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.

System ui apk

Sounds interesting, I went into the System ui apk, and opened "res" folder, then "drawable-hdpi", and found what I believe to be the right file, "status_bar_background.png" is this the correct file to edit for say, changing the transparency in gimp or photoshop?
I, like vdubguy, would like to know how to do this without using the kitchen.

With the new system ui API you ,have to decompile the apk and change a value as it points the background to a color code and not the image. Once you change that then you can change the image to add transperncy. You will also have to decompile it to make color changes as well

Hi everyone,
I've been searching around for a bit, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of any CM10/AOKP theme engine themes that only change icons? I Like the look of stock Jellybean, but I don't really like the stock icons. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Just use an alternative launcher like Nova or Apex and then look for themes for those.

Yeah I can do that, but that doesn't help when app icons show up in places such as Recent Apps or Lockscreen Targets. I'd like the icons to be changed at the system level, not the launcher level.
*bump*
Anyone?
This is interesting. Bump indeed.
I've spent the whole evening looking for exactly this. Bump.
I think there's a real market for this. I would even pay $.99 on the Play Store for a Sense Icons theme. Or Touchwiz 4. Or some kind of Miui-like icons. Really, I'd love it if there were several options of this type...any themers out there feel like going into this?

I can't make icons, but tell me what set of icons you like I can make you a theme with them.

I would love to have the Sense 4 icons...like the ones in this Apex theme. I don't know where you'd find the icons though...
I use a Galaxy S2, so HDPI. Does it matter though? Other CM10/AOKP themes work for both...
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to understand. If I'm wrong, please tell me!
I know it matters for a lot of graphical elements in the UI, but I don't think it'll make any difference if we're talking about just icons. I've used several themes built for XHDPI devices on my S2, and what happens is this: I get an error that says, "Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." I click the Apply Anyway option, and then everything works fine.
Thanks for doing this, by the way! You're a life saver.
U will need to make icon packs urself or changed each apk icons one by one for each app u installed if u have root... no icon pack in market will change all icons for the all apps installed as there are millions of apps... With launchers u can just change home icons not appdrawer....
You can use a program like themeX to extract the icons to speed it up a bit. Also I have made icons if you want any help.

Generally, for system apps, you need to extract them and decompile them and then look into androidmanifest.XML. but for downloaded apps, the process name is shown as the app name in data/app.

Hey.
Can you explain how you compiled a icon only theme? I'd really like to know how 'cause I'm also looking for the same thing or instructions.
Thanks!

If you want other icon themes, provide the icon set and I'll compile it.

I'd actually like to do it myself because I want to learn how to do make icon only theme. Will the way you do it, work for XHDPI?
Alright, I found a guide that helped me compile and decompile using apktool and managed to make a theme. One question: when i delete an xml or edit an xml, it won't compile. how can i fix this?

Delete public.XML from res/values. It will regenerate automatically after compiling.

Also be careful what you edit in the xml. It will throw out errors if you reference something that is not there and not compile.
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.

Hi !
First I own an Xperia V, ICS 4.0.4 with 9.0.1.D.0.10 Firmware
So , I use Nemus Launcher (It's the smoothest launcher for me) which has a notification function and can display notification bubbles in the top left hand corner of an APP in the homescreen.
My question is : How can I mod the APK of Nemus launcher in order to display the bubbles at the top right hand corner of an APP and IF POSSIBLE make it like iOS , I mean not completly on the application's icon but that is half in half out..
(Please look at the attached pic to see how it is..)
I know how to decompile an APK but to do what I described is beyond me :/
Please try to help me, Thanks !
