Theming JWB 2.3.6 ROM (lockscreen etc.) - need help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[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] Is there any SGS i9000 ROM (stock or custom) without clock in the status-bar?

I need a help. Could someone tell me where can I find a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 without the clock in the status bar? I found some threads about how can I get rid of the clock in the status bar but I can`t really do that. Every time I am flashing the file the phone will not reboot till the end and vibrating. I tried on many ROMs (stock and custom) but was not successful? Help please
Clock as in what sort of clock round clockface or the stock android digital time .

Stock Android digital clock. Sorry for not being precise in formulation.
You don't need a special rom for that. There are themes in the Themes and Apps forum which don't have the clock. Black Android comes to mind...

Thanks. The Black Android is not working. It makes dialer and other apps disappear but clock is there forever. Others the same. I have used the flash files that can be found on XDA but the phone will not reboot (vibrating).
Why a developers of custom ROMs do not want to exclude the stock Android clock in status bar? Is it that hard or there is only me who do not want to have a double clock when looking on the screen? Maybe someone did it already but I can`t find it?
Very sad. Nobody knows what ROM can it be? :-(
every Rom has the Clock...
because it only could be in the same colour as the status bar to make it disaper.. D
to remove it completly would be very hard..
Someone made a standalone mod to disable the clock in the status bar.
I remember trying it out, then reverting because i actually wanted to see the time while apps were in the foreground.
Check the Themes & Apps section.

Thanks to "azzledazzle" for help and to all XDA developers and users.
"azzledazzle" gave me the file for JPY ROM.
This is step by step manual (partly copy-paste): This will work only for JPY ROMs
First of all you need to be rooted and deodexed.... (for that I used http://romkitchen.org/ Thanks to DocRambone, Stefunel, and all others. Sorry if did not mantioned others names. I am not a proffesional and do not want to offend someone from developers). How to install custom ROM you can find in XDA forum as I did.
Let`s continue....
1) extract the JPY_services_no_clock.zip
2) put the 'services.jar' on the root of your sd card...
3) Open up root explorer (free in market, but I did it with Super Manager)
4) go to sd card and copy the 'services.jar'
5) go into /system/framework and paste the 'services.jar' (also at the top of root explorer make sure you are mounted (R/W) if using Super Manager (turn on root access from settings of the Super Manager).
6) reboot the phone and that should be it....
Thanks again to all developers and users.
would this work with JS7?

REZZZZZZZ... PlatLogoActivity [SOLVED/FOUND]

This is about THEMEing, I figure If Im going to find the answer it will likely be here.
Im looking to edit this easter egg on android 3.2. (when you tap android version in settings).I know the image resides in framework-res. and the plat logo activity is called in DeviceInfoSettings.smali in settings.apk . But where is the toast or the text? I could have swore I saw it before on my old device somehwere under strings.xml as "REZZZZZZ..."
It may be called as a mToast w/custom text like gingerbread.
I though I have seen this changed in some custom roms, maybe someone could link me to one..
anyone have any clue on how to change this text? Thanks a million.
(I obviously have very little experience with java/smali)
thank you! and for the first person that asks why... Becuz its the theming thread, and we like to theme!!
thinking it must be in one of the framework/jar files i'll try framework.jar and android.jar first.
[SOLVED]
YUP in framework.jar android internal app platlogoactivity.smali
for future reference in case anyones interested.
now to see if it builds..
Can you please tell me how to find this with root explorer? I would like to finish my theme with some custom text.

[Q] setting background wallpaper

anyone know how to change the background wallpaper of setting..??
please help me...
for example i attach the photo..
help me
sariseds watch
I think you might need a custom launcher for that. Idk if it's possible to change background with stock rom/launcher.
I know it is possible with Go Launcher and ADW Launcher. Search them from play and look around at the settings.

You will need to decompile framework-res.apk and change the wallpaper to whatever you like. Recompile it and flash it via cwm..
