Problems while porting a theme!!! [Please Read] - Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps

Hey,
I have a big problem. I have edited the framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk. The theme looks good, but I have the problem, that now I can't open messages and a few other apps. Does someone know how to fix that?

Editing those shouldn't affect other apps..
That may be caused by some other changes you did with your phone.

even i had the same problem...couldn't open messages,settings and many more...may be its only the the inproper resizing or something to do with .9pngs

Regarding .9.png files, i found it would be best to use Photoshop or gimp, open the extracted file and the decompiled file do the resizing on the extracted file and draw the .9patch with the pencil tool (shift helps to draw a line) similar as in the decompiled one. Because i heard draw9patch is a little hard to use. Hope this helps...

activty_title_bar.png is not the problem. I've changed it multiple times before.

One thing is that if you don't use the (tw)framework-res.apk from the specific ROM you are using, force closes are eminent.

[Q] CyanogenMod v4.5.7 Change Avatar

Hello all,
Sorry for posting this here
(And not in the forum for my custom ROM but i will have to spam 6 more messages to get to my minimum of 10 before I can do that)
Anyway, the default avatar in the contacts is boring...i would much more prefer an avatar like mine on the left.
After searching the forums I am not too hopeful that this could be done but if anyone can shed any light on it please let me know..
Many thanks in advance
You've to modify the contact.apk if i'm not wrong
Cheers. I have just had to go through all my contacts without a pic and assign them the avatar I wanted. There should be an easier way....surely

Well you have to open contacts.apk with 7zip or winrar then go to this directory: res/drawable-hdpi-finger/, in this folder you will find; ic_contact_list_picture.png, ic_contact_picture.png, ic_contact_list_picture_2.png, and ic_contact_list_picture_3.png
Just replace these four files with any picture you like. Just remember to use .png files and make them the exact same size as the original files
after you finished just replace everything that you have modified in your .apk file
then you may flash it using xRecovery
...in case you dont know how to do this...
Youre using Wolfbreak's rom, right?
Just go to the file "CMUpdate 4.5.7.zip" open it
go to: system\app\
place the "contacts.apk" that you have just modified here, and delete all the rest apk files in there
then flash it
hope this helps =]

When you say the same size do you mean the same height and width or the same file size?

[Q] How do I get the switch input method notification to show?

I installed HaSa MiUI 3.1.11 on top of the Lupus kernel which is my first ICS rom, and I was wondering how to quickly change the input method without going into settings. Long pressing the input box does not bring up a menu anymore but I read that in ICS it was switched to show up in the notification menu, however it isn't showing up. Is there a way to change this in the settings so the notification shows, or is it the Rom I installed?
Thanks
Well it was annoying for some ppl I removed it....
U can long press and select input method

You can enable it by decompile framework-res.apk. Look at values/bool. But i forgot what it name :sly:

hey bro, this thread is for xperia 2011 device line so we cant help u really (no experience with xioamis)...
probably they deleted/or send it to other place due to heavy modified MIUI. there are some apps on playstore waht doing this what u want.
if still not happy u will have to search thru the apk's especially in values folder & etc to find if that string is still present somewhere else. but i think they rmoved it
