[Q] need help: settings items not working after theme

I created a port of a tron theme for the 2.3.15 OTA. Right now it is only for framework, and I have simply swapped images and edited colors in xml files. I can no longer open Settings-->phone settings.
When I click it, it just goes back to my home screen. Any ideas what I may have messed up? The same thing happens for battery manager too...

Get CM7 Theme Chooser to work on the Vibrant

Hey guys, I really love to have some of the CM7 themes from the Android Themes forum on my Vibrant. I've downloaded a few of them to try out but it didn't seem to work. When I hit apply, my phone didn't look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021507
Please help me! Btw i'm running CM7 nightly 56 ROM

Well first of all, you have to be using the ADW launcher included with CM7... you can't be using another launcher like Eugene373's Gingerbread launcher... then only your top menu and icons will change.
If you're downloading the apk file you want, then simply installing it, you should be able to go to you apps, select theme chooser (multi colored android guy) and then apply whatever theme it is in there.
If it doesn't work..... you must be the only one who has that problem lol. Shoot me a PM if you still can't figure it out.

ok so the top menu and icons change. How do I get the rest to work?

restart the phone after you select a new theme.

i did that and only its still just the top menu and icons

Your not using adw launcher thats why. You have to go to ur home screen, hit tbe menu key, then go to manage apps. Somewhere k there you will see launcher, you eed to select it and hit clear defaults.
Im not sure if there is an easier way maybe someone knows

theming status bar

Ok so I've installed the Falcon Galaxy mod because I like the touchwiz interface. However I do not like the look of the status bar. I've read in other posts that all you need to do is go into the SystemUI.apk file of another mod and replace the drawable folders of the mod you're installing. I have tried the systemui for honeyvillain and for status bar mods for the galaxy and none of them seem to have worked. After I flash either the system ui app force closes over and over or some of the icons work and some don't. Can anyone help me out? I'm kind of new to editing apks.

I have changed 98%of my status bar with NinjaMorph successfully. I am using the Lenovo back, home, and menu buttons. I have also changed the battery, wifi and everything else except the clock color, which is beyond me at the moment. Give me a few and I'll post some pics.

Ok, Im now on my PC so I will post up some screnn shots to show what can be done with NinjaMorph.

oh cool, i thought that app was only for phones. thanks for the help!

No problem. When doing the systemUI.apk right after selecting whether or not you want to zipalign (sp) it, it will f/c. Don't worry, just power down and back on and should be good to go. Don't forget to backup first.

do you know what the name of the file is that determines the color of the status bar?

I don't. But looking through Res & systemUI like it is on my phone the status bar should be white by the images in mine. So it must be in an XML somewhere but I don't know about them yet.

hmm. any time i've tried replacing an xml file systemui stops working.

It doesn't come back after a reboot?

I gave up on falcon galaxy. It had a lot of bugs and trying to theme kept ending up messsing things up. I went back to HoneyVillain 1.2. I tried doing a Hue shift on all the status bar icons so that they'd be red instead of blue. It worked except that the popup that shows up when you tap the clock was all messed up. I'm not sure if it saved wrong or what but I suppose I can try again later.

Try my SystemUI Editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289357
It lets you edit the SystemUI.apk file.
Although it's very limited at present, it lets you edit the navigation buttons on the status bar.
I'll continue adding to it.

Themes?

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've got nothing that says theme anywhere I assume it would be. Checked Home Settings and Menu on the Home Screen. Nothing. I'm really bummed about that. I wanted to change the app drawer button so badly. Damn.
Edit: going to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447311
[MOD] LG Home [AT&T][Verizon][International]
Edit 2: Some things changed, like the blank screen text, but others didn't like the ability to theme. Weird. Maybe that isn't ready for the at&t version of that mod.

Pretty sure I found the apk, I'll provide a link in a few minutes. Let me know if I'm wrong about this so I can delete this.

Never done this before, its my Dropbox public folder I assume its shared. File is uploading slow should be about two more minutes if anyone is awake lol.
In this other thread a guy created a mod that does a bunch of things including giving you the themer, here is the link if you want to try that.

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.

How did you get those themes to show up?
Thank you

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?

[q] tablet ui for t210/r/211

Hello, everyone！
I like tablet ui very much.
I like small dpi ,( such as120), I think it's comfotable for me.
There are two ways to get tablet ui.
First ,you can use xposed and app settings .But it's boring to set every app to dpi120.
Second,you can use R.E. to edit build.prop .There are two places to edit ,edit them all
I know the tw launcher will die after that. So I delete it.
When I making calls , the sceen become black.
But two different ways come to different results.
Using xposed I get a small status bar at the top. All the bar seems right.
Using R.E. I get a big status bar at the bottom. The color of the bar is white, I don't like it. I think it should be transparent or black. And the virtual keys are repeated.（we already have them）
I never get a comfotable Tablet UI so far.
I have tried to edit systemUI.apk all day, but it failed. I am not good at this.
I also tried to use xblast to change the color of the status bar, nothing changed.
Could someone make such a Mod for us？Big thanks to you！！！

I got tablet ui by using phab7 from xposed modules but the navigation bar is white wich is so ugly
