Alright so im trying to mod the htccontacts.apk
i want to be able to hit the people icon and when it pulls up and u can see all of ur contacts the background is all in white. I want to be able to change the backround color to blue or red.
Ive pulled the apk and checked out the drawable and drawable - mdpi files and have replaced a few of the files with blue versions and when i flash the app to phone again and hit people icon it shows up blue while loading but the when the contacts load up they are white again. any idea to what im missing...

About various other apps/widgets being skinned, well basically you can take the apk that it is in the theme and put it on the root of your sdcard and do this in the recovery console
Code:
mount system
mount sdcard
ls /system/app (only if you need to find the exact name, skip if you don't need the exact name)
cp /sdcard/exactappnamecapsandall.apk /system/app/exactappnamecapsandall.apk
awesome! keep up the great work

you are actually having a massive fail (but its ok). there are 3 files edited. one .png, one .xml, one .dex.
literally all this is is a black notification with the clock and date and the text for the notifications white.

Oh I see...thanks.
I would prefer black bars too, but the problem is that app icons are designed for white background, so some of them can't even be seen when the bar is black.

if there is a theme with icons you like i can pull them from there and drop them into it so that the icons are visible.

I personally never cared about the app icons on main screen; I only look at the tray icon and notification bar colors and icons.
The icons I'm talking about are notification ones like the one for Swift, which is just a black flying bird. This would be a black bird on black bar background, making it invisible.

ooohhh i was talking about battery, signal, wifi, notification icons, but yeah i can't really do anything about other apps
actually i think you could probably use that one method to do this also. where you make the apk match the theme. here wouldnt you just have to look for the png and invert the color? or no? i really dont know just says what I's thinks

i could but then if some of the apps or paid then it would be an issue of warez and i would rather not get into that. also it would need to be done every time the app is updated.
true. too much work and trouble. well then, guys if you want a simple black bar, be ready to sacrifice some notifications. none of mine are black, except weatherbug, but thank god you can change that one to white its an option in the app!

just download it, put it on the ROOT of your sdcard(meaning NOT in any folder) then go into recovery and just flash it like you would flash a rom.
basically its exactly the same as flashing a rom.
That's wat I did but it said bad file and then it aborted the instalation

hmmm. which one are you trying, also what did it say , did it tell you it was a bad file (i had that one with a rom, and redownloading it fixed it) or did it say something about about verification or not being signed properly?
I was flashing it normally and it said the blackbar(bad) instalation aborted I was using cm 4.11.1 but I will redownload and try again
i think it might be the signing thing.. does the file name have anything to do with it? cause i see for 4.0.4 it says signed but 4.1.11.1 does not. might be that?
crap i gotta go back to work. be back later!

nawh man, (or else i probably would've heard something from the 15 or 16 that have got it so far).
i think that means that the download got corrupted, try to redownload it and flash it again, if that doesn't work i will resign it and upload it again.
ok i tried redownloading but its not working with 4.1.11.1 then i tried to download the other one to see if it was a problem with my conection it downloaded fine. i think i might need a mirror
This will replace the Android 1.6 Calendar and Calendar Widget with dark versions.
Instructions:
1.)Download to /sdcard Black Calendar With Blue Widget[/color]
If you are happy with the blue widget, go to step 3, otherwise go to step 2.
2.)Download to /sdcard your desired widget color:
Black Calendar Widget
Green Calendar Widget
Red Calendar Widget
Purple Calendar Widget
Yellow Calendar Widget
3.)Boot to recovery and flash first Black_Calendar_With_Widget.zip, then without reboot, flash the Black<Color>_CalendarWidget.zip (if you downloaded a colored widget).
4.)Reboot.
Is the Widget Black?
Not yet, that is actually another apk. It is in the works though.
Ohoh ight that's cool. So we can't use this to replace the regular Google Calender? And does this app Sync with Google?

Have you tried making the blue header on the widget black?
Would editing "appwidget_calendar_bgtop_blue.9.png" to black achieve what I am after?

That would be quite simple, I kept it blue because me theme is black and blue. The file is in res/drawable in CalendarProvider.apk. If you cannot edit .9.pngs, let me know and I will do this in black.
That would be greatly appreciated.
The calendar looks nice, it's a little dark though and you cant see the current day's date (black on black).
Flashed from recovery. phone hangs after bootscreen.
hello everyone,sorry for my poor English
I have themed my own phone looks like a Nexus s
mostly every background is black and text is white,except
in root explorer ,when i press menu,the popup is white background and text is white too......then press more .again white background with white text
what can I do....
I hate to bring this old thread up again. But, does anyone have an answer?
It seems that the menu background for some common applications like "Root Explorer" or "Droid Analytics" does not change properly with the theme. Instead, it shows a white menu with white text.
My entire device is completely Gingerbread themed based off of the stock framework-res. But, these menus are totally messed up. White text on white menus. Should be white text on black transparent menus.
I might be way off: But have you guys tried changing the color in the .XML file/s?

I changed the colors for menus within framework-res.apk res/values/styles.xml. All other menus system-wide work fine. Every other application menu works fine.
Which XML are you thinking about?

Oh yeah I thought about that. But, since I'm creating this theme for a ROM used by hundreds of people, I'd rather not have to theme these external applications.
Someone's got to know the answer to this problem!

Im having a problem theming pop up background colors. For example if you hot the menu button in the browser, you get new windows bookmark etc... the background I have for that is black with white text. However if I hit the more option? It brings up a new pop up menu with the same blavk background but now the text is black and I can't see it.
So my question is what file is it to change that background and where or where is the. Xml file to change that font color to white? Thanks!

Thanks, but I didn't find what I was looking for in that topic.
I'm pretty sure that's either in resources.arsc or services.jar in system/framework/framework-res.apk...I can't remember what sub folder it was maybe values/styles...you will have to decompile them using apktool or some other tool that uses smali /baksmali ... hope this points you in the right direction.

Hi,
Which file is it that I need to change in order to make the colour back to blue in the atached image?
In the old firmware the colour in the toggle was blue, now after updating it is white. It is also the same in the contacts/dialer/favourite contacts screen when scrolling left to right between them. Any help would be great as I really want to change it back.
Thanks

its in the framework im pre sure its xml or smali idk but the themes are just stupid overlays without them its white so im pre sure in frameworks it has origional theme overlay and it makes everything white:silly:
Ok im home and armed with a brew.:good:
Regardless of the Sony theme selected my toggles stay constant, that's the switch and switch background.
Ive never seen toggles in contacts etc so im assuming you mean something else, tab selected maybe?

No probs.
If you have no Sony themes installed then it will be controlled by the default theme (framework/re/drawable-xhdpi/semc_)
If you do have Sony themes then the overlay you need to change is in **Theme.apk/res/valus/color.xml
Code:
<color name="semc_theme_accent_color">#ff0000ff</color>
See the attached screenshots.
I just edited BlackTheme.apk to "ff0000ff" for display purposes.
I managed to fix it.
I had deleted the semc_theme_wallpaper.jpg from
system/etc/customisation/content/com/sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/walpapers
so the theme was not being applied correctly. Once i restored it i know have the blue back
thanks for the help though

It was probably error-ing out and returning to the default theme.
Glad you got there.
