I just decompiled the lg settings app from v28b.
I want to change it's background from white to black and naturally the fonts from black to white.
How can achieve this ? Where to look for them ? In html codes somewhere in there , or is there a .png like the rest of the icons?
Thanks in advance.

I hope that this can be done the help of our devs. The white background that LG forced on ICS goes against their previous dark color scheme in GB and Froyo and against the dark scheme of the 'clear' Google ICS and JB. And the white gets really annoying to the eye, because most of the apps and ICS launchers use the default black scheme.
In Optimus 2X ICS some have already changed it to dark like the one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122413
I IMed the guy who did that and he told me that perhaps the only thing that could be working from his files is the theme for the launcher. But the settings and the rest of the stock apps won't work.
In order to modify everything to dark theme, we need to get some developer to modify the framework and lge-res.apk and a couple of other apks like the LGphone.apk, the LGcontacts.apk and some more.
I hope that if some dev is reading this, he could modify the above apks so we can change the color to black.

I just hate the lg's themes. They are horrible man.
Google is so much better at this , why screw up beautiful work ?
I'm using third party sucky apps just to get the jelly bean feeling.
It's stupid.
Anyway , at least it drove me to learn a little...
Now i know how to decompile , edit and recompile apks.
We already have a theme for that ,, but for ICS Ported .

Changes include:
Blue Icons on Rosie dock

Blue Signal Bars
Blue accents to status icons (will be editing more icons soon)
BLUE frame when moving icons on homescreens!!
All framework highlights BLUE (removed all green)
Removed GPS location icon (the crosshairs)

Themed HTC Settings Widgets (hotspot , wifi, bluetooth, etc)
Themed MARKET APP(Vending.apk)
Themed GMAIL.apk

SEE SCREEN SHOTS BELOW...
Its come to my attention that the clockwidget theme may not apply.. please reboot, then reapply the individual item if that happens. Should fix it!
UPDATE!!!

When u applied this, did u apply it after his theme that was included in the rom or did u avoid that completely

i havent flashed it yet but i know that with these new evo based framework roms, any little modd could mess up the animation. wich is cool if you disable it anyway, but i think that's one of the cool featers of these "evo" roms.
the theme looks sick thow... you got down on this!!!!

I did not apply any themes prior to this... Im not sure if that will affect anything, other than there may be changes in those themes that are still there, if I didnt edit them myself.
As far as the clock widget... I had to reapply it after a reboot. Im not sure why it acts this way. After the second time it worked fine... let me know it its still fuct... ill see if i can figure out why its being stubborn

You use Metamorph. Put the zip file in the AndroidTheme directory on your SDCard and then launch MM and select extract new theme. After it is extracted then select pick exsisting theme. It will only work on the OP. The ones that I posted with the exception of the clock will not work as I just posted the extra png files that I added.
FYI, im gonna get into a few more apks and make some more changes.
Ive noticed a few things here n there that could use a lil BLUE!
Hey gang!
I was perusing the Themes and Apps Section for the Evo 4g and noticed a couple trends. A lot of the themes and mods are for the ports of late, which is awesome! But I know some of you are very happy with the Sense 1.0 with GB that we've received recently (OTA 4.22). While I prefer the Sense 2.1 with GB Roms myself, I want to provide mods and themes for all sorts of stuff. The other trend I noticed was that a few flashers wanted transparency. Everyone loves transparency, right? With Gingerbread, as many devs and themers have found out, theming is much more ingrained in dex code than previous issues of Android OS. No worries, there are some smart cookies floating around.
Well, I just wanted to upload this for the folks out there who would like to start theming or want to incorporate transparent Statusbar and Notification Area but are not quite familiar with smali/baksmali and xml editing. I have uploaded deodex and odex versions of the mod.
Here is exactly what I did in general terms.
used baksmali to decompile the SystemUI.odex
edited two lines in "com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali"
used smali to compile the smali folder back to classes.dex
made the statusbar 100% transparent (just for sample purposes, ie it can any level of transparency, not necessarily clear) but PhotoShopping "statusbar_background" in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
used apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk
made the notifications text white instead of black by editing values
made the notification area a transparent black instead of stock white
I think that is all that I did...
This little mod was by request and I can't guarantee that everything is 100%. I should also note that the ROM I used to was xHausx's stock odex rom as found HERE. Thanks xHAUSx! I figure this one would be as stock as it gets, and also the requester is using this ROM.
Let me know how it goes. I do not to take credit for actually coming up with the mod for transparency for Gingerbread. That smali hack should be credited to KBanause. What I did was make it work for the Evo and also inverted the text color a little bit. I also do not take credit for broken devices. Please Nandroid.
Sorry for the long post!
Deodex download
Odex Download
Thanks Tom, I will let you know how things go.

Well...it works, and it looks nice on my home screen, but the white icons and stuff make it impossible to read the notification bar in some apps like gmail. Still cool though
p.s. This was on Fresh 4.1.1.0 btw
Would it be difficult to make it play nice with this status bar mod? The only thing that remains after flashing your mod over his is the battery percentage. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. I'm sorry but I do not use this ROM, and thus it will be difficult for me to make mods for it.
I only wanted to release this so peeps can do it with their flavor. Maybe one of the other themers who use this Rom like rydah can fill these requests.
I do however, agree with the white icons being too white.

Love the mod. We just need the status bar up top solid black while having the dropdown transparent. I'll take a look at it and see what I can come up with . I'm good with xmls not smalis.

Just insert a black png for the status bar. I only enabled the transparent, but it isn't necessary.

Let me ask you. What Rom are you using? Also, if you using stock Rom, you're likely on 4.24 ota. This was made for 4.22.
I've had same issue btw. A full restart worked for me.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm using MikG which is using 4.24 OTA. It's Sense 2.1 so I guess no go. What would be the best way to replicate your theme? I know how to replace the background png but I don't know how to edit scripts or anything for the font color change.

MikG is not based on OTA. It is based in Evo shift ota which had sense 2.1.
Go to themikmik.com and you will find this mod in several themes.

I want to implement my icons into a theme, and my questions are:
First question: Does the cm9/aokp (prev cm7 themes) have the capability of theming all application icons, including non-system apps?
Second question: Is there a way to make the theme only apply icons, and nothing else.
My goal is to create a theme that is just icons, due to the limitations of the theme chooser (my understanding is one can only have a single theme applied at once). This way someone could apply my icons, and then install a theme via flashing it, to have the best of both worlds.
Any help would be appreciated, I couldn't find an answer otherwise.

I Googled your question to find out that there's one theme in the play store that is a "cm9/aokp (previously cm7 theme)" they actually say they had to port it to cm9 (read the theme's info on play store), anyway the developer says that the icons come in a separate package -for the moment, IMHO and since these people have promised to have the third party apps in the coming weeks, then it is possible as long as there are people who have already been working on it.
Good luck.
Take a look at the Cobalt, Crimson Cobalt, and Purple Kush themes. They work really well and look good, they also theme 3rd party app icons (I noticed ES file explorer and Google Chrome were themed.) You can look through the apk to see the method of third party theming, i'm sure it isn't too hard with the theme chooser implemented.

CM7 used to have this feature. to change the light theme of mms to dark theme..
currently in CM9 I cant find the option to change the current theme to dark.
so what I did.. I grabbed a copy of mms.apk from the CM9 Rom and decompiled it.
now the hard part is where to look for the colors to change the the current background to black.
or any guides I can use to modify it?
Why black?
-The letters seem crispier at dark background. and it doesnt hurt my eyes at dark rooms.

I think it can happen, just make a theme that has transparent values for notification backgrounds (if alpha values are valid on it) , but it will look weird and a lot of ghosting can occur.
The thing is themes like that can never have theme store release. (coz official theme editor won't allow that kind of modification or alpha editing on notif. bg.)
I really miss the 'old school' themes that were black and blue with glass or transparency effects, nowadays most themes seem to be bright whites or pastel colours or dull material themes hmm

Yeah, true. Me and my team developing themes for a long time we can do 95% full themed on any devices with themestore incl notifications, icons..email, themestore, live lockscreen ect. STE (Samsung theme editor ) that's fun for the started themer and it's regular Samsung theme store stuff... Most codes u have to added manually also bg, png, 9-patch and so on...
It's take many hours...[emoji1]
