I dont know if theres one like this i havent found one if you know of one please tell me
Here it is: the app will open up an apk like ninjamoph does but instead of having to go through manually and select the pngs and change colors in another progam then load them through ninjamorph this app would scan the apk for the png you would nomaly select to theme and present them to you with the option to change the colors, after you set it up the way you want it could replace the png with the ones you changed and put it together for you to install over the original apk
The reason this is just an idea is because i cant make apps ive tried to but the process dosent stick to my brain please if your a developer tell me if this apk is possible

While This maybe an option it is not the best option. Trying to edit a system apk while it is being used is asking for it to be corrupted and causing issues. This is the main reason that seemingly random issues popup with CM themes.
Well what if it made a copy of the apk to edit that way the actual app whether it be system or user would not be affected during the editing process that would also make it easier to share the app

would like to change the background of my roted Note 3 SM-9005 (settings, phone, sms, etc)
from
- Black Background with white fonts
to
- White or light Background with Black fonts
In doing so I have played with Xposed and Xbackground module, but I only was able to change background, NOT fonts.
Can somebody else share his experience?
Thank you
Saulo
I am willing to use a light themed ROM instead of my current one, but I found none
And yes, I do NOT care if the white background drains the battery: better short battery than unusable device (at least for my aging eyes...)
Thank you for any suggestions

I found this:

But it works only partially: there are NO apps or mods available to exploit Xposed in order to achieve the revert of the colors.

I would even pay someone to code those lines into an app:

First download framework-res.apk from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aaxgspj95aqj9nf
1. open the framework.apk with 7zip
2. Navigate to res/drawable-nodpi
3. Delete the file named background_holo_dark.png. it should be the very first one
4. Now choose any image and resize it to 512x512 using a photo editing software
5. Rename the chosen picture to background_holo_dark.png
6. Place it in res/drawable-nodpi
7. Now close 7zip and place the framework.apk onto your sd card
8. Now using root explorer copy the framework.apk into system/framework. ( remeber to delete the old framework.apk from the framework folder)
9. Change its permissions to rw--r--r
10. Reboot your phone
Thank you

I don't spend lots of time at the computer, so I like to find ways to do as much as possible on the phone. One thing I've found is that every theme I try has at least one element I wish I could change, as much as I like it overall. I don't know enough to make my own theme, but I found a way to change elements of the theme without using a computer. I'm sure this is not news to many of you, but I figured there might be other non-experts like me out there who might appreciate it.
1. Download Apktool apk file below, install it, open it, {it will automatically update on the first use for some reason}, go to settings and check 'device has root', {leave other settings alone}, then close the app, reopen and grant su access.
2. Make a directory in storage somewhere called 'apktool', {or something}, and copy the following to it: /system/framework/framework-res.apk, /system/framework/SemcGenericUxpRes/SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, and whatever themes you want to mix and match.
3. Open apktool app, navigate to apktool directory, and import the framework files by tapping on each one and selecting 'import as framework'. When done, you can then tap on the theme apk files and select 'decompile all', and they will be decompiled into folders called {appname}-src. Go into the folders with a root explorer and change what you want, then go back to apktool, and tap on the folder you want and choose 'recompile'. When recompile is done you end up with an apk called '{appname}-src.apk'. Tap on that and choose 'sign'. When done you will get an apk called '{appname}-src-sign.apk, which you can install normally.
-Notes, questions-
- I'm currently using Z1c stock .236 deodexed rom. This app should work on other phones, roms, versions, etc, but I can't say for sure. What I know is that there are at least 5 versions of the app out there, {Google search for 'apktool 4.4' or '5.2', etc}, and it seems like each one works better on certain versions of Android. There are also configurable settings. If you have a different phone or rom, etc, you just have to mess around with it.
- This app should work as normal apktool for modding systemUI and framework, but I can't get it to recompile on LP, but only on Kk. Decompile works fine, but on recompile it complains about lacking resources. I don't know what file it wants. If someone can figure it out that would be great.
-If you don't know what files to change, all I can say is that I didn't either. Start with the obvious stuff, like navbar keys, and see how brave you get. Just make sure your file names are changed, since every app doesn't use the same names for the same files. As long as you work with copied files you have nothing to lose. If something is wrong with your modifications, then it won't recompile correctly, and you'll just get an error message, so you can't really install something that's going to mess up your phone.
- This also works for changing appearance of other apps, not just themes. See my recent posts in the Naked Browser thread for examples. However, sometimes it won't be able to decompile an app, and there's probably nothing you can do. I think the way apktool works is based on how the app was created. If something is not compatible, it just won't work.
- You don't have to decompile just to pull files out of an apk, but you do need an app that can do it. I use Rom Toolbox Pro. There may be free ones, {maybe Mixplorer}. I think you can just change the extension to zip and extract normally. However, some files and folders are not the same zipped in the apk as they are when decompiled.

Since sharing themes with others' work is not kosher, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/share-frankentheme-t3282360), I figured I'd add a little more here for anyone's personal use. In general, here's what I've found with these themes:
- Within each apk there is an 'assets' folder, which contains zip files. Each zip file mods a certain aspect of the ui. For example, there will be one for settings, which contains the little pictures next to each settings option, (personalization, with the little rainbow, etc). You can experiment with simply swapping these around with different themes. However, if you want to add a settings zip, for example, to a theme base that does not already have a settings zip in it, you have to mod the main android manifest file in the top level of the apk. If you want to see how it needs to be modded, look at one that has it already. It's pretty obvious, since it's the same entry for each zip, but with the corresponding zip name. You can also extract these zips and replace files in them and rezip. Keep in mind, though, that there are some things that aren't that simple and just won't work.
- There are some things that are coded in, and can't be changed, (as far as I can figure out), like accent color. It seems like accent color just comes with the 'android' zip, and there's nothing you can do about it. As a workaround, you can find an 'android' zip with a color you like, and change out the other files from the zip you wish you could change the accent on. Again, sometimes it just won't work and you won't know why.
- Some themes don't follow this pattern at all. I haven't learned much about them yet.

Hello
I've tested quite a few roms and found a feature I live very much, it's called dynamic navbar - however I've found a Rom that I absolutely love and it's pure nexus, as much as I love it there is a huge downside for me and that's the lack of dynamic navbar.
I have seen a app on play store called "navbar apps" but u don't like it, and I've seen that you can extract the framework and edit via a pc. But is there a way to enable dynamic navbar on PN without those two options? Preferably via the phone.
Thanks

Hello... Either use the mentioned app or do the changes in your framework. But you'll likely have to do it for every updates as the developer often makes change in the framework. Maybe you could maybe kindly make a request to the developer?!
Good luck...

Just follow this 2 guides...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-dynamic-nav-bar-android-l-m-n-t3515080

Basically you have to edit the framework-res.apk, obviously you have to be rooted, install the requirements on the second link, here I'll summarize the steps I follow, but if you have any doubt read and follow the 2 guides, the second one to decompile and compile the apk and the first one indicates the lines you have to change and the files in which you find them.
List of tools that we need
1. JDK, download it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...sp-138363.html
2. Apktool, download it here https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/
3. Root Explorer
4. Text Editor
STEP 1 - Get the firmware-res.apk
First you need your own device firmware-res.apk, it is located here \Root\System\framework\
STEP 2 - Copy firmware-res.apk to the same folder with Apktool.jar
I recommend locate it on folder easy to located like desktop folder
STEP 3 - Decompile firmware-res.apk
Open CMD on your folder (on windows use [shift + right click -> open command window here]) that firmware-res.apk and Apktool.jar located and run this command
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk
STEP 4 - Open styles.xml and change values
Navigate to res, values, and open styles.xml with your text editor of choice (located at \framework-res\res\values\styles.xml)
Search for "navigationBar". There will be three instances of it. You only have to change the last two. Change "@colorBlack" to "?colorPrimaryDark" and save your changes
STEP 6 - Open colors.xml and change values
Navigate to res, values, and open colors.xml with your text editor of choice (located at \framework-res\res\values\colors.xml)
Open colors.xml and search for "input_method_navigation_guard". Change "ff000000" to "00000000" and save the file. If you don't change this, the navigation bar will turn black when you open the keyboard
STEP 7 - Compile your framework-res.apk
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res -c
STEP 8 - Replace old firmware-res.apk with the new one
Copy your new compiled firmware-res.apk in framework-res\dist to your Android Device \Root\System\framework\. It is recommended to backup the default framework.res-apk first
Note: It is recommended to copy it from recovery, but you can also copy it directy via root explorer but your device will restart instantly
I do not take credit for this guide, do thank the op's if you find it useful.
Also is not perfect as a custom integration but it's something.
I have a problem using the PPSSPP emulator, some games require 3 or more ring tones, and my smartphone (Gran Prime Duos), it only has two ring tones at the same time. I already researched and the only thing I found about it was a build.prop file which should contain the ro.product.max_num_touch option, but the same one is not in the file, I thought I would put it next to ro.product.multi_touch_enabled = true , but when trying to save the file, I found an error, then I looked for another file explorer, I found the root explorer, my smartphone does not have root until then, after doing the root I opened the explorer and I found that the file was read only . So I'm here.
Since the file did not have the variables. Can I put them on? Would that solve my problem?
If this solves even my problems, how could I do this
