[Request] Change Gummynex softkey background color

I'm currently on Gummy 1.2.2 for the toro and I've been going crazy trying to modify the background color of the softkeys. Not the glow effect, not the keys themeselves, but the actual bar they rest on. I'd like to make it white but if someone could just help me figure out how to change it to begin with it'd be greatly appreciated. I've decompiled the systemui apk and tried editing several xml's but got nowhere with it. It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Any help would be awesome. I've searched through the forums and had no luck thus far.

1.2.2
where can i get the 1.2.2?can't find it

Its all in layout folder the 3 nav xmls are what your going to want to edit and it'd be the first line of each XML when you open it and if you wanna change the nav bg with images I can post the XML so you can see yourself to see what you would need to change

How exactly would I go about this? I tried editing the hex values on all three of them but that was a no go. I didn't know I could replace them with images. Thanks again.

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

I'm using an apk manager developed for Mac. I've used it to decompile, theme, and build multiple apk's from my rom. It works pretty awesome. Lol. I use that to decompile and then I use xml edit to change the xmls. I don't have a PC to run the regular apk tool on so I'm unsure if that's where my issue is.

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.

Is it recompiling correctly? And if you sign it don't just rename FROM UNSIGNEDSYSTEMUI TO SYSTEMUI and what apktooljars are you using also?

Do you need to be on a custom ROM to be able to do this? Or will stock root work? Also did you replace your navbar background with an image or just changed the color? I am trying to do this but systemui crashes. Any help would be appreciated.

Its an XML edit im not sure which one but you would have to decompile the Settings.apk make the edit in the Colors.xml then recompile.

Hi there everyone I have been learning about theme but having some trouble getting study time with all my kids yelling and screaming all day. So far i know about .9 and samlli apk manager decompile and recompile . as well as xml files.
My issue wright now is that I don't know exactly what files to edit to get the changes I want. If there's any tut on what file changes change what, that would be aswom, like for example I want to change the over-scroll color but I have changed the images I thought would change that and nothing.. But if not can anybody tell me what I have to edit to, change the color on the status bar, and the color of the letters on the status bar like the clock. and system letters.
Thank you before hand. for taking the time to answer I know life is busy.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Yeah I remember. I already have the app modded as I use it myself.
But anything in the status bar is found in the SystemUI.apk
It is going to be an XML as well.

A no brainer way is to use the app "rom toolkit".. if u go to the playstore its actually on sale right now and its well worth the regular price let alone the sale price, i paid the full amount and couldn't be more stoked.. Its about 10 apps in one and a must have for any noob root user like myself (any user for that matter).. one of the many features is theme changer where u can change the theme, font, status bar, boot loader ect.....

Its going I just tried to recompile framework. Apk with apk manager but I get an error. And it compiles with nothing on it like 0 bits.so I'll figure it out... The only reason to use a pk manager is to b able to edit XML in a readable language right? Cause last time I didn't use apk manager and it was OK but I couldn't edit any XML cause hex just not that good with it.

Changing Lockscreen icons

I am looking at getting rid of the color on the lockscreen, so would like to change the icons on the stock lockscreen. I would guess I need to drop a PNG file in somewhere, just no clue where. Can someone help out or let me know an easier way? Thanks. PS I am Running Jedi XP12

The icons in the lock screen are dependent on the apps you have set up. So, for instance, if you want to change the messaging icon you will need to change the icon in the SecMms.apk. Using 7zip, you can navigate to the icon. They are usually found in the mipmap folder and banned something like ic_launcher_mms.
Hope that helps
As for the color on the lock screen, not sure what you mean there.

LOL, was on it, And will be back as soon as the home button issue is resolved. It was happening to me more than just from the app draw. Small issue that would not bother a lot of people, but I constantly use it.

is there a way to change the colors from each category?

on the g3 the categories are colored (text, email, settings ect) i was wondering if theres a way to change the colors.
any one know?

You would need to pull the stock messaging.APK to your pc via ADB and then modify the RES/XML values yourself, then repack as an APK....

I am still trying.
I thought i had it down, but when i pushed the apk back to my phone as a system app, it just FCs.
Im still working on it and will create a thread when its done - hopefully i will get all LG apps with neutral Grey (hangouts color) opposed to puke yellow, etc.
Ill keep you posted

Yellow
Thanks a lot for trying. I hope you get it B4rnzEE! I will be the first to change the yellow!

I'm really looking forward to this! Can't wait!
