In this tutorial I will take you through the steps to fully customise splash screen and main screen as its not a case of switching images.

Start off with splash screen or load up screen and login screen if not sure what it is. All editing is to be done in res/drawable folder. First thing first is to work out colours you will like to use. The way I sorted this was look at res/value/color and get codes for colours needed. For my main page I chose transparent for those that aren't familiar with color hexcode it is #0000ffff will make your buttons see through.
To edit splash screen you need to go to res/drawable/splash_new_backgrounds.xml. in here it gives you 2 colour options from to. If you desire it to be a block colour have them same code. Then save.

Next you go back to drawable folder and edit 7 xml's. These are for main buttons live_focus, live_without-focus, series_focus, series_without_focus, vod_focus and vod_without_focus.
Last one is the bottom 3 buttons this is green_without_focus. Edit all these xml's and change all logos and backgrounds you can create an app just like I have done.

Search "Master Search" will show in strings. Delete just "Master Search" or replace with whatever you want. Then drawable search_white replace with a blank.png or whatever you want. This is just cosmetic the button even if u can't see will still be clickable. Making it unclickable would take more editing

good shares guys. stuff like this helps the newbies get going and learning. As aot of us know that have experience under our belt know that this is the process for majority of all apps when it comes to changing colors and such. i wish it was as easy as res/values/colors for every color in the app but unfortunately its not so takes some time and work

You need replace the Master Search not in " " sorry if my info was a lil confusing
Anything thats text in an app just search it as it's shown best advice I can give people is you can't hurt the app if u mess up just start over. If you doin many edits and not sure about next step then save app as is so if you screw up Don t need start from beginning. But other than that rip the app apart it's best way to learn new things

Hello everyone, so in my efforts to learn modding and customizing I was going to build a new Smarters for a friend and his customers, he is not into doing it him self but would like the new Smarters so I said I build him one when the official was released so he could use it for a month or so and test to see if it blows up. I had some things I wanted to do it before I gave it to him. Before I build it to see if I can preserve the Master Search like others have. If I remember right i used to be able to just remove things in the xml i.e. radio and switch users... On the dashboard without free trial but I seem to be having issues so it must be in smali and that xml is a just a template maybe I don't know.maybe I'm tired. Also in the new_login I couldn't remove VPN and list users also hardcoding the any name part with something and hiding it. With android:visibility="gone". Now I can't seem too. I expected it would be made harder soon enough lol. I assume I can hide them but only by using a como style hide it would still be clickable. Thanks in advance. Feel free to to have a good laugh if I'm just editing the wrong files or doing something simple wrong. But please let me know what it is after your don : ?

Yeah I know it is fresh out the press ? I didn't even think of the fact they would mess with how you hide icons ? I just want to turn off things, I'm sure there are opcodes to turn things on and off, I just don't understand that stuff yet. I'm and old dog trying to learn new tricks.
edit-- So the other question is does invisible work instead of or in conjunction with gone

In the colors.xml look for the following

"cat_left_background"
"cat_search_background"
"cat_search_background_live"
"cat_left_background"

Change this to what ever colour you want.

Then in res/drawable-v21/ look for the following:

"ripple_left_sidebar.xml"
"ripple_left_sidebar_tv.xml"

Search for #ff1b1a1a and change to "@color/cat_left_background"
