Hey.
I need some help...
Is there anybody familiar with the DialerTabActivity.apk? (Touchwiz, Galaxy S)
I try to change the background for the dial pad (see screenshot).
One thing I don't find is the marked black bar.
Maybe it's part of another apk, I don't.
I'm almost sure that this bar can't be changed in DialerTabActivity.apk, but maybe I missed something.
Help is appreciated
My guess is that it's .xml related.
That's what I thought too.
I already checked colors.xml, drawables.xml and some more (I don't remember, I looked at a lot ).
I need a hint...
EDIT:
Success!
tw_color002 in colors.xml
It gets confusing trying to find all that stuff, huh?... lol.

anyone know how to change the text of the widget on the homescreen?
I figured it would be in white_text.xml and grey_text.xml but i changed what i thought would correspond to the text colour (from the preceeding code), hell i then changed every bloody FFFFFF in there one at a time for no change. I have managed to change the text inside the widget when you open it up by changing new_white_text.xml and news_grey_test.xml
Any ideas? Maybe a smali edit? Had a quick look thru smali files but couldn't really find anything to change this colour (i am very new to smali stuff).
If you have been able to change it can you let me know the line number maybe?
thanks
Hi, I did this a while back so I forgot what value I changed, but here is the file I changed in Metamorph. You can maybe do a comparison to see what's changed.
It also has the background for Moonsspoon's gchrome, however the theme file isn't included. (So don't use it as-is)
Hope this helps
Thanks heaps mate. I will try it out later and see how I go.
Hi Guys
How do you make buttons have a transparent look? I have seen both some mods and roms that have made the sense launcher/navbar buttons transparent and or translucent. I have contacted the creators of the mods and roms and asked how they accomplished their effects but my requests for help have gone unanswered.
I imagine that the effects are made possible by an entery in one of the xml files I just don't know which files I should be looking at and what to be looking for inside those files.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to find the PNG files that you want to change and create them so that they are transparent.
As an example, /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk has a file called "lockscreen_arc.png. *see attached* It is semi-transparent (when viewed in photoshop).
What little I know how to do I learned from THIS, a few questions answered by JsChiSurf and some fearlessness to dig in and hope my nandroid saved me.

So you are saying that it is the image itself that is transparent or translucent and not an attribute somewhere in one of the xml files?
What I am trying to do is actually undo the transparency/translucency of a an image. I figured it might be the result of an xml attribute since upon replacing the image with one of my own nothing changed (now I may not have replaced the correct image, this is always a possibility)

Well it can actually be done both ways some are controled by the image itself adn some are controlled my xml.

If it is controlled by xml do you know what files I should be looking at and what inside the files I should be looking for?
Note this is for the laucher/navbar buttons in particular the ones found in konirosie (but I imagine any help could be applied generally)
I am just learning the editing of xml's myself, so I can really help much, this is a question that should be directed to JsChiSurf. That man is the expert on editing the xml's and could probably guide you to what you are looking for.
Ok, somebody please help me out here before i go insane. Ive read countless threads and forums on this and it makes absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL.
im running Darky's newest Rom, rc4. with the Steelblue theme overtop of it.
Right now im trying to further modify the notification bar, more specifically im trying to change the the color of bar that says "On Going" and is circled in Pink.
also want to change the bottom of the pulldown bar also circled in pink.
And if possible i would like to change the background part that is circled in green.
since theres this new post rule its not letting me post a screenshot but the link is below

i have tried editing all the status_bar_XXXXX.png files in the framework-res.apk, but i havnt been able to change the stuff i have circled. Partly because i dont think im even looking at the right files, as in there not in the framework.apk
someone help me out please!
Im pretty sure you are using a samsung
So, those images you wanted to change are in twframework.apk
For Gingerbread roms, those files are in SystemUI.apk

I've got a problem with finding one graphic that can be seen around the system, in messages, contacts I think, but mostly it is in Settings. It is the divider between options, and I can't find it. I tried framework-res.apk, tw-framework.apk, systemui.apk, settings.apk and some others with no luck, maybe someone more experienced could help? I marked the thing with red color on the screen (attachment).
Hey Guys,
i`m searching for a method to change my font color.
As i posted in the "Show your wallpaper sticky" my Wallpaper has a white Background.
I also made the status bar and the dock fully transparent.
So it is impossible to read the clock or something else what is written in white...
Hope someone could give me a kick in the right direction.

Changing the native font colour involves pulling your framwork-res.apk, decompiling it, editing the hex values in XML, recompiling it and then pushing it back to the phone. I'm sure if you Google "change font colour android" you'll find a few guides.
Alternatively, it would be much easier to just use a different background
hi postfatal,
thanks for your response.
i googled the entire morning and this is really the only solution?
*sigh*
so i have to learn a bit more about our beloved android system
i wouldn't change my wallpaper because after 3 years i found a nice new one
So i give it a try and make the impossible possible ;P
