Hello, maybe this is the wrong thread but i seem to not be getting any help over at Q&A's... I'm porting a theme from the captivate forums and for some reason my dropdown notifications have a transparent background and the text is black as well for any popup window like when you long press the homescreen to get widgets, and wallpaper chooser, so i think i need to modify either the framework-res.apk or the twframework-res.apk but don't kno exactly what file to modify to either get the text to white or get a background on those things... if anyone would advice me i'd appreciate it... thanks
Also if anyone could guide me into modifying the services.jar to change the clock color i would also appreciate it...

you need to edit the .xml files.
for notification you need to edit statubar_expand.xml and files that has similar name to that xml. dont exactly remember what its called.
its in framework-res.apk/res/layout
the notification pulldown background is in
twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

Well for the notification pulldown background ive got the one i wanted... what im referring to is when u have a notification, for instance you downloaded something from the market and u get successfully downloaded that one notification has no background it is set to transpare t and the letters are black so i can really read what it says...
anybody wishing to help?
If it is an image you need to edit to be non-black/transparent the file I think you're looking for is called "status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png"
Change that to a totally opposite color and see if that's it?
If you mean editing the color of the letters then I do not know what to edit in the .xml file.
Hope I helped!
How can I modify the XML files? 'cause when I extract them from apk file, all of them are protected, I can't read any codes. Can anyone show me how to fully unprotected them?
P/s: I always get this error "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource..." whenever I open xml file with IE.

they must be decompiled with apk manager
additionally when you recompile make sure to check the log as there will be several images that will be renamed from. 9.png to png you must use the draw9patch program found in the tools folder of the android ask to 9patch these images otherwise your apks will not compile correctly. Im on my phone now so I can't provide the necessary video link how ever simply go on youtube and search how to use draw9patch there is a very good beginners explanation (2 part) of what a 9 patch is and how to use the 9 patch utility

it varies, they can be in any folder really, but generally speaking that is where you will find most of them. Just check the logs and you will know exactly where to find them and what they were named.
was anyone able to figure out to edit services.jar in order to change clock color?

am trying to edit the framework-res.apk
am trying to change the images of the slider (jog_dial_bg_rev.png) but when i save it and then install or move the .apk to system/framework folder
the phone crashes? has this got anything to do with the MD5?
all i wanna do is change the slider image based on the CM7 pro v20 ROM
my reason is because the black shadow covers the incoming call number

Instead of extracting, Just open it with winrar or 7zip and drag and drop image in the 7zip window.

Hello
i have one question and need your help so i make my own rom but i want replace systemui.apk and edit build.prop
so how i can replace systemui do i need replace other file together with systemui or just replace systemui with one from other rom systemui.apk I would like to replace it as far as I know is in there the whole look and icons?and how i can in build.prop edit name of rom,version of rom and author of rom I already tried to edit build.prop tweaks and work fine but when i change rom id in build.prop my rom won't start when install rom so what i do wrong?
So please help me i not need tutorial i just need easy help ho replace systemui.apk do i need replace framework-res when i replace systemui.apk and how edit build.prop id etc......
please help me
systemUI .. i dont know much about, so took this infos from here
Part 1 Theming Android:
First you need the following Tools for this:
-7zip
-A Windows PC
Step 1) Go to your rom you like to Theme and grab you Systemui.apk From system/app Copy it to your desktop!
Step 2) Now open the file with 7zip by right clicking on the file and choose open with 7zip
Step 3) When you are in the Systemui.apk with 7zip go to the Res folder and open up Drawable-hdpi Depending on your phone it could be also Drawable-ldpi or Drawable-mdpi Or Drawable-xhdpi Now just open that folder!
Step 4) when you are in that folder you see a lot of .png files that are all the files you could theme now If you want to theme your Systemui.apk to ICS/JB/GB/Froyo etc... source for the systemui.apk from a phone who is running on that OS!
Step 5) When you have found that systemui.apk from the other OS Then open that Systemui.apk also with 7zip and go to the res folder and than to Drawable-hdpi!
Step 6) when you have bot systemui.apk's opend source for the .png's you want to theme for example you want to theme the wifi signal icon Source in YOUR SYSTEMUI.APK FROM YOUR PHONE to stat_sys_wifi_signal
then also find the excactly same .png in the other Systemui.apk from that other OS and start copying the Files!
NOTE: Please Check the names if they are the same otherwise the systemui will Force Close (Crash)
Step 7) Now when your done copying and theming Close The file and put it back in your rom Flash your rom congratulations you have themed Now your Android Rom!
build.prob is only a small textfile, edditing it via an txt editor is quite simple..
another solution for your customer rom making could be:
StudioAndroid a suit for modding android roms, and apps and so on. it is easy to use and does almost everything you want
or
Rom Maker , less features, a small simply to use version, alsowith build.prob edit.
build.prob tweaks can befoud here:

.. or look at some zweaking scripts, something like that
have fun, and dont forget to thank :good:

Hello to all, Today I found out and purchased the miraculous Jkay's mod, a pity not to have discovered before, it is really fantastic, congratulations to the author!
I have a question/request to ask to you, I have installed it on my galaxy s2 stock rom (XWLPF) and I like the classic interface of the stock, so no themes or colors of ICS, the problem is that inevitably changed the symbol of wifi in the status bar, let me explain better, the stok had the arrows that indicated by color the status of download/upload, with the mod or there are no arrows or are both white and are visible only in the case of up/down and I don't really like this...so the question/request is: can I change only the wifi symbol in the status bar and replace the old one? an how? Thank you very much, Bye
Yes, you can, by replacing png files in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.

can you explain me how I can do it? thanks!
Just pull these 2 apks to your desktop, open WinRAR, exctract drawable-hdpi from systemUI, search for wifi png files, edit with Photoshop, save and replace png files, copy new icons to drawable-hdpi, push drawable-hdpi to systemui with WinRAR, replace apk in your phone.
Somebody can confirm/correct the method?

So if I extract the original png from the apk in the restore .zip and i replace them in the apk in the framework's .zip and I install it from recovery I should have the standard icon?
Hi guys, this method doesn't work! the name and numbers of .png files in the original apk are different from the mod one.
Any other ideas? there are some icon packs that i can install from recovery?
thanks
