Andriod version text background color
Please help,
I want to change the text background, or to make the background text transparent, in the "Android version" where it write "Zombie Art by Jack Larson".
I searched for several days, but I did not found the solution.
I searched in the framework.jar\smali\com\android\internal\app, in PlatLogoActivity.smali.
I changed there the color code, but not working.
I know that the color code, it is smali color code.
Or is it a .png file in the framework-res.apk to which I must to changes its color?
Can anyone help me?
Thank You.

Solved.
The file to which needs to be changed the color it is "toast_frame.9.png" in framework-res.apk.
The color changes also in another place, but this is not a problem.
It's just nice.
Below it can see how it looks.
Of course, also the text must be changed in framework.jar\smali\com\android\internal\app, in PlatLogoActivity.smali.
By the way, I can not believe that no one knows which file must had changed the color.
But, perhaps the SGA S5830 no more represent an interest for developers.
However, in many countries SGA S5830 is a smartphone very appreciated and used.
Thanks all.
Without you, I would not have succeeded.

anyone know how to change the text of the widget on the homescreen?
I figured it would be in white_text.xml and grey_text.xml but i changed what i thought would correspond to the text colour (from the preceeding code), hell i then changed every bloody FFFFFF in there one at a time for no change. I have managed to change the text inside the widget when you open it up by changing new_white_text.xml and news_grey_test.xml
Any ideas? Maybe a smali edit? Had a quick look thru smali files but couldn't really find anything to change this colour (i am very new to smali stuff).
If you have been able to change it can you let me know the line number maybe?
thanks
Hi, I did this a while back so I forgot what value I changed, but here is the file I changed in Metamorph. You can maybe do a comparison to see what's changed.
It also has the background for Moonsspoon's gchrome, however the theme file isn't included. (So don't use it as-is)
Hope this helps
Thanks heaps mate. I will try it out later and see how I go.
I have seen images of this done, but I can't find the xml controlling the color of the green bar that appears when you draw the pattern. I have looked through a lot of apk who could be the culprit, but with no luck. Anyone know where to find it?
Edit: I have not attached a snapshot, illustrating what I mean.
I would also like to know if this is possible, i have managed to change some colours as shown in the attachment but not the green line??? Any help on this would be appreciated! Thanks

I just started messing around with making themes. I know how to modify the xml, png, and .9.png files; but am having problems with the text under the quickpanel icons (ie. wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, orientation).
What files do I need to modify to change the text color under the quickpanel icons? I'm assuming it's in the twframework-res.apk, but I looked through all the xml files and didn't see where to change the text color.
If anyone has some insight, please advise. Thanks

I have done some themeing before, and although I never have changed the text you are asking for and dont know where it is, I can tell you that the first thing you need to do is. Decompile the framework. This is because many xml's are hidden in the apk format. Searxh for apk manager to do so.
After decompiling look in twframework-res\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml
Each item will have something like android:textColor="@color/tw_colorXXX"
Then look for that in twframework-res\res\values\colors.xml

I know how to decompile and modify the xml files and I use apktool (apkmanager is just a wrapper for apktool).

I already modified the status_bar_expanded.xml colors and still the text doesn't show up correctly (changed all colors to #ffffffffff).
Maybe it's not the text that is the problem but the png background, but changing the status_bar_background.9.png didn't fix it.
Here's the screeny of what I am trying to fix.
I've seen that before. LOL What do you want it to look like?
You sure you didn't modify the text in \res\values\strings.xml?

the text in strings.xml is correct. I just want the text to show
Change them all back to the orginal in status_bar_expanded.xml which should be android:textColor="@color/tw_color001"
That just made the text black, any other suggestions?
I think it might actually be the tw_quick_panel_black_bt.png - I'll modify the png and see if that helps.
tw_color001 should be white.
The background for it is status_bar_header_background_01.png which is where the text is drawn over.
I got it. It was the status_bar_extended.xml, but it was the size dpi which was causing the problems. Thanks for all the help. See screeny

Can someone tell me how to change the notification text color? What is its corresponding value in the XML files? Thanks.
Just did a search. Looks like you have to get into the classes.dex in services.jar and modify StatusBarIcon.smali
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549309
Oh, or did you want the notifications in expanded?
In twframework-res\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml look at the lower section where you'll see android:textColor="#ffffffff" which is hex for white (ARGB), about 3 times. Leave the first FF alone. That's alpha channel.

The text in the expanded notifications panel. Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.
Hello,
I would like to change color of highlighting numbers in SMS messages but I'm lost and not able to find a right place where to change it. I looked at framework-res.apk and also com.htc.resources.apk but no luck. See attached image, if not clear what I was talking about. Does anybody know where I can change such color, please?
Thanks for any help.
I am asking a similar question about theming and how to change the selected / highlighted "text color" when "cutting and pasting", searching or selecting a link in my browser.
Specifically for Sense ROMS 2.1 or 3.0 with GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. The T-Mobile HTC MyTouch theme called "Safari" has everything blue for the text selections and highlights, and want to have this same feature on a standard HTC ROM. Not a green color fan.
Looking for what *.xml file controls this in the framework files?
Is this XML in the
com.htc.resources.apk
framework-res.apk
files?
Again, trying to do the same thing, to learn which xml file controls this.
TIA

Those color codes will be in the messaging apk not the the framework or the resources. HTC has many color codes over writting each other. I would start in the messaging app.
These color codes are MOSTLY in the framework files, otherwise when you change skins they would always be the same green. This is not the case. Try it yourself with a different skin other the the HTC default.

I know about themes more then you think. I don't use the stock SMS app so not so sure about that one but before you say I should try it have a look at the SS. I know my way around the framework enough to change everything.
Hey Guys,
i`m searching for a method to change my font color.
As i posted in the "Show your wallpaper sticky" my Wallpaper has a white Background.
I also made the status bar and the dock fully transparent.
So it is impossible to read the clock or something else what is written in white...
Hope someone could give me a kick in the right direction.

Changing the native font colour involves pulling your framwork-res.apk, decompiling it, editing the hex values in XML, recompiling it and then pushing it back to the phone. I'm sure if you Google "change font colour android" you'll find a few guides.
Alternatively, it would be much easier to just use a different background
hi postfatal,
thanks for your response.
i googled the entire morning and this is really the only solution?
*sigh*
so i have to learn a bit more about our beloved android system
i wouldn't change my wallpaper because after 3 years i found a nice new one
So i give it a try and make the impossible possible ;P
