Editing Phone.apk - guidance needed - Galaxy Ace S5830i General

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section, i went with this forum because it's more a developer thing.
I'm wanting to get started on playing (you call it modding/developing, i call it "seeing what happens") with a rom to eventually get my own made (im a newb, dont worry devs....
I started looking into "Phone.apk", ive decompiled it and i wish to change the colours of 1: the tabs along the top and 2: the number buttons 1 - #...do i do this via editing an image in /res/drawable-mdpi(etc) or via xml? if the latter, which xml. Also, i've opened one of the .xml's in Notepad++ and all i get is:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

This thread is not development related. Do not post in the wrong section in the future.

And you wonder why people post in Development section......

[Help] Changing Latitude Font Color

How would I go about changing the colors of the text in Latitude? I'm guessing that I would have to edit the XML, but I wasn't really too sure what was going on when I opened it up in a Hex Editor.
Basically I just want to change the person's name and the subtext, the location, to white.
Anyone...?
Can someone please help?

Thanks Rori, but I'm actually using Metamorph. I just need someone to help me edit the XML as I don't really understand the binary code affecting the colors.
I'm guessing the files I need to edit are:
friend_item_text_color.xml
friend_item_text_color_secondary.xml
Can anyone please help?
Bump Bump...

Am I posting this in the wrong forum?
As the other poster said, use apktool (apktool d *apk* *directory*). This will decompile the apk into human legible text, which you can then edit (I'm assuming the widget text will be kept somewhere in re/layout). After making your changes, recompile using apktool (apktool b *directory*), place the changed xml in the metamorph. Done

I may be wrong I have a very limited amount of theming know how. But I believe you would need to edit status_bar_horizontal.xml (I think that's what it is called)
Like I said I may be wrong but at least this will give the thread a bump.
Ok,I will try and tell.

Forget everyhting I said, I'm wrong I never opened the picture untill just now and from the thumb nail I thought it was a picture of you notification bar and was showing download progress. Sorry I'm an idiot.
but I still think its an xml file your looking for
Looking at Dont Panic's morphs my guess would be progress_horizontal.xml in /res/drawable.
Thanks man.
Got it.

I've been looking everywhere and I think that TeslaCoil needs to update Widgetlocker before having ring sliders, so there's no way to that yet.
Yup,gotta take this to kevin..but i think for him stock roms come first and then custom...so not sure if he'll add the ring locks
I already asked him on Twitter....but he seemed to ignore my question

systemui.apk modded for a510

I have modded systemui.apk of this rom: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1273404
How does it change?
1. add 3minitbatterysetting to rom.
2. move wifi and signal icon to the left
3. mod unlock phone by using fingerprint without checking security. That means you open you phone at once not using pattern or password
4. Recent apps background is round.
here are some pics for my work.
