Hey thanks for doing that for me. It looks a lot different then I was picturing in my mind lol. They don't look like bubbles anymore. Don't want to be a bother but I have no idea how to theme or anything anyway you can make it more of a grey background? And have the conversation list just plain white without that design?

lol yeah, i'm afraid true bubbles (ala iphone) would require a complete rewrite due to the way google coded the backgrounds as attached to each text message foreground instead of having one single background. I'll see what i can do- shouldn't take long (I'm bored at work lol)

The way your other one was was great with that little indent going into the pic. Or maybe a white background with a light grey incoming and light blue outgoing. Similar to the imessage bubble colors on iOS. And if you could do the stock green icon too. Haha again sorry to be a bother

That little indent comes from contacts or google plus having sync on (i think). I did update the OP with something a little more tame lol (gray main screen background and white conversation background)

Yeah these 2 look tacky (maybe not the right word) in my eyes compared to your other post with the colors. No offense please maybe its just in my mind. And obv not complaining over your hard work. Last request I promise, but do you by chance have the stock mms apk with stock icon? Figure this would be the easiest request. I'm running nitroz's black exodus and just hate the all black mms

You can extract it from any rom you need. Download, unzip, and it's in /system/app/mms.apk.
ps. and don't worry about it- I suck at aesthetics. Was it just the texture you like about the other?

No idea how to do that. And I don't have a working computer right now

No problem

All issues should be resolved. I still have a few ideas, but they're still in development for now

Dreaded FC is now fixed!

I really love your mod!
Is it possible to make one without the text shadow and where the bubbles touch each other (like in stock MMS.apk)?

[Q] Notification Bar color change.

I'm looking for an easy way to change the background color of the notification. I do NOT want to change any icons, notifications, fonts, pulldown menu or anything else. I downloaded a theme that I like other than the notification bar color which makes it difficult to read some icons. Also a focus on the easy way is perfered and I'm not into modification that requires me to edit .zip files.
Thanks in advance for the help.

That's what theme I've got now and I like it other than the Notification Bar color and pattern, should be black or transparent.
While you are in there changing the color of the Notification Bar wanna change another thing while in there? The status bar is green, like when changing volume, loading web sites, downloading progress, ect..., and previously I had a theme that had those blue.

thanx for givin me the opportunity to help the community...
so you want dog gone blues to have a trans or black taskbar & to fix the progress bars to be blue again??? if thats all ill have that done in a couple hrs or less... i could do it faster but im in the middle of makin a requested theme
Yep, that's what I'm lookin for.
Thanks for doing that for me. I haven't gotten that far into MODing my Epic where I make changes or even start from scratch on making themes or other modifications. I got the Samsung Epic days after my son was born so to sit down on a PC and work on this kinda stuff is difficult. I will get into it more probably once the Epic Touch comes out as my son will be old enough to entertain himself while I do this kinda stuff myself.
Thanks again.

ok cool but for what theme... lol pd ani's hafta be themed to whatever theme it will be used for bc the add on itself is only available in stock froyo or gb
unless the theme your using has it baked in then all i gotta do is pull the images from the 1 theme change em white & put em on the other theme, instead of completely re-theming the pd ani add on to what theme your on & all the above
both dont take that long changing the animation's images takes the longest i just need to kno where to start
The same one you made me the last one from but with the honeycomb animation in white. I can post a link for whatever you need ie the blue pulldown ani or the one you made me for th White Shadow theme

Thanks, looks exactly like what I was asking for. Its greatly appreciated that you could do those changes, esp in such a short turn around time.
But... (of course there is always a but) some other things.
Can you get rid of that blue checkerboard pattern that you got rid of in the Notification Bar through out the entire Theme? Messing around with it I noticed that it has that pattern in the apps if you bring up the menu. Really just anywhere that checkerboard blue/black pattern is can just go away as it is annoying and ugly.
Another thing, when in the menu of the Browser and Calendar, if More is selected the background color is dark navy blue and the short cut font color is a real dark grey meaning you can not read it since they are so close in color. So far I have only noticed it in the Browser and Calendar app but guessin that its also elsewhere that I have not came across yet. Can you fix that? Just make it blue instead of navy blue or black or whatever you think would look good.
Last few things, just take out that Shutdown animation as I use the Helix Boot and Shutdown animations. Also remove the font that comes with it so it does not install a new one. Last remove the Calculator app as it has that ugly checkerboard blue/black pattern in it also. All these last things to remove are easy fixes for me to just install over them so not as big of deal but while in there modifying the .zip I thought I would ask.
Thats all I've got. I know its a lot but if ya get to it great, if not I understand, no hurry if you do.
Thanks again for doing what I asked for the first time, and so quickly, but we are all the same, we want our phones just the right way. Then after we get it there we either get sick of it or we jack something up and decided to start from scratch again. Its never ending...
Greenmuggy,
Another thing on a seperate subject. A while ago I made a post asking about this but no one was able to help me. I'm wondering about the Stock Calendar App, really its the Fascinate Stock Calendar App as I like the way it shows upcoming events without entering each date like the Epic Stock Calendar App, if there is a way to add "Saturday" to the First Day of Week setting. It has Sunday and Monday as current options but my actual work week starts on Saturday which is not an option. Just wondering if you had seen way to add this to the Fascinate Stock Calendar App. Its just another one of those minor annoyances that are out there.

Black SMS and Black Gmail

Hey all!
So back when I owned a Nexus S, someone made black versions of SMS and Gmail to appease the amoled screen, and the fact that it uses less power when switched to black.
So I have a question for you all... would you like to see these applications (and possibly more) dressed in black?
Opinions below!

I couldn't agree more on your vision of what these apps could look like. It would be perfect. And they would look very smooth, visually.

Absolutely agree with the other poster that black with the blue highlights would be REALLY nice. Why they didn't match them to ICS is ... odd.

Exactly... right around that idea would be perfect. If any of you have an older Gingerbread phone, I could upload the black apks I have sitting in my computer. Maybe we could check those out and get an idea of how to do this.

Thanks! Installed and working great.
Quick question, when we install these modified apps, can we still pull the updates to the apps? Like if for some reason the gmail app is updated and we're using the modified version, we can still download the update, it would just overwrite our modified app, right?

Cancel that. My Send button is gone, as well as my options to Reply All and Forward.
I tried this but it makes it almost impossible to tap the check mark so you can take multiple emails .. and any coloured html mail graphics look .. sub-optimal. I'd LOVE a blacked out version but the one at the link above is just not usable as a daily driver.
Does this work with Jelly Bean?

I would like to know where that image is and if I can photoshop it and replace it.
The place holder for the picture of an in call pic too.
Can anyone tell me where it is located and if I can edit and save it in photoshop.
The dark stuff is great but the place holders still light up my face and the inside of the car. Heh!

I second this. The themed apk is great but the white lines that are greenish on the sides disrupt the flow of an otherwise perfect theme.
I'd love to see the lines match the blue found throughout the OS for fluidity.
again, thanks for this!
The only thing I don't like us the white outline around the messages in the conversation view. It should be grey like it is in the thread list.

Great, hated the yellow hue to the white background. Works great on Eagle's 4.0.3
I really like it but I agree with the others.. the lines kind of break the flow a bit.

Loving this. Running fantastic on mine.
I read someplace someone was working in the email app. I wish I would have bookmarked the post. Anyone know?

[REQUEST] ICS Clock widget theming

anybody willing to take this clock widget

and change the color of the hands to the stock ics blue?
Also, change the color and transparency of the background to look more like the stock calendar widget or maybe the gradient of the settings background or the gradient found in the stock call log.
I dunno if this is possible, not too knowledgeable in app theming.
Thanks.

I added that version to the post with the other clocks. I put it at the bottom of the screen to demonstrate transparency.
Hey art, i don't want to impose but you seem like a nice dude so ill take my chances lol. Would you mind touching up a widget for me, just want the border transparent and the white text a light ics blue color
Even better, can you make a quick tutorial of how you do it.
Thanx

Border is no problem. Widget text is usually dependent on an xml code, but if it's easy to find, i'll take a stab at it quickly.
Thanks so much man for the reply! Here's the link. I hate white on the black and blue ics theme. If this XML code is easy to find, I wouldn't kill you of you made the red and white on the popcorn blue and black

Also your sig is beautiful. Do you have different color themes?

Been wanting to do a different color scheme, then i realize there are over 10,000 images total to be redone and then i go play Mass Effect lol. On the flixster widget, do you want the blue bg removed entirely, or just the black drop shadow gone? I don't see a proper border per say.
Yes that massive big blue thing

I'll remove it and sexify the bg instead. Should be done in 2 min.
Ohai there flixster
Thanks so much man! Looks great!

Modifying Dialer & Contacts Silhouettes

I'm trying to do a little theming with the phone dialer & contacts so I thought I'd start out with some easier ones like the dialer & contacts Silhouettes (see screenshots).
BTW, what used to be SecPhone.apk is now system/priv-app/SecTeleservice.apk. The silhouette images are there and I can change them out but there is no change in the dialer and contacts (contacts.apk changed too btw).
Any of you brainy themers out there can help with this one?
Tnx - TD
How to remove Banner from incall screen:
(Examples in attached screenshots 3 & 4)
Change only the values in InCallUI.apk/res/values/colors.xml to match:
Code:
<color name="incall_call_banner_active_bg">#00000000</color>
<color name="incall_call_banner_disconnect_bg">#00000000</color>
<color name="incall_call_banner_incoming_bg">#00000000</color>
<color name="incall_call_banner_onhold_bg">#00000000</color>
<color name="incall_call_banner_default_bg">#00000000</color>

Looks good so far! Definitely diggin' the black n blue themed contacts. Would be awesome if you could black out the dialer!

Ahh yes, I'm importing a theme from a Note 3. The image sizes are very similarly sized and I've used this guys work before. It's pretty awesome if I can figure out the file differences. Our 4.4.2 is totally different than the other builds out there.
I think the file we need to deal with is called InCallUI.apk. I side-tracked a little though because I'm trying to repair the InCallUI file so it will fully recompile so I can try removing the call banner because that method is not working an longer either.

Yes I believe you are correct, InCallUI and SecTeleservice are the main APKs for phone/contacts now.
What do you mean by "removing the call banner"?

An example of the call banner is that large green banner at the top of the screenshots I posted for the in-call screen. It changes color depending on the call status but I hate it, want it gone and prefer the full screen display without it. If I get it working, I'll post a screenshot so you can see the difference.

looking right now brotha....On the S4 the Call Banner was in res-Values-Colors.xml and was incall_call_banner_in_call_background...which i always made Transparent
Sammy moved a TON of stuff around and has throw myself oiff a bit too lol.
Im just a little over halfway with my stuff, but still working on the COntacts and Dialer
GImme one sec, lemme see if i can track it down real quick
EDIT....YWait....are talking about the GReen in the SS? or the In cAll banner when your in an actual call? THere is a Banner for "In Call" and "End Call" which is in the Colors XML in the TeleService apk. THat will get rid of the Banner there, which i reall Dislike. If your trying to get rid of that Ugly green, thats an image

I already tried the colors.xml edit in SecTeleService and it did not work so I'm going to give it a shot with InCallUI here in a bit.

That SS is the incall screen. Is there another one?

NO, your right..SOrry i might have confused ya lol. Some Edits need to be chnage, like icons and such, which have a label of "End Call" rather than "In Call"...
Interesting, some icons changed when I morphed incallui but still the silhouettes are the same. I'll have to go through the drawables and make sure the filenames are the same but I think they are.

i know how to REPAIR the InCallUI apk
Have you done that yet? You'll get the usuall "appt" errors, but it will recompile
HERE
Go To InCallUI>res>values-es>strings.xml
Then go to Line 544 and you'll see this: <string name="throttle_time_frame_subtext">"%1$d% del ciclo transcurrido.
Remove the last Percent sign from this "%1$d%" and make it this "%1$d"
InCallUI will now Recompile..You'll get the usual "appt" errors but it will be fine.

I only use the term 'Morph' as an acronym. I really do use VRTheme. The real Morph template does not play well with TWRP but seems to be ok in Philz but I stopped using it because of that.
Alright, looks like I found all the images for the silhouettes are new filenames in the callui file. I think I better resize all of them to make sure they are happy as well. That's going to take me a little while... I'll report back in later.

ohh sorry lol, ok nevermind, i was just reading one of your previous posts...My bad!!
Ok, I'm getting there.
I still don't have proper images for contact silhouette images though for some reason.
Got rid of the banners as well.

I gotcha. I'm gonna be home in an hour or so. If you want, you csn DL one of themes from the sprint S4 for a reference if you'd like. I gotta do this all myself today, so I'm gonna take it in a bit. There is a Contacts apk, just can't remember the correct file name off hand, but the contact photo will definately be there.

Great the avatar icons are killing me (the ones for the contacts/call logs/favorites). The only ones I can find are in SecSettings believe it or not but replacing them does not help.
Plus, I need a fresh set of eyes.
I posted a little guide on the OP to remove the banner from the call screens.
It is different than previous versions btw.

I actually like the banner. Would be cool if it was blue when connected and then red when ended though haha.
