[Q] Changing Settings Menu background - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
I was using the Turkbey ROM and liked the framework and icons that were used. I have changed to the illusion XT ROM and have copied the framework-res, twlauncher-res and the SystemUI pngs over to this ROM and everything has changed nicely.
The only thing I cant seem to find out how to change is the background of the Settings menu. I have copied all the PNG's over from the Turkbey ROM but believe this is set in a XML file somewhere.
Could someone please pont in the right direction?!?!?!
Thanks

Yes use ninjamorph and edit framework res & twframework res. Just download nero4 don't flash it, use astro go into system/framework copy the two framework res files paste them somewhere. I paste them in temp then go in them & copy the drawable hdpi v4 folder & paste it somewhere then use ninjamorph to change most of the stuff you want to change thats how I got the black menus on my macnut14. You can totally customize every inch of a rom taking what you like from other roms apps, icons, status bar stuff, anything

[Q] Notification Bar Modding

Hello all,
I am modding my notification bar but I am not getting the expected results. So far I have done:
* Deodexed my Atrix
* Copied the framework-res.apk to my computer
* Changed the images using UOT Kitchen
* Confirmed the imagens where changed, opening the framework-res in my computer.
So far, so good. But when I put the framework-res back to my phone I can see the notification bar black (the new color I have selected), with all text colors I set but all the icons still with the default ones, except the battery one. How should I proceed to change this stock Blur icons? I have looked everywhere and I have not found anything about it.
Thank and Regards
Ps: My Atrix is Retail Brazilian.
before trying that you should download the app "widgetsoid" it lets you customize the app bar to your liking.
try a different set of icons, im using the gingerbread set and it works perfectly
Are you just copying and pasting the new framework-res over the old one or flashing it with CWM?
You need to flash with CWM.
I was just copying it over and rebooting the cellphone. I will test also with CWM!
Thanks everyone for the help

wifi etc. icons gone [black field instead] after changing battery icon in systemui

Hi,
I'd appreciate your input on the following problem.
In custom recovery, I have installed the aroma file manager, copied the /system/app/systemui.apk to the sd-card.
On the computer, I have opened the systemui.apk with WinZip. I also opened a zip file that contained the battery pngs of my choice - I highlighted them and dragged them into the WinZip systemui.apk window (replacing the original pngs).
I copied the systemui.apk back to the sd-card, rebooted the phone into the recovery, started aroma file manager again, replaced the original /system/app/systemui.apk with my modified systemui.apk and checked the permissions.
I rebooted the phone. My new battery icon is there.
BUT where the wifi icon and the sd-card icon etc. used to be, there is a black field now - i.e. the icons are no longer shown, only black placeholders.
Any idea why?
What can I do?
Thanks

Have you changed the status bar bg by mistake? Also make sure that the battery icons are of same dpi as stock. Have you played with any other thing? (Transparency?)

Hi, I haven't change the status bar bg and I haven't played with transparency.
BUT I tried again.
This time I used another set of icons (the icons do have the same size as in my first attempt, though), again I copied them from a zip into the systemui.apk -- BUT this time I used 7-zip (instead of WinZip). And it worked. No problems after copying the systemui.apk back to /system/app and setting the permissions.
I don't know if there was a problem with the first icon set or if WinZip was the problem.
Summing up, it is possible to replace pngs in the systemui.apk in an odexed system by just dragging&dropping the modified apks into the systemui.apk (with the help of 7-Zip).
Yeah, using 7-zip is mandatory while creating archives for android. It's the same with flashable zips. I found out that you even have to use the windows version, it isn't enough to use 7-zip in Linux.

Theming help

Hello people, before we start i am new to android so i am not up to speed with everything yet. I need some help trying to change the settings background from white to either a picture or transparent.
I am using using the Xtrestolite rom for my G925F but would like to change the settings background. I have used various xposed mods to try to achieve this but non seem to work, wanam xposed, xbackground, gravitybox.
Next i used Tickle my Android to decompile the framework, systemui and tw_framework apks from the rom. From the guides i have read i think i should be looking for tw_background_holo_dark.xml but i cant find this file anywhere or a .png version (i guess these guides are for older android versions).
So i have edited various other files that i think relate to the settings background, active_background.xml, active_background_holo_dark.xml to transparent and solid colors and others but nothing affect the settings background. I also tried deleting the xmls and replacing them with .pngs of the same names and in different drawable folders.
I used Tickle my Android to make zips to flash and also put the edited framework apk back in to the rom folder and flashed the full rom but nothing works.
So before i waste a few more hours i will ask for a nudge in the right direction if anyone can help. Thank you
