[Theme] SwiftKeyX 3 - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi friends from all around the world.
I want to change the letters' colour of this keyboard.
So I tried to decompile the .apk (SwiftKey 3 v3.0.0.302) but APK-Manager4.9 couldn't do this - it only ends with an error.
Does anybody know how it's possible to change the letters (by changing the .xml-files at the "value"-folder?
The given themes are so ugly.
Please help me!
Best wishes
Martini

Does nobody know how to make SwiftKey beautiful?

I need help!
Does really nobody know how this problem could be solved??

REQ [MetaMorph]: Swype / Files inside

Hi,
i never did a Morph myself, probably i will try it later today. If someone is a bit more experienced he'll do that in a few minutes i think.
May someone be so kind and do the morphs for me (and tell me which file he needs?).
I have different Keyboard Layout styles here for swype (original, black/red, htc style, galaxy syle, original brown style).
I put them in the correct folders like com.swype.android.inputmethod/assets/keyboards. There are only some png's which have to be replaced.
They should work with every version / mod.
A sample morph can be found here (but it is for the old Metamorph version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6753575&postcount=102
The Morphs include QWERTY AND QWERTZ Layout.
Credits will be added soon, i have to look for myself from where i got this. I modified the black QWERTZ and the brown original style.
Thanks Sho3box for the Black Theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2308049

second step would be adding different tracer and corresponding glow colors so everyone can mix that and do his favorite version!
nice!
thanks
PS: Yeah a metamorph would be great.
no metamorphers here?
Have you tried editing en resigning the latest beta release?
Manually and autosigning it both made it crash in my case.
Thx and greets
Yes works great for me but I am signing manually (ok i see you tried both..)
what do you edit exactly?

I tried signing my own apk yesterday and I can't figure it out on my mac. There isn't much support online for Mac users. Were you able to make an HTC theme for Swype yet, or did someone? I don't need anything fancy just the HTC style keyboard in either a MM or apk. I think someone posted the Morph file in another thread but it's for the old version of MM which I can't find one that works on my N1. Let me know if you have anything modded already that could help me out or even the old version of MM would work I suppose with the other HTC style keyboard previously posted.
Thanks!
I'm sorry but I guess my problem wasn't the signing because the install went fine, it's just that when running swype it crashed instantly thus making it useless...
maybe I need to try it with an earlier version...
Could anyone who can confirm a successful mod please post the version number in here?
Thanks
wow id love that black swype with a red trace line for my evo..

ICS ShapeWriter...

I know not everyone prefers ShapeWriter, not sure why it's the best keyboard out there, but with all the ICS stuff and themeing, here's a ICS themed ShapeWriter Keyboard.
ps-if anyone knows how to change the tracer color, please let me know. I've asked, pm'd, googled, all with no luck.

just like swipe. its in the libshapewriter.so file. only way to edit it is to use a hex editor. use this as a guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162558
you will need to figure out what the HEX code for the stock color and find it in the .so
OK. So any help on finding that color in Hex Editor? I knew it was in the .so file but don't know the location.

you would have to decompile it and see what the hex code is used for the color then search the .so for it.
its easier in linux. i will see what i come up with then i am home tonight.

Thanks. I appreciate it. No worries if nothing happens.
I thought I was the only person alive that still uses shapewriter. Is there any way to remove the background image? It's a bit distracting

Check this out. It's a few replies in. If you want a certain color or background or whatever, I could probably do something for ya.
After I posted that, I did a little playing around.. Made an orange and black one to go with my orange MIUI 4.0 theme
Got it. I posted on other thread.
Shapewriter bug
HI
long time shapewriter user - recently upgraded to ICS (BCM on the desire)
did a restore of shapewriter from a titanium backup of it i had (this was from CM7 ie gingerbread). Works perfectly but for one problem: Whenever i switch to the number keyboard it duplicates the last digit when i switch back to the alpha keyboard.
Any ideas how to fix or workaround?
Presume the "data" part of the titanium restore is the bit that cointain info on my writing style etc so would be up to 2 years worth of learned data that i would rather not have to wipe and relearn. Maybe the app isnt as clever as this. Im not sure?
I think you might be able to do a fresh install and then copy over the library files. Once I get to a computer I'll look into it.

Shaspewriter isnt available on the market/play any more i know that there are modified variants out there but i'm not so comfortable getting it from a lesser source do to the security/easy ability to capture all keyboard input - do i need a special installer file etc or will the data stored by titanium backup suffice. Not sure if it has the apk file.
Any help appreciated.
I have a galaxy note and am still using shapewriter as it is STILL the best tracing keyboard out there. BUT unfortunately it appears on the note in a compacted form, only taking up 2/3 of the width of the screen. Does anyone know if there is a version that would adapt to any screen size??

Help for theming ;)

Hi everyone! I need some help to make some theming on my Taoshan and if it's done i will share it to you
So, like in the pictures i'd like to change these buttons and backgrounds. I decompile these png's and I know where to put it but don't know where and how to change the colors and size. I search the threads over and over again, but no luck. (Like: [TUT][JB] How to theme SystemUI.apk for totally newbie, and [Guide] Want to learn how to theme?, and some others) The really big problem is that I canT find those values that I have to edit, even I decompile the SystemUI.apk fine (I have all the folders and xml's).
What I really wanna do is that achieve a stock android ui with those fine simple icons (the buttons sequence dosn't matter, but it will be great, and if I be able to add some more... :fingers-crossed, 'cause I really like it (with holo blue or grey), like in the Slim rom that I used on my Xperia Neo.
So anyone can help me pls respond :angel:
I know something about photoshop and designing so maybe it will be a greater project
