This thread is more of a polite request to any developer. I used a Samsung galaxy s3 with archidroid ROM which has been compiled with full -O3 archi optimisations http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2754997 and it was lightning fast :) I am (Politely) requesting any developer to create a Rom with these optimisations so we can all enjoy a buttery smooth experience.
Hello everybody ! today our guide is important and easy to learn, I'm gonna explain how to make a complete/advanced/full theme, with the ability to change everything ! from SystemUI icons ( Wifi .. etc ) to Apps icons or even Contact Icon, So ? what are you waiting for ! let's start the engine ! :D
In This First Full Guide, I'm gonna show what i've learnt in Xperia Lollipop theming field, without the " selfish " stuffs nor the " secrets ", because Knowledge must be for all, without any costs .. only Credits and putting Guide link costs :D :cool: .
Notes :
Read Number 4 For Making The Theme Change The App Content .
Don't Forget Me From Credits ;) .
The Way I Explain Is " Manual " Theming, You Can Use Theme Maker BETA From Sony .
Install Java .
Guide Requires Creative Person To Make Awesome Themes .
You Don't Need To Be A Programmer, Just Apktool .
Sections :
Creating Or Importing A Ready Project via Eclipse / Android Studio .
Edit android:minSdkVersion to the minSDK you selected .
Edit android:targetSdkVersion to the targetSDK you selected .
Edit package="theme.abohani.applicationname" to your theme package that you selected .
Edit android:versionCode and put the version code you want, ex " 1 " or " 21 " .
Edit android:versionName and put the version name you want, you can put letters too but without spaces .
In " <asset path="assetname.zip" target="app.package"> ", replace " assetname.zip " with the asset file located in YourProject/Assets, Ex : yourproject/assets/android.zip => path="android.zip " .
Replace " app.package " with the asset package, ex android = framework-res, so the package is " android ", ex2 SystemUI package is com.android.systemui, you can know it by decompiling the Apk, and check for " Package " in AndroidManiFest.xml .
Important, in " laf-version-filter " this is an important step to make the theme change the app content, let's take SystemUI for example, decompile it and navigate to AndroidManifest.xml, search for " laf ", you will see " laf version = 2 ", so you open your project AndroidManiFest.xml and edit " <laf-version-filter from="1" to="1" /> " to " <laf-version-filter from="2" to="2" /> ", Make it match the Laf version .
Editing Strings.xml .
Navigate to YourProject/res . Delete everything expect " values " folder . Open it and open Strings.xml . Replace the content with this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="semc_theme_title">Xperience | MaTeRiaL Blue</string> </resources>
Replace between " > < " with your Theme Name .
Editing Screens Preview - Lollipop Only .
Navigate to Values folder again . Create " arrays.xml " file in it . Put this content in it :
When you Open Themes Picker in your Xperia, you will the a preview you made it for the theme .
Now, Download this FILE,then put the drawable-xxhdpi folder in " res " folder, and modify the " pre1 " image, if you want to add more Screens, just make another image and add another line in " arrays " .
Edit the images, but PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY THEMES ICON STYLE .
4. Notes Making Theme Change Everything .
There are 2 reasons for not being able to change the theme content fully .
You Didn't Put The Correct LAF Version .
The App You Need To Change Needs Skin-Permission.xml file editing, See This Guide For Info .
5. Creating Assets Files .
Making An Asset file is pretty easy, first you need the apk you want to theme, let's take how to make SystemUI Asset file as an example, and then you can make a one like it :
Download & Decompile This Asset File . Delete The res folder content . Decompile SystemUI.apk . Navigate to SystemUI/res, search for things you wanna edit ( see guide below for theming guide ), then copy the files you wanna edit or you the files you have edited them to " Asset/res ", and then recompile the app, and rename it to " com.android.systemui.zip " . After that go to AndroidManifest.xml, and put the correct Laf Version for the SystemUI, then replace " assetname.zip " with " ccom.android.systemui.zip ", and replace " app.package " with " com.android.systemui " ( the SystemUI package name ) .
Make the other assets files like it, See below for theming Guide .
6. Theming Android.Zip ( Framework-res ) .
[LIST][*]Download this asset file from here .[*]Decompile it .[*]Open res/values/colors.xml, Now you need to know what these lines mean :
<color name="somc_color_dark_primary_dark">#ff0288d1</color> This Is Semi-Main Color in Dark Themed Apps . ( Put A Darker Color More than " primary_dark " color )
<color name="somc_color_dark_primary_light">#ff0288d1</color> This Is Semi-Main Color in Light Themed Apps . ( Put A Lighter Color More than " primary_light " color )
<color name="somc_color_primary_dark">#ff0288d1</color> This Is Main Color in Dark Themed Apps .
<color name="somc_color_primary_light">#ff0288d1</color> This Is Main Color in Light Themed Apps .
<color name="somc_color_accent_dark">#ff015785</color> This Is Secondary Color in Dark Themed Apps .
<color name="somc_color_accent_light">#ff015785</color> This Is Secondary Color in Light Themed Apps .
[*]For Editing Slider Look, like a thin slider or a bold one, just modify the height of these files, the color doesn't matter because it will be linked with somc_color_accent color .
somc_progress_bar_bg_dark.9
somc_progress_bar_bg_light.9
somc_progress_bar_primary_dark.9
somc_progress_bar_primary_light.9
somc_progress_bar_secondary_dark.9
somc_progress_bar_secondary_light.9
[*]For Editing Text Selector Buttons Look, Edit these, you can put shadows and stuff if you want, it's linked with " ?tintcolor ", put you can put your own style - " mrtl " are linked color, but the others are not linked, you need to modify both of them with the color you want :
Modify the images you want, then compile ( Images taken from Mad Max Theme - Icons names describe what they are ) .
7. Theming SystemUI .
First of all, the new Xperia Lollipop SystemUI is using " VectorType " images, to resize the Apk size, and not reducing drawables images, in previous version you have to add the same drawable to different screens, now you only need to put it as a VectorType image and it will Auto-Resize, So there are two ways to modify SystemUI Icons / Toggles :
Editing VectorType Images, Open the Drawable folder, then open the drawable you want to edit, like " ic_qs_airplane_on ", and you will see " path data ", So how to replace it ? First you need to have your icon in SVG, create it in SVG Software or Convert it to SVG ( not-tested ), after that open that SVG icon with notepad++ and copy the path data and replace it with the current.
Replacing Drawables With Images, If you don't like the VectorType way, you can make an image with the same drawable.xml file and put it in your screen dpi, for example : ic_qs_airplane_on.xml, replace it with ic_qs_airplane_on.png in Drawable-xxhdp, for the height & width .. take it from Kitkat SystemUI so it can match the xxhdpi screens and not being mis-sized .
Replace " background_dark " with a darker color than " primary_dark " in android.zip .
Same for Light .
For Translucent, you can delete, deleting it means the apps that use Transparent SystemUI bar not going to have a colored SystemUIbar, if you add it you will have your Color .
Please note there are some images can be found in drawable-xxhdpi folder you can edit, like Data Toggle icon, and other .
8. Theming Home ( Launcher ) .
In Home.Apk there are a lot of images to edit, but here's a list for the " important ones " :
For Editing Apptray Slider/Drawer background, modify this image " apptray_drawer_background.9 " .
For Editing the divider between the sections in Apptray Slider/Drawer, modify this " drawer_list_divider.9 " .
For Editing the Selected Apptray Slider/Drawer Background ( When you long press a category ), modify this " drawer_list_selected.9 ", give it opacity, do not make it a solid color .
For Editing Apptray Slider/Drawer Text Color, Modify this apptray_drawer_text_color in values/colors.xml .
For Editing Apptray Slider/Drawer Badge Text Color , Modify this apptray_drawer_badge_text_color in values/colors.xml .
For Editing Home Badge Text Color, Modify this home_badge_text_color in values/colors.xml .
For editing Apptray Slider/Drawer Background, modify this apptray_drawer_background in values/colors.xml if only Editing Drawable didnt work .
9. Theming Clock .
Clock got only Tab icons & apps icons to edit, So here is the way to modify them all :
Modify them, and you can modify the other icons, but these are the " main " ones .
11. Theming Phonebook .
Again nothing to modify in Phonebook, only Contact icons and other less-important icons, which can be found in drawable-xxhdpi, but for editing Dial button color, follow this :
Replace the hex codes, the " name " describe what it means .
14. Theming Settings .
Only Drawables to Modify, nothing in " Colors " really important .
15. Theming Camera & Notes & Calendar & Email.
Camera :
Only Drawables, like Manual Mode, Smile ..etc, and there's Settings Text Color, which i don't advice to mode it .
Notes :
Notes App isn't completely in Material Design, so you can modify the drawables, and it contains the Small App ( Recorder & Notes ), you can modify them there .
Calendar :
Only App Icon .
Email :
Only Icons & Apps Icons - they are already in Material Design .
16. Theming Small App Launcher & Small Apps
Notes & Recorder Small-Apps Can Be Found in Notes App .
Active Clip : Only Drawables .
Browser : Only Drawables .
Caculator :
Flat Look, Make the following images transparent ( delete the layers and replace them with empty ones ) .
calc_equals_btn_pressed
calc_equals_btn
calc_display
calc_btn_clear_pressed
calc_btn_clear
For Text Color & Background, can be found in Colors.xml .
Hi, Im new to this device but right after I got it I did the right thing and voided my warranty :) Rooted and installed a custom recovery. The recovery has been a bit of a pain but that is a story for another thread.
The problem I am having is that when I try to take a backup from recovery it errors (I forget the error, sorry. ) however the backup is still right there in the backup directory. I tried a second attempt at a backup (to see if it would error again) and these two backups filled my remaining memory. lI of course used my file explorer to delete these extraneous backups-- only to see that they are not deletable. I also tried on the PC. The folder lists read and write in the permissions. I am kind of at a loss as to what to do. IIRC correctly from a while back with this issue the answer lies somewhere in CHMOD, but I cant quite seem figure it out. CD to the directory in a terminal emulator and then CHMOD 777? Thanks for your help in advance.
Hello everyone,i wanted to ask if when you do a flash of a stock firmware with Odin, there is a Full Wipe bringing the Notes 2 SCH-i605(first was his, now it has passed to me)to factory,because my sister said that any Samsung flash a stock firmware with Odin is No Wipe! I always Full Wipe and to you?
I bought a UG007 android hdmi stick to watch films in 1080p on my hdtv. however, when I start the device, it doesn't fill the whole screen. It starts to fill it only once I turn the slider in the "screen zoom" part of the settings. I worry that I may not be getting full 1080p image but rather something upscaled. With the screen zoom slider at its lowest setting, it looks like this:
The problem (?) is not solved even if I put some other firmware (Finless Rom with a 1080p kernel) on the device.
Hey guys I have a SM-G530H XXU baseband on Lollipop 5.0.2 Russian build. It works perfect in my Indian phone except one thing. I don't see any more album art on my lockscreen like in KK 4.4.4. Please help. Do I have to use Google music player for it to work or what? Second thing, last night my wallpaper went black and recent apps stopped showing up and it kept saying process system has stopped. I cleared dalvik and cache and fixed permissions and it worked again. Please help with these 2 issues
Today, I decided to unroot and factory reset my phone. When it booted up again, I noticed that I can't take any pictures or download music. I couldn't even take screenshots of the warning message so I had to do it with my dad's phone.
The phone says I have no storage space when I obviously do. How do I fix this?
I've tired googling this problem but I couldn't find much.
Here I am, giving away a Nexus 5 sticker skin. It's black carbon fiber imitation (similar to this: http://goo.gl/guGp2W). There's no rule of the giveaway. First one to send me a PM, gets the skin. Sadly for some, this will be limited to Romania. The skin will be sent via national postal service, except if the winner wants otherwise, case in which the winner pays the shipping. Good luck!
So, yesterday I flashed my phone from lollipop to kitkat after a version for my phone was finally released due to a member of this community(thank you <3) and everything went smoothly and I had no hiccups during the process... but once I restarted my phone, I noticed I didn't have 1x, 3g, or 4g as a signal indicator but I had full service and I could make calls.... just no texts or data.
Any idea how to fix this? I should note I'm using nTelos.... and it's CDMA.
I can sometimes get it to connect to 3g using an APN edit in the hidden settings but after like 5 minutes it goes back to full bars and no data connectivity.
I bought it on eBay one head unit with the following originals characteristics: CPU: Cortex A9 Dual-Core 1Ghz GPU: Mali 400 RAM: 1GB DDR3 Android Version: 4.4 (but really is 4.2) MCU original Version: 4.3.11-1-03-615101-150112 System Version: 2.9.5_20150413
Anyway, I tried to update the MCU with the head unit who brought extra settings -> model choose, but the upgrade to 4.3.13 everything works fine except the lights that indicate the volume level, and that is not moved up or down the volume. I suppose that changing the MCU has stopped working. How could recover the original MCU? I contacted the seller, but no longer sold items on eBay and I doubt I answer.
