[Q] [ADW]Theming help

I am trying to make my own ADW theme. Everything is set up correctly and I'm using Eclipse.
The problem I have is that I don't know how I should edit the xmls in /res/drawable without getting force close in Emulator when trying it out.
i.e. I edit home_arrows_left.xml from:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:maxLevel="0" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="1" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="2" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="3" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="4" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="5" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
<item android:maxLevel="6" android:drawable="@drawable/dot_big" />
</level-list>
to:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:maxLevel="0">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="1">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="2">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="3">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="4">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="5">dot</item>
<item android:maxLevel="6">dot</item>
</level-list>
And I create a file in drawable called dot.png
If I export+install with adb and select as ADW theme in emulator I get ADW force close when pressing home button.
I'm not a pro with XML but I could spend some time to learn more if someone just tells me what I need to know to create ADW themes.
Maybe I could use some tool to validate the XML?
The only problem I have is to edit the XML in the right way.

Just change all of the

to

Thank you for the help!
I have one more question.
How do I refer to images in drawable-hdpi/drawable-mdpi/drawable-ldpi depending on if they are hdpi/mdpi/ldpi?

I have tried to open some APK's but you can't see what's written in the XML files. Maybe someone could contribute with the source of an ADWTheme that have different images based on dpi?

You have to decompile an APK in order to view XML files as plain text. I suggest apkmanager 4.8 (I tried 4.9 and it wasn't compiling apks right for me.)
Once extracted, the tool will allow you to extract the contents of .apk's, and decompile them so you can edit the xml files. You will have to recompile and sign the .apk file once you decompile and edit it.

I extracted an apk from my device and turned it into a zip. I have viewed some XML's via AXMLPrinter2.jar but If I look what's written in android:drawable it says android:drawable="@7F020007". Thats not a path or a file so when it compiles the path changes. I shall see if the same thing happens with the program you told me about tomorrow.
Do you need to make different images for different dpi levels?

TSF Shell Theme [Instructional]

I found quite a few themes, but the original creators don't provide a guide, or leave you to decompile theirs which seems to cause issues with a rebuilt version. In light of this, I will provide a guide on the easy process of developing a theme for TSF Shell.
You will need Eclipse and all the usual Android app development stuff installed. This guide will not be covering that aspect.
Set up a basic app, you also need to include an empty activity. This part is not overly important.
AndroidManifest.xml
Your empty activity needs to specify that it is a theme
Code:
<intent-filter>
...
<action android:name="com.tsf.shell.themes" />
...
</intent-filter>
You will need an assets folder, which will be the base of your theme. It will include:
A subfolder named theme, with subfolders preview, widget, shell, and icon. These will be where the theme parts go.
PreviewDescription.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<theme>
<version value="1" />
<info date="CREATION_DATE" author="YOUR_NAME" name="THEME_NAME"/>
<preview frontcover="IMAGE_FOR_THEME_ICON">
<item image="PREVIEW_IMAGE" />
<item image="PREVIEW_IMAGE" />
<item image="PREVIEW_IMAGE" />
</preview>
</theme>
The capitalized words should be replaced by the file names of the files that will be placed in the preview folder. These file names can be whatever you like, as long as they match the values listed here.
The widget folder is somewhat specific. It contains a subfolder named "com.tsf.shell.widget.folder" with the files "widget_folder_bg.png", "widget_folder_front.png", and "widget_folder_icon.png" which should be replaced by the images you want for each of these items.
ThemeDesription.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<theme>
<version value="1" />
<icon-default scale="0.70" leftOffset="0" rightOffset="0"

The above is an excerpt from an existing theme to help you determine what goes where. The important parts are icon-default scale="0.70" which is the size of the original icon that will be placed within the "generic" background, which is specified by the item image values within the icon-default class. Everything surrounds the ThemeDescription, so if you want to change something, this is usually where.
Back to the icon and shell folders. This is where you will place images you want used for each app and the parts of the interface. How the theme will handle missing icons was covered by the theme description so don't worry if you don't have one for everything. These items should already have been specified by the ThemeDescription, so now it is just filling in the pictures.

This is a great guide! Thanks for this! I must say tfs shell is just great and some minor bugs but it can be solved with proper attention and spare time for decompile and recompile!

TUT SHARED BY OTHERS :
- HOW TO MOVE TOGGLES TO BOTTOM, HOW TO MOVE BATTERY ICON TO LEFT, HOW TO ADD AM/PM AT STATUS BAR. by @SuperDroid-BOND
- HOW TO ADD SCREENSHOT BUTTON IN STATUSBAR. by @remuntada78​​
1. Theme Tools that needed :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Apktool (download the Jar and aapt) [only for Windows] thanks to iBotPeaches for the tool.
- Android Utility [only for MAC/LINUX] thanks to tommytomatoe for the tool.
- Better Draw9Patch. (for editing .9patch png) thanks to AndroidGraphix for the tool.
- good .xml reader (i'd prefer Notepad ++).
- good image editor (i'd prefer GIMP).
- for color to html, go to this site (colorgenerator or colorhunter which is my reference for color
i dont know about Linux or Mac, so this TUT is just for Windows. But im sure the steps is just the same.
STEPS after download the tool (Apktool):
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- extract both downloaded zip file. (the Jar and aapt)
- you'll get 3 files ( aapt.exe, apktool.bat, and apktool.jar), place it together in one folder.
- go to Home Menu, search for "cmd", copy the cmd to the apktool folder.​
STEPS for installing:
1) pull your framework-res.apk (in system/framework)
2) pull SystemUI.apk (in system/app)
3) install them with the command
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Code:
apktool if SystemUI.apk
this will install the framework and the systemui for the current ROM.​
2. STEPS for making theme :
1) decompile SystemUI.apk with the command.
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk
2) then go to SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi/ (to edit the images)
be careful of the .9.png . Use the Better Draw9Patch tool for editing .9patch pngs.
these are the list of the png and where it will display :

6. HOW TO REARRANGE THE TOGGLE :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
before:
res/values
arrays.xml
Code:
<string-array name="QuickSettingButtonAttribute">
<item>Wifi</item>
<item><string-array name="QuickSettingButtonAttribute">
<item>Wifi</item>
<item>Location</item>
<item>SilentMode</item>
<item>AutoRotate</item>
<item>Bluetooth</item>
<item>MobileData</item>
<item>DormantMode</item>
<item>PowerSaving</item>
<item>AllShareCast</item>
<item>MultiWindow</item>
<item>Sync</item>
</string-array>
just arrange what ever you want it to be with replace the arrangement of that xml.
eg. you want to make the GPS toggle to the other side :
HTML:
<string-array name="QuickSettingButtonAttribute">
<item>Wifi</item>
<item>SilentMode</item>
<item>AutoRotate</item>
<item>Bluetooth</item>
<item>MobileData</item>
<item>DormantMode</item>
<item>PowerSaving</item>
<item>AllShareCast</item>
<item>MultiWindow</item>
<item>Location</item>
<item>Sync</item>
</string-array>
after :
thats it, then recompile! ​
7. HOW TO REMOVE THE BRIGHTNESS BAR :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
res/layouts
tw_status_bar_expanded.xml
find :
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/brightness_controller" android:background="#00000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="56.0dip">
replace the
Code:
android:layout_height="56.0dip"
with
Code:
android:layout_height="0.0dip"
recompile ​
8. HOW TO CHANGE STATUS BAR BACKGROUND :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
res/drawable-hdpi
this is the easiest way.
replace the notification_panel_bg.9.png with any of your preferred image with resolution of 480x800.
but before that dont forget to make all toggle background to be transparent.​well, these are several ways that you can make it done :
1) this is the step that i always use to make change the background.
- decompile the apk.
- go to the res/drawable-hdpi folder.
- find the notification_panel_bg.9.png.
- open it with any of your preferred photo editor.
- resize the image to 482x802 (so that the other 2x2 pixel will leave for .9patch).
- open the image that you want to make as background (copy it)
- paste it into the notification_panel_bg.9.png that you have resized.
- draw the whole 2x2 with black line #000000.
- save the image.
- recompile.​
2) this steps is much easier, but i dont recommend. sometimes it failed.
- decompile the apk.
- recompile the apk.
- go to build/apk/res/drawable-hdpi.
- find the notification_panel_bg.9.png
- replace with your preferred image. (but dont forget to name the image with the same name include .9)
- build the apk again.
- your finished apk will be in dist folder.​
3) this is the safest way i guess but always success.
- decompile the apk.
- go to res/layout folder.
- find tw_status_bar_expanded.xml
- in that xml, find android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg".
- change that notification_panel_bg with any name. example android:background="@drawable/mybackground".
- save the xml.
- then, go to res/drawable-hdpi folder.
- place your image named "mybackground".
- compile the apk.​
9. HOW TO MAKE THE BUTTON AND NOTIFICATION TRANSPARENT :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
res/layouts
tw_status_bar_expanded.xml
find :
all
Code:
android:background="#something"
in the xml the change the "#something" with "#00000000".
change ff value to (00 -> 100% transparency, 3f -> 75% transparency, 7f -> 50% transparency, bf -> 25% transparency)
The other value (1e1e1e) is RBG for grey color, if you want it black it will be (000000).
So:
#00000000 - black with 100% transparency
#3F000000 - black with 75% transparency
#7F000000 - black with 50% transparency
#BF000000 - black with 25% transparency
this post originally posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078585 by majdinj (hit thanks to him )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then go to SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone
PhoneStatusBar.smali
- find -0x100 (there will be just two of it in that smali)
- change both to 0x0 (0=zero)
- save smali.
(that will make the notification bar transparent).​
10. HOW TO MAKE TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
res/layout
tw_status_bar_expanded.xml
find :
Code:
android:id="@id/notification_panel" android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg"
change the "@drawable/notification_panel_bg" to "#00000000" or your preferred transparent range. Then, recompile ​

11. HOW TO REMOVE THE TEXT AND TOGGLES STATUS :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
res/layout
tw_quick_setting_button.xml
find :
Code:
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/btn_image" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="60.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip" />
1. change the android:layout_height="60.0dip" to android:layout_height="90.0dip".
2. change the android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip" to android:layout_marginTop="0.0dip"
then in the same xml.
find :
Code:
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/quick_setting_button_text_size"
at the same line, you'll see android:textColor="blablabla", change it to android:textColor="#00000000".
and android:layout_height="blabla.bladip" to android:layout_height="0.0dip"
also at the same xml.
find :
Code:
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/btn_status_image"
.
change all the padding to be like mine :
HTML:
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/btn_status_image" android:paddingLeft="0.0dip" android:paddingTop="0.0dip" android:paddingRight="0.0dip" android:paddingBottom="0.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:scaleType="fitXY" android:drawable="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_off" />
all this steps will make the size of the toggle bigger, remove the toggles text, and remove the toggles status.
then go to :
res/values
dimens.xml
find :
Code:
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_
there will be 7 lines of it in that xml.
change the line to be just like mine :
HTML:
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_height">90.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_image_height">90.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_text_height">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_text_size">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_status_height">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_status_padding">2.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_margin_top">0.0dip</dimen>
next steps :
- make your own toggle images with resolution of 80x100 or 90x110 or mine is 90x150. ( just any resolution that fit your toggle when displayed).
- it doesn't matter because you already fix the dimension of the toggle display. The point of creating new big toggles is not to make the display stretched or narrowed.
final steps:
res/layout
tw_status_bar_expanded.xml
find :
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.quicksetting.QuickSettingPanel android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/quicksetting_container" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
- in that line you'll see android:divider="@bla/blablabla" change it to android:divider="#00000000".
(that will remove the divider between the toggles)
then in the same xml, find :
HTML:
<HorizontalScrollView android:id="@id/quicksetting_scroller" android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
edit the android:layout_height= to android:layout_height="90.0dip".
finish, recompile!
this is how it will look like :
​
12. HINT HOW TO EDIT IMAGE WITHOUT GETTING ERROR! :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) ONLY EDIT the .9patch images before recompile the apk!
HOW TO EDIT IT??
- use the Better Draw9Patch to edit .9patch.
- there are many TUT for that..but i will put it in this TUT later.
- ONLY EDIT THE .9patch images in res/ (which folder it belong) before recompile!
2) EDIT NON-.9patch images after you recompile the "HOW TO EDIT IT" above.
- you can edit all of the NON-.9patch images FREELY in build/res/apk/ (which folder it belong).
- the folder you'll get after you recompile the apk.
- BUT DO NOT TOUCH ANY .9patch images in there!

14. HOW TO CHANGE ANY BACKGROUND WITH OWN IMAGE :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In this TUT#14, you can change any part with any image by using the .9patch. png.
its easy, you just need to change the color code in the xml for example android:background="#colorcode" to android:background="@drawable/your_image".
And then you need to create an .9.png image then put it into res/drawable-****.
the **** means what is your device dpi.
the size of the image is depend with the part that you want to change, it is your creativity.​

15. How To Sign Your Apk After Modding! (IMPORTANT)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- recompile the apk, then the apktool will create new folder named "build".
- open the build/apk/ , copy and replace the original META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml into it. (for signing)
- recompile again by using command :
Code:
apktool b SystemUI
- your modded file will be in "dist" folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
P.S : ALWAYS REPLACE THE ORIGINAL META-INF FOLDER AND AndroidManifest.xml from the ORIGINAL APK into the MODDED APK AFTER BUILD! or else you got bootloop.​

you need to decode the xml so it can be read by any xml reader..with winrar you cant read the xml..

that is not the problem..scroll up more, the exact problem will shown at the several lines after you hit the the build command..
my guess is you forgot to put the battery set completely in the hdpi folder..
