Those all look like they may be .9png files but I honestly wouldn't know where you could find them. Sorry...

I'm not a dude.
Anyway, one of the worst parts of theming is the hunt and search for things and many times what you're looking for is not where you think. Don't be discouraged if you don't get responses. Sometimes people really don't know the answers to your questions.
Just keep checking the many theming help threads.
Sorry just noticed I had a mention.
The first pic is a divider. I believe the name is like, header_divider and it is indeed a .9.png. But if you are blacking it out, it should not be a problem.
The second pic I don't believe is in framework-res anymore. In KK they switched those into each app. I am pretty sure. So you need to take a look in SecSettings. Not really sure of the names. What I usually do is look for the color, if they are close and the name somewhat matches up with the position than I change it.
Let me know if you need any help with .9.png, I am pretty good with them and they can be a little tricky at first to get them just right

Bingo!! Right on target :good:
Except for the fact that the names of the files are tw_tab_divider_holo.9.png & tw_tab_divider_holo_light.9.png...
and just to update you further ... the other files (regarding the 2nd pic) ... these files are still in the framework-res ....
Thanks for the help .... really appreciate it

Oh sorry was looking on my phone, now on PC.. So it looks like they are patched correctly, accept for this one:
Top border is a little distorted..
But the others.. They are all different pngs. So you have to take the time..find each one and then make them play nicely together.. You want it to flow right? Continuous white border right?

Hey hit me up on G+ @ [email protected].. I just want to get the overall gist of what you want to do
Try this:View attachment framework-res.zip
That should be everything..
Also look here:
The spaces between here is a result of the divider.. If you know the name of it off the top of your head.. Pass it this way and I will add in a white border..
You can change the images however you want.. But those are the only ones that need to be modified..

if anyone else has some more please do add them
I got tired of waiting for someone to include a rom with the stock google calander built in and launcherpro too so i made it myself....i even got android commander to work with the vibrant which helped ALOT
screen shots arent the correct colors due to that function on android commander not made for the vibrant.....hope you like it
http://www.mediafire.com/?rf9kf3408mcble8
I don't see a screen shot and there have been a lot of people that have tried the stock calendar, but there is a white bar across the first week so a lot of decided not to use it.
I personally just use "Calendar Pad" from the market.
yeah the touchwiz is sooooooooooooo integrated into the phone it has its own extra files in the frame work, it took me an hour to dig and find that bad boy but i found it and edited to be clear..(wouldnt work if i deleted it). anyway my net connection is garbage so ill try to upload it somehow....but in the meantime here is the screen shot
Would you mind uploading/attaching just the file you edited to be clear to your original post?
When I searched, I thought it was editbox_background_focus_yellow.9 but changing that didn't work when I tried to modify it, so I'd love to take your file to drag-and-drop into my battery mod version of framework-res.apk
cheers,

yeah see its stuff like that, that makes uploading our stuff not worth the time... A thank you is always appreciated, a shout out (name-drop) is appreciated more.. Most of all, donations are nice too...
unless you give credit where it is due, its called stealing... if you know what you are doing and can modify yourself, why not use your own work or credit the originator in your OP...

Hi Community
has anyone yet played around with framework-res for 2.1?
i tried a bit.
seems to me that not only the basics but 90%+ of the "theme" (icons, bg, other color giving PNGs) are now located in framework-res.
so basically to change whole theme you need a working framework-res & then search the even fewer (than 1.6) spots left blue ^^
here's my first atempt (yes it's awful, but nontheless good result for my first steps )
though, i do not recomend use this, as i kinda mixed up sth with .9.png, popups kinda look funny sometimes, still haven't found all i broke ^^

please post a factible metod for change FRAMWORK-RES.APK
or post a tutorial
Roberto: jajajaja te registras y to xDDDDD anda que! tu primer mensaje!!! xDDD y yo llevo ya pffff....
ok here we go with how to flash it without startup loop:
basically it is safe to just take an already running installer ^^
i choose Chewitt's theme installer for my purposes.
like his work on x10 & thought it a great installer for themes.
edited a bit, if you like i can give you my package, though i might have to retranslate to english, since i ported it to german for a german forum
give me some minute
edit: here we go
but pay attention! it unsecures your shell, giving a computer or script root in EVERY case ^^
resecuring though can be done by doing step 1 with other chmod value

Thankssss =)
working perfect in xperia x10 mini pro!!!
I dont know if multiply the same thread makes any sense.
When firmware update will be available for my unit i also update my theme to 2.1.
good job!worked fine on x10 mini..
Do we need to resign the framework-apk before using the installer?
anyone played with /system/media/bootanimation.zip ?
I have start to edit the lockscreen. But its not ready yet.
First pictures
Edit: does anyone know how to change the clock on lockscreen?
my best guess would be to edit the widget provided by se ^^
seems to me perfectly the same ^^
any1 tried?
k that was rubbish ^^
btw, does anyone know where to find the "end call" button?
i found a dummy in SemcPhone, but did not change a thing (since it changes with language i think it to be a drawable xml..)

DigitalClockWidget.apk
BTW (and sorry for the offtopic), can you tell wich app are you using to take the screenshots ?? I´ve tried a lot and all of them make the shots unviewable filling the whole picture with distorted and messed lines (even the same apps were working perfect on donut).

i use Droid Explorer on PC...there's a screenshot and even a screencast...
haven't found an app that works on 2.1 mini/pro yet...
wish someone could break the bootloader already so we won't have to painstakingly edit each png file we could find...
i would if i know how...
great work for everyone here!
you guys are brave!
wow! this is amazing! i rly hope u are done with this soon, its gonna be my first priority to download!! good work.
well as i posted previously i already tried to alter DigitalClockWidget.apk
the widget changed, but the lockscreen..
so DigitalClockWidget may not be (the only?) source
and well yes i altered images in ALL folders where i found clockrelated pngs
(there are three if i remember correctly..)
You can do a logcat while activating the lock screen on the phone.. Maybe you have some clues there...
that lock screen looks awesome! but wouldnt it be better if you did it black to go with a black theme I think that would look better, I'm not really fond of blue
EDIT: search for ShootMe in the market for screenshot app
Can anybody help me?
I want to remove the ghost wallpapers from my X10.
Let me explain it.
When there is supposed to be no wallpaper, even so I can see a hellish burning lady in flames in my screen (or should I say in my screams?).
Before the last system upgrade there was no burning lady. There was another phantasmagorical wallpaper showing a quiet bluish cold heavenly celestial scenario.
I'd like to know which files (or maybe witch files) has those macabre apparitions, so I can change them for some less spooky ones.
It's easy if you provide a screenshot
????
i think that your joking around around or you have a serious demon problem. they getting rid of occult thing from your house or person.
Here you are.
Nope, there is no joke. To my dismay, this shade have been haunting my X10.
Does somebody know this hellish lady?
My frnd u have been cursed!!!!. Run for ur life! !!" Throw away the phone! !!

System Exorcism
OK, maybe the phone is in a bad spiritual condition, but I don't want to thrash it. So how do I exorcise it?
Besides installing the holy Bible, I'm searching for the technical answers. Perusing the forum, I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458001
but I'm pretty sure I uninstalled the FeraLab ROM a long time ago.
Now the question is: which file I forgot to uninstall from Fera's ROM? or... in which file(s) Fera kept the hellish lady?

Try doing a search for all .jpg and .png on your your phones SDCard through your computers file explorer. If you find those images, delete them.

Thank you for your idea, but sadly I could not find the file.
I really think this image is inside a system file, like framework or something like that, but which one I don't know.

I'm not in a "pure" ROM. I took a bunch of files from some ROMs to test, but I can't figure where this image is hidden.
Now that I presuming I found the ROM which the pic came from, maybe the solution is ask the question to Fera.

r you could just change the wallpaper? and im pretty sure its in system/app the xperiawallpapers apk :0 just delete that but then you lose all of the xperia wallpapers
Should be in xperia home or wallpaper apk. Folder directory system/res/drawable-hdpi. Check whether is there or not. If yes, replace it with some picture with exact same name, size of length x width. Or not, its something to do with image or OS. Hope helps.

most probably home.apk
1-just tap and hold your screen...select another wallpaper..
2-if you want permanently remove it extract rom.zip go to "system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable'
- check default background (change it with same name, same size)
No more hellish burning ladies!

Perfect solution. Thank you very, very much.
The problem was not the Home.apk nor the Wallpaper.apk, but you're right, the culprit was the "Default Wallpaper", and you're right about the place in which he "lives".
No more hellish burning ladies!
Thank you again, now I finally can have peace in my soul.
