I been lookin into skinnin the dialer in my ROM. I'm wanting to go black but am unable to find all the necessary files I need to edit.
Anyone know all the files needing to be edited?
All the images for the dialer are in Contacts.apk. Careful though, most are the tricky .9.png types. Finally for anything fancy like transparent background for the dialer as a whole, you'll need to decompile and modify xml, I believe.
FYI- Images and functions for in-call screens are in Phone.apk.

i dont have a contacts.apk... just a htccontact which dont contain any dialer images or I'm completely missing something
Sorry I was describing for a vanilla setup. No idea what apk serves up the dialer in Sense.

What rom are you using? I have a custom HtcDialer.apk that I modded to have white text and I have a metamorph to change the images in the resources as well. I'd be happy to share - the dialer is from Virtuous 3.1.
The only thing I haven't figure out is how to change the text when you're in a call. For some reason, when in a call, the dialer text turns back to black. I'm still trying to figure it out. If anyone happens to know what has to be changed to make the text white in a call, PM me!
IncROM is the Rom I want to skin

If you want to upload your Phone.apk and HtcDialer.apk I can edit them for you.
I will when I get back home....I appreciate the help

That thread is very helpful. I haven't ventured into changing the font yet, I just wanted to change the numbers to white and add a new button background which wasn't too bad.

If you were able to get it to work I'd like a black one with white numbers if you could post it.I'm using sky raider by the way.
Attached are the 2 files you requested. They are from the 3.26.605.1 leak, incase specifics are needed. Also, I will be sure to give you the credit when they make it into one of my ROM updates.
Thanks again OSully... most appreciated!!

Decompile the apk and change it inside the XML file

i'm a newbie at this. when you say to change it from inside the XML file, do you mean to change the color using MS paint, for example? can you explain how to do this?

If you're a newbe, I suggest hitting up Google and learning about the basics in android decompiling apks and XML format.

but dont they simply have a theme for that calendar? you know which one i'm talking about? its a dark/black theme that came in the galaxy S2.. i'm 99% sure theres a theme for it here that you can just simply install.
To make it as simple as possible look up this thread named JusTunBeans inverted apps. Has all what you need on there and comes as an aroma setup to.

As stated above, you will need to learn some things in order to get this. But give Android Pro Widgets a try. There's a ton of cool calendar widget themes for the paid version.

Edit: I'm actually somewhat awake now, so hows about I actually give a relevant suggestion: Agenda Widget by Sam Henwood
I've never played with a S2, but Gmail Widgets by KATZOFT has some nice dark themes. I really like it.
I completely hate asking for help and usually just figure it on my own because that's the best way to learn, and have done this before with other phones but that method just doesn't work for me on the s4.
So I've added my own shortcuts to the secsettings from Alpha rom, such as cloud storage (copy, Dropbox, drive), screen recording, pc connections (unified remote, team viewer), IR remote, etc etc and have everything how I want it.... Except one thing. I can not for the life of me change the background to a 50-75% transparent image.
So far I've changed the png, the theme in styles, color codes in colors, color codes in styles, and settings main xml, default theme lines in the Frameworks styles, changed the system background png, and a few other things I can't remember. But none give me what I want. When I first open the settings for a split second I see the transparent image I added but then it's soon covered with a black background.
So does anybody know how or where to edit for a transparent image to be the background of the sec settings?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Bummer nobody?
Maybe you should ask in the section called q&a, help & troubleshooting
Just a thought?

Well let's see.
Apk= application package
Which huh... application
And theme'n the apk aka application in question .... Holy **** theme and application. Which holy **** again we're in. It's probably the Oh I don't know the most appropriate forum for it. Which holy **** times 3 has a bunch of themers in it. Huh who the hell knew.
But thanks XDA mom for the suggestion. You were of much help.

Has the device themes in it, which I messed with by changing device theme to Device.Light which changes it to a light theme (white background/black letters). On other phones you were able to change it to Device.Transparent or Device.Transparentcy but those 2 error out on recompile.
Having a solid image is no issue by swapping out a png but using a transparent don't work because there's still a background being displayed behind it.

Right, well.. check this out:
okay, so this is how i was able to change the background of stuff like SecSettings.apk. ***warning, because of the way Samsung coded stuff, this will change the background of a lot of stock app stuff, ie MMS, Clock, etc.
you need to decompile your framework-res.apk
once this is done, nav to res\values\drawables.xml
change
<item type="drawable" name="screen_background_dark">#ff000000</item>
to (or whatever color)
<item type="drawable" name="screen_background_dark">@drawable/background_holo_dark</item>

You're the one complaining about not getting any replies. And before you go flipping out you should really read the rules. This sub topic is for releasing apps you've written or sharing apps specific to the s4. If you need help with something, that goes in the q&a , hence you have a question and are looking for an answer.

One I wasn't complaining.
Two if that's the case, you have some mall cop duties to jump on in some threads asking for Crap like live wallpapers and etc.
Three if you have an issue with where my thread is, I really don't give a Crap. Use the report button.

Only have an attitude towards people who try to play forum rent-a-cops who post useless Crap to what somebody is asking. Like I said kid, if you have an issue or your panties are in a wad of where my or any body's thread is located feel free to use the report button.
Notice no attitude to the one actually helpful guy that didn't play forum rent-a-cop? Yeah.
Is it possible to change the color of the icons in the contact list? The green is killing my b/w theme & I would like to change them to white.
Any input would be appreciated.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it is possible
Probably inside framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, or SecPhone.apk

I looked in SecContacts.apk.
Found, inside the drawable-sw359dpi-xhdpi folder, the icon that appears to match the one in the screenshot.
"ic_call.png"
There's a few others with the exact same icon in that folder and I have no idea which one Samsung's call log/contacts pulls from so I'd just change them all. (I hate how many redundant images exist in the Touchwiz Framework.)

You would need to pull the stock messaging.APK to your pc via ADB and then modify the RES/XML values yourself, then repack as an APK....

I am still trying.
I thought i had it down, but when i pushed the apk back to my phone as a system app, it just FCs.
Im still working on it and will create a thread when its done - hopefully i will get all LG apps with neutral Grey (hangouts color) opposed to puke yellow, etc.
Ill keep you posted
Yellow
Thanks a lot for trying. I hope you get it B4rnzEE! I will be the first to change the yellow!
I'm really looking forward to this! Can't wait!
