im looking to change the white colors on rosie to a blaze or burnt orange. total noob to this type of stuff.
i extracted rosie.apk and was digging around a bit and found 2 xml files in rosie/res/color
bright text white focused, and bright text dark focused
i would paste whats in there but i don't have anything on my pc to view the .xml now.
just guessing i might have to edit the numbers in there?? problem is i don't know what to change them to. or if that's even right. maybe its more complicated.
then i would have to zip it back into an apk. however you do that... im sure i could find out though.
any help or if someone could provide a link to something would be greatly appreciated.
or would i have to edit or replace the .png's???
just downloaded ninjamorph from the market.
just tried editing some pngs in drawable hdpi and screwed it all up! i knew it would look like crap but i thought it would at least work!
From what I've found you will have to edit the pngs in the Rosie.apk file.....run them through Photoshop and recolor them.

i just tried editing one of them real quick and lost the launcher all together...
either my edit broke it or ninjamorph didnt repack the stuff right.
Did you reboot after the edit?

Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody knows how to adjust the rotary wheel's position on the lock screen, I'd like to maybe move it a little lower if possible. I'm guessing that the positioning must lie in an XML somewhere, but which and where? It's no big deal if it can't be practically done, the ROM remains awesome either way.
I'm using a NAA and D_d CM7.2.0.4 on the mini
Thanx in advance guys
And props to all the devs on this forum!! You guys are the reason why dynamite comes in small (mini) packages!!
it is in framework-res.apk
xml's are in layout:
keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land.xml
keyguard_screen_unlock_landscape.xml
keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml
Thanx but now how do I edit them, what program do I use because when I open them up on my phone, all I see is... stuff, no values.
you need to edit them on pc by using Apk Maneger and Notepad++.
maybe if i will have some time i will fix framework for your device but you can try it if you want
THANK YOU!!! I appreciate the offer but I'm going to try for myself first but if I have problems, I'll let you know!! Thanx again!
Edit: Ok, extracted apk and opened one of the XMLs in Notepad ++ but its different stuff, "SOL" "NUL" where are values you can edit? How do you change Notepad ++ to show numbers that humans can read ?
I'm hoping there is someone that can tell me how to decompile and recompile the frame work files.
I want to begin doing theme development.
I'm quite clued up, but i have no idea what programs to use to do this.
Some good stuff in themes section like all the stuff you nead to make themes just ask if you take some 1s theme to use

I feel like a blind bat.. XD
TY
Use APK Maneger 4.9 it is in xda just search for him and i think there is tut how to use it it is the easyest way to decompile, compile, sing and much more
Just modded my soft keys to light up red, attempting to get the theme on Virus's Eternity ROM to match. Could anyone change all the green to red, or point me to some tools to help me edit the framework? I'm new to the theming, but I have a decent understanding of ADB and Android file structure.

M10 tools and eclipse for Modding .9 pngs. And gimp for adding colors and a ton of experimentation

That looks... daunting, so lets start small. Now lets say I just wanted to mod the notification bar icons for now, I think that would fall under the .9 png modding portion. What files exactly would I be modifying? Is it some sort of jar file I would be ripping the pngs out of, modifying, and replacing? I am quite new to this, so please don't flame me too much

notification bar icons are mainly in systemui.apk and are standard .pngs.
Theirs alot of guys willing to help those who help them selves. from what your asking i'de suggest doing a ton of reading. their are a ton of theming modding how tos. but if you wanna jump in grab 7zip,gimp(or a similar graphics editor) and android signer, and start experimenting, If you wanna edit .9.pngs your gonna have to learn how to use apktool and a .9 compiler. But just do a search theirs alot of great how tos and tools all over the forum.
I found the systemUI.apk from reading the beats headphone icon thread. So I'm assuming that the .pngs found in the systemUI.apk are normal .pngs that don't need any kind of special encoding or transparency values. If I were going to change some sense 3.0 assets, I would need to use this guide posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5206698, correct?
Edit: Also, is the SystemUI.odex file anything I have to worry about?

if your just looking to change images the .odex isn't something you need to worry about, the link you posted refers to .9.pngs, when you say assets if your refering to the images that are in assets folders tose are .m10 files and for those you need the .m10 tools that can also be found here on xda.
Well, I got the drawable-hdpi finished, I may have to tweek the 4g icon, the signal bars look a little pink. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find the syncing icon, battery percentage, and other little odds and ends that I can easily edit. I'm attaching the SystemUI.apk for anyone who wants to try it.
I'm basically wanting to edit the background color and font color of a Notepad apk. I'm pretty adept at swapping out png's and re-signing and all that, but I know nothing about XML. There isn't a background image inside the apk, so I assume the color is dictated by one of the XML files inside. Anyone feel like helping me out? Or any skilled XML editors feel like taking a few minutes and just knocking it our for me? I can't imagine it's very hard if you actually know what you're doing. I just don't :/
