[MOD-42] Replacing system background - Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

Can someone explain to me how to mod the system background on the 42 firmware (the background when you go to settings)?
I tried to replace images in 2 files:
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\semc_bg.png
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\semc_bg_bright.png
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\semc_general_bg.png
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-land-hdpi\semc_bg.png
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\semc_bg.png
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\semc_bg_bright.png
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\semc_general_bg.png
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk\res\drawable-land-hdpi\semc_bg.png

Nothing changes. Also choosing other themes from within the SE Theme Chooser does not work. The images are the same resolution and format. No errors whatsoever. Am I missing something?

You need to mod the DefaultThemes.apk for that.

Ok And for the divider horizontal ? ( separator between two notifications ? you know ?
Which files ?
"divider_horizontal_bright." Can be .png or .9.png. It is most probably that.
(I had edited/replaced all the files starting with "divider_xxxx")
if I replace the files mentioned above with other...the background will change?

SystemUI and Framework-res APKs? (Update: LTE icons found)

Can someone supply me with their stock Framework-res and SystemUI APKs?
EDIT: Look what I found (attached as a zip file). LTE network icons. Pretty interesting. For anyone that wants to pretend they have LTE connectivity, the icons are there.
There you go sir!

These are from Stock framework and systemUI? If so, we can use these in the UOT kitchen for battery mods, etc, right?
Yes these were the stock Apks. As for ur other question I don't want to assume anything.

Yes you can. However, if your framework and systemui apks are different from the ones in the first reply, you'll lose any changes you made (if you made any).

I'm still on stock and haven't made any framework/systemUI changes, so I should be good to go, Once I root, I can start working on some battery mods

why would this be, cuz i messed around with framework and systemui then used like root explorer to go place it back into /system/app/ it should work as per the changes right?

If someone modified their apks and used the stock ones to add a battery mod, for example, the result would be a completely stock framework with the modified battery. This would cause them to lose any changes they made to the framework (outside of the battery mod) before they replaced it. Same thing applies for the SystemUI and anything else. To avoid all of this, the best choice is always to use apks directly pulled from your device.

[Q] Where is it?

Where is the image of the split line in the settings.
I mean the line divide Xperia,Wireless & networks,Call settings,Sound,Display etc.
Is it a png in framework-res.apk?Then which file is it in?
Thanks so much!

drawable-hdpi folder search for "divider" files

I think he didnt meant generic system dividers used in whole system. But just the semc dividers used only in semc apps - thats why I am sure they are not in "generic" framework-res.apk.

[Q] how to change the system font color to blue?

Hi! I would like to change the system font color to blue but I do not know where edit. Someone help me?
You need to edit a few xmls, and depending on the font depends on the xml. colors.xml, styles.xml, status_bar.xml, found in the framework.apk and SystemUI.apk

No. What you will want to do is edit the images in SystemUI_Theme_<Black/Black_Gradation/White/White_Gradation>.apk. Those apks are located in /system/app/. Or you can select a nice premade apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/softkeys-update-t2804742

That would have been nice to know...
Edit the nav images in /res/drawable-xhdpi/. They start with ic_sysbar_xxxx.png. EX: ic_sysbar_back.png.
If you are on a Lollipop AOSP ROM ask someone else.
Edit: for this phone you probably need to copy those same images to drawable-xxhdpi.
