Is there any way to set a custom background to the dialer instead of just white background? Any help would be appreciated

Install xposed framework and search for xbackground. It will change all your blank backgrounds including the settings menu.

Where you able to change the dialer pad?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
The keypad background for the dialer is the "dialer_bg_port_top.png". The png is located in the "drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi" folder of the SecContacts.apk. This png only changes the background behind the keypad numbers. The bottom row is controlled by "dialer_bg_port_bottom.png".
Have fun...

hey not that this really has anything to do with this but maybe you know, im trying to change the background on the text message notification,i have a theme that doesnt work very nicely witht the rom im on and it had it black with white text or maybe it was transparent but heres a screen shot. and i know that in the framework-res/res/drawable theres a xml document that is background_holo_dark witch is what is in myn that makes all the backgrounds black even for the dialer if you go to the domination thread for his theme theres mods on there one of them is black backgrounds if that helps you any im sure you could put whatever xml document you wanted in there but it would probably but that background threw the whole phone.

Interesting... I never messed with the message lock screen. Messing with an xml would either change more than you want or only change the color and transparency. In order to change to an image the framework xml would need to point to a png. The only png I know of close in the framework is the "keyguard_fmm_text_box.9.png", but it only controls the text box on the lockscreeen. Beyond that I'm sorry, but I don't know of a png controlling the entire background as an image.

maybe i confused you the xml i was talking about was in response to the guy trying to change the background of the dialer,theres a theme called domination and in his thread he has mods one of them being black backgounds and thats a xml file that you flash in vrtheme zip or whatever but it changes all the backgrounds black for your settings, dialer ,some apps like root exploer and such, i was just looking to make that notification on my lock screen black with white text, in his domination theme it does that but the rom i am on is themed right now but that is not im trying to find what file or what it is that he made that missed notification black. but ill look at the .png you pointed me too thanks.

i figured it out
Okay I have a question and I THINK I know the answer but if someone knows better hope they can help out.
I am wanting to change the background of the INCALL Dialer. On ShoStock it is plain black at least. I shave been through the SecPhone and SecContacts and either missed it or if I am thinking correctly it is an .xml edit. I kniw how to modify .xml's but rather not. Any help is appreciated. This would be for my themes I just posted and I dont like the incall dialer. Thanks
I was HOPING to change the dial button background in the incall dialer (with the white arrow) to match the dial button backgrounds in the second screenshot of the main dialer...
I am NOT as concerned with the BACKGROUND imagebut just the dialer buttons section.

Hi Rock...
Just saw your post... It's an XML edit for sure. There are No PNG's that control that part. I've never looked into changing it though. Now you have me curious as to where the value is exactly. Hopefully it's in the values/colors.xml of either phone or contacts otherwise it could take some digging (understatement). I would start with contacts as the likely canidate.

Thanks. That is what I was guessing. Too bad. On the S3's it still had a .PNG associated with it in the SecPhone.apk
Thanks for the reply. I don't know if I want to mess with .xml's at all. I used to when I was making themes before using vr theme formats. I found it a lot nicer to just do the .pngs as it will work across multiple devices and firmwares. So if I edit a .XML it probably would cause issues across different firmware versions and devices.

RC theme to try if you like Honeycomb Blue for Redux 1.2
Inspiration and original imagery Huge thanks to haxzamatic! > > >
With help from Mendozinas @ UOT for the bulk of the original port work! > > >
This theme is for Redux v 1.2, Ported from the original Honeybread theme chooser theme with some amendments.
The theme is not perfect yet. There are still some things that are not quite right. I am working on these at the moment. Unfortunately I am not a themer or theme porter (first attempt) so I will do my best. If anyone has tips, fixes or bugs, please feel free to post in this thread.
These are:
1) Original unlock icons have a square glow. Not sure the best way to tackle this
2) Drop box notification items using black text on black notification back ground
3) Titanium backup using progress / seek bar for free / used space out of alignment
4) Maximise expand list button looks out in settings menus.
[Theme] Honeycomb Blue for Redux v1.2 (RC1) - link temporarily removed
Wallpaper if desired:
Changelog:
RC1 - updated Notification power widget "on" buttons and Battery colour to static "3E5C9A" to match status bar icons.
Beta4 - Fixed Lock screen unlock image alignment issue
Beta3 - Fixed black on black text in notification pull down
Beta2 - Updated Progress / seek bars to represent original Theme chooser apk
Beta1 - First test release
First of all could you change the battery to SCB version O which I mentioned in other thread?
And it was sometimes hard to see where to put "ticks" (or whatever) in multi selection situations. Maybe some more contrast there?
Otherwise nice work
Thanks for your work.
Going to flashed it right now.
Edit:
Wowwww this looks great man!!
Only one thing. I find it a little bit difficult too see if a item in the powerwidget in the notificationsbar is selected.
Edit 2:
Personally I loves this more then the themed 1.2 version.
I say a third redux version: 1.2 honeycomb

I know it can be done, but not sure if I want that myself.
I may do a second version like that for people to use where the battery 100% of the time matches the data connection icons.

I know they look good in the menu. Not sure about browser though. I think maybe there you mean?
The icons are all the original from the theme chooser theme. If I can correct them with my limited photoshop skills, I will

The problem is similar to this one. Colours are too close.
I already changed rom so I can't take any screenshots. But I think I'm going back to Redux very soon.

Sorry forgot to update the link.
I'm not going to be doing any further work on the theme over this weekend.
Although I link and thank the original author for his work in this thread, I hadn't officially asked him to use his amazing images in this port.
I have asked him now and I am awaiting his response but it just wouldn't be right to continue working on it until he has explicitly given his permission for me to share this theme.
When I moved to Redux, I missed his great theme immensely and wanted it ported immediately but I did get carried away with how nice it made Redux look and wanted to share it without thinking about the original author's feelings towards it.
Hopefully he will give me permission to continue, so fingers crossed.

in the kitchen that icon is named stat_ing_off.png (instead of stat_ring_off.png)
This is done because primary mod had this mistake.

Thanks. Looks very similar to how mine came out (although yours are a bit tidier).
I do think it looks more like a florescent light tube though, rather than the original glow.
This is what it looks like in-situ
I suppose there are the below choices.
1) leave as is
2) Use edited icons like these
3) Recreate new icons from scratch
4) Lose the sliders
I dont think the last option is a good idea at all though.
I'm a huge fan of Widgetlocker and it has some pretty good skins for lockbar. Draw some inspiration out of those?
I cooked one framework myself and I'm really pleased at least with that Redux text at the footer. Font is Sony Sketch Bold if you're interested. Only thing bugging me is that grey backround at the notification widget. Should be black but no skills to change.
E: Wait. Is it that settings_header_raw.9.png?

Hiding the drawer icon is definitely something I'm considering However I have a few ideas to improve it as well, perhaps a sort of "quick launch bar" in a row where the icon is currently located.

No problem buddy! Im trying to find more bugs and ways to make it better...Last night when I downloaded the APK and tried to install it my phone wouldn't let me cuz it said "App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed." The way I tried to install it was using Root Explorer and just over writing the app by installing the new APK but i guess something is going wrong with the signature cuz ive never seen this happen...so I just went to the playstore and uninstalled it from there and re-installed the new copy from there....But i still have one more issue. Whenever you install a new launcher from the play store and immediately after you click the home button the OS prompts you which launcher do you want to use..i have 3 launchers installed (Nova, Chameleon, & Tile) But the OS never prompts me which launcher do I wanna use...
UPDATE: Alright so I got it working now. Android now prompts for the launcher >>> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvZDNKY21yV282TGM
But one more bug I found is that whenver you go to the widgets in the app drawer and you drag for example Airdroid 4x1 Widget Tile Launcher crashes.
This is extremely promising... Keep this up, if you play you're cards right, you may just have the most "innovative" launcher out there

Hmm ok. Are you on ICS? Dropping widgets is still being worked on, added it to the known issues list now.
As for prompting for the launcher, it should prompt you every time you install a new launcher, strange if it didn't. It's possible to go to Apps -> Your current home launcher -> Clear defaults to make it prompt if that happens again.
I'll be returning home this weekend, hope to get a new build out soon Cheers

New Icon Concept
I got bored so I was playing around and came up with this. Didn't take me much time but if you like it let me know and ill put more details into it
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOveEFNdElEWjEwdWM
i love this launcher!!
here some ideas:
- make it more flexible (the user no more needs to sets numbers of colums and rows)
then:
- option to choose min tile size (width and height)
- option to choose from horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in home
- option to choose paginated scrolling (regardless scrolling orientation) in home
- drawer categories
- option to enable google search bar near the app drawer button
- option to replace the launcher menu in app drawer with google play shortcut (or another app)
- fix custom color (can't set a custom hex color on nexus s cm10)
add these features even in a paid version and i'll buy it
keep it on!!
Anyone find a way to change or the stock app icon? The stock one looks like crap with my custom icons.
Thanks Devs. From my Verizon LG G2.

Most are just 2 or 3 megs, once you have them just click on em in your download directory and they will install and then you can change your themes in the stock launcher under the theme setting. Make sure you have unknown sources turned on in your settings.

Thanks man- I got a few different ones, but I stuck with the stock vanilla.
There is ONE last thing I want to change: I don't like how folders look. Anyone got an idea on how to change that?

I've got them installed and I can pick from their icons by editing icon individually but I cannot find anywhere to apply a theme to the whole launcher. I have the at&t version if that matters. I've looked everywhere. Maybe it's just disabled on this model? I don't know. I really want to change my app drawer button though and it can only be changed by applying the theme to the entire home launcher.

For me, it was easy to find. I do have the verizon one, but the only difference in settings is that Verizon's settings page is set to one long one, and ATT has tabs (but either can switch that in settings).
I clicked the settings button from the home screen, which brought up the settings menu: then found homescreen and BOOM...
Try switching your settings view mode to single page over tabbed and it might be easier.

Your installing the apks and then changing themes using the theme setting from main menu or the Home menu under settings? When I switch themes it changes all my icons but maybe a quick reboot will refresh your dock and home icons unless Verizon is different like the ATT guys don't seem to have the theme chooser. I'm on T-Mobile.

I've changed the theme from both menus, same result. Then, if I use icon themer after changing the theme, it will change everything EXCEPT the system icons. Cool feature, just doesn't seem to be working for me like I wanted. Running Clean Rom if it matters. All I really want is a way to change the app drawer icon, which doesn't seem possible at the moment.
Thanks Devs. From my Verizon LG G2.
That is so weird, just changed my theme to Crystal2 in the LG Launcher and there you can see my app drawer icon is a cool X.

When I install a theme, it only themes the system icons, including the app icon(which is great), but not any other icons. I assume it's because of a variation in the way the system is set up as compared to the phone these were originally made for? I've tried 5 different themes with the same result, only system icons themed. Hmmmm...
On Cleanrom, if it makes a difference.

However the phone allows you to change any other app's icon at will... you can even go download images or create them in PS and have ANYTHING you want as an icon really easily. Just pick up the app, then drop it on your screen, and a purple brush shows up in the corner: click that and you can change it to anything... literally anything you want.

Again, I'm fully aware of that option, on the home screen, but that doesn't change the fact that the themes do not change any icons other than system app icons. In the drawer. Or system wide, like icon themer does.

I'm guessing on your phone when you hit the menu key it doesn't show theme so go to settings/Home screen and it should be there.
Depends what you mean by theme. I am pretty sure the stock phone can really just change wallpaper and move icons around. With root access you can install the Xposed framework which allows much more customization which is probably what you want, and with custom launchers such as Nova or Apex you can also do wallpaper changes and run custom icon packs. But maybe the theme you saw was nothing more than some UCCW widgets, IDK since I haven't seen the one you are talking about.

The stock launcher on the G2 has a theme changer and comes with two themes that change icons, walls and the clock widget maybe more. So its basically good for changing icon packs and then just reset your wallpaper after you get the icons you like. Yes you can use Nova or whatever and customize icons to your hearts content but I prefer the LG launcher and I'm thrilled they added this.

Yea I love it, just wish it theme'd widgets but guess i will splurge on Beautiful Widgets/HD Widgets
(stock transparent clock-weather widget would be nice tho)
I'm on the at&t variant and I can't find the theme option anywhere either. I'm guessing they took it out. I can still change individual icons by holding the icon, tapping the purple brush that pops up, hitting Menu and selecting a theme I've installed from the previous thread and then they all show up for selection. This only works for individual icons though and will not help you change the app drawer button, which is the one I wanted to change.

Wow that sucks, makes no sense. I know carriers add bloat but didn't think they touch anything in a UI. This is the theme manager on the G2.

I don't think just flashing yours would work. It might but the guy needed all the files for the models he was building the mod for from the devices he was building for. I think it would need a little more than just swapping it.
And I tried that mod. No theme ability on the at&t version of the phone. Still.

I believe the international and Verizon version have the theme chooser, along with the Korean version. It allows you to switch to the Marshmellow stock theme, and others to come in the future. However, I think its apparent that the At&t version is missing this functionality. Would it be possible to add it back in an APK?

You'd probably have to wait for a dev to add it to their ROM
T-mobile version has it.
There's an internal application I found with system tuner called home chooser, don't think its enabled though. Anyone with another carrier version know if this is what were looking for?

I don't want to change launchers because Nova doesn't have transparent status bar or nav bar on the G2, and I haven't found anything on Xposed that does it on a different launcher.
But I'd like to be able to change the app drawer icon on the home screen. "Icon changer" from the play store works great on the stock launcher, except for the app drawer.
Any ideas?
I changed it manually via the theme apk.

Try using a the multi photo wallpaper, thats the only way I've been able to get transparent nav bar with xposed on nova
No issue here. Nova prime (not like that should matter for this) g2 settings with xposed and transparency set to 0 (that means 100% transparent)I'm using just a regular wallpaper from my gallery without cropping. I used black for the color which only appears in apps. Otherwise the home screen nav and status bar are completely transparent.

I got it! You need to enable transparent navbar in BOTH gravity box (downloaded through Xposed installer) and in G2 Exposed.
Using Nova beta.

Make a copy of your theme that you're using and put it on your desktop
use this software to change the apk to a rar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108798
then extract the rar using free software like 7zip or tugzip
find the app draw icon (2 of them, one is labeled "pressed") in the following location: res\drawable-xxhdpi\
replace those 2 icons with your preferred icon
use 7zip/tugzip/similar to zip the folders back
then use the above software to convert the zip back to an apk
put back on your phone using file explorer replace the old apk with the new apk and give it the right permissions
if you did it all right once you hit "home" the phone should refresh the stock theme/interface and wala you have a new app drawer icon
Will try it out as soon as posibl and will let you know, thanks for taking the time.

No luck here bro. After doing everything you mentioned to the best of my limited abilities lol i put the framework-res.apk back in the phone with root explorer, it asked me if i wanted to overwrite it and as soon as i clicked yes it rebooted and got hung up on the boot screen and no matter what i did i could not get it to load back up so after a while i ended up restoring from a backup. I guess im just not Knowledgeable enough for this and though i hate to give up i don't want to mess anything up either, i designed quite a lot of themes on iOS in the last couple of years but im just not Knowledgeable enough on Android to do so
. If you (jim_0068) ever have some time to kill and want to take a shot at a more barnie style walk through with me i would forever be greatful if not then no big deal i still appreciate you taking the time thus far, thanks.
