i dont really want all that much, i really only want my notification bar to be black, kinda like the hero roms. but i dont want an entire them or new rom, i like cm 4.0.4(waiting for a stable BFS! )
anyway, how would i go about getting just the black notification bar? please help. thanks!
oooooh ooooh oh pick me pick me (trying to pretend to be in kindergarten and wanting to answer the question) open up the theme template, go to system/framework-res.apk/res/drawable/statusbar_background.png and use colorChange.jar (found here) to change the date ticker and clock to white (or whatever color you want) then resign the file, then put it on your sdcard and flash away.
i hope you can't get all that to work. i could do it for you in like 15 minutes to uploaded and giving you the link, but my wifi is messed tonight (it sucks!!!) so i am having to tether with my phone.
though if you can't get i will have no problem doing it once my wifi is working again.
um, ill be patient and thanks! i dont work tomorrow, not sure if you do, but i can do a lot of phone fixing tomorrow, ill have time. when you get a chance please pm me. thanks again!

Hey guys .. well i have a pretty sick ass theme put together, and i am at a loss here .. and i have PM'd almost everyone and the new flag-away response is gtalk me .. psh .. if it were only that easy ..
now question one .. when i go to sign my *.zip, it will let me apply the zip, boot, function almost 90 percent correctly, and than i will proceed to get a multitude of errors in my OS. Mainly my GApps. I have found that this only has happened on recent Cyan .2.3.1, and .1.2.3 - as well as EVERY 2.0. 2.01, and 2.1 build.
I NEED YOUR GUYS HELP. it just keeps telling me that i have a f/c and the usual shmiiit in between.. i am ready to pull my hair out. i have used Stericsons tool, and the cmd.exe method, and the right click. WHICH ALL USED TO WORK FINE..
PLEASE PEEPS. If you have any suggestions, or anything like that, email me, telegraph me, whatever your chosen means of communication may be. Thanks.

gtalk - /\---------------/\ same
i have all error reports as well. LEME KNOOOW. THANKS
it happens to me randomly, wipe, 1.6 image, cm 4.xxx, theme.
but the first thing i did when i clicked this thread is clicked back but then i thought id give it a chance, next time try not to type in rediculous sized fonts it doesnt get you any more help than typing in regular sized font
the reason your theme doesnt work on eclair is because most of the files in drawable within the framework-res.apk have been moved to drawable-mdpi
edit: nvm i think you said they work 90% on eclair roms? if so, disregard this post lol
thanks for the insight....

im playin, i know man it was an error, just is aggrivating when all the 1.6 works, but noooooo 2.0? wow
Can you please fix your OP so it is not so hard on the eyes?
This isn't going to be a signing issue if you can flash your theme. You may want to post your theme or at least the images you edited so people can see what you did, you may have editing something you shouldn't have or did it incorrectly. Do you know what .9's you edited before? Did you look at any changes between the images from one version to another? In 4.2.x some thing have changes and images needed to be reprocessed and such for certain .9's. Btw, most willing to help would rather do it in gtalk over PM's. I know I do because it is easier to explain things on the fly rather then keep going back and forth on a PM.
as op you mean signiture?
sorry man, kinda neebish on these, anyways got the signing issue solved, took about an 8th of chron, and some reading, and a COMPLETTTE redo. haha. got it though.. look out for my theme .. it will be out today, as well as Obsidian 2.1 - the REAL 2.1
Long time lurker, first time poster... I have been learning a lot really fast about customizing different aspects of the eris, but what I have been really searching hard for is a way to customize certain components to add to an already great rom. Right now I am running Eris_Official_0.8.1T2 btw. Anyways what I am really looking for is something like this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654852 Mostly the Launcher is what I really want to change but to be able to tweak everything else would be great too. If someone knows how to do this or can point me in the right direction to maybe even learn how myself I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
unzip the rom files
system/framework/com.htc.resources
once in there go to
res/drawable-port-mdpi
the file named common_app_rosie_navbar.png
is the launcher, and thats the main thing u need to edit.
and also go to
system/apps/rosie.apk
one inside the apk go to
res/drawable-normal-mdpi
and
drawable-normal-port-mdpi
edit those to your liking
Wow I feel dumb now lol... Ive been poking around in com.htc.resources for a couple days now and completely overlooked that... Thanks alot... Only question I have now is how do I remove the word phone that overlayed on the launcher? I would post a screenshot of my home screen but since im a new user its not allowing me.
Thanks for the help
well I uploaded a photo to my album so if you feel like checking it out just go to my profile... Im starting to like the phone (icon and word) over the orb but if anyone knows how to remove the word for future reference please let me know... I am also trying to find out how to change the status bar's clock color, which searching around has brought me to editing the services.jar or services.odex file but Im still uncertain on how to do this. Any input would be great.
Im going to sound like an idiot, but i can't open the apk to edit, im missing something.. help?
Right click and open with winrar or 7zip. Once you have edited the images you will have to resign either the .apk or the rom. Depending on if you are editing the whole rom or not. Hope I was able to help
hey, i've been screwing around pulling .apks from /system/app + /framework...and pretending i'm some hardcore themer or something...lol anyway...
firstly sorry for my lack of correct terminology...i only learnt how to use adb properly a few days ago and am very green when it comes to all this stuff.
i've managed to pull some pngs from com.htc.resource.apk which correspond to the main part of the sense/rosie interface (ie the buttons at the bottom of the home screen).
All i have been looking at doing is editing the colours of these pngs to add slight customisation..for now.
After editing i pushed com.htc.resource.apk back to my hero and hey presto it worked...nice new coloured interface (just the bottom of the homescreen, not everything like i've seen in some themers work and metamorph themes) but alas i came across a MASSIVE issue:
I lost the ability to sign into my google account and sync my contacts!!!!
I tried again and had the same issue...very strange i thought seen as i was only editing images...but i know computer systems can be temperamental...
so does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? possibly how i can fix this issue? it's been bugging me for at least 24 hrs and i'm sure there must be some easy fix. at first i thought it could be something to do with signing the files, but as far as i'm aware as i'm only playing with pngs no signing has to be done...correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm using villain rom 10.3 at the moment...if that makes a difference to whatever answers i'm hoping to get.
I've attached an image oh my status bar so far. i'm hoping to make a corresponding rosie/sense button thingy interface in the near future...
all help is GREATLY appreciated and i'm happy to share any "work" that i've done with anyone..so don't be shy.
Cheers
hey bro! i was playing around with the htc.com.resources.apk too! was trying to edit the lockscreen to a different style but too encounter the exact same problems as you faced!
apparently this guy, odin13 in his post
"clear sense lockscreen for Cronos 1.7.1"
managed to edit the htc.com.resources.apk without any facing any problems like us. im actually using his edited htc.com.resources.apk for clear lockscreen right now..
Cheers for the reply, bit of a flummoxing problem. I'll try an find odin and see if he can help!
Please anyone else feel free to help me here :-D
Hi guys,
Sorry for my late response but i just noticed the msg i got...
I'm really sorry but i really can't help you with this problem.
You should better ask it in the Villain forum since i'm no developer or some like that.
The boyz at Villain will definately be able to help you out with this or at least they can tell you what's going wrong.
The 'trick' with lockscreen is something i read once in a post ( can't remember which forum though ) so it's not even something i will take credit for.
Good luck bro and srry again for the late response!
hoi,
odin
Hey thanks for getting back to me man, greatly appreciated. Those boys at villain did solve it, i think it was a combination of pulsar & ultimately shen who sorted me out.
For stuff like the lockscreen and sense interface you need to create an update signed zip file and flash that way. no more loss of contacts which is great!
Happy days!
First, I apolgize if this belongs in the general section, I just wasn't sure where to post. I would like to change the look of my dialer (the one you hit the phone icon to bring up), specifically to the look of Jt's AOSP rom dialer posted by Captainkrtek and pictured below. I really can't find anything that says exactly what to change in the contacts apk to get it to look like that. Rather, everything I have done has failed miserably. can anyone give me a little insight into what I take from one to put into the other? Thanks in advance
the touchwiz dialer and aosp dialer don't line up right, you'll need some xml edits (DIP) and images and a bunch of other stuff.
the dialer is TabDialerActivity.apk (or something like that)
DialerTabActivity.apk and framework-res.apk
Big thanks to both of you. I have that apk on my phone, but the aosp rom doesn't, do they hide that somewhere else on aosp? I am just sifting thru the whole rom right now looking for the same files. Also, if they don't line up right, am I just wasting my time?

Well, it all depends on what you want. You might want to check Phone.apk also.
Eh, looked there but nothing matches up. I give up. Getting it like that may be more than my noob behind can handle right now. I'm still learning the ins and outs so, I may put this on the back burner next to my custom boot animation. Thanks again for the help. At least now if I find one I like in another theme, I will be able to change it
I've been smashing my head against a brick wall for the past week.
I've been reading, downloading, installing, reading, uninstalling, updating, reading and punching myself in the face for far too long.
Right now I'm at the point where I'm either going to jump off a roof or destroy every piece of technology in my house with a hammer.
All I need - is somebody to talk to to give me a helping hand. I've gone too long just sitting here trying to figure it out, with all your broken links, complicated theories and insane lengths to change one icon.
Why is it so frustrating? Because what I want to do should be so simple, or it should be...
I have a Nexus S i9020, using ADW Launcher with CyanogenMod 7.0.3-NS.
All I want to do is:
-Change the icons in the Icon drawer
-Make a new status bar
-Change the color of the batter/WiFi/GPS/3G etc in the status bar.
In a perfect world this would mean replacing a few PNG images and being on my way.
But oh no - 6 days later and a LOT of frustration later - I have achieved nothing. I've watched too many youtube video's to count, and right now I just need somebody to simplify it all and give me a hand.
Can anybody point me in the direction of a detailed, easy, step by step guide which explains everything? Because NONE of the pinned threads have helped me, and I have to wait until I get 8 posts before I can print screen what is happening and try to explain it properly.
Or can somebody just give me a helping hand?
Since you're on CyanogenMod7, you can make a theme chooser APK. It's really quite simple.
CLICK HERE
Thanks but that looks more complicated than the other threads :/
I'm amazed nobody has made a simple theme builder application like those that exist for the PS3 etc.
I'm in so deep here - I have no idea where to even start.

Wow this is exactly what I needed.
There are still a few things I'd like to change beyond this though. But thanks a lot that has helped me achieve 90% of what I wanted.
Edit:
I got to the summary page, and I don't understand any of it. I feel like giving up right now.
At the end it was asking me to upload things, edit binary, I just have no idea where to start.
I need a 'theming for dummies' book. Seriously I know NOTHING about ANYTHING in this area.
What you need to upload is in your rom.zip unzip it and look in app, you should have some apk's there that uot is asking for

Go from left to right on the tabs up top (battery, icons, etc.) and pick whatever you want to use. When you get to the file upload tab, click system files in the right column and upload the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your ROM. When they've finished uploading, go to the summary tab. If any of the items listed are in an orange box, they were done incorrectly. Go back to them and finish. If they're all green, hit 'Submit work to kitchen' and wait for it to finish (it can take a while). Take the zip it makes for you and flash in recovery.
To get the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your ROM, open the ROM in Winzip, 7Zip, or whatever you want to use. framework-res.apk is located in system/framework and systemui.apk is located in system/app.

When he says it can take a while, he really means it. The first time I used the theme kitchen I was waiting for 30 minutes and was convinced something had gone wrong. During peak hours it can really take a long time, especially if you're creating multiple elements. So just be patient about it after you've submitted the theme for creation.
Also, make sure you take a nandroid backup before flashing anything to your device. Better to be safe than sorry! Nandroid has saved my behind more times than I can count.
