Has anyone successfully changed the colors on the top tabs bar? I've been trying to change the colors from blue to red using NinjaMorph but it craps out on me everytime I save them. It doesn't FC at all but it screws up the images. See the pictures for what I'm talking about.
Edit:
Forgot to add that I'm running Cognition 2.2.7 with Minimalistic Mod v1.4 just in case it's needed.
Just throwing out something off the top of my head.. but are you using the same image sizes as the original also?
Just trying to help
Yeah, I'm just opening the apk in NinjaMorph, long pressing on the image and picking edit. From there I just adjust the color til its red then saving the image. The picture is the same size and everything it's just the color that's different.

I am currently looking to find a way to invert the settings menu. All the white bothers me. I have decompiled it and searched the pngs, and see none that represent a similar greyish white, so I feel it may not be a png. If it is, anyone know what png or where?
I know the menu_list.xml has a value for background = #ffffffff, which does match white. I change that to black (#ff000000) and menu_item.xml has an entry for TextAppearanceLarge, which does represent white text. I add inverse to switch to black text.
After compiling and adding to my phone, I can not find any physical changes. So I edited some of the text in the /values/strings.xml and test again. Now I see a change, but only change I see is to the text I changed. So no clue what the menu_list and item change. And still at square 1.
Any one have any input how to theme settings.apk?

I searched and even tried compiling it myself using apktool but keep getting boot loops. Basically what I'm trying to do is "very simple", change the popup menu text from white to a dark gray. The reason is, because of the theme I am using (black menu with white text), it doesn't appear correct for a bunch of third party apps. The third party apps uses the white text from the theme, but it doesnt use the same black menu images (they are still default white/light grey).
Attached are screen shots. Can someone take my framework-res.apk and recompile correctly for me? I just need the menu text to change to a gray color so it contrasts with both the black menus and light gray menus.
It would also be helpful if you can show me the exact steps. For some reason eveytime I compile I bootloop, I followed different guides but no help. Thank you.
Try it.
Im having same problem... can u explain what u hv changed in framework-res.apk ... pls need an emergency help..
Hi,
The Homescreen Background on the Default settings for Android 2.3 is just a black screen. at least in all android 2.3 that i have seen.
now i have set an other background image and i want my background to be black again.
i dont feel like creating an image that is black and set it, because i feel like there has to be another way. its not a black image by default. is it? where is this black file?
Thanks
Is the default not the nexus live wallpaper?

Hi to all.
I cant find a solution to my problem and maybe someone can help me.
I have found some wallpapers for our Note in the right resolution (800x1280) to use these in my lockscreen.
The problem is that when i choose a wallpaper with lot of black color and choose it as lockscreen wallpaper i can see some horizontal lines on it.
If i choose the same image as phone wallpaper everything is ok.
Where is the problem?
Thank you all.
I have the exact same issue. Horizontal lines on lock screen, but looks fine everywhere else. I don't have the solution, but maybe I can help you out a bit.
I did some searching, it turns out that there's some sort of software bug that doesn't allow black images to be truly black but rather very dark grey. The thread is somewhere in this forum.
Also the native lock screen resolution is actually smaller than the screen resolution because of the notification bar. Per this forum: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/37268-lockscreen-resolution-compression-issues-false-info.html
Also when you set an image to be the lock screen, it seems the picture is re-scalled and saved again (in another directory), which means compressed again.
Android phones usually don't display images in 24 or 32 bit color but rather 16 bit color, which means color banding. More on that information somewhere in this thread also.
My suggestion is:
1. Find out the native lock screen resolution. I'm also searching for the figure.
2. Edit your photo, change it to that resolution, and make sure the black areas of that image are truly digitally black (000000), and save it as an uncompressed image.
Maybe the horizontal lines are because the image is being re-scalled, re compressed, and the image being displayed at 16 bit color with a "true black but" is resulting in horizontal lines.
The solution is this. I'm using it and black is perfect.

Not bad idea at all...I have used widgetlocker in my previous phones but somehow i had some little problems like small lugs or battery draining.
I dont know if in the latest version is fixed.
But ill try cause i love black lockscreen in our huge super screen...
edit:Not working properly for me cause i have lower destiny...
Ah, what a shame! But WL does work, so if you ever go back to the stock density i highly recommend you using it.
Magick locker is free so you can test that, get a theme and customize wallpaper, set any black image and its fine. so its samsung lockscreen software bug
