Replacing notification dropdown image with custom wallpaper. (Jedi X12) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello, am trying to customize the notification dropdown on my Jedi X12 ROM, using the NinjaMorph app, to replace the image within the
"framework-res.apk" to a custom image. I'm having an issue identifying which file it is within the apk. Does anyone know the file name for the graphic? Or perhaps an easier way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Any help is greatly appreciated

It may be a color code as opposed to an image... you will likely need to look through the relevant statusbar_expanded layout xml (or maybe even in drawables.xml).

Help skinning dialer

I been lookin into skinnin the dialer in my ROM. I'm wanting to go black but am unable to find all the necessary files I need to edit.
Anyone know all the files needing to be edited?
All the images for the dialer are in Contacts.apk. Careful though, most are the tricky .9.png types. Finally for anything fancy like transparent background for the dialer as a whole, you'll need to decompile and modify xml, I believe.
FYI- Images and functions for in-call screens are in Phone.apk.

i dont have a contacts.apk... just a htccontact which dont contain any dialer images or I'm completely missing something
Sorry I was describing for a vanilla setup. No idea what apk serves up the dialer in Sense.

What rom are you using? I have a custom HtcDialer.apk that I modded to have white text and I have a metamorph to change the images in the resources as well. I'd be happy to share - the dialer is from Virtuous 3.1.
The only thing I haven't figure out is how to change the text when you're in a call. For some reason, when in a call, the dialer text turns back to black. I'm still trying to figure it out. If anyone happens to know what has to be changed to make the text white in a call, PM me!

That thread is very helpful. I haven't ventured into changing the font yet, I just wanted to change the numbers to white and add a new button background which wasn't too bad.

If you were able to get it to work I'd like a black one with white numbers if you could post it.I'm using sky raider by the way.
Attached are the 2 files you requested. They are from the 3.26.605.1 leak, incase specifics are needed. Also, I will be sure to give you the credit when they make it into one of my ROM updates.
Thanks again OSully... most appreciated!!

Need help with Lockscreen

Can someone tell me where to find the settings for the date on the lockscreen? I am not sure what I have done but it isn't showing all the way (see screenshot). Any help is greatly appreciated.

You haven't done anything, Samsuck left a long-standing bug in place. Just ignore it.

So which font makes the date show correctly?
Not a TW lockscreen user so you'll have to try some. Or maybe someone else can tell us what they have.

So far these have worked. And as an FYI the reboot works on the metamorph I downloaded from the market. But lets look at a different option. Does anyone know if you can change the font size of the lock screen date font by itself? What I mean is, can we reduce the font size of the lock screen date without changing any other font settings? I ask because so far I am not happy with the fonts I have installed. I prefer the stock font. So if that were possible it would be a better solution for me. If anyone knows if this is possible and can share the location of the xml file to change that would be great.

Russel_Square is the largest and you can see most of the date. Anything else seems too small.

+1 to that. Font in bar just needs to be smaller. But keep font size the same everwhere else.
OK I want to thank decalex for this awesome font. He posted a flashable zip of this font. I have added it to the myfonts.zip. It is called Tin_Birdhouse. But I would still prefer the stock font if it is possible to shrink.
I use a font called sony something.. I don't even remember now.. I renamed it so long ago and have been using it in all my custom roms and in my new ec05 plus, that I have forgotten the actual name. But it looks great and works fine...

Use some kind of apk manager or 7zip to edit the file. Go to mipmap-hdpi and replace/change the icon in their. There can sometimes be multiple icons in that folder. Also, some apps have the icon in drwable-hdpi called icon.PNG or ic_launcher_(name of app)

theme editing

Can someone help me or point me in the right direction for editing a theme? I want the Cobalt theme to have transparent status bar, transparent system backgrounds(dialer, settings...etc) just like the HoloGlass Beta but with all the nice stuff from Cobalt(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt) (HoloGlass https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mix3d.theme.hologlass.beta)
I'm still trying to figure this out, I've decompiled both themes, copied like 50 images from cobalt(signal, wifi...etc) to hologlass overwriting the originals, edited preview and changed the default wallpaper then recompiled, signed it, installed but the only thing that I can tell is different is the default wallpaper, everything else is the same, the preview didn't even work, just shows a red X....I don't understand.
If it's a system app you don't want to sign it. You need to preserve the original signatures if I remember correctly. Utilities like apk multi tool can do this for you when it's time to recompile. Could that be the problem?

I didn't know a theme was a system app?
Well I was wrong, It mostly worked, most things changed except WiFi and signal bars(Which was one of the main features I wanted from cobalt) Maybe it would be easier just to take the transparent stuff from holo glass and put it into cobalt? Idk but I still need help with this...

It depends on what you're theming. I'm just guessing but the status bar is probably in the SystemUI.apk or SecLauncher2.apk. so to theme it would require modding the correct system app.

Can I change the color of phone icons?

Is it possible to change the color of the icons in the contact list? The green is killing my b/w theme & I would like to change them to white.
Any input would be appreciated.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it is possible
Probably inside framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, or SecPhone.apk

I looked in SecContacts.apk.
Found, inside the drawable-sw359dpi-xhdpi folder, the icon that appears to match the one in the screenshot.
"ic_call.png"
There's a few others with the exact same icon in that folder and I have no idea which one Samsung's call log/contacts pulls from so I'd just change them all. (I hate how many redundant images exist in the Touchwiz Framework.)

OH WHOOPS. Yeah you're right, the images SHOULD be in SecContacts. Didn't notice she was in the contacts tab, which opens the contacts app. You can tell that I use my phone as a phone very often lol
