Few more MODs - light theme
Hi guys
As I really don't have free time I made few more framework MODs based on light theme.
As soon as I find some free time I'll MOD our framework to use dark theme and will use some dark backgrounds...
3D swirl
DOWNLOAD 3D SWIRL
White dolphin
DOWNLOAD WHITE DOLPHIN
Blue line
DOWNLOAD BLUE LINE
As I said - these are just simple MODs, only with changed background pictures.
When I catch some time I'll MOD blue to blue and dark to dark.
This one is the best to use with @xXWeresXx dark apps - it should look very good
DIRTY DARK
It looks ugly but as I said - use this one with @xXWeresXx dark apps (he MOD apps one by one) and it will look great and your fonts should be white
DOWNLOAD DIRTY DARK

quick TUTORIAL
As I promised....
It's very simple to do this.
Copy framework-res.apk to your PC
Open it with WinZip and go to folder xxhdpi. (res/drawable-xxhdpi)
You'll find there two pngs (pictures) with a name semc_bg_light.png and semc_bg.xml.
Semc_bg_light.png is for light theme and the other one is for dark theme...but this isn't important now.
Now you need to download or create one png and rename or name it to semc_bg_light.png
On our Z1 we are using light MOD, so the png we need to change is semc_bg_light.png.
Now, take your png (that you created), check once again it has right name and copy it (with WinZip) to folder res/drawable-xxhdpi (in your framework-res.apk apk).
You'll get window opened with a few questions.
Don't change anything except "compression method"!
Set that to "store"
Copy your framework-res.apk back to your phone.
Copy it to system.
Change permissions to 0644.
Move framework-res.apk to framework folder (system/framework)
Open your settings, calls, email or SMS app and enjoy your new design

Then I'll have to fix style.xml to show white fonts.
If someone has time to do that - fell free to do @xXWeresXx - you could do that
Sent from my Z1
Very nice bro. Thanks for quick TUTORIAL.
The thing is...
Every app use some info from framework but some info are still coming from style.xml and layout.xml from every app itself.
So I have to edit every app individually and, of course, framework.
That's not easy or quick job but I will try to edit and build perfect framework and with @xXWeresXx dark apps we'll have great user experience

Awesome, thanks!
Used 7-zip myself to drag n drop and it seems to work just fine (simply created an all black png, saves about 1 MB as well ). Thinking about changing other png's too, but as I'm lazy I'll wait with that a bit...

I really doubt you can't use this on Xperia L...
It should be similar or even same on all Xperia.
You just have to change folder you are working in...
For example for Xperia S is xhdpi, for Xperia Z1 is xxhdpi and so on...
But procedure is same - it's all Sony UI.

As we have light theme as default it's easier to use light background.
It's different but easy to build
Sent from my Z1
can someone give me original settings.apk and system ui.apk?
In theory the same methodology should work to mod 290 4.3 framework background? Do we need to be deodexed (which I'm not in 290)

Hi Guys,
Finally I am ready with first part of My first Theme, based on Crysis revolution.
But I have made additional changes also to make it more colourful.
I am calling it as Ultimate-Bule-tripin
This theme will only work on I9003 -XXKB3. Tested on deodexed rom, but should work with non-deodexed rom also(Not tested by me, confirmed by one user here)
Use it at your own risk, I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
This release is Part-I: The first part consists of changes to the Framework files only. I have also themed applications, which I will release as I fine tune them and consider worthy for release. So Dont get confused, if after flashing you do not have all that you see in screen shot.
Features of the part-I
1% Battery indicator
Fly In and Flip Mix (ApeX) Animations -To activate animations goto Menu>Settings>display>All animations
Blue Unlock screen
Transparent pull down bar
Colourful themed Menu
Transparent glowing background
Themed Status bar Music widget and Quick Widgets for GPS, Bluetooth, wifi etc.
Much more.....
Flash it to feel it.
You can use root explorer or adb to replace the two framework files in /system/framework/
If you want to use fonts, the fonts folder should be replaced in /system/fonts
The screen shots also contains tiny battery MOD which is a separate MOD with only difference in Battery indicator s not enclosed.

Update 16.06.11
Ultimate-Blue-tripin-Vanilla unlock screen MOD
Requirements:
-XXKB3 FW
-Deodexed framework is mandatory
This version is with Vanilla unlock screen - Many users wanted to have Vanilla unlock screen. This is in update zip format to be used with the Modded stock (3e) recovery by skin, so that you can flash it easily. Download it and place it on root of your SDCARD (do not put it inside any folder). rename it as update.zip. Now switch off your phone and simultaneously press Vol. up+Home and power on button, till you see the first screen and leave the keys, wait till recovery screen appears. Now select the update zip option and wait the phone to reboot. You are done.
If you do not have this recovery you can also use root explorer or equivalent to replace those files.
Please do this at your own risk

You need not have deodexed rom. You can use root explorer to replace the two framework files in /system/framework/. Reboot the phone. But I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.

Thats what I did.
Root Explorer - click on Mount - Copy - Paste - Overwrite - Yes
Then there was an error message that there was no space on memory.
Delete useless applications from phone memory if you do not have enough internal memory but its rare, bcoz the files need hardly 10mb space.

In my /system/framework, there is no "framework-res.apk" file. There is "framework-tests.jar", "framework-tests.odex", "framework.jar" and "framework.odex". I have "twframework-res.apk" and "twframework.jar".
What should I do. Do I backup these files first? If something happens, any way of copying these back to the memory from PC?
This is like a live organism without vital organ. phone can not run without this file. You have to have this file. Paste it any ways, but check properly you area in system/framework folder. Us, its a good idea to back up before that. But what will you back up if u do not have that file?

for flashable zip, follow blackedition link on my signature, and download "colourful notification bar" theme from op.
@mods
close this thread.
Posting here my SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and my build.prop.
(mediafire links below)
SystemUI.apk
This one originally taken from wolfbreak v6, and done some theming on my part. contains coloured notification bar icons. and the quickpanel (on-off toggles on notification bar) also has coloured icons.
framework-res.apk
Stock 2.3.3 SE framework-res.apk has coloured icons and beautiful flip-n-fold animations. Also circullar 100 level battery and animated charging battery.
Both framework-res and systemUI have color coded notification icons. (i.e. blue for bluetooth, yellow adb, green for email etc etc) along with that signal and wifi levels are also color coded (4-bars = blue, 3-bars = green like that...) (data is also coloured. upload=red, download=green, both up and down = yellow)
This will work on *any* stock based 2.3.3 rom. (I've personally tried on wolfbreak, tripnraver, stock)
build.prop
just general tweaks. to make phone a little faster and more responsive here and there. (eg. proximity delay, windowsmgr events, dalvik=int:jit and others)
the values that are modified from stock build.prop are in a separate section "arnav's mods" so you can know which are changed.
click here for the code details
important note
if anyone can make an update.zip file out of these three files please do. you are certainly welcome. just notify me if you come up with it. thanks in advance.
installation
adb push, or "cp" using any terminal emulator

the first picture, is from system ui and the second of framework?
having problems downloading systemUI, will ttry it tomorrow
clarifications
those power buttons in the pull down menu is the magic of SystemUI.apk, the circular battery is due to framework-res.apk and the icons in the status bar, some are from framework-res and others are from systemui. eg bluetooth icon = framework-res, signal bars = systemui.apk like that

>>>>tw_background_holo_dark
3. Copy the Framework-res.apk on SYSTEM / FRAMEWORK to COMPUTER

You only really need change "tw_background_holo_dark" to change system background. Don't worry about the others.
Size needed for Note 1 is PNG 512 x 512.
You can use a Free tool called Pix Resizer to resize images and to change them to png images. That way its quick and easy if you don't have Photoshop etc.
Hope this helps a little bit.
Good work mate :good:

This is a simply method to set a transparent background all system app :
1. Create a 480x800 sized image with photoshop (set image opacity as you wish) and save it as .png. rename its as "tw_background_holo_dark.png"
2. Decompile framework-res.apk
3. Browse to res/values and open styles.xml. Search code for "<style name="Theme.Holo" parent="@style/Theme">"
4. On it, search this line "<item name="windowShowWallpaper">false</item>" and replace values false with true (use notepad++). Save all and close
5. Browse to res/drawable-nodpi and replace existing tw_background_holo_dark.png with your image.
6. Recompile framework-res
7. Replace framework-res.apk on your device (Root explorer, adb, flash through recovery). Personally I also clear cache and dalvik cache
8. Done :victory:
NOTE :
- Always perform backup before replace any system file! Also, I'm no responsible for any problems that may occure on your phone
- You can download this image if you want. extract and rename its as "tw_background_holo_dark.png"
- You can follow this great guide for Decompile and Rebuild framework-res.apk without errors
- If you want simple method flash Transparent All System App.zip via CWM (Only for KYRILLOSv7B)
~ SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH ~
Also include background_holo_dark.png
I just replace the PNGs in drawable-nodpi and no more xml edits and it works fine.

Works fine for 4.4.2 touchwiz, though I had to edit tw_background_holo_dark.png, change the colour code and recompile the apk. Another choice is removing that file and adding the png to drawables.
Hi guys...
In 290 firmware (Android 4.3) we have new and nice theme engine which we can use to easily MOD our devices and make it more personal.
For now, we have only few themes (on market) and it's time that we buil/MOD our own...
It's very easy to do that...
You can change
* navigation bar
* status bar
* icons (Home launcher, nav bar)
* system backgrounds (in settings)
...and many other things...
I'll do some MOD after Xmas but for now (as I don't have free time) I give you this fast and easy "How to".
1.Download themes from XDA
DOWNLOAD 4.3 THEMES
2. Decompile theme
* you'll get this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Now go into the folder "assets"
* you'll see few zip files
#. android.zip - system buttons, checkbox and other png's
#. android.systemUI.zip - png's for systemUI change (here you can see png's for navigation bar)
#. com.sonyericsson.home.zip - well...this isn't hard to figure out - in this folder you can find icons and png's for Home launcher.
* like this :
4. Extract zip file - the one you wanna change...
For example, let's say, we want to change icons on navigation bar.
- Extract file to you apktool folder (com.android.systemUI.zip),
Rename com.android.systemUI.zip to com.android.systemUI.apk and decompile it like you decompiled main apk (theme)
go to folder res/drawable-xxhdpi, change or replace png's (back, home, menu...) save files (you must use same name and resolution)
5. Change png's you want to change
(it's just to show how to do it, don't use Paint for editing )
6. Recompile com.android.systemUI
and rename it back to com.android.systemUI.zip
6a. Copy com.android.systemUI.zip back to assets folder (delete old one first)
6b. Recompile theme
7. Install apk on your device like any other apk file.
If you can't install app and you get errors - ~ DO THIS
FOLLOW ME
And that's it....
It's easier than built theme from a scratch...
You can change settings background (android.zip/res/drawable-xxhdpi/semc_bg.jpg and semc_bg_light.xml) and many other things....
Be creative and when you build something - share here
As I said, I'll make something as soon as Xmas past....
don't forget to install new framework and semcgeneric apk on your PC - we have changed Android version and you could bump into compiling errors if you use framework from 4.2.2
Extract framework and semcgeneric apk from system/framework to your Apktool folder and
In CMD you have to write :
Apktool if framework-res.apk
Apktool if semcgenericuxpres.apk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMPORTANT
For now we are only succeeding to MOD and use MODed themes on stock based, rooted devices.
You'll need root - that's most important.
I'm developing/patching services.jar to bring this awesome themes for all - stock and stock based ROMs.
So try to use patched services.jar from second post on stock rooted 4.3 and please report.

Make sure you share your work with us
It's very simple to do that MODing, only thing you need is time, plenty of time - to change every png.
It's time for Z1 to have more stuff...
And it's not important how small MOD is - please, share it.
I know I will as soon as I find some free time (and that will ne soon, very soon)

With your turorial we can only edit png BUT .9.png cant => must decompiling #. android.zip OR #. android.systemUI.zip OR #. com.sonyericsson.home.zip for which we want to mod!
So use apktoll for that => edit .9.png => recompiling Zip => recompiling apk => everything OK => but when put to phone => cant install anymore => replace => cant use
I dont know why??

You can edit 9.png - just check tutorials online...
HOW TO EDIT 9.png"
If your decompilig and recompiling process went well - it must work.
What you can do, if you can't install apk, install app called zipsigner
ZIPSIGNER MARKET LINK and sign your edited app to your framework.
Then try to install it
Edit : you can use this tutorial for zipsigner app

@niaboc79 will know better but I'll try to explain.
Color.xml is only for signing the color not for using it.
You have to set color in color.xml and than you have to "call" this color in style.xml, layout or manifest...
You could change already assigned color in color.xml - but I'm not sure it'll work. (I'm guessing you tried that)
Android use only two modes for colors - dark and light, not colors - themes.
All other colors (in settings, taskmanager or systemUI) we can change by changing png's or editing smali files.

You are welcome...nice to see someone is building something.
When you make something interesting please share.
We have here many users that doesn't have skills to do that and it would be nice if we all help them.
- Basically, that should work but yeah, 4.3 is a bit different and we'll have to find a way to MOD that in some other way...
