I'm currently using Apex 8.1 and was wondering if anyone knows how to theme the tabs in the dialer?
image is attached
I would like to change the bg of the tabs to black.
Thanks in advance.
They are controlled by twframework-res.apk. tw_tab_* files in it

Thanks for the quick response. I really appreciate it. I've been going through framework-res.apk for the past hour and could not get it to work. Thanks again.

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?

I was thinking maybe changing color codes in Root Explorer's XML might help. But I don't know.

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!

Why don't people describe the problem?
I've done it with my rom, what's the problem, what are you doing and what are you observing?

The problem is nothing is changing. I metamorphed the system.apk.
Hi there. I understand your frustration with this, as I ran into this the first time I ported my theme to a Gingerbread rom. 90% of the status bar and pull down notification bar icons are handled in a differently way with 2.3. You'll find these in the SystemUI.apk. Res / drawable hdpi. While at first these seems crazy, it does offer some other bonuses, like being able to change the clock, data, and Clear button text colors via an XML in there as opposed to having to mess with the services.jar. Anyway, hope this helps.

Thanks but I already did all that. I'm trying to theme the Power Control Widget.
Isn't the power control widget files in settings.apk? (well it is on cm7). Mine themes fine. (not metamorphing though, just flashable zips)

I'm running MIUI so we are talking apples and oranges here, but I've themed my settings background. Mine was a png in the framework-res apk called settings_background (or something like that). I'm at work right now so I don't have the decompiled rom to get the exact name. Sorry I can't be of more help but if you aren't seeing it in settings, I bet you will find it in framework-res.
Thanks so far, didn'f find a file excecpt "settings_header_raw.9", but this is for the header (as it says...).
I know that MIUI is using graphics for the background.
So sad that it seems to be not that easy :/
Does anyone else have any idea?
Thanks!
Any idea, please?

First of all Want to introduce my self to everyone and greet the XDA community.
I think all of you guys are doing a wonderful job with all of the things you are creating for android, and window's mobile users. Hello all!
My question is.. Is there any way to change the style or colors of the yellow and blue bubbles for the threaded messaging?
Is it possible to change it entirely so it could look different? For example, the HTC EVO 3D threaded Messaging or any HTC threaded Messaging?
Why don't you try out Handcent SMS?
I've tried that before and i don't really like it.
Is there anyway to change the theme of the conversations that come default with the phone?

Yup but it is long and a P.I.T.A. you have to recompile the apk, find Tue color codes for the bubbles, change the color codes, recompile the apk and push to the phone.

Start with APK manager or APK tool both will decompile the apk. As for where the color codes are in the apk I have never looked but if you PM nunhugger, xtreme, defuse, spinz, chiki or another member from the Team Phoenix themes thread I am sure one of them can tell you where the color codes are.
Thanks alot!
The bubbles are actually images. They are .9 images...so they, must be decompiled before the colors are changed. As fire changing the style all together. I am sure it can be done...would just take a lot of work.

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

If its the xml's I thought there was issues recompiling framework-res?

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.
