Theme question. Status Bar and default wallpaper. - Captivate Themes and Apps

I'm putting together a theme for a KJ3 Gingerbread ROM I'm building and having a couple issues. I cannot get the status bar to change at all. I've got a status bar image sitting in framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and it is still solid black. I cannot figure out what I need to change to use the custom image.
Second question is how to set the default wallpaper. I have default_wallpaper.jpg in framework-res.apk but every time I flash my ROM zip, it uses the default Samsung Blue Sea Live wallpaper. Any ideas on how I can change the default?
Sorry, this is the first ROM I'm actually putting together myself.

del bluesea so the default_wallpaper.jpg can be show but lockscreen wallpaper change to black

You have to also edit the xml to change the status bar.
SystemUi/layout/statusbar.xml I believe.

1. In framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml there are two things to look at; the line with
Code:
android:id="@id/title"
controls the title of the notification. "android:textColor" is what you need to modify, and the format of the number is "#AARRGGBB"
2. Then there is the line with
Code:
android:id="@id/text"
which controls the description of the notification. Do the same thing you did with the title.
Here's a screenshot, the numbers correspond with the item that I talked about above.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

default wallpaper fix
[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
First you will have to put the wallpaper in framework res. Drawablehdmi. And name it default wallpaper.
Then go in the strings XML
Search for wallpaper
It will be set to a live wallpaper
Change that to @null
Now on first boot you will have your default wallpaper set.

I sent you a response back. My status bar is still black after changing this so I may have to send you my file and have you take a look. I appreciate your help.

It is in the layout folder of systemui,statusbar xml.i believe its line 1 and 19 that need edited there is either a hex color of ff000000 a or a ref. To black but it had to be changed to a drawable so it points to the .9 .i will look when I get home.

Sorry I should have stated that I did change the xml but it's still black. It may be due to an improper .9 image. I will try a different one tonight and see if it works.

You are correct, that is what I told him to do. He said it didn't work and he has a hypothesis of why it won't, the .9.png thing. If that doesn't fix it then I just want to take a look at his SystemUI.apk 'cause I don't feel like guessing and trying all these different "fixes".

same png image has to be change to a transparent one...

Just as an update, I was able to get the status bar working finally after finding a proper status bar image, thanks to DemonWav.
Also, thanks again to TRusselo for showing me the way for the default wallpaper.

[THEME][PORT] Frost v2.0

EDIT - Updated post with working zip - EDIT
I've ported over the Frost theme, made by sonnysekhon for the HTC Desire. I went with that one since I'm personally not a circle battery fan. I added a couple pieces of work in here and there, but nothing major. I'd also like to take the time to thank fritzgerald for helping me with some smali edits. Thanks!
I've built this theme on top of Assonance 4.3, I'd assume it would work on all versions of Assonance (or any JK3 ROM for that matter) but I can't say for sure.
Here are some screenshots, downloads for the theme, and for the icons and wallpapers supplied by the original author are attached:

Sorry. You need to decompile the APK first. Use APK Manager or apktool. If you simply try to extract the APK you wont see it. After you make your changes and recompile the APK it's all located in the resources.arsc. Messing with the xmls especially in the values folder you'll want to make sure you back up. I crashed my phone tons of times while learning that portion.

I downloaded the current zip on the OP. Installed every time for me. Are you installing with CWM Recovery or stock recovery?
Running CWM, maybe it's just my phone :/
Now I'm getting stuck in a bootloop and my Nandroid b/u won't restore. Awesome...
(FYI, this was from working on twframework-res.apk, nothing to do with the theme posted in this thread)
I've made some changes to the framework and twframework files to get rid of the white text on the notification drop down as well as the blue text in the settings menu. Anyone willing to test out? I know the settings menu change works but I'm not sure on the drop down. I'm not running this ROM so it crashes my phone if I try to apply it.

Far from a noob, but need some theming assistance...

Hi.
This thread was initially about changing the font colour which I have since achieved, but run in to a couple more issues that I can't seem to figure out. The image I've used for my notification area is set at 80% transparency in photoshop, but when viewed on the phone it's a solid image. I've tried creating a new image but get the same result.
I've used an image from my other theme which shows the transparency on my other theme but not this. I've used an image from another theme which in their screenshot shows transparency, but doesn't in mine. I thought it might be the services.jar, but having used the one from the other theme it's still the same, solid black on my phone, so I'm a little stumped?
I've also changed the stat_notify_sms image in contacts.apk, but it shows the default image when I get a message?
Like I said I'm not a noob, but could do with some pointers or suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the link, but I've still not managed to change it. Look at the image, to add code after the next instance of 00 00 1c puts me on the next line, when I do that I just get boot loops.
Sorted it, finally. I pulled each statusbar file from layout and went through them, so I've sorted the statusbar and the notification area. Could you point me in the direction of the operator text in the notification area?

Need a touch more help, in my eagerness to change the font colour I've changed something but don't know what. The image I've used for the notification backdrop I've set at 80% transparency, but on the phone it's showing as a solid image? which obviously isn't the look I'm after.
Any help as always, will be much appreciated.

Hi.
Had to to start from scratch due to Zdzihu releasing a beta2 for the X10, but this time round I'm having new trouble, I've edited the files but my operator text and clock is still showing black text. Can someone take a look at my files, I've checked and double checked but still I've got black text. Any help would be much appreciated.
I've attached my statusbar xmls from layout and my smali files.

Thanks, but the reason I'm asking is because I have already changed my smali file to white, but see no change, where as before I did, and I've changed my files in res/layout too, and while my notifications are white, the carrier remains gray, and can't figure out why it worked before but isn't doing now.
Thanks for the link, but doesn't really help me understand what the problem is now.

Sorry, i thought point 3 might have helped.
You could try applying the original framework, see if changes apply, then re-applying your mod again.
I resolved a similar issue a few days back with that method, seems it just needed a kick up the arse.

That's why I've uploaded the files hoping some could take a look because I've changed every file like I did before, but the clock and the carrier text refuses to change, and don't really want to start from scratch for a third time.
As far as i know from cooking themes for dell streak, the rom itself needs to be set to allow transparent status bar etc... i presume you're working on the x10? If so to set the rom you're bootloader would have to be unlocked to customise a deoxidised rom, then you can have transparent built into themes. Please correct me if I'm wrong, its info i have read and hopefully will help you too

Hi.
I'm not trying to make the statusbar transparent, I'm trying to make the statusbar font white, but what worked for me before just isn't working now and I can't figure it out. Any one who checks the files I've uploaded can see they have all been edited accordingly but the font colour just wont change.
The rom I'm trying mod is in beta stage 2, and the reason I'm having to start again is because the services.jar has changed from beta 1, and having changed the only instance of 0x100 in StatusBarIcon.smali, nothing is changing, so think I maybe missing something, but need a theming pro to take a look and point out what that might be. I've followed stericsons guide, I've watched TheFXNs vid, I've read dullys link, none of which are of any help with this issue, because I know I've edited what needs editing, but still stuck with black font in the statusbar.
There's a $10 or £5 donation for anyone who helps resolve this as I'm past the point of frustration now.

i just changed my carrier label and moved it to the right, i also got rid of the clear button.
in the systemUI.apk if you decompile in the status_bar_Expanded.xml you can change the front size to 0 to get rid of the carrier label
Or, if you want to change it to something else, then you need to decompile framework-res.apk and edit the eri.xml located in res > xml > eri.xml.

In my case, it doesn't work to change the font size to 0. The carrier also belongs on top of the notification bar.

I know that, but what I was trying was to keep the clear button where it was and get rid of the carrier label, I think it is probably because the clear button isn't shown constantly that it caused the issue

The failure is that apk-manager_4.9 or At&T doesn't compile my changes in SystemUI.apk
They use the original status_bar_expand.xml, so i can't see any difference :/
I don't know why. Maybe i have to update android-sdk?! Maybe someone can take a look at the SystemUI.apk i posted above and change the carrier and clear button for test?

Even this is possible. Keep clear button where it is and only move carrier.

Assistance needed - Editing framework-res.apk

I need some help in figuring out what images to edit in my framework-res.apk . I do not like the background for the notifications found in a theme i downloaded from the market for CM7 . I used UOT to make a framework-res.apk file (Custom Theme) and i want to use that image for the background . So i am using a self updated version of apk Manager to extract and sign my apks . but i can not for the life of me figure out which file controls the background for notifications . Can anyone shed a little light on the subject for me ? Ive googled and i found one thread stating that all png's for the status bar must be edited . but i find that not helpful as i dont know which pngs are in controll of the status bar and notifications background . I appreciate all help given ! Btw i appologize if im in the wrong section .
can you post a pic of what exactly you want to change? i have answers...but just want to be on the same page as you.
As you can see , my notifications window is brought down by dragging the status bar down . I hate that ugly background in the notifications window . I want to change it . But can't figure out how . Btw I failed to mention this is a theme I downloaded .

those are in the system ui apk, not framekworks.
like the pic with is shade_bg.
however, to change those remember you need to change the theme's apk, not your system as themechooser in cm7 supercedes the system.
cheers.

AHA ! You are amazing . I cant believe its named shade_bg like i was looking for something along the lines of notifications_background or notifs_bg or something that makes more sense xP that worked btw . now i have another question for you Since youre amazingly smartical !!
Here is a picture of the default theme . Notice where my toggle buttons are (at the top) its a solid background . But where my actual notifications are its not solid . Is this controlled by an xml ? i took apart the default SystemUI.apk and looked at the shade_bg and it is the same throughout(i figured the top of the image was solid and the rest was transparent)
it would make things easier if you drew on the picture so i knew exactly what you are looking at.
if you are talking about the area around the words "no service" and "ongoing" the background is a .9.png but i forget which - however, i have never seen it transparent.
the green bars can be removed with xml editing.
the white bg of the "auto-rotate switch" is a .9.pngs.
all the lettering is in xml/ colors.
the best idea (when i was making these) is to make things outlandish colors, compile and see what it looks like.

Hey thanks for the reply ! I actually looked at the xml and it used a different png . The name was like statusbar_background.png or something like that
. And my theory was correct . Just the top of the image is solid making the background of the toggle buttons solid . And thanks for that think gives me something more to tinker with :-D
Speaking of tinkering , I was messing around with uot and I wanna get the animated background for the notifications . I tried uploading my themes apk but when I tried switching to the uot theme themeChooser said the theme was incorrectly compiled therefore I could not use it . Do you know how I can edit the xml of my theme to give it the animated background ? I uploaded my systemUI and then took it apart to see how it does the animations . And its a series of .png images . But I don't know what modifications are needed to my themes xml to get the animations working . Thanks again for all your help ! You are truly a theme master :-D

I don't have an exact answer. What files are you seeing as part of the animation? Also, often they are controlled by an XML in the drawable folder (not the hdpi one.) I have changed some animations but not am expert. I would search the thread I gave you to see if possible.

[MOD/THEME] NMF26F | Various Framework-res Accent Colors

Framework-Res Colors​
These are for Nexus 6P running build NMF26F ONLY.
These are not full-blown themes. I've just changed the four accent color values.
These four accent color values change the color of things like the Setting icons, volume sliders, various radio buttons, the wait/loading circle, the app drawer quick-scroll button and Search text (if you're using the Pixel Launcher and probably the Google Launcher), toggle switches, and a few other things.
Zips Contain:
- framework-res.apk with the following mods:
Your chosen accent color
Blue (I realize there are already blue versions floating around. It just felt weird not to include what is a lot of people preferred color.)
Red
Purple
Green
Yellow/Orange (I'd originally made two, but I could hardly tell the difference. I can make a darker more distinct orange if anybody wants that. Let me know.)
Pink
Cyan
Dynamic Navbar
Navbar set at 33dpi height (smaller than stock)
Credit
@gerard_f - I reversed engineered, so to speak, his framework-res.apk, and from there discovered where to change the accent colors.
@idid idamrep - Dynamic Navbar how-to
How To
Using apktool, or a similar piece of software, go to /res/values/colors.xml
Find these lines:
Code:
<color name="accent_device_default_700">#ffdb1b1e</color>
<color name="accent_device_default_light">#fff85a5c</color>
<color name="accent_device_default_dark">#ffb1070a</color>
<color name="accent_device_default_50">#ffe6a0a1</color>
default_700 - I believe this is what is used for the settings icons, for example.
default_light - I'm not sure where this is used.
default_dark - I believe this is used for the volume sliders, for example.
default_50 - this is used as the background for the toggle switches, for example.
- Change the values to whatever colors you'd like.
- There are many other values you can change. I've only listed the values that I changed.
- You can get color codes from plenty of websites. I use this one.
Can I please make more with different colors?
Maybe, but don't hold me to that. There are millions of colors in the spectrum and I can't realistically make every color someone could possible want.
I will say this... If I get enough request for the same color(ish), I will make one with that color(ish).
If you request a color, the ideal thing would be for you to provide me with an exact color code.
Red, for example, can mean one of hundreds of red variations. I can't possibly know what "red" looks like in your mind.
Green | Yellow | Pink | Cyan

Please hit the "Thanks" button if you download and rock one of these apks. It only takes half a second.
very cool
Other than the stock blue, the red looks best.
Thanks for this work. If I decide to flash one of the zips included, I'll check back.
Thanks for your time and effort.

Tried the red, looks great. Could we have red with stock height nav bar or a little bigger at least... fatfingers

If you post your framework-res.apk, I'll make one for you. Let me know which color you want.

I would like blue.
I uploaded it since I can't upload through XDA because of the 20mb file size limit

Here you go! Let me know that it works.
I would highly recommend you have a full back-up ready just in case something goes wrong as I am unable to test this zip. It should be perfectly fine, but stranger things have been known to happened.
I assumed you wanted the 33dpi navbar as well; however, if you discover that you hate it, let me know and I'll make a normal height navbar for you.
I'd rather you not share it with others in your Pixel community. Instead, direct them to this post, or this thread so they can discover how to design theirs themselves. Thank you.
FOR PIXEL PHONES (NOT SURE WHICH ONE) ONLY. DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE A NEXUS 6P OR ANY OTHER PHONE.
Stupid question: how did you get your changes to SystemUI and Framework-Res to stick? I tried modifying SystemUI using apktool and baksmali and I can't seem to get my modifications to work correctly, and I end up having to restore to a backup because if I flash back to stock SystemUI the app keeps crashing upon reboot. Thanks in advance!

If I had to guess I'd say that's a signature issue. All /system apps need to have the same signature. You can either take the Meta-inf and Android.Manifest.xml files from the stock apk and put them in your modified apk replacing the ones that are already in your modified apk, or the easier way, IMO, when you recompile the apk using apktool, use the "-c" command at the end. For example: apktool b SystemUI -c
The -c makes the compiler keep the same signature as the original apk.

You beautiful shark, you. That was definitely it. Thanks so much.
PS: The blue looks fantastic. Thanks for these accent colors!
@sharkie405
Could you please make a blue one, like Pixel phone to my Moto G 2014?
Lineage OS 14.1 01/26 build NMF26V
Here's my framework-res:
https://mega.nz/#!lAMT0ByJ!V4QzCyvxZ6D7aw9qc-fbtWt4aqaGvTBfRR4MqF4Jq6w
PS: I can't upload because it's too big.
Will this be updated to support 7.1.2?
I can't seem to figure out how to change those color accents to pixel blue. I dont know which lines to modify in the xml files of framework-res.
