Nothing fancy. Just some simple colored dialers. These will work on deodexed and odexed roms. Made from an OE2 SecContacts apk but might work on OC3 as well. If on an odexed rom, after flashing, you will need to go to system/priv-app/SecContacts_L_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk/arm folder and delete the two odex files. Make a backup first. This is a work in progress.
If you are running a custom theme but want to use one of these dialers you will need to remove the phone, contacts, and common folders for that theme from the root folder data/app and reboot. I recommend copy/moving them to your SD card in case you decide to use them later. Flash these via Flashfire.

Hello Tulsadiver
I'm still new to the Mod scene. Would you tell me exactly where you can change in the APK file the color values. I've already tinkered together a Theme by my preference and would like to customize my Dialpad yet for me.
Would be really nice of you if you could pass on your knowledge to me.

I didn't find my notes but this is what I did. I took the colors.xml from the stock SecContacts_L_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk and made notes as to what all i changed to get my red dialer. Lots of these are kind of intuitive. Here is a list of the hex color codes I used.
FFEE0000. RED
FF000000. BLACK
FFFFFFFF. WHITE
These are all the colors I used for my red dialer. Here is the color.xml with my notes. There are several. I hope this helps you out. Feel free to ask any specific questions that might come up. I had to change it to a text file in order to get it to load on xda.
First, many thanks for your efforts. I'll look at me once and if I have any questions I would be in touch with you again.
Great big thanks to you

Sorry, just saw your question. ff009fff
Thank you very much. Have it now hinbekommen almost everything on issues. Few things I still need in the SecContacts_L.apk
As always I'm a big fan of your work. I downloaded and applied the blue and black dialer and love the way it looks. The only problem is when I type a name in the dialer, I can't see the full name of options provided because it's all black, if you get what I mean. Would you be able to fix that? Here is an example: https://drive.google.com/a/bernardltd.com/file/d/0B3fIceeoMIn8UkZ4RkhOb1hjTGc/view?usp=docslist_api

The txt file you posted, are those colors all located in one XML or did you place them all in one xml for simplification? When I decompile app I find some colors in one xml and some in different xmls. I'm on aoe2 based rom on Verizon. Thank you in advanced

User error on my part. I was in res/color. Thank you
So I'm just messing around by changing only a few colors to get my feet wet. I'm not using any theme besides default. Upon making changes and copying res folder back to original apk and deleting dalvick cache the app will still FC.
Should i still remove phone,contacts, and common folders?

Yes, I believe this apk has to be signed.
I'm not sure about the coping you were referring to earlier. After decompiling the apk, open the xml's you want to edit, edit in notepad++, and save. Recompile, then sign.
Xml's have to be recompiled after editing.

Ok, thank you very much. How do you know when an app should be signed. Until now every edit I've done had been smali edits and after compiling I'd just copy the classes.dex file from new app to orig and then push apk back to phone.

Framework-res and SystemUI are different because they are system apk's. I had to sign the dialer apk to get it to work.

!! Let the Themes Begin !!
First off ... MadProps to the our android trailblazer JF for his smali/baksmali/deodexerant toolset, w/out these, we wouldn't have this ... so HUGE THANKS!
That said ... due to his great work ... you can and *should* donate to him here ... https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=1014600
** What we got here !! **
De-odex'd app/framework for the Nexus1 Stock ERD79 build from Google and the resulting theme templates!
Everything is de-odex'd except core.jar, which is fine for theme-ing (and pretty much all other) purposes.
UPDATED: 1/13/2010 - !!!
- These are now (v2) Theme Templates. Same templates as before, except, now basically these templates no longer nuke the entire system/app & system/framework. Instead this update-script was altered to only nuke .odex files (using remtool.sh) in system/app and system/framework. This will allow users to save their manually *pushed* apps to system/app when applying a theme!
- For themers who used the older v1 templates ... simply add the remtool.sh script to the base of the theme.zip and update the META-INF/com/google/android/update-script, to get the newer functionality! Enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: These ThemeTemplates have only been tested on TheOfficial Nexus1-Expansion v1.3 (discontinued) & Cyanogen's Makin Bacon' Addons (discontinuing .... I assume).
THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE with cyanogen's CM-MOD-5.0 or my TheOfficial v1.4 and beyond.
They will likely work on any other STOCK Android-2.1-ERD79 based ROM's depending on what the dev has implemented.
I will maintain my own theme templates in my threads going forward, since the ROM customizations have begun. Good Stuff
These templates remain a great starting point, as well as a way for users who simply root, to still theme their own basic rooted builds.
Below are (2) theme templates ... the first is untouched plain jane, just simply de-odex'd.
The 2nd is untouched as well ... except the statusbar text's have been made white already. I did this to hopefully expedite the emergence of "black statusbar" themes quickly!!!
UnTouched - De-ODEX'd

Here's the transparent version of the GenieWidget.apk from an earlier release. I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615700 if anyone wants more information.
I figured it'd be useful for the theme folks out there. I personally prefer this over the one that came with the phone.

Is there a guide on how to theme?
I'm pretty handy with Photoshop and wouldn't mind having a go at making a theme!
Don't you simply replace the images shown in the theme? Well of course, after opening the apk file and looking at the contents. The pictures do come as indexed though, but you could simply convert them to RGB for a minute to apply more eccentric colors, and convert them back. I did this; I don't have my Nexus yet, sadly, so I don't know if my simple method really works.
Don't feel like tryin' on my G1.

You can open the apk files with WinRAR, from what I've seen, the themes are set up like this. (When you open the .zip file in WinRAR)
System > Framework > framework-res.apk (which is where you really need to be) > res > drawable-hdpi is where all the images are used in the theme, from my personal understanding.
But you should talk to a professional themer, I'm just a guy who can graphic design a tad, and easily replace images. Um, and about the duplicate thing, I have no idea, I really just open the image file up, then right click on the image and edit it with my image editing program, and save - so that I don't have to extract the files myself.

Cheers for that! Will try tomorrow on my Mac hopefully should extract with UnRarX.
This pc doesn't have WinRAR so cant try it now (Family PC used for just Facebook...)
The .9.png cant just be edited,if you edit them you will need to use a tool called draw9patch in the sdk tools folder and set the guides and then re-sign the image with eclipse.
Guide for.9.png
Version 5 will be out in the next day or so and will be revamped to include many other apps and some new upgrades. Just wanted to put it out there for those that use this theme that its gonna be bigger and better.

Also you should add Better keyboard to it and use DEEP BLUE theme it would go perfect with it. I have the .apks if you would like to do this.

use something like 7zip. download the zip file. open up file with 7zip. /system has the app files
/framework has the core sytem files. ull mainly work with htcresources.apk and framwork res. apk or something like that. click on the apk u want to look into. find the res file in there and copy it to desktop or a file on computer. open that res file up to see thumbnails of file. do ur editing. be careful with .9 files(stretchable files). they r tricky. read up on how to edit those. once ur done doing edits...either drag and drop or compy files back to the zip/res file that is open in 7zip. close down 7zip.
download fresh prekitchen select tools then sign zip. choose the zip file u edited. rename it then create file. in order to do this u have to down load JDK and JRE (java development kit and java runtime enviroment). google the two or look in some of the stickys to find the website to download. install those two files then u should be able to sign the zip and that makes it able to be flashed through recovery. I would download and install both files. some people will tell u by installing JDK that JRE is automatically installed but it wasnt for me and whats it gonna hurt.
good luck.

Hello All!
Here is my first theme for metamorph - Cyanified, updated to version 1.2. I have been wanting cyanification, but with all stock icons as the base... I didn't see any themes that fit the bill.
This will work on Stock Froyo (tested), and should work on any rom. It does not adjust services.jar, only images inside the framework-res.apk. You will need the lastest (xml) version of Metamorph, this will not work on the older .thm version of metamorph. It should also work if you are using a dark header bar, as I do not adjust the header images at all.
To go back to your original icons, you can flash your rom (without wiping).
To Do:
Finish up the .9png's. I've done a lot of them, but there's a lot more to do to get this themed fully.
Make some changes to Launcher2.apk for those using the stock launcher or who have moved their favorite launcher to /system/app/Launcher2.apk
Custom keyboard for HTC IME
Dialer adjustments (possibly)
Screenshots:

Here's some shots of it with the LeoFroyo 0.4.1 rom, which has a black header as default:
I'm not providing any header options (neither black no transparent), you'll have to find a theme or mod, then apply this morph. As always, be sure to do a nandroid before making any major changes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Simply download the file below, extract it on your computer, move the extracted "cyanified" folder to "Android Themes" folder on your sdcard, and choose the .xml file in metamorph to apply it. It will cause a reboot since it is adjusting framework-res.
CHANGELOG:
v1.2 - Minor change to cyanified.xml, simply fixes an error upon applying (theme still works in v 1.1)
v1.1 - Completed .9.png files in the framework-res folder
Any suggestions or critiques welcomed!
Yes why not I'm interested ....
Thanks .
This looks awesome, do want.
I too would love a theme like this one.
Cyanogen has my heart. <3
...okay, that was a bit much.
Ok, I've uploaded version 1~
Enjoy!!
I've just uploaded version 1.1, now fully themed within framework-res. Enjoy! Will post more photos soon!
Is it possible for you to make a file for metamorph that just changes the lock screen? I like the whole theme, but i want to just use the cyan colored lock screen for now.

Just unzip the file, open up framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/ and delete all the files you don't want to change.
So you'll be left with only these (I think this is all of them)

I guess you'd have to apply a theme or rom with the black status bar, and then apply this morph. You'd want the clock font to be white, and if you are on stock froyo that won't be possible.
I just switched to the LeoFroyo rom which has a black statusbar option, I'm going to test this morph on it and post some pictures.

Just unzip the file, open up framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/ and delete all the files you don't want to change.
So you'll be left with only these (I think this is all of them)

i deleted all the other png's other than this one, and re-zipped. I am getting control errors so I uninstalled metamorph and reinstalled the newest from the market. Then I renamed the xml file to the same name as the zip file (saw in another thread to do this) and I am still getting control file error. Also reduced delay to ~2500, no go. Any ideas?
thx

Don't rezip. Just delete the files you don't want, then upload the folder to Android themes. Don't change the name of the xml file.
I am currently theming the TouchWiz on ICS to look more like ICS. This is what I have so far:
{
"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"
}
The two things I'm currently having is that
1) I'm not sure how to safely theme the button that says "Clear" when you have notifications. The files look a bit weird and have shadows on them.
2) I want to make the status backgrounds black (Info, USB connected for example). I've looked around, but all the images mentioned don't exist in the SystemUI or framework-res apks.
You'll need to edit /system/framework/twframework-res.apk as well.
I'm more curious how you were able to get the framework files to recompile. I wasn't able to without APKTool spitting out tons of of errors. I've even updated to the most recent aapt.bat file and I still get nothing but errors.

APK Manager was throwing the same errors. All errors with the public.xml and strings.xml files. I just downloaded the deodexed ROM so I'm going to see if that makes a difference.

By the way, I have themed SystemUI, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk for GB if you'd like the files. PM me and I can send them or setup a download for you guys.

ICS has changed a lot of the theming layouts and changed the backgrounds from images to color codes. You can change the color codes by editing the XML in the drawable folders or you can redirect them back to using images. Look at the status bar expanded XML in the layout folder of the system UI and that will lead you to where you need to look

You need to decompile the apk to see the xmls. Just unzipping them will no longer work.
How are you guys getting the TW apks on ICS to decompile correctly? I have tried to decompile the Camera.apk and Contacts.apk from a deodexed rom and both apktools and APK Multi-Tool just throw me the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: bad magic value: 64 65 78 0a 30 33 36 00". It always works fine with the GB TW apps... Maybe I will give it a try on Ubuntu quick.
But any insight on this would be wonderful.

Have you installed the proper frameworks with apktool? Also at the moment there is a special set up for working with ICS apks. A search for decompiling ICS will get you there

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

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)
