I am in the process of making a simple Holo Blue Stock Theme, but I have hit a brick wall:silly:
The first screenshot below shows what i have achieved so far.
The second screenshot helps to explain the brick wall so to speak
I am trying to find the location of the 2 png files numbered in the second screenshot
I have searched till i have square eyes, but i just cannot find the 2 png's
I have found the "clear" button in systemui/res/drawable-hdpi
If anybody can tell me the name and location of the "ongoing" and "notification" background png's it would greatly appreciated.
I am on Alliance v7.02 Stock Theme (XWLSD)
Look in systemui layout
It's not a png its a hex color code
I'm not at my pc atm so i can't be exactly clear

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.
Hi,
I was looking thru the framework apk trying to find the notification pull down thing becouse i want to edit it from grey to the standard transparant black. Can this be done via just changing the png file or is there other stuff i need to do ? ive tryed search button but dident find anything so any help apprecited thank you
**Big thanks to daman on thread who has supplied systemui.apk with transparent background
It is probably handled by an XML file or rendered from a small image file

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

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

These icons are graphics, you can't change their color in XML. Decompile SystemUI.apk and look at /res folder.

Hi can any one tell me what images to edit to change the images or color on the pic numbered 1,2,3 attached thanks. Im running stock 4.0.4 xwlpt
I'm not sure if XWLPT 4.0.4 uses the same layout as XWLPG 4.0.3 but if it does:
1. SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\tw_quicksetting_divider.png
2. SystemUI.apk\res\values\drawables.xml
3. SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\tw_btn_default_small_normal.9.png
For 2, the values are:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color_pressed">
Thanks very much i will check it out.

On XWLPG it's a combination.
The layout is in SystemUI.apk\res\tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and tw_btn_default_small is the background image for the clear button.

Ok so i have tryed to decompile the systemui.apk with no look. All i would like to do is remove the clear button images so the the clear button when inactive the text is grey as default but the button image is gone and when the clear button is active the clear text white as default but no button image.
I have attached a unmodified systemUI.apk if you could try to do it for me that would be great thanks.

I don't mind guiding you but I'm not doing it for you!
You'll need to learn how to decompile SystemUI.apk (I use Wanam's Apk Manager ICS)
The clear button is laid out in SystemUI.apk\res\layout\tw_status_bar_expanded.xml with a single text colour hard-coded in. The background images are set in SystemUI.apk\res\drawable\tw_btn_default_small.xml
I'd say you'd need to remove the hard coded colour from tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and add the text colour for the different states of the button to tw_btn_default_small.xml whilst also removing the background images from the same lines of code.

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.
