Does anyone know how to change the clock color to white I have no clue where its stored
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Guessing you installed the leaked CM rom? If so, yes, the default is white. Go into SETTING>CYANOGEN MOD SETTINGS>USER INTERFACE>STATUS BAR and go through the options to enable/disable, as well as change colors. Should appear right as you change them.
No I themed it myself I was just wondering if someone knew how the change that

It involves modifying a file called classes.dex within a .jar but the instructions don't match up for this device. The file isn't structured the same so changing the font color for the status bar is going to be tricky until someone figures it out...
download and extract the attached zip
put services.jar in the framework folder
put status_bar.xml in the layout folder in framework-res.apk
im assuming you know the rest lol if not pm me
I tried pushing the framework-res.apk and that was a derka derka moment. Completely borked my device. I know no other way.
So I've been trying to create a flashable .zip or metamorph for this modification but am obviously not smart enough.
Is it possible for this to be done by someone else? Or has it already been done and we're not using the search tool well enough?
Ok I deodexed my own rom and got the white clock thanks

Hello guys.
I already searched the web and xda and can't find a thread which explains how to change them.
I want to change the color and maybe the style of my status bar icons.i read about different methods.
I don't really want to use a different rom,with go launcher ex i've got everything perfect except the status bar icons.
I read that the icons arw saved in framework-res.apk. but i can't find any sets of these file to change it out.
I have a stock rooted s2 with android 2.3.6
Thanks for your help

Go to you SystemUi.apk (in system/app folder), copy it to your PC.
Open it with rar or with zip7.
You will get acess to the res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Unrar or unzip this folder to your desktop. In it are all the icons that you wanna change... change them as you like... Put the folder back on the apk using the same rar or zip7.
Now - finally - you will have to resign the apk again (search how, 1st time it´s hard to get it right).
Push it back to the phone, backup the original as systemui.bak, and write this one over it.
Install it, reboot.... enjoy
Thanks me 10x if I helped .

I meant to ask if you tried UOT kitchen??

Its easy to use but if you get stuck just ask.
Even simpler, use the theme kitchen.

You can even use it for odexed (stock) roms.

There is actually an app called NinjaMorph that you can get from the play store, its what I used for my S2 to changed some icons and you can do it all on your phone, the app will unzip then zip the apk automatically, all you have to do is pick the PNG your replacing the old one with, make sure you got the new PNG in your phones SD card that's all.

is there a way to change other icons? like wifi, data etc.. i have xposed. but i can only change battery icons with it.
I'm going crazy, I'm crazy for putting my STATUSBAR transparent (100% or 75%) and do not see how. I have but I will not put him ROOT any ROM.
I tried to modify and apk with apk manager and nadaaaaa tools.
Can anyone help?, Someone I could pass the file already modified systemUI.apk?.
Ayudaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Thanks in advance.
By the way I tried xda mods and all I've gotten is that it will delete the statusbar (then returned to the original meter and returned to his being).

first of all,I really appreciate ur help guys and I can never thank u enough for ur help.
ok,I looked all over the XML file and can't find the exact line to edit,i thought its cuz im using a modified systemUI,so I decompiled the original systemUI and extracted tw_status_bar.xml from layout to compare but still can't find the exact line to edit.
I found one line only with the same color code u mentioned so I changed it and recompiled,replaced and fixed permissions then rebooted and the status bar disappeared ! so I replaced again in system/app and this time wiped both caches and still status bar wont show up ! so ofcorse I put back my original systemUI AND got it back
I've attached my systemUI so may be if any of u have some time u can look at it and have a play ! ??
I'm running stock jb 4.1.2 LSD AND its odexed

hmm not sure were you found SystemUI.apk your working off of but its a freaking mess.
It looks like you compiled it with a chainsaw , Missing Dex etc all kinds of bad error jungle when i decompiled....
Anyway I pulled xml from it , made edit and packed it into worthy SystemUI.apk for error free recompile.
I then pulled edited file from apk and gift wrapped it for you vrtheme install.

oh my
Your apk is a mess as seen in screen shot so it would only make sense for you status bar to disappear....heck you should be in boot loops.
And this is only half of errors displayed within apk.
Lets start over,
This thread / forum its not the place for it , In the future you would want to go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
For now get your creation working on device , extract working copy SystemUI.apk , send it to me in PM & I will make color edit to its status tw_status_bar.xml

i'm sure my SystemUI looked twice as bad after my FAILED attempt trying to get a transparent status bar background with white text.
I'm trying to do the same mod of changing the color of the battery percent, but when I open the XML file both on my phone and on my PC, it's almost all scrambled and unreadable. Is there a special encoding it needs to be opened with? I'm using a stock rooted deodexed ROM.

You can't just extract an app and open xml files. The app must be decompiled first, changes made, then recompiled. If you are a noob, I would suggest TickleMyAndroid as a starting place. There is a thread.

SO...with the release of the new Sense 5 Roms for our beloved One X I'm not seeing any themes (I know it's early).
I've had a go at porting a few over by decompiling the systemui.apk, updating the images and recompling as you used to with the original sense 4+ roms but keep losing my status bar!
I'm just starting small at the moment, changing wifi icon, battery, signal etc etc but then I'm going to move onto app icons. The venom themes are epic and it would be awesome to see a few on the sense 5 ui!
Wondering if the geniuses here can shed some light, I haven't found any tutorials or help guides as of yet, hopefully this will start as a decent pool of information,

which tool are you using?
if you are using apktool, have you copied META-INF folder , from the original APK, inside the new one? ( Old signature)
after pushing it to the device, have you set permissions? (rw-r-r--)
Cache and Dalvik-cache wiped ?

ooooo didn't think about the META-INF...I'll give it a shot in the morning.
All the other steps i've done, multiple times. It's as if the systemui.apk doesn't apply during boot so maybe it is the meta file!
And I'm using apktool to decompile...recently found it better that going through the hassle of virtuous 10 suite

yep, apktool doesn't sign the apk, so you need to keep the old signature
Signing systemui.apk is not necessary. I tested many times.
To change pngs(especially patch9 pngs), just copy and paste to the apk with 7-zip if apktool get error or SystemUI FCs.
P.S. Please use the most original apk to modify if it's failed in previous build.

Not bothering with patch9s I hate those things!
For some reason everytime I push a new
SystemUI.apk to my phone, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik (for good measure) it won't apply so I lose the status bar and background etc. Essentially no system ui applies!
It's a pickle, im on ARHD at the moment so will have a go at decompiling! And try again
Funny thing is, someone made a made mod on here already for 1% battery, and even installing that doesn't work!...I'll keep tinkering

unfortunately for me is the same.
i'm trying to add a new item to settings.apk (SuperUser), i have edited all required xmls, added png, recompiled than signed, but no way to make it work.
i have also tried with zipsigner app using platform keys, but no result.. Settings won't show
Success (well a little)
Soooo....I've managed to mod the battery!
I'm going for a sort of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon 80's style eventually, but this is the first step! Now for the wifi/signal etc. etc.
So this is what I did...
Got an existing circle battery mod with the same naming convention (since I can't be bothered to rename 100 files )
Recoloured them all in photoshop and increased the pixels size to 50 x 50
Deleted the battery icons in the existing SystemUI.apk via 7zip
Added the modified battery icons to the apk
Then pushed to the phone via adb
It automatically rebooted and viola! I may run 'fixed permissions' from recovery to be safe and wipe cache/dalvik to make sure but it's looking good!

hey guys, if you are only changing icons, you don't need to decompile just swap the images by throwing the img in the .apk with ex(7zip) you only need to decompile with xml files and such and if you need a .9 img use the dot9 patcher in sdk then use this" https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74861217/draw9compiler.zip " to compile it before throwing it in the .apk. to use the compiler throw the .9 patched img into example1 then run the prog at main folder then look in done for compiled img

Yep already doing this mate, it's way easier than decompiling and recompiling.

Almost there...
I'm pretty much there with what I want to do now, status bar sorted (don't know about the clock color yet) also went ahead and did the nav bar icons or prism icon as they call it, and change the home nav bar background to transparent to declutter it a bit.
I'll upload my systemui and prism files once I'm finished so anyone can have a go.
When the Viper team decide to throw a sense 5 rom out the tweaks are going to make everything soooooo much simpler! :good:
