Hey im trying to theme the mms apk and i am having trouble finding the background image to change it from white to black. Can anyone help me out?
Which background are you looking for? Main screen is in conversation_list_screen.xml, each thread on that screen has it's own background at conversation_list_item.xml, and each text message thread has the backgrounds at message_list_item_send.xml and message_list_item_recv.xml. To change background to black, use
Code:
android:background="#000000"

Okay, I've just ported over a few themes to the ultimate droid 2.1.0 and in the transition, my menus font is white on a white backgroud. I cannot see the font unless I use the trackball and highlight it. Would anybody be willing to show me what files to change that or even better help me by changing them for me? I am not a themer by any means and am just looking for a little help thanks.

Nobody knows how to do this? I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Thanks
It's in the colors.xml I think .
It may be in values folder.
Once you decompile the
framework.apk
Not at a computer or I could give you a better idea.

Cheers, exactly what I was looking for while themeing my SGS
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?
Sub text in menus is aqua

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?

When i mod framework-res.apk changing color of some png files results in shape deformation.Its espesialy true when changing color of button png's and homescreen folder png's(top folder part comes out too large and out of shape).
I understand that this is due to some png files containing meta-data.My question is there anway to change the color of these png's without loosing their original shape?
sounds like to me your editing .9.pngs with out running the .9.png threw draw9patch

Does ANYONE know what XML file I would have to edit in the Facebook for android apk to make the text color of the app widget white?
-Meaning if you have the FB widget on your homescreen, usually the background is white and the text is black..ish. My background is now black and I want the text to be white instead of black...ish.
I can read the text, but it's quite annoying. And no, I do not want to go back to a white background if that was your solution = )
Thanks!

There are many xmls to look for. Check the values folder under color or drawable. Or it could be in layout under appwidget

Yep, well I looked in there, but I wasn't sure it was the right spot to change the color since I kept seeing #ff000000 instead of #000000 which after extensive googling, I found out the ff is the transparency and the rest is hex. Ok so that makes sense now.
So for ANYONE who may want to know this... first decompile the apk so you can edit the xml color in values\drawable.xml and then compile apk AND THEN edit your res\hdpi files. Otherwise it doesnt work. This was the case for me anyway. I could be 101% incorrect, but this is the way it worked for me

Yeah that is correct. The ff is transparency and also correct that u can decompile apk do ur XML/smali edits then recompile and do ur PNG edits.

Trying to theme my status bar dropdown, and it's driving me insane.
I replaced the quicksettings and clear notifications icons, but when pressing them they get a green overlay.
Right now I'm trying to find out where this is controlled. Must be one of the .xmls or in smali, but so far I had no luck finding anything.
Anyone else know where to look?

I'm facing the same dillema. I bet it's in smali somewhere... if we're lucky it calls the RGB value from an XML we can change somewhere.

I checked most of the xmls in systemui and had no luck finding anything. If it calls an xml, then it most likely sits in com.htc.resources.apk which would suck :/

It's skinned blue in our Rom so its not in resources. I'm pretty sure it's in framework-res.apk values/colors.xml. holo_green_light & holo_green_dark
But to be sure I'll ask our lead dev sergio tomorrow.

since it will be changed if one applies a HTC Sense theme, and the Matte theme for instance has a blue on pressed color i did a quick apktool d Matte.apk
i found no graphics file inside but i found this inside /res/values/colors.xml
Code:
<color name="overlay_color">#ff0087b4</color>

Yeah it doesn't do what we want it to do though
I found it's easier to just put all your changes in a skin that's already got blue highlights, such as aluminum or matte. Now if I could only get rid of the black clock in the Matte theme I'd be golden!

Nice catch, too bad that the default skin is com.htc.resources.apk, which can't really be edited atm until apktool is updated.
Edit: with your hint I think it's "<color name="multiply_color">#ff00beff</color>" under values/colors.xml. for stock HTC theme, I think it's in SystemUI.apk, trying it out now.
Edit2: yup, that's the value that colors the icon on press . Editing SystemUI.apk is enough. Bear in mind that the color gets overlaid as a multiply layer (think Photoshop)
Yeah that makes sense with the multiply overlay
It was late yesterday when i posted my findings :-D
