You have to define the parent in styles for it to compile.

Ok, I see the error...Your styles line should be like this:

Code:

    <style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Battery" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
        <item name="android:textSize">14.0dip</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#ffbebebe</item>
    </style>

No "*" between @ and android That's why your getting that error!

I wasn't paying attention to the lines you posted...sorry

Usually if @android is not in the parent you need to add the parent to styles but this is not the case.

With the newer apktool 1.5.0 it always decompiles mine with @*android

So far I haven't noticed any issue with or without it when building.

That's odd, it shouldn't have the * there but I use apk multitool to build my themes. I only decompile with apktool but I only use the new one on apps that give me problems decompiling.

They who? Pretty sure it was already merged in AOKP, and it has been submitted to CM gerrit so it should be merged soon.

I think the only thing holding it up is how to deal with the quick reply, since it's not easy to theme parts of it as it's partially themed in the java source code. Check the comments on the commit.

Oh, and thank you sir. I think I have finally got the transparent Mms and transparent Contacts finished. I did add the DialtactsTheme1 and CallDetailActivityTheme1 to it as well though.

Here's my Contacts files (minus the images).

hi mate i tried this template,
i don't know what went wrong but the font under contacts/favorites tab/frequently contacted lists are not white,

in /color/ folder you should have two files

com_android_contacts_primary_text_color.xml
com_android_contacts_secondary_text_color.xml

text color inside set to white or whatever you want and also defined in com_android_contacts.xml like so

Code:

    <item name="color/primary_text_color">@color/com_android_contacts_primary_text_color</item>
    <item name="color/secondary_text_color">@color/com_android_contacts_secondary_text_color</item>

    <style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Clock" parent="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded">
        <item name="android:textSize">32.0dip</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>

Could someone say the names of the .png/.9.png that are used for dial upper background(black)/marker(blue)?
It's CM9.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32081053&postcount=264

EDIT:

Also, the names of an image between phone icon and 0

I may be wrong as I'm on cm10 and after you've changed lots of things it can be quite hard to keep track

dial upper background try com_android_contacts_ab_stacked_opaque_dark_holo.9

marker is com_android_contacts_tab_selected_holo

image between phone icon and 0 on mine is <item name="color/dialpad_switch_bg">@color/dialpad_switch_bg</item>
