[Q] help themeing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guysni don't know if this is where I should put this but
I built a ROM based off another ROM and that ROM has the choice to use a dark ui or light ui
Well as I was building the ROM I noticed the ui of the notifation changed and now the a quick toggles are unreadable and stuff has changed now I tried decompiling the APIs and they are right
I even tried taking the system ui apk
And sec settings apk from the original ROM and reputting them in my ROM and it still happened
Only thing I could think of is
My tweaks interfering
Or maybe I should try changing the frameworkres apk
Anyone got any ideas

[Q] touchwiz systemui.apk andlast cm10.1 build

Hello can anyone provide me with a system ui.apk that is modded to look like the touchwiz statusbar and can anyone give me a link to the last cm10.1 as i cant find it on the cm site i only find the experimental versions
1. Search for CM on Google
2. Search Touchwiz 5 theme on Play Store
3. Search for TW launcher
Hello
I dont want a theme ive tried a few and they change things I dont want them to be changed I just want the statusbar without the use of any application.
I already have the touchwiz launcher so no need for it
I searched for cm10.1 on google again just to show you that I couldnt find anything but guess what I noticed that on the cm site there is the rc build of cm10.1 so I guess you helped me there
So I just need a systemui.apk that contains a modified statusbar as I want to use it in my rom.
Modified in what way. What sort of look? Best place to look is theams and apps thread if you don't want apps of playstore ect ect

Let me have a guess...
Android v 4.2.2
Based on Xperia v2 ROM ( from the A919 Tool app icon and the normal nav bar icons in screenshot no. 2, and also the background in screenshot no. 1 where a message is seen saying that " Actually I was bored with Xperia v2 ROM so I made this ROM. " )
Changed Framework apk and systemui apk
Added Samsung Apps like the launcher and calendar, etc.
Updated GmsCore.apk (or Google Play Services to be simple)
Did not edit and/or change the data folder
Followed any MTK porting guide
Did a quick port today ( from the date and time in the screenshots )
Better RAM management -- Tweaked minfree values would be my guess
Did not change the Flashlight app (TinnoLED.apk)
Brighter Flashlight -- Not as easy as he hoped. He would need some redirection of app processing power to the flashlight app to increase its importance, and thereby increase the flashlight brightness. I'm guessing he hasn't done that, so you'd better remove that line.
Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.
Here is a bug which he cannot fix.
3g support on both SIMs.
For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.
BRO thanks for your opinions and thought

See i ported this Material L for unite 2 (a106) for our s5+ it was ported successfully and also booted up i used it for More than 3 days not found any other bug except Camera and flashlight..I changed some of its Lib files With Stock and also changed its gallery to stock and tried many other methods but still the cam bug didnt fixed..Else everything working really good.whenever i opens the cam it says unfortunately camera has stopped else everything works at its best...
Yeah, I just thought I should type out my thoughts about the ROM and then wait and see your reply. Sorry for that, though.
---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------
You used some MTK porting guide, didn't you ?
Another thing, what do you mean by Material L ? Do you mean to say that you have ported an Android L ROM to this phone ?
I think you have just ported some ROM with just the Material Design UI, as seen in the screenshots (They do not have the Android L Navigation Bar Buttons. )
You could try replacing the permissions in that, as most likely, that would be the root cause of many such errors. A permission file related to the camera settings could be improperly coded, and/or might have a bad file, either corrupt or something like that.
I just needed this tiny favour from you of creating a proper, working update-binary and updater-script inside a META-INF folder which can be used for all my ROMs. If that is over, you'll be seeing those ROMs on XDA quite soon.
Another thing. In the CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop ROM which I am porting, the apps folder has individual folders for each app. So, the flashlight app is in system/app/flashlight/flashlight.apk . Could that be the cause of the ROM not installing properly ? I'm going mad over that as that was the first time I have seen any ROM with apps grouped like that.
Thanks in advance for your contribution.
tnx for posting.. try to port this rom..we r same spec of ur device..

[Q] HK theme changer not working ?

Hello guys,
I have Eudemony rom(deodexed). I've been using xposed for some time now.. And today I found out about HK theme manager. So I installed it, downloaded an Android Lolipop theme made for HK theme manager from this site: http://www.xposedgeek.net/2014/10/get-android-l-theme-on-all-android.html
But everytime I try to set the theme , then almost nothing happens(after reboot). Why am I saying almost ? Because I see a change in notification bar, where there are changed colours and the icon(shortcut) of settings is changed.. But nothing else...
Am I doing something wrong ?? Or is HK not compatible with touchwiz based roms ?
Thanks for help, if you guys know of any other way, how to get rid of touchwiz everywhere(even in setting and so on) then tell me I want normal stock UI and launcher + icon skin is not enough for me

Can you point me how to change the style and app icons ?

Lockscreen icon location

Hello there,
I'm developing a ROM for my device and it's based on Lollipop 5.1
I'm not the biggest noob in making ROMs but I want to change the lockpick on the lockscreen with my logo. So, I decompiled framework-res.apk, found the lockpicks and replaced all of them with my logo. Replaced the framework and all other changes that I made were good but the lock screen remained the same. Tell me what to do please!
