I was wondering what XML files I need to edit in order to change the secondary text color from blue to white. Does anyone know which one(s) I need?
Thanks. =)

in a touchwiz based rom you need to decompile framework-res and edit zz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml in both color and color-hdpi...make your edits, and recompile
What about a non touchwiz based rom, what xml(s) should be edited?

Hey guys,
I was wondering, is it possible to change the highlights/options e.g. from green/orange to any other color, any help at all will be greatly appreciated
It is possible look in the framework-res.apk and change all the files (which is alot) with green/orange hilight to what ever color you want
cheers man, ill give it a shot
I am also interested in doing this. I hate the ugly orange highlights on the stock android roms. I'm running KaosFroyo v.31. How would I go into the framework-res.apk to edit it?

you can either:
1. use adb to pull it from your phone
2. look in the ROM zip and grab it from there
and when you finish editing you can adb push to your phone or use an update script.
the file sits in the system/framework folder on 2.1 ROMs
Hi guys,
Wondering if someone can give me some clear directions how to add battery icons (knowing that the resource IDs of the images are not stored in public.xml - it doesn't exist in samsung's framework-res.apk) and how can I change text colors (basically replace black with white and vice versa) and where should I change these values.
Thanks a lot!
Common themers, I know you know, you just don't wanna share
Joking I would really like to start themeing as well and these are the only 2 issues that I have at the moment.

Get apk manger.I'm trying to do this too.
Hm, I did, I de-compiled the apk but did not want to compile back. Probably the images are not Draw 9-patch-ed. However, I still need to find out how to change the text color...

You can change the battery icons in the framework-res.apk [look in the res/drawable hdpi/stat_sys_battery_x.png
and to change the text color: I was trying to figure that one out last week....From what I figured out you need to modify:
res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml
Which is found in your framework-res.apk aswell....Decomplie-edit-recomplie....
Good luck
what program are you using to edit your xml's?

i change icons and stuff in framework by just using 7zip. No need to decompile or sign, or any of that. Super easy. Not sure about changing text color, tho.
If your just wanting to do simple changes (no .xml edits)
You can use WinRar to open the framework-res.apk and find the *.png's you want to replace.
Then copy/paste the new images over the old ones inside of WinRar.
Close.. and install.
But thats for quick and dirty changes. For more intricate stuff - animations etc. that require *.xml edits - do what the above folks say
No way..
OK, just decompiled-added icons from other decompiled framework-recompiled, no xml edits-installed. Look is changed, battery icons now displaying fine but... force closes and restarts the shell in less than 20 secs...
yup try the winrar method - there is no decompiling.. just copies the images into the *.apk
And shouldn't have any FC's if you try that method.

i have tried for to days now to get these android faces icon for the battery.I've use winRar and it worked good for a few hours, but when i used cwm to backup my system on reboot it boot loop. I got apk manger and everytime I try to compile the apk there is a error.Oh changing the text color would be cool too!

Shoot me a link to the icons you're trying to use. What ROM are you using(name & version). What text are you looking to change? There's not one global change to make all the text different I'll need to know what specifically you're trying to change.
I use the uot kitchen you get the icon on perception 7,but im on 8 now. I'm running perception 7 darknees 2.3 theme, and that is what i'm trying to get the icons on its the battery icon of the android smiley faces it is version j with white numbers. i'm going to look for a link for them.i have the framwork-res.apk with them in it.
When you recompile with APK Manager, a couple of things are very important to do:
1. Hit yes to "system app".
2. Hit yes to restoring the files:
-Open the "keep" folder and delete resources.arsc. Then delete anything you changed (if it's there).
3. Do NOT sign it.
It should work.

Do you just individually edit each icon? Cause I can't find a way to copy in a folder. I'm pulling the icons from the 2.3 framework, but i just want to copy over the drawable folders for now.

Hey guys, I need a little help finishing the the pieced together theme I'm putting together for my phone running Axura. I've got everything looking the way I want, except for the volume bars.

I don't know where you'd find the files for the orange bars but the files to edit are framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. You'll need to decompile them with APK Manager or apktool since you need to edit XML files in them.
framework-res.apk:
framework-res/res/drawable/progress_horizontal.xml
twframework-res.apk:
twframework-res/res/drawable/tw_progress.xml
twframework-res/res/drawable/tw_progress_horizontal.xml
twframework-res/res/drawable/tw_progress_secondary.xml
Hope this helps.

Thank you sir. I just swapped the framework-res files from the ones in the minimalistic theme and got what I needed.
Does anyone know how to change system font color? It would be awsome if someone could figure it out or knew how to already. Im on Fasty 2.5 if that means anything lol.
you need apk manager to decompile framework-res.apk to get to the
the xmls and you will need notepad++ to edit them.
they are located here: framework-res.apk/res/color/
zzz_tw_primary_text_dark
zzz_tw_primary_text_light
zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub
Thanks i was able to decompile the framework apk. Lest say i wanted to change the color of the font to red. How might i go about doin that. PS ive looked at the do it your self theming stickys and posts but its a little complicated. Thank you so much for taking the time to help.

I was able to decompile the xmls but with notepad++ I am still getting nothing. I am using Windows 7.
Hi i would like some help which would be nice from any Theme Creator or Dev because they will probably know where to look.
So can anyone tell me which files need to be changed to make the volume & brightness bars in quicksettings pulldown bar to change the bar color? i have changed the color via framework, system ui or htc res, rosie, settings files but.... not sure which files i changed in what location that did that?
Also which file do i need to locate to change the button pressed on the home screen? Cause i wanna get rid of the green sense look to my phone, my phone is looking pretty modded & i know how to use Photoshop to change PNGs & know how to mod APKs too.
Any help would be great i have tried the search bar on here & also in google but didnt get any results & to be honest i know people on XDA will know this.... thanks in advance
The progress bar color in quick settings is defined by this file: common_progress_full.9.png (in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi)
Are you using a Gingerbread 2.3.5 or Sense 3.5 rom? If yes, the button press color in the homescreens can't be changed. At the moment all available tools fail with decoding the images.
In Sense 2.1, you have to edit Rosie.apk. For Sense 3 (+ GB 2.3.3 or .4), fusion.apk has to be edited with m10 tool.
I can give you more details if you want to.
Thanks
Thanks for that but i cant locate it in my system ui/res/drawable-hdpi? i tried looking in htc/rs/draw-hdpi too? cant find that common_progress_full.9.png? could you check again for me or if have time upload the file? i cant see why it would be missing though?
I havent had a chance to mess with the m10 editor? is it easy enough to use when editing the fusion.apk?
I love XDA.... its the best for phone modding & has many helpful members

You have to load the Rosie.apk with m10 editor, then decompile the Rosie_navbar.m10 file and change the following opacity values from 1 to 0.0099999998. If you set them to 0, pressing on the buttons will have no effect.
thanks for this

Do you mean the volume bars? if so just goto the UOT Kitchen & chage them in there, then flash them over your rom, or put the changes of your framework & system ui into your rom zip & flash your rom again?
