I found EMUI themes on the internet which changed the design of various third party apps like f.e. WhatsApp. So I know, I could just take the theme, and edit the com.whatsapp file in it, but there are not all design elements of the app included. So my question: How can I find out the name of every design element and file name to change the design of every part of each app?
This is huge process i think
I'd just need the name of the elements for this xml file and the rest of the file structure where the media files for icons are (with their name). How could other people do it then? Isn't there a way to easily find that out? ?
I guess you have to decompile the apps in question and look at their source code for the correct names for elements. Probably a bit time consuming process yes. But that's probably how they all do it.
Thanks, I decompiled WhatsApp.apk and am now trying to understand how this whole thing works... I still don't understand everything especially because of the theme.xml file which obviously only exists in the theme, but not in the decompiled WhatsApp.apk. But I'm going to try to find out everything by try and error

Hmm there isn't explained how editing of any app works, only some app icons, wallpaper and lockscreen.

Does anyone know how to edit the chat bubbles in Whatsapp using the EMUI themes? I already tried to enter another color inside the theme.xml:
<color name="bubble_color_outgoing">#ffd29bd7</color>
And I also tried to edit those files (see attachment) inside /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/, /res/drawable-xhdpi-v4/ and /res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4/.
Nothing changed. Is the EMUI theming engine unable to edit those chat bubbles or is there another file that I missed?

I like customize rom in my way. i changed app icons but now i want to change app names. please someone guide me for this which file to be edited.
Try APK Edit
With this tool you can change every text that appears in that app and even add new languages...
For me it was also quite useful and it's not very complicated. Only open the APK (You must have the apk on your computer) and edit it

Hi devs,
I want to remove recent apps from the status bar.
The SystemUI.apk is from Hintay's HTX Mod 0.59.1|Android 2.3.3
I browsed all the forum and tried all these methods but didn't work on 2.3.3.
The methods I tried as below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018818
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225558
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15417961&postcount=107
I upload the SystemUI.apk and hope devs would be kind to teach me or help me to remove recent apps from the status bar.
Great thanks to you all !
Much appreciated !
There are two ways, one easy and one hard. In the hard one you kind of remove all the functionality of the recent apps section. In the easy one you just adjust the height to 0, so It's not visible. I only know the easy one do you know how to decompile apps? If not take a look in my guide ;-)
Then you can probably just do as the guides says or something. I haven't seen through them yet ;-) else go to res/ layout/ status bar expanded and find the line which includes recent apps or something similar. Change layout_height to 0.0dp ;-)
Edit: took a look at the guides. They are a bit more work, but you should use one of them instead, as they remove the whole thing so it will probably improve performance a bit more

Thank you Habarug!
The purpose i want to remove the recent apps is just as you said it will improve performance when pulling down the notification bar.
So only adjusting the height to 0 may not improve the performance and reduce the laggy. Just my guess.
I've tried these guides but don't work..
But when you tried the guides, did you decompile the systemui or did you just open it with 7zip or smthing? You cannot change any xmls or smalis or stuff like that unless you decompile it
yes, i use apktool to decompile the SystemUI.apk and Notepad++Portable to edit.
who can answer...
another and easiest way is just replace system.ui from SalsaSense 4.0
http://jieehd.qap.la/options/HtcSalsaStatusBar.zip
Thank you! Good idea!
but my purpose is to learn the methods, just be curious and interested in these things
It seems that just editing the status_bar.xml as I explained above might help a bit on the performance I have no idea about the smali edits, I cannot change smalis without guide

right, it's slow. but when i delete some apks such as htc hub, htc likes etc. and then add some scripts (06loopy_smoothness_tweak, 13KickAssKernel, 15cleanup_init_ram, 17speedy_modified, 30memtweak) from [ROM][2.3.5] Zero Hero Sense 3.5 RC 2.5 [Mar. 2, 2012] and also enable swap.
after that you will find this rom is really fast!

I don't know but you want to use a framework-res.apk from a Samsung Note? You do understand not only that framework-res.apk is for another device, its for a modded framework of a rom for another device. Unless you want to crack open the apk and look at the code/images but even the images wouldn't work I think. Update.zip won't help you, needs to be properly ported.
Cheers

I am no themer or dev. So I don't know. I've never really looked much in to the xml files in the apk either so I wouldn't know. Everything can be ported with enough knowledge, patience and time

hey everyone i would like to know how can i change the name of a theme? ive editing the monshine theme but i would like to change the name as i would like to create more than one so i could easily swap between them in the theme section without having to install them when i want to swap
Decompile the theme APK then go to /res/xml/theme_resources.xml then look for ,Label value="theme name". Try that.
You will have to change the package name in the manifest. There may be other places too...

You may have to change some files in the smali folder. Take 2 themes and compare them to see what's different. A program like Diffmerge is useful for that.
Hi Peeps,
I want to change a specific icon of an app, and I want the changes to take effect on homescreen and app drawer. Ive searched for solution but what I found is just to use an app (which just create a shortcut on homescreen) and/or a launcher.
I want it to have on default TW.
Btw, I am rooted on Nougat.
Cheers!
as far as I know you can use themes / icons or you would have to decompile the apk and change the icons in the mipmap folders
