Hey,
can someone tell me how i get the white notificationbar like in the older versions (froyo, eclair...)
i can´t find any post on the internet about that and an old theme does´nt work work for me...
sorry for my english
IF you are using CM based roms, the option is inbuilt to change your status bar colours.
IF you want to do it in a stock rom, you need to replace the png file "statusbar_background.9.png" in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder in the Systemui.apk app. You will also need to make xml and smali edits to make your text black so that it shows up on the white statusbar.
Hey all.... Question here I am trying to change the framework-res to get a custom background on the lockscreen (Droid X running the ROM apex 1.4.1)... I can download and decompile the xml through apk manager but has anyone ever successfully modded / hacked their lockscreen? I know some roms have custom lockscreens and sliders but its usually the ERI banner and updated sliders's .png files respectively rather than the lockscreen's xml itself I think. Any Input on this? Here is a link I found where someone did this with another phone: See dcore88's post below:
forum.samdroid.net/f57/change-lockscreen-background-framework-res-apk-4499/index2.html
Has anyone ever done this with their DX and if so HOW??
PS.( I KNOW widgetlocker does this... I do not like widgetlocker and don't want to use an external program as its for a theme so please don't post this as the answer .
Thanks in advance guys!
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

I have a similar problem for the common progress bar which im assuming is in framework. I have decompiled, changed images, recompiled but the images are still default green.
Im baffled...
Any theme guru out there to advise...?

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?

Look here for rosie modding - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210143
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

Nice one... only just seen your message lol
Fixed it as above
I'm looking to learn to theme. I've read all of the stickied posts at the top here, and have a basic understanding. What I really want to do is modify this theme to have these statusbar icons and this statusbar.
I decompiled the ICS theme using APK Manager. When I open the ICS theme, I go in and find "Statusbar_backgroung.png". Then I copy the statusbar from the labeled iphone theme (I resized it to 320x25px) and save it as the same, so I have replaced one with the other. However, there are like 3 or 4 statusbar.png's in the ICS theme, some are .9.png's. Also, the one that is just called "statusbar_background.png" in the original ICS theme is just a small block, and I am replacing it with one that is 320x25.
That is all I'm trying to do for now, just modify the statusbar of that theme. Once I get that working, I'll try the icons. My problem is it won't compile using APK manager once I've changed the statusbar. It starts, but then I get an error.
Did any of that make any sense? I must be tired...
I'm on Windows, and I've been trying to do this for ages.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, this is killing me!

Well, I have the ics theme, all I really want is the ICS Theme with the iPhone labeled theme statusbar and the suave miui theme statusbar icons. It would be much appreciated if you did it for me, but at the same time I want to learn so I can do it by myself in the future.
Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

Hi. I wanna ask if is it possible to change the clock font on the statusbar cm7. And I'm currently on squadzone cm7 RC5.7. I have a question. Is it the framework problem or something's else cause when I use tickle my android, the decompile and the recompile was sucess. And when I push it in I got a bootloop. Can anyone help me?
Well the easiest way to change font is to rename your desired font to the one used by the clock (mostly "Clockopia") and replace it by pushing to System/fonts and set permissions

If you have a bootloop, that's because you've got something wrong with your framework-res.apk. I'm guessing that you recompiled it but didn't prepare it. You have to prepare system files or they just won't work.
That said, decompiling files isn't the way to change your clock font. Tickle My Android does have an option for changing the clock font in the modifying menu, although I can't guarantee that it'll work on your CM7. If it doesn't, the best way is to look in /system/fonts and start replacing fonts. Hopefully, the font you need will have a fairly obvious name..

I did prepare system files but sometimes when I wanted to push it in, it says write only file system. How can I change it? And for the clock I've changed clokopia and one more I guess it's called honeycombAndroidClock.tff but all they change was only the lockscreen clock

Okay. I've downloaded rom toolbox pro and I tried to change my batt icon to ics with percentage. When I done install nothing happens. After a reboot, still nothing happens. Is this the right way to download it?

For changing battery and stuff its easier to use UOT Kitchen
I know uot kitchen is the best but I'm already on a ics rom. All I want is to change the batt icon. When I upload the framework and systemUI I got shtf file. All I can do is uploading the theme chooser theme. Unless I could find a theme chooser theme which it is pure and not modded before.

Hmm.. Tell you what, if you can share your files on the Tickle My Android thread, I can make this mod for you.
I can even take a look at changing your clock font. I'll just need to know what fonts you have in your Rom.
