changed between both frameworks and was a bit hesitant to replace certain files but thanks to this post i don't have to! Thank you so much for posting this at literally the perfect time! Keep up the amazing work man!
Edit: just a quick question - what is your process for resigning systemui, framwork-res? Before i used to just drag and replace the android manifest and meta-inf from the original framework after compiling the new one, using the latest apktool if it matters. just wondering if this would still work or if there's a faster method. thank you again!

Oh alright, I'll give vts a try! Does it automatically sign the app after compiling? Or do you have to do it manually? Made some changes already using apktool, just unsure how to sign it again. Thanks!

A few years back I had DarthStalker Rom on my Note 3 and the Keyboard was a dark grey and black...I LOVED it...and I have yet to find anything like it that i can use in the Note 4 TMOBILE LP 5.1.1. ..I love Abstract Rom...this has been the cleanest, fastest and overall best Rom I have ever used to date!
Going to give this a try on free time
Could you show me where I would go in the SystemUI to find the information to tweak my lockscreen??
Thanks!
I wonder if you could help me I have done some modding to the systemui but can't get the text colours to change in the drop down list I have tried changing the "TextAppearance.Material.Notification" lines in framework but no change I have been at this for a few weeks and still can't get it to change. As you can see in the picture it makes it a little hard to read. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Dave
I just started using Advenced Apktool by BDFreak. I'm using the Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0 MM rom on my TMo Note 4. So far I have changed the color of the Notification area header panel and the brightness slider. The other modifications in the screenshot were done with features included with the rom.
Also I changed the header in the Message app. Now I'm trying to change the color of the background on the Conversation List screen but I'm having no luck. In Colors.xml when I change the color of "conversation_list_background" it doesn't work. I tried a few other entries too but still nothing. Since this isn't related to SystemUI maybe I shouldn't ask here but this is the only place I found so far where I think someone might be able to help. If that's the case just let me know and I'll look elsewhere. No problem.
Update: I was able to change the color of one other screen in the app.

Can somebody port this to our device? I tried multiple times just using that MMS.apk on our device and it doesnt work. Maybe someone else can try and let me know how it goes.
EDIT: In my attemp of putting the apk in system/app folder, I am able to then restart the phone and the dark icon shows up but get an error when trying to open the app.

Since i've already been digging into the smali and xml edits i'll take a look at this.
It's difficult because the amount of code needed is ridiculous, however i'm sure we can decompile both this apk and our standard messaging one and compare the color edits and make the necessary changes.
Give me a bit and i'll probably have something up by tonight
he mentions something about having to dig into htc.com.resources.apk as well. Did you see where he said that? That would be cool if you could give it a try, would be nice to have the dark theme MMS as an option.

So apparently this is a lot harder than it looks. The mms applications are different however they both do call on the resources.apk for some of the color changes. I'm going to look into this further but it's not as easy as just editing the mms.apk
Some things change in the mms when you select different themes
id imagine if you just take the stock evo (from whatever build it was) resources and mms...decompile both and diff them against the modded ones its not too hard to find out
ill take a look at it next week if no one has by then
nitsuj17, whats up. Good seeing you in the inc2 threads. I used a bunch of your mods during my fascinate days.

It sounds like a great plan but looking at the differences between the evo and inc2 mms applications are like night and day. There are tons of code that's different between the two, not to mention the sense buttons on the inc2 are different than the ones on the EVO.
My worry about doing it that way is it may look all wonky and we may miss some edits but at least we have a good place to start
Sense has got to be the most difficult thing that i've run into to edit.
I can't even find the correct line of string to re enable the gingerbread crt "electron beam" animation on this phone.
i have an inverted sense 3.0 mms.apk i did if you guys want it.... i attatched it below for you guys it should work just fine let me know
Would be nice to try..... can you post the .apk, I want to see if it works on Laibo's 2.1/3.0 ROM
EDIT: nvm, couldnt see it from my phone but now see you posted the apk. Thanks.

wow. i actually like this theme. i understand why you'd like it ported over. i could possibly do it. i don't know much about the lockscreen settings that is incorporated into the theme, but i could prob port everything else. let me get with the dev and see if he wouldn't mind and/or could help me out if i ran into some issues
edit: alright i've sent original dev a PM so just waiting to hear back
lots of jar file edits but only 10 apks total. sounds pretty easy sauce to me
That is indeed one good looking theme
Indeed!! Love the theme. Hope it gets done. And hope its get's done without CRT or overscroll. Very annoying animations!
Yeah... nice looking indeed!
@mrvirginia - If you need any help I'm pretty familiar with editing apk's
The good, old GTX theme is something I'm wanting to port... Have sent a PM to the makers
Looks great but the branding on the notification tray sucks.

just gotta say though, i still haven't heard from original dev
thank you all for your interest to port this theme to all sgs2 users.
thk to mrvirginia to accept porting this theme you can visit the link to his thread.
I just spent a few hours trying (decompiling, extracting, etc), but I suck. I tried blacking out the .png and replacing it, but it doesn't look very good. I'm sure somebody out there hates contact pics as much as me
Anyone know of a way to remove the contact picture and set the text to the left side of the screen. Check out the pic if you don't understand. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your mods. Could you please explain the process by which you removed the 'ic_contact_picture.png' from both the message list and the conversation frame. I searched through my decompiled mms.apk but couldn't find anything. Obviously it's in there somewhere. If it isn't to hard or time consuming, please let me know how to do it manually. I really like the color scheme I have currently and would like to keep it exactly the way it is, minus the contact pics.
Thank you again for your effort.
EDIT: Here's the Mms.apk I'm using. Got it from the amazing 'Black Exodus' theme by Nitroz. Maybe someone can take a whack at it.

You need to make three edits. In order to maintain code dependencies across the app, i didn't actually remove the icon, i just made it 1px by 1px. This way, it's still invisible, but doesn't break support in other areas.
In
message_list_item_recv.xml
message_list_item_send.xml
conversation_list_item.xml
in the <RelativeLayout> view, look for the ID android:id="@id/avatar" (line 6 in the sent/recv, and line 4 in conversation xml)
You need to use the following attributes under each 'text' hiearchy:
Code:
android:layout_height="1px" android:layout_width="1px"
Once each of the three .xml files has these listed in the correct spots, recompile.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!! I will try this right now. I'm not a coding noob, but it would have taken HOURS for me to figure this out.
hopefully I will be able to recompile using apk-multitool. For some reason the recompiling part always throws errors. THANKS AGAIN
No problem. Post the log if you get compile errors.

I got it working perfectly, thanks again. Two quick questions though. I know you will be able to answer them.
1) How would I remove the borders around the sent and recieved messages? I included a screenshot.
EDIT: Damn, I have looked everywhere. I figured the easiest way to to do this would be to just change the color of the border to all black (#000000), but there are two different colored borders and I can't find anything referencing them in message_list_item_... or in colors.xml
2) When I push Mms.apk to system/app it does overwrite the previous apk, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. What I had to do to install my modded apk was to replace the Mms.apk in the flashable zip I use as a theme. Specifically black exodus. I'm sure there is a way to just quickly replace the Mms.apk without flashing. How do you do it?
Once I remove the borders I will upload the apk. I wouldn't care if you posted it in your thread. You don't even need to give me credit since you basically did everything .
Thanks again for ALL your help.
Remove borders:
in message send/recv xmls
in line 6ish i think, look for position="left_upper" and change to "left_middle". same thing for "right_upper" to "right_middle" in the other one.
-edit: as far as pushing mms, i don't use a theme, and i've always pushed system apps through adb. In theory, it should still work even with a theme applied, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't.

No it isn't necessary. For me, as soon as i push it through adb, it appears in the drawer and is ready to go. You might ask Nitroz as to why this isn't working with a theme overlay, since it's his theme.

Does anyone have these apk files, the download links are no longer working
Hi there, I would like to show you guys some of the work I've been doing in an attempt to make a theme for the 4.67 OTA. I'm currently using Nitrous 1.4.4 but the changes should work on any 4.67 base rom. As the title says I'm still in the very early stages, but I've hit a few roadblocks that I need to figure out before I go any further.
As of right now I have fully themed the status bar, and notification pull down via SystemUI, and 1% step circle battery mod thanks to the UOT Kitchen. I've moved into some of the other apks but I'm not ready to show my work just yet. I should state that my general direction for this project is a ICS-ish theme but I'm not striving to fool anyone here. I really loved the color scheme and the clean lines that ICS introduced and I'd like to bring that to us Sense Users (the rounded bubble style of sense just feels very... dated.)
Ok, here we go. BTW the divider lines are the same light blue color, but for some reason they are washed out on these screenshots, it looks so much better on the phone.

Here's my home screen, you like?
Quick settings tab, so far, so good.
Now, the problems. Most obviously my ongoing notifications all have black text. I was successfully able to change the font color for everything else after decompiling the SystemUI.apk except for ongoing notifications. Is this font color hidden in one of the xmls in the systemUI, or is it located elsewhere? For the notifications and quick settings I was able to change the font colors for all of those with just the colors.xml yet the ongoing notifications remain black and unreadable.
Next issue is the the background image for some of the icons. If found what looked exactly like this in SystemUI, just made it transparent but the icon background remains. Must be located somewhere else, or I just need to look again.
Then there is the tabs at the bottom, for starters the bg image on those is not the final product, I'm still experimenting with that one. However, first I would like to be able to 1: make a text smaller, I'm thinking 2 sizes. 2: Make it not bold.
Thoughts? Suggestions Comments? Questions? All are welcome but please be gentle, I'd love to hear what you guys think.
Would love to get this, hope you get the help you need.

Those icon bg/s are in the systemui.apk called status_bar_icons_tile.png the font style is designated in the status_bar_tracking.xml you can change the txt style if you want the actual font is the designated system font...

Thanks for you help Pneuma1985, I had the correct .png for the background image, I just forgot to replace it in my SystemUI.apk. Also thanks for that image, a little more refined then the simple black and blue diagonal I had before.
I'm glad you guys like what you see, I haven't had any time this past week to make more progress, but I'm hoping to get some done tonight and this weekend. Thanks for the support, I was a little nervous posting this since I haven't done anything before but I feel a little better now.
Anyone have any ideas how to change the font color of ongoing notifications from black to white?
There are a few very good guides on how to invert the drop down. If I find the link I'll post it for you. The theme looks cool so far, I kind of miss my Evo and making themes for it. It was so much easier then on my Evo 3D. Oh I have an ics theme for sense 1.0 around here if you want feel free to take any png's from it and if you have any questions you can pm me and I'll help you out if I know what your trying to do.

Thanks, I'll be in touch then. Is Photoshop a must? Will Gimp work? There's just no way I can afford Photoshop for a hobby. Thanks again.
EDIT: Well on first attempt the layers are not visible in Gimp for Windows, however I have a legacy version of Fireworks that seems to be able to work with those stencils. I guess I'm in luck, because this version of Fireworks is really old, Macromedia Fireworks 3... not CS3, just 3 - Circa 2000. I knew there was a reason I have that still.
Well I can not post you a link here but if you contact me I may be able to help you with photoshop...
I know nothing about theming but would LOVE to see a theme that makes the AOSP MMS look like the MMS on the One X. If anyone could do this or has a link to one that already works for our ATT GS3 I'd appreciate it!

Are you sure its from the One X? Maybe the messaging apk can be pulled. I'm trying to find these images myself.
Doubt that the HTC MMS app would work without the sense framework. Found some themes for the older Galaxy Nexus touchwiz MMS and one looks nearly identical to this one but it doesn't work. I'm all for theming the touchwiz MMS as I love the lock screen notifications and am not a fan of any of the aftermarket MMS apps.
Here's Something I've been tinkering around with an am currently using. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the blue from the HTC theme better aligned on the left side so if anyone can assist I'd greatly appreciate it. Anyway, these are all in a modified SecMms.apk which I'll upload if anyone's interested. I also added that white background as a choice.
P.S. Please be aware that this is a rough hack so maybe someone could help me clean up the file a little. I'm just an intermediate modder who just like to see modest theme options.
Extra Note: I had to rar the file in order to upload it due to the forum size limits for uploads. Just extract the apk.
Upload your SecMms.apk and I'll decode it and see if I can help correct the alignment.

Done.
Okay, here's what I'm thinking. You have a message_skin_bubble.xml and message_bubble_activity.xml under res/layout/. I'm not real familiar with Android system layout, but I would think one of these two, or both would control text layout in the bubble. There's a line in message_bubble_activity: "gallery_receive_vertical" android: paddingLeft="10.0dip"", try changing 10.0dip to... say, 12.0? And if that isn't it, try in message_skin_bubble, change "android:layout_marginLeft="9.0dip" />" to say 11.0dip?
I'm going on a limb from just glancing at it and not really sure if that's the controlling xmls. I'm having trouble rebuilding the apk or I'd test it myself. I'll see what I can do when I get home. :laugh:
Sounds good. Although, so far, I only changed the images by opening the .apk. I didn't decompile or recompile. I simply took images from other devices that I've owned or found on xda and swapped and renamed image files. They worked on all of them except for the blue htc bubble in the first image.

Well thinking more about it, if my suggestion did skew the text, which it may or may not, it will also skew the text in every bubble which we don't want... perhaps I can edit the original blue bubble image to allow the text to center.
That would be great. I tried doing it in Photoshop. I no PS expert but I'm ok so maybe there is something I'm missing. The png file would look fine and would save ok but the image would become stretched in the actual mms app.
is there anyway to add emoji support to it?
