Hey peeps,
I'm finally trying to get into themeing my 3D on my own and would like to know where I can find the names of each individual file that I can edit and what it changes within the ROM. For example the text input areas what are the names of those files within the framework-res.apk? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated and if this has already been covered can you point me to the right place because searches aren't bringing up anything. Also, Mods if this is in the wrong place, move it for me. thanx
You need to know that you can't edit all files or think that all is in png's since some of them are values and not graphics. FE if you want to mod the dialer you need to edit the xml files.

Thanx ssojyeti2!!
but I still don't see anyone explaining what the specfic file names are for the images within the system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ or other similar places you can edit/switch out pngs. I've extracted the images but you can't always tell which image affects what within a ROM.
Nobody makes lists of all the images because there are thousands of them and they constantly change with software versions. Most are always in drawable-hdpi

Unfortunately man it is exactly as notsointeresting said. Basically its looking through all the images and finding what you think may change what, then just edit it and test it. The only tutorials you'll find are how to edit the actual .9 pngs and maybe some text edits. Here's one that I had posted in the Interactive Phone Modification thread, but it is just color text edits that can be made in framework-res for sense 3.6.

If you give me £1,000,000 I'll name them. Seriously tho experiment and after you have done a few themes you will start to know what does what. I quite often ask mayfield for the 0x0000000 numbers of m10 files because he has modded the fusion so may times he has learnt mot of them from by heart. Good luck

Knight has list of a handful probably has more of em named now. But you learn pretty quick what is what after you do it a few times. . As for other pngs edit as many as you want in the system ui frame work res and so on. Also look in the sticky section a lot of info you should read up on.

Set your explorer window to grid the images spread out then look at your phone and then look for the image you want to change in your explorer window.
Make a few changes and send the file to your phone reboot and see if it worked.
It's long hard tedious work but rewarding in the end when you finish and people download.

Great thread! The only thing I would like to see is some kind of control for the capacitive button brightness. I prefer the Brightness widget with 3 settings. So if HTC doesn't come through with a fix maybe someone here could.
Actually... I'm not really doing a theme... More of a sense 3.0 skin. I have never done a theme and figured starting with a sense skin would be easier. If anyone has any tips/advice for a beginner at sense skins, please feel free to share.

Here is what I've found so far that "might" help as a guide...
zone23 said:
1.) Install APKTOOL there are plenty of sites on how to do this so I’m not going to get into it.
2.) Decompile the base APK “apktool d Base.Theme.v1.apk”
3.) Open AndroidManifest.xml with NOTEPAD ++ do not, DO NOT use windows note pad for this
4.) At the end of Line #2 change EVOZoneBlue to whatever you want to call your skin save that and close it
5.) Got to /assets/ rename EVOZoneBlue to whatever you change it to in #4 only the last part. You will notice that my file name is only EVOZoneBlue its not com.htc.skin.EVOZoneBlue
6.) Now go to /res/values open “strings.xml” with NOTEPAD++ edit Line #4 to the name of your Skin save and close.
7.) Adjust/replace PNG files as you wish in /res/drawable-hdpi & drawable-land-hdpi
8.) Now recompile what you have “apktool b base.theme.v1” it should compile
9.) Open m10 Editor open your APK /apktool/base.theme.v1/dist/
10.) Edit m10s files I generally open the entire folder in explorer view. Once an icon appears on the right, right click it and open in explorer view. It’s a lot easier than picking the files one at a time. Make sure you’ve got everything because you won’t want to open this back up unless it’s absolutely necessary.
11.) Save m10
12.) To sign APKs I generally used APK Manager
13.) Copy your APK to / place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize
14.) Run Script type 16
15.) Place your APK in /place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize
16.) Run Script type 15
17.) Copy APK to device and install

I am not a good themer, but I am learning. The key to the 3.0 skins from what I can tell is decompiling the m10 files which I do not think apktool does. Look at this thread here. I have changed the lockscreen ring and some of the colors on the rosie using this so far, but I got overcome by events this week. Look at it and let me know I will be working a little this weekend and more during the week on putting together what I find. I am horrible at photoshop and other tools, but I guess I have to learn sometime.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=107862
Edit: I guess APK tool does do m10, but try this one to they both work. I use apk tool for my OG Evo for messing with apps and works great.
I have only seen a couple of tutorials around on how to deal with 9.png images and they were not very informative and left me just as confused as before. I have put together a Powerpoint presentation that aims to make it a little more clear. While this presentation is not comprehensive it does give the basics of how to fix and deal with 9.pngs.
Just download the file and remove the .zip extension.

Very nice. Thanks for this.
Thanks I have been doing alot of work arounds for these. I have also found a way to edit them colorwise in photoshop without having to redraw them. This comes in pretty handy when making alot of color variations of the same themes/roms. It is really quite easy all you do is open them in photoshop then hit image>hue and saturation then play with the master color bar do not touch lightness or go below 0 on saturation. If you mess with negative saturation or lightness it will lighten the draw9 guides and they will no longer work. If anyone is interested in trying it do so at your own risk, I have not had any problems doing it this way.
Now I just need to figure out how to properly use jarsigner and im set lol....
Now this is a useful post, thank you
Thanks

you use the ninepatch jar that comes in the sdk. the lines are the guides by which the image is stretched.
on another note. ultimatex is a nice idea, however i would reccomend not using it. the problem comes when you decompile an apk that has .9 images that were compiled with ultimatex. the image and the patch seperate into two seperate files and prevents recompile. its just as easy to decompile the entire apk, edit your .9's then recompile the apk.
Just to add to an earlier post when using Photoshop or fireworks or gimp or any editing till you like you simply select the image with the box tool like your cropping the image being sure to select Only inside the black 1 pixel area. Doing this you can change the color brightness saturation or even add to the image. As long as your changes don't go into the black area you can pretty much do anything.

thats an excelent point. if for some reason the guide lines do get messed up, just delete that part and redraw the lines in nine patch. people fear .9 images and they shouldnt, they only take a little extra effort.
Hey guys,
I'm building a theme and i'm running in to some trouble. I'm hoping someone might want to team up with me on this who has a little more experience. Currently, i have themed all the images in drawable-hdpi, and it took me about two days of work to do. I replaced the originals within 7zip with my new ones and then ran the rom through my kitchen to resign it...but now i'm getting errors about the framework when i try to do anything.
So anyway, i'd like to be able to just make this in to a flashable .zip theme that can be used on all the roms. If anyone can help me out, i'd appreciate it. Send me a PM and i will email you a zip of all the files i have themed so far, and we can collaborate from there. This theme is Orange...It looks real nice and i've put a lot of work in to it so far. Painstakingly long hours. Thanks in advance.

If your using 7zip to replace the images than there is no need to resign it.

Open up the lidroid apk with 7zip or similar program pull out the drawable-hdpi folder.Leave the Lidroid.apk open on your desktop. Color the images to your liking. Then drag the folder back to the open lidroid.apk on your desktop.Close apk.Push to phone. PROFIT!

You could pull it apart, decompile the apks, change the color of the images, and recompile, and you'll have to for each new color you want. It's a decent bit of work but probably the only way you're going to get it unless you talk to the person who makes it and convince them to make another color for you.

Understood. I was hoping someone could also point out the exact file/apk that I would need to mod and hopefully it would be as easy as doing a replace all for the color code I want to replace... which I see bigfau provided (lidroid apk)
What about the icons in the notification area? Battery, signal strength, and etc?

Your right, no worries.
No, I didn't by chance happen to see bigfau's post before I got mine in, as he beat me to the punch and slipped in while I was typing mine.
Besides, even though he replied just before me, is there a problem with me providing similar information? If anything, two people telling the OP essentially the same thing will further reassure the OP and give him more confidence to try his own hand at theming.
And what does pointing me to his ROM thread have to do with my post? I'm well aware of the development going on for our phones.

So I read here that if you are using a mod to change stuff, you can't further update those same mods from the ROM (which might help explain why I have been unsuccessful). So I went into the "15 Toggle.zip" I am using and tried to swap out some PNGs from the "drawable-hdpi" and got a "Not Implemented" error from 7zip... what's up with that?
Not sure if it matters but the PNG's I am trying to swap are not those 9.PNGs... I can't even open those to see what they look like. Something about unsupported compression method...
I think its because you need to decompile the apks, swap out your images, then recompile. It's what you have to do for standard theming, so it should be the same for what you want to do.

hmmm, read somewhere else you only needed to decompile if you were doing stuff to data, like changing values or code in XML files. There are folders within the apk that I can copy to without problem (although expected changes have yet to take effect). Guess it wouldn't hurt to de/recompile and see what happens.
Something else I noticed is that for the "15 Toggle.zips" that don't change the status bar icons, I can swap the status bar images np. But when I run the .zip in CWM, none of my changes take effect. But if I try to change the status bar icons of a "15 Toggles.zip" that I know changes the status bar icons (like bigfau's green 15 toggle mod), I get the "Not Implemented' error.
While I know swapping using 7zip works for some stuff, you're going to run into trouble with .9's and like you've said, xmls, but if you take the little bit of extra time to just decompile and recompile all of the changes will work. In my opinion, its worth the two extra minutes just to not have to deal with the hassle of guessing if something will work or not.

Thanks For The Instructions
I just want to say thank you to all those who have provided information in this thread. With the guidance given I was able to change the color of the toggles from the available purple/green/cyan to what I wanted a teal green and a white version. I only changed the toggle colors nothing else in the notification icons but I feel awesome about it being my first try at anything like this. Both the teal and white look great! I just extracted the images and recolored with gimp then repacked the zip. So thanks! :good:

P.S. If anyone wants the teal or white version PM me and I can send you them!
Edit Battery Color
BlackZenith and I figured out how to change the color of the battery and other icons in the notification bar, you must edit the drawable-xhdpi (note the x :laugh for the images to change from the SystemUI.apk file. Just letting you all know in case you are having trouble with that aspect. I was editing the drawable-hdpi folder at first and when flashed nothing changed.

Sorry ive been busy the last few days and tonight I moved my work over to my Linux box and had to reinstall the SDK, adb and apktool all over again. I was getting boot loops when trying to do it without the proper tools plus I need em to make flash able zips.

While you are waiting for the tutorial you will need to root your phone and install Root Explorer or another file manager so you can place the files and change permissions of files.

can i have the detailed way of how to change the image for the lock and not the unlock target? i did go to the specified location but the default image file in the .png format extracts itself and i do not know how to replace it.

I'm trying to change the unlock icon to something a little more jellybean looking. It just seems funny having those nice icons next to a plain white symbol. I'm having trouble recompiling the framework-res.apk. I'll try again tomorrow after work to get a flashable zip posted
For anyone who wants to attempt this them self the icon PNG file is located at
System>framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi>unlock_default.png
Here's the rough icon I made as well at 244x244 pixels, the same as the original. Not great but its a start

I also want to change it on my phone, any luck getting it done?
Use vrthemer to flash these mods. The scripts automatically update the apk with your images. Use one of the lockmods I made in the 4.2.2 lock mod thread to see how the folder structure is set. Its easy as pie
