[GUIDE][MOD] [I9500]WHITE Themed APK --UPLOADED [Flashable Zip Attached]

grgsiocl · Jun 23, 2013

Apart from secsettings, I will also post a guide to other apk's so that themers can make a VRtheme! It will work on all the variants of Galaxy S4. Though the changes look huge, but it is pretty small only...so dont be scared by looking at code!:laugh: It is tested on GT-I9500 MF3 FW. I have also attached a secsettings.apk for I9500 (MF3 FW) flashable zip for deodexed rom.

Anyway major change is very simple all we need to change is from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light. This is only change which controls all other apks apart from some png's. So themers can give a try.

Some hidden secrets for themers:

1. You can make the entire apk / rom/ fraemwork to white by just modyfying the styles.xml from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light

2. To make any app to work in full window (I mean to hide statusbar), all we need to do is add a following line at the beginning of styles.xml and by default the app works in full window

PHP:

<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

Download Link

This flashable zip works only with GT-I9500 deodex roms only. If you have odex, then delete the odex files and then flash the zip. I have not tested on any other variants, so odnt scream on me if it doesnt work. Only call recording mod is not enabled, which i will upload today evening. Mirrors are welcome. For secsettings.apk, the download link is avaibale at the bottom of this post.

Download for all other apks

I tried all other apks and everything is coming white with small change in xml. I guess you can try as well! Tonight i will try to edit the framework as well (oops I just done it and need to change the secondary color and framework is also done), in the mean time, here you go the myfiles...still the work needs to be done though...

Rixsta · Jun 22, 2013 at 3:47 PM

I use vrtheme but i cant use that for settings because the value folder is hidden in the apk

Any help with that please mate ?

dong2007 · Jun 22, 2013 at 3:49 PM

Does your guide also only work for Deodexed Rom?

Please make white music player and keyboard if possible..

it wworks with odexed as well, because i am not making any changes in classes.dex, hence you can follow the guide with no problems... Let me reveal the secret..

all the apks and framework xml's needs to be changed from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light in styles.xml and twseconadry and primarycolors needs to be changed. Thats all, you will have white theme of entire samsung ROM

Another Hidden secret! TO make any app to work in full window. Navigate to styles.xml and add the following line

<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

Bro, i am not much in to themeing, I am only interested in coding...but somehow (I love white though) i got motivated to make this theme by editing xml files...i guess, you can contact vertumus , propably he can help you...

edit: I guess it can be done, as i remember DARKY ROM / ALLIANCE ROM scripts works like vrtheme and they use the same for themeing...i will check tonight

Rixsta · Jun 22, 2013 at 4:14 PM

there is many things in settings that still has white text, if you were to use a pure white background then there is a lot in the sub menus that would be unreadable. I think the project is just far to big for myself to make a complete theme, its just to complex

Thanks anyway

All xml files from values* folders end up in 'resources.arsc'. It would be a nightmare if one couldn't change values here but it's for sure not a problem for vrtheme.
