Regarding the message bubble design you requested. In order tho have light text on a dark bubble requires decompiling/recompiling the Whattsapp apk and editing the xmls to change the text color. I have tried that in the past, but with little success .. as Whattsapp doestnt seem to be able to recompile properly with the conventional decompiling methods. That is why you will see most mods have only black text on lighter bubbles. Not so easy to do an inverse design.

@Yorzua
I am well aware of how to decompile and recompile apks.
The issue is with the Whattsapp apk recompiling after editing the Styles.xml within the res values folder. As many themers have found, there is an issue with recompiling WhatsApp apk after performing such edits. No one seems as yet able to successfully recompile the apk and alter the message bubble text color. You are doing well if you can change the text to inverse using ApkTool.
I myself prefer APK Manager than ApkTool as its command line structure is much better laid out and has more options.

@ Youzua
Are you able to change the black bubble text to white (within the speech bubbles)....?
The trouble lays in that part of the modifications.
I have yet to see anyone successfully recompile the Whatsapp.apk (myself included) and have the changes (black text to white) actually work after finalization.
Many have tried editing both the Style.xml and Color.xml.. but the it just don't take after recompiling. The person who cracks this is going to make everyone happy.

My answer :
Wasnt you happy when i was posting all my posts off topic from the theming of your themes ?
Did i help you or i just imagine your words below ?
Without my help, you would never be able to go deeper in your own theming which comes now to a real development via xmls and smalis !
I wanted sincerely to help you but hey, like you said, you seem to be more proud or ashame for that... i still remember how you posted in my threads with rage and crap **** ...
dont count on me ever to help you and wrong if you think that we dont need help from someone else... ​

If you come by my thread and like my work, i ask nothing more than a little thanks for the effort.
If you dont, then just give me credits if you use it.

Thanks for the feedback, working for me and reported by others as working too.
Download and place the zip into your sd card
Uninstall your existing whatsapp app
Use Rootexplorer to drag the app into /data/app or /system/app
Set permissions to all by long press on the app to pop up the menu
reboot the phone and you will see your whatsapp application installed in the grid.
Do you still have place on /system ( internal memory ) ?
Do you have already a whatsapp apk in /data/app ? If yes, it will overwrite the one of /system.
Did you move the app to sd ? ( a2sd scripts or whatever )

I very want the themes on yor site. Why you not putting them here?

hi,trettet thanks for sharing this wonderful tool..
IMHO this is by far the easiest tool to decompile & compile apk
It would be handy if you can implement the following features also:
*Batch Sign
*Batch Zip-align
*Batch Install Apk
*Batch Rename
By implementing these features,this would an complete tool dealing anything related to apk..."One tool to rule them all"

So, do I just copy that file, and place it in the same directory for the app that I want it to build?
Basically, what I've done is decompiled an app, edited a few text files within it (I couldn't get edits to stick simply within root browser) and now I want to build the app. The instructions say to just drag & drop the path into the manager and click "Start Building."
But with, or without the framework-res.apk from the phone, it just says "Smaling" for about ten seconds, then runs more script and closes before I can read any of it. But nothing shows up in the result folder...

[APP] BuildProp Editor/Viewer - community project [1.33] - for android [1.6 - 4.0.3]

XDA-community!
NEWS: The app is open source: https://github.com/daOwl/build.prop-editor
I want to share my latest application with you: BuildProp Editor
root and busybox required​
What is this tool used for?
This tool allows you to modify your build.prop file easily on your device. It makes editing easy and you don't have to take care about remounting stuff or read/write permissions. It also features descriptions which contain information about the property. A great tool for both: beginners and advanced users. It can be used to test a variety of properties on your device or even tweak it, but be warned: You've to know what you're doing! If the phone doesn't boot after a reboot, the initial backup of your device can be found at: /data/data/de.bwulfert.buildpropedit/build.prop
Why do you call it a community project?
Because I need your help. I want to create a documentation which contains every property and every meaning used by the android ecosystem. This is also my first real android project so instead of yelling the hell out of me, post some constructive feedback .
Descriptors / the motivation for developing this app / little details
I've created this application because, obviously, I want to edit my build.prop file in a easy, non adb push / maybe remount, way. So I've decided to create this application which does these steps for you (remounting, backup your file, etc.) - you just have to download & install it, getting prompt to create a backup of your current build.prop file (it's just button clicking, nothing else) and you are good to go son! Hint: You actually have to create an initial backup otherwise the application closes it self. I'll add a neat "view" or "read" mode later but for the security of all our phones I think its the best deal for now.
After working on it for a while I noticed the big range of properties a build.prop file could contain - and which my knowledge doesn't. So I decided to create these descriptors which consists of:
description - meaning of the property, what is it used for
recommended values - alpha numerical values - e.g.: 0,1 or 180, 190, 200, 210 or dd-mm-yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy
keyboard layouts - textual values - e.g.: NumBlock, CharacterInput or FileDialog (the FileDialog isn't implementet yet)
An example of an existing descriptor:
Code:
<PropertyDescription>
<KeyName>ro.com.android.dataroaming</KeyName>
<Description>Enables data-roaming by default in the build.</Description>
<KeyboardLayout>CharacterInput</KeyboardLayout>
<Values>
<Default>true</Default>
<Value>false</Value>
<Value>true</Value>
</Values>
</PropertyDescription>
Of course I'm not able to describe all the properties by myself so I've spend some time searching on the net and came up with an amount of 24 descriptions. This isn't that much but a good start. Thats the point where I need help from anybody who's interested: If you want to contribute to this little project, you can contact me and sending me your descriptors (which are just plain-text xml files) - I'll merge them into the project. You can also help by translate this application into your language (english is still welcome, I am german) or donate a small amount.

TODO
This project isn't finished in detail. Everything should work exquisit and fine but this are the steps I'm still thinking about:
Batchmode - adding little text snippets which consists of properties to your build.prop file. (Great for lazy people like me)
A (web) application to make it easier to contribute descriptions
Preferences - I got a lot of feedback for these, I'll add these in the next update

Hi there, I was hoping could trying your app.
First time I run your app, it asked permission and of course i allowed it.
But your app show this message
"No root access is given!...."
that's strange cause my X10 using Wolfbreak with prerooted. And app like Titanium, ScreenshotER, etc works perfectly.
Maybe you can help me what should I do?

Hey xda!
Today I've released the new version of my tool. The update contains a complete UI redesign in a lite/silver grey style. I've also worked on the ShellCommunication to increase the compatibility with other roms (works well on cm7 and MIUI).

Hello XDA,
another great Update of my build.prop editor. Thats the biggest update for now and I think, that this app isn't in beta anymore.
Version 1.2
Added viewmode (for unrooted phones)
Added HC and ICS compatibility
Added an introduction
Increased usability
Fixed some typos
Screenshots
My next step will be a batchmode. You can create a single text file which includes properties. These files can be integrated into the build.prop file. This allows to share stacks of properties for example helping somebody with a problematic build.prop. This also allows to share sets of tweaks for users, without to overwrite their own file. It should be selectable which property is going to be overwritten and which not.

Thank you sir! I've still got a bit to do but it's pretty functional and tested for now.
I also want everybody on the board here to ask if someone wants to create a proper icon for this app? I'm not really great on this (simple icons are okay but proper stuff is not my job). So, if somebody is interested, please contact me. The one who'll design an pretty icon for me gets marked in the credits

This tool looks awesome. Can't wait to see it get developed more.

oh yeah nice tool rated and thanked!

[TOOL] Remote Theme Injector - theme your favorite paid apk

Themers on XDA face a huge problem when it comes to paid apks. They can't theme apks and distribute their work since that would be considered warez.
Since we - the moderators - spend a lot of time closing threads where someone accidentially published such a theme, Forum Moderator Whiskey103 came up with an idea.
What if the themer doesn't distribute the entire apk, but only his themed parts? This would be totally allowed on XDA.
So Whiskey asked me if I can come up with a solution to this problem. And today we announce RTI - The remote theme injector!
Note: while this project is intended for paid apks, it still works with free apks too of course. This app might help you migrating themes to a new version of the apks too.
RTI basically consists of two parts:
The patcher (or themer)
And the editor which is needed to create themes
Patcher
This is a little windows app which takes the target apk and a theme file (more on that later) and automatically injects the theme into the desired apk.
Todo this, the apk gets decompiled, patched, recompiled, signed and zipaligned. All this happens automatically and requires no input from the user (which is in this case the user who wants to USE the theme)
The user has to provide the target apk on his own, this ensures no apks are distributed as part of the theme.
It can be pulled via ADB or Rootexplorer from the phone for example.
Editor
The first app was for applying a theme, the editor is for creating such themes.
It's a simple wizard style app which guides the themer through the required steps to create a theme file.
Each theme file contains not only the actually themed files but also its own version of apktool to ensure maximum compatibility and a set of settings specifically for the target apk
The settings include:
Package name of the target apk
Version number of the target apk
Which sign method to use (keep old signature, sign with a default key, sign with own key)
Whether the apk gets zipaligned or not
The workflow for the user is very easy:
Download theme (it contains the patcher and the theme file (or even multiple themes)
Fetch target apk from phone and copy it in the same directory as the patcher
Start patcher and wait until it's done
Install themed apk on device
The workflow for the themer isn't much harder:
Theme your apk just as you are used to it
provide TWO folders to the Editor, both folders need to contain the decompiled output of apktool
The first folder contains the unthemed, decompiled apk, the second one contains the themed and decompiled apk
Set the required settings in the editor and wait until generating the theme is done
Provide the user a download which contains the patcher and your created theme file

Changelog
2.12.1.5665
Added support for smali modification for advanced themes
Some bug fixes and UI improvements
1.9.5.191
Important: This version brings some breaking changes, so please do not mix an old rti file with the new patcher. It won't work. You have to recreate your theme files if you want to use the new patcher.
Changed signing options. Removed java jarsign and added signapk.jar instead. This has a far better compatibility and doesn't require an installed Visual C++ runtime.
Possible signing options now:
Use 'test keys': Use a pre defined set of keys from me to sign the apk
Use 'own keys': you have to provide your own set of keys (key.pk8 and certificate.pem) to sign the apk
Keep old signature: NOT recommend, this has a few use cases, but usually won't work. Use one of the other two options if you are not sure.
Improved error detection on the folder selection page. It can tell you some common errors now if you make them.

My girlfriend for tolerating my work on XDA
My dog for keeping me happy

I will write a guide here, for now just screenshots and a little explanation on how to use the "Patcher"
We will do our best to answer the questions about how to use and all that
Basically i came up with the idea because of the fact we have to delete a lot of themed paid apps.
Thats not nice since i know there is much time spend on it.
So now we have a solution for all the themed Swype apk,s etc etc
I really felt sorry sometimes after i had to remove some masterpiece because it was "warez"
If we start to use this, its all fine
BIG Thanks to Diamond who really liked the project from the beginning, without him this wasn't even possible.
He really was enthusiast from the moment i contacted him till where we are now.
Once again, thanks Diamond
The patcher:
You have to download a patcher theme (XDA Premium App example) my thread for screenshots
Extract that folder and grab the installed apk from your phone with Rootexplorer or ES File Explorer.
Place that apk in the extracted theme folder and run the RemoteThemeInjector.exe
In this case the RTI (Remote Theme Injector) will give you a list since i placed two themes in one folder. Just make your choice.
The patcher will do his job and spit out a Themed APK.
Copy that Themed APK to your phone (SD-Card) and install it after you removed your previous installed version of the App.
Once the apk is installed , goto menu / more / settings / Display Style / and select XDA Free.

Thanks for the tools.

Thanks Diamondback and Whiskey

This is an outstanding idea. Many thanks to Whiskey and Diamondback for the hard work, and for finding a creative solution to further customize our experiences without risking warez.
It's great to see xda members and mods maintaining such a balance and protecting the interests of both the devs and users simultaneously. Well done.

Cheers for this!

Thanks for the files!

Thanks for the great feedback
One thing I'd like to ask for: If you are a themer and created a theme with this app, can you please post a link here so we can see waht awesome work done?
If you want I can also add you to the "example themes" section in the OP.

Is this just creating bsdiff patches or something similar? Or is it more tantamount to resource hacking?

Do the apps HAVE to be paid?

There's no black magic or so involved, I just take every modified file and copy it over the original one. Nothing complicated

Just added this to whiskey103's thread. . Awesomeness!

This looks like a wonderful tool that night save me as I'm having trouble with apktool with a lollipop 5.1 framework. However is there a Mac osx version? I know this thread is for windows but the pic above has Mac theme. I have searched but not found one.
Thanks.
