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...

Not looking at it right now but maybe in res>values>public.xml *edit- should be strings.xml
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.

i did some searching for you and found this. such code language is greek to me as im not too good with coding jargon. hope it helps you:
Q- I want to be able to change the background color to white in my android app in the simplest way possible
A- You need to use the android:background property , eg
android:background="@color/white"
Also you need to you need to add a value for white in the strings.xml
<color name="white">#FFFFFF</color>
A2- You can also use
android:background="#ffffff"
in your xml layout, or you can change the theme in your AndroidManifest.xml by adding
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light"
to your activity tag.
If you want to change the background dynamically, use
YourView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255))
hope this helps

oh..there isn't any good news now at this moment.
on the one hand, I can't decompile the "conversation.apk" individually,
(the error just like : "Could not decode attr value, using undecoded value instead")
on the other hand, the "framework-res.apk"&"blur-res.apk" can be decompiled correctly, but I edit some xml about colors, and my device can't boot with the replacement.
I have to recovery it now..and waiting for help!!

check through the threads on this forum and see if anybody has posted a similar question as yours and if they have a solution. my bet is somebody has.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565
EDIT: after looking around a bit, most people on other forums recommend for you just to use handcent. apparently its the simplest fix without you having to tweak around much a lot. they just recommend for you to disable the stock message notification so that you wont get 2 notifications on your notification bar. perhaps you'd wanna give it another go? besides, apparently handcent supports upto 5mb of storage as opposed to the standard 2mb on the stock messaging app

I got why I can't decompile Conversations.apk..
This man said in his thread:
"
I am trying to decompile Conversations.APK from /system/app with APKTool
I am using framework-res.apk, blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk as the framework.
It was successfuly decompiled.
"
I knew this before, but I don't know how to use them as the framework..
maybe I gonna ask him for details...to decompile my conversations

LATEST:
I decompilied conversation.apk successfully,
the code in "\res\values\drawables.xml" is:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="white_background">#ffffffff</item>
I changed #ffffffff to #00000000 and saved it .
But it doesn't work...nothing happened with my TextMessaging!
I think I should have a try on framework-res.apk or blur-res.apk.
Black is #ff000000

Well, I guess it is what you wanted, I forgot how the stock mms looked like. Test.
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

Thanks, it worked
please how to mod a status bar in esiest way
while i have tried using app manager he is asking for adb what is adb
i have installed adb drivers but no response please do yhe needfull
Try uot kitchen, very easy.
Here the site -> http://uot.dakra.lt/
Click kitchen and mod everything you want. Go to the tab that you can upload your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk. Go to summary and submit your work. Click pickup and wait you file appears. Install through recovery. Done.
ADB means Android Debug Bridge. If you're using apk multi-tool or apk manager, it asks for adb. It's very confusing and you may have to set the PATH variable, maybe download the SDK and all that. Use Apktool. I use it all the time for decompiling apks and it's the best for me. You can find the links to download it and the guide here.

U have to replace icons,with original..and the resolution and format should be same..
Example: If the original icon resolution is 48x48 then u should change ur image resolution to 48x48 or near like 52x52 not 200x200 and if the original icon is like Wifi_on.PNG then u have to rename your icon in wifi_on.PNG and then just replace... clear???

First you need to decide what exactly it is you want to do
Next type into google what it is you want to do and add xda on the end (you can add galaxy y on the end too if you want to search galaxy y threads) - eg how to add brightness slider xda galaxy y

then look in the framework - probably in styles.xml
you can try <item name="listPreferredItemHeight">64.0dip</item>
I presume thats the gap between items in a list/the height of each item

most likely will require smali change as the smali will probably refer to a public value for the png or it could be a case of it just being refered as a drawable value in a drawable/layout xml - again you will have to look
without knowledge or understanding of what you are looking at it will be very hard for you to do - sorry
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

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?
