S4 TW Theming Q&A - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I think its time that we have a place for specific TW theming questions on the S4. Post your questions, or answer if you can, and we will build a resource for everyone to use.
I'll ask the first questions. Has anyone found where the image is for the volume and brightness scrubber track?

Aw yeah here we go. I'm going to be utilizing this thread a lot. Never themed touchwiz before haha.

When we change images, do we change the ones under drawable-xhdpi or xxhdpi?

I noticed the hdpi thing as well. Also look for images in the drawable folder itself. This usually only contains xml's, but Samsung's apks are a mess when it comes to images.

You got that right about the images lol. Also having so many random things tied into framework and twframework makes finding things a pain. It's taken me days to black out mms, contacts, framework, twframework, and the calculator haha.

I would try if I wasn't stuck looking for what ever is used for the hover preview lol. http://db.tt/ZdKeG7yB
The problem is I don't believe its a standard PNG. The arrow you see actually follows you as your finger moves from side to side, so I have no idea where they put the stupid thing lol

I got one, why is it that when I edit the color on the messaging bubbles, it makes the bubble itself look stretched?

It sounds like you messed with a .9 border

All I did was change the hue. How can I go about it without messing it up?

Changing the hue (if you didn't select only a portion of the image) will change the borders as well. If they aren't solid black, then the image will be jacked up. You can also re-trace over those borders with a pencil tool set to 100% black "ff000000" and that should work too.

Are you decompiling the apk, or just pulling the image out of the apk using 7.zip?

OK, thats good.
Are you then recompiling the APK so your .9 image is batched? If not, that's what your missing.

So that's what I'm missing, would you mind explaining how to batch the. 9?

Well the process of recompiling the apk will do it for you. You can then pull that image of of the compiled apk, in the dist folder, and put it into your original to flash in recovery, or push using adb.
There is also a tool somewhere out there that will process the .9 without using apktool, I don't remember what its called tho.

Yup but so far for the Rezound it is battery mods only.
Battery mods are the biggest part, is over 200 images to do it 1 by 1 is killer, I've done it and it sucks.the rest of the theme building is pretty easy and less tedious. I nominally use uot for the battery then build from there. glad to see they got it going. I've been itching to builds some themes for this phone, once I get the time I plan on getting a few out there

That's right, you only need to decompile/recompile if you're updating XML or changing icon sizes(since you have to move alignment).
So, does UOT work now? Can I stop theme'ing again lol?

Has anyone tried using the kitchen via your phones browser rather than PC? I've tried using a bunch of browsers, dolphin seems to be the only one to do anything when clicking "select file"to upload. It opens flash, says in uploads, and no files found. By chance does this use a specific directory to upload from? If so, where?

Does anyone know where the png files are for the notification bar?
In gb It used to be in systemUI.apk but i cant seem to see any images that i changed last time in ics.

ICS has changed how it is handled. Now it is a color code and not an image. You can make it an image by redirecting the XML files to point to an image instead as I have done.

Did you use apktool to decompile?

yes but you will need 2 version of apktool to do it. One to decompile and another to compile ICS. Then in the layout folder of the system ui you will need to change the xmls for the status bar to android:drawable/status_bar which is in the framework-res apk. You will also need to change the XML in the system UI folder. There is no guide. I found it by trial and error to be honest. A lot of ICS uses color hex codes instead of images now but thankfully they left the unused images in the framework-res folder

Check the layout folder in system UI for the status bar expanded. It will tell you what the background it. It might be a color hex code

that is different. let me see what i can do, if anything
ok so the reason why it looks small, is because its meant for hdpi devices and we have xhdpi. so all the png's will need to be converted. but let me see if i can decompile it without any errors to make sure there are no xmls that needs to be edited too.
Edit:
Looks like we need 4 edits in an xml. and the png's need to be resized from 80 x 80 to 120 x 120
i am no good with photoshop so we need to find someone willing to do that. it should all work after that.

Ok so you're right, it pulls resources from the .m10 and the pngs are just placements for the app. I've never used the .m10 editor but I have it all set up on my laptop. Going to try and see what I can do with it.

Not sure if it was right or not, can't see the styles.xml without the resources.arsc. Since you are editing the styles.xml, you do need to delete resources.arsc from the keep folder. It should rebuild it for you in the final apk.

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:

muCommander! Just rename the .apk to .zip and browse it using muCommander just like you would using WinRar! Just tested it, I was able to add and remove files without resigning. The modified apk installed on my phone without a problem!
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.

I'm using CleanROM. I really hate the green Touchwiz battery and toggles, so I used this ICS blue theme from my GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775235

Here's a darker blue one that I'm using on clean ROM. http://db.tt/mGPjN9Va
Replace systemUI with this one.

In a root file explorer (I use esfile) move the systemui.apk to system>app ... It will ask you to replace the existing file ..chose yes. Then reboot. (It will start force closing ...don't panic...work through the warnings and reboot).
