I gotcha. I'm gonna be home in an hour or so. If you want, you csn DL one of themes from the sprint S4 for a reference if you'd like. I gotta do this all myself today, so I'm gonna take it in a bit. There is a Contacts apk, just can't remember the correct file name off hand, but the contact photo will definately be there.
If you find anything let me know. I've looked through a ton of files and can't find the images for the contacts pics.

Seems like these new image files are gonna put a hurt on us themers untill we can get a batch converter, but even then having to covert back to pkm this is gonna take some time. Unless we make some type of smali edits perhaps to point to our own created pngs for apps we want to theme with these types of images, in gonna play around with this myself this week.

It's hard to say.
I went through and replaced and bunch of .pkm files with their .png counterparts and didn't have any issues with the contacts file so I think if we could just get all the pkm files to decompile, we'd be golden.

Not positive about the "and here" sections.... But the tabs are actual images pulled from framework-res.apk. they are not in the phone apps. Those tabs are shown thru settings, phone, calculator and other apps. Compare the images in your framework-res.apk drawable-xhdpi or drawable-xxhdpi folders.

If you look at the theme linked in my Sig, you'll see I have the icons replaced with PCB images..... You can compare my framework from the theme to see where your images are... And what they are named.

Edit: I should add I'm on the s3 running kitkat 4.4.2

Pkm fix

I think I found the rest of the images. But they're compressed in a really funky format. Check out
priv-app/SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk/res/drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi

Update:
A thread has been started regarding this file compression:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700860

I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but if you change the png to pkm it will flash correctly using vrtheme. Check out the changes I made to the SecContact_Flagship file in the chrome the of Missing Link

    An example of the call banner is that large green banner at the top of the screenshots I posted for the in-call screen. It changes color depending on the call status but I hate it, want it gone and prefer the full screen display without it. If I get it working, I'll post a screenshot so you can see the difference.
    looking right now brotha....On the S4 the Call Banner was in res-Values-Colors.xml and was incall_call_banner_in_call_background...which i always made Transparent

    Sammy moved a TON of stuff around and has throw myself oiff a bit too lol.

    Im just a little over halfway with my stuff, but still working on the COntacts and Dialer

    GImme one sec, lemme see if i can track it down real quick

    EDIT....YWait....are talking about the GReen in the SS? or the In cAll banner when your in an actual call? THere is a Banner for "In Call" and "End Call" which is in the Colors XML in the TeleService apk. THat will get rid of the Banner there, which i reall Dislike. If your trying to get rid of that Ugly green, thats an image

    Ok, I'm getting there.
    I still don't have proper images for contact silhouette images though for some reason.
    Got rid of the banners as well. ;)
