Change lockscreen slider color??

i saw somewhere once on an Epic that the stock Samsung lock screen slider was a red circle and red arrow up with the lock in the middle. I can't seem to find the thread in order to do more research or get what i am looking for.
so does anyone know how i can get my slider icon to be red instead of the greyish black it is now?

Flash a theme, or if you only want the lockscreen then delete all the images except the lock.

Are you using the standard or the aosp lockscreen?

standard samsung on Epic

The images you are looking for are found in the framework-res.apk file.
Specifically i think you might be looking for /res/drawable-hdpi/
zz_unlock_arrow.png
zz_unlock_arrow_msg.png
maybe even
zz_unlock_lockbg.png
zz_unlock_lockbg_press.png

using Root Explorer i can get to /res/....but there is not a folder for drawable-hdpi
anymore thoughts on places to check?

Nope, that's where it is for moi. Weird. Try unzipping the whole folder then look on /sdcard/extracted/ and see if it shows up there.
If not maybe post your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk here and i can take a look.
edit: Maybe mine's different since technically we don't have the stock TW Launcher. We have a slightly modified one on Bonsai.

Apk's are just archives. You can use your favorite archiving application to modify the APK ( i like WinRAR ). All I normally have to do is open the APK with WinRAR and take the modified PNG's (not .9.pngs - these have to be run through eclipse first) and drop em in to the folder you want. Boosh! Done.
I'm seeing the files right where we said they'd be. you still don't have 'em? /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Inside framework-red.apk is a folder called res. Inside that is drawable-hdpi, all the way at the bottom of that.

Its in framework res.apk too look for status bar background. There are two one is a bigger png which is for when you pull it down and that's a dummy file because on the epic its inside twframework-res but the other is a small box and a .9.png so if you don't know how to edit them borrow one from a working theme.

Gallery from CM

Hello, wanna share this version of Gallery3D which is not the lousy Samsung stock one. Scroll is smooth in this apk, as well as transition in opening folder.
Download the apk, move it from sdcard to system/app to replace original gallery.apk using root explorer or any root filemanager, then set permissions to read write, read, read.
Try it, it's awesome.

where is it?
working on froyo?

FC on stock froyo..
gonna restore my backup apk..
wew..any help?

Not just look. I have a lot of folders and using the stock one is so ****ty because stock gallery always jumps in scrolling. CM made theirs a hell lot faster and it is not even an opinion this is better

its for deodexed roms only...,not to worry,Ive attached update.zip for stock odex ones. Flash it in recovery..[as a bonus i changed the icon to the default one,i think its better]...+1 for me and the thread starter...

ahh...for deodexed only thats why FC on my froyo..
wew..

what if not? what should i do?
can u create a apk file only that can be put at system/app?
so that for easy restoring backup stock apk when i got in trouble..
hehe..btw thanks..

works fine for me...try it out...As always make a back up

i had a backup of my gallery.apk
but ur attached was .zip..
if i messed..dont know what to do..cause my backup was in apk..

keep a backup of the odex too...if you mess up,just replace the apk and odex using root explorer..i created zip so that you don't need to do that permission crap

ahhh...ok gonna try it now..
BTW..im have update.zip in my root of sd card..
it was to be replace the update zip if i try to copy it to my sd card..how was that?..
the one(update.zip) on my sd card was done updating it..can i now delete that files and put the one(update.zip) of yours..?

am confused..just place the update zip in the root of your sdcard and flash it

unfortunately doesnt work..
i had tried it..
hoping someone could do it as apk and odex file to be put at the system/app..
coz in update.zip in recovery doesnt work..
now no gallery app or icon was on my drawer..its gone.
gonna put my back now..

just extract it from the zip..its inside the app folder

[REQ] Black statusbar for stock odexed ROM's

Hi guys,
Will any of the great themers here be kind enough to create a mod for the stock odexed ROMs that makes the status bar black?
There are mods available but almost all of them are for deodexed ROMs. A lot of people prefer to just have the stock odexed ROM (rooted or otherwise) and I am sure it will make their experience much better.
If it just requires a change of png's, I will be glad to do it myself if given correct directions. I am also slightly educated in terms of vrt theming. Unfortunately, as I am not from a techie background, stuff like XML editing stuff goes over my head..
Look forward to help and assistance. My current set up is LSN odexed stock+rooted..

Hi
1. decompile SystemUI.apk (dont forget frameworks)
2. edit file drawables.xml in path res\values\
for black color:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000</item>
3. compile modifed apk
4. with 7zip take the 'resources.arcs' file of the "new" apk and copy them into original SystemUI.apk
5. place the SystemUI.apk in the path /system/app - set same premissions for new apk

Where do I put the modified system ui? Preload or system?

If you're running a JB 4.1.2 rom, it goes in preload\symlink\system\app

Unfortunately, when I tried to flash the modded systemui.. my status bar simply vanished.
Has it got to do something with the systemui in the system app folder still being odexed?

1. rename original SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak
2. copy new SystemUI.apk to folder system/app
3. set permissions
4. rebot

[Q] Replace icons?

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to replace the system icons (phone, contacts, Play Store) in Deviant Wicked v10 with the system icons from Deviant Domination v1 and if it is possible, how would it be done.
Thanks in Advance.

Its very possible.. You can do it by extracting the icon.png from the res folder within the apks you want the icon from, and then use a launcher like nova to replace the icons in the drawer or desktop using the PNG you extracted.. That is the easy way.
If you wanna use the touchwiz launcher, you have to extract the icon.png from the apk you want the icon from, decompile the apk you want to use, replace the icon.png to the one you want (the one you extracted), compile the apk, and then push it to system/app.. I think there's special things you gotta do to get the phone, contacts and play store to compile and launch correctly though, I never messed with them much

Unzipped i don't know how many apk's but cannot find the icons anywhere.

Look in the res/drawable-xhdpi folder.. Should be one of those pngs

Thank you for your help. I Found the play store icon. it's in the Phonesky.apk. extracted it from Domination, replaced it in Wicked but when I tried to copy the apk back to the phone, it gives an error and wont allow the copy.

Did you decompile, replace icons and recompile it?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

I used WinRAR to unzip it, replaced the icon, zipped back then renamed it.

Try this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Black_Dialer.zip
There are 3 apk's in this zip, copy Secphone.apk and SecContacts_OSup.apk
into /system/priv-app.
Be sure to make a backup or rename those two files in /system/priv-app first.
The 3rd APK is the SecMMS.apk which you can use if you want black messaging.
Be sure to make a nandroid backup before doing anything.
After your done don't forget to fix permissions of the new apk's.
Good luck!
