Is there anyone that can tell me where to look for the PNG images that I would need to change in order to change the text message background and text color? I am using paranoid android hybred JB ROM and I want to change the color of the text messager to something like REMICS ROM. Any help would be great. I would love to use REMICS ROM but I like the tablet ui so I want to mod the colors to my liking thanks.

Hello,
I am on cyanogen 6 stable and rooted. I have been playing with looks to get my phone the way I want. I love that I can change the notification bar color with this rom. However,.i want to be able to change the color of the browser as well. Is there anyway to change the browser color?
Would I be able to just get the browser apk from a rom that I like the look of and push it to my phone? Would I be able to use a browser apk from a htc desire?
Thanks for the help
still looking for a solution to this issue, ideally I would just like a black framed browser.
Just like the subject says.
I am now running the leaked Gingerbread on my Droid X
I know when 3.4.2 was leaked it, the notification window was not transparent, and someone manipulated services.jar and then the transparent png in framework-res.apk would then show truely transparent or to the degree of transparency we wanted.
The lockscreen on GingerBread is slightly transparent, but not enough to see the wallpaper that is selected.
Does anyone know what controls this? Is this also located in services.jar?
I would be extremely grateful if I could get some assistance on this.
On 3.4.2, I combined the water-marked theme, Blueberry theme, and much of my own work and had my phone themed to my personal liking, and would like to complete that for GingerBread as well.
The non-transparency of the lock screen is bugging me and I bet i'm not the only one.

transparent level can be changed by changing background png.

My idea is to create a high contrast white theme, with pure white notification bar and pure white menu popup, and all pure black icons. (i got inspired by HerrKuk's screenshot)
The reason for this is that we're on an lcd device (and black doesn't get black).
When being on the amoled nexus one, there was a strong urge to get everything as black as possible, where as on the O2x, white would be the most battery friendly..
Stock android 2.2 is leaning towards that, but i just do not like the greyishness of stock.
Try SiMi clock with black text and white background and you'll get an idea of the final look that I'm after..
But, the framework needs black text on notification bar to get this theme on stock or paul's rom. I do not know how to do that.
I guess from vanilla rom it would be a walk in the park because it would only need the gray png's tweaked to white, but the handy power widget control for the notification area is not in vanilla android, and I cannot live without it.
Can anybody help me out by either porting power control to vanilla rom, or by changing the framework text on paul's rom to black?
That would be awesome

lol, 18 months ago we were working out how to change the text to white to use with black notification bars on stock Android...
It can be done, you need to make changes in framework-res.apk xml and services.jar code.
Know how to use apktool (here and here) and smali/baksmali (here)? That's where you need to start.
Once you've got that I can show you where... you'll need these skills if you want to do deep theming anyway.
Sounds great!

Cheers mate, I'll look into it and see if I can get my head around it..
I would like those skills, I just need the time to learn them..
Since I'm impatient I will do up an simple version based off the vanilla rom to start with, and then see if I can do the xml and jar edits for the black bar later
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.
Anyone knows if there's a way to change the sms skin with a mod?
I have ICS 4.0.3 on Samsung Galaxy S2.
I'm using Vertemus theme mod but i wont change the sms theme.. could you help me?
