Hi @ all!
I recently switched from my good old Xperia Mini to my brand new Xperia SP:victory:
So as soon as I got root (thanks to DooMLoRD), I started to mod everything I disliked before. Like the white Phone apks, cause I really hate this new-fashioned "white-minimalistic design".
But there is still one thing I really liked on my Xperia Mini and which was removed on Android 4+
The gradient StatusBar!
How can I change my StatusBar Background from this simple black/grey panel:
{
"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"
}
To a more fancy black gradient one, like this?
I know it's about editing/decompiling the SystemUI.apk, but regarding this I have some questions:
Which xml in the res/drawable folder is the one I have to edit after decompiling (and how), so that it will use a png instead of a hex colour code?
Which folder is the relevant one for the Xperia SP? res/drawable_hdpi? res/drawable_xhdpi?
Whats the exact resolution of the png I have to create? Is it a solid one or tile-based?
Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to to get rid of this new-fashioned flatdesign. In my eyes it looks like made with MSPaint!
regards
SOEDI

First off i would like to thank poorlyduck for the graphics for the buttons found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405727 I saw his skin for the HTC dialer and I wanted to make one myself. The manila squares i "extracted" from a today theme tsk file but have no idea if it was created by someone or just one of many copies/variations floating around.
Well, these are the three colors i've made so far but i plan on making more colors and i can take requests if anyone actually likes it lol and even better if the request you up a pic of the color so i can make it the exact color so it can match whatever your tryin to match it with.
I havent tried them all out completely so if anyone notices any bugs or whatnot, just let me know and i'll see what i can do to fix it. This works for the HTC DIALER and I believe the Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer also.

Is there a way to get a black version ? Just like theblack keypad for entering SIM card's code.

original post over HERE
I made myself an icon pack to use with desktop visuliser
I just thought I would share it with you all
if I think of more to add I will do
there are lots icons to chose from
all you need to do is save them to a folder on your sd card
and point desktop visuliser to those icons
they are 110 x 122 size
I haven't included any bigger ones, because these are for my own personal use so i didnt bother with various sizes
thanks to Taine0 for the idea
and whoever made the various icons I downloaded from google images
anyway
here they are
I hope you enjoy them
p.s yes I have a thing for skulls which is why I kept the skull image on all files in the background
all files zipped HERE
you can also find these images on my dropbox gallery here
great icons ! will try them

how to modify the background of the notification switch button?
and where is the xml to modify the text color of download in progress?
thx
The quick panel icons are located in systemui.apk>drawable-hdpi.
The progress bar text. You need to decompile errrrrr... download provider apk and edit the colours xml located in values.

Hi everyone !
For those who searched and needed the HTC's logo font, I think I found the closest one.
I hope nobody posted it here, I didn't find it in my search.
I've just made a quick test, without photoshoping any letter, just the font, out of the box, to show you how close it is. (sorry for the mistake in the last word, really quickly done...)
Easily noticeable differences :
the h bar isn't high enough
the T is too much rounded
Here's my quick test :
{
"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"
}
The font can be downloaded from dafont.com. The name is arkitech.
I hope it will be useful.
Enjoy !
Resurrecting a zombie thread with a new comparison shot (and because I was looking for such a font):
Top text is the original logo, bottom is the text "hTc" in this font:
Double Rez:
To match this font to the original you need to make the "h" a little taller and bring the "c" in to the left slightly...I am about to make a black background splash screen, and needed to change the HTC green font to ICS blue.
Your screenshot does not work. But nice font
Using the Arkitech font+corrections
:good:
Nice
Hello people!! I want some help on theming my frameork-res.apk. I've done almost all things to look it like that of ICS, but now, the only thing I am stuck at is the Text Color of the Title of a dialog. I want to change it to blue like that of ICS.
I am talking about this:-
{
"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"
}
The above is the Dialog of the ICS Rom. Here, the text color of the Title of dialog is Blue. My framework-res.apk is from FroYo, so the Title text color of dialog is white there. This is thing I want to change.
I know that it's in values/styles.xml, but which style inside it?? I see "Theme.Dialog" inside it, there are the following lines:-
Which thing under this I need to modify?? Is that @style/TextAppearance" or "@color/primary_text_dark/light", etc.???
Pleeease Help Me!!! I am struggling since a week for this!! ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!!
Any help here?? Plz. help !!
Its important!!
Thanks.....
