I make the background transparent in apps like phone, messages and settings
The question is: do I have to edit to accomplish this because the apk decompressed messages and phone but I see something that is the bottom

Yes you have to edit the apks or the framework.
Could you explain a little better the problem

I would like to take the icons from my Vibrant and use them on the LauncherPro Dock of my other phones.
Where can I find (for example) the Dialer icon... just the basic green dialer. My nexus has a clear/very little color icon, and I was not able to find our icon on some sites by googling...
Thanks.
bump, id like to hear the answer to this myself.

All of the system icons are located inside the .apk for the various system apps. For example, the Dialer is DialerTabActivity.apk in system/app/. If you open DialerTabActivity.apk in Root Explorer or WinRAR and look in /res/drawable-hdpi, you will find an image file named ic_launcher_phone.png. If I am understanding you correctly, that is the icon you are looking for.
Each icon would be located in a separate .apk for that particular application.
Just wondering if anyone can hook up a transparent status bar
Also for the sake of not starting a separate thread does anybody know how to add a default gallery such as quick pic to greyblur? Im talking specifically about the camera interface on the bottom left.
Clear status bars, while possible, don't work so well. This is because most apps have a background image and if the status bar is clear then you will see that image beneath it. So if you build a theme with a clear status bar that looks good on a home screen it won't look good in other places. Also when pulling down the notifications shade you see each part of it behind the status bar as you pull it down, which also looks weird. That said, if you'd like to see for yourself you can pick out one of my themes/ports and Ill make you a version with a clear status bar.
As for the gallery app question, have you tried clearing all your defaults? Try going to Manage Apps in Settings and clearing the defualt for gallery or gallery++, which ever you use.
thx for the reply. it seemed to work well on my old desire z but i see your points.
As for the gallery, i tried clearing all defaults but it doesnt work
Maybe try freezing the gallery app you dont want in titanium backup?
tried that too. all that does is just auto close the gallery and not fill it in with the new one.

I have it done on my phone, the issue with overlap during notification dragdown can be overcome with xml tricks in framework-res.apk. It depends on your firmware how well that goes. But as a starting point, all you need is to change a statusbar_background.9.png in framework-res.apk to be transparent. It helps if you run it through apktool to do the 9 patch stuff correctly. layout/statusbar.xml is another thing you'd want to mess with for the font colours, and there are a few one liners edits in services.jar for the clock colour, and transparent dragdown.
Cheers!
Whats the xml trick to have the pull down not show until beneath the status bar?

Weird, maybe rerun the deodex zip? To refresh all your apps. I'm just guessing now.
yea im gonna try this again.

For the Bell stock firmware I just made the date background wider (fill_parent instead of fill_content) and used a non transparent png. Soon as you start dragging, the date's background covers up the transparent statusbar. Other firmware have a different statusbar.xml setup with the carrier up top instead of the date, haven't played with it much, but in theory you can do the same thing, for the text for the carrier, make it fill_parent, and set a different background. One caveat is that the market messes with the statusbar somehow, so it's fragile/buggy.
Cheers!
Hello all,
I'm trying to build a ROM which has a dark theme but the problem is that you of course can't read black text on a dark grey background, in which files can you change the font colors, is it in the framework-res.apk XML's or somewhere else?
Thanks in advance.

While you can change the fonts (you will need to edit around 60 xmls in the framework, settings, systemui and any device framework file like com.HTC.resources.apk) you will still run into black on black with 3rd party apps and there is nothing you can do about it short of editing every apk.

Ok, thanks, then maybe it's better to put work in a light theme instead of the impossible font color changing job
sounds so hard
I'm making a theme on my defy, and can't find what xml is responsible for the contacts ant date/time color, recent calls background, messaging contacts color and date, and the message text and time stamp color in the bubbles. Does anyone know where to look for them ? Was looking in conversation.apk, dialer.apk, contacts.apk, phone.apk, blur-res and framework with no success. Oh and if there is a way I would like to change the messaging background. Btw I'm on MS2Ginger 2.1a. Thank you

Your gonna have to look in the layouts of the settings apk. Depending on the rom it could be in different places. Some of it will be from the frameworks apks and some will be in the settings apk
