First let me note that all credit goes to FxN. I simply am updating the code for the Droid 2. Thank you for all the work you did FxN. Also, this is only for DeOdexed phones.
NOTE BEFORE YOU START:
Standard disclaimer, I don't guarantee anything that might happen after following these steps, and I mean anything!! These steps worked for me and I have tried to include every minute step!
1. Connect phone using USB and check that you can see your device using: adb devices
2. in your SDK/tools directory from command line do:
PHP:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar
3. Make a backup of the services.jar file that just popped in the tools folder just in case!
4. Download smali and baksmali from http://code.google.com/p/smali/ and place them in the tools folder. Rename the files to baksmali.jar and smali.jar to save on typing later
5. Open the services.jar file with something such as winrar or 7zip or whatever you prefer
6. Copy out the classes.dex file to your SKD/tools folder
7. run following from command line:
PHP:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
8. Now browse to your new folders classout/com/android/server/status
9. Open the file StatusBarIcon.smali in something like notepad or context or any text editor
10. Locate a line that says: .line 61, under this line it should have something like:
PHP:
const/high16 v6, -0x100
11. Change this to say:
PHP:
const/high16 v6, -0x1
12. Save the file
13. Now back to the command line and from your SDK/tools folder run:
PHP:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
14. If the above finishes without errors you should have a file called new-classes.dex in your SDK/tools folder now that is the same size as your classes.dex file.
15. Rename the old classes.dex file to classes-old.dex and rename the new-classes.dex file to classes.dex
16. Open the services.jar file with your archiving tool again from step 5 and replace the existing classes.dex file with our new classes.dex we just created.
17. From command line run:
PHP:
adb remount
18. also from command line:
PHP:
adb push services.jar /system/framework/
19. Finally run:
PHP:
adb shell reboot
On step 11, this is setting the font to red. If you want white change the line to
PHP:
const v6, -0x1

Could you post a white services.jar?
I've been trying to get this to happen for a while. I thought it had to do with the method of deodexing, but it turns out it may be the services.jar itself. i've talked Xeudoxus, and he's going to take a look. Also, the way he's going to do it, will be incorporated into xUltimate, so that will make this process a billion times easier.

does this change ALL status bar text to white or just the clock?
also, would it work on nondeodexed phones?
Currently just the clock. As for the non-deodexed not sure..you should pull you current and push this and let us know

im not sure how this is valuable if the other statbar text is gonna remain black.
have to start somewhere. Im working on the other portions just need to find where they are stored.

i _thought_ they were in framework-res color but i think im wrong there.
I know that there are some default values stored in the status_bar.xml as i have changed the active action such as preparing sd card and stuff like that. I am trying to at least change the date before proceeding with my theme.

white services.jar works great. now if we can just get the rest of the text in white we can go back to the black bg themes
all white status bar. Again change .rar to .jar

getting closer.. notifications are still black text.
do you mean the pictures? like the tiny icons?

i made some screen shots.. first one should say the sms text but its black so you dont see it.. second has some list items all black..
those arent the status bar and are not controlled by services.jar.
Try this framework.apk and tell me if you sms text is white.

yep, this fixed the notification colors to white. can you tell me what portion of this is for the color change so that i can only apply that portion.
do you know which file affects the dropdown list text colors?

This thread was opened to consolidate the information/knowledge about themes for the x10 mini/mini pro. It is basically a reference thread with key bits of information and links so that a new user can find all the necessary information in one place. It should also help us avoid the old ‘where the hell was that image…?’ and ‘where was that … thread again?’.
Please PM me or post any useful information that is missing, especially the OPs of the threads in the Themes section below. I will continually update this thread with any new information or links.
At the moment this is a work in progress. I will fill it out in the days to come. And will keep it updated so long as I have my x10 mini pro (at least another 18 months according to t-mobile ).
All useful information that is posted here will be added to this first page, so that you don't have to wade through pages of posts to try and find something. Everything after the first page should therefore either be repeated on this page somewhere or is just conversation. Please yell at me should this not be the case
Please help me out by posting information, ideas etc.

Getting Started
Before getting started on a theme you'll need to set a few things up. Here's a list of everything you'll need:
• Root. Your phone will need to be rooted
• Java SDK (JDK). You'll need to install the JDK (and JRE) before you can start modifying the contents of your phone. Check out this video of Chewitts if you're having problems on x64 systems.
• ADB (from the Android SDK). You need ADB to push/pull files to and from your phone (see the next post)
The easiest way to make sure everything is set up properly is to install someone elses theme.
After you've done all that take a look at this.
Using ADB
There's an ADB Guide here :
Before you start need to unsecure the shell. Use the following adb commands to do this if you haven't already (to reverse it do chmod 0755... ):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh
This is all described in the links posted in the Getting Started section above
Thanks to MrRusch for making our lives easier with this tool. For those of you new to this, you should still read the guide linked above so that you know what is actually going on.
Here's a step by step for pulling the framework from your phone and pushing it back. The boot animation mod at the bottom is for 2.1 it is found in system/media/bootanimation.zip.
Step 1:
Connect phone to pc, enable usb debugging and open adb. Type:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
That will pull your framework-res.apk to whatever folder is displaying in your command line.
Step 2:
Find the framework-res.apk on your hard drive, right click and open with 7zip.
Step 3:
Use png's here or create your own and dump into the appropriate folder within framework-res.apk.
Step 4:
When you are done editing the files open up adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
That will put the new framework-res.apk on your phone. It should automatically reboot (if not reboot it) and your changes should be applied!
When running the script above you can replace framework-res.apk with whatever you want. For example, Conversations.apk,Alarm.apk etc.
Remember, it is CASE sensitive I made this problem many times)
If you would like to pull an entire folder put a slash at the end of the last word. For example, adb pull /system/etc /etc"/" (no " in actual script )
Courtesy of corruptfate is the steps to modify the Boot animation
step 1: Copy bootanimation.zip to sdcard
step 2: Open CMD (Command Prompt)
step 2: type "adb shell"
step 3: type "su"
step 5: type "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system"
step 5: busybox cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
step 6: chmod 755 /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Creating a theme
So, now that we’ve got the framework-res.apk onto our hard drive, we can take a look at creating a theme. The only skill that is really required to change the appearance of the framework (this is the system file that contains the notification bar, settings etc.) is being able to edit .png image files to suit your tastes. If you can do this then it is just a matter of knowing how to extract the images, and how to update the .apk with them after editing.
.9.png's
Before we start we need to take a look at a special kind of image in android apk’s: the .9.png’s. These are recognisable, as the name suggests, by the double extension *.9.png.
.9.png's are images with a bit of extra information embedded. They contain information on how they can be stretched, and where the content can go (e.g. for a button background, which area of the background can contain the text).
This information is contained in a single pixel border (the guides) around the image and can be added using draw9patch. The catch here is that the guides must be compiled into the image before it can be used.
The Border: For the most part, you will not have to edit the border of a .9.png because, as long as you follow the guide below, the guides will already be in the image and you will not need to change them. If you do need to create your own (I’d assume you know enough not to be reading this though ), you can find more information here.
Editing the Framework
In this example we will look at editing framework-res.apk. However, the process can be used on any apk.
The method described below may seem overly complicated for those who have experience in this area, but it is (in my opinion) the easiest ‘sure-fire’ way to make sure you don’t have any problems (especially with the .9.png’s).
In rare cases, when the .apk your modifying doesn’t have any .9.png’s (e.g. the Recent Calls widget) then you can skip straight to the ‘Updating images using Drag/Drop’ section below.
Requirements:
You will need the following:
7zip apktool - this is included in the attached file themes.zip
Some people use WinRAR instead of 7zip, but apktool uses some 7zip commands internally so make sure it is installed (I think, I know this is the case for APK Manager, I still need to test this for apktool, but hey, just use 7zip, it's free and works exceptionally well).
Setting up:
In the attached zip file (themes.zip) you will find a copy of my theme creation environment. It’s not too complicated, it only contains a couple of folders so I know where everything is, three key batch files (all one-liners) and apktool.
The first thing we need to look at is install_framework.bat. This contains the following line:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar install-framework stock\framework-res.apk
All this does is tell apktool to install the framework on your system. The resources from stock\framework-res.apk will be extracted to a default location. If you don’t do this then you will not be able to recompile other apk’s that rely on the framework (you will get a ResourceNotFound error).
The other batch files decompile and build the framework, these are the ones that need to be modified if you start working on a different apk:
Code:
decompile.bat
java -jar apktool.jar d stock\ framework-res.apk working\ framework-res
build.bat
java -jar apktool.jar b working\framework-res out\framework-res.apk
I have included the stock X10 mini pro framework. If you use on of the other frameworks out there you may find that you get a lot of errors when trying to recompile. That’s because someone got lazy with the .9.png’s
As we are modifying the framework directly we do not need to run install_framework.bat, for a different apk (e.g. Phonebook.apk) you may need to run this first to avoid errors when decompiling.
Decompiling and Building:
1. Run decompile.bat. After this you will see that the working folder is filled with the contents of the apk. The images we need to modify are in the subfolders res/drawable-ldpi and res/drawable-land-ldpi. If you look at some of the .9.png’s in there you can see the guides (see the attached image). This makes it really easy to edit them, you can just edit them like any other image (as long as you do not touch/alter the guides).
2. Edit any images that you want. For the .9.pngs I usually make a copy without the 1 pixel border so that I can edit the entire image, then I paste the copy back into the middle of the original .9.png. You don’t have to worry about the guides, they are already set correctly.
I have created a tool that takes the stock x10 mini / mini pro status bar icons, removes the background and sets them to a colour of your choice here. This was made to make my life easier by minimizing the time I spend in photoshop.
3. Run build.bat. This compiles the framework, embedding the guide information into the .9.png’s. The output framework is in the out folder. Do not push this to your phone as it is incomplete and the resources.arsc is stored incorrectly. If you do push it to your phone then you get to reflash
Now you can just drag the edited images out of the generated framework onto your hard drive and use steps 4. and 5. of the Drag/Drop method described below to update your framework.
Updating images using Drag/Drop:
1. Open the .apk in 7zip and browse to the appropriate image folder (almost always the res\drawable-hdpi folder)
2. Drag/Drop the images you want to edit to your hard drive. Leave the .apk open in 7zip
3. Edit the images in your favourite program (photoshop or similar)
4. Drag/Drop the images back into the .apk that is still open
5. Use the process described in the previous post to push the framework back to the phone
The reason that the .apk is left open in this process is that some (all?) of them are signed and updating them in this way doesn’t mess with the signature. I’ll admit to not being 100% sure about this, I’m sort of thinking now that people just had problems re-packing due to files being compressed that shouldn’t have been (see the section on editing XML files and adding resources to see what I mean). Please correct me on this one.
This also [almost] goes without saying, but: Make a backup before you start (you can look at the installer for Chewitts Dark10 theme to see how to do this).
OK, now you can start messing with the appearance of your phone, have fun

Thanks to Mr_Element for the help testing this process and making it easier to follow
Thanks to damnitpud for his post here, without which I would still have been a bit lost in draw9patch.
Modifying XML files and adding resources
First up, thanks to MrRusch for pointing out that the resources.arsc was being zipped differently. It would have taken a few more flashes to figure out how to pack it into the apk without that little nugget
The XML files in the framework-res.apk (and the other apps) are stored in a compiled form, making them impossible to edit without decompiling them. The process of decompiling them and recompiling is reasonably simple but care is required if any images/resources are added to the apk.
Modifying the xml files opens up certain things that can’t be changed by just modifying some image files. The best example is changing the battery icon in the notification bar to show a different image for each percentage instead of just 10%, 20%, 40% etc.
When you modify xml files and add resources to your apk, make sure you copy ALL the modifications made to the stock apk each time after compiling. I have noticed strange effects if I don't do this such as the wrong images being used - I am assuming that in the newly compiled resources.arsc the image references/IDs change when compiled, but I'm not really sure yet. An example of this is when I tried to add the signal strength mod mentioned above to a framework that included the battery icon mod below. This only worked if I also copied the battery mod files to the framework (even though they were already in the apk) after recompiling the signal strength mod. If I just copied the files required for the signal strength mod then the battery indicator would start showing the wrong images .
Battery Icon:
Here is a step by step for modifying the battery icon in the framework. To do this you will need to download apktool and install 7zip (other compression programs may work, but I’ve only used 7zip). I have attached some example files with 100 steps (one for each percentage) in case you just want to add them to your existing framework. Just make sure they are added as described below!
1. Decompile the framework using the following command:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk framework-res
2.This will decompile the framework-res.apk that’s in the current command window folder into a subfolder framework-res
Find the xml files you need to modify, e.g. the battery icon xml res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml and edit them. This is assuming, of course that you know what needs to go in the XML file . For the battery XML it is pretty obvious, just copy/paste the existing nodes and change them so you have the necessary percentage entries, see the attachment for an example with 100 steps.
3. Add any necessary resources to the appropriate folder. For the battery icon you need to create an image for each percentage (or download one of these) and add them to the res\drawable_hdpi folder. The name is the same as the name in the xml (stat_sys_battery_*.png)
4. Rebuild the apk using the following command:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res out\framework-res.apk
This will create a new framework-res.apk in a subfolder out.
IMPORTANT: Do not push this apk to your phone unless you want to reflash
5. Extract the xml files and images from the newly generated apk (you can use the original images, but the xml files must be the newly compiled ones from the new apk). Add these files to the original framework-res.apk that you want to push to your phone (see the previous post).
6. Extract the resources.arsc from the root of the apk
7. Rename the original framework-res.apk from your theme to framework-res.zip
8. Right-click the extracted resources.arsc and choose the 7zip menu item ‘Add to archive’
9. In the dialog that appears set the achive field at the top to the framework-res.zip from step 7. And set the archive format to zip. Now set the Compression level to store and click OK(if you do not do this your phone will not boot). The settings are in the attached screenshot.
10. Rename framework-res.zip to framework-res.apk and double check that the compressed size or resources.arsc is the same as the original size (see screenshot)
11. Done. Push the new framework to your phone.
Status Bar Text:
The style for most (all?) UI elements can be found in res/values/styles.xml. This xml file is only available in a decompiled framework. In the compiled version everything in res/values is compiled into resoureces.arsc.
The status bar text style is named TextAppearance.StatusBar. The file is pretty large so it's best just to do a search for the name. The definition looks like this:
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_primary</item>
</style>
You can easily adjust the size or make the text bold using the textSize and textStyle elements (see here for a description of these attributes and their values). The color uses the @color/... notation. This is a reference to a color resource, these can be found in colors.xml. We could just change this to a direct color entry (see here for an example), but then we wouldn't have a resource that can be reused for other parts of the UI.
If you open colors.xml you can find this:
Code:
<color name="semc_text_color_primary">#ffffffff</color>
This sets the primary text color to white (ARGB: FFFFFFFF = White). Changing the value of this will change the color of all primary text throughout the phone (settings menu etc.). If we just want to change the notification bar then it's best to add a new color. To do this just duplicate the above color definition and change the name and color:
Code:
<color name="semc_text_color_primary">#ffffffff</color>
<color name="semc_text_color_custom">#9900ff00</color>
And then adjust the style to use this new color resource:
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_custom</item>
</style>
Now recompile and copy resources.arsc to your framework as described above and push the framework to your phone for semi-transparent green text in your status bar
Modifying Services.jar
To modify services.jar we need to decompile the classes.dex file contained within. We can do this with baksmali:
1. Open services.jar (found in system/framework) with 7zip
2. Extract classes.dex from the archive
3. Open a command window and use the following to decompile:
Code:
java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar -o out\services classes.dex
4. You will now have a subfolder out\services with the decompiled .dex classes (smali files)
These sort of modifications will not be necessary very often. Two things that have been looked at so far are changing the text color on the status bar clock (just the clock, not the notification text) and changing the signal strength to show dBm instead of just the bars. The text color of the clock is relatively simple and is described below. The signal strength mod was done by MrRusch and requires a bit more code.
I have attached a converter MrRusch has put together to convert java to smali. This is really helpful when trying to figure out how to modify the smali or event just trying to figure out what a piece of smali code does.
You can find a reference for all the smali ops here. This one is more complete but I prefer the first purely because it's a bit more compact and it has most of what I need anyway. Thanks to untemensch and JesusFreke for the links.
Status Bar Clock Color:
I have since figured out how to do this without changing any code, just by changing some xml in res/layout, but I will keep this here as I think it is a nice, easy to follow example to start out with.
This section describes how to modify the color of the clock in the status bar without changing the color of the notification text (changing all of the status bar text is described in the xml section above).
First we need to have a look at the smali file com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali to see how the color of the clock text is set. I use Visual Studio to view/edit the smali files, but you can use any text editor - I have seen PSPad recommended a few times.
If we look at the init method we can see the following piece of smali code:
Code:
.line 44
.local v15, textColor:I
const/4 v13, -0x1
.line 50
.local v13, styleIndex:I
const v18, 0x1030079
:try_start_1f
sget-object v19, Lcom/android/internal/R$styleable;->TextAppearance:[I
move-object/from16 v0, p1
move/from16 v1, v18
move-object/from16 v2, v19
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Context;->obtainStyledAttributes(I[I)Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;
move-result-object v5
.line 53
.local v5, a:Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;
const/16 v18, 0x0
move-object v0, v5
move/from16 v1, v18
move/from16 v2, v16
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;->getDimension(IF)F
move-result v16
.line 54
const/16 v18, 0x3
move-object v0, v5
move/from16 v1, v18
move v2, v15
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;->getColor(II)I
move-result v15
Here's a run-down:
I'm pretty sure the lines that start with a '.' are comments from the decompiler.
The .line 4 entries are just a reference to the line number in java source-code. And I think the .local v15, textColor:I entry just notes the v15 variable name and type (I = integer).
The first bit of interest is the line invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Context;->obtainStyledAttributes(I[I). The obtainStyledAttributes method definition can be found here. There are a few overloads, but the call is to the method that accepts an integer and an integer array as parameters - hence the (I[I), I and [I. The three variables in braces at the start denote the object that the method is being called on (the Context object) and the two parameters respectively. The first parameter (v1) is a resource ID and a few lines up the v18 variable is copied to this (move/from16 v1, v18 - this means move the value from v18 to the v1 variable). v18 was declared a few lines above again with the value 0x1030079. This ID can be found in the framework xml-file res/values/public.xml and the value is the name of a style (TextAppearance.StatusBar) that can be found in res/valus/styles.xml (see the xml section above).
The result of obtainStyledAttributes is copied to v5 (move-result-object v5) which (in .line 54) is copied to v0 which is then used to call Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;->getColor with the two integer parameters v18 (0x3) and v15 (0x100 - this is the color black). The first parameter is the index of the color in the style array (index 3 in v5) and the second is the default value (black).
The result of getColor() is then copied to v15 and reused later when setting up the text view for the clock:
Code:
.line 61
.local v14, t:Landroid/widget/TextView;
move-object v0, v14
move-object/from16 v1, p0
iput-object v0, v1, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarIcon;->mTextView:Landroid/widget/TextView;
.line 62
new-instance v11, Landroid/widget/LinearLayout$LayoutParams;
const/16 v18, -0x2
const/16 v19, -0x1
move-object v0, v11
move/from16 v1, v18
move/from16 v2, v19
invoke-direct {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/widget/LinearLayout$LayoutParams;-><init>(II)V
.line 65
.local v11, layoutParams:Landroid/widget/LinearLayout$LayoutParams;
const/16 v18, 0x0
move-object v0, v14
move/from16 v1, v18
move/from16 v2, v16
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextSize(IF)V
.line 66
invoke-virtual {v14, v15}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextColor(I)V
All this means that to change the color of the clock text only, we need to declare a new style and use the ID of this style in the call to obtainStyledAttributes. When adding the style to styles.xml I keep it in the same place as the other status bar styles:
Code:
...
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_primary</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_clock</item>
</style>
...
The name of the style can be anything, what is important is the ID reference in public.xml, and that a color semc_text_color_clock is declared in colors.xml (see the xml section above).
The style reference in public.xml must have an ID that starts with 0x0103****. This is the ID range for styles, strings and other resources have a different ID range. I always add the new style at the bottom of the style group so that I can easily see which is the next free ID:
Code:
....
<public type="style" name="SEMCTheme.Dialog.Alert.Vanilla" id="0x01030139" />
<public type="style" name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" id="0x0103013a" />
....
Now that we have added a new style we just need to adjust the smali code to use it. Change the code above from:
Code:
.line 50
.local v13, styleIndex:I
const v18, 0x1030079
to:
Code:
.line 50
.local v13, styleIndex:I
const v18, 0x103013a
Now our new style is used for the call to obtainStyledAttributes. We then need to recompile the smali to a classes.dex file and update the services.jar:
Run the following command to recompile the smali:
Code:
java -jar smali-1.2.5.jar -o out\classes.dex out\services
The output file may be a slightly different size than the original classes.dex but as long as you don't get any errors it will be OK.
Now open services.jar with 7zip and update it with the new classes.dex (drag/drop).
Done Push the services.jar to your phone with adb and reboot (make sure you have updated framework-res.apk with the new xml resources first, otherwise our new ID will point to a non-existant resource)
Possible reasons your phone won't boot after modifications:
images anren't stored properly, right format, right size etc.
unpacked apk improperly, use 7zip, it doesn't mess anything up
you signed the package before pushing it- unless you know what you're doing follow the directions to a tee and you should be fine
pushed the package to the wrong directory, /system/framework-res.apk XX, /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I'm sure many other reasons, these were the only ones I encountered
How to get past boot screen:
Use backup framework-res.apk and push that one to your phone. Remember to place that one where the modified one is.
To see if adb sees your phone type adb devices, if a serial number pops up try pushing your original, if not...
Flash your phone again from scratch . Sorry, I don't know any better way yet.
from bitter personal experience :
If anyone does mess their phone up so much that not even the SE logo shows up (just a black, maybe flickering, screen) and a reflash/seus repair doesn't help. Then what sorted me out was a reflash to Generic Nordic 1.6 using this guide the same one I used to get the 2.1 update early - then boot the phone, shut down again and run seus for the 2.1 update and bin4ry flash tool.
Not directly related, but here's a tip from XperiaX10iUser:
To reverse chmod use 0755 instead of 4755.

Root Explorer
@vippie
Maybe it's a known way, but I didn't find it yet . It works great for me. Your device has to be rooted.
Zocker Tko mentioned in his thread a black theme on a german forum. There's a little tutorial on that site on howto replace the framework-res.apk using Root Explorer:
* make a backup of the original file
* Copy framework-res.apk to the SD card
* Mount /system in RootExplorer as "rw"
* Copy framework-res.apk to /system
* Set permissions for framework-res.apk to 644. See screenshot:
* Move framework-res.apk to /system/framework and replace the existing file (reported to be safer than copy).
* Reboot your phone.
Ofcourse all credits goes to Bueffel the original poster.

Nice Guide for installing via root explorer by DarK_dOg:
Installation procedure:
Step 1:
Copy android.policy.jar, framework.jar, framework-
res.apk files into your (/sdcard).
Step 2:
Launch Root Explorer and browse to the location of the theme
pack files. Press menu and then "Multiselect". Then
select the files and press "copy".
Step 3:
Browse to /system. Press Mount R/W tab. Then press
paste.
Step 4:
You're in /system. Select android.policy.jar file.
From the pop-up menu, choose permissions and set them
according to the screenshot:
Step 5:
We follow the exact same procedure to set the permissions for
the framework.jar and framework-res.apk files.
CAUTION:It is very important to set
proper permissions (as shown on the screenshot) to all of the three
files, or else you will end up with a bricked phone
Step 6:
Once we set the permissions, our files are ready to move on /system framework. Press menu and then "
multiselect" (we are on /system).
For once again choose android.policy.jar, framework.jar
, framework-res.apk and press move.
Step 7:
Go to /system/framework and press
paste.

Great post. Thank you!
Quick question: Unsecuring the shell, if the phone stucks at boot, will I be able to replace framework-res as long as adb recognizes the phone? No need to su?
I ask this because I recently re-flashed my phone because I couldn't replace the framework I made by the stock one, but adb was recognizing the phone, just didn't let me su...
Thanks again.
Regards
ya u r write u can replace the framework with su
Steps:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk

Couldn't make this work.
My adb is still asking for su to root. Doesn't allow me to mount without root (su command after ad shell) even after chmod 4755.
This way if something goes wrong, I'll definitively will have to reflash... And that's... You know...
Any idea?
I would be much more comfortable to start playing around with this 'safety net' working...
Thanks again!

Thanks

restart phone, connect it to usb

mount sdcard with this command : mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
and put your backed files where they belong.

Not sure I managed the 'rootshell' command well.
This is what I get.
My phone is rooted, obviously. I can do the 'su' with no problems.
I'm just trying to be safe before starting to mess around with framework...
Thanks you once again.

if the adb thing is not working thn you can do 1 thing. download droid explorer from this site http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/50997 thn when you dont have access to your phone you can open droid explorer move your backup framework to your system framework framework-res.apk and you can also use this tool to do the further things...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850340
I have droid explorer and android commander installed.
I know for experience that none of them work if phone gets stuck.
No 'su', no root, no permission to mount, no permission to write...
Feel free to delete this posts if you want the thread clean.
If we manage a solution, we can post it directly instead of 10 posts aroud the same thing.

bro seus is the last option.... bt can u plz tell me where i wrote that we can do mofications without having su permissions in the thread??

No, you didn't. I'm not saying that.
What I was looking for was a way to replace framework-res.apk in case something goes wrong and phone gets stuck in 'Sony Ericsson' black screen before bootanimation. In that case, 'su' is not allowed.
That's what happened to me last time I played around with it. And in that case I were not able to put the good framework-res.apk back in place, so I had to re-flash.
Having shell unsecured, I believe I can avoid re-flashing even if something goes wrong. I think I finally got a way to have this safety through SuperOneClick although I'm not so sure it will work in a worst case scenario, once the 'shell root' gained is always temporary until next reboot...
As I told you before, none of the ways you posted here to get 'shell root' or 'shell unsecured' worked for me, that's only what I was looking for.
Thank you again for all your work and patience.
Best regards!
Welll...
Playing aroud and I'm a small step to re.flash the phone.
I have my phone stuck in the 'Sony Ericsson' black screen.
Can't get root, rootshell, adb root or su after adb shell to work.
I need at least to change the permissions of my framework-res.apk file in /system/framework
Any idea on how to do this and avoid the re-flash?
Thanks

What you will need:
-Apk Manager (Click)
-Android SDK (Click)
-An image editor, Adobe Photoshop is recommended!
-One brain.. (Edit: Half a brain is needed, not the full thing)
-Two hands..
-Fingers, 10 of them recommended!
-framework-res.apk
-twframework-res.apk
-services.jar (If you want to change the clock color)
How-to edit the apks:
1.) Get your two apk files (framework-res.apk & twframework-res.apk)
2.) Place them in apk-manager/place-apk-here-for-modding/
3.) Open apk-manager/script.bat
4.) Select option 22
5.) Select framework-res.apk
6.) Select option 1
7.) Select option 22
8.) Select twframework-res.apk
9.) Select option 1
10.) Go to apk-manager/projects/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi (or /drawable-hdpi-v4)
11.) Edit the .png files that you would like to change
12.) Go to apk-manager/projects/twframework-res/apk/res/drawable-hdpi (or /drawable-hdpi-v4)
13.) Edit the .png files that you would like to change
14.) Go back to script.bat
15.) Select option 22
16.) Select framework-res.apk
17.) Select option 3
18.) Select option 22
19.) Select twframework-res.apk
20.) Select option 3
(Don't zipalign)
21.) There will be two files in your place-here-for-modding folder.. They are called unsingedframework-res.apk & unsingedtwframework-res.apk just backup the originals, and delete the unsinged from part from the two new files.
How-to edit services.jar, clock color:
1.) Go to your SDK folder.. example: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2.) Get your services.jar file & open it with winrar
3.) Take the classes.dex from it & put it in your android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder
4.) Open CMD
5.) Run the following command: "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" (directory may not be the same)
6.) Run the following command: "java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex"
7.) Go to classout\com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali
8.) On line 34 it will look something like: "const/4 v7, -0x1"
9.) On line 34 change the above to: "const v7, 0xffffff" (That will be black)
10.) Compile the classes.dex by using this command: "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex"
11.) Get the new-classes.dex from android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder & move it to your desktop
12.) Rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex
13.) Re-open the services.jar using winrar & past your new classes.dex in there
(Notice: After editing the clock color, it will take longer to boot the first time! Be patient!)

This is awesome.
shouldnt you be able to change the ffffff in "const v7, 0xffffff" to whatever color you want?
Yeah, you can change it to whatever you want.. When I get home I'll add the directions to change the text color in the pull down and market downloads...

It would actually be

What hex code are you using

Sorry I wasn't using my half a brain I found my mess up I over looked the "const/4"
I will take it that I don't need apk manager. Just need to unpack, repack, and sign. I could also just use a Hex editor to change the colors on the things I would like to change such as date, notification text, etc.. Just like I did with the G1.

I am pretty sure you can't use Hexedit to edit the Clock. You need to decompile it.
Also, you don't sign /system apks
Awesome! I barely qualify as a 1/2 brain. ApkManager is sweet simple program that does the job. In the many times I have used it, I noticed that recompilation of the files are not clean after images have been change/edit. So I always optimize images inside (option 2) everytime I recompile. Does this help and worth doing?
BTW: what xml editor are you guys using? Some of the ones that I downloaded are crap.

Adapted from http://zezke.xtreemhost.com/2010/9/black-android-status-bar/
This is just a brief guide. The steps are a little different for the XT720. This was tested on a XT720 using Dexter's Froyo 1.2a.
Getting started
Tools needed: apktool, android sdk, java jre, 7zip/winrar/etc, smali.jar and baksmali.jar
Changing the theme
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
java -jar "apktool.jar" d -f framework-res.apk
Navigate to framework-res/res folder.
Here, the drawable-hdpi folder contains the images for the theme. You can either replace the images in here with images from another theme (easier, but might not always work) or modify the images yourself (complicated).
Changing the status bar colour
What you want is the status_bar.xml file in the layout folder.
Look for
Code:
<com.android.server.status.DateView android:textSize="16.0sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
near the end of the file.
To change the colour, change the value of the attribute android:textColor. For mine, I changed it to android:textColor="#ffffffff". This is in hexadecimal. The first two letters dictate the transparency. The rest is just the standard RGB hex code. For example, black is #ff000000. Full transparency is #00ffffff.
After making the modifications, you have to repack.
java -jar apktool.jar b "framework-res"
You'll find your new framework-res.apk in framework-res/dist.
P.S. Replacing the original framework-res.apk with the new one didn't work for me. I have to make a Metamorph theme and apply it. Coming to that in a moment.
Changing the clock colour
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar
Open services.jar (using 7zip) and extract classes.dex (only). Get smali.jar and baksmali.jar from Google Code (latest version when writing this guide 1.2.4).
java -Xmx512M -jar baksmali.jar -o classout classes.dex
This will create a directory named classout in your current working directory. Open it and go to com/android/server/status and open (using a text editor) StatusBarIcon.smali. Look for this fragment:
.line 60
const/high16 v6, -0x100
invoke-virtual {v4, v6}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextColor(I)V
I think the important thing is the setTextColor(I)V. The .line60 may differ for most phones.
Now, the original colour is the line
const/high16 v6, -0x100
change it into
const v6, -0x1
for white.
Then save it.
I'm not sure what the other colour codes are, but I think you can find out with a search.
Now return to the folder containing services.jar and classes.dex. Rename classes.dex as classes.dex.backup just to be safe and have a backup. Recreate the dexfile:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex
Add the new classes.dex file to the services.jar (crucial that you add it instead of creating a new archive).
---Making Metamorphs
It's easier if you just use my Metamorph as a template.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955698
In my Metamorph theme, replace the framework/services.jar with yours.
The framework-res/res folder contains files to replace in the system's framework-res.apk. Empty the folder, then extract files that you have changed from your new framework-res.apk(using 7zip/etc, this is important) and put them in this folder.
You can change the owq.xml file.
<item>framework-res.apk</item>
<path>/system/framework/</path>
Means that files in the archive /system/framework/framework-res.apk will be replaced with the ones in the Metamorph theme folder /framework-res
<item>framework.cpy</item>
<path>/system/framework/</path>
Means that files in /framework will be copied to /system/framework/, replacing any existing files. (Due to the .cpy extension, short for copy)

i couldnt find SystemUI al.apk. also pls tell when we change the value to const v0, (your transparency values; look at post #4) will it looks like
this if i want 100% transparent?
const v0, 0x00000000

After you type
Code:
apktool b SystemUI al.apk
There's al.apk (not SystemUI al.apk) and the original SystemUI.apk
Open original SystemUI.apk with WinRAR, click META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml inside original SystemUI.apk, copy META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml, and open al.apk using WinRAR, paste it, when ask to compress click yes/OK
Yes, if you want 100% transparency it will look like this
Code:
# virtual methods
.method public draw(Landroid/graphics/Canvas;)V
.locals 2
.parameter "canvas"
.prologue
.line 2856
[COLOR="Red"]const v0, 0x00000000[/COLOR]
sget-object v1, Landroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;->SRC:Landroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;
invoke-virtual {p1, v0, v1}, Landroid/graphics/Canvas;->drawColor(ILandroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;)V
.line 2857
return-void
.end method

That's because apktool.yml not exist in your SystemUI decompiled folder
Try to decompiled SystemUI.apk again and find the apktool.yml in the decompiled folder
Look at the attachment
Nice guide for modders :good:

I though you want the transparent statusbar. Try to find in res/values/drawables.xml
Find a line that named status_bar_background (CMIIW) and change the colour

hey nice guide, but I have a problem.
When i type this: apktool b SystemUI al.apk.
the al.apk does not get compiled. I also noticed that im missing the apktool.yml file in the folder of the decompiled SystemUI.
