[Theme Resource] Guide of helpful theming Locations - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

I noticed that one of the largest problems I had when I tried to start creating custom themes was I could never find the images or locations of images that I wanted to change. I am trying to help others out by creating a easy to understand guide to locations. I am not an expert themer by any means and if I got anything wrong or I missed something please let me know, I am also still trying to learn.
This is information I gathered from experience as well as several guides mainly these. here, here and here
This is Just a start I hope to expand this further and add more.
Also This is based off of the stock moto 4.5.91 gingerbread release.

1. Carrier sign. This can be found and removed in the SystemUI.apk status_bar.xml.at the end of line of line 5 by reducing the padding to 0.
2.Status Bar. This image is found in SystemUI.apk as statusbar_background.
3/4.Data icons/Signal Strength/Wifi. In SystemUI.apk listed as stat_sys_data. In the moto rom there is both full and normal. I recomend changing both to the same image. In the same location you will find wifi labeled stat_sys_wifi. The signal strength icons are also there. However the ones that show up in the status bar are labled zz_moto_stat_sys_signal_5bar. These are the ones that need to be changed.
5.Battery icon. In the framework-res.apk. In the stock rom there are only 5% increments for unplugged and 7 for charging. If you use a different rom with the 1% batt mod you will need icons for every percent.
6.Clock. The color can be changed in two ways. First you can add android:textColor="TEXTCOLOR" to line 5 in status_bar.xml. Second you can change the text color in SytemUI/res/values/styles but this effects all notification titles as well.
Picture 2
1.Sliders. These are in the framework-res. Are under zz_moto_jog_tab. Only the ones that refer to left and right need to be changed.
2.Lockscreen overlay image. This is in the framework as zz_motot_gradient
Picture 3
1.Notification drawer close. Found in SystemUI as Status_bar_close_on
2.Notification drawer background. Found in framework-res. It is called status_bar_background
3.Notification items. Found in framework-res as status_bar_item_background. There is a whole set for pressed and focused that goes with it.
4.Notification Titles. AS stock these are solid colors controlled by shade_bgcolor in drawables.xml in SystemUI.
5.Individual clear button. This is in framework-res as zz_moto_btn_contorl_remove. There is also a series of these for focused and pressed.
6.Date title bar. As stock this is found in SystemUI as title_bar_portrait.
For 6 and 4 these can be changed and more info can be found here in Nottach's excellent guide.
7.The clear button. This image is in the framework-res. It is btn_default_small_normal. There is also a series of these. The text color can be changed on line 7 of status_bar_expanded.xml in the SystemUI.

This is definitely a great guide and something every one looks for every now and then. I will add to this as well when I get some time, there are so many though! haha.

cyanogen v6.1.2 minor theme

Has Liquid battery
wifi changes
bluetooth colorized
sdcard colorized
and more..
didn't get to signal bars yet.
put framework-res.apk in androidsdk/tools
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
if you get read only file...go to root explorer , system/framework and click r/w, and hold down file to open to permissions ..check all, also for framework-res.apk
seems cyanogen is using the same sizes and width from the mytouch 3g, I checked the sizes and there the same on certain icons. used parts from my3g themes.
if you want to add your own, open framework-res.apk,res,drawable-hdpi folder.
open ipg file and match up the properties with your own.
little something.

The battery icon is awesome. i like the theme.
I like it a lot. And definitely keeping it. Like WiFi, battery, and all the colors. I have to wonder if its more of a battery drain but I don't care if it is (though I tend to autohide the status bar)
The other thing I want to point out is that after I applied this, I had to re-add my accounts (gmail and Facebook) as they were forgotten. Not a big deal, just something to note.
You should see if you can submit this to the folks at cm to be merged into the Rom.

For Everyone That Loves The Rotary Lock Screen, But Hates That Stupid Horizontal Line

I've been using this fix on my own mods, as you can see from my screenies. Since editing androids xml files is an absolute pain in the arse, I've choosen to edit two png's with great effect. The two files are located within your roms framework-res.apk, so this edit isn't for your everyday user. A poor edit of your framework-res.apk can leave your current rom crippled. Having said that the two files are both located in "framework-res.apk / res / drawable-hdpi". Within drawable-hdpi, the files are "divider_horizontal_bright_opaque.9.png" and "divider_horizontal_dark.9.png". Be aware that the files used to produce that line may be different in different roms. I use this currently in a modified version of Trigger 2.9.2, without problems.
One method you may want to use to edit these files is by using an app from the market called "NinjaMorph". It allows you to edit apks on your phone.
And for those wondering, my rotary is completely custom, with an LCD density set to 200. At that density my screen width is actually 580px, so all related files need to be edited accordingly. Have fun...

Thanks! nice mod. i love messing with my framework a lil
- are you saying just to delete those 2 .png's from framework?
- also what horizontal line are you referring too? attached is a pic of mine and i dont see anything really that could be removed
Oh I think i see the line, is it above the charging and below the date?
EDIT -
- LOL, ok so its definitely not just DELETE those 2 .png's if anyone does that ur gonna bootloop(at least i did) restore nandroid and try again. I'm gonna try maybe to replace the .png with a different pic we'll see. I have a transparent .jpg ill try out.
- I wonder what about the exact opposite .png's? "divider_horizontal_bright_.9.png" and "divider_horizontal_dark_opaque.9.png"
I'll keep playing with it
Appoligies for the belated reply...
Firstly, never, ever, ever, just delete things from your framework-res file. Like I said, It'll cripple your rom.
Second, I apologize for not clarifying, I attached the 2 files to my post. But like a retard, I forgot, ((( They're Transparent PNG Files!!!! ))) lol.. they're attached to my post, you just can't see them because they're quite literally, "invisible". Here's the relevant Links.

And yes, your spot on with the horizontal line location. It can be seen in virtually all rom's with a rotary lock.

Themeing Help

So I've kanged together the captivate firefly theme onto my phone running project V, and everyhing looks good and is working good except this

I'd like to either get rid of the words or expand the box that they're in so you can see the whole thing. I'm assuming that they're in an xml file in the twframework somewhere but can't seem to put my finger on it. Any help is greatly apprreciated.
you have to edit the image itself, since its not expanding automatically im gonna assume its not a 9patch image, so you have to add to the bottom of the image so it doesn't get cut off, or you can just remove a part of the image so that it doesn't show the text
Thanks for the reply. I had thought of that and the image is just the icons not the words. I searched through every image looking for those words to no avail
Edit: changed my font and it changed the font of the words so its definitely coded in somewhere

Status bar expanded in twframework res. That file is quirky though. Snag the file from the trigger theme and test it
If you want to edit it yourself, remove the / from each /@layout and just find the layout for the controls and decrease the height.

I tried the switcheroo but it didn't work. I opened the .xml file using notepad ++ but have no clue what I'm looking at. I took html in high school but this is a little over my head. I was hoping to see numbers I could easily change but that was not the case. Thanks for your help!
edit: scratch that didn't decompile it right. Think I got it now....
I finally got it.
I pinpointed that status_bar_header_background and status_bar_header_background_01 were my culprits. I ended up just using the ones from the sgs2 theme and painting them black.
Thanks everyone for the help!

48x48 RGB .png
72x72 RGB .png

Was thinking something similar for the current icon.
if anyone needs the icons .... attached.
I only know of 4 icons in the apk. There might be more? I do not know the structure 100%.
But I would appreciate it if anyone with good shop skills could make the shopping cart black or grey and have it still look good. I tried and the WHOLE bag came out black with no depth to the icon. I just used the quick selection tool
help is appreciated.
I used the muCommander to edit the apk by renaming it to .zip
To install the one I posted it needs to be draged and dropped into /system/app/
I just read the description for this section.. MODS please fix/ move
Anyone?
Please help with some photoshop skills.

Actually, yeah, I like that. Pretty much what I was looking for. Much appreciated. Now to rebuild Google Play again.
I know I'm pushing it with this handout. BUUTTTT. any chance of a slight gradient on the front of the bag similar to the "Attached Thumbnail" version? I'm just going to use the ones you posted for now but interested to see how the gradient version would look.
Also, hate to be picky. But the Transparent background needed for the icons. Its white.
There is a gradient on them, just watch close (or maybe move your screen and you'll see it).
And i've uploaded 4 PNGs with no background, don't know why the forum has added one to the 144x144.png...
Btw, get this pack from here, they'll have no background :

Ideos-like touch key icons theme (Ideos Accents White)
- Still visible with any type of BG.
- Works best at size 70 and a transparency value of around 40.
- Made by a novice designer(me).
- Quite Simple to make.
I made a theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58453141&postcount=79
I made a simple theme by editing a few pictures i found online and making a few myself in ms paint. I used online-image-editor.com to add transparency too. I hope you guys like it. Actually I first made only a full white one but then as it would be invisible on a white background, i played around and made a few variations of the same thing. Use the one you like or make your own combos.
I've added a screenshot of the bordered white theme i'm using now with the size 27 and 3 pixel spacing.
I posted this in the original thread of the app. Please use the link to download them. I'm planning to use the same template and make one with black and white bands and leave all other insides and outsides transparent so that it will be even more minimalistic and still be usable in all backgrounds. I'll post that too when i do it.
I made the minimalistic one i told above about. This is the one i'll be using from now. Its more transparent, smaller filesize but still visible on all backgrounds. Feel free to mix-n-match to make your own theme.
