I'm sure you are all familiar with the new MIUI craze, I'm currently working on a theme for MIUI but its not actually going to be applied through the theme manager. Sadly this one needs xml edits to change the status bar font to white.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thats the current progress of the theme, basically looking to black out the pulldown in a matte style. I have all the recourses done and in place I just need help changing the font to white. I've googled searched here and every other android site I can think of how to do it.
I've attempted editing with a hex editor.. that didn't work the series of numbers I was told to look for didn't even pull up while searching in the hex editor.
I've edited the xml files, Status_Bar.xml, Status_bar_expanded.xml, and status_bar_latest_event_content.xml and got no results. I tried editing the services.jar file and got nothing as well or it would cause boot loops.
To put it simply I'm not sure if I'm just not doing these edits rite or what but I have tried just about everything I can think of to change this font. Tried every tutorial I could find, and I just simply cannot do it. So I'm here asking for help from anyone that knows what they are doing or how to do it differently.
MIUI 1.2.4 is the build I'm trying to do this on, android build # 2.2.1.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated by not only me but the entire MIUI theming community I'm sure.

I liked the baby blue color back on the 2.1 stock. The new 2.2 JJ6 beta has this ugly navy blue color.
Is there a way to change it without reverting back to 2.1?
The one on the left is a 2.1 Galaxy S screenshot. The one on the right is the screenshot I took on a 2.2 JJ6 Captivate.

Bump. ■
Colors are in the image files of the framework-res.apk. There's no way to do it other then replacing each files with the appropriate one from 2.1 or changing the color manually of each image file and reuploading the package back to your phone.
You either have to live with it, use a theme or do it manually.
I'll decompile it when I get home tonight.
There doesn't seem to be anything about the colors in the images. They're just a bunch of boot logo images.
I did however fix one of the ROM's ****ty data connection icons. So, at least making progress... But, I still need to fix this awful window color.
Just my 2c: but don't we have some things a little more important to be concerned about than a minor change in the background color?
That's great for you, which is why I'm doing it.
Here is a small tool I developed to help perform color swaps without referring back to a table or website every few minutes.

The clipboard function won't work unless it detects clip.exe somewhere in your path env. I'm pretty sure that cuts out anyone running XP-32, but it can always be added.
I tried to include as much screw-up detection as possible to avoid errors, but as always let me know if you find something I missed.
Nice Work! Very convenient.
I had contemplated adding in something for the hex format conversion (123456 to 563412) as well, and allowing a set of colors to be entered in rather than just one. As always, any suggestions are welcome.
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Amazing tool!!!!
Can't wait to try this, thanks!

So i tried modding the ics-themed statusbar postet in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432062
I just wanted to get it a little more like the samsung stock theme (but darker). Strange thing is, that replacing the icons + appearence of the whole bar and slider destroyed the apk's somehow. My galaxy s+ can't get them working.
Even if i install the ics bar normal via cwm and overwrite the files later with the edited ones...
With the stock systemui and framework from broodrom i managed to do this easily. Just handling the apk as zip files, inserting my new icons.
Where did i go wrong?
I already edited all the images... all work done. Just getting it working is troubling
I edited the original broodrom apks are modified to look like this and just wanted to do the same with the extended statusbar:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
No one with any conclusions?
Were there any .9.png files which you maybe modified incorrect?
You know what, I'll upload the modded file, so you can see for yourself
The only .9.png file I modified was ic_notification_overlay.9.png
And I only replaced images, didn't edit anything else...
hi.. i wanna customize the look of my phone by editting and replacing the icons and background images of the rom i'm using. but the problem is i don't know what images that i need to replace. but i know it's possible because i already succeed changing some icons. like the pattern lock circles. i can easily change it because i know that images i need to replace is btn_code_lock_default, btn_code_lock_touched, indicator_code_lock_point_area_default. etcera....
i also tried to full an apk of a theme open it and drag the images from it to framework apk of the rom. and the phone looks change but i don't want all the images that it replace. that's why i want to know the Name or code of the icons and Images for me to easily change those. can you help me? here are some images that i want to change. can you give me the names of the images and place where i can find them..

Hi @ all!
I recently switched from my good old Xperia Mini to my brand new Xperia SP:victory:
So as soon as I got root (thanks to DooMLoRD), I started to mod everything I disliked before. Like the white Phone apks, cause I really hate this new-fashioned "white-minimalistic design".
But there is still one thing I really liked on my Xperia Mini and which was removed on Android 4+
The gradient StatusBar!
How can I change my StatusBar Background from this simple black/grey panel:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To a more fancy black gradient one, like this?
I know it's about editing/decompiling the SystemUI.apk, but regarding this I have some questions:
Which xml in the res/drawable folder is the one I have to edit after decompiling (and how), so that it will use a png instead of a hex colour code?
Which folder is the relevant one for the Xperia SP? res/drawable_hdpi? res/drawable_xhdpi?
Whats the exact resolution of the png I have to create? Is it a solid one or tile-based?
Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to to get rid of this new-fashioned flatdesign. In my eyes it looks like made with MSPaint!
regards
SOEDI
