Hi Disto,
I'm already have a modified version of 2.2 Galaxy S Settings.
but with Tab the issue is another story...the black menu turns my hair white....
thnx

I know, what i was talking about is a modified port from Galaxy S to Galaxy Tab... and it is working except for 1 page and the case that it is stuck with english..
I have black menu in Settings on the tab

Hi to All....
Finally after digging and xml-ing the folders of Settings.apk, I found the Magic words that will darken the Settings.apk menu...
Mod:-
In the file Settings.apk\res\values\styles.xml
search for: -
Code:
<style name="WhiteStyle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light">
<item name="android:listViewStyle">@android:style/Widget.ListView.White</item>

<style name="Theme.CustomDialog" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/filled_box</item>
</style>
<style name="WifiTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar">

[Mod][Transparency] Sense Settings Menu - Custom Transparency+Background

Hey gang!
I had a couple users ask me how this is done and this is how in a few simple steps!
This will not be a comprehensive how-to for apktool and/or android-utility. There are many many guides! Consult here for awesome advice!
For this to work, you need these tools:
apktool by Brut.all
Alternately, you can use Android Utility by yours truly (for Mac OS X and Linux)
Java JRE and JDK (for apktool to work)
Text Editor (Bluefish or Gedit on Linux works wonders, TextWrangler on Mac OS X, Unsure for Windows)
A bit of Knowledge on android references to styles and framework
That should be it!​
First, acquire those tools above.
Second, acquire frameworks-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from your ROM (either adb pull or simply from the rom.zip you downloaded)
Third, for our intents and purposes, I will be working from a directory on the Desktop called SettingsCustom. So place all three files into that directory.
Fourth, let's get down to the commands for dissembling the apk:
Code:
cd $HOME/Desktop/SettingsCustom
# the following "for" command is a one-liner, just copy and paste entire command into terminal
# hint, to copy and paste inside terminal, use CTRL+SHIFT+C and CTRL+SHIFT+V
for a in framework-res.apk com.htc.resources.apk ; do apktool if $a custom ; done
apktool d -t custom Settings.apk Settings
Fifth, I will list the files you need to edit and what to do add to them one by one. This is for setting a custom transparency but not a custom background. It will use the current wallpaper.
Settings/AndroidManifest.xml:
ORIGINAL:
Code:
<application android:theme="@style/Theme" android:label="@string/settings_label" android:icon="@com.htc:drawable/common_app_ic_launcher_settings" android:taskAffinity="" allowSkinChange="false" pluto:isThemeable="true">
CHANGE TO:
Code:
<application android:theme="@style/Theme.Custom" android:label="@string/settings_label" android:icon="@com.htc:drawable/common_app_ic_launcher_settings" android:taskAffinity="" allowSkinChange="false" pluto:isThemeable="true">
Settings/res/values/colors.xml:
ADD LINE:
Code:
<color name="classic_transparent">#7f111111</color>
Keep in mind for this one you can make the transperancy whaever you choose! 00 is full transperancy and 7f is roughly 50%. I like 50%.​Settings/res/values/styles.xml:
FIND:
Code:
<style name="Theme">
<item name="htcPreferenceStyle">@style/HtcIconPreference</item>
<item name="htcCheckBoxPreferenceStyle">@style/HtcIconPreference.HtcCheckBoxPreference</item>
</style>
ADD DIRECTLY UNDER:
Code:
<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/classic_transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
</style>
Keep in mind it you can technically paste that chunk anywhere but it is cleaner code-wise to keep like snippets close togther.​Settings/res/values-hdpi/styles.xml:
ADD TO BOTTOM OF FILE [before </resources>]:
Code:
<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/classic_transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
</style>
Sixth, the following is what you need to do to add a custom background instead of having to use the wallpaper:
Hang tight. Coming later. This is rather easy but I want to make sure I have the best way possible​
I really hope this helps you some! If you know of a more efficient way to do this let me know. I know that you can just reference the styles Theme.Wallpaper from framework-res but that is tricky because you cannot set a custom transparency without having to edit framework-res.apk as well. This way, all of your work is localized inside Settings.apk.
This is for Sense based Settings.apk. I am pretty certain AOSP will be different.
Enjoy the possibilities...

Once again thanks for the write up Tommy! I seem to be all out of thanks for the day, but will definitely hit you up with my next daily allotment.

Awesome will try it just for the heck of it.

Your a great dev Tommy! Thanks for taking it one step further to teach others.

I'm not sure it was referenced (or maybe I didn't undersand), but how would you change the text color? Which files would you change?

This guide was solely for the background. The text color is controlled by either colors.xml within settings.xml or in com.htc.res. I haven't tried yet so I can't tell you for sure.

I am not sure but I think the text color in the setting is in the framework and then you end changing it in other place too but I am not sure I could be wrong

Transparent widgets
Can you use the same idea to make transparent widgets for evo4g sense 3.5 ?

Hi Tommy - I just stumbled over this thread and wanted to say Hi. I always used a slightly different approach and added my custom styles to framework-res and used a png as background in order to be flexible with gradients or whatever I needed.
In settings in Android.Manifest.xml it was pretty similar, but refered to the custom style in framework-res.apk
PHP:
android:theme="@style/Theme"
in
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Custom"
In framwework-res I added the following style to styles.xml plus a background png (hestheone.png)
PHP:
<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="@style/Theme.Wallpaper">
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/hestheone</item>
That is very flexible and I can always refer to my custom style in other apk`s, whenever i need to change to that bg. Having said that, your approach is certainly better for individual mods - my version makes sense for full Themes (if only m.10`s wouldn`t be locked...).

Hey stranger!
Yeah the framework-res method is definitely more portable to an entire theme. I figured this method was easy enough for most users to follow without messing up any other aspects of their theme/Rom.
Can't wait to see you at it again once m10 is cracked

5. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
6. Locate <style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme">
7. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/black</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
8. Replace

"framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
2.)Preparing your own image:
Now use any png image you want to set as background , resize it to 512 x 512 via mspaint or any other image editing software and rename the file to "background_holo_dark.png".
3.)Drag the newly created image file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
4.)Replace the framework-res.apk(that you edited now) with the your ROM's using and Root Browser like Root Explorer and reboot.
For 4.2+ Based ROMs
1. Decompile framework-res.apk
2. Navigate to res/values and open styles.xml
3. Locate <style name="Theme">
4. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
5. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_selector_dark</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
6. Create a png of size according to your resolution(512*512 most common) to your liking, name it mybackground.png and place it in drawable-nodpi folder
7. Recompile framework-res.apk
For users who know how to use root explorer can use the same to copy/paste the framework-res.apk before and after editing.​

There's no need of tutorials for editing pngs....
I'll tell you now...
Copy systemUI or framework-res from your mobile to pc. Extract it.
Now check the dimensions of the PNG you want to replace and remember the folder.
Now chose your image...change it's dimensions....rename it to the same name as of original file.
Drag your new files into the new folder directly in the apk using 7zip or winrar.
Replace your apk with default one in the system and you are done

first see the original size of the pic(in pixels) then use an resizer and resize your photo(which you want to resize) to that size and in png format rename it to original one and replace the photo and then replace the framework-res.apk and reboot i have tested on a110 also it is working 100%

Themers. and Devs, Enable ink lockscreen in the sgs4. preconfigured

UNTESTED
so ink lockscreen comes pre configured in the sgs4, but all it needs is a place in the settings so..
all we have to do is
Decompile SecSettings.apk
Go to \res\xml folder and open lockscreen_settings.xml
Search for "CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/ripple_effect"
then right below it replace the current inkeffect configuration cmds with these
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/ink_effect" android:key="ink_effect">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.InkeffectPreview" />
</PreferenceScreen>
then save it and Compile *if you can*
the only problem is that most of these SGS4 4.2.2 apks are to hard to decompile and compile so i havent tested this yet, so if anyone is able to
succeed in testing this. please give back feedback for testing :highfive: :highfive: :good: :good:

@cabloomi Doesnt work. I tested both by selecting the rippleeffect and also light effect! i modifed the same at line 25
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/ink_effect" android:key="ink_effect">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.InkeffectPreview" />
</PreferenceScreen>
I will have a look further in the smali files!

@grgsiocl , how are you able to decompile and compile it. i have many mods in mind that include the SecSettings.apk
but it wont go back and compile even if i dont touch or change anything. please zip your work space and send it to me. lol like the apktool and the framwork base's 1 and 2.
and i think it might be CSC activated like we figured out recently that the call recorder mod is also

i can easily do it as i am using the newsest version apktool. I also pushed framewrok-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and ssytemui. I will upload the apktool for you in a minute!
Edit uploaded the tool here! Just push the corresponding frameworks after extracting the zip and you are good to go! I am also using the backsmali /smali versio 2.0 , that also will upload it!

i made centerclock for the s4, want it @grgsiocl
maybe you can make a black transparent bar
and thank you for the apktool. it worked perfectly

If you already done it, then share please. I always love to have missing features in phone

the clock wont roll out the way for a notification. so.. help me. this is what i did to get it center
decompile SystemUI.apk
Navigate to res/layout/status_bar.xml
Look for a line that starts with
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock
and i deleted it.
then added these lines
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>
under this line
Code:
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
then i changed the clock from blue to white
from this line
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@*android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
</style>
I change the
<item name="android:textColor">@*android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
to <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
so now its center, but it wont roll out the way for a notification
any ideas @grgsiocl

never mind. got it working, but its kinda glitchy

Cabloomi,
If you did not code this, please provide a link and credit to the "original" author.
Thanks

There is lots of info on the net for this mod...... and been for a long time.
I was just asking, not accusing you, because you would have wasted your time otherwise

You wrong dude. It's should be on /system/framework. It's a framework which is needed for a android phone.

I thought apks go to system/app thanks for the heads up though
