hey guys..
Lately everything's been slowing me down, my beloved HD2 still under repair (it's already been 5 days)
My PC is low end piece of crap, can't even run emulator properly.
Just now finnished on modding SystemUI.apk , and I need tester and feedback.
Recommended only for experienced fellow developers.
Its a apk,still not a flashable-zip(Still haven't learn to do this)
manually move to sysstem/app/
don't forget back-up original SystemUI
Nice job man, looks great. Hopefully someone will be able to assist you with this

Need tester for systemUI..
anyone??
DoctorGore said:
Hey dude. I replaced your SystemUI over mine in V0.4 of the ROM, and rebooted, yet nothing changed. I also tried installing the .apk from inside /system/app but it wouldn't yet me. What am I doing wrong?
I'm about to install V0.5 of the ROM now anyways, but it'd be cool to see an updated version with more colour options.

Did u change the apk permission to rw-r-r??
If still nothing happen, let me know..
DoctorGore said:
Doesn't it come with the correct permissions it needs?
I just replaced it again, this time it 'worked', but now I have no status bar or nav bar. Tried giving it all the permissions, same thing.

Not really sure about that, I guess there is some problem with the mod I've made
and it does not come with set permissions as I only decompiled & recompiled the file and modded it.
Anyway thanks for the feedback.
Currently having hard time on testing out the theme without my HD2, for now will stop uploading files and just making mod with the updated ROM.
will be back after finished modding & testing with it.
my latest work for the theme are attached, but i don't know if it's working or not, I'm still new in almost everything here.
hope this time everythings went well.

update2.zip
You did everything wrong!
1) with install (you must use updater-script and update-binary in META-INF\com\google\android\)
2) With apk (Where is AndroidManifest.xml?)
3) Cant unpack apk (i need for my rom)
If you give me pictures (and changes in the code) i will help you! Wait for you response here, PM, [email protected]
p.s. You will remake Settings.apk for red icons? You draw the icons yourself? If not then tell where you take them, please
Hope you dont mind, I put your theme in a zip you can run from CWM forgot to sign them.. So sig verify off to flash. If you cant figure out what i did, or where to add more changes pm me. Dont be mad its all your work I take no credit, just put in a package I used. Both zips work with IceCreamTosti M3, v0.6, v0.7 and should work with any AOKP ICS build. If any of you try on another ICS build please confirm
Well I made another, your theme + red inside settings.apk. Again these should work on any ICS rom. They work with IceCreamToasti v0.6 for sure

At the first time I saw these thread [CLOSED] Red Sensation Final [AOKP B20/CM9 CDMA+GSM/Gummy 0.6.6]
when googling on theme. then try porting it with IceCreamTosti which you can see on the first post screenshot.
Then just thought about creating my own mod and took some nice looking icon in Sensation's and still using it with just lil mod.

To fix flashlight you need to add some lines to AndroidManifest.xml in SystemUI.apk. I tried this but it didn't work.
Afaik editing AndroidManifest.xml destroys the signature of the APK so the system doesn't except the file any longer. To get around this you'd have to resign all system apps and all jar-Files in /system/framework signed by Samsung.
It's not worth to do this for the flashlight feature. Just disable flashlight in the QuickpanelSettings App.
I personally use a version with modded lidroid-res.apk (different Icons):
The screenshot shows german icon descriptions but the provided version is in english.
If you're interested in the german version you can get it here: Lidroid 14 Statusbar Toggle Buttons German
Just replace the lidroid-res.apk in /system/framework and set permissions to rw-r--r--
vielen Dank Herr Kundal:good:

Might as well start this off as many of us would love to customise our roms even further by creating and modding our roms but dont know where and how to start , hopefully this can be a general guide to de-compiling apk's /re-compiling modifying customising colours etc on most devices .
Website i use for changing and finding out HTML colour codes to change the basic colours in roms here great help especially when you cant find the correct colour code and name or need to use when theming .
I also use this website to re-size my PNG's etc to the sizes i need when modding or replacing pictures.
Android APK tool is a great start for most to learn and figure things out, link to site here
Hopefully this thread can be useful for ALL as with so many devices and different ways to theme mod and customise each individual device we can collectively help each other with the simple and basic stuff to get everyone learning and heading in the right direction .
:good:
Apktool is the only one I have been able to get working with 4.2 framework so it is a very helpful tool and dose have support on how to install and use but I wish there was some way to have a brake down of what is what with the .XML files like what to change and where to change backgrounds and text colors

then why dont we try rose coloured dialer..
Numbers are clearly opaque on red dialer pad & i would like to share dialer.apk file but it may not compatible with your roms thus you will need to follow the given steps
1.install Ninjamorph from google play
2.download the given .zip file & extract it
3.start ninjamorph->starts check->new project->system->apps->DialerTabActivity.apk wait untill it decompiles the apk then go back
4.Now open a file explorer, copy the extracted pngs from downloaded zip file & paste them in AndroidThemes/Workspace/DialerTabActivityapk/res/drawable-mdpi/
5.Open Ninjamorph click on finish project->DialerTabActivityapk->wait until the apk is compiled->click yes->then click No->click again No
finally Done!!! check for the dialer with new Icon in your apps drawer
(If you dont like the new dialer you can find your old dilaer in /AndroidThemes/Backups/DialerTabActivity.apk)
Hope you all like it

Very good logic :good:
But, We have a General Discussion thread for that ( [GENERAL][OFF-TOPIC]No question is noobish
here). Just ask any question or request there
Hi all!
Are you making a ROM? Want users to switch between Themes without downloading tons of zips and flashing them and ending up in a mess? Actually I made this App for my upcoming ROM("Quantum Radicle") for Micromax A89 and it turned out to work on all phones. Sharing is caring :cheers:
Here is the solution - Quantum Themer!
You maybe wondering how it works. The answer is:
Based on VillianTheme System! What I did was first tried to run the script on my Phone, ended up with 10-15 errors, fixed them! Now all this App does behind the scenes is Feed the Theme you select to the script and the script does the rest! But if you do see, the VillianTheme Template itself is nearly 600 KB and the App is just 650 KB
Let's get Straight into the list of features!
Features:
Works on all ROMs - Stock, Custom, AOSP, eh, you name it!
Preview of Themes before Applying
Custom File Extension for themes(Default is .qrt, if you do dig my App, you will find this being set in com.adhi.quantumthemer.ThemeSelector Class. Feel free to change it! But don't kang the App)
Single Button, no hassles!
In-built File Explorer
Theme structure is so simple that, even a "Starter" doesn't take more than a minute to understand
You can use it in your ROM. Just copy the APK into your ROM and provide your users with Theme Files, you don't need to ask permissions, just give me credits
Just include files that need to be replaced/modified, cutting down the size of your themes by a great margin
Scroll down and search for the download link, you'll tell me more
Framework, System Apps, Data Apps support
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /sdcard/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, this will be "Copy, paste" from a VillianTheme Tutorial on "How to make Themes". You may skip to the last point if you know/understand how it works! I strongly recommend you to have a look at the Attached theme for reference. Open it with your favorite Zip Browser(WinRar, 7-Zip)
Check this thread out as well.
Inside the qrt file(Which is to be opened with a Zip Viewer), you can create a folder called "system" and "data" and include a Preview of the theme named "preview.png" or "preview.jpg"(All folders and files without Quotes in their names). The former is required, the latter is not required unless you wanted to theme a data app (strongly not recommended, unless you know the app will be there on every phone)
Inside the system or data folder, create a subfolder "app", and in these, make subfolders named EXACTLY after the APK name. For example, to theme the Browser, you need a folder called "Browser.apk", for Statusbar, "SystemUI.apk". It must be correctly capitalised.
Within there, place the files you require for your theme, in the relevant locations. So most PNGs will be in res/drawable-hdpi/. You can put in xml files too (those which are not in resources.arsc), if you compile them via apktool, and extract them with a zip tool.
If you do make it from scratch and zip it, don't forget to Rename it with extension ".qrt"

Click to collapse
Now lets move on to "How to use it" as I have too much time to kill now, I'm including this
How to Use:
Just Install the App(System, User doesn't matter). Click on "Select Theme" button and then select the Theme you want to Apply. It will ask for Root Permissions if its the First Launch. Next, you'll get a preview of Theme which is going to be applied and then when you press the "Apply" button, the theme will be applied and a Alert Dialog Box asking you to Reboot will appear. I suggest you to Reboot your phone at this point itself. And after reboot, you will be happy to see the Theme Applied

If you face any problems with this App, do the following -
Debugging:
1. Check whether /sdcard/vrtheme exists and contains four or more files/folders.If it doesn't, copy all the contents off vrtheme.zip in the assets folder of the Quantum Themer App.
2. Mount System as R/W before Applying Theme manually.
3. Copy /sdcard/vrtheme/zip and /sdcard/vrtheme/zipalign to /system/bin and CHMod it to 777
4. Type
Code:
sh /sdcard/vrtheme/i*
in Termianl Emulator or ADB and post the result here..

It wouldn't work on your Phone
You can try making your own Theme, its fairly simple
How can I make this work if, for example, I have a SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk modified and I want to apply it on my phone using this app? It's possible?

Just download the Sample Theme and you will get it how it work and how to apply! :good:
A friend sent me to this thread. Once I read your description I got sooo many ideas in my mind! I am a big fun of VRT and this app could help me a lot if it's as I imagine it. Your idea is great.
Just one question for now, previews should be .flv? If yes, will it work ok if I make a slideshow-like preview?
Preview is a PNG static image!
Your post sparkled an idea in my mind too! Thinking of adding a Video Preview + Description

I just said that because your preview was an .flv file and I got confused. I didn't have time to open the .apk or the .qrt. I guess it was a misunderstanding.
Oh, and I'm glad I gave you an idea! Would be cool to see video previews. :good:

Preview is a PNG static image!
Your post sparkled an idea in my mind too! Thinking of adding a Video Preview + Description

Also, why are there two preview.png? One in the root of the .qrt and one in /system folder? Which one is used by the Application?

You should add a package ofsome themes like ICS/JB in the OP.
Testing and reporting right away.
edit:: I will use ur sample theme as base for making my own themes.
Good work.

Because the resource files used are device independent, a file available to MOD on one phone may not be available on the other!

Some ideas:
Would be great if you can add more than one preview pic, in just one is hard to show all things themed.
Other thing is would be nice if themes with their preview remain on the app to just choose one and apply it, I mean like CM themes so you don't have to browse in folders and choose the qrt file each time you want to apply a previously loaded theme.
And finally that the app automatically make a qrt file of the backup that the app make when you apply a theme, so you can easily apply your backup if you didn't like the theme applied.

Do hit the "Thanks" Button! I tried my best to help you, hope you'll do it to!
And tell me if you want Screenshots. It look pretty dumb even though!
If you people like it and want me to do some update/bug-fixes, do keep the thread active. I don't want to end up working for myself.

I have some ideas, and it would be great if you could implement those things.
First of all, it would be cool to have a folder where everyone would put those .qrts, a folder in /system (/system/QuantumThemes) maybe for us to be able to create packages of more than one .qrt and once a user flashes this package, those .qrts will be placed in this folder.
Second, another idea would be: when you open Quantum Themer it will automatically show themes from this particular folder(/system/QuantumThemes) without having the users to browse for themes in the mess of an sdcard. This way it would look more like a theme engine.
Third, how about categories or sections like: Toggles (/system/QuantumThemes/Toggles), or more specific categories like Status Bar Mods/Toggles (/system/QuantumThemes/Status Bar Mods/Toggles) those categories would be created and named by themers or ROM developers. There would be basically folders placed inside the /system/QuantumThemes and your application would just.
So, to give you a whole view of what I am thinking...
A user installs the Quantum Themer. The user flashes a CWM mod package created by someone. The user opens the Quantum Themer app. A window with all of the categories opens. The user selects a category. The category opens revealing sub categories. The user selects a sub category. The sub category opens revealing all installed mods for this sub category. The user selects a mod. A small or full screen window opens showing a preview, maybe a small description(taken from a file /.qrt/description.txt) and an Install button.
Well, that's actually a lot of things...
I thought it would be good sharing with you since you said you want to keep this active and update it. :highfive:
Hope I helped and I definitely hope to see such a great tool becoming better.

I'll add Restore feature, but it will not be a QRT file.
Thanks for your suggestion.

See your PM. It is due to the Binaries not being copied for some strange reason. Its very minor and easy to fix though

Thanks for your detailed feedback mate
1. I think /sdcard/QuantumThemer is a better place as messing around with system is not good for our device and there will be memory limitations in low-end devices. However your idea is cool and all your first 3 points were based on categories, I can take it as one great suggestion. Setting default directory to /sdcard/QauntumThemer is not tough either. I'm already working on a separate layout for displaying Description, preview and if possible a Video Playback.
2. Yes. Instead of laboriously setting up arrays for selecting Categories->Sub Caegories, a central folder on SD Card will be neat.
Thanks for your suggestions people!
