Regards.
Mahesh

Hi,
i don't like the standard dialer theme. Can someone make new ones ? Or port some over for the defy ? Or tell me how to do that ?
thanks
i don´t know how to make or port it.
But i found dialer2 in the market.
Test it. it looks nice
thanks for dialer2, looks nice enough for now. But if you make a call you still see the original dialer

I can hook u up, what are you looking for exactly?
a dial pad that looks black, and not so glossy. like the minimal matte one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726912
tried to metamorph contacts.apk for dialer, but the defy has no contacts.apk
I have the Gingerstock theme from JB3 installed. Something in yellow would be cool so that matches the theme.
Is your phone rooted? If so, can you pull a copy of your dialer for me so I can edit?
Use root explorer, go to /system/app. Grab blurdialer.apk, long hold and copy. move copy yo sd card and attach here

sounds great, here it is. It's from my system. I'm using the orange rom
3.4.2_131-003_Deblur_Sign if that is helpful

Hey sorry, got busy at work... I'll grab it now and work on it, stay tuned for post. I'll try to get it as best as possible, but I ddi find while themeing mine, you cannot change the actual numbers only the back grounds. Stupid blur!
I'm going in blind, so not sure exactly how this looks or what managed to change. So do as I say and check it out, whatever you want fixed I'll redo it... Try it out though.
-Grab the apk from the attachment
-Put BlurDialer.apk on your SD card
-Using Root Explorer, Move this apk to /system
-Once in /System, long hold the apk, and hit permissions. Check boxes should look like this:
Read Write Execute
X X X
X
X
So essentially an upside down L.
- Once permissions have been changed, long hold the apk and paste in /System/app , hit yes to overwrite.
- Backout to home screen and reboot.
Let phone completely load up, then go into your dialer and see the changes.
Please report back with what needs to be fixed or what color arrangement you'd like different.
Otherwise enjoy!
Yeah ! thank you ! looks great ! Now it much better integrates in the theme.
I took screenshots with an app. The SDK for 2.2 won't install. It says that i have to install Java SDK, what i already did
So how you did it ? Is there a way to get inside the apk ? As you can see in screenshot 5 there is already red when i pressed the button. Can this changed also to yellow ? I ask because this "red" goes to the whole system. It is in the browser when he loads a site, it's there when i changed the volume and so on. I would like to edit more so that the system has one theme
When there is no way to theme the dialer buttons, is it possible to install the original contacts.apk ? I asked this in another thread too.
Don't forget the Thanks button!
Try this one, I made some more edits, need to see if it is the correct one for the button push. I don't believe there is a way to install the contacts.apk.
To theme the file you need to get into the apk, remove the res folder, theme in the drawable-hdpi and ten put the pieces back together. You can google for files to do so. I dont 't mind helping you..
I wonder how the yellpw in the status bar would look
Anyways, try this and see what differences there is.
Think I found a way to theme that even more. Give me a minute and i'll repost
For Honeycomb Theme
Here you go, this one should look even better.
Congo,
How does it look?
looks great ! thanks.have no time at the moment. Take some screenshot tomorrow
Good deal, look forward to checking it out
I get the sdk to run
Here are two screenshots
This there a Tutorial anywhere, what files i have to edit to get the red in yellow ?
Which apk i have to extract, and is there always a png ? or must i edit a xml file ?

It depends on exactly what you are trying to do... The main ones will be blurdialer, blurres and framewrok-res, but you have to be very careful with what you are doing. There are .9.pngs in these fiales that need to be decompiled and patched.... It's a lot if work at first until you get the hang of it. There is a full theme guid here on xda on the main board, under hacking then themes. If it sounds excruciating, just tell me exactly what you want and I am happy to do it.
Hi there,
loving my new Galaxy but I don't really fancy the page indicator telling me what page of the home screen I am on. Any option to hide it? And no I wanna stick with TouchWiz so no other Launcher suggestions please ;-)
Thanks
DoubleYou
anybody any ideas?
Hmmm I'm curious about this too.....
Im still very n00b to android but off the top of my head im thinking about the possibility of getting into the touchwiz files and making the page indicator graphics transparent.
There's probably another, more efficient way than that but..... .
I've no idea if that's possible but I would certainly hope so. Ill be looking into theming this thing when I get my sgs2 and if I have any luck ill let you know.
I hate page indicators.......
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face......
Yes let me know please in case you find a way? I was actually hoping someone had already found a way to do this though ;-)

I dont know if there are any differences between the touchwiz apks in different ROMS but to be on the safe side, upload the file "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" from "/system/app" for me and I will get rid of that pesky page indicator for you.
Its not completely removed, it still works if you long press on it, its just invisible.

hmmm just noticed that the numbers are still there.
I was using a black wallpaper so I didnt notice before...
Damn. Will keep playomg around with it.
I also would of thought it would be as simple as making the numbers transparent, even a blank .png file?

Afraid not. They are called into play by a line of code somewhere.
They can be disabled in the same way you would disable the names of apps displayed under the icons our another item of text. Its just a matter of finding the right line to tweak.

Ah, that makes sense. Hmm bit of pain!
Anyone have a Dark themed Google Voice? That would go with FunkenEclipse?
Anyone know how to theme this and up for the challenge?
** UPDATE **
Here is a working DarkGrey/Green themed version of GoogleVoice (0.4.2.32) if anyone wants it.
*Thanks to xkape*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=721602&d=1316189086
** Just put on SD card, boot into recovery, install zip and reboot **
There is a screenshot in xkape's post #16
Okay, So I've been trying everything I can think of, have done alot of reading. Really could use some help here guys. If anyone can give me some pointers I would greatly appreciate it.
I DLed the Google Voice from the Market, put on my computer, unzipped it with 7zip.
Took the res folder (drawable-hdpi), and replaced all the .png files with updated green/black themed ones from that above post.
This is where I get lost. I try to rezip the package, tried it with every kind of compression.
Everytime I go to install it on my phone, it tells me.....
Parse error
There is a problem parsing the package.
Anyone got some pointers?
OK buddy, 1st off, I am assuming by dark voice, you mean black background with white text. If that assumption is true, theres a lot more work to be done than editing images.
However, if you are in fact just trying to change images and are familiar with 7zip, the process is pretty easy. Especially since you already edited your images.
Lets do it this way, since your progression will yield the right results...
grab your completely stock voice that you have.. open it (NOT UNZIP) it with 7zip... find your way to the proper folder(s) and move your edited images into.. yes, while still zipped. Once thats done, close 7zip. it will ask you about updating the archive.. say yes... you're done.
And if you are in fact looking for the black backgrounds with white text.. grab my BNB theme and pull the Voice out if it. Its inverted.

Yeah, Dark themed Google Voice, like in the 1st post. The green one.
I havent thought about the TXT color... crap im not going to be able to read it after i update the PNGs......
One of your themes has a themed Google Voice? I might have to try that.....
Thanks for your help sir.
K, So I ended up pulling your Voice.apk from the BnB theme (which looks awesome btw... dunno how I missed that one)
I like it, but its just black and white. So I opened it with 7zip, go to res/drawable-hdpi and replace the file "widget_inbox_background.9.png"
That is the background for the widget.... only thing I care about..
I let it update the archive and save.
Copy the apk to my SD card and attempt to install it.
Everything looks great it appears to be installing then it gets to the end and says "Application not installed" done
I cannot get past this part..... am i doing something wrong?
bobhilton.... what color do you want it to be? Im willing to bet I can find the color you are looking for.
I mean the whole app, not just that background image. I can make that right in 5 minutes for you.

Really? wow that would rock. I'm just starting to learn this stuff. I've done so much reading and feel like i've came so far. but I'm finding out how much a pain in the arse these .9png files are....
The theme I'm looking for is the Dark greyish/ green one. Its in my first post of this thread. There is a screen shot here
http://www.mpmitchell.com/download/droidx/Apps/GVDA3.jpg
I like those colors.... not a fan of the font but i dont really care. I've tried everything. I found that .9png background widget image but I cannot insert it into your BnB theme
I would love if you could insert it if its not a big deal, you make it sound easy. I'm going on about 4 days of reading and about 10 different programs..... I must be missing something.....
Thanks for you help man.....
wait, you just want the widget?
Like this?

Yes, I did try flashing them with an update.zip it went with no errors but did not work. But I dont really know if I did it right..... this is a huge learning process for me.... If you can get these to work.... please tell me how.... and it better not take you 5 mins lol

why in the hell did I post a facebook widget?...lol wow.. just realized I did that. And you even told me I did.

Awesome man! Geeez that was fast..... mind giving me a few quick pointers on how you did it?..... You must've used cheat codes or a game genie
Actually, I think you may have just been trying to install it wrong..lol I decompiled it thinking I was going to need to fix some 9pngs but the log said they were all ok. So I just stuck it in an update.zip and installed it..lol
I attached mine if you want to try it.
Wow, I don't get it....
It worked flawlessly.... looks perfect.... you rock man.....
So if you don't mind.... just help me understand this a little....
I went through your flashable zip (Voice.zip) and looked at everything.... It just pushed the apk (Voice.apk) to ssytem/app..... right?
K, so, the Voice.apk that is in your updatezip... system/app/voice.apk
how did you get this to work?
Is this your original inverted voice.apk? and then you just replaced the drawable-hdpi complete folder? or just the updated pngs? and thats it? Thats like the first thing i tried.... for like HOURS....
I just went through the apk.... looks like you just overwrote the pngs and 9pngs with the new gray/green ones.... man... you didnt have to mess with any xmls did you?
That just seems way to easy... I tried that like 10 times
Anyhow... thank you so much for your help man!
If the above is true, shouldn't I be able to do this same process with the new updated googlevoice from the market? and just update the pngs?
Don't know if I want to try it yet, but im really curious where I went wrong so it might be a good challenge...
I think I may of had a bad update.zip... I will try yours next with themed facebook
Theres an new GVoice? I guess I need to get to it.
For this, All I did was take Voice out of the BNB theme and opened it with 7zip. (NOT UNZIP)... then I opened (again, not unzip) you hdpi folder. I highlighted all the images and moved them all at once into the BNB hdpi folder. I then closed 7zip and yes to updating the archive. I stuck Voice.apk into a update.zip template and put it on the SD Card. I rebooted into recovery and installed the zip.
Ive never tried just sticking something in the system folder and hiting install. Not sure that would work.
Maybe just putting the apk in there, making sure the permissions are correct and then just rebooting would seem more like the solid option to me. I mean, technically, if its in your system folder it is installed.
Hi,
I recently tried Themer App and it is a great tool to individualize your smartphone. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S5. However, when I try to integrated new fonts, creating fonts/ folder and put all files there and choose them in the themer font menu they won't work. Especially fonts with icons, because I wanted to use LinkedIN, Xing, Facebook and Twitter as font-icon. Anyone any idea what is my mistake? I now used some neus icons, but they should just be a temporary solution.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please place fonts in the /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts folder, that should help

Are you able to convert the font package into an .otf or .ttf file? Currently those are the only file types we support. I remember someone a few months ago trying to use Awesome-Fonts with the same error. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to use it though. Sorry about that!
They are already OTF and TFF files. I assume as a result they are available in the menu when choosing a font. However, when you choose e.g. Font Awesome fonts, the icons are not available/published and its basically Arial-Font. Any chance to get some icons?

Ah, we have it!
After doing some searching we found that Sebastian had the answer. He actually helps out in the Zooper section from time to time (kwerdenker). Here is his way of getting Awesome-Fonts to work: https://plus.googleapis.com/+SebastianSpindler/posts/TQyVKU4JZGf
Hope this helps!

No worries, it might be due to a new version of Awesome-Fonts. I've spoken to Sebastian, and hopefully he gets back to me soon. Else you're welcome to contact him via the Google+ link I sent.

Here's what he said a few minutes ago:
"The process for Font Awesome still works for me. Opened the cheat sheet http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/ in Chrome on my device, marked and copied the glyph, added a text module to a Zooper widget, selected FontAwesome as the font, then pasted the glyph into the text editor and it showed up."
Wooohoooo! It worked. Missed that you have to set FontAwesome as Font. Thank you!
