[Q] How to edit sense button colors?

I'm developing a ROM and am having some difficulties in editing some of the buttons, when I edit the OK / Cancel buttons I get it defected in the rom.
I am guessing that it could be because their indexed button, but I converted to RGB then back to indexed again, any suggestion?

They r .9 files. Are u running draw9patch and then recompiling them. If not they will look very blurry.

U save them yes but then have to compile them. Google search xultimate-d9pc xda and go to site and get appropriate file. Then put into correct folders and click on the .exe file. Look in the done folder to find ur correct .9 files. U know how to use draw9patch correct? If not then search xda for my everything Android in evo development section. Dl files. It has the ultimate d9pc and instructions on how to use it plus how to use draw9patch. It just has a bunch of other stuff in there also.

Think your missing the signature of the apk, best to copy the classes.dex, reaources.arsc and the res folder over from the compiled apk to the original SystemUI.apk that you have

Do it again but before starting you need to install framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk Plz write your future issues to the kitchen thread so that others will benefit from the answers.

I'm here. Now I'm guessing you want to change default cm theme to your preference on boot. You will have to theme framework. Give me the theme you want and the rom. I will change the system theme.

AHA !
Please Follow ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/o1f9abd4a47c94t/CM-Z1.apk )
Thnaks

IS THAT RELATED ?
You can start by just copying and extracting the framework-res.apk in the system/framework folder of any theme. I recommend using a stock deodexed theme template as this will give you a good foundation to build from. After you extract the framework-res.apk look in the res/drawable-mdpi folder. That is where most of the icons will be that are used for theming. You can pull any of the .png's and edit them this way. DO NOT mess with any of the icons labeled .9.png when editing the framework-res.apk this way (see info on .9's below). And don't (generally) don't change the size of the png's you edit.
When getting started the best way I found to figure out which images are used where was to flash the same theme as the one I am editing to my phone so I can look at the phone and try to figure out where the icon (image) is being used. If I still can't find it then I will take my best guess and color the image something bright like red or another color thats not used in the theme I'm making. Then I put the color edited icon in my theme and flash it (see below) then go through my phone and find whats red.
After you edit all the .png's you want and are ready to put your theme back together:
Open a copy of the original theme that you used as a base and open the system/framework/framework-res.apk in 7zip. DO NOT extract it. Just open it. Then go to res/drawable-mdpi (or whatever folder you edited the icons in) and place your edited icons back into this folder. After you finish, close 7zip, rename your new theme so you don't confuse it with the theme template you are using and flash away.
I'm not going to go into great detail about how to do the things below because I simply don't have the time. I have given you enough information that you should be able to google and look for guides on youtube that will get you through the process below.
When editing .9.png's (commonly refered to as .9's) you need to pick up some software. First you'll need to download and install the jdk and jre. Google them. They are on Java's web site. Once you get those installed you'll need to get apk tool or apk manager, I prefer apk tool myself, and decompile the framework-res.apk to be edited.
If you edit the .9's but stay away from that one pixel wide border you won't have to patch your .9's. This is what I do. When I open a .9 to edit the first thing I do is draw a selection box around the image making sure to stay clear of the one pixel wide border. This way all my changes stay inside the selection box. If you ever do decide you need to patch your .9's there is a program called draw9patch that will do this for you.
Happy Theming!!

lost statusbar after modifying

Hi all, first i'm sorry for my poor english and thanks to anyone can help me After long time of searching how to modify an apk, i decided to modify systemui.apk to change notification pulldown background. i was very happy when i decompile, modified and re-compile in success. And i put modified apk to phone and waiting for good result.But i lost my statusbar and home button was in wrong position ( plz look at attached image ) So i tried 2 way to sign modifid apk : use winrar add META IFF folder straight to new apk and in other way i put back resource.arc file to the new apk after extracted from it. Hmm the resut was not like i hope. So any one here can tell me which step i was wrong or something like it and how to fix to get better result
Again thank in advance to everyone :good:

It's probably the image that's wrong.

You try to flash the rom or use the Backup and then set the lock screen by the member Xda post

[Q] Edit system/framework/services.jar

Can anyone fill me in on details of how to edit java executable files? I would like to remove the GPS icon from the notification bar in the ROM I am using and the best I could come up with is this: The file I need to change is in system/framework/services.jar
Better yet, does anyone have a flashable zip with an edited services file that has no GPS icon? I would like one that works with Sense 3.0 ROMs.

If you use gimp or photoshop its pretty easy just make the GPS.png file or what ever its named in the framework-res.apk and make it transparent.
Then zip the app and sign it with a META-INF signer.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

Or you could replace the picture itself with an empty picture so that when GPS is on and so are other radios, there won't be a random empty space there. Also, to explain how to edit the "java executable", let me explain how java works
So the reason that java is great is that its cross platform. But how? So when a .jar file is created, that's actually not 100% compiled itself, its more like 60/70% of the way there. And that's where the JRE comes in. When you open a .jar file, the code is compiled the rest of the way into bytecode that the specific OS its running on can interpret.
So there is really no such thing as a "java executable". The "jar" format is basically just a ZIP file with partially compiled code, so what you need to do is extract all the files from it (use 7Zip or something) and then get a .class decompiler (I recommend JD-GUI, its free and one of the best out there. It also has an option to decompile all the files into .java files and packages it into a .zip) and then just look at the source code. The problem is to find where exactly the GPS icon is set up, because when you decompile it, its going to be a huge mass of folders and folders and folders of files

Thank you very much for your reply. The information I originally found pointed me in the wrong direction. I found the images I want to edit in the data\sysapp\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi. There are five .png files all starting with names like sym_gpsone_0_sprint.png. I've included some below.
All of the other modifications I have made to the ROM I am running involved using m10 and the fusion.apk or the Idlescreen_Base.apk. I know how to make those changes work on my phone. If I alter the .png images in the SystemUI.apk, I know how to zip it again, but I could use some instructions on how to sign it with a META-INF signer.
