So i am currently theming my phone into a Light version of Holo. However I have no idea what to edit in the framework-res.apk considering that there are pre-made holo dark and light xml's and im afraid i would mess up with other apps using them. My question is what xml would i need to modify to set the system to use the Light theme? I have successfully set the Settings application to Holo Light by editing its manifest file. How can i apply light theme to popup menus, power options, volume, dialog boxes and etc? Thank you Im currently running ICS. :laugh:

Hey I'm running CM10.1 on my HTC One x. I was wondering how to remove the black shade ontop of the lockscreen background and just have your background clear and not darkened. I've been looking around framework-res and trying to edit stuff but had no luck, I have no experience in coding, just flashing custom roms and decompiling apks.
In CM7 there is an option to set an image as background for the lockscreen, check in the CM Settings, maybe you can do it.
Putting a custom image for your lockscreen doesn't remove the translucent black shade unfortunately.
Excuse me for reposting but I'm still wondering if anyone can help me with this, it seems like a pretty simple mod.
I have been running a 4.3.1 Paranoid Android build. I don't like the dark themes of the system apps. I prefer the stock LG User Interface and colors. I want to know how I can change from the default white text on black background to black text on white background. A color scheme similar to the stock LG UI is preferred. I also couldn't find a widget that matches the functionality of the stock ROM's notification settings. I really liked the brightness slider in the swipe notifications in the stock UI.

Not sure if you have tried this? Xblast Exposed Frameworks Works great on my phone Samsung S2. Worth a glance maybe...
Look in the play store for "cm 10" or "cm 10.2" themes. Then in settings, find the theme section and apply your new theme. What gets themed will vary between themes, and some will be free as well as some running any where from $.99-$2.00. There are a wide variety of choices, just find one that matches your liking.
Also try adding search terms like light holo or white to narrow down what you want. There is also a thread here on xda showcasing themes made by members here, it should be in "android development" -> "android themes"

There is a link to the thread, I hope you can find one to suit your liking.

I tried changing the dark holo background color to white, but I also had to change the default text color from white to black. This made the text unreadable in apps where the dark background did not change to white.
I am currently theming 'framework-res.apk', and I can't seem to change the text color in buttons (holo light) from black to white, though I have successfully changed them in action bars. I have tried several attempts like creating .xml files and linking them with 'Widget.Holo.Light.Button' from styles.xml (I am trying to change the text color in holo light theme), but no luck (holo light themed apps keep force closing). Can you guys help me with that? :angel: Thanks a lot! By the way, I am using Android 4.2.2.
Is there a way to change the color of the notification ui?
I open the "stock android" app today and it changed the color of my notification ui from Grey to blue without messing around with it.
Is there a way to change the color back to the original in the settings somewhere (I've been searching for some hours now, changed theme and all, uninstalled and reinstalled nova and changed nothing) without installing an app for the notification ui?
I have nova launcher installed FYI.
@EmbleerFrith
I think you mean the quick settings background. It changes according to the background you set on your launcher in theory. If you open MiFavor launcher without making it default, then change the background on it, THEN hit the home button to get to the stock Android launcher, it should fix itself. I did that before, and it seems to work
Honestly I'd love to change the whole quick settings UI altogether, but I have no idea how to mod systemUI
I have noticed that it only changes if I change the theme of the phone and only then
Yes There is
Yes there is a way. You have to decompile SystemUI_ZTE.apk and do some smali code color changes. I have mine set to one color all the time.

I think it changes according to the wallpaper color set in default launcher.

can you make a guide or something? Maybe theme the B09's (or B35's) systemUI and share it somewhere? This would be a nice addition to @raystef66's ROMs, as an add-on
Hi everyone.. I'm at a loss and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Let's start saying I'm a super noob with this so all I do is just by trial and error.
Anyway, I have a theme I made with some custom image from my phone. I really like it, but no matter what I try, the color behind the notifications (not the quick menu, that one is fine with the shade of blue I picked) always remains white and so does the main settings background. (the settings background in the dialer app instead, for instance, changes fine, with the same file...??)
I don't understand what or where this white is located cause I've pretty much tried to replace everything white that isn't font or button colors... Yet no luck. Maybe it's hidden somewhere I can't see it?
Basically in the latest theme manager, I go to Home screen, settings, and under background I put a .9.png file. But this image is never reflected in the theme when I apply it. I don't know if this is what affects the notification color either, but I have no other clue what could be since it's the only 2 things that remain white in the theme!
I know it's possible to definitely change notification BG color in emui 10 themes because I have downloaded some who have green or red/blue notifications and those changed fine.... So I copied them from phone to pc and selected import in the theme studio cause I wanted to check where the difference was... But when I import them they revert to default. Maybe they're protected (rightfully so!) or something?
If anyone who makes themes could kindly help or tell me where the exact setting for the notification colors is, it would be a great help, or if anyone knows why that image doesn't get applied to the theme!
Thanks!
