HTC Dialer smart dial highlight color - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Well, here we go again. What I want is to change the color of the green highlight when typing in the dialer. You know, the green highlight over the contacts. I have been looking through all xml's and smali files in HtcDialer.apk, but didn't find anything obvious.
Anyone?

No. 10char booyah!

I'd really like to know the secret there. Just point me in the right direction. Like the name of a smali or such.

No secrets, it was pretty simple, and right under your nose the whole time, just not obvious given the naming in the XML.
If you look at 'res\values\colors.xml' in HtcDialer.apk, you will see:
color_search_highlight_white
color_search_highlight_black
__search_highlight_white
__search_highlight_black
While "search" and "highlight" seem correct, as soon as you see "black" and "white", you'd likely think that can't be it, the color I'm looking for is green-ish.
However, if you look at the RGB values set, for ALL of these entities, they're the SAME!
#ff7fb118
Well, certainly, black and white can't have the same RGB value, and I could tell by looking at the value set, just by the numbers, that it is a darker color, that is neither white or black.
So, I plugged the values into the color picker in Photoshop, and lo-and-behold, it was "green-ish". So I changed them, in the above example, to red, and it worked.
So there you have it. Just change these values referenced above to the color you want, and you are off to the races.

my dialer apk doesn't have that same structure.....hmm what am i not doing right?

I've got no colors.xml in mine. apktool threw some error when decompiling, but I didn't take notice of it.
EDIT: APK Manager took care of it. Now I got it fully decompiled. Thanks again JsChiSurf.

Or you can just open up the arsc file in HxD and search for the color code that JsChiSurf found, and replace it with the color code you want. That's what I plan on doing. No need to decompile...at least...i think not.

Looks like apk manager worked as I found the string.
I did try and find the color code in resources.arsc but didn't see anything there. Was probably doing something wrong, but still curious what.

When searching for code in xml files you need to switch the order of your code. Don't just flip the code... but swap the order of the pairs. Like this:
Was: A1 B1 C1 D1
search for: D1 C1 B1 D1

Clear "Power Control Widget

Anyone know where can I might find an update.zip for a clear/ transparent power control widget? I've used the infamous search button and pm'ed people that had it in their themes to no avail.

Settings.apk. Koni has a clear version in his ROM that you can yank. However, the actual background itself is in com.htc.resources.apk. All the other icons are in Settings.apk. Oh, and the background is a .9 png, 'appwidget_bg.9.png'.

ive never really looked for it cause i dont use it but if i had to guess it is in the htcsettingswidgets.apk as well as some of the framework files or htc resources files to make some of the backgrounds transparent
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6247124&postcount=1278
There's a theme with it. I asked about it a while ago but never really followed up. I'd like this as well.
where's the background and buttons for the android (not htc) search widget? I think I found it in framework-res.apk, but I still couldn't find the red g in the button at the end, just the google in the text field.
let me know if this works

That's not the power control widget. At least not as it is classically known.
This is what I am assuming he is referring to (but I could certainly be wrong):

Which, as mentioned, is Settings.apk, spread across com.htc.resources.apk (for the background).

gotcha my bad. i looked in the settings.apk and thought about doing it that way but if i went into resources and made all those transparent then they would be stuck with the htcresources file that i choose and will lose it if he flashes anything new really

I know. That sucks. It's actually just 1 file in htcresources, the background for the widget.
The best way is either to either have them manually edit, or create a MetaMorph, so that it doesn't affect other settings.
I'm really starting to think that MetaMorph is the way to go, given the way HTC has the 2.1 framework spread out all over the place...
that's the beauty if doing metamoprh... you can change just the files you want within an apk or a jar, without changing anything else. And it's breeze to setup, much easier than an update zip, I think.

Yep, thats it. Thanks for finding it. Either that or the one in the theme Devinxtreme posted ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6247124&postcount=1278 ) would be great, just something to that did not obstruct the background as much.
I have no experience actually doing/editing this stuff, but this is getting me curious. If I was to try this on my own, I guess I wouldnt know what to do after I pulled the HtcSettingsWidget.apk out of my rom of choice. What prog would I even use to open it on my computer and edit it?

HtcSettingsWidget.apk is the wrong file. You're looking for Settings.apk. The HTC one is for the little rocker panel style widgets.
Also, you can configure WinZip to open .apks. Then its just a matter of editing .pngs.
That widget is from Konicub's Aloysius rom. You should contact him directly and ask for it.

we determined it wouldnt be possible to do without replacing his htcResources file completely cause there is a background file in there that needs to be changed. if he wants to post is hycResources file then i would be happy to create a flashable zip that will give him the clear power settings. but if he ever flashes a theme or different mod then he would lose it cause most of the mods and themes change the and once u change the file u lose what ever was changed in it before. the only way to avoid this is to create a metamorph file and i dont mess with that much.
I'll have ya a metamoprh either later tonight or tomorrow, depending on how busy I am today.
okay, put together quick, let me know if it works. It is a metamorph, not a flash, so won't change anything else.

Question for themers...how do I change...

So...I'm working on the next version of my Thearmo Theme, but I can't seem to find out how to change the green highlights that pop up around an icon when you long press it to move it around on your home screen. (See screen shot for reference) View attachment 329527 (except that one has blue highlights).
I have edited all the pngs already, so I think it must be in one of the .xml files.
Does anybody know where it is and how to change it? (I want to change it from green to blue). Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
(Resolved: It's in the rosie arsc file)
Another question 5/30:
How do I change the colors of the highlights in the HTC dialer when it is suggesting a person? When you dial a few numbers, it highlights any person with those numbers or letters in their contact info...where is this file located? I searched the xmls in the phone apk and the htc dialer apk, but couldn't find any green.
Does anyone know where to find these?
really? no one knows?

it's colors.xml in /res/values/ in Rosie.apk. The value you need to change is 'cell_layout_drop_cell_color'.

I found it by trial and error when I did my theme. It was quite annoying that it kept being green when everything else was blue.
You wouldn't by any chance know how to change the color of the green line in the pattern unlock, do you? The one that appears when drawing the pattern.

No, I'm sorry...I've never edited the old vanilla lockscreen. I even did a search for you and couldn't find any that used a different color besides green.

Lol, right place at the right time.
To be fair, I'm pretty familiar with a lot of the code surrounding lockscreens, etc, and as such, when I just saw this post, I went digging. I've viewed the XML for the PatternUnlock before, and knew from this that the specifics for the PatternUnlock are NOT in XML at all, since, when I saw the XML I could see that the PatternUnlock is an internal Android widget.
What this tells you is that the color is "likely" controlled in the smali code, and since widgets are written into the framework.jar file, this is where I went looking.
Sure enough, after decompiling, if you look at the file LockPatternView.smali, you will see references to:
CORRECT_COLOR
WRONG_COLOR
set to their respective values, and as usual, represented by a bitwise shifted color value.
If you then search out and replace the values you see these 2 variables set to throughout the file to your desired bitwise shifted colors, recompile, and drop back onto your phone, you will be good to go.
@jsChiSurf - You are a genius.
Unfortunately, I'm just learning all this stuff, and I still haven't had any success at changing the long press icon highlights to blue. Thanks to cbarlan, today I learned how to work with xml files...but I don't know how to decompile stuff yet. I heard that the apk tools thing is where it's at, but I don't know how to work with it. Too much to learn...not enough time.

When / if you see someone reference XML as part of, for example, the '/res/values' folder, ultimately, this means it gets compiled into the 'resources.arsc' file in the root of the apk.
Therefore, if we know the default is green, if you pull open the 'resources.arsc' file in a hex-editor, and search for green in the hex (in reverse BGRA), you would search for:
1C 00 FF 00 FF
If you want it to be blue, switch it to:
1C FF 00 00 FF
Save the file, drop it back into the apk, and you are good to go.

Wait...I don't have to decompile the arsc file? I can just open it in the hex editor as if it is an xml file? So I don't even need to use apk tools?

You're going to leave the right-most & left-most values the same.
So (and your reference above is off just a bit), as the default value for green is:
1C 00 FF 00 FF
Which would be switched to:
1C D1 CE 00 FF
That's it! A 10 second change and you are done.

(Updated 7/22/2010!)Droid X multitouch keyboard 2.1 addition

This is just a small mod someone posted they wanted, when the keyboard was first released, for Evo. They wanted the highlight to be green, so I made it green. As far as speed, I can't increase anything to make you type faster. In my opinion I type faster on this key board with less mistakes.

Yea i noticed that as well, and if its possible, can i ask for a small persona change to it? Id do it myself but have no idea how Id love the highlight color to be blood red, im trying to make a theme for my phone with that color.
and by the way, i took HTML and this looks a lot like it, if you want send me the files via PM and ill see if i can work on it. I CAN'T guarantee because i dont know how to test it.

I'm trying to make the buttons and background black. It's my understanding (from modding the Omnia keyboard, on windows mobile) that xml files control the color of the letter on the keyboard. If it is like Windows, then there is a string in one of the xml documents. Inside the apk there are different xml documents, just can't figure the right one out, and what would control what.

That is the one I moddded if I am not mistaken? I will install the one you just posted, and edit this post with my findings
EDIT:Ok that was different. Must have over looked the one that has vibration able to use. Right now I'm working on a couple skins for some widgets/programs. Once I am done I will mod it for you and update first post with it

I downloaded this through my phone, but it doesn't install. Says something about "no program to open this file". Is this supposed to install as simply as other apk's, or am I going about this wrong? I would love to have haptic feedback within the multitouch keyboard if possible.
thanks

It downloaded and installed fine, via computer.

[REQ] Please theme this widget!

This is a bonus HTC Tasks widget included in the latest Fresh build (3.1.0.1.). The yellow is awful. Can someone make this transparent or at least black and white?

Lol. Best To-Do list I've probably ever seen.
Alright, done quickly. It has a black background set at 25% transparency. Hopefully this will work for you. I have not tested this yet since I don't have Sense on my phone. If it doesn't work let me know and I will fix it.
EDIT: I just realized it may look funny. I will make it better looking when I wake up in the morning. If you really want 100% transparency that should be easy to do.

Thanks faster3200! Transparency looks good. Can't see the text because it's still black. Can you make the header and body text white?
wall paper please ~!!!!! !!
Wow, for some reason I couldn't find this thread again. Sorry for the delay in response.
I'll try and change the text color, if I can't get that to work I will change the bg to a translucent white.
UPDATE: Ok so for some reason I can't change the task text color. I know where and how to change it, I just can't for some reason (changing it does nothing). I can change the text color of everything else, just not the tasks. I have no idea why that is. So for now I just changed the bg and made the page number text darker. You should be able to view it perfectly now.

Works great! Good Job1
I can not get either APK to install. What am I doing wrong?
Running stock rom, rooted with Unrevoked 3.21
How are you trying to install it?
I'm haven't tried this apk but most likely it has not been resigned in which case you will need to push it to /system/app/ either through adb or with an app like root explorer.
I have tried placing it in system/app and install with root explorer. When I just push it into system/app it never becomes available as a widget. When I try with root explorer, it goes through the install process and then at the end says Install Failed.
If you place it into /system/app/ you do not need to "install." you should simply have to reboot the phone and it should work.
Edit: nevermind.
Yeah, I dont try to install if I push into system/app. But even after a reboot, the widget isnt there. :-(

Can someone help me get the tasks widget on my Inc? Put it in system/app with root explorer, rebooted, not showing up in widgets. Normally there are a lot of things that work on both phones....

I did get the highest permission and also pushed it to system/app, then reboot. It appeared on system/app but still can't find this widget on the htc widget list.....
I am not sure if this application may need an .odex as I found most of the other widgets have .odex doc after the application.
Can you help to confirm if my assumption is correct and how to create an .odex file?
Thanks

I know where it is, its the same one for Battery Usage, but there is just one problem. I'll tell you later, I have a class now.
Nice, lets crack this nutt
Noticed Nexus S have a black version of Manage applications/battery use/Running services/Mem usage
..so guess im on a Rom hunt for now
In Settings/res/value/style.xml change:
<style name="NoTitleWhiteStyle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:listViewStyle">@android:style/Widget.ListView.White</item>
to
<style name="NoTitleWhiteStyle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black">
<item name="android:listViewStyle">@android:style/Widget.ListView</item>
You can see the problem in the pictures.

Yes I see, the text is all shadow, but how did the white appear in "Running" tab, You ex already edited the running_processes_item.xml.xml?
EDIT: the 3 to color android:textColor="#ffffffff"
fixes Running tab
manage_applications_item.xml
EDIT : the 2 to color android:textColor="#ffffffff"
fixes the size in the remaning tabs
But the App label is no where to be found..might be in settingsprovider??
Great work man! not much left to edit
Want to take a swing at this?
Like the way MIUI has the bottom QuickSettings. i manage to move the music&call since it was easy, but the rest is above my head for now.

Good job with colors.
I will look into into it to find the app lables color.
As the bottom quickpanel I have no idea
I just know how to make those bars (sliders) thiner.
The lables color is in the framework, in value/colors.xml, but if you change the color from there it changes oher black colors insome other parts, too. So I need to find the source. of them which is in layout and change the color one by one until I find the right one.

Thanks mate.
We can't change the color to white, because it changes colors of some other parts, too. They have same value. You can see it in picture 1 and 2.
The best thing we can do is those two last pictures.
I'm looking for the colors of the "Running" tab, because it's white and different than other tab. At least we can make all the tabs the same.
I understand its defined by the framework. Change a global setting it spreads down the lane.
so the manage_application_item gets served a color from the colors.xml but where is this defined in the layout? does it mean that black is already defined for the @id/app_name in the framework? this will be difficult to override without redoing earlier changes, which ends in yet a new design, brilliant! its a good discovery maybe a right one as well haha
keep cookin ;
oh the blue subtext looked cooler than white.

Sorry I made a mistake, it's not in the layout, it's in "framework-res.apk/res/color/primary_text_light.xml" and "framework-res.apk/res/color/secondary_text_light.xml"
BTW, there is another problem. Changing the color of the Running tab changes other colors, including the clock on the satatus bar and other fonts on satus bar like Media Scanning and even the clock on the lock screen.
but the white text in the first picture Running tab you only change the main theme to black, and the white text was there correct?

Yes, It's white but the other tabs are gray and because of that I wanted to change the color to gray like the other tabs but it changes some other thigns.
The right value for Running tab is in framework-res.apk\res\color\primary_text_dark.xml.
I think this is the best think we can make considering those problems that we talked about.
I've attached both framework-res.apk and Settings.apk, if you want to try it.
