I am making myself a theme and was wondering if anybody knew which files changed these two things.
-Box when moving widgets
{
"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"
}
-Title background for folders (apps organizer)
Sorry I can't be more help immediately but I can tell you the green widget moving box will be a .9.png and will probably be pretty small.
Obvious places to start would be in the 2 framework apk's but they may well be somewhere in system/app too. I'd look in anything widget related (downloader, updater, etc) and I'd look in rosie.apk too..
again, sorry thats just a couple shots in the dark but I'd like to know too. I'll poke around some tonight and see if I can find them
Yeah I figured it was going to be a .9 file, probably 1px but I just can not find them.

Well it would probably be a minimum of 9x9, and it looks like it has rounded corners so maybe more than that. Also, both of these things might not be pngs. Could be simple xml drawings.
I was thinking maybe xml also. are there any good tutorials on how to edit the xml's?

Use APK manager to decompile the apk, it'll output readable/editable xml files. I don't have the link on me but a quick search in the forums will bring it up.
AwardTour, have you recompiled a framework apk with AppManager yet? I tried but kept getting an error when it got to the manifest.
OP, here is a link to Apk_Manager_4.8. I can't offer any advice on editing xml, yet.. I just decompiled and saw a readable xml for the first time a couple days ago it was cool
apktool
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
makes altering apks a snap.
I have looked around in the XML's and png and still can not find these for the life of me. I have a few more I can not find either. Any help on any of these would be greatly appreciated.
1- Progress bar
2- Calendar Item Color
3- Phone Highlight Color

I could really use some help with this theme I am working on for CyanogenMod.
This is my first attempt at theming so be gentle.
First off, this is based off jonnybueno's HexusOne? Theme in fact it is basically the same exact theme except blue instead of black and white. It still took quite a bit of work to change basically every img in it to blue. I will also be changing pretty much everything but I wanted to start somewhere.
Here is some screen shots of the Theme, it is gonna be called NexBlue:
{
"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"
}
The problem I am having is that I could really use some help with .9.png files if someone could help. Before you say it I have read the other threads about how to do it. In fact I tried following the instructions in a couple threads but I must have done something wrong because it didn't work. It works fine if I remove all the .9.png files out of my theme but of course there is stuff missing that is the wrong color if I do it that way.
Here is some examples of the screwed up .9.png files:
It is a MetaMorph at the moment so if anyone could take a look at it and help me out here is the link.
NexBlue_Ver_1.0
THIS IS NOT A WORKING THEME!!! DO NOT MORPH/FLASH THIS TO YOUR PHONE IT WILL MAKE SEVERAL PROGRAMS FC!!! IF YOU NEED TO MORPH/FLASH THIS ON YOUR PHONE TO HELP, MAKE SURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
As far as FC's go, since you are taking a theme and recreating it blue, there is one thing, you cannot do that to all images. Some .9's that is fine, but there are others that you cannot simply just change the color, they need to be reprocessed using eclipse.
Off hand active_title_bar.9.png is one of them. There are others. So first step is separate the .9's from the regular png's. Pay attention to what you replace so you can retrace your steps and find what you can and cannot simply change the color on.
Yeah, I know what your talking about. What I am really trying to figure out though is how to change a. 9.PNG correctly without messing up something.
I never drew (err drawededed... its late and I'm feeling speech impaired) guidelines for the .9s in hexus one. I've found that if you size your .9s to the minimum size android stretches them, you don't need to run them through eclipse. Finding out what size that is, has somewhat eluded me though.
That would fix your widget problem. For your buttons and other stuff, here's what I would do:
Download the original .9 from cyanogens github. Take your modified .9 and copy it within the guidelines of the source .9(which should have guidelines already =D) then make sure your guides are definitely FF000000 black, then run it through eclipse.
That's the lazy jonnybueno way of making half themes.
Thanks, I will give that a try.
This is a Morph file for CM 5.0.6.
The icon is a guy being sucked up into a UFO when a file is being downloaded or uploaded.
Downloads = Green beam
Uploads = Red beam

Do you have any screenshots available?
Not currently, I have to reinstall the SDK on my comp and I have been too lazy to do it. I will try to get some up...
Really neat and original. Will try these out in a bit.
You have a bunch of additional files in the morph. Aren't only the 12 .pngs needed?
Make sure you add it to the Morphs thread.
edit: trying it down, downloading earth-live wallpaper (its big) to see it

I am counting only 12. Are you sure you're looking at the right thing?

Think he's referring to the layout and xml folders (that have files in them) that probably don't need to be included.

Ahh... thanks for pointing that out. I will try to figure out what is necessary (still learning) and take out what I don't need. Thanks again.
One more thing, in both upload/download cases the stick person is seen moving up to the ship.
I renamed the 6 download images so that the guy moves downward for downloads and upward for uploads. (attached for convenience)

Small preview of the theme I working
I have also % of battery and trackball wakeup (thanks to eug89 for compile java)
that top grey part is called title_bar_portrait.9.png and is located on framework-res.apk. the part you want to make transparent is called status_bar_background.png and is also located in framework-res.apk
not sure if you have edited .9.pngd before but it you have to do more than just replace the image for it to look right. also im not sure if that part can be made transparent in froyo as i am currently having trouble with it. however if your making the theme for CM just adjust the transparency in photoshop, gimp etc
hope that helped
Have anybody get the status_bar_background.png transparent on FroYo ROMS?
Ok.
So the problem is froyo

i dont think so. froyo doesnt seem to allow the image to have any transparency
Theres a Xeudoxus app that patches services.jar to enable that transparency. Didn't find exact details as too which particular file (s) are affects (for morphs). I hate when people do that (hiding details ), I will investigate after work.
For more info see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703
Thanks Britoso.
Now I have the theme with transparent.
Now I have to fix the bar "Notification" because are also trasparent.
Also I have to investigate why It have some crash when I use metamorth for apply theme.
edit.
perfect all I want.
I have only investigate for crash when using metamorph.
Thx britoso from that other thread and xuedoxus for the app
finally got it working on my theme(frf91)
pretty cool theme!
... the one that shows after an app has been installed from the market succesfully. I believe stock shows it as a down arrow on top of a couple of lines. Some ROMs show the Android Market symbol. Myn's latest twoPOINTtwo has this big, plain oversized checkmark and I'm trying to replace it... but I cannot find out which one this is for the life of me...
Thanks for your help.

I don't remember the exact name of it, but its in the Vending.apk not the framework. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Ahh.... I see. Thanks for that - I should be able to find it now. I've been sifting through the framework and resources APKs forever!
If you are tlaking about the download arrow

}
, that is in framework-res.apk
Not the actual downloading arrow (or series of them) but the icon that remains there after the download has been completed and the app is installed.
I just found it, thanks to the above help. It's called "stat_sys_install_complete.png" and was located in "system\app\Vending\res\drawable-hdpi". I would never have looked there.
Related question - in cases like this, is there an easy way to just replace this single icon? Like maybe with root explorer or does it require a full out replacement in the APK package and complete reflash? I really don't feel like reflashing the entire ROM just for a few changes like this and would rather just make a mental note to repackage future ROMs.
Ninjamorph should do it

This maybe not be in the styles xml. This could be in a few places. Check the colors folder and the layout folder. And depending on what it is calling it maybe calling it from the framework files and not the contacts apk.

Yes I know it is in the framework-res.apk.. And you're right it could also be somewhere in layout.. But I can't seem to figure out which xml. I already did the necessary editing on select_dialog_item.xml, select_dialog_singlechoice.xml and select_dialog_multichoice.xml.. It could perhaps be still in styles.xml.. Will someone tell me where?

The problem is that depending on the rom it is in a deifferent place and refered to differently.
Have you looked in the contacts apks and tried to track it down that way?

Thanks for the help.. Yeah I'm looking into contacts.apk now.. Still can't seem to find it though.. It could also be in Settings.apk(not sure).. Can't find it either.. But I believe it something that has something to do with selecting a ACCOUNT...
