After alot of work and help from many people I have completed it. This is a MMS apk for Deodexed Gingerbread ROM's such as Calkulins Stock Deodexed or Calks GB ROM.
Download attached apk
Move apk to system/app
Set Permissions to RW/R/R
Reboot.
Note: You may want to back up the original mms.apk. You can always get it from the Stock ROM zip if you need to.
Many many thanks to all that helped me. I learned alot from this little adventure.
Try the png's first. I'm not sty the computer right now so I can't remember the name, but it says simmering about chat bg.9. If nobody has helped you by the time I get home, I can tell you more. Hit up 12many,, he could probably tell you exactly where to look.

think dazed is right, there are often background png's (and sometimes not in the drawable-hdpi folder). most the time "bg" will be in the name so look for that first. otherwise the xml would be in colors.xml or styles.xml in the res/values directory

That is actually a smali edit.
Mms.apk\com\android\mms\ui\ComposeMessageFragment.smali
Line 16051 const v1, 0xd4d2d0
change that to what you want you color to be. that ones hex is 2b2d30. Remember in smali the numbers are not in hex.

Never worked with smali before. So gonna give this a shot. The code you gave me is that the code for white.
OK. So I decompiled and that file isn't there. I have a butt load of compose message files but not one that has fragment in it. Also just to make sure this is 2.3.6! Mms.apk
I attached a pick to kinda make sure we're on the same page.
check these bg images maybe?... msg_bg_dsrk etc

I did. I went through all the pngs in the drawable-hdpi folder. I swapped all those and any others that related to it. Still grey background. I changed out an XML and got the white background I wanted but it broke mms for some reason. Couldn't send or receive.

Would it be in the draw ables folder?
Also. I was able to get it to turn white by swapping the file Res/values/drawables.XML. but that broke mms. Just for information to help.

I believe it was under values/colors.xml. The list of "TWcolor_001, TWcolor_002", etc.
EDIT: Find the grey color you're looking for in an image editor like Gimp or photoshop and search the colors folder for that hex code, I'm sure it'll pop up.
also check the drawable folder for something like "listitem_backgound.xml" or "conversationitem_background" might do it....

i decompiled the TW framework. the color code for the background is ff2b2d30. I searched the colors xml and couldnt find that code. so i looked for anything close to it. still no dice. thinking i may have to go another route on this and do a different style. you wouldnt think changing the background color would be such a ***** to do but then again it is me doing it and my luck never seems to be the greatest. haha

All the xml's look right so I dont think it is that. But, I havent worked too much with theme apk's so If I sound like a reject, Im sorry.
I did see that com_android_contacts_custom_background_dialer is solid black. maybe that is why the bg's are not the themed one you want.
For the minimize/maximize i cant really help other than say find that image and do a dirty hack. lol.
Wish i could be more help.

Public xml is in values folder, also you can go to your drawables folder and look for any thing referencing to your anim and it will show you if the file is right. . And a dirty hack sounds like shotty work to me. Idk I may be wrong but I guess its up to you to use or not.

It doesn't have the color in the name. They are just images so you'll have to use the image editing software of choice to change the color. If u open the drawable-hdpi folder on your PC you'll be able to see all the images inside. What I do is use 7zip to decompile/extract the apk. Then I make my changes. Then I highlight the full apk that hasn't been extracted, right click it, go up to 7zip on the menu that pops up and when u click on 7zip another folder will pop up. Choose “open archive“, I believe that's what its called. Then a folder will open up and you'll be able to see everything inside of the apk just like if u were looking at it when it was extracted. Double click on the Res folder, then highlight the drawable-hdpi and click delete. Now go get the drawable-hdpi folder that has the changes u made and drag it inside of the window that u just deleted from. Now just click the x to close that window and the apk will still be intact but it will have all the changes u made. Drop it in a flashable zip, boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and flash. If your not sure about the flashable zip let me know and I'll see if I can put it together from my phone for u. Hopefully that made a little bit of sense to u. If not let me know and I'll try and do a better job explaining it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
So I would start by making a copy of the drawable-hdpi in /res / folder in framework-res apk and opening it up in 7Zip on my PC. Finding the png's pertaining to the clock zzz_unlock_clock_3_.png for example, export into photoshop change color, then replace original png's with new colored ones. Do I make sence.
The good thing about the lockscreen clock images is, you don't have to decompile them to edit them. Also, (if youre feeling savvy) you can decompile framework-res.apk, then go to framework-res.apk/res/layout and edit the color codes in "zzz_keyguard_screen_clock_gb.xml" and "zzz_keyguard_screen_glasslockinfo.xml" to make the lockscreen text match the clock. You can use Google to find color codes.

Ok, cool. You're good to go on modding lockscreen clock images. Didn't know if you were on an ICS ROM, or not.
This is making my brain hurt. 7Zip works great with Adobe CS5,it imports into Adobe Bridge and it displays all the images associated with the files, makes for quick editing in Photoshop. Having trouble finding clock fonts, that display date on lock screen. Clock part was easy, numbers, colens.

Ok so I found this launcher I really like based off ics called Holo launcher and since I'm running MIUI I'd like to change the ics colors to MIUI colors.. The only colors I really need to change are in the app drawer
So here are my questions
1. Do I have to decompile to do this?
2. If I do is there a thread that can teach me how to do so?
3. Is there anything I have to worry about? I heard sometimes recompiling doesn't go right but I figure since is cosmetic changes I think it should be fine..

Some apk files require you to resign after you decompile and rebuilt it. Some bits of color can be a simple img edit to xml edits.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Extract the apk with 7zip on your pc and look in the res/drawable-hdpi folder to see if your edits are an actual .png file. If that's the case make your edits in PhotoShop or gimp, save file and then drop the edited png back into the original apk in the same folder it belongs...
If its text color it is most likely an xml and you will need to decompile.

Completely agree. The only good way to do it is to decompile and then recompile. It is not that hard.

Yeah but at the same time 7zipping images into an apk is not the correct answer... No offense its just when you do that you unalign the .apk which causes the .apk suck up memory and leave a huge memory footprint on the phone which can cause adverse battery problems...
Oh I see, thanks for the heads up. No offense taken.. I was busy working and didn't mean to sound that way.
OP (EVOl4g) check out Tommy Tomatoes Android utility if you happen to have a mac or Linux pc
If you decompile first even pesky .9.pngs are a breeze. Where as if you try to edit one thats not decompiled you will have to repatch it first and without decompiling you may have no idea where to place ur lil black dotz.
Using 7zip is a nice way to cut your teeth on android theming but as others have stated your not going to get the best results nor the ease you get from decompiling.
alright so i extracted apex launcher and i wanna change the app drawer background to white, i've already changed all the images with ICS blue to MIUI orange...

What are you using to decompile ? and there you go, compare my xmls with yours to do the edits i threw in the tracking xml also and thats how you go about having a custom pulldown bg,
1 pulldown back should be about 480x733 gives you a perfect image in portrait and landscape, and you take your image and name it pulldown_bg.png and save in gimp for example
2 navbar backgrounds = navbar01 =400x50, navbar02=50x400 save as png format
3. all three of those images put them in the drawable-xhdpi in sytemui
4. easy to do you should be able to do it on your own let me know if you have any troubles

Seems simple enough. I just edited a ton of apps throughout my rom and blacked everything out. Very minimal color with an emphasis on black and white and I think the white nav and Status bars will help keep the contrast along the theme flowing. I can't wait to get home and try it out. Thanks again for the help.
Edit... well it was a no go for me. Cannot figure this out. Here's the xml's that I'm starting with.

really hate to bump a thread , but im guessing out of all the talented people here someone must know how to get this done or point me in right direction ?
U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

a black version would be epic!!
Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.
I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.
I will try
thanks for replys and taking time to look into , very much appreciated
