How can I edit the control bar ?
Any help would be appreciated.
I can provide you whatever you need from the ROM.
Thanks !
Anyone ? .
I have no idea about you r phone...but they are 9.png´s and probably in framework-res.apk.
I've searched everything in framework-res.apk but I cannot find them anywhere.
what´s your Rom?
Void ROM. Do you want me to upload something ?

yeah, framework-res.apk
Here you go.
Thank you !
u use a theme?..cause the battery icon is different..
Yes, I have modified it using the online theme kitchen.
Only the notification bar is modified.
ok.
It´s all in frameworks... but as you use kitchen, I dont know how about applying a morph over it, never tried kitchen......I would use default "void" framework and apply a morph for all your changes.
I can extract the original framework-res.apk from the void ROM. Can you do something with it ?

do morphs work on your Rom?
Haven't tried any morph yet. Any way I could check ?
Here is the original framework.
yes, take a morph for your phone and try it..a framwork morph would be good.
Sorry to say but there are none morphs for my phone. It is pretty new in this area.
Where have you found them in the framework ? Can't I modify it and then repack + sign the framework ?
Test Morph_DarkX
ok...if this test morph works on your default framework-res.apk (not kitchen!)..you can start to theme
- put "DarkX.zip" in /sdcard/AndrodThemes/
- apply with MetaMorph (app from Market)
It gets stuck at Applying framework-res.apk.

- You got Void's default framework-res.apk ?

I'm a beginner at this, but if you can pull the /assets/keyboards folder out of the apk by using winrar or 7-zip, and you have something like photoshop or illustrator, etc, then you can go bonkers with the image files in there.
when you are done editing it then shove it back in the appropriate place in the apk.
Note that I am not on CM7, but I *think* it should be the same...?

Cool! Let me know if you have a way of changing the trace color. I've got that question posted in other threads, but while I'm doing my own reading, can't hurt to ask too many people, too.
man i dont know, how to do that, but i wanted to do a sype theme for my honeycomb theme so i dont mind the blue trace color, but if your find out remember to tell me ;-)

Not sure what to tell you except that I modified a working swype from a custom rom and the theme stock after reboot.
Did you modify a beta swype directly? I'm not sure if that would even have been the problem, but had to ask.

i modified the new version the one that you need to install the swype installer and then through that app you get swype, that swype isnt in system/app, is in data/app

I don't even know if this will work. For all I know it could mess things up, big warning there.
Could you try to move that to /system/app and rename as Swype.apk (if it hasn't been done already --- not even sure that's necessary)?
...or even better...grap the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so file from a working custom ROM and use those and drop your own keyboard images on that one. That's what I did and it works for sure.
EDIT: Gonna be slow in responding for a bit. Getting dragged out of the house to Home Depot. Uggghhhh.
In order to theme the swype tail, you need to decomplie the apk. Then you edit res/values/colors. You will see
color name="TRACE_PATH_COLOR">#xxxxxx</color>

You have to decompile the apk using apktool first.

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?

I have solved this thread problem if anyone has the same just change the common_music_progress_fill.9 this will change the volume bars in the status menu.
Hope this helps

I tryed kitchen. But in the LG ROM some files are not in framework-res or system ui.
So you can change only status Icons and battery icon but not the ugly blueish style of the whole ROM like the Icons in the dropdown menu.
Is it understandable what im trying to say?
Yes, me too I've tried several times changing the icons in the drop-down menu but so far i haven't succeeded :/
what are u saying guys????u can edit EVERY aspect of any LG ROM without the lockscreen & the icons!!!!...check out my themes' sceenshots in this thread!!!!

It's because some things are named different. You can't change those icons unless you decompile. Example, in dropdown menu/pull down menu, indi_noti_bluetooth_off (LG) versus stat_bluetooth_off (Gingerbread, CM7). UOT doesn't cover that.

Ah, they meant the Power widget notification icons.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks gabwerkz that's what i meant ^_^ When you say decompile you refer to decompile the framework-res.apk or the systemui.apk?

If you want to change those icons, they are located in SystemUI. If you have your UOT zip, extract/unzip it.
1. Grab the SystemUI and decompile.
2. Change the icon/s.
3. Compile.
4. Rename the compiled unsignedSystemUI to SystemUI.
5. Open your UOT zip by double clicking (if you have a rar/zip program),
6. Locate SystemUI (app folder).
7. Drag and drop the compiled and replace.
8. With WinRAR (my compression method is "store").
9. Exit and flash the zip.
Be aware of the icon size (for alignment) left and right. You can crop top and bottom so you can resize it's background too. Same as the Carrier background. See my unresized background example below (V20N). A waste of space. Then see my modified one (CM7). you only get good results by decompiling. UOT cannot resize backgrounds.

Remember that are various files involved:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk now in Gingerbread
Are there in this new ROM lge-res.apk and suires.apk?? They were in Froyo, pretty important.
I haven't even looked at this V20 Rom since I'm in CM7 and moving to HD2 in a few days.
Good luck, it looks you are doing great!

This theme I made, for most basic stuff, it's just getting png's from some clean Gingerbread Rom like Nexus one's. For more concrete things like volume bar of description text, well you have to get into xml's and test, but not hard for someone like gabwerkz and some others.

No such files, atleast the one I'm using. I'll look into stock one, but I think they are important and should be there even in repacked ones if they are included indeed in Gingerbread. thanks for the advice tony.

I put the same images with the same size but with transparent background and restarted my mobile and doesn't turn on.
Can you help me by uploading a framework-res.apk with transparent backgroun, please?
