[Request] Help me change some color

I was hoping someone with the know how would help me. I need to change the color of my text in this metamorph. The following picture describes what I'm trying to achieve. On my phone the clock and date is actually black and unreadable.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also I've tried to do the ColorChangeV3.jar with no success.
This theme was created by Jairomeo. He made his "Lemon" available as a metamorph but I like his "Licorice" theme better and since he's busy with other things and I don't want to bother him with requests, I made it into a metamorph. The text color is the last thing left for it.
So any help please? I'm running a stock ROM so if you need files, let me know. Someone said that each ROM is different so stock files would be needed.
Download Licorice Metamorph Here

If you are trying to change clock/date/network color on a stock ROM, then you will have to de-odex the framework .jar's. After that then it is an easy fix to change the color. You just have to manually edit the classes.dex files. There is a thread with services.jar in the title in this section with a mini-guide on how to do that.

does that also go into "deodexing" no clue as to what that is.... lol

I'm thinking I put a link to smali in there. If not, google smali and it should be the first link. There are instructions on how to de-odex on the googlecode page for smali.

ok im really not understanding any of that. if someone could please help me out? ill post up any of the files needed. extracting the files to make a metamorph was easy. its the editing that gets me.
please help?

ok so nix the "Ongoing" and "Notifications" text. i decided a black background flowed better.
So could someone please help or link a detailed how to for changing the date and time to white? ive tried colorchangev3.jar and all it says is it cannot find a certain file. well ive looked and the file IS there. i was using the original theme rom for it. i just dont understand colorchangev3.jar or deodexing.
also tried the metamorph, SkaggzColor0.9.1 for changing the text color. but that doesnt work. it just changes my text to black when i choose white.

[Solved] Changing App Drawer Button on Home Screen

I'd like to change the button circled in the photo below. Could anyone help me out? Haven't had any luck finding a thread on it.

I'm pretty sure the image is located in Launcher2.apk. I was gonna make my own from the Nexus X logo, but I got too lazy. I might try again, though.

Too what ?? it cant be that hard.. should be in the Launcher2.apk

I have no clue, i've never done it before lol. That's why i was hoping someone could tell me what i need to do

all_apps_button_pressed
all_apps_button_focused
all_apps_button_normal
open launcher2.apk with winrar and replace those three files with your new image named the same thing then re-install launcher2 via adb

here is a post with a few themes for the launcher

can you share your findings

its a metamorph of Launcher2, just pick an icon you want and put it in the drawable-hdpi folder and make sure you make 3 copies of it and rename to whats already in there.
download this zip and extract the folder to the AndroidThemes on your sdcard..

[Theme] HTC Lockscreen custom theme

I have been tinkering around with different files on my phone, and I decided to change the HTC lockscreen up a bit for the fun of it because I thought it was bland. Here is what I came up with.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
EDIT: Thanks to JsChiSurf, I figured out how to Metamorph, so I created a metamorph for this theme. Here it is
http://www.mediafire.com/?wvoiixy9o49my1p
Let me know how you like it!

Looks nice.
Your best bet is to create a MetaMorph, that can be used to apply only the graphic changes you have made to the applicable apk file. This way, you don't have to re-distribute the entire .apk, rather, just the files you've changed.

Thanks for the input. Is there any way you could link me to a tutorial?

Here is a link to a YouTube Tutorial with a nice overview of how a MM is created.
Also, easiest way to then see it done in action is to rip open an existing MM zip file and see its structure / content. If you follow the link in my signature, you can see a bunch of MM XML files that I've posted that you can use as a reference.

Alright thanks man, I'll check that tutorial out

so you want to know how to make an update script

I'm just looking for the easiest way to update a theme. I haven't checked out that MM tutorial yet. Do you think flashing as an update is easier?

Creating / flashing an update zip redistributes the entire apk file, thus undoing any other changes anyone may have previously done to the same file, which is what you are trying to avoid.

Alright, then I know that MM is the way to go. Thanks for all the help!

Ok, I looked at a couple different MM files you created JsChiSurf, and I came up with a simple one for my lockscreen. It seems to apply just fine in metamorph, but when I restart my phone, nothing changes. Am I forgetting a file ? Here is the metamorph that I used
http://www.mediafire.com/?faqi7ystsi1n55y

You have a spelling error in your folder structure. As a result, if it did apply, you may want to check your existing com.htc.resources.apk file, to see if MetaMorph ending up creating a new folder and dropping the files into that folder, based on the spelling error.
You named your sub-folder 'drawable-mpdi'. Where you have transposed the 'p' and the 'd', it should be:
drawable-mdpi

Got it working great now. Thanks alot!

[HELP] edit dll file

anyone can help please to edit a dll file?
i like my own pic into the dll
http://www7.pic-upload.de/25.11.11/mgp9mu8pe941.png
i upload the dll here.
i used the hex editor, but when i start the tool on the phone, the app is not loading :/
i hope this is not illegal and anyone can help me
greets
sid

This can't be done on WP7 yet. The DLL's are signed with a security cert. When you edit a DLL, you break the cert. There's currently no way to add a custom cert unless your running a custom ROM that has this cert added already. Also, you don't use a hex editor to edit pictures in the DLL. You need PEexplorer or Restorator. Also, that DLL has no pictures in it to edit.

Hum, interesting, didn't know they put HTTP links into DLLs like that. Well, there's still the cert issue & when hex editing you have to be careful. If the URL is too long or short compared to the original, it'll change the file size which will break the DLL. If you can upload the image somewhere where the URL has the same # of characters in it as the original, it may work.

Moved to WP7 Q&A
No Questions in the development section please.
Take it easy
O_G

here my image

Try this one, if it don't work than your SOoL. The cert has errors in it after HEX editing the DLL...

thank you
i will test it

now the tool works, but i cant see the pic at the moment, i will wait a lot, the pic is normaly coming after a few hours.

it doesn't work with this pic
i write now the developer of this tool and hope he can change this for me.

How can I edit a MIUI 10 theme?

I am on the MIUI 10 Xiaomi.eu build. I have the POCO theme on my Mi Mix 2s
However, the problem is that this theme I think is for MIUI 9 and so the clock is too dark. Also some icons do not match

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am a web designer so I should be able to do this once I get started but I cannot find documentation on how to edit MIUI themes anywhere.
What I have tried:
Manually extract the theme to see XML. Doesn't work - theme is obviously compiled somehow.
The app in the Play Store does not allow me to edit these items.
The Theme Editor link from designer.xiaomi.com shows 404 error
The Theme Editor on the MIUI forums does not open the Poco theme properly
Can anyone suggest how to edit these themes.

Hi, take a look at http://designer.xiaomi.com/

I looked but unfortunately it is not in English.
This is as far as I got, but it doesn't really give any context so I can't really figure out what to do:
http://wiki.dev.xiaomi.com/index.php?title=主题制作
I can connect my phone and load the current theme from my phone, but the tool doesn't load in any image assets aside from wallpaper and app icons. And also, I can't figure out which of the thousands of colour values to change. Is there a way to get in XML or something

Maybe this will help:
