Hi, I want to change the wallpaper in phonebook, settings and the dialer. I want the wallapaper to be the same as my homescreen wallpaper. I have Eminence v1.2 installed. Is there a way to do it?
You will need to modify the framework-res.apk for the settings background, and (I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong here) I think the Dialler and Phone Book are in the same APK, which I think is dialer.apk

I'd like to change the background of system app and notification area with Transparency...
For system app like phone, contacts, setting...
We can change the background as we change semc_bg.png and semc_general_bg.png in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.
But NO Transparency~~!!!!
For notification area, I tried to change shade_bg.png in SystemUI.apk But Nothing changed.
Could you somebody helpl me what xml and attribute I should modify for this two transparency~~??
All the files are in framework-res.apk/res only edit framework apk for appearance.
Its usually named notification some thing something.png so look around the res files.
By the way what rom are you using? If its miui its simple =)

Hi - Where's the semcgenericuxpres.apk file...?? I can't find it!!.. changed the images in framework-res.apk and that works fine.. but I can't find the other file! So I've got a new background in the menus and for calc and calendar.. but not for phone and contacts list.. do they have their own bg?
Howdy mate i figured out how to make the background transperant in Wolfs CM6,
i asume it is similar for all version of android... (not too sure)

see that thread
but i am having issues getting some apps to work again on the phone , be awsome if you could let me kno if you make any progress.
Pvy.
I have Samsung GT B7510. When i had froyo rom, there were some themes for mms.apk . But after updating gingerbread , the themes have gone. There is no option to choose different themes. When i look at the res fonder in the app i see the different pictures for theme but we can't use it. Is there any way to edit the apk to use this themes? I don't like other messeging apps. Stock app is so simple, and i generaly use swiping right and left to message or call someone who text me. Does all gingerbread roms lost message app theme, or just our phones rom does?
Hi guys,
here are the deodexed versions of Phone.apk and Contacs.apk - I modded them to fit the Holo style a little bit more.
The "unknown" icon is a little bit difficult to fit the right grey tone, as the same icon is used in both dark and light screens (phone is dark, contacts is light) - I used the same icon as in my Messaging.apk mod.
Copy the apk's to /system/app - set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and delete the corresponding *.odex file if you have an odexed system.
If you want the new dial pad, you MUST use both files, as the phone uses the resources from Contacts.apk. Enjoy!
Think of a backup first!
Thanks looks good.. No chance to invert phone book?

Thanks, the apps look nice. By the way, the content of the Phone.apk is not changed, I mean it is still crippled Motorola's one not the AOSP? If so is it possible to replace it with AOSP or attaching the Internet calling part?

It is But for me it works good, I have no need for AOSP one. What advantage does the AOSP dialer have?
@wozn: regarding theming Contacs.apk: AOSP is light, too, and personally I like that. It is not that simple to change all xml's and resources, much fiddling around. Maybe some other wants to do that?
I would love to see a dialer like the one on xperia ray on my razr i. I loved it much more.
Thank you so much Shaftenberg for all the mods you have posted. Extremely slick near original AOSP look. Finally we get rid of the horribly customized Motorola style.
Maybe you could also change the launcher-icons of these APKs to the AOSP versions.
Also theres also still some ugly in app icons.
- If I hit the search button in either dialer or contacts I see an extremely ugly icon in the upper left corner (motorola contacts icon with a magnifying glass on it).
- In the phone app on the favourites view theres still the grey motorola "people"symbol instead of the stylized smiling AOSP face
These seem to be the last remains of the Motorola look.

Maybe try another launcher (Nova, Apex, ...)? You can customize yourself. Personally I don't like the AOSP icons for dialer (blue phone? bah...), so this is the place, where everyone can do it for his needs easily.

No, I don't have Moto icons there, only dark and light AOSP faces?! Sure you changed phone.apk and contacts.apk together?
Yes I changed both together. I added a screenshot to see what I mean. The grey silhouette of a head instead of the AOSP stylized symbol.
Yes, I already changed the icons in Nova Launcher, but I still can see the green dialpad inside the apps because the resource inside is not changed.
So this is no demand to change these things, but maybe you also would like to have a consistent look.
The small icons are Moto yes, but the faces are already AOSP
In Contacts they are dark grey, because AOSP-Contacts has a light theme. The phone.apk uses this resource from contacts too, unfortunately.

Hi guys. I just got an xa recently and it's a great phone. But i'm having a problem with the themes.
No matter what theme i apply the dialer, contacts, messaging and clock don't change theme. Dialer and messaging stays blue contacts is a pink colour and clock is always green. I've used the stock themes and downloaded a few but nothing changes except lockscreen and wallpaper.
Anyone else have this issue at any time?
Edit: after doing some research it seems they can't be themed.

For one, Sony went with Google apps, and Swiftkey, instead of Xperia apps, for some things, (strange, since Xperia apps are better). Also Sony Theme Creator hasn't been updated to N compatibility yet, (last time I checked), so any STC themes will have a limited effect. Search the cross-device development themes and apps thread...

I'll have a look thanks for the tip. One of my favourite things about Sony was the ability to theme almost all of the ui, and so was a bit disappointed with nougat. Haven't got the hours to spend themeing stuff like I did with older versions or Linux stuff. Must be getting old or lazy or both lol.
