[GUIDE] T-mobile theme engine for the faint at heart (non-linux users)

[TUN_SD]

Hello, I try in vain to change apk with uppercase in name like Titanium and quickPic, but I still can not do... :/
where is the file Resource.cpp? in eclipse ? in apkmanager?
I can't find it
May be because I'have Windows... So, if it's because of this, a solution was found in windows?

Sry for the late reply.
You can only do this with a rom build environment and Linux.

For the first screen look in paranoid control.apk for a styles with holo.light and remove the .light....the second screenshot is in systemui styles labeled date in the line and just change the color code.

But you have it off white and it is off white. ffcccccc is off white. Did you change it to red and it's still white?

LOLOLOL I've done that many times.....ok for the PA background you need to edit the styles.xml and change the .Light in this line to .Black and it will make the background dark with white text example:

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light" />

to

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black" />

and define it in a package xml named: com_paranoid_preferences.xml in your theme xml folder

Like this:

<item name="style/AppTheme">@style/AppTheme</item>

You need to do this for the other folder values-v11 sytles.xml as well!!!

I'm thinking a misssing .XML file in drawable not being called or missing.

I'm thinking a misssing .XML file in drawable not being called or missing.

here are the xmls on my drawable for contacts

com_android_contacts_ab_dropdown_navigation_item_background
com_android_contacts_ab_dropdown_navigation_item_background_pressed
com_android_contacts_action_bar_item_background
com_android_contacts_action_bar_tab
com_android_contacts_dialpad_background
com_android_contacts_gray_action_bar_background
com_android_contacts_group_list_item_background
com_android_contacts_list_divider
com_android_contacts_list_item_activated_background
com_android_contacts_quickcontact_list_item_divider
com_android_contacts_quickcontact_track_background

again these are all copy pasted from his template
wait, you think it affects on my rom? i am running aokp

 

[MrDSL]

Those all look right...I know its in there cause when I remove all the styles/colors/drawable stuff from com_android_contacts.xml then the letters turn black again. Being at work I can't check though..

I actually did load AOKP for my Note last night and they were white...however I did notice in landscape the color change is broken and is white no matter what..that issue isn't there in cm10 so its on their end...it would surprise me if it was AOKP causing the problem.

Pm me your apk and I'll try it on cm10 and see if you want.

This is how it looks on my phone.

the only part that was messed on mine was the "favorite" tab of contact, only the font of frequently contacted lists was the dark, as seen on my screenshot before,
