Hi,
I'm working on making a theme for the Samsung Galaxy S and one of the things I've been looking to do recently is to change the text colour of the notifications in the pull down menu. So I edited some of the XMLs and it seemed to work...almost. Here's a screenshot below of what I've done so far for reference:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The media scanning entry here shows what I can only assume is black text where in fact everything else as far as I can see is the green colour I intended it to be [#ffa4c639]. I can't seem to figure out why this is. Here's a list of the XML files I've modified so far to get to where I am:
framework-res.apk
/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml
SystemUI.apk
/res/layout/status_bar_call_ongoing.xml
/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml
/res/layout/status_bar_icon.xml
/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event.xml
Have I missed something out from this list? If you need me to include anything else here just let me know .
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks .

THat covers the normal but alot of apps dont refer to those color codes and instead use ones defined by the app its self. Reason that dark menu themes will always have black on black issues with some apps.
I would find the apk that controls the media scanner and decompile it and look inside that
hello tell me how you use the editor XMLs!

So...I have VinceOB's modded Rosie (centered all apps and no text, LINK) but would like to mod the delete, settings, and launcher icon.
I decompiled in M10, edited images in Rosie/assets/Port/scenes/Rosie_navbar (as attached) but when I put it back together, nothing sticks. I don't see the launcher in any of the regular res folders...am I missing something?

}
I'm basically looking for someone to tell me I'm stoopid or that the files I need are actually in Fusion.apk, which (obviously) we cannot mod, just yet.
You can't edit Rosie 3.6 images. It has to be done via the m10 editor. I'll mod it in a bit. I'm watching Wrestlemania. Lol wait, what exactly do you want edited?
I guess I don't understand what you're saying...in M10, all my images show after compiling and re-decompiling

You can't modify images in Sense 3.6. In the newest leak the images are removed. What are you trying to accomplish?
I mainly just want to change out the plain-jane "all apps" icon...

Mind if I ask how your modded background bar stuck, then? I changed that as well, just to see if I could get anything to stick, and it's stayed transparent....

I did that in the M10 code. I have something I wrote up on how to edit the navbar. Let me see of I can dig it up.
PM sent.
Don't worry about it...thanks anyway.
Very frustrating when HTC keeps changing all this crap so nobody can mess with it (guess that's the point).
Hey Guys,
I need some help finding a texture. I have been looking for it more than 5 weeks and I simply cant find it.
Take a look at those screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am looking for the greyisch texture on the right part of the settings app. Since its being used in some 3rd party apps I thought it should be in the framework-res.apk and I changed a whole lot of images, but that texture never was found.
Since its not the first time I ask this question, just FYI of course i have the holo background themed and the dark dialog files too. My Power menu is black, but I just cant find it. I also talked to some themers over in the transformer forums, but sadly I couldnt get the answer I was longing for -.-
Here is my framework-res.apk
Framework-res.apk
Plz, if you can help me take a look at my apk and tell me what I am missing.
Thanks in advance
backgrounds like that arnt images
itll be in a xml somwhere
look in the general ics theme xmls in framework
or try looking in the xmls in settings
to speed it up
take a screnshot then find out the hex code for that colour using the eye dropper on photoshop or somthing then just search that code in any xmls it could be in

itll be in layout-(whatever pixle density your device is) folder
or
this may be wrong
but they may have it as a set colour so look in the values folder for styles.xml
actually try this one first as itll only take a second
I searched in systemui, framework and settings, but I didnt get a hit in any layout folders or value folders
sorry dno then
G'Day XDA,
Just wondering if anyone could please help me. I am trying to change the colour of the ring around the phone icon on the left hand side from this green colour to a different colour.
I have edited all the images in the drawable folders and edited all the xmls in the layout folders and values folder.
I suspect it might be smali code that I have to change, but that may as well be written in Swahili for me because it makes no sense at all.
I will have to deodex, edit and then reodex if it is in the smali folder which I am willing to do, but I want to change this colour.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

I managed to find it. I had to deodex the apk (I'm using a stock odexed rom) and in smali/com/android/phone I had to edit a file called IncomingCallWidget$Handle.smali . I searched for the smali code for the green colour on the screenshot which is -0x9e5eeb (Hex code is #ff61a115) and I just changed it to the smali code for the colour that I wanted to change it to. Then I recompiled, re-odexed and voila!

Could anyone tell me how to change the two I guess they're called title bars circled in
red in the attached picture ?
PS : I already looked in framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk and didn't find them :/

They're not in the regular android framework, they're in the touchwiz framework. (TW_framework-res or something)

Technically that would mean that you mustn't uninstall TouchWiz ?

There is no way you can uninstall TouchWiz just like that. Do note that I am referring to the TouhchWiz framework, not the launcher SecLauncher2.apk (TouchWiz Home)
Have a look in settings.apk or secsettings.apk
Can't remember what TW uses
Edit.. Scratch that, you're looking for the background images, not the text? As shawty says, twframework-res.apk
Edit2.. Look for tw_list_section_divider_holo_light.9.png / tw_list_section_divider_holo_dark.9.png in framework-res, that should be the smaller one...

hey so i have the T-Mobile Galaxy s5
there isn't to many downloadable mods out there at this time, I'm sure it's because it's still fairly new
among the mods i usually like to add to my phone that i have had to make on my own is a Launcher mod
i usually have it setup as a 4X5 grid size, page indicators at the bottom & no wallpaper scrolling
I don't know how to mod apks but i read a tutorial on how to do it and as i looked for the SecLaucher3.apk file on my phone it was nowhere to be found
please let me know if you know where it is or if your willing to help with the apk modding

Decompile it first using apktool or something like it then you can edit the png or the value files in /values of the APK. I'm not going to explain all this in this thread, but there are multiple tutorials on how to decompile apks and mod them.
