I've noticed that with some mods and themes it'll create a submenu when you select to change wallpaper or icons. I've began to create my own version of some text icons and I was wondering if there's a way and how to go about creating a submenu for them. Additionally, how would I then prevent these images from showing up in the Gallery of pics on my phone?
An example would be the Cyanogen backgrounds. There's a submenu when you change wallpapers, but the images don't show up in the gallery.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
*bump*
any ideas?
It's an app, cyanogenmod had an app created and that's how they do it lostEden in the G1 forums knows how to manipulate it that's how I got my wallpaper gallery

I'd like to change the background of system app and notification area with Transparency...
For system app like phone, contacts, setting...
We can change the background as we change semc_bg.png and semc_general_bg.png in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.
But NO Transparency~~!!!!
For notification area, I tried to change shade_bg.png in SystemUI.apk But Nothing changed.
Could you somebody helpl me what xml and attribute I should modify for this two transparency~~??
All the files are in framework-res.apk/res only edit framework apk for appearance.
Its usually named notification some thing something.png so look around the res files.
By the way what rom are you using? If its miui its simple =)

Hi - Where's the semcgenericuxpres.apk file...?? I can't find it!!.. changed the images in framework-res.apk and that works fine.. but I can't find the other file! So I've got a new background in the menus and for calc and calendar.. but not for phone and contacts list.. do they have their own bg?
Howdy mate i figured out how to make the background transperant in Wolfs CM6,

Hi everybody,
I try to change the background colour of the list menu:
My reserach in the internet point to framework-res.apk
color.xml
/res/values/style.xml
and so on.
These files are not available on the G3, so I really have no clue which xml is responsible for the background colour of the menue list.
Does anybody have a hint?
Cheers

i believe you can find them @ twframework-res.apk
If you are using the ADW launcher, i think you may have to mod the actual launcher apk. Not sure since i have never themed myself
its not an XML, but
menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
is responsible
A quick question for any advanced themers out there...
I am working on a custom theme for the AOSP Messaging application. I have successfully edited everything in the app EXCEPT for the holo background, which I would like to change. Specifically I want to make the Holo gradient disappear and instead have a solid color that I define. Is it possible to set the background of the APK without having to change the framework-res.apk? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks!

I was only able to change the background by changing the png in framework-res. That's the place I think it gets it from. It took me a while to theme the Mms.apk the way I wanted to. That was before the developers for CM made it more themer friendly in recent builds. I changed a lot of stuff around in layouts that's now located all in colors.xml.
Hi guys,
here are the deodexed versions of Phone.apk and Contacs.apk - I modded them to fit the Holo style a little bit more.
The "unknown" icon is a little bit difficult to fit the right grey tone, as the same icon is used in both dark and light screens (phone is dark, contacts is light) - I used the same icon as in my Messaging.apk mod.
Copy the apk's to /system/app - set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and delete the corresponding *.odex file if you have an odexed system.
If you want the new dial pad, you MUST use both files, as the phone uses the resources from Contacts.apk. Enjoy!
Think of a backup first!
Thanks looks good.. No chance to invert phone book?

Thanks, the apps look nice. By the way, the content of the Phone.apk is not changed, I mean it is still crippled Motorola's one not the AOSP? If so is it possible to replace it with AOSP or attaching the Internet calling part?

It is But for me it works good, I have no need for AOSP one. What advantage does the AOSP dialer have?
@wozn: regarding theming Contacs.apk: AOSP is light, too, and personally I like that. It is not that simple to change all xml's and resources, much fiddling around. Maybe some other wants to do that?
I would love to see a dialer like the one on xperia ray on my razr i. I loved it much more.
Thank you so much Shaftenberg for all the mods you have posted. Extremely slick near original AOSP look. Finally we get rid of the horribly customized Motorola style.
Maybe you could also change the launcher-icons of these APKs to the AOSP versions.
Also theres also still some ugly in app icons.
- If I hit the search button in either dialer or contacts I see an extremely ugly icon in the upper left corner (motorola contacts icon with a magnifying glass on it).
- In the phone app on the favourites view theres still the grey motorola "people"symbol instead of the stylized smiling AOSP face
These seem to be the last remains of the Motorola look.

Maybe try another launcher (Nova, Apex, ...)? You can customize yourself. Personally I don't like the AOSP icons for dialer (blue phone? bah...), so this is the place, where everyone can do it for his needs easily.

No, I don't have Moto icons there, only dark and light AOSP faces?! Sure you changed phone.apk and contacts.apk together?
Yes I changed both together. I added a screenshot to see what I mean. The grey silhouette of a head instead of the AOSP stylized symbol.
Yes, I already changed the icons in Nova Launcher, but I still can see the green dialpad inside the apps because the resource inside is not changed.
So this is no demand to change these things, but maybe you also would like to have a consistent look.
The small icons are Moto yes, but the faces are already AOSP
In Contacts they are dark grey, because AOSP-Contacts has a light theme. The phone.apk uses this resource from contacts too, unfortunately.
