Anyway to change white background to black? - HTC Amaze 4G

Anyone know how change the white background to black in HTC's stock messaging app? Also, is there a way to do it in the web browser as well without inverting the colors?
Thanks,
Matt

not that i know of Matt , unless you use none stock messaging apps form the market like Handcent SMS or GO SMS PRO those are my fav to use but now i use TouchPal Contacts i like the feel n look of it
hope i helped in a small way if so hit thanks

I think you can decompile the messaging.apk and edit that way, but you would need knowledge of how to theme (which I have none of)

Thanks, yeah I tried handcent but not really feelin' it. Lovin' stock except for that bright ass background at night. lol
I wish I knew how to theme!

You can unzip the apk file, mod it and rezip.
I might do it later if I get some time to.

Ask rachelm920. I known her work since we both owned MotoCliqs. She might have an idea of how it can be done.

I will also look at it... It's probably just hex color codes in the apks xml files

Someone upload a stock de-odexed mms.apk file for me please, so I can look into this, I'm still on the stock odexed file, if you're on stock odex then I'll go ahead with my file, or just do a zip with mine.

{MOD} ( Theme) Black Menus V2

Here we have a black menu mod. Its sense 3.0 with gingerbread 2.3.4, with the look of original gingerbread that brought the black menu.
In theory it should work for any gingerbread 2.3.4 sense 3.0 Evo 3D rom. This has only been tested with Steel rom's and shogun roms.
If it works for you please let me kno.
It is a black menu with grey text. There are some new menus that are now grey. Some menu's are still white and shows light grey text. That'll be fixed soon.
Wipe cache and davalik then flash the zip in recovery. Do a nandroid just in case i am not responsible if anything happens to your device. Works for me this is your warning tho.
if it works for you please comment which rom you used it with.
What's New:
More Menu's updated
Future Updates:
Make all apps compatible with mod .. some apps still have white background

Yeah, the black menu is a png, but the white text is a smali file (i dont even know which one). You'd have to decompile framework or system ui (whichever one the PNG for menu was in, I think SystemUI), then look through the smalis and edit one of them using Android-Utility , APK manager, and/or APKTool

[Q] Which ICS CM7 Theme Is This?

I've been going crazy trying to find a thread or a link to the market (I mean Play Store...screw it, Im still calling it market) but I cannot find this theme anywhere. I was just searching for themes around the web a little while ago to see if there were some good ICS themes that werent in the market. I found this one that is really awesome, beautifully done and I even think it added the ICS transition effects. I cant remember where I downloaded it from. It could even be a theme thats in the market. I want to figure this out because if this is a theme still getting worked on, I want to know about updates. And if it is a paid app in the Market, I want to pay for it. So if anyone has any clue about what theme this is, I will be very grateful. Maybe some of you are using the same theme.
I dont have much to go on, but the theme is a transparent theme. Almost all of the backgrounds in stock apps and third party apps are semi transparent and shows the home screen wallpaper. The default battery icon is a circular icon. And I'm attaching a screenshot of what it shows in theme chooser.
Again, if anyone knows what theme this is, maybe you can link me to where I can find it. Thanks everyone.
That pic isn't the greatest...but I think that might be the ICS launcher. Its really isn't the greatest launcher choice but its the closest I've seen to the full ics layout. I know you were looking for a theme, but that may be better.

Thanks. But I'm talking about a CM7 THEME that you install through the Theme Chooser. Not a launcher. The screenshot is just to show what the theme chooser shows when applying it. I know its not much but if anyone needs more screenshots to determine the theme, let me know and what to take a screenshot of.

Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Heres a few more. The dialer, Settings menu, and a popup notification. The background in those screenshots is just my home screen wallpaper. its not part of the theme.
When you pull apart a cm7 theme apk and repackage it, it will show up blank in theme chooser. Sooo.... it could be anybodies. Check and see in Play to see if it matches other ics themes. It might be sonnys. (Yeah, I totally said Play instead of Market.)
Hmm havent found one that allows that level of transparency.
Ill keep looking.
I'm starting to think now it might be a theme someone took and made changes too like was said. I looked in /data/app/ and saw the apk labeled as "com.uotkitchen.theme.icsandwichtransp026build318-1.apk". This theme should be available somewhere. Too bad I cant find where I downloaded it from. Its a very nicely done theme. I cant stress that enough. And it DOES add ICS transistions.

Anyone Know How to Change the Color of the Battery and Notification Toggles?

Sorry for the noob question. This morning, I tried to fool around with system/app/systemui.apk using ninjamorph, but I kept messing stuff up and having to restore from my TWRP backup. Any ideas?
change the drawables in the systemui.apk i do it outside with 7zip...im no themer by any means but ive fooled around with a few things
Thanks for the advice. It led me to search for more info on 7zip and I found this post:

As for editing xml values you can simply copy the xml file out and edit it using your favourite editor and then copy them back in.
Hope I was able to help some OS X users.
/edit By the way, this method (WinRar or muCommander) also works for editing update.zip. This means you can customise the rom (add/remove system apks, change the boot animation etc) before you flash it.
The one thing I'm having trouble with is the green bars on the bottom of the notification toggles. I can't find where they're at.

Is there any disclaimer to doing this, like if I am running Nottach-Xposed or needing odex or de-oxed systems. Sorry, I don't fully understand all this but I don't want to have to go back to stock because I didn't ask. I love those icons though and would love to get this done.

You can run it with his mod and you should be deodexed if you're not just rename the systemui.odex Files to systemUi.odex.bak and push one of mine that you like
Oh ya you might want to back up your systemUI.apk "just in case" but you shouldn't have any problems bc they are the same besides mine is themed.

Touch Wiz Themeing Questions

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.

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 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.

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.
