So I posted this in the Q/A section but no one could help me out. Since it's a theming issue, I'm re-posting it here to see if I some one will know what I'm talking about. I've been trying to make the jog tabs transparent when you answer or decline a call, and I can't seem to find it. I've already edited the tabs, in the framework drawable-hdpi, so my unlock screen is transparent. But that doesn't seem to affect the tabs when you answer a call. Anyone know the answer? I don't think it's in the phone.apk. Do I need to edit an xml file in the framework? Thanks to anyone willing to help.

So I unzipped it to have a look around and it's not in there. I know if I want to mess with the dialer all the png's are there but I'm looking to make the answer call screen transparent. I found the 'answer' and 'reject' png's in the phone.apk but the tabs around them (the tabs that make it look like the AOSP lockscreen) won't go away.
Sorry off the top of my head I believe they're in the phone.apk. im the drawable-hdpi folder. If you can't find them ill look when I get home.

okay, so i have made some simple text icons to use with my theme. and i applied one to test, and it was a little small, which i can fix, but i was wondering how you guys go about positioning them? it's really out of place and i haven't a clue on how to maneuver their positions... Thank you much once again =]

That's probably in some XML files I don't know which though since I've never themed LauncherPro. You can download apkmanager and decompile the apk and look around in there.
okay, will do in a bit, when i decompile, how do i out em back together for testing etc?
and how would i go about getting/finding the xml i need?

You just select "compile" (option number 11 I think). You would have to make an update.zip and flash it to test I have no idea which XMLs it is but usually the names can lead you.
about where at in myphone would they be? lol, in system/bin?

im trying to make a theme and can't seem to change the signal bars icons. everything else in the theme works just fine. i can change all the other notification icons. but when i change the icons for the signal bars, it for some reason doesn't do anything. every time i reboot the phone it goes back to the stock signal bars. any ideas? also im wondering if you know how to/where to go to remove the recently used apps from the notification bar???
thanks!
any help would be appreciated.
How are you trying to change them?
They are located in your frameworks files.
They are named:
stat_sys_signal_0.png
stat_sys_signal_1.png
stat_sys_signal_2.png
stat_sys_signal_3.png
stat_sys_signal_4.png

Negative, they are in com.htc.resources and the signal bars are cdma_sys_4signal and the data icons are cdma_sys_data and just search lte to find the lte icons in the same folder.
you need to change them in com.htc.resources.apk
they are :cdma_sys_4signal_X (x being 0-4)

HEH mob just beat me to it...
anyone know how to remove the recently used apps from the pulldown???

i dont know what i'm doing wrong? i can change every other icon EXCEPT those! i change them, flash the update, and they just won't change! ugh..... im getting so frustrated with this...... hahaha those are the only icons that i can't seem to change no matter what i do.
update: i FINALLY got it to work! hahaha that was so frustrating! now i just need a fix for the recently used apps and ill be good. =) and I found an update.zip for getting rid of the recently used apps. Getting close on this theme. Thinking of calling it thunder-lime...... Unless I can think of something better.
i could have sworn i answered this this morning maybe it was another forum

Search google for "uot" and check out the online theme kitchen.

System ui apk
Sent from my Samsung Captivate
Sounds interesting, I went into the System ui apk, and opened "res" folder, then "drawable-hdpi", and found what I believe to be the right file, "status_bar_background.png" is this the correct file to edit for say, changing the transparency in gimp or photoshop?
I, like vdubguy, would like to know how to do this without using the kitchen.

With the new system ui API you ,have to decompile the apk and change a value as it points the background to a color code and not the image. Once you change that then you can change the image to add transperncy. You will also have to decompile it to make color changes as well

decompile w/ apk manager and use notepad++ to edit
When you get it figured out, could you do everyone a solid and post the updated files and where they should go? I'd be your bestie for life!

I don't know where it is, but maybe you could decompile something like the Search GoWidget (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.gowidget.searchwidget), it might help you in the right direction!

Hey guys,
So I decided to take a stab at altering SystemUI.apk to uncenter the clock, but I've run into some problems. Just FYI, I am total noob at this so I could be doing something incredibly stupid, but oh well.
Anyway, I was able to successfully decompile the apk, edit res\layout\status_bar.xml to set <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock... android:gravity="right">, build the apk again, sign it, and push it to my phone, however after all that the status bar just does not show up. I don't think it's the decompiling, building, or signing that's messing up because I performed all of those without editing any of the xml files, pushed it to my phone, and everything worked perfectly.
So what am I missing? Is changing "center" to "right" really enough to kill the statusbar? Do I need to edit something in framework-res.apk or some other file to be compatible with the new SystemUI.apk? Or is it that I need to change something in the smali folders as well as the res folders for it to work?
Any ideas that you guys have would be awesome. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something simple, or if I'm in way over my head with this stuff and need to do more than the hour and a half research and trial and error that I've put in so far =) Thanks guys!
There's a bit more to it than that
There's some moving around to do too.
I attached the original status_bar.xml for you to compare to. (it's already decompiled)
If you wanted you could just replace it with this one. Thought it might help to see what all was changed.
(the attached zip file is not flashable)
Don't sign system apps either. Signing may be why it isn't showing up but I've never signed a system app to know and without looking at it I think you need to put right|center not just right and I am not positive but you may need to move the padding of the status bar icons to the left so there is no overlap.

Easy guys. Just take a stock systemui.apk and move /res/layout/status_bar.xml over to the modded one. Then push. Don't even need to decompile.

Hmm, something is still wrong. I tried editing the status_bar.xml again, but the status bar still wouldn't show up. Then I deleted the file that was there and pasted in the stock status_bar.xml that Kane posted, pushed it to my phone, and still no status bar/notification pull down. Am I not compiling the apk right?
I'll be on IRC for the next 40 minutes or so if anyone wants to hop on and help me out =)
Did you compile the apk after replacing the XML?
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2
Yup, I actually finally got it to work and just need to tweak a couple things. I took the SystemUI.apk from the latest ICK.zip update, modified the SystemUI.apk file, then created a flashable zip for it. I don't know if it was using a flashable zip that worked, where just using adb push didn't, or if starting over with a different SystemUI.apk was what did it.
@kane: BTW, do you know the hex color code for your ICK theme icons? I was trying to match the color for the clock, but it's slightly off. And Thanks for the stock apk, without comparing the two, I never would have figured out the format for putting the clock back =)
@beamer: Thanks for the heads up to not sign the apk, worked without doing so. That was an annoying step anyway =)
the stock ICS colors are 33B5E5 and 0099CC
I used 33B5E5 for all the edits I did in the ICK theme
0099CC is a little bit darker
I didn't read the whole post but after pushing systemui did you reboot if you don't reboot you won't get a statusbar

I did. I'm thinking the problem was actually the dalvik-cache, maybe? After i got the clock right aligned, i tried to hide some of the status icons like mute and the alarm clock, but i couldn't get any of them hidden and it was driving me crazy. Then i decided to wipe dalvik and it worked perfectly.
