Hey guys....
How many of you'll would like to learn how to edit the background of apps with ur favorite images instead of sick black color.....
and here is the solution....
first decompile framework-res.apk either with apktool or apk manager
den hav three different pictures (potrait and landscape)
now place a picture in the drawable two pictures of landscape orientation in drawable land and two pictures in drawable ldpi hdpi or wat ever ur mobile supports
name then properly such as name the image in drawable folder as back_dark and in the rest land and ldpi folders name the images as back_dard,back_bright respectively
next comes the major part :|
go to "values"--> "drawables" and rename
Code:
name="screen_background_dark">#ff0000</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light">#ff0011</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_dark_transparent">#ff0000</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light_transparent">#ff0000</drawable>
(the color codes which i gave in the above is not the original code just for an example i wrote some code )
the above lines into
Code:
<drawable name="screen_background_dark">@drawable/back_dark</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light">@drawable/back_bright</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_dark_transparent">@drawable/back_dark</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light_transparent">@drawable/back_bright</drawable>
Save the file and compile the framework-res.apk

Hi all.
I want to try modify background pictures on menu, settings, phone and other in dafault themes, but i don't find DefaultThemes.apk in system folder on my Xperia T. What files are modify to change the background.
On my other phone Arc S, i change these pictures in exactly this file DefaultThemes.apk in folder res/drawable-hdpi but now i am .
Not sure, but maybe somewhere in system/vendor.. Try looking in system/vendor/overlay/framework
Yes, they're in framework folder.
Yes, I will find and will trying to change it, when I have a free time.
Thanks you again

Re: How to modify themes background in menu and setings?
In Jelly Bean I don't see these files to change backgrounds on dialpad, menu settings, message or phonebook from white color to another or other picture, for example.
If anybody know, please post answer.

Try the system/app directory. There's BlackTheme.apk etc..
Why not make a theme, like the Sony theme, that does this?

Look in SemcGenericUxpRes again .
/res/drawable-xhdpi/semc_bg_tile.png for dark apps (like settings) and semc_bg_bright_tile.png for white apps (like phonebook/dialer)
I'm away from my computer so I can't check for sure, but in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi (or whatever is closest to that, I can't remember exactly), there are a couple default background .png's, a light and a dark I think. Not sure if Xperia uses those, but it might work if you modify them.
EDIT: Looks like TiMiN8R beat me, and probably with a more correct response! Didn't notice there was another page started, lol.

For the statusbar modify SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml. Look for android:background="[some_value]", and modify whatever is in quotes.
I haven't touched the navigation bar, so I can't help with that. Probably a similar process, though.

if you just want to change the background dark and bright only. you just need to add two png files with names :
- semc_bg_tile.png (for dark like setting menu)
- semc_bg_bright_tile.png ( for light as contacts background)
- recommended resolution is 1280x1280
Note : two png files above, function to automatically replace the png files in SemcGenericuxpres.apk when you change theme
How to (JB) :
1. Take one "theme.apk" from system/app (example : orangetheme.apk).
2. decompile theme.apk
3. copy two png file to res/drawable-xhdpi.
4. go to res/values and open public.xml
5. adding lines : add two line below "line" drawable and make sure the id number sequence with the id number above
6. recompile
Here is Public.xml :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<public type="drawable" name="semc_theme_lockscreen_wallpaper" id="0x7f020000" />
<public type="drawable" name="semc_theme_preview" id="0x7f020001" />
<public type="drawable" name="semc_theme_wallpaper" id="0x7f020002" />
[COLOR="Blue"]<public type="drawable" name="semc_bg_bright_tile" id="0x7f020003" />
<public type="drawable" name="semc_bg_tile" id="0x7f020004" />[/COLOR]
<public type="color" name="semc_theme_accent_color" id="0x7f030000" />
<public type="color" name="semc_theme_illumination_color" id="0x7f030001" />
<public type="string" name="semc_theme_title" id="0x7f040000" />
</resources>
I hope this can help you and others are right, especially for who don't know

THESE FILES WERE MADE FOR A REALLY OLD BASE (4.4.2). Do NOT FLASH THE FILE FOR ANY OTHER VERSION OF ANDROID SINCE IT CONTAINS AN OLDER VERSION OF default.xml. I'm leaving them attach for reference if anyone wants to manually make the edits on the latest and greatest version of their ROM. I also did not come with this mod, but ported it over from the source link below. If 4G is not working, then there is a problem with init.d in your ROM. Download and install script manager to manually run the script, as mentioned in the instructions below.
So, I finally got native hotspot working on the M8 by following the guide in the M7 thread posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474432
This mod requires you to have root access and an init.d capable kernel. Alternatively, you can download script manager and have it run at boot or modify your install-recovery.sh file located in /system/etc.
This is confirmed working for both 3G and 4G connections.
Step 1) Flash attached zip file.
If 4G Hotspot doesn't work do the following:
Optional Alternate Method #1 after installing zip file to use with Script Manager
Step 1) Download Script Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
Step 2) Open up Script Manager and navigate to /system/etc/init.d and select the "tether" script.
Step 3) Click on SU and Boot (Android Skull and Gear Icons, respectively) and click on run and save.
Optional Alternate Method #2 after installing zip file to edit your install-recovery.sh
Modify your install-recovery.sh referenced in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51796802&postcount=21
Please note that this will overwrite any mods that you may have done to your default.xml. Here are the changes that were made:

Can you force your phone to 3G and check to see if it works just to rule out the setup? Go to Settings, Mobile Data, Network Mode, and change to CDMA only.

Nm..I must be really sleepy. Just noticed it was an m7.
For a very long time, HTC phones don't tether 4g data using the hacked native Hotspot. Even back in the OG Evo, WiMax days. Somehow, it seems like HTC/Sprint still has a lock on that.
I'm not saying that it is impossible, but @Ph33zy, don't think that you're doing something wrong. That's just the way it is.

Yea, I knew some of them were default, but forgot what I changed since I was already in bed. The easiest thing to do at the time was search for "tether" and post all the lines.
Didn't mean to remove those as I think they correspond to NFC and Sync All. I was trying to get rid of finger scanner, which I accidentally added, but I guess I deleted the wrong one. I should've deleted 23.
