Does anyone know how to modify or change the default blank Silhouette in the contacts list? I believe Riptide9's ColorNClear theme had this mod by replacing the Silhouette with a blue Android icon. I am running Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS5. Thanks for any assistance.
this can be done by editing the framework-res.apk there is an .png for it which you can either copy over from riptides or use any you want.
ic_contact_picture.png, ic_contact_picture_2.png, and ic_contact_picture_3.png in the framework
picture_unknown.png in Phone.apk
ic_contact_picture.png in Mms.apk
You'll have to change all of them to get a uniform look in your contacts, when you get a call, while texting, etc.
These will change only contacts without photos correct?
Correct.

I am running ee1.29...I am loving the look except the text in the menus is stilll the ugly aqua...I am curious how I can mod the rom to make it the blue used in froyo? Thanks
Ok...so no suggestions...how about could someone mod it for me?
The text is aqua or the text is highlighted with an aqua backgroud when you press it? I do not use the same rom you do so could you supply a screen shot?

I'm guessing its in the Settings.apk file. You have to use apktool to decompile the .apk file and then you can read the xml and look for the color (ie FF000000 for white) and change it to what you are looking for.
I'll see if I can figure it out and attach the modified Settings.apk. Do you have a specific color you were wanting?

I appreciate your help, but I have moved on too froyo...thanks anyway
Ok so I've managed to edit a few of my apks on my phone to something that I like better and that's been easy because i knew the files I needed to edit would be in the apk itself. With me so far?
So now I want to edit some files on the ROM I'm using, but this is where it gets tricky, because I dont know if I need to edit the framework, SystemUI, or Roise, etc.... to get what I want.
So... here is my question: Attached is an image of my menu that pops up when I git my Meny button on my Evo. You'll notice my icons are pulled from another Rosie.apk which I replaced with my current Rosie.apk. I had to pull edit and push this mod because flashing it was not compatible with my current ROM. So now, that i have the icons I want, I want to make the background of this menu (and possible others) black transparent and the text white. I know this can be done because I've seen it and would like to know which files need to be edited.
Does anyone know that could toss me a bone??
I've also posted this on Android Central, but no one seems to know there...
for the menu background color it should be either menu_background or menu_background_fill_parent_width both in framework-res.
For the text color i dont know but poke around the .xmls in framework or ask here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468254&page=283

anyone know which files need to be edited in mms.apk to make it black background like on CM7??? running sense 3.5
Its crazy edits cause the colors come directly from HTC.resources.apk. they are XML edits and if u change then it effects other apk. U actually have to redirect where the color codes are coming from in smali edits within the apks and its not easy at all. Try using handcent atleast with that u can set the background and text colors through the app iteslf. Or u can try to invert it but unless ur good at smali and XML edit then ur out of luck. Jschisurf inverted the one from sense 1.0 back in the day so u might be able to use that as a reference. Google "inverted mms and jschisurf and xda" and u should find it

Hey, I've got a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon, SCH-I515) that I'm working on fully customizing to my liking and I had a few questions I was hoping to get some help with, mainly pertaining to changing the default font colors. I'm running Paranoid Android 3.1 (JB 4.2.2) as well as using Nova Launcher Prime. The basic idea of what I'm doing is changing the entire phone from a dark themed phone into a light themed phone. This includes everything, the dialer, settings menu, notifications menu, etc.
I'm currently using Ninjamorph to find all the image files to replace with their light counterparts I'm doing and though sometime tedious, I seem to be slowly finding all the files I need. The problem is I need to change the font colors now from light to dark so that I can see them with my lighter backgrounds. From what I understand, I'll need to go to the framework-res.apk/res/color and inside those XML files will be the coding for the font colors.
1.) If I can just email the XML file to myself from my phone and open it on my computer, what program can I use to read the XML file to change the values I need to? I figure after that I can download the edited file to my phone and use Ninjamorph to put it back into my framework-res.apk.
2.) Would I be able to change the background in the app drawer from black by default to white, from one of these XML files as well?
3.) Is there any way that this white housing (http://www.ebay.com/itm/new-Housing...261?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20cc67e87d) would fit my phone? It's designed for i9250 but if it'll fit I'd like to try it.
I attached some screen shots below of my phone so you can see the basic idea of what I'm trying to do and where I'm at. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!
Nothing guys? Really?
EDIT: Turns out that my carrier has decided that it needs three apks for the dialer res, just found my other set of resources in another contacts.apk Bloody carriers!!!
Hopefully someone can help me here.
I've been trying to edit the images for a personal theme, but I've come across a bit of a stumbling block in my Contacts.apk
The res images for the dialer in the contacts seem to not be present. I've compared to other SecContacts.apk and apparently my DcmContacts.apk (I have a docomo Note 2) doesn't have a /drawable-sw359dp-xhdpi/ that contains the images for the dialer background and such. However the dialer does have the stock touchwiz images for the dialer background and top/action bar. I cannot for the life of me find these images in any of the directories in the res folder of either my DcmContacts.apk or SecPhone_DCM.apk, I checked there just in case.
Now I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, where would the apk be pulling the res images from, would I need to edit smali or have missed something completely, another apk or the like??
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
