Hey guys, I'm building a theme for the CM rom to use all the htc taskbar shiz.
I am having trouble modifying the text color of the date and time.
Notifications can be changed within the rom, but if those are close by too it would be nice to know how to change those.
I'm pretty sure these details are stored in services.jar but need help accessing them and changing them back to white.
Calling all themers! Thank you!
EDIT: found another write up to try. I will try that first
(This was posted after failing several step by steps)
Edit edit: Tried like 5 tutorials with no dice. Any help? I tried using the colorchange.jar but am getting an error cannot find clock line. I tried manually editing the classes.dex. Still no change.
Here is one guide
Couuld anyone give me some pointers on this?
Trying to edit the look of the espresso mod, but I can't find the files I need/want.
What files do I need to change/edit to change the look of it?
Does anyone know what .smali file the clock on the notification bar is located at and what code can be used to make it disappear? I found out how to do it on 3.70, but I'd like to do the same on CM7. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Once the UI Tweaks are put it cm7 you can remove it from there. No code editing will be needed.
I want to edit the phone.apk for cm7 without modifying the whole theme... I have looked everywhere for a phone metamorph and I was unsuccessful in locating this maybe someone could direct me to a thread that may help me?
N/m will wait for better themes for CM7
hey New to the xda fourms but looking for some information about skinning I got a few questions which I've trolled over xda very little and some other sites that never directly point me in the direction I'm looking to go. I have worked with linux is in the past. ex puppy linux which I was very fond of for user information about anything to do with puppy. but I have just learned from trial and error . anyways my questions are as follows.
1.I'm wanting to build a skin for rcmix 3d ver.4 creating sense 3.5 New look and feel while changing icons for a list of apps besides the skin and sense,how do I go about changing icons/skins in apps I download?
2. what programs do I need to take on this task?
3. I am currently not using linux,using windows7 to do this, is this going to matter? or should I switch to a linux based os?
in the end all I wanna do is change the bling appel of my phone with my own custom look not someone else's idea. a basic point in the right direction would be a big help. I my even post some skins to add to the dhd world.thanks in advance.
I want to ask the same questions:

If you want to get away the easy way, then:
1. Download rom of your choice (.zip format)
2. Extract framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from that zip file (you'll have to look in the data folder).
3. Go to UOT kitchen and go to file upload tab and then select "upload system files" then upload the ones you've just extracted.
4. Once they are uploaded, you can browse through all the tabs and select things of your choice.
5. When you're finished selecting, go to Sumery tab and cook your files.
6. Wait for 5-10 minutes then go to pickup tab and you should have your .zip ready for that specific rom
7. Flash the .zip
8. Enjoy!
Note: For every rom, the framework and systemui.apk is different so for every different rom you'll have to extract those files from .zip file of that rom
hey thanks,I have been looking at that kitchen cooking but I'm looking for a more manual approach at doing things. can I do that same step guide but manually skin it myself?
how do I manually recompile after I'm done?
I have been creating icons for a little over a week with gimp on windows on free time with a theme in mind looking for more of a one of a kind idea and then maybe adding themes to the dhd network after I get a handle on it, so looking to create theme packs. I been trying to do it with a few apps but I can't get the icons out of the apps to show up when I pull it apart so I figure I'm missing something I would need to go about doing my work. am I missing extensions I need to complete this?

To change the icons in downloaded apps you will need to decompile the apps apk then change out the icon in the app, them recompile. Mind you it will get replaced again when the app updates. A search would lead you to many themeing tuts on XDA
