Hello there, noob here
I'm getting confused with all the info about the SGII out there, so I wonder:
1) I've got the Lightning ROM installed and it says there in the desc "better camera", is this a different hack from the one Potatoman released here? And if it is, can I savely install the 192kbps audio hack with that ROM and do I lose the camera improvements that came with that ROM?
2) Is there a way to invert the system colours easily, like have dark text on white background instead of the bright text on black background thingy?
I mean not just for themes (e.g. homescreens etc) but for the system menus etc, so it'll have a coherent, seemless look? I did stumble upon the "Change colours" tutorial here but it seems rather tricky and I'm scared to fiddle with the system files on my own :/
Or is there -perhaps- some ROM out there that includes such already?
Don't get me wrong, I don't think the white text on black bg is bad per se but I find it easier on the eyes if it's the other way round (like it's on the iPhone *cough*)
Cheers!
Have a Dell Streak 5?, Have an insaitable taste for sweet honeycomb and will stop at nothing until you get some?
Well, we'll just have to wait, but in the meantime, this may help with your cravings.
Here it is. Hope everyone likes it. Built and Tested on StreakDroid 1.9.1
I would encourage you to try it on any DeOdexed ROM 351 and later; but remember:
Nandroid Backup First! Serious::At least have a flashable .zip of current framework on sdcard(ie UOT.zip) just in case!
Tested on low and high res. battery in status bar is HC and has 100 images and animations<fun>, but no numbers. I trust everyone will use UOT for their own personal battery preferences. Also incuded honeycomb font for Clocktopia/lockscreen.
As of v0.6.0, I have included a custom status bar clock that uses DroidSerif-Regular.ttf, use a 3rd party app to change to attached Clocktopia.ttf, for honeycomb effect! Anywhere serif is used, you may get clocktopia which isnt really readable on froyo, but I have checked and havent seen it used anywhere actually. I originally had monospace, but that screws up some files in root explorer text editors. If you dont want this mod, simply open the .zip as an archive and delete services.jar from framework folder, enjoy!
link to font changer free in market... https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite&feature=search_result
install font changer, creates a default directory on sdcard named .fontchanger/,copy clocktopia.ttf from next post to this directory in sdcard. when you open font changer it should scan and show you have clocktopia. I recommend unchecking quick restart in font changer settings. click on advanced, click on DroidSerif-Regular.ttf and choose to replace it with clocktopia.ttf. choose apply and reboot later, then reboot manually. (works better I think) that's it about it, when you change a font; it says it makes a back up and that you can long press on the changed font and choose to restore original. If it does not restore original font, choose to uninstall app from within font changer settings, and it will restore all original fonts.
Please let me know what you think, and I would like to see a screenie of portrait lockscreen.
Known issues: on low res/mdpi I have noticed in stock email I get large buttons for options at bottom of screen. Many images for mdpi I used hdpi where I could. These are the only 3 buttons I have seen so far, and they are actually seem much better big anyways. This Im sure can be fixed If theres enough interest. I put a lot of work and time into this.
Thats about it enjoy!
screenshots are at stock 160dpi, I use 210.
see post#97 and #99 for blue status bar clock MOD. (#97 is full theme, the other is clock Mod only.)

Reserved for future, edits,updates; and more screenshots
v0.6.3 : minor changes: changed status bar clock to Slate blue/gray blends much nicer. Added honeybee to pull down, visible @ 160 &240 dpi. Changed "Phone options" to "tablet options" changed "your phone will shut down" to "your Streak will shut down". Oh and changed a few black status bar icons to show better, like bluetooth. I think thats it for now, been looking into other things but running into dead end with my limited .java / .smali code knowledge. screenies here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16568716&postcount=125
v0.6.2: themed volume popup HUD, thought it was .xml, just a .9.png. that was easy. looks nice too
v0.6.1: volume and seek bars slimmed down and changed to green like real HC. From now on, unless I edit services.jar, the .zip in 1st post will have BLUEclock in status bar, the White Stock .zip is in post #99, if you want to revert, just flash that. More updates planned, stay tuned.
v0.6.0 Removed date from pull down and changed status bar clock font..please see first post for more info and instructions. See last two screenshots in this post for update. This is flashing services.jar, so give it 5 minutes to boot.
v0.5.9: Without carrier version only now. changed pulldown to all black so it crops right at all lcd densities. changed all mdpi lockscreen icons to standard mdpi 64px.
v0.5.8, dark blue sliders! had to edit .xml, I thought for sure they were a .9.png. Getting the hang of this. Next I think I will remove am/pm from status bar clock, might change the color too..
v0.5.7 All Black Status bar, nice new usb icon to go with that, and pull down all black with bee.
v0.5.6NoCarrier updated: removed carrier text from drop down menu. File size increased so had to host it.
v0.5.5: Both versions: mostly resized mdpi stuff including vibrate lock screen tab icon, change some menu press highlights, and changed search bar size in mdpi. NO Carrier on Lockscreen!!, still on pull down until I get it to build...Still cant find the damn large email buttons on stock email on hdpi, see know issues: not really a huge issue. Hope you all enjoy it!!
v0.5.3NoCarrier:**update: fixed no charging battery** added, no carrier in status bar. Will look into removing it elsewhere. <finally understand how to edit xml and update; not as easy as it would seem there are steps missing that I normally wouldn't think of.>
v0.5.3 changed data icons (eg. 3G, H Edge to match light blue honeycomb). [IF you ever get a system force close on startup, just pull battery and should boot normally. Maybe a good idea to clear cache after this]
v.0.5.1 changed a few icon, home icon from ginger to honeycomb, changed button to proper proportion, and changed volum bars colors to.a darker blue and removed ugly disabled button backgrounds
v0.4 White on Black Menus! Enormous thanks to TheManii for help with this. Really breaks ground to hopefully more themes/mods/etc. Thank You!
v3 uploaded.. trying glowing sound jog tabs, best I could do at the moment, should be better, but jog tab vibrate looks better with glow.
If .zip is unavailable, wait a few minutes or check back later should be updated, Thanks!
nice!!!!!thanks
sure, no prob. (well, a little hassle, but a learning experience.) looks so much better than stock. gotta have it.
Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!
Nice work Chris!
While I probably won't be installing this theme (got things the way I like em now) it looks outstanding. The Google search is a work of art. I would love to install just that on my home screen.
Keep up the great work
kraz
a little searching you could have found them.
I found these a while back,
on xda I think..
only will work on deodexed ROM I believe. backup and delete originals, rename and place new themed ones in /system/app. Set permissions to same as all other /system/apps, and reboot and they will install.
Tip: the google search one can be tricky.before moving it into system make sure its not named same as stock. after moving, rename it. If the icon changes to a stock "g" logo for the application, it wont work, this one is strange.
Geez Chris...What can't you do?!!
GoogleSearchBox looks great and works well on my Simple Streak 1.2 odexed device. No problems installing it either.
Seriously...THANK YOU!!!
kraz
I had searched for them many months ago and came up empty. forgot about it until I saw your screenies.
Holy crap! You themed EVERYTHING! Very nice work, beautiful job. I love the extra splash of color you gave even the home menu (Add, Wallpaper, Search, Settings, etc).
Here is that portrait screen cap. Looks very nice.
did the honeycomb font not stick? it should have. you also use font changer to edit Clocktopia. and the sound slider I might have to downsize a bit you can see the transparent square jog tab
You know I flashed that straight over top of my BlueStreak5 theme and I guess it didn't give me the HC font on the clock. Everything else looked great, pop up window color, scroll bar color. I did notice the volume slider on the lock screen has a bit of square halo that was only really noticeable on the super dark HC wallpaper.
Awww... when I flashed back to BlueStreak5, it didn't keep your pop window theme, power menu, home menu, etc. I was hoping it would
new update coming shortly, updates jog tabs glow, less boxxy as well
How about the battery with a percentage.

What is this app called? I can't find it. I got settings.apk inverted but when I click on manage applications, its not inverted so it must be a different app.
no one knows? Im going to have to start decompiling apps 1 by 1 til i find it? lol
I Doubt Anyone Can Help With A Vague Question. I See Manage Applications, Theme, And Inverted. Can You Give More Information About What Your Seeking?
I am using the Droid X2 running Eclipse 2.2. I have themed the settings.apk file. All is well except when I click on "Manage Applications" from inside settings. This tells me that Manage Applications is a separate app than settings. It just shows up in the settings menu. Much like Angry Birds would show up in the App Drawer even though its not part of appdrawer.apk.. or whatever its called.
I am trying to find the file in system/app that controls "Manage Applications".
That there is about as specific as I can get.
Xkape, where did your inverted theme go? Since our recovery requires ac power I didnt want to chance an outage with Irene doing her thing.
I love dark themes and the inverted theme looked awesome. Hopefully you pulled it to tweak something, unless I am completely blind and I'm just missing it.
jeremy, i never posted it here. I did at Droidforums and at rootzwiki. But, now I am updating it to 0.4 since that came out today. Eclipse I mean.
I will post it here but I am waiting on something that hasn't happened yet. When it does, I'll post it.
I know what you want!!! I know what you want!!!!! You want to theme the application manager from the settings menu!!!! Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications right???!!!
you are RIGHT my friend!!! I see the xmls in the settings.apk but I dont see where there is anything to edit. I assumed it was another app but now I just think I am overlooking something.
Unfortunately I just figured out what you are talking about but know way too little about how to do what you want.... Sorry...
Bump...anyone figure this out yet? Im trying to change text colors in manage applications on eclipse .2.2 because its white text on white BG
Yeah I got it figured out. I didn't see the code in the xmls so.. I just made my own. Works fine. you need to add android:textColor="#ff000000" if you want the text black. Stick any code you want in there though.
What xml's did you use to change the text color for the app name? I have look over manage_applications and manage_applications_item and found nothing. In manage_applications you can change the text color from black to white but that is only for Application Storage and Internal Storage located at the bottom. In the running section everything turn out perfect but not in the downloaded, all and media area have black text.
I need change this display. Please help me, how i can do this? Xperia Mini

try some launchers
launcher only will "remove" that buble corner from your homescreen, not from dial screen. that you need to install an apps like fullscreencaller or that kind of app.
Good afternoon!
I have exactly the same question. How to remove this ugly picture? It's bugging me for some time. What were the developers thinking when they create such things? For f****s sake it is a 16M color display, with HD support? And to look at this UGLY out of resolution default caller id?
Is there a way maybe to modify framework?

oh, right, my bad
this file should be in framework. but when i searched there is no file like this. must be some translucent png so i didn't found. just find that file and replace it with any same dimensional file or full transparent png
You should install cm7 instead, them you can change both the call screen and the incoming call screen to a couple of different alternatives

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but couldn't find the answer else where.
So, did any one figure out how to remove that useless back ground picture in contacts or replace with a different grahic or something ?
I tried to search for an app (like FullScreenCallerId for Symbian) that does that, but couldn't find one.
Thanks.
All you need to do is change callhandling_contact_picture_default.png in SemcPhone.apk. Either try to do something artistic or do what I did and just make it transparent.
Hi,
I have installed GingerDX (v027) on my X8. In the Theme Chooser I have two themes to choose from: ICS and System (which is the one I use).
I really like how my phone looks as it does now, the only thing I would like to change is the color of the icons in the status bar (and of the main icons, if possible, of Call, Messages, Browser and the like) from green to something else, preferably blue.
I asume the right way to do this is by changing the theme (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I've read that CyanogenMod usually comes with three default themes (one theme in three different colors) and I would like to know where I might be able to find those themes (again, I'm asuming that the one I'm using, System, is one of those three).
I have tried downloading CM7 and extracted the files in the hope that I could find .apk files for the themes, but if they're there I don't know what they're called (there is a ThemeChooser.apk (and a ThemeChooser.odex file that I don't know what does), which I asume would install the app Theme Chooser again, but I don't know if the themes are included in that install).
I am a bit worried, though, that I've misunderstood something, because when I try to apply the other theme, Ice Cream Sandwich, the color of the icons aren't changed (but, there is also a warning when I try to apply the theme about missing assets for my screen size, maybe that is what is screwing things up). But if I have misunderstood this entire thing and a theme doesn't change the colors, then what does (do I need to get a new launcher for that then)? (I have the Nemus Launcher that came with GingerDX by the way)
Okay, this got a bit lengthy, so to recap:
I want to change the standard green color (to blue) without changing much else (I'm not too fond of most other themes I've seen, so the default theme in other colors would be fantastic)
Is it possible to find those default themes, and if so, how and where?
Thank you for your help,
Erica
(A side question: how do I delete the ICS theme?)
The other two themes you are talking about are Cyanbread and Androidian. The ThemeChooser.apk it's the theme chooser itself. They are normal CM7 themes, like ICS. Devs have eventually removed those 2 themes from their ROMs because they were old and not maintained anymore. System theme is the default theme of CM7/Gingerbread. You can't uninstall that one.
The "missing assets for the screen size" it's a bug which appears whenever you try to apply an MDPI theme. It's not screwing up anything, I can assure you that.
Also, what colors are you trying to change? Maybe you could give some screenshots.
You can delete the ICS theme by going into system/apps/ with a file manager with root capabilities.
First of all, thank you for the quick reply! (that was so unexpected - I guess I'm used to slow moving forums)
Secondly, it worked! Once I knew the names of the themes it was easy to find them. Also, thank you for the general info - it's good to know (I'm slowly becomming a little less of a noob).
Erica
Also have a look at themed & apps section....
there are some nice themes created by Chris95X8 & achep...
Is it important how did i send this?
Can some help me get my hands on a free version of steel blue theme? It looks great!!!
(Neo_na, isn't that a bit off topic? Oh well.)
If anyone's curious, here's an update on my color problem.
Installing Cyanbread sort of solved the issue: it changed the icons in the status bar from green to blue and the icon color (as well) from green to blue, which was what I wanted.
It didn't though change the color of the dots at the top of the screen (the ones that show where you are on the desktop) which was still green. I'm guessing, now that I know a bit more about themes and their different options, that it would have been possible to choose to hide those dots, but since I didn't know better I went looking for another solution (another reason for that is also that although Cyanbread is blue, then it's not the right kind of blue that matches the cover color of my phone - yes, I'm a bit of a perfectionist...)
I went looking for themes and found that both ADW and Go Launcher EX had a lot of good ones. I quickly realized, though, that none of those themes changed the status bar (which meant that I was back to my original problem).
So, here's my final solution (at least until I dare try my hand at making my own theme):
I found and installed a CM7 theme whose status bar I liked.
Then found a (in this case AWD) theme whose icons I liked.
Then changed the background image.
= a phone without any green!
(In the end I veered away from blue and I've ended up with a nice light glassy white combination that works really well with my prefered wallpaper. I've still chosen to hide the status bar though, since it's not a complete match and the screen looks better without it. And I've went into the CM7 settings to customize the lockscreen to fit as well as posible - I tried finding Go Locker themes, but none of them were perfect. The only odd bits of stray color is now an orange line that shows when you hit the top and end of the app drawer and I've had to chose to hide the background of the dock icons, since it looked botched on my phone for some reason - both are things I can easily live with.)

Nope, I don't think so. Coz its under themes category with a thread named 'default themes for theme chooser' so I just posted my question in a similar thread, which is, I am looking for a theme called steel blue.
And also since Chris is a Guy famous for theming I was hoping for an answer from him.
@chris - And btw, your xperia s theme looks great mate!!
This might just be pouring fuel on the fire, but...
Neo_na: The reason why I think your post is off topic is because it has nothing to do with the original post (it might fit in with the title, but only if you haven't read the rest of the post).
I think you need to ask your question in another thread, possibly make a new thread for it, if you want it answered (especially since I've already labelled this thread as answered).
Though, just a warning, I think your request might clash with the forum rules (about not promoting or discussion "warez"). Just a heads up.
