Below I have a screenshot of the home page of my NookColor. I'm running CM9 with the Trebuchet launcher.
I like the layout with the apps icon in the top right, search icon top left, statusbar at the bottom with ICS soft buttons and no dock.
Somehow both Trebuchet and Nova launchers know if they are being installed on a tablet vs a phone. I would like to spoof the launcher to give me the Tablet UI on my phone and see if I like it.
Any clues of where the launchers determine which Ui to use? Build prop maybe?
There are tablet preferences in the frameworks apk.
In a XML file named Bools
res/values/bools.xml
I'm actually trying to get the soft buttons enabled on my phone without the other tablet options enabled but for some reason when I enable the soft buttons it also enables the tablet layout lol.
Tablet layout on the phone does look a bit different than the layout on the nook though.

Looking through the Nook CM9 rom there is no Frameworks.apk. there is a frameworks-res.apk but no /res/values in it. IDK......
^ You have to decompile framework-res.apk in order to see the values folder.
Btw search button shows up in landscape mode only.

Thanks again.
The guide was in chinese or something so I couldn't figure what he did so I downloaded the CM9 version. It's a services.jar and build.prop. Pushed the services.jar alone but it didn't change, changed the lcd density to 160, no change. So I figured I'd try his NS build.prop unmodified and went into a bootloop. I guess I need to figure out what changes I need to make in my current build.prop.
Oh well..I'll probably hate it once it's on my phone anyway..lol
Got it to work by pushing the service.jar only and changing lcd density to 120 in vibrant build prop. everything is small, pics below is with font set to huge. Phone dialer fc's. you can make a call but not hangup or answer one (kinda makes phone useless lol). Here's some pics. Wish I could have it with a larger density.
Agree'd. Looks good, but higher lcd density would be nice. If you make any more headway with that and or the phone working properly, please post it.

I'm on AOKP today and tried out the mod. No go. it sets the density to 192(mod being for GN). tried 160, no go. Maybe I need to go down to 120 for the Vibrant.

This is a Metamorph for a transparent lockscreen that was made by request for a friend. This is intended for a deodexed stock mytouch4G ROM (2.2/2.2.1). This will modify com.htc.resources.apk. Most likely this will crash your system when applied. If not, reboot to see changes. Ive been seeing an error when using metamorph to extract, it does not seem to find the theme file. All files extract and you will be able to apply by selecting "Pick existing theme".
*NOTE* This works when applied using the safari theme (thanks for the feedback). I'll look into modifying other themes... eventually. Requests will be considered.

So after trying this, the text on the lock screen doesn't line up correctly. All 3 lines of text, the date, the time & T-mobile all overlap. Is this supposed to be used with any of the lock screen themes or a specific one? Anything else need to be changed to get it to align correctly?

So this is just a transparent slider for the lockscreen?
I'm assuming theres no way to make a fully or semi-transparent wallpaper?
I know most icons are png's, which support transparency, but I'm not sure (and highly doubt) if a transparent png file would retain transparency after being set to be the wallpaper? If I had to guess I would think the file is converted in some way before it is actually applied...
I wonder if there is a way to bypass this and allow for transparencies in the wallpaper?
Though this works, it doesn't look so good since its transparent and the text overlays whatever is on the first screen. It would be nice if the lockscreen background could be honored by the stock froyo lock. Or at the very least, a solid color or black background.

Transparent images won't set correctly, from what I've read about other sense ROMs, you'd have to hexedit the file, changing the color to transparent... don't know if it would even work. There are lockscreen replacements, like lock bot, possibly some others. Wish there where better options... the ROM in general lacks the basics for most things I want to do... which is why I currently run the desire HD port by gr8gorilla. The ROM has been ported to a lot of phones, so there is quite a bit of mods and themes available.
I'm curious what features. Are you referring to stock? Does the desire port have working drivers for everything? I thought FFC (camera) was a problem as well as video playback. Iced is what I'm currently using and its rock solid and can overclock.

Download the rom, pull out framework-res apk from /system/framework. From there, follow the instructions from one of the links in my signature (image replacement).
I happen to already have the icons extracted. Post your framework-res apk and I'll implement it (or try it on your own).

Hey themers:
I'm just getting acquainted with making small modifications to the system and am currently working from a stock 4.0.4 LPL based ROM. I would like to implement a 50% translucent effect on the TW status bar.
I've decompiled SystemUI.apk many different ways - as a non-system app, an app w/ dependencies (both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk), I've recompiled without any issues at all and immediately de-compiled to make sure my changes "stick", and they do. I then throw them into a flashable zip, wipe cache/dalvik, flash the zip and fix permissions, no go.
I'm following a guide that was originally posted in the GS2 forum that instructs us to do the following:
1) SystemUI StatusBar.smali - locate the "...Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V" statement and change the const/v16 above it from "const/16 v16, 0x4" to "const/16 v16, -0x3".
2) Go to res > values > drawables.xml and edit "status_bar_background" hex to #7f000000 for 50% transparency.
This didn't work on its own, so on top of that I also tried implementing the same sort of change mentioned in #1 above on both the PhoneStatusBar and TabletStatusBar.smali files. Still no go. The system boots no problem, but just no change in the visual appearance of the status bar.
Does anyone have any ideas outside of this on what smali file or statement in the above files might control this feature? I'm still digging but didn't know if others had attempted this. Thanks to any and all who are willing to help. I don't need anyone to look at code for me, just a gentle shove in the right direction would be fantastic!
+1 for this.
I'd love to see this work.

Does tw use a standard grey block to extend the background for the status bar? It sounds like it would and if that is do you could try adding that grey colour to an alpha channel on the image.

You need to modify the "tw_" variants of the status bar definitions to see anything happen, TouchWiz UI does not use the regular assets/definitions.

No problem, I spent most of last night working out how to move the system bar from the bottom of the screen to the top using a decompiled SystemUI from the TouchWiz rom for the Galaxy Tab. You might find that even though you make the bar transparent that the area behind it is black anyway (it is for me at least using the official 4.0.4 rom) due to it assuming that the system bar is being rendered there. I'm yet to figure out how to manipulate the rest of the WindowManager environment to fix the issue.

This is a partial aosp theme for touch wiz,from the DOMINATION theme.This has only been tried on MINT JELLY V2.1, this will theme your dialer along with some settings,it will also put black backgrounds on some apps and the dialer along with some pop up menus. This will not change any icons in your status bar that have been changed with NOTTACHS XPOSED app,I have taken those files out,although for this theme to work 100 percent you will have to change a build prop value,and this is only for att ,have not tested on anything else,but in changing the build prop value, NOTTACHS app will recognize your phone as a unsupported device, but everything that worked before still works,if you decide to flash this and change the prop DO NOT go to either of NOTTACHS threads with complaints,even know everything should be ok,it is on my phone.The lock screen rings are from KR3G3R with his permissions,for these to work you need stock lock screen with swipe lock and light effect on.PLEASE if you use this go thank and donate to VERTUMUS and KR3G3R, for this is there work i just modified the theme so it didnt break nottachs app,the rings i just added did not mod them.SO in order for this to work the following build prop change needs to be done unless you are ok with having the number 1 on the dialer white and everthing else blue.I am also not 100 percent sure what else this change can cause to happen but i havent found any as of yet,if anyone knows how to fix this with out this prop edit feel free to help or elaborate on why not make the change.I have asked permission to use both of these mods if anyone does not want this to be posted please feel free to delete,as i am just trying to help the s4 community.This will also give you aosp sounds ,clicks ,button press ect....
install instructions: 1) MAKE A BACKUP
2) make sure you have a way to change build prop.(i use rom tool box pro)
3) download attached .zip file
4) change build prop line RO.PRODUCT.NAME from jflteuc to jflteatt (there is a RO.PRODUCT.DEVICE already named jflteatt
so dont get confused and think yours is already,
5) reboot for the build prop change to take effect
6) boot to recovery(has worked with twrp, i use OUDhs CMW touch
7) flash .zip then reboot this zip will auto wipe cache and dalvik won't do any harm
8) done, check dialer should be all black background with blue numbers,if the #1 is white your prop did not change.you can
change the prop back at anytime and reboot, i highly suggest doing that if nottachs updates his app.
I also suggest not using XTHEME ENGINE untill you install this, if you have xtheme on, that will take precedence over this theme,after you install this and see what it does then you can mess with xtheme but your gonna run into issues with nottachs app with the system ui in xtheme.

UPDATE: Ok here is another link to the full theme everything will be themed,theres one catch at least on the MINT JELLY V2.1 you wont be able to access the power menu with the power button,it will cause a reboot witch isnt that bad you can think of it as a quick reboot, it has to do with the resources.arsc file, and you will still have to change the prop to get the full theme,and it still wont effect the status bar icons.So you will have the blue lock rings, all dark backrounds and pop ups, and almost everything themed ,and some people may not have a problem with this on other roms.Just make sure you thank the developers and donate to them please.The new file will be tw_aosp_theme_bluerings , just remember on MINT JELLY long pressing the power button will reboot.you can lock and unlock your phone with the power button still.

yea took me a lot of restores to figure out what would work and wouldn't, theres alot more to the theme but it breaks a lot,specially the power button,when i would press it,it would auto reboot witch was ok i could have dealed with that but there were some other lil things that were glitchy so i just narrowed it down to what it is now so all of nottachs stuff still works cause that the best mod out.

I run Synergy rom, which is specifically for the Verizon S4.
I didn't do the build.prop edits since the post indicated that would only affect the color of the number 1.
So it's still the defaults for the verizon S4
ro.product.name jfltevzw
ro.product.device jfltevzw
I flashed the one that was up yesterday, not the newest one.
I didn't really look for black anywhere else besides the dialer.
The lock screen rings worked for sure as it was obvious right away after boot.
I already restored my nandroid backup so I'd have to flash it again to retest those other details.
I had tried the full domination theme a couple weeks ago and had the same white remaining in the dialer, so it's not something you changed causing the white to remain.

what build is that rom MEA or MDL this theme is made for MEA thats why it works with mint jelly, you wouldnt need to do build prop edits your number 1 is blue,your rom has the same props for both already.I dont know the verizon build prop i dont know if that actually right or wrong, us changing for att im pretty sure is wrong but it works, if you were on a MEA build im pretty sure it would work
I would like to start this thread to help each other out.
Themeing the SG4 has been a challenge to say the least.
If we work together I believe we will be able to achieve much more.
Basically post your base that you are on, what .apk you are needing help with, maybe a screen shot to show.
Saved.
I'd like to start with the ME7 base SecContacts.apk.
I have been able to theme the Dialer to black background, but have had no luck with changing the SecContacts.apk background.
If anyone can help, or has any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you, all!
Welcome to theming Q&A..
I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think it is in the framework. It's something like tw-background light/dark. I'll double check when I get home to confirm.

No, the real guys are Vertumus and Nitro, theya re insane with it and their AOSP themes, they gave me permission to use theirs as a reference so now I can make my own AOSP them based off their work to the way I like it. (If can ever nake it that way!!)

I mean I don't suck or anything, I first started out themeing, but then I did my first smali MOD and was hooked.
I was on 7 HTC phone before coming to the SG3/SG4 so I haven't ever themed Samsung besides SG3 which was cake, but it was also using Bean's work as a base 99% his. I can do it I just don't enjoy it as much, as I am not as good.
I'll help anyway as well.
Hope can get the contacts bro. I really want to get the AOSP theme rocking. Maaybee you want to team up with me on it? who knows? that would be so sick.
Either way glad this thread will hopefully get some good use for people.

I think this is right but I learn as I go.
Frameworks drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi /tw_background_holo_light.png
I'm gonna theme to darken dialer so if I can confirm I'll report.
Edit: that did change contacts/recents backround but not dialer.

Dialer background is in a different spot for what ever reason. Its in sec contacts apk under one of the layout files with "dialpad_fragment" in the name.

if you change the contacts_list_content.xml in SecContacts and add android:background(line 12) that will change that. The problem with changing the image in frameworks file, is if any other apps calls a system resource it will make it darkbackground with most likely black text... This screwing that up.
So then you gotta redo that app. so I prefer to make the app inverted all by iteself and not reply up backgrounds and such from framework if I can help it....
Just a different way of doing it.....

Sorry. long weekend. Wrong person you are correct..
FWIW both methods did the exact same changes..
im trying to change the background of secsettings.apk from black/white text to white/black text
i know the changes need to be made in secsettings.apk. Nothing in there references a framework file.
i changed devicedefault to devicedefault.light in /res/vaules/styles.xml with no luck
any advice?

So just use the compare plugin in notepad++. It will highlight where text is moved.
