[All Carriers]Touch Wiz Themeing Questions

[shane6374]

Hey, sorry if this was touched on, but I did read the whole thread and then ran a search.

I'm wondering how I might change the text of the Lockscreen, specifically the clock and date. I want to remove the outline from clock, change the color of date, and remove the drop shadow of all of the text.

In addition, is there a way to use custom icons on the lock screen?

I love the ripple lock, but its lack of customization options stinks.

Someone else that has done this might be able to give you a better answer but, if it can be done via xml it will be in the layout xml's in the framework-res.

I'm hoping someone can help me out as i'm fairly inexperienced with android development and have never had a samsung device before.

Basically I wanted to make my device look as much like the Gnex as possible and first thing on my list is to turn the softkeys back on. I was successful in reenabling the softkeys but they are not in the right order and the images are not stock images. Fixing the images should be trivial since it just involves replacing the png files in the systemui.apk file but even after I replace the images in the file they still show as the old images. I extracted every png from the file, thinking that maybe they are in more than one spot but I can only find them in the drawable-sw800dp-xhdpi folder.

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong or what the correct way is to re-order these so they are in the same layout as the Nexus?

change Clock and Date, lockscreen

Hey, sorry if this was touched on, but I did read the whole thread and then ran a search.

well, i know that the clock are just images in framework-res in the drawable-xhdpi folder. Shane is prob right in regards to the date in layout.xml of that same file.

give me a second and i'll find the date colors. i found where they're called in but there wasn't any type of identifier for the text color
edit: alright, it took a lot of hunting around to figure this out haha looks like Shane was correct after all.
res\layout-sw360dp\keyguard_circlelock_clockwidget.xml
change (line 21)
<TextView android:textSize="20.0dip" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#fff6f7c9" android:gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/zzz_date_month" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="24.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="2.0dip" android:shadowColor="#aa000000" android:shadowDy="2.0" android:shadowRadius="1.0" />

also, the AM/PM color, i think that is line 18 of this same file as android:textColor="#fff8f8f8"
edit: and the shadow can be found with this AM/PM line for it, respectively. for this one, you'll need to change shadowDx and shadowDy, as well as radius to 0.0. that'll get rid of shadows

edit: this post has been updated with the correct file location for making these changes. it does work now

Anyone know how to get lockscreen clock xml mods to stick? I cant seem to get the color codes for clock info (date, day, am/pm....etc) to stick.

edit: solved removing clock

anybody know what file you need to remove certain icons from statusbar. for example if i want to remove vibrate icon, is it as simple as replacing it with blank.png or will that just leave a blank space

Yes that is the right xml, but most of the lockscreen text color edits dont stick for me

So is contacts just impossible to recompile?


I guess I should ask if anyone has had any luck getting this thing to recompile. It's one of the last apks for me to theme...and every tool I have tried has been a no go.

That should be the right file. Just not sure why color codes arent sticking.

 

[xCaldazar]

I searched the thread but didn't see anything relative come up with the problem I am having. When I get 7 notifications they start to overlay the clock. Is there a way to limit the max notifications I can get? I have been looking through the files, but I'm not really sure where to edit.Here is an example"

 

[PhantomHacker]

Anyone know how to make the tw quick control setting background fully transparent?

Edit:Got it.


Now where is the black status bar image located? (with the date and Sprint on it.) Thanks.

 

[mrvirginia]

i'm not sure either. if you don't get it, i'll be messing with it mid week and can tell you whether it's def right or not.

In values/colors of the contacts.apk you need to change "tw_color145"
