Those things are not as simple as adding a few lines in Settings.
They have to be ported, I.e. Some files have to be modified too.

You need to change it in the contacts app. As far as location, Im not sure. Try values/colors and see if it is defined in there, otherwise it is probably somewhere in /layout or /value/styles
I am pretty sure it's an xml edit... Decompile and recompile will be required more than likely.

You need to play with the xml's. check /colors, your main colors are right there, if that doesnt work check /values/colors, there is a lot more there. If that doesnt work check /styles
XML edit. If its not in res/colors, then try res/values/colors or res/values/styles.

[GUIDE]Adding extra activity at Settings.apk

Hello there, I am here again with some guide.
This will add extra option at your settings.apk.
First and foremost, I adapted the code from COD DJ Tabbed Settings.
Download:
Code:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1051uyxpbtpqwm9/Extra%20Option.zip
Screenies:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. Pull Settings.apk
2. Decompile it.
3. Download the file and extract.
4. Now, go to AndroidManifest, and find this line,
Code:
<application android:label="@string/settings_label" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_settings" android:taskAffinity="">
<uses-library android:name="touchwiz" />
below it, add this
Code:
<activity android:name="ExtraSettings" />
5. We're almost done, recompile the Settings.apk
6. Decompile it again
7. Now go to /res/values/public.xml and find this code,
Code:
<public type="xml" name="extra_settings"
Copy the public id.
8. Go to smali/com/android/settings/ExtraSettings.smali and replace
Code:
0x7f04003b
with the public ID of extra_settings
9. Save, and recompile again, sign apk.

Follows my contribution to safestrap menu. Same concept with background variations.
Original size here.
To change safestrap menu:
> Root access in "File Manager" (look for in settings);
> Choice the image and rename it to "background-def.png";
> Go to: "system\bootstrap\images" and overwrite the image;
> Just reboot and see! :highfive:

Excelent!
Thought I'd throw something into the mix. I can't really take much credit for this, it's basically the design @Saturnal posted, with the updated Moto logo and the all important "+" for those of us with a Defy Plus. Excuse the drunken photoshopping, might actually contribute something worthwhile at a later date.

Damn nice. And damn, that it makes me want to have it as a boot logo
So.. Something is amiss.. Saved every image from @Saturnal and they seem to be in .jpeg not .PNG.. Tried converting to png on my PC but then the image shown no bigger than 5x3mm in boot. What am i doing wrong? Can i use it as background-def.jpeg?
Edit: solved the issue by using easy image reziser for android.
