[Q] Change settings menu - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
how can I theme the settings menu?
Change color, change images and group settings like they are grouped in MIUI.
Want to make with Stock ROM this menu: http://www.techcredo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/miui-settings-ui-overhaul.jpg
Instead of this ugly one: http://mydailygadget.mdg.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/settings1-300x500.jpg
What things I have to change or look at?
framework-res.apk...?

Which phone do you have dude??? And yeah if u have rooted then flash a miui rom instead of theming stock.... It's actually impossible to do this to a stock rom but because of the settings. Try the miui if u have rooted.
Hit the Thanks Button if I have helped.

Thx for the reply.
Yeah, MIUI is nice but I wanted to try CM7 and I liked everything but the UI of the settings.
I know it's possible to change the appearance of the settings menu. I found the xml files in the framework-res.apk but when I recompile and use the new file my phone ends up in a bootloop.
Can anyone help?
I have a SG S2.

sorry fixed now
Thanks for your answer.
=> it's OK for the clock.
=> KO for the operator (in black).
Why the buttons "Clear" and "Ongoing" are in English ? my ROM is French.
Thanks in advance

yes but yor rom must be a deodexed one.
How do I install this? metamorph ?
Bihariel, can you try updating european version or say me what are the changes it includes? (services.jar)
Thanks
Hi!
Great Thanks for your Theme, it really looks nice and works fine for me.
Im running 2.34 Rom with deodexed and Jit Files right like the guide of Sorensiim.
I only have a few questions and small issues now...
Is it possible to merge this framework with another one, id take the original european one, so there will be more regions chooseable, especially Germany.
What files do i have to replace in the original 2.34 euro framework-res?
only the drawable folders? color folder?
The 2nd issue i have is the display style of the service provider name....in your screenshot its quite big and bright white, mine is small and grey...as you can see at my attached screenshot.
Everything else works fine, also the white text that shows up e.g. when installing something.
Ill attach the euro framework-res, as you can see its a lot bigger than yours, i think thats the missing region support. Perhaps anyone else also wants to try merging these two.
Update:
My tries to merge the two frameworks didnt really have great success...
I always copied the files from the sense framework into the original framework using winrar.
It always worked, but not everything was as it should be:
on the first try i only replaced the folders up to the last drawable one.....
The result was black text instead of white in the notification bar.
2nd try was to copy and replace everything except the resources.arsc
The Result was white text in the notification but the menu test when pressing the menu softkey on the homescreen now was black on black.
The display of the service provider as shown in the screenshot never changed.
If any1 has another idea, let me know....
Until then, ill live without having the german region and some minimal rests of english interface.
Hi Bihariel, can you tell me if its possible to uninstall this theme?. Or can I make a backup of current theme and then apply yours?

yes, you should backup framework-res.apk and services.jar from the folder framework using root explorer.

nice theme bro
keep the good work
i actually prefer blur to sense. blur still seems like its android where with sense it seems to loose that i think
My network signal is still black and so operator name. If there's a way to fix it?
Language is English, but locale set to russian, if this matters.
I installed it via recovery and got a reboot(???) on 1st boot, but now it works ok... gotta reboor it one more time for a check )) framework-res.apk
On a stock there is 5 sticks, and here is 4, when the signal is maximum, it is black. Would you fixed it?
And it is use many power. in powertutor without - 50m, with 1100m
My fimware is 2.34 official
good job nice looking
Working on Chinese froyo ?
Hi,
I prefer the sense jog things and unicolor notification icons over the default ones, however i really dislike the gradient bar. So i have slighlty modified the op's theme: I've put a few icons from gingerbread and fixed the black signal icon issue. The notification bar has also been changed (provider name is now readable).
To install, please first flash signed_sense_defy_fixed (see first post), then push the attached framework-res.apk to /system/framework using adb.
Edit: it seems like every time i update framework-res, the android market FC on me. To fix this issue, just clear market cache and then uninstall the app update (it will be reinstalled automatically from what i can see).

Is it possible if i copy framework-res.apk from stock rom with root explorer????
Sorry,I don't have one.
I'm not a developer so i can't tell you if its possible with copying framework-res.apk
Using a 2.1 framework-res.apk would cause all kinds of problems, including stopping your phone from working.
It is theoretically possible to take the old SE lockscreen from stock 2.1 and put it onto this rom. Essentially you need to take the various smali, xml and png files that define it from the old rom and use them to overwrite the sliding tab files in the new rom.
If you just want the look, you may be better off theming the sliding tab lockscreen with the images from the original.

What if I copy framework-res.apk from sony style v1.1 ROM (2.3.7).... would it also cause any problem??
Sorry I am a noob
Well, you can try but there's a good chance it might not work.
Framework-res.apk contains a whole mess of files that define how your phone's interface works. It controls the layout of various elements and does all kinds of things.
Both rom's use GB and CM7 so that's promising, but you could have a few display issues.
In fact, now that I think about it, you're also going to need the services.jar as well as that's where the lockscreen smali file is kept.
Certainly, give it a try but just be prepared for it to go wrong. Make sure you backup first!
Or, why not try just using SonyStyle instead?

i see all the views on this post but no response i wonder if i asked it wrong or something
I understand you. If you dont want to flash a rom and 'd stay on stock , you can modify your status bar manually(needs root and root explorer) Go to /system /app/System UI and press view. Go to /res/drawable-hdpi and you'll see all the image files, and you can change what you want

thanks but sheesh thats a lot of pngs anywhere i can just download a black white and red set or something?
I think there wont be a pack only for the status bar, and if this exists, you must be deodoxed to install that.

I have a Red and Black theme and a Green and black theme for the Player 5.0. However, they will only work if you are running a CM9 based rom.

i think its a hard coded lockscreen, you have to uncompile lockscreen and change xml values to restore position, change font, etc.. i recommend uncompiling an aosp version of lockscreen and comparing xml values with our lockscreen to set right position and font, also in case you dont know, im talking about decompiling using apk tool, not the normal apk extraction, because you need the xml files
I don't have enough time and knowledge.. ;/
