[Q] Make FB & Google black

I would like to know how to turn my deafult google search widget and my facebook widget to black and transparent

Pull the files with adb to your PC and edit them...
Then push it back...
Make sure debug is enabled and you have root

Use the common System application remove methods to remove stock Facebook and map. (tested myself no problem) then from the market install the version. Then those will behave like other 3rd party applications. No adb. Just modify your apk and install it back like other apps

everytime i replace a file like the bg color in the extracted folder and make it and .apk again when i try to install it i get an error if i extracted and make it again an .apk without changes works like a charm. So i don't know what's going wrong

You need to sign it look for auto-sign.zip on here and download place the edited apk in the unzipped auto sigb folder then run tge .bat file which will sign the apk and create a new cop called your_signed_app.apk

This is what i have done. I took the modified apk in zip type put it in the auto-sign folder and then rename it to update.zip. I then run the sign.bat and gives me the update_signed.zip. I install it to my phone successfully now but although the facebook application works fine the widget can't load.

keep it as .apk for unsigned and signed version dont have it as a zip, ive posted a thread with my adw with black google

i know that i am wasting your time but i searched the forum and i can't find something similar. Can you guide me how to modify and fix an .apk step by step if you have time ?

Im at work now il have a go tonight. If you attach the apj il try sign it for you. Took ne a few times to get a workubg auto sigb ckuld be that il post my one tonight. Excuse the typos swypes expires lol stock
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Here it is a simplify facebook black version. Please explain me if you have time how to sign the .apk files so i can do it my self.

I have signed the .apk and installed in the phone the application runs smootly but the widget can't load

[Metamorph]Swype theme

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755112
Hey guys! check that link above for swype themes! I just want to confirm that it will work on our SGS 4G. Use it by Metamorph if you don't have it download it from the market. You must have swype.apk in system/app to work!
Instructions:
1. Unzip the file.
2. Apply all.
3. Check to see if you have Swype in your Locale and text. And if you don't have it , you need to reboot.
4. Once it rebooted Check it again if you have already Swype in locale and text and select Swype.
*If it didn't work i recommend you to do the same thing again but,all you have to do is Pick existing Theme ,find the XML file and Apply it again.
* I tried it and it worked perfectly!
Credits to :hoey2011 for Swype theme.
Thank him.

I was wondering about that.

Works great thanks

Moved to proper forum.

I noticed that it says not to use metamorph for the trails. Can you confirm what you've done? did you just change out the word choice box, or were you able to change the trails and keyboard?

Restore it, via SEUS if bootloader is locked. If it's unlocked flash a system.img from the development section (if you flash a system.img that's based on the stock rom (nearly everythinh besides the cyanogenmod rom) you won't lose userdata).

if i just want the transparent home which file do i use?

Yer I reflashed it straight away and have got back to the same point just trying to work out what stopped it working, I'll try and get the theme on again and see if it works if it doesn't then it must be the theme that's breaking it!
EDIT: Just done the same thing as above and its crashed my phone again - none of my apps will load and everything force closes as soon as I launch it! I've only changed a couple of other things, but I reset my phone after making the last change and before adding the theme. It must be one of the steps in the theme that is messing it up. Stage 4 is always the one that seems to make things go wrong - could that make my phone crash?

Are ALL the permissions set right they should all be: rw-r--r--it should work no problem

Oh what? What did you do?

Editing downloaded TW themes.

I am using a theme that I downloaded from the theme store, however I wondering if there's any way to edit the downloaded theme. For example I am wanting to keep the stock touchwiz keyboard and still have everything else themed.

I would think you find the keyboard in secsettings2 or whatever file all the system core files are in from the stock theme, copy it and replace it with the themed keyboard apk, and don't forget to set permissions to rx-rx-r? That's my best bet. @SICKMADE ? Am I close?
Sent from my SM-N920T

There's an easy way around it. If you're applying theme from theme store, all you have to do is delete theme.input files
Any app that deletes .apk files, will work.
Example*
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roid.optimizer
Just find the .apk and delete than reboot. profit

Yeah I did something like that, after I found the file I added a .bak extention to the end making it a backup, rebooted, and I got my stock keyboard back.

All you have to do is use a root file manager like root browser then go into your data/app folder there you will find all the apps you have installed onto your device including every individual themed apk from whatever theme you downloaded and installed from Sammy theme store... if there is something that you don't like or want from a particular theme ie. Icons or keyboard just simply scroll until you see all the apps from the theme you installed and delete which ever themed app folder that you don't want. Hope that made some sense lol.

[MOD] Theme Store- How to keep your stock icons on any theme

*Dont you hate when you like a theme but hate the icons!!! I will give you a simple guide to download the theme you want and keep your stock icons
~Keep your stock icons for any theme~
*ROOTED REQUIRED*
*Please read complete guide*
*Make sure you are not using the theme you are applying this to! Apply a different theme while your editing this file!
1. Using a file explorer, go to data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson and find the theme you want to keep stock icons!
2. Open file and hit the edit button! Look for this line a little ways down:
"appicon":"com.cambunch.ThemeName.appicon",
and delete it! Save file and reboot!
3. Now you can go to theme store and apply that theme and have stock icons
***Also see post #10 for another simple guide thanks to @SICKMADE***
***This should work for any theme in userjson file, just follow same steps and remember to save and reboot before you apply theme!!!
***JUST HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME***
Screen shots of files and before and after:

Note 5 have to be root or not to work ??

Yes, because you will have to use a root file explorer! ES FILE Explorer etc.

Good work[emoji106] [emoji106]

Which one? Part 1 or 2?
If icons didnt stay stock, go back to the file you deleted the line and make sure it saved with that line deleted! It did that for me and when i went back and checked file, the line was still there and i re- deleted it, made sure i saved file and rebooted and it worked!

Hmmm, it works for me! Deleted that appicon line, saved then rebooted, applied theme and i have stock icons! Ive tried it on a few themes and all have worked!
Make sure that you do not have that theme currently applied! Apply another theme then go back and apply theme that you did that for!

All you have to do if you don't like any paticular part of a sammy theme is install a root file manager... I use root browser but what ever you choose as long as it uses root is fine... then once opened file manager navigate to the data/app folder. Here you will find every apk and or sammy theme that you have installed onto your device. Simply scroll down until you find the specific group of folders for which ever theme your wanting to remove a paticular part of ex. Accuweather, App Icons, etc. Once you've located the file you don't want to use with the theme anymore like the icons "themename.appicon-1" simply delete the folder and reboot and badaboom stock icons are back! I hope that made some sense lol

This is the best Thread ever !!! I always wanted this, thanks alot !!! Very Helpful

Would this mean we can transfer specific apk from one theme to another.

Yes you can.. I have just tried using a keyboard theme I like on different theme by just copy pasting corresponding lines from one to another.

This also allows you to change your icons to anything you want using the galaxy icon themer app in play store
