Hello! I was hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction. I'm trying to edit the text colors of the notification pull down. My method is this.
~I first decompile the twframework-res.apk and navigate to /res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml and open it with notepad++
~I change all the values I want accordingly. #ff000000 for black and #ffffffff for white.
~After this I recompile the apk using apk manager. Compression 0 and heap size 512, Y system app, Y keep and then I go into the keep folder and delete the status_bar_expanded.xml I just edited. Then finish recompiling it and it goes through with zero errors.
~Then I push it to my phone and reboot. It goes Vibrant>TMO>Galaxy S logo>black screen and vibrating.
Is there another location where I'm suppose to edit these values as well? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Awww can noone help at all?

Still having issues?
Values have to be edited in framework-res.apk also
if it cause it not to boot it sounds like the new xml didnt copy over and isnt in the recompiled apk. That happenes to me a few times
Hello,
I had asked how to make the background of System App transparent a couple of weeks ago here.
But Nobody can answer the way what exactly I want to do so I finally figure out how to make the background of System App transparent~~
This is including for Phone, Contacts, Messaging, Settings, Music, Alarms, Email, Calendar, Calculator, Sync, Media Server, Clock, Media Discovery, Setup Guide.
This is not including for Timescape, TrackID, Support.. I'm still investigating and will update for this...
It's actually not make the background of System app transparent.... show the wallpaper in the background of System app.
So if you change wallpaper, the background of System app also can be changed to your wallpaper~~~
When I modified style.xml just for the transparency, it's so confusing because the other app behind of System app.
This is based on Rooted LT15i 3.0.1.A.0.145 O2 so working for 145 based Rom. But I'm not sure it's working for LT15i_3.0.A.2.181 Rom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[GUIDE HOW TO]
I add the guide which xml and png is modified so it will be helpful for someone who use the other version ROM.
It's so simple if you already know how to inherit from the other in android.
For framework-res.apk, first of all decompile framework-res.apk
Step 1 : In \res\values\style.xml
Change this :
Code:
<style name="SEMCTheme" parent="@style/Theme">
to
Code:
<style name="SEMCTheme" parent="@style/Theme.Wallpaper">
Save and close
Step 2 : In \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\semc_bg.png
Open with photoshop and make semc_bg.png transparent
Step 3 : Compile framework-res.apk
For SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, first of all decompile SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Step 1 : In \res\values\style.xml
Change this :
Code:
<style name="SEMCTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme">
to
Code:
<style name="SEMCTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">
Save and close
Step 2 : In \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\semc_bg.png and \res\drawable-land-hdpi-v4\semc_bg.png
Open with photoshop and make semc_bg.png transparent
Step 3 : Compile SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
For FBMediaDiscovery.apk, first of all decompile FBMediaDiscovery.apk
Step 1 : In \res\values\style.xml
Change this :
Code:
<style name="MediaUpdatesTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme">
to
Code:
<style name="MediaUpdatesTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">
Save and close
Step 2 : In \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\semc_bg.png
Open with photoshop and make semc_bg.png transparent
Step 3 : Compile FBMediaDiscovery.apk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please see the attached apk files.
Framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk is for System Apps and should push under /system/framework/
FBMediaDiscovery.apk is for Media Discovery in 145 based rom and should push under /system/app
Looks good, I'll test it out when I get home.
hi rleon...
...thank you so much dude, i've been waiting for this mod everything works perfectly fine....i have just one small request: could you possibly include the CRT screen off animation, or the reboot options mod?
That's what has just come to my mind, it'd be great if you could include those....if not, it's actually awesome anyway
Great~ everything works fine for you...
As I know, CRT Screen off animation and reboot option already exists in the other thread...
If you wanna just one framework-res.apk file including all things, I will try but I'm not sure~~
Please give me a time~~
Hi rleon,
Could you please give a detailed list of items / files / folders you changed or altered?
I'm trying to make the system backgrounds invisible aswell however it seems folders have different names in .181
Thanks for the hard work tho!
For framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, 181 Rom is same.
framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk should be located in the same folder which is under /system/framework/ so you can push these files under /system/framework/
And FBMediaDiscovery.apk is just for 145 based Rom so it may not be there in 181 Rom.
Please check whether there is FBMediaDiscovery.apk under /system/app ro not.
If not, you cannot push this file.
Hmm just tried to install them.. however I got a bootloop.
Anything special I should do while copying the files?
I think your 181 rom is different so it cannot be applied this apks.
I just compiled for 145 based rom...
I will update how to modify style.xml later so you can modify and compile for your 181 based rom by yourself....
That would be awesome, looking forward to it

Since I changed my rom to HK 145 rom, I applied your work to my arc. It looked good and nice and worked very well. Great job. Thank you very much.
I followed the instructions for framework-res.apk and got a bootloop.
Couldn't even decompile SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, I got error messages.
I don't suppose anyone might have any idea why?
Is it possible to have it as a solid black background?
and does this work on Xperia Play?

Hi , I had search every where how to change clock color on status bar in latest Samsung ROM ( JB ) but non-work
Coz its code is a bit different from other ROM. So here's how
Requirement :
SystemUI.apk
A bit knowledge about decompiling
Patience
First --->
Decompile your systemUI.apk, go res/layout/tw_status_bar.xml
Then --->
Search for this code
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock
Then --->
You will see
Code:
android:textColor="#fffefefe
behind it.
Now you may change whatever color you want by changing the code.
Here http://html-color-codes.info/ it maybe useful for you to find the color code
Note : The last 6-digit IS the color code, whereby
the two in front it is transparency.
It count by
#FF****** ( Opaque )
#00****** (Transparent )
It is recommended not to change the first two digits except you know what you are doin :laugh:
Now --->
Recompile your apk , drag resources.arsc and tw_status_bar.xml from your newly build APK to your old SystemUI.apk
Finally --->
Push your SystemUI,apk to system/app of your phone and reboot.
DONE.
DO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELP YOU !!!! CHEERS
Thanks
And to center the clock you can make an 'how to' ?

I would double check what codes you are using for the colors as I tried the html code and it wouldn't compile. When i searched for an ARGB color chart I was able to re-compile
Thanks for the info JoFury
