Tiled screen: Icons - Themer General Discussion

Hi,
I've got the problem, that I accidently deleted an icon on the 3rd screen (My Apps) and
cannot recover it. Tried "dump icons" and this works but you have to be aware not to deleted
the icon in the download folder.
Best way would be to recover the icons within the themer app.
Cheers,
derdude

Unfortunately you'll have to re-apply the theme. We are working on icon pack support that will make the process much easier. We apologize the inconvenience.

I've done this several times. I'm glad a fix is coming.

I'm looking forward to the update.
But neverthless for a beta this software is great. Thanks you, guys :good:

Yes, I did. And it worked.
But it would be better go get these icons within the themer application (eg with a menu option).

[APP] Transparent Settings app LIST ADDED FOR INTERESTED PORTERS :D

Heey there
I was searching a while for a transparent settings app (I like transparent apps so )
Since no theme porter or dev was answering the Q for transparent settings app
I tried to customize the settings app myself i tried different things but unsuccessful (maybe because of my limited skills )
After some more trying it almost works
So thought I'll post it here so everyone can enjoy a transparent settings app
Since I'm not a dev or theme porter and I was just trying something out
There are some bugs in it but I don't have the required skills to fix them all
so if there is any dev or theme porter that could give me some tips PM PLEAS I really want this done
Extra options that work
Build in font changer in settings app itself so no need for Third party app
G-sensor calibration option
This need to be "fixed"
Wireless and network menu
Bluetooth switch on the check-box in the settings menu doesn't work (when you enable bleutooth in the statusbar the settings can be changed in the bleutooth menu)
Call settings menu
The call settings menu should be expanded (now there is only a voice-mail setting option so nothing like hide numer callsettings etc.)
Sound settings menu
There is an option for video-call ringtone (need to be removed but doesn't give FC so not urgent )
Display settings menu
Brightness setting doesn't work (if you use the Power control widget you can change the brightness)
There are options for
- White colour density
- Black colour density
- Saturation
- TV out
All FC, whether they should be removed or fixed, if someone can make these option working that would be super
The horizontal calibration must be edit because the roll indicator is not one the right scale
Location and security menu
The option for aiding sensors is missing
Application menu
in the menu "manage applications the size for each app is on the big side not verry handy if you have a lot of apps but its just for the looks so not verry urgent
SD-card and memory menu
There is an option for formatting internal memory haven't tried it yet but if someone has enough courage to try this option we will know if it works
For the rest everything is working perfect
Thx man
Love it !

No need to re-flash your rom

Reflash a Rom is much more easier than prepare a cup noodles. Just plug to PC and then fire up odin, wait for 2mins than Titanium Backup than that's all
Now doing a full Backup
But anyway thank you for your setting.apk

That's true
but when i see its not working but I'm on my way home and don't have a pc I just replace the old one
so no reboot, flash or backup needed
Thanks for trying I hope some day a theme porter will give me some tips or make a better one
I'll reupload my previous one so some people can try it out and maybe fix the bugs
After trying my first attempt again i discovered that the build in font changer in the settings app works so you can apply new fonts in the settings app itself so no need to install any third party apps
Also the option for G-sensor calibration works!!!
Well. The main difference you will find in styles.xml when you decompile this Settings.apk and the one from our phone. There are some lines that have to be added to it. And then you will have to define them in Public.xml also. And then again you will have to declare them in the classes.dex file. i.e. in the smali files.
Its tedious. Smali/baksmali.

Thank you so much
Since I actually still have very little experience with XML. I am teaching myself more, so it will take a while before I can continue to improve this
many thanks for your advice

^ Hi,
what's the exact problem/ui issue your are having? (like text color or list item selection color etc.)
I haven't tried modding an app before but I am a full-fledged Android developer.
So I will try to help you if possible.

If you just want to add a few frequently used apps, you can try Wizz Bar from the Market. It doesn't do all your looking for, but I find it quite useful for adding my preferred apps there.

Replacing Icons ?

Hello all,
I am running Check Rom V6 right now. I have 5 icons, dialer, contacts, messaging, home, and apps. I was wondering if someone could guide me on how to use these icons. They are all in a .png format. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway
Thank You Sir!!!!
I have uploaded the contacts messaing apps and all icons i dont need the dialer as it is stock look in the newest 2.3.6 builds

CWM -> Install update from sdcard ( don't worry about "enter the Vertumus world" text, I just edited Vert's zip a bit )
tested on my phone and works like a charm
Now I just need to wait till my CheckROM v6 finishes downloading so I can make a restore zip for you.
I'm not sure what the default icons are in new version and I need it anyway
Check this post later on. Post a screenshot when you flash it
Sir dont worry about the the restore packages i have a backup. I will post a screen shot thank you soo much though

Not strictly true - although it is an app drawer replacement.
Can change icons and names with this, my favourite ever app ever of all time ever.
As I've posted before, if there's an easier way to edit icons/text and retain functionality, I have yet to find it.
Especially because I couldn't modify an apk if my life was at stake...

Actually, the easiest way is using vrtheme, no need to modify apks or use anything else than the Touchwiz launcher itself

You have the list view in touchwiz too

Not joking, sorry. Haven't used nor installed TW launcher for about 7 months.
Live and learn - glad to be corrected, and not worried about my ignorance being on public display. Can hardly backtrack now can I?
Can you edit icons and app names there too?

Bump. I would like to hide the alarm icon. I have alarms set all the time, it just takes up space without providing any information.
I have root.

That would be awesome, I know you can customize status bar on CM but that would be great on stock. In case there is a solution by now, please let us know!
use nova launcher that can remove status bar,u can still draw curtain down,i think apex launcher also has this feature..

Gave it one star. Doesn't do what you said, only adds notifications
Did you ever find a solution? This is especially irritating considering that I installed Battery Widget Reborn and it has a more readable icon that sits next to the default one.
I have a Verizon S3, but here is what I found, just have a question...
I did a search looking to delete my battery icon from my status bar now since I have the percentage up there. I have already found the stat_sys_battery.xml file but I had a couple quick questions. (got my info from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010487 )
I downloaded 7Zipper from the market, open the SystemUI.apk with it ("Open with Zip Viewer), go to res/drawable and I navigate to stat_sys_battery.xml, the only option I get is to extract it, not delete it. Does this need to be done via a computer to actually delete it or will "extracting it" just remove it from the .apk?
Also, I have 2 res folders: 1 dated 09 Nov 12 & one dated 01 Jan 80
With that said, I also have 2 drawable folders, both with the same dates as the res folders.
It appears they are the same, but look like they have the same things in them. I guess in the end my question is, Is this the proper way to delete this on the phone or should I plug it in and delete from the computer?
Install JKay framework (link found in my signature), and then buy the deluxe app from the play store to customize it. you can hide or center clock, alarm, battery and play with it the way you want. It also contains lots of other features

[Q] Cant change app launcher icon in Nova

So each time I try to edit the app launcher icon with nova, it tries to open something, then closes. Anyone else having this issue?
SOLVED: For people that dont want to read thread.
Found a way to change it...change icons to stock...edit launcher icon, then select custom icon pack and profit...this is by no means a fix, just a band-aid until the dev resolves this issue
Yes, the same thing happens to me.

Yeah that also worked for me when I initially loaded my icon pack. But I didn't like the color of the app tray icon, then I discovered the problem when I tried to change it to one of the other colors included with my icon pack.
