if you modify line 2 of dialpad_fragment_tmo in SecContacts.apk to android:background="#ff000000", it will make your dialer background black.
hey mike, did you remove the AM/PM yourself? i remember it was a smali edit but can't remember where in SystemUI policy exactly. if you don't know that's okay, would just keep me from searching
edit: you need to decompile to make this change
If you have modified black contacts and phone apk, would really appreciate if you upload and share
Thanks

Anyone tried contacts apk from international version? It's not black, but nice blue tint?
I wonder if it works...

okay, i'll try and direct you guys a bit better here. you can just go in the res folder and search for dialpad_fragment_tmo.xml
the exact location is
res\layout-sw359dp-xxhdpi\dialpad_fragment_tmo.xml
you guys may have been editing the one in the regular layout folder so that's why it didn't work.
edit: and i don't have mine modified like this. it is modified completely different. the black backgrounds are why we get the "smearing" effect that you guys see so i have gotten rid of all black backgrounds. the smearing happens because, unlike the S3 and like the S2, when you see actual black, no pixels are illuminated at all. so when you do things like scroll on a black background that has a header background (ie Settings), it appears to smear because the black pixels are being lit back up quickly. some prob think Samsung can fix this via software, but i doubt it will change. anyway, i could've made mine black but i wanted it to match across the entire theme. sorry for the long winded explanation. hope this all made sense at least.
edit: i stand corrected... smearing "issue" will be fixed in our next OTA which is currently out in Germany. i am... shocked haha

I understand what you saying regarding black pixels
But if you seen international S4, dialer buttons, background, as well as contacts are not black.
So pixels would not turn off, they are kind of dark blue tint.
Plus we can't just change background color.
US Galaxy 4, have black text on white background, can't just change background to black. Will need to do all other color replacements.
PS.
How's you're modified, can you post pics?
Here's mine

yeah i know they're not black (dialer buttons, background, contacts). doesn't really matter if the dialer background is black in regards to the smearing (because there's no scrolling here). i was saying i didn't make mine black because i wanted it to match the backgrounds of all of the other apps, which are not black anymore. there isn't black text in there iirc (on dialpad). the digit color (above dialpad numbers) while typing is a very dark blue-ish tint and the actual dial pad numbers are using images that don't have transparency so you could make the background black, but it would look bad haha.
i can't post pics yet as it would give away what i'm doing. it will release soon and then i'll be happy to
have a lot of things to take care of around my household so soon could be a week, not sure. i just have SecPhone left to do now since i worked on it more today. maybe someone will port a black dialer with modded images for you guys. it's actually a lot of work. to be honest, i spent the most time modifying SecContacts. there is just quite a lot going on in there. the way Samsung set it up is very strange coming from S3.

A million THANKS buddy
I was looking for this since first day of Galaxy 4.
They all work and look gorgeous, compared to original USA white versions.
I had stock Galaxy 2, T-Mobile version, and all this apps were same dark color theme, not sure why they decided to change to white theme for Galaxy 4, US versions. Not only all white apps look stupid, everyone knows that galaxy screens use less power with dark pixels.
ONCE AGAIN, THANKS A LOT !!!

Don't install, go to system, app
Rename original contact and phone apk ,as well as corresponding odex files
Don't need to touch, seccontactsprovider
Then paste new contacts, phone and mms into same folder

Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium3These are the steps I took;
Downloaded the 4 files from Post #132 (give thanks to qbanlixx).
SecContacts.apk
SecContactsProvider.apk
SecMms.apk
SecPhone.apk
Using EsFile Explorer create 2 folders on your external SDCard
Dark Themed Dialer
Backup Themed Dialer
Move the 4 downloaded files to Dark Themed Dialer folder
Using EsFile Explorer go to Device/System/App then locate;
SecContacts.apk
SecContactsProvider.apk
SecMms.apk
SecPhone.apk
Copy this to Backup Themed Dialer folder (just in case you have issues since these are the ones you currently have)
Next, Backup your ROM!
Open EsFile Explorer go to Root Explorer> Mount r/w> System> RW> Ok
Again with EsFile Explorer go to Device/data/dalvik-cache/ located and delete classes.dex for the following;
Phone
Contacts
Mms
Copy and paste the 4 files from Dark Themed Folder on external SdCard into your
Device/ System/ App
If successful your phone will auto update and most likely crash. Remove the battery and reboot the phone. If you have issues, go to recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache. Hope this help you.
@mike216, I spent 2 hours reading the 18 pages last night on my S4 and congratulate you helping out others here @qubanlinxx, I cant thank you enough for posting and sharing the files3
sure i've uploaded all three to my dropbox, now i have to figure how to share the links, let me know if this first one works then ill upload the rest.
http://https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7o4rxc4vnvgwdq/SecPhone.apk?m2Noob question on this:
It appears that those who have been successful with this are running custom ROMs. Anyone been able to accomplish this with a rooted stock ROM. I really want to stay with a stock ROM, but the white contacts/dialer is REALLY annoying.
Thanks
I'm using a rooted stock ROM, and it worked for me. Here's what I did.
1. BACK UP THE EXISTING .apks and corresponding .odex files to your EXTERNAL SD CARD FIRST, just in case.
2. Download the modded apks from this thread. I got them from Post 132
3. Using ES File Explorer (root and mount r/w permissions need to be enabled first in ES settings), I renamed and then deleted each of the existing odex files (in device>system>app) for the files with the same names as the modded apks that were to be copied and pasted from this thread. I just added ".old" after the existing ".odex" file name suffix for each of them.
SecContacts.odex --------> SecContacts.odex.old
SecContactsProvider.odex --------> SecContactsProvider.odex.old
SecMms.apk --------> (FINE AS IS)
SecPhone.odex --------> SecPhone.odex.old
4. Then, I deleted each of the above renamed .odex files one by one. I renamed them first, because it wouldn't allow me to delete them outright.
5. Once these .odex files were deleted, I copied and pasted the modded apks from this thread to the same place (again, device>system>app) to overwrite the system apps already there.
6. Finally, I rebooted to Recovery, wiped cache & dalvik cache, then booted up. If you can't reboot to recovery directly because your phone is wigging out with system crashes after you pasted the mods, don't worry. Just pull your battery, then boot into Recovery (Vol Up + Power) to wipe cache and dalvik cache first.
Everything works fine for me. It should work for you, too. Good luck!
