@ynkamat
Regarding the message bubble design you requested. In order tho have light text on a dark bubble requires decompiling/recompiling the Whattsapp apk and editing the xmls to change the text color. I have tried that in the past, but with little success .. as Whattsapp doestnt seem to be able to recompile properly with the conventional decompiling methods. That is why you will see most mods have only black text on lighter bubbles. Not so easy to do an inverse design.

@Yorzua
I am well aware of how to decompile and recompile apks.
The issue is with the Whattsapp apk recompiling after editing the Styles.xml within the res values folder. As many themers have found, there is an issue with recompiling WhatsApp apk after performing such edits. No one seems as yet able to successfully recompile the apk and alter the message bubble text color. You are doing well if you can change the text to inverse using ApkTool.
I myself prefer APK Manager than ApkTool as its command line structure is much better laid out and has more options.

@ Youzua
Are you able to change the black bubble text to white (within the speech bubbles)....?
The trouble lays in that part of the modifications.
I have yet to see anyone successfully recompile the Whatsapp.apk (myself included) and have the changes (black text to white) actually work after finalization.
Many have tried editing both the Style.xml and Color.xml.. but the it just don't take after recompiling. The person who cracks this is going to make everyone happy.

If it has nothing to do with the Development of this thread then do not post.
If you wish to throw insults at each other then do it on another site as we do not want to read it. Next time i have to clean this crap up i shall give out Holidays from xda

My answer :
Wasnt you happy when i was posting all my posts off topic from the theming of your themes ?
Did i help you or i just imagine your words below ?
Without my help, you would never be able to go deeper in your own theming which comes now to a real development via xmls and smalis !
I wanted sincerely to help you but hey, like you said, you seem to be more proud or ashame for that... i still remember how you posted in my threads with rage and crap **** ...
dont count on me ever to help you and wrong if you think that we dont need help from someone else...
======================================================================
If you come by my thread and like my work, i ask nothing more than a little thanks for the effort.
If you dont, then just give me credits if you use it.
Thanks for reading, i wish you a great day ☼

I just created yesterday the OP and will release properly all versions with screenshots this weekend
I'm liking the changes made, not sure about the font.
BTW, Some of the preview images hosted on imageshack are not appearing.

All feedback is always appreciated.
This thread is about Whatsapp.
Fonts are not included in the apk but comes from my rom ICS_Yorzua-Desire v2.
I'm not able to install it. I copied it to system/app . changed permissions and reboot. But nothing happens.

Works for me and others.
Do you have place in your internal memory ( /system ? )
Did you set Permissions to all ?
[example]
I love your customizations Yorzua, the best around!
BTW, I installed a modded version of tweetdeck thanks to you Yorzua and I followed the same steps as you did and it worked flawlessly.
Downloaded apk to my Nexus S SD Card, then I open *Root Explorer* (you can use any file explorer with root capabilities: Script Manager - ES FIle Explorer - ROM Toolbox) changed mounting to writeable and moved the modded app to /system/app ..... then changed permissions to file so it reads: rw--r--r--
After doing so, I rebooted my phone open the app drawer and app was there, clicked on it and it works as it is supposed to.
Can you also make a BBMessenger look-a-like..??

Hi, great theme, I like it! But why is it necessary to install your app as system app & reboot? I tried other themes which can be used by just installing them. I'm just curious.

Not mandatory but 99% of the members coming here have already the latest release installed and since whatsapp ca be moved to sd, my method to install it is more efficient.
but for a first installation, you can perfectly install it with one click

Update 1/10 Minor update to some, maybe major to others, I've made some changes to the status bar pull down for Ascend users, I've changed the main text to be black, I'm still not completely happy with it, so i'll keep tweaking... Also, I've added support for HDPI devices in the Gingerbread3.5.zip, in general the theme should work on a wider variety of devices.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Update 1/9 The theme is pretty much complete
In order for Ascend users to get the white clock you need to download buildprop and replace the one under your system folder with it. You'll have to be rooted and use a file manager or you could use adb shell or a terminal to replace your build.prop
Another change to the build.prop for the popups!!!
Special thanks to yuyuye for the information.
I've attached some screenshots of the theme in action. There are many more changes not visible in the screenshots, the majority of the framework-res have been updated to match the new theme.
UPDATE 12/16
I've attached the metamorph theme in case anyone wants to try it, i would say it's beta quality as it's not finished, but it's usable. Just load the v0.1.zip file on to your sdcard, download metamorph and install away. If you have any basic questions, feel free to ask but I won't be providing an major support yet because it's not finished. I would say it's 75% complete at the most. And as always, you shouldn't have any problems but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
UPDATE 12/22
New version v0.3 with a change to the submenu, I changed the submenu to white so the text is legible until i can get the Ascend deodexed and properly change the color of the text...
The download labeled GingerbreadAscend3.zip is may specifically for the Ascend I don't recommend anyone apply it on any other phones
The download labeled Gingerbread3.zip is for any and all MDPI phones
Have fun!!!

Insrtuctions for installation:This is a Metamorph theme, so download and install Metamorph. Put the theme on your sdcard. Make sure your phone is rooted, you have busbox downloaded and installed and that usb debugging is turned on
For Ascend users, download your appropriate build.prop file and use a program like root explorer or subfs to copy and paste it into the /system/ directory, if you don't want to purchase one of those programs, download this program from the market "Mount /system (rw / ro)" open it and mount the system as r/w then use adb shell or a terminal emulator to copy the file over
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
and the launcher i'm using in the screenshots is linked to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10063058&postcount=69

Ascend users checkout http://www.myascend.org for Ascend specific info and tutorials
Make sure to post screenshots if you load the theme!!!

UPDATE 2/3
I am no longer supporting this theme, I'm moving on to bigger and better. Happy themeing!!!!
Made a little progress using apk manager to decompile some of the xmls, got the date to show up white but still not the time and popup option menus(not sure what to call them). If anyone has any expertise, I could use the help....
Keep up the good work, I am looking fws to checking it out!
If you send me your framework-res.apk I can fix the code for the pop-up menu text.

Thanks, but problem is I don't have a "values" folder in my framework, much less an xml called "style" in any of the folders...
wait..
I'm an idiot... found it
It wasn't re-compiling the whole framework for me either, i had to to trick it to get it to re-compile the styles.xml by putting it in a different folder and renaming it... Flashed it to my phone.... and... no difference, pulled the framework back down and made sure the changes where present and they are... the Ascend doesn't seem to use those files at all... I'm pretty sure too because i accidentally deleted all the files in the values folder except the styles.xml and the phone works fine...
Thanks for your ideas Benny879, if you have any insight as to whats going on, I'd appreciate any help you could give, in the mean time i'm going to be pouring through these xml files, looking for any clues...
For anyone following the progress on this, the problem seems to be that this phone uses odex files instead of the more easily assessable jar or apks, so I'm looking into deodexing the necessary files... If anyone could offer assistance, I would appreciate it...

The gingerbread metamorph theme I'm working on will change your lock screen sliders, your notification bar and slide down, your dialog confirmation buttons, market place tab button and a bunch of other misc graphics, your signal bars, battery, bluetooth, etc... The theme i'm working on doesn't touch the launcher. i personally use launcher pro, so this theme doesn't conflict with it, but if you want your launcher specifically to look like gingerbread's, you can find themes already made for launcher pro..

Thank you !
Unfortunately, it did nothing with my status-bar.
The clock remains on the right, even after reboot.
However, I did exactly what you wrote.
I tried several methods (TheGrammarFreak, Taine0, or Zdunex25) but none works.
Too bad, I think I have to forget to have a centered clock...
Anyway, thanks for your effort !
have a retry it works

Mmmm, no.
I tried to apply the right, the first one which name is "CENTER CLOCK UI.ZIP".
I do like you wrote : choose the file, apply the file, wait a long time (about 5 minutes), and then, the systemUI FC indefinitely.
So i'm forced to remove the battery for reboot.
And the clock remains on the right...
I'm really sorry.
FYI, my rom is the Temasek's Unofficial CM7 (#91) for LG O2X (see here).

Flash the following zip trough CWM: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/4281191/Center-Clock-For-Litderose .zip
Tell me if you need any other kind of modifications like font or text color/size/style.
DON'T MANUALLY REPLACE THE SystemUI.apk SINCE THAT GIVES MOST OF THE TIME A FC.
It works on roms with odex?

I never suggest to use other SystemUI.apk's which are not from your rom >.>
And the SystemUI that Litderose posted was deodexed so if you've posted a odexed SystemUI for Litderose it wouldn't work...
Dear friends, here is my feedback :
1/ nandroid
2/ venakt kamesh's mod : i copied the file, get some FC, reboot, and then the status-bar diseapear.
3/ nandroid restore
4/ seahorsepip's mod : installed with CVM (i saw your nice message ), reboot, and then... nothing change, the clock remain on the right.
Anyway, what I want to say is : THANK YOU my friends !
It's very kind of you the interest of my problem !
I think the only solution (for me !) to have a centered clock are :
- to install a MIUI rom with Andy's mod,
- to install a CM9 rom with Rob43's mod.
Meanwhile, I'll keep my clock on the right !

Just want to thank you venkat kamesh !
Unfortunately, it's too late because, the dev of my rom decided to incorporate the transparent status bar and the centered clock.
So i'm happy now.
Anyway, I would like to thank you very much for your efforts in providing me a solution !

Apollo Music Themes
I use CM9 and absolutely love this music app but it's freaking ugly!!!
I did not make this app, I just themed it!!
I got it to invert but some things rely on the skin to make it complete..until the skin is ready to theme the whole app I made 2 parts to apply the theme. Zip to flash and a skin to complete it!
You apply this at your own risk and I would suggest you backup first!
You may use this in your Rom/Themes but PLEASE give credit on your threads!!!

Instruction to install the zip:
1. Download the zip to your Sdcard
2. BACKUP Your setup!!!!
3. Use Rom manager or boot into your recovery
4. Find the zip and flash it in recovery
5. Boot up and it will be ready for the next step
Instructions to apply the skin to finish the theme:
Note: The skin will not theme the widget!!!
1. Download the APK to your Sdcard
2. use a file manager like "Astro file manager" or Root Explorer" if you don't have one already and install the skin
3. Open Apollo and select Menu/Settings/Themes/Select your theme once selected touch Apply theme
4. Enjoy your fully themed Apollo music app!!!
******If you didn't read those and ask questions covered already I WILL BEAT YOU!!!
Nah but I will make you feel stupid so READ READ READ******
Oh you might need these...Links:
DarkICE Apollo Music zip:
Flash me in recovery
RedICE Apollo Music zip:
Flash me in recovery
DarkICE Skin:
Install me and apply Apollo settings
RedICE Skin:
Install me and apply Apollo settings
Coming:
Blue
Pink
Orange
Green
Purple
Gold
then I'll take requests once these are done!!!!
To remove the theme just flash the rom again and if that doesn't work use Root explorer to remove Apollo.apk from System/data then wipe all cache in recovery!!!
Hope you all enjoy this and I will be making more colors soon!!!!

I don't mean to be a bother, but you seem to be the only person in the whole internet that knows how to do this. Your themes are very well made, but not quite what I'm looking for.
I know where the images are, and I think I know where to change the other colors, but I just can't figure out how to finish it off. I have the project imported in Eclipse, and I can export an APK from there, but it won't install.
Am I way off, or just missing something small? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

The only thing I see missing is signing it. If your only going to post a thread with it sign it with apktool but if you're going to upload it to the market then you must use a private key to sign it...That's all that I see missing. ;-)

There is already a skin on the market that works good with my DarkICE version that's black and cyan. If not let me know and I can throw one together tomorrow. Epic blue I believe is the name.

Wow, such a simple thing. I thought I'd only need to sign it if I was going to put it on the market, but I guess that's only half the story!
Thanks to that great tip I have a nice new theme on my music player It also happens to be exactly what ArcticFish is looking for. I don't want to jack your thread anymore than I already have, so I won't upload it without your permission.
Thanks again!

It took a little longer than expected cause I forgot to do the other resolutions, my phone is hdpi, but since I'm sharing it with others, I shouldn't make any assumptions.
So, here's the link, ArcticFish, hope it meets your expectations (and remember, this doesn't touch the widget, though I certainly wouldn't mind figuring that out either...)

If anyone would be willing to help out a noob I would would forever be in your debt. Ive made a few themes for ADW so I know my way around Eclispse a little but I downloaded them template from his site. When I import it into Eclipse I get the following errors.

Hmmm, there are no spaces in your folder names? I actually hate eclipse so I just decompiled the apk and changed the source path in smali to mine...edited the smali with notepad and compiled with apk multitool.

The way I did it, from the very beginning, is:
- File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into workspace
- Browse for the folder, and check Copy projects into workspace
- In the package explorer, right click -> Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties
- Project -> Clean
Those steps always seemed to clear up strange little problems like that. Hope that helps!
I downloaded the template from http://goo.gl/EPRiL link taken from http://www.seeingpixels.org/ I extracted it and imported it into Eclipse. The folder has a space in it when I downloaded it. I just tried getting rid of the space and it just gave me a different error this time.

Sorry to bother you again, but is there any chance you could point me to where I can change the colors of the pop-up menus (like when you tap the three dots, or the little arrow) and the settings screen? I've looked everywhere I can think of, and even compared a bunch of the files from your themes, but I just can't figure it out.
Thanks for all your help!

If you're doing the full app they are in styles.xml of the values folder but you will need to decompile it to see that. If you're doing the skin I don't think that's possible.

Well, there's something I'm missing. It's correct on the Now Playing tabs, but not in the Library or Settings. This is good enough for now, though.
I really appreciate the help. I never would have come close without your words of wisdom! Thanks again!

How-To change Apps in the S-PEN Shortcuts toolbar
I found, after a long time, a solution for change the Apps in the S-Pen Shortcuts toolbar. The toolbar pops up if you pushed out the S-Pen.
I don´t like and use some Apps like this stupid Game "crayon_physics" or Polaris Office...... first i have delete the Game but how i can get a new App in this Toolbar?!?
Now i have found a solution!!! And i want to teach you how you can do this!!!
First a few Screenshoots before and ofter the modding:
before (without the game):
{
"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"
}
after modding:
So .... how can you change the toolbar? I have tested it only on a deodexed ROM!!
What do you need?
any APK Tool Manager for decombile and recombile, like this LINK
a Text Editor like Notepad++ (free)
your SystemUI.apk from your ROM
a cup cake and a coffee :laugh:
First you decombile the SystemUI.apk
Go to the folder systemui\res\values
open the arrays.xml with the Text Editor
Here you find this lines
Code:
com.diotek.mini_penmemo,com.diotek.mini_penmemo.Mini_PenMemo_Service
com.sec.android.app.snotebook,com.infraware.filemanager.FmFileTreeListActivity
com.android.calendar,com.android.calendar.AllInOneActivity
com.acrodea.crayonphysics,com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1,air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
com.infraware.PolarisOfficeStdForTablet,com.infraware.splash.SplashActivity
Now you need the packageName and the className of the App that you want to make in the Toolbar.
An example:
com.acrodea.crayonphysics,com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
packageName = com.acrodea.crayonphysics
className = com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
or
air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1,air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
packageName = air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1
className =com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
Now you can change the packageName & className with your wanted Apps and recombile the SystemUI.apk
Pushed the SystemUI.apk in a flash able ZIP or changed it in your ROM.
Here are a List of Apps that i have allready tested! If you have an other App please post the packageName and the className and i added it on this List!!!
Or install the ClassFinder App
Code:
[B]Contacts[/B]
packageName=com.android.contacts
className=com.android.contacts.activities.DialtactsActivity
or
[B]Contacts[/B]
packageName=com.android.contacts
className=com.android.contacts.activities.PeopleActivity

className=com.sec.android.app.camera.Camera
[B]Galerie[/B]
packageName=com.sec.android.gallery3d

I have been looking for something like this.
Now, if we can just get it to be modified, on the fly (as an app and not required to be flashed in recovery), by specifying the apps you want to put in there....THAT will be cool and very, VERY useful.
Thanks for you hard work - appreciated.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly for me. I do get it to work, but then the systeui.apk crashes every few seconds. Do you have an indication of what could go wrong, or at least where do you think a mistake is made?
Because we are getting so many good suggestions for OTA updates in our thread AllianceROM_JB XXLSZ_v2 we decided it was time to start a thread for users to post their submissions.
Major Credits to Robbie Hood for making this Rom and to Ficeto for making the awesome Rom Customiser and the Ota app
OTA visuals (and updates) are bound to certain format rules that I will explain in the following posts.
All things posted in here will first be tested and evaluated before being uploaded to OTA
please be advised that mods are not to include complete framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk or android-policy
{
"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"
}
OTA visuals
Visuals are zips containing images and XML files from apk that are to be changed.
Format for zip name is simple, just try to describe what the mod does, if mod is a variation of existing mods use same format as existing ones.
The .theme in the name is no longer needed.
Inside zip you put name of apk (without .apk). Mods can contain more than one apk!
Also put in the root op the zip:
An empty txt file named theme
A txt file called description with a short description of the mod
An image file in JPG format called preview with an image of your mod
put in the rest of the folders like in original apk
Before uploading it please test the mod yourself by putting it on your sd and flashing from RomCustomiser
If your mod fits an existing category please tell us in your post
If you come up with mods that don't have a category yet, please also make a revert mod containing the same images and xml from the original rom so users can get back to that easily
OTA updates
Ota updates can contain apk, mostly used by Dev's to update the Rom.
Can however also be used for fixes that contain an apk like the stock playstore
They are basicaly CWM zips, with some additions:
A txt file named description with a description of the update
An JPG file named preview with an image of the mod (preferable, not compulsory)
Please remember that all system apps go in preload/symplink/system/app
You can use the base zip that I uploaded here

Thanks a lot Bas :highfive:

Yes. Also, you have to be using the Alliance Ficeto TWRP kernel. Philz must be missing some of the busybox (/?) instructions that make the theme engine work.

nice thanks man will uplaod em to our server asap but im experimenting a bit with my ROM
if all goes as planned the rom config will have a stock theme option as well so no need to flash a stock theme afterwards for the ones who like stock but just optional via romcustomizer when flashing the rom
is there any chance to get a zip to flash it from cwm?
it´s because I use this beautiful rom as sd rom and can´t flash anything via Rom Customizer :crying:
I tried different zip´s till now with my own png but none works

Didn't realize there was a functioning dual boot kernel now. Need to go look at that
Obviously, your setup is totally unsupported as far as Alliance team would be concerned. None of the OTA stuff would ever work. You'd might be better off running Alliance as the main 'phone' ROM and AOSP, CM, whatever, as your SD ROM.
But there is hope for you yet...
You need to pull your framework-res.apk, manually modify the background png, and push framework-res.apk back into /system/framework manually via ADB or whatever file manager is convenient (Alliance ROM Manager comes to mind)
You can follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175160 (except in Alliance ROM, Robbie changed the HOLO background name to background_holo_dark.png and NOT tw_background_holo_dark) :highfive:

You can follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175160 (except in Alliance ROM, Robbie changed the HOLO background name to background_holo_dark.png and NOT tw_background_holo_dark) :highfive:

thanks m8 for ur quick anser :good:
with the ota updates I got no problem,
downloaded with AllianceOTA and flashed via recovery, worked fine so far
and I know it would be the best to flash this Rom as phone Rom,
but I´m to lazy to setup two Roms again :silly:
and you would laugh, I extracted the framework-res.apk from the rom a few minutes ago and replaced that png ,
but not flashed till now
Edit: it worked, I copied over the framework-res.apk manually

but this backgrounds don't also change in home screens and lockscreen? I flashed one in rom customizer and it changed the background only when i',m in settings, other than that i have my old background. Or am I missing something?

You mean wallpaper. Wallpaper and backgrounds are two different things
