Could someone please tell me where the files that control the Keypad, Recent, Favorites and Contacts button shading on the are located in 2.3.3 Gingerbread? I want to change the selected and pressed colors of these buttons but can't seem to find where these files are. below is a picture of what I am trying to achieve. Currently my colors are blue but I want to make them the gray depicted in the attached image. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, sorry if this has already been posted somewhere but a search did not reveal anything.

Contacts tab is in dialer.. dialer_tab* something
The first 3 would make ur tab look to change overall. e.g. contacts.apk, task manager etc

Hey guys, I know this has been posted before, and i feel bad for making a new topic about it, but i've tried searching and cannot for the life of me find the topic. I don't even know the proper keyword to search.
Anyways an answer would be greatly appreciated.
In the touchflo 3d tabs, I know how to change the main wallpaper, but how do i put individual wallpapers for each tab?
Do i need 3rd party software? or is it a reg edit?
Thanks in advance!
no one can help me out????

hmm, thanks for replying, although it didn't really provide a solution to my question.
is there even a solution or it's not possible?
Do you mean the few dark grey squares in the backgroud that show in different tabs? My belief is that you can't change the wallpaper there because it's not a simple wallpaper image file that is there (my belief is the background is built up by one single square image file). But you can change the color of the squares (from grey to red or blue) or outlook of individual squares (from rectagle to circle, maybe? but it may look silly to do so).
Well at least not for now, but I am sure somebody is hacking the phone hard enough to make it happen one day .
you need manila editor to change the square appearance, btw. Look for the "square" image file in manila editor and change it to whatever color/shape you like. Try, if you don't like it. Switch it back.
i cant find the background for "all programs" in both list view and grid... does anyone know where they are located? preferable grid
and also the background for the all programs header.. i cant seem to find that either!
thanks!
edit*
let me add the background for the smaller people widget i cant find that either lol
maybe no one knows and thats why these arnt changed in other themes? lol
No, I've searched it myself and can't find an answer.
oh thanks for trying!
i wanted to change the background of the programs list also, never found the corresponding image file. please let us know if you find it.
Not sure if i understood this correctly but background for grid view in Launcher ? have a look at pattern_carbon_fiber_dark.png in drawable. Don't use rosie anymore, insteaded i swapped Launcher.apk with advanceLauncher.apk found in the dream section.

this seems to be the right file for the android stock launcher, since we are talking about rosie/sense launcher this doesn't help... thanks for the hint though.

this might be all_programs_header_title.9.png. at least the name suggests it
afaik you can't just alter these *.9.png files, but you'd need to look that up if it doesn't work.

thanks everyone! maybe il put together a list of where everything is...
and well im not sure but for anyone else who doesnt bother editing .9.png, i find that if the file covers a whole box (like a header) instead of covering part of a box(like bottom rosie buttons) then you can easily change colour by:
(using photoshop)
- create new layer on top of image
- paint it what ever colour
- right click the layer and bring down the transparency so you can see the detail
... this has never given me problems
Hey All,
after following this Forum for quite a while and getting tons of helpful Infos, i need your help now.
I have installed a Custom Rom on my X1.
After 2 Days of tweaking Themes, Screens etc., there is one Problem left and i really want to get rid of this(!!) :
In the lower right corner of the Display (in Homescreen,Lockscreen etc. ...),
i always get a small text of the Rom-Version Info.
Is it possible to remove this text or change the color?
The text is colored white or bright grey.
Found nothing in *.cpr files.
Perhaps in Registry?
Changing Color of Wallpaper is no solution, cause i'm using black or dark Images
Hope u can help me!
(Sry for my english, i'm german... )

Try to look at:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Device Beta]
"Today"= --> delete the value if exist.
Thanks a lot!
It`s working after off/on or softreset.
Have a nice evening...

I'm using one of the stock HTC Sense 2.5 skins as a basis for a custom skin. I'm using apktool to access the files and build my updated apk file. I've found a lot of the the things I want to replace, but I'm a bit stumped on where to find some of the button backgrounds and background panels (I don't see anything that looks exactly like these in any of the subfolders for the skin I'm working with). I'm attaching two screen shots with big orange arrows pointing to the specific parts I'm looking for. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can point me to where these items are located and what they are called.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Id say look in the htccamera.apk, framework, settings, htc res or system ui! Its so hard to find the correct png from all the different locations? Ive been in & out of the Rom frameworks & have modded my phone ui but those ones dont ring a bell sorry mate
Thanks. I hadn't thought of checking any of those files since these specific items seem to change according to the skin. I'll dig through them (especially the framework one, and see what I can find).
I am also interested in modify icons (specialy on my home screen) and cud you tell me what soft to use? Tku in advance

Hello,
I would like to change color of highlighting numbers in SMS messages but I'm lost and not able to find a right place where to change it. I looked at framework-res.apk and also com.htc.resources.apk but no luck. See attached image, if not clear what I was talking about. Does anybody know where I can change such color, please?
Thanks for any help.
I am asking a similar question about theming and how to change the selected / highlighted "text color" when "cutting and pasting", searching or selecting a link in my browser.
Specifically for Sense ROMS 2.1 or 3.0 with GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. The T-Mobile HTC MyTouch theme called "Safari" has everything blue for the text selections and highlights, and want to have this same feature on a standard HTC ROM. Not a green color fan.
Looking for what *.xml file controls this in the framework files?
Is this XML in the
com.htc.resources.apk
framework-res.apk
files?
Again, trying to do the same thing, to learn which xml file controls this.
TIA

Those color codes will be in the messaging apk not the the framework or the resources. HTC has many color codes over writting each other. I would start in the messaging app.
These color codes are MOSTLY in the framework files, otherwise when you change skins they would always be the same green. This is not the case. Try it yourself with a different skin other the the HTC default.

I know about themes more then you think. I don't use the stock SMS app so not so sure about that one but before you say I should try it have a look at the SS. I know my way around the framework enough to change everything.
