Skin the Dialer Please !!!! - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Is there a way to remove this white thing circled in the attached pic? Wanted at least to try it, it would make the dialer have a much more "unified" feeling to it, it would be excelent!

I agree...that white glow is annoying.

What ROM are you on? Or, use some root explorer and send me yor Phone.apk in system/app. I'll take it out for you.

^There are 3 pngs you'll need to change...

I am currently on Wolfbreak's Cyanogen v06. Will upload it as soon as I get back from class.

Ok wait. You're on the same rom as me, so o can just use my apks here. Do you want to keep the blue or would you be okay with black?

If you want blue I can make one I'm a jiffy (if I'm not at work).
Jill have to go in an hour though, so I'll have to edit to make our for us. Ill pm once I know which color you want.

Although I'm sure many want the black one as well, can you make a blue one please?

@realorasz;
could you change the incall picture in wolfs v06?
it would be sooo nice if the picture is not in the middle of the screen, but as in the stock se 2.1 covering the whole top of the screen..
incall picture looks so ugly in custom roms, SE's was better

I love the blue dialer, I like black as well, but under daylight it's not possible to see the details on the black dialer, that's why I preffer blue, so please, make a blue one =D
And if you can try to modify the picture as the guys said, dunno which I preffer, so upload both so we can test!
=D =D =D

Can any one help?

Yeah the picture I'm pretty sure I can't modify. Sorry. I might be able to make the 2.1 version work, but i'd need a copy. from SENPITERNAL's Eternity ROM, in my case, because im running freekernel. bb52 and all that. SEMP's ROM is the only one left running bb52 on eclair

Why can't this be modified?

I'm but saying out cant be, but I myself can't do it.

Most theming just involves switching out images. This would require changing and/or adding xmls & possibly resource files.
It is possible, just not easy. ( I wouldn't know where to start...)

Is this issue resolved?
If not I can help you guys out....
Pls upload the apk and mention what specific ROM this is using...
And let me know after removing that white section, how you want to get noticed that typing mode is active or inactive.
Cheers.........

Typing Mode means, Observe what happen when you do,
1. Go to dialer see the white section where you want to remove.
2. Press any dial pad number and see that section change its look.
Tell me in both situations how you want it to look like, Then i will customize it that way.........

That part is done I think, they were talking about moving the in-call contact picture to the top like in 2.1..

I want it to be removed in both situations, there's no need to indicate that I'm typing anything, I know I am, and the numbers on the line also tell me that
So I want it transparent all the time! It will just look so much better, much more uniform.
And thenk you for your effort!

SMS Skins by me

These are also located in astronouts thread up top but i thought I'd repost them here, these are the sms skins I have personally converted to work on the HTC Mega. I do not claim to have created any of them, I just re-wrote the css's and edited the images to run on our fantastic phone.
If it doesnt work, uninstall then install SDKCerts and reinstall your chosen skin

Heres a new one:

also added to the first post. I'll add more as I make them, I'm working on an animated skin at the minute, the key is to make it animated while not slowing the system down.
I'll post it here when its done.
Thanks you !
I've take OBlue recoloured !
Good job !
Glad you like it dude.
The animated skin is coming along nicely but re-writing the css files the way I want is harder than I expected.
Can you make an iphone type based on light blue background with white and grey (or light yellow) text boxes? Sounds boring but I like a clean version.
Thanks
yeah, just boxes or speechbubbles? lighter blue than the default iphone theme?
Speech bubbles are ok.....lighter blue indeed than default iphone and white or light yellow instead of the green
Even the glossy can be removed......
Thanks....

I'll get working on it after ive finished my current skin, wont take 10 minutes.
don't know why
Hi, After I installed, it doesn't work well. Is there something wrong? I installed Minishhippo_Iphone skin first. Then I restart. Nothing changed. So I install sdkCerts again. and I reinstall Minishhippo_Iphone skin. Still not working. Please give me a guide line. Thanks.

Is this theme still available? It's probably the best I've seen; however, every time I click the link, I get a 404 error.
Thanks.
I would like to show my interest as well. However it may need to be update for the new builds to be compatible :/ Not sure though. But it is a great looking theme
try this

You are the man.
Thanks so much. The download link worked. Only 2 questions. My lockscreen doesn't look like the one in the picture. Do I have to get it elsewhere? Also, the taskbar doesn't have the colors of yours. Any help?
Thanks again.
Theme looks awesome!
SMS
Sorry to be a pain. Just have one more thing - the txt message section doesn't come up with the same format. It's still the original (no blue or bubbles).
Thanks again.

Got it. My issue is a bit different. The status bar at the top in the photos at the beginning of the thread have a blue signal strength meter as well as blue wi-fi. Mine are still green. Also, the sms/txt section appears with blue bubbles on a bluish gray background. Mine are still the original yellow/grey.
I have noticed that some of the menu buttons are unreadable (appear to be black on black). I haven't started identifying them yet.
Yea a couple weeks ago alot of things changed in miui and all the themes had to change to become compatible. That being said I love this theme so please try to update it. Keep up the good work Mr.DSL

[Downloads] Dialer Skins! - Should work on ANY ROM!

Introduction​
Based on the incredible support I received from my other thread, I decided to create this one for people to share their modified dialers, I'll be updating this post as soon as new dialers are posted. Special thanks to Shiwantha and gil2004xp, which helped me alot, but not forgetting Realorasz, who also helped.
I ask you to post the Dialers in a .zip format to be installed through xRecovery custom's zip method, it is easier to change to other dialers this way, installing apks was giving me errors.
I will test all dialers before posting them here.
It should now be possible to use the dialers found here with any ROM, even with those which come with a different dialer than Sony Ericsson's. But for this to happen you must install one of the Infinity Views found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14605373#post14605373
If you want to post a new dialer, please, post a screenshot too, and give it a name
Method for changing dialer:
1. Delete contacts.apk in \system\app\ folder (I use root explorer to do it)
2. Reboot to xRecovery and clear dalvik cache
3. Install new contacts.zip with xRecovery then reboot

Hope you enjoy this guys, and please, share your work too!
For me it would be great if we could customize every little part of our phone, not needing to download complete themes, but creating our own based on individual parts!
Reserved for future updates.
Red dialer added. Sorry it took so long, but I've been very busy recently. Hope someone posts here, as it would be good to motivate me to continue my work.
thx very good idea ;D

I did it this way so it's easier to see which screen belongs to each download, and cus I plan on adding alot of new dialers, and it would be confusing if screens were attachments.

Glad it worked. But hey, I Thought Trip didn't use SE's stock dialer. Does he have a 2.2 stock? Thought he only had 2.2 MIUI
And can you people see the screenshots normally?
nice ... thanx
Green Dialer added. This was a tricky one, the gradients ended up looking weird a lot of times, but I managed to make it look interesting. Green Dialer's zip also packs a modified icon, which has a green button in the middle intead of the original blue one. This will happen to also new dialers I add. I will make some more changing the color, I plan on adding Pink, Brown, Black, Yellow and Orange. After that I'll change the background and some other things. Have some very interesting ideas.
As requested previously, I added all the screenshots as attachments too, in the order their download links are on the first post. This means 1 screenshot is for the first link and so on. Glad you are enjoying.
was wating for this thanks alot

Transparency-Mods Dialer
Howdy All,
As requested in my theme thread, here is my Transperancy-Mods Dialer / Contacts app.
ive attached 2 files
First one is ONLY the contacts.apk,
http://www.mediafire.com/?uu5ged5u8t645do
Second is the Conctacts app and the infiniteview app, as i thought it all looked funny without it.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1ckzd9lzcyjb38m
as this is a work in progress, and i'll try to keep this updated. but cant garentee anything.
Also some of the images used in the contacts app are from the framework-res, so the ss may be a little bit different for you only the phone in the recent calls i have found so far....
Normal disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible if you break your phone ect ect. oh and please dont mirror my files

Thank you, will test it and put on first post tomorrow!

Sense Theme: "Sense and Sensibility" [v .1]

Sense and Sensibility Alpha
Alright guys, here it is! This is an ALPHA version of a theme called "Sense and Sensibility." This isn't just to look like sense. The graphics were taken directly from stock sense.
TAKE NOTE: Tested on CM7. SHOULD work on most ROMS but who knows. So BACKUP!
Instructions:
1. Boot into CWM
2. BACKUP
3. Flash SenseSensibility.zip
4. Reboot/Rejoice
Any requests for things to be themed (sense-styled of course) can be made and most likely will be implemented considering I've never owned a Sense phone and don't know what is themed where.
I'd love if someone could tell me where I could change the color of the text in the menu button popup.
Downloads:
v .1: Click me
Themed things:
Header of lists (settings, messaging, etc)
Tabs (dialer etc)
Long press homescreen popup
Power off menu popup
Battery
Checkboxes
Menu button
Selection (turns a nice green) (pictured)
Loading animation popup (spinning circle)
Text box/text box highlight
Send button (SMS)
Text selectors
LOTS MORE (If I forgot any, let me know)
Things to look forward to:
Status bar
Fix menubutton background to make text readable
Dialer!
Widgets?
Make it more Sense-like.​

Yeah haha. It's in alpha stage and it's mostly minor enhancements (so far). I also themed when you press down to select something. The major things I'd like to incorporate are a sense dock and lockscreen. These are mostly UI tweaks.
****. im learning. I'm basically taking a sense ROM and porting (copy paste ) the GUI. I'm working on it and just wanted to share what I have so far.
keep at it bro you'll get it...
I see what you did there... "add sensibility to dictionary?" made me lol. But anyways nice theme I like the ginger-sense mix especially all the dark gingerbread with the light greys of sense

I would love some help. You can flash it and see for yourself, but when you hit the menu button the text of the menu popup cant be read because the menu background is too bright. Do you know I can change the font colour of the menu popup? Haha. Either that or i'll have to edit every menu icon in photoshop and add a title below it
You want to look in framework-res/res/values/colors.xml...you will see the colors for various text, whether its bright or dim text, set against bright or dark background. Remember though, unless you made the change to the textApearance values already, then the background color you would consider will be what it still thinks it is. So my guess would be, maybe dim_foreground_dark

Crap. Im not much for decompiling.
Mr Hat,
I tried this theme with TWO different ROMS (Faux AOSP 1.3.1 and Weapon G2X 2.5)
The after flashing the theme in Recovery and rebooting, I got stuck in the bootloader screen-loop in both roms.
Luckily, I read your instruction and made a backup. Anything else I can try? Do you have a ROM that you recommend other that what I'm using.
First of all, Weapon is a rom based on 2.3.3...this theme is not for that rom. I suggest you do some more reading on the different android versions and the impact on choices of roms, kernels, themes, etc.

Hey man, I recommend you browse this a bit. It goes way in depth to theming.

Decompiling is really easy if you use a GUI like APK Manager, and I use EditPad lite for xml files. Good luck with it; I got burnt out on theming quickly.
i like how poeple are quick to flame you and then they read your post then have to edit. keep up your work. look forward to how this develops.

First of all, Weapon is a rom based on 2.3.3...this theme is not for that rom. I suggest you do some more reading on the different android versions and the impact on choices of roms, kernels, themes, etc.

Thank you for the heads up. I guess I didn't do enough homework.
Mind sharing which ROM you're using? Or maybe toss out a couple ideas? It'd be much appreciated.
Of someone can send me a thorough set of screenshots of what Sense looks like in most aspects of the ui, I will make something happen. Pm me when you have something for me, and I'll give an email to send it.

Blegh, development is probably gonna be slow/might not come. I need to focus on my academics.

[WIP] Inverted MMS [Sense 1.0 Gingerbread]

Let me start off saying that this is still a work in progress. With that said it is still fully functional. The only thing I'm having trouble finding is the new message button, which remains black text on a black backround. If anyone has any clues where to find it.. please do share...
Thank you to JSChiSurf for making the original version for froyo..
Thank you Tommy Tomatoe for making things easier with your awesome android utility!
Also thanks to Gruesomewolf for sharing some of his XML skills!

Looks great, thanks much for sharing this. And I agree about the keyboards lol . Looks nice that you made the highlight grey on the HTC_IME.

I do love my car..lol
Let me know if anything besides the new message area looks weird to anyone. I also plan on lightening the green outline a little on the tap to compose area.
I personally wanted this mod, so I tried my best making it. However,I'm open to suggestions.
I display a picture of the attached photo in the compose area because it took some extra work to make it look smooth around the corners.
I found that the quicktext option caused a force close. I found a bad xml file and fixed it. I also changed the compose area border to a more stock color green. Let me know if you guys like it..
sorry for the problem as this is still a work in progress links in OP are updated.
forgot a png in v2..
Edit: just flash it and reboot, you won't loose your messages..
Looks sharp good sir. Very clean and professional. Well done.
What I'm working on now.. first will be grey backgrounds until we find the "new message" and make it white txt.
Grey and ics blue will be first. I have a couple other ideas, but will take some requests too...
I will post it soon.. really busy at work and I have a few more things I would like to do with it.
Also keep in mind these apks still use some button presses from your framework so expect some green unless you have that color theme on your whole rom
Looks like its based of other peoples inverted 1.0 mms's... Not saying it is but this has been done by many people including myself a long time ago... Cho for instance inverted the 1.0 sense and looked much better than you changing every black value to white and taking the bg value and pointing it at a drawable... Very easy actually... When you get into making each value a different hex color thats when it gets complex or you start making the mms.apk independent...Now thats hard! Not that im putting you down but aim for a higher bar man.. Visit the mikmik and check out tommyt's inverted mms now thats true inversion... Each value is different!
Oh and my ics mms inversion is better! start using the right colors my man! B/G on mms for inputfield in ics is #ff333333... Enjoy Ics Blue is #ff33b5e5!
Its about sharing to me. Not whose is better... I used a stock mms.apk from Tommy T's deodex stock rom.
I don't understand the meaning of your post.
Go ahead and provide some links so I can see what your talking about..
As for removing the framework dependancies from the apk.. I am playing around with it.
It is a WIP.. which means work in progress.
Why not point to the values/color.xml if your using the color a lot anyways? Unless you wanted to make a rainbow colored theme..
looks good. Going to give this a try now.
I will put up a back-to-stock.zip up in the morning when I get home from work in case anyone doesn't like it black any more..

Sorry i haven't had much time to try and improve it.,
when i do I will post it in the OP
Busy printing books this time of year
I also added flashable stock zips to the second post
Thanks, it's what I was looking for
I need to fix the msg_input_selected.png with 9patch. It looks funny in landscape when it remains black/grey it is stretched out on the right side. That's easily fixable but I'm sort of waiting on another fix to include along with it.. :thumbup:
It will get better.

OK I fixed the .9.png in the compose area and also added a grey and white one
