Okay, here is the link to the smart keyboard. and here is the theme http://www.mediafire.com/?yy778k6t2nvltj7. I'd like the keyboard background to be black with fading blue glow around the borders of each key. That's basically all I have for now lol. If you want to add your own touch to it please do.
Ok im out with friends right now, and i think its gonna get late. But tomorrow ill see what i can do
Edit: i think u should remove the smart keyboard link, cause its paid. But im gonna pm it to u as soon as im done.
Edit2: I`ve looked at it and those r all *.9.png`s. To edit them i have to Decompile the apk and Recompile it. And i really have no idea how to compile signed market apps.

You should check the official Smart Keyboard forum. Somebody has started work on this: http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1007
Completely forgot about theme chooser, could try doing it with that, but it will take a while cause ive never done that before, another thing i could try is just to make a fake apk to compile the .9.png and see if it works when i put them into the smartkeyboard.apk. ill report when im back on the computer.

why do you need to compile another APK? smart keyboard has theme capabilities where u put it on the .sdcard as a .zip

Yes, but that only works for .png if u do that with .9.png u mess it up completely. The only thing u could do with .9.png is to let them run through a specific script (read the name somwhere on the net but cant remember) and just change the rgb values. Besides that i never tried it and cant tell if it works, theres still the problem, that u couldnt just make blue outlines on the keys or fade the bg from black to blue.
If u've been able to do that, tell me how, coz i never got .9.png to work without compiling them in an app.

The capitalizations were done to emphasize the idea. Now that I got that point across, but anyway.

That's why I was so confused on why you guys were trying to modify the skin of the keyboard from the .apk. The actual application supports themes that makes it easier. It's like trying to reskin CM7 when there's a built-in theme manager. Just use the theme manager, it gets the job done easy and quick.
Enjoy.

Thank you. I downloaded a couple of them last night. I was unaware of that website until you brought it to my attention. I really want a honeybread themed kb though.... his blues aren't quite right

So I posted this in the Q/A section but no one could help me out. Since it's a theming issue, I'm re-posting it here to see if I some one will know what I'm talking about. I've been trying to make the jog tabs transparent when you answer or decline a call, and I can't seem to find it. I've already edited the tabs, in the framework drawable-hdpi, so my unlock screen is transparent. But that doesn't seem to affect the tabs when you answer a call. Anyone know the answer? I don't think it's in the phone.apk. Do I need to edit an xml file in the framework? Thanks to anyone willing to help.

So I unzipped it to have a look around and it's not in there. I know if I want to mess with the dialer all the png's are there but I'm looking to make the answer call screen transparent. I found the 'answer' and 'reject' png's in the phone.apk but the tabs around them (the tabs that make it look like the AOSP lockscreen) won't go away.
Sorry off the top of my head I believe they're in the phone.apk. im the drawable-hdpi folder. If you can't find them ill look when I get home.

THIS THEME WORKS Perfect.. looks WAY better then stock...
as a result i will now be doing a lot of themeing for our devices... so let me know what you guys want...
EDIT: framework-res.apk DOWNLOAD ADDDED AT BOTTOM OF POST
THIS IS STILL BETA... NOT ALL GRAPHICS ARE FINISHED...
STILL NEED TO DO draw9patch...
the only mods i have done are graphic skkinning... anywhere i saw turqouise i turned it cyan blue...
the battery icon when normally green is now blue...
the background of the notification area is dark.. thinking of turning it black...
the turqouise toggles in the notification are are now cyan blue...
any where there is a button press is changed from turquiose to cyan blue
this is what it should look like...
compared to old style...

Haha definitely a feature. I'm going to give your framework a try when I get home. Got to research android though as this is my first android phone switching from the iPhone. I haven't used XDA since back in the days of WM 6.5.
Never mind the carrier is there... I have XML coding. Experience but does anybody know how to edit XML binary iN android..

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.
Thanks for snazzier look!

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

Hi,
This is my very first post on xda. Woohoo!
Anyways, I've never liked the stock messaging app on the optimus black, but I really love samsung's stock messaging interface with the blue and yellow text bubbles and the dark bg. Is it possible for me to install their stock messaging app? Or can I theme my stock messaging app to look like samsung's?

Hey guys! Can anyone here can modify and fix the droidsms apk that can be found in the market?

Yes. I don't know, how much you know, so if you need a more detailed explanation, just tell me.
But you know, that you need a rooted device, okay?
I explain, how to do this without xml editing, because it's easier and if you're lucky, it works fine without.
First copy the sms application from your phone to your computer.
Then replace the '.apk' with '.zip'.
Okay, now you should be able to open the app with winrar or 7zip.
Navigate to the drawable hdpi folder. There you can find all images. (Some are located at no dpi and land dpi too.) Now do the same with a samsung sms app. (You can get it by extracting it from a samsung stock rom.) Simply replace the images with the images of the samsung app.
Maybe you have to change the names, because the new images must have the names of the old images.
And it's important, that you choose as compression methode 'none'. (The default option is 'normal'.)
The last step is, to rename it again to '.apk' and replace the old sms app on your phone. But do a backup of the app before.

Hi everyone, before trying to install any stock camera apps..
Backup your all current photos and videos that were on DCIM, otherwise you will lose all data in DCIM
You can recover those with some software, but you can't get open them
Suggesting you, as I have faced this problem..

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You could also just try to extract the mms API from Aurora and push it into whatever rom you're using provided its the same base
just sayin....
dont need aurora rom. it have released on themes section line samsung s2 theme by same developer.
Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!
Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!
Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.
