CM10. I can't for the life of me figure out how to theme these blue parts in the Contacts.apk without the Phone app FCing. Everytime I edit anything in the colors.xml for the Contacts.apk the Phone app FC's. I've edited other app xml's just fine with no fc's. I've managed to successfully change the blue parts in this picture to red by editing this line in colors.xml <color name="people_app_theme_color">#ff33b5e5</color> but whenever I do that, like I said, the Phone app FC's and I have to change it back. I'm trying to change the #ff33b5e5 which is blue to #ffcc0000 which is red. It's the only part of my theme I haven't been able to fix. Can someone with the know-how PLEASE help me. I'm so frustrated lol. I've been trying to figure this out for 5 days now.
You had to make the edit to the source file before the apk is built. This has been an issue for a long time.

Thank you. Someone finally answered lol.
I don't understand tho. This is what I did:
-Decompiled the Contacts.apk with apktool
-edited the colors.xml in Contacts > res > values
-Saved the color.xml with the new changes
-Recompiled Contacts.apk with apktool
Now the Phone app fc's. How come there is a problem with this but no problems with any of the other apks I edit?
You can't edit ICS/jb contacts that way anymore. You have to do it in the source file and then build the apk. I also faced this issue and had to build the apk from scratch to make it work.

I see. That must be why there are so many blue themes lol. I thought I've seen some red ones tho.
Can you show me how? Or lead me in the right direction?
Also, is that the only apk that you need to do that for?

What I had to do was set up a build environment and then sync with the the ROMs git hub and then sync the repo and then made my edits and built the whole ROM.
The phone apk is also like this

Damn that's so much work just to theme one line. Does the same thing happen if I use Theme Chooser?
Is it only CM10 roms that have that problem? I'm wondering if the same thing would happen if I try to make a Sense theme.

I wonder if it's because the colors of those apps are inverted. The background of the phone app is dark and the one in the contacts app is white. Maybe that's why there is a problem?

The problem is from the apktool jar file. It decodes a few apks badly. Not sure what set up your using but seems The newest apktool from ibots fixed this issue.

What should I download? Just the apktool.jar or the updated aapt also? It says on one page that the aapt is only required for Linux but on the OP it says that the patched aapt is required. It says it under previous versions.

Can you send me your apktookmultitool? I'm still getting a fc when I try to open the Phone app. The only thing I changed is the line in the colors.xml in the Contacts apk that said "People app theme color". I changed it to #ffcc0000. Whenever I decompile the Phone.apk it decompiles fine but I get a bunch of errors when I recompile even if I dont' change anything. I'm not using apkmultitool or apkmanager. I'm just using apktool and these commands: java -jar apktool.jar d Contacts.apk and to recompile I use: java -jar apktool.jar b Contacts.
EDIT: Holy Sh*t, Nevermind I got it. I didn't need to change anything in the Phone.apk at all just the Contacts.apk. But I'd still like to know how come my Phone.apk gives errors every time I try to recompile.
I can finally move on now! lol

Ok sounds good. Thanks.
Btw would you know why I would get a fc when I try to theme the Swiftkey 3 keyboard? I themed it and then put it on my sdcard and tried to install it but it said "app not installed." That happened when I tried to theme the Facebook app but I put it in System/app and it worked but when I put Swiftkey 3 in System/app it just fc's. I know its not because of the 9.png's because I themed them correctly. I'm wondering if its maybe because its a paid app that I purchased? Do you think I'll have that problem with all the apps that aren't in System/app such as Chrome, Play Store, etc.?

It could be that the app developer has it set not to work if decompiled. Hand cent is that way (and pisses me off as I am stuck with bob issues due to their lazy theming lmao.) I have edited a few apps and have no issues. Like tapatalk and what not. But some just won't work.

What this is = Watch here
1: Decompile framework-res.apk using something like apk manager
2: Edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
3: Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
4: Compile framework-res.apk
5: Push new framework-res.apk to your phone with root explorer or adb push.
6: Profit...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to change the statusbar color:
1: Decompile SystemUI.apk
2: Edit the file \smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\Clock.smali
3: Search for the line with ->setTextColor comment it and the line above out with a # infront of the two lines.
4: Compile the SystemUI.apk
5: Decompile framework-res.apk and edit the file \res\values\styles.xml
6: Find the style name 'TextAppearance.StatusBar' and change the textColor item to the color you want
7: Compile framework-res.apk
8: Profit More.
These guides will work with about any 2.3 rom out. Thanks to various sources for help on finding these..
(Will add more to this later)
do you have the compiled version of the CRT TV effect?
I will post a version later as the one I got is tweaked and would more and likely cause you guys bootloops.

Yes on some roms you will get wake lag bad & others it will work fine.. On the 2.3 leak it will go to a black screen for a while. (that's due to 2.2.2 drivers though from what I can tell.)
Have you got it to work on cm7?
Is it possible to clarify what framework-res.apk is referred this tutorial?
I read these posts and seems like it has not mentioned so far. However, in my case (i am running MoDaCo Fr16 CR) after decompiling framework-res.apk i cannot see that config inside res->values->bool.xml.
Maybe i'm missing something
Thanks in advance.

i'm no expert at decompiling etc. just figured it out today lol. i'm pretty positive i did it correctly using apktool. however, after copying the compiled apk back to phone, it just hangs at a black screen on reboot. maybe i did it right and it's just not compatible with bionix? i did read on the apktool site that it won't be signed after recompiling. is this why it won't work? anybody successful here?

I thought u already have this covered because it sounded like you have no problem with other XML except this.
But if u have not heard of the two files/folder I have hightlighted chances are you don't have them in your newly compiled apk which will cause bootloop.
After compiling ur apk you should see that meta-inf folder is missing. U need to copy that from the original API, along with manifest.XML to the new apk.

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

you have to decompile framework-res.apk in order to convert the xml's from binary to text, then recompile once done.
the drop down menu runs from twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. i don't know which changes it so i always cook the status bars the same in both files. i think if u try again u should get in done in uot kitchen.

Yeah i always cook both files the same way i just think theres something diffrent about the bionix frameworks? would stock kd1 frameworks work on bionix? Im probably just going to edit the xml and be done with it. Thanks for the freedback.

Ok krylon i decompiled it with apk by putting the framework-res.apk in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder then hitting decompile then it decompiled it to the projects folder then i changed the status_bar_expanded but how do i compile it back?? apk ask me for a project number and the only one that shows up is the original apk??? Also i added a pic below let me know if i changed the right thing. I circled the color code that changed it to black #0000 it was originally #FF000 wich i think is white right?? thanks for helping this noob out

unzip and copy both frameworks files to your sd card then using super manger or root explorer copy and paste to system/framework then reboot.

I know that the softkeys can be changed to display words instead of the icons. I have found some images that have them as such but can't seem to get to work when using the custom framework maker. Am I missing something or does anyone have text image files that will work.

are the imgs u have to replace them pngs? easiest way is to rightclick framework-res.apk and open with 7zip. then drang new pngs over ones in assests folder.
then try and drag that new eddited apk into framework maker. to make a package to flash.
not sure if tb101s themer has to be editted for ec09 but ive been having trouble with 5.5 and ec09
im in chat right now if u want a hand to hold

won't that create a 7zip file? that was the only problem i had with the themer, everything worked to remove the ticker history and weather. no fc's..yet.
Well the softkeys have to be alighned. Open existing PNGs in paint or whatever and alighn new ones and save. Then run themer.

thank you, checked the sizeds and they were different. now stuck at the decomling stage in themer.
Your making it way more difficult than it should be lol.
Look for older soft keys posts in our theme section.
There are easier ways in there. No decompile needed for softkey.
