[Q] How do you theme Captivate notification bar?

I have JI6 (unofficial froyo) version of Captivate (i897)...
I like to theme the notification bar (Transparent, icons, etc.) without any ROM.
I have tried Cognition ROM, but random shutdown was killing me...
So, anyone know how?
by SDK/ADB, root manager, metromorph, Odin, or whatever you can do - THAT WORKS!!!

It depends on what you want and where you want it. Certain changes require changes to the xml codebehind and some do not. It is not as easy as it may seem for the average user.

You have to use winrar to open the theme or rom you are using.go to the twframework-res.apk.open that DO NOT UN ZIP ANYTHING!! then look for status bar background.9 drag and drop onto desk top or folder whatever then edit in photoshop or whatever you have and put back save and put it back in the folder.If I can get by a computer today there is thread out the will tell you do to do it that is big help.I you have some problems I can do some editing for you but would have to wait until I get home I am out of town.oh and when you put the edit status backgroung.9 back into the zip file make sure it is stored and compressed

Along this same line of questioning........
All I want to do is remove the transparency from the notification drop down in my current rom / theme. Is there a single value in an xml file to adjust this feature?

It's a .png that you'll need to change the opacity of.

Thanks for the thread been looking for something like that but someone psoted somethign saying that you had to use a cpativate rom for it because the i9000 roms have different file types in them

Now there is theme kitchen, upload a apk and you can apply themes. Then after some time, you get a new apk in a cwm flashable zip.

[Q] Need to locate these files? Help please

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 changed the button press & also found the common_progress_full.9.png from another rom but if you or anyone else can post your common_progress_full.9.png (in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi) so i can try there one cause the progress bar isnt looking normal? it looks mis-shapen? Thanks again

What Rom are you using? Could you upload your SystemUI, so I can take a look

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?

Hope this helps

Fixed it as above

<-=Themes for any rom's dialer=->

New lime colored dialer theme added which matches with our latest google play layout
Dont we like rose??
then why dont we try rose coloured dialer..
Numbers are clearly opaque on red dialer pad & i would like to share dialer.apk file but it may not compatible with your roms thus you will need to follow the given steps
1.install Ninjamorph from google play
2.download the given .zip file & extract it
3.start ninjamorph->starts check->new project->system->apps->DialerTabActivity.apk wait untill it decompiles the apk then go back
4.Now open a file explorer, copy the extracted pngs from downloaded zip file & paste them in AndroidThemes/Workspace/DialerTabActivityapk/res/drawable-mdpi/
5.Open Ninjamorph click on finish project->DialerTabActivityapk->wait until the apk is compiled->click yes->then click No->click again No
finally Done!!! check for the dialer with new Icon in your apps drawer
(If you dont like the new dialer you can find your old dilaer in /AndroidThemes/Backups/DialerTabActivity.apk)
Hope you all like it

Theming JWB 2.3.6 ROM (lockscreen etc.) - need help

Hello. I am new in Android developing. I want to start from somethink "easy".
I just downloaded 2.3.6 JWB firemware with Semaphore kernel and i want to edit is.
I need help with this. My first think to edit is lockscreen. I want to Change font and center the clock but i dont know which files to edit.
Also in "MesoROM" i saw that lockscreen circle is changed to animated one (like s3 mini and other samsung devices with ICS/JB).
Anyone can help me to make this or to PORT this lockscreen from jw8 rom to jwb?
Also i want to make theme 'like s4' but also i dont know how to do it. Edit images isnt problem, XML is harder (i dont know which file to edit). I know HTML, CSS, PHP. I even used to "touch" C++, Java Sccript and XML so i can teach everythink verry fast. Just need some tutorial or a person who can be my "MASTER" :]
Please anserw this thread or message me :]

I have few questions. If anyone could anserw would be great.
1. How to change "auto rotation" togfle to "mobile data"
2. How to move "clear" button from carrier laber bar to the notification bar like in newest galaxy s series devices. I saw this in saurom and ana rom and cant make myself
3. Wchich file is the lockscreen xml file to change font etc.
Thanks

I will upload a decompiled systemui and you can browse through it and see where everything is but most will be in res\drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 on a stock Note 4 rom and the icons in the status bar start with "stat_sys"
here is the file its in zip format but is not usable so just unzip its from 5.1.1-N910W8VLU1COK3 but all are pretty much the same, also if you want to change colours and position of icons you will need to decompile the apk easiest program I have ever used is Tickle My Android which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333
systemui zip is here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478675087

Hi...understood, thanks for the answers.
I also digged my hands in apkstudio, apk signing and zipaliging processes and managed to achieve thos and even tweak some aps
