oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over

I already used search and saw that thread, but it doesn't answer my question.

*.9.png files require a one pixel black border around them to work correctly.

Thank you, good information.

Decompile the original .9 PNG and paste the modified one over it, then recompile.

[Q] (Q) Theme Question

I've been working on a theme and I have been trying to change the color of the bar that shows up for the volume control and for downloads, etc. I have looked all over the ROM and themes trying to find the .png for it, but I can't find it. Can anyone tell me what it's called and where it's located? Thanks in advance.

I think u should be able to find it in "framework-res.apk" file under settings/framework

framework-res.apk\res\drawable\progress_horizontal.xml

Its not a .png you can just edit in photoshop. You have to decompile and edit the progress_horizontal.xml file.
Here's a good guide:

You gotta have root access for doing it if not you won't be able to copy it into the system. If you have root access, just copy 'AppWidgetPicker' in system/app. DON'T INSTALL IT!!!

i have root access ,i tried to copy in system/app with filexpert but failed,the same with myphoneexplorer.
Connecting usb i cant see system folder....Any solutions?

I use ES file explorer and i recommend you to use it too. In the settings you gotta set up root access and mount/dismount permission and voila you gonna get it working !!!

Thanks, finally i got it with es explorer...

You're welcome ^_^

guys..i don't mean to offend any1, but are we not deviating a bit too much from the topic??...yes,i acknowledge that i went out of the topic to help nooby, but if u are facing frequent problems or tech difficulty, please help each other through PM's.
am not trying to be a judge or something,but this thread is a very *important* different topic. any1 following the posts will be left guessing the real motive of the thread.
please, understand what am saying. dxdiag is asking for a team to port one of the best known ROMs to our cell.
hope u understand and don't freak out on me

[Req] How to change app name?

I recently downloaded asphalt overdrive and found the name too long and odd looking in my app drawer. I wish it would be better if it was down to oneword such as "Asphalt" or "Overdrive" only. Can someone tell me how to change the app name itself. It will be much helpful if someone modifies it for me

I do not quite understand what you mean, I asked one fotot to better understand me ... even more so I tried to download the file from the link below and it will have two apks that modifquei differently, see one after the other. I hope the right.
Link > https://www.sendspace.com/file/b6h1e9

In Nova launcher you just need to hold on an icon, slide it to Edit and just delete or rewrite name. that simple.

thanks a ton!
