Classes.dex

What file in the classes.dex controls the color of the new notification bar? The green like in the new SR 3.5? I forgot to write it down and I modified it before. I need to know the name of the file and the line to edit. Thanks

Change lockscreen slider color??

i saw somewhere once on an Epic that the stock Samsung lock screen slider was a red circle and red arrow up with the lock in the middle. I can't seem to find the thread in order to do more research or get what i am looking for.
so does anyone know how i can get my slider icon to be red instead of the greyish black it is now?

Flash a theme, or if you only want the lockscreen then delete all the images except the lock.

Are you using the standard or the aosp lockscreen?

standard samsung on Epic

The images you are looking for are found in the framework-res.apk file.
Specifically i think you might be looking for /res/drawable-hdpi/
zz_unlock_arrow.png
zz_unlock_arrow_msg.png
maybe even
zz_unlock_lockbg.png
zz_unlock_lockbg_press.png

using Root Explorer i can get to /res/....but there is not a folder for drawable-hdpi
anymore thoughts on places to check?

Nope, that's where it is for moi. Weird. Try unzipping the whole folder then look on /sdcard/extracted/ and see if it shows up there.
If not maybe post your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk here and i can take a look.
edit: Maybe mine's different since technically we don't have the stock TW Launcher. We have a slightly modified one on Bonsai.

Apk's are just archives. You can use your favorite archiving application to modify the APK ( i like WinRAR ). All I normally have to do is open the APK with WinRAR and take the modified PNG's (not .9.pngs - these have to be run through eclipse first) and drop em in to the folder you want. Boosh! Done.
I'm seeing the files right where we said they'd be. you still don't have 'em? /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Inside framework-red.apk is a folder called res. Inside that is drawable-hdpi, all the way at the bottom of that.

Its in framework res.apk too look for status bar background. There are two one is a bigger png which is for when you pull it down and that's a dummy file because on the epic its inside twframework-res but the other is a small box and a .9.png so if you don't know how to edit them borrow one from a working theme.

Download apktool by iBotpeaches. Get the aapt for windows. Extract both the things in the same folder. Get framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk in /system/framework and place it in this folder. Now shift+right click in that folder and open cmd there. Type - apktool if framework-res.apk nozomi
Then type - apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk nozomi
Now place settings.apk in that same folder and type - apktool d -f -t nozomi Settings.apk
Then make any changes that you want to do and type - apktool b Settings
Collect your new apk in Settings/dist. Then open your original settings.apk with winrar and also open your new apk with winter. Copy the Meta-inf folder from old to new and chose store as compression method. Enjoy!

Ok. I can trying doing it, if you help me with something else. I will give you an Settings.apk. You gonna decompile it and look at every .xml file for the WhiteMagic line. When you find it, I will try to add it and help ya.
Here is it: Decompile, go at all .xml files and search for WhiteMagic inside the .xmls. When you find, tell me the file and in which line it is located.
Sorry: Dropbox failed. I will get you the link when it works again.

Thanks. That should do it. I will take a look at it when I have access to my PC. Should be fairly easy to do. I will test on my first, and if I manage, you can upload yours so O can mod for you.
Wow... This is harder than I thought. But Niaboc helped me find it. He will teach me so I can do it myself

HOW TO : Credits to rayford85 (Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243705)
Decompile prism.apk and go to
res/layout/all_apps_pagedview.xml
look for this line
Code:
<com.htc.launcher.pageview.AllAppsPagedView android:id="@id/all_apps_paged_view"
add a background tag like this
Code:
<com.htc.launcher.pageview.AllAppsPagedView android:background="@drawable/appdrawer_background" android:id="@id/all_apps_paged_view"
next put your custom image named appdrawer_background.png into the drawable-xxhdpi folder & recompile your apk
Good Luck !

Softkeys installation

Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!

Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.

somebody can help please?

Hi, yes we can help, but keep patient ^^
I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

If you upload the zip you are trying to edit then I can take a look to see what's wrong :good:

Thanks for the responses guys!
I'm not insulted I'm just human and I can make mistakes so everything is cool
I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>
<rom>ICS / JB</rom>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
The xml file after the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:
Code:
http://speedyshare.com/TVepR/MMZT-softkeys-stockreflect.rar
If I can give any more details please let me know
And thanks a alot for the effort
I appriciate it

In fact you must update edify with the zip from the rom you are currently using... I don't know the vanilla rom, in what is it special?

Hey mate,
It's not a rom,
It's the stock android that we have on nexus devices ...
What you get from system update through the phone
Over the air android.

Oh I thought the vanilla was the name of a special rom...
Anyway, try the attached file. But make a full non-droit backup, we don't always know what happens...
