Nope, those apps cant remove the icon name. You can only use a space as a name but wont look good, will just be a black-spot..

It can be done by a simple xml edit in Rosie. I tried it at one time, but never released. I will take a quick look in the Rosie apk and post back when I find the name of the xml.
EDIT: It's in the values and values-normal folders. The files that needs editing are colors.xml and styles.xml. The places that needs editing are selfexplanatory, but basicly it's just a matter of setting the alpha value to opaque (00) in the places needed.
@sipvn: ADW Launcher? I'm currently using it, no option in settings for that :/
@tristan202: Thanks, I never gone that far learning how do edit rosie/apk's/xml's.. Any guides? I failed searching

Just wondering if someone is already working on changing the lockscreen sliders to a glossy black, moto sliders are fugly. I have seen many posts for people requesting this in other threads and being a noob to theming I have no idea where to start.
What is the name of the file that needs to be modified and in which .apk is it located? I might make this my first "theme" project if I find the file and if this has not already been done.
The sliders are part of framework. Pull framework-res.apk from /system/framework and open the apk in any zip program like 7zip or WinRAR. Then look in the drawable-hdpi and drawable-land-hdpi folders and you should see the sliders. Then edit in Photoshop or something. Put back in framework-res.apk then push back to the phone and reboot.

Not that simple...they're .9.png's. if you just edit them in photoshop they'll mess things up and not turn out right.
Even with just simply changing the color?

nope.. when saved in photo editor it loses its .9 properties...
have to used draw9patch in android sdk to apply guides..
just decompile original apk with apktool or apkmanager to get the original showing you where the guides are located
I changed the colors of the sliders from the dark green whatever color to red using photoshop and they work fine.

You got lucky somehow. All .9's have a 1 pixel border that exist as guides to the OS of where to stretch and where to anchor the image. Changing the color can remove/alter these guides. Rarely can you just change the color of a .9 and expect it to work/appear as it should. I would look at the thread with the how to video for draw9patch if you want to edit the lock sliders or any other .9 image.
Thanks for the info.

Something like this?
BTW this if fully functional, drop it in your framework (rename it!) and push it. If its what you need let me know, ill finish the rest.
Black sliders
If you see page four ... Clear / cant see sliders
you might be able to use ninja morph to apply these, or you need to know how to add files to an apk and push back. These go in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
Dont add these to a decompiled apk! drop these straight into the apk with your perfered method.

I downloaded your theme and you successfully changed the color, but the slider doesnt slide. But it is still functional. Just doesnt actually show the bar sliding. This is where the .9.png comes into play
My current update.zip that's up right now? The sliders in that don't work? Every one else reports no problems. Could you be more specific.

I just decompiled my whole theme and checked the sliders. They are compiled and working correctly. Something might of went screwy on your install.

lol, nevermind. I was thinkin you did Froyo Dynomite. The slider doesnt slide in that one.
You can easily changed the color of the sliders. But you have to decompile first. If you just unzip the apk it loses the 9 patch info(see below). If you have a theme and the slider does not slide then this is the reason.

Hey guys - looking to mess around with some custom UIs. I can't figure out what files need to be edited to change the dialer buttons. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
adb pull the framework-res.apk (located in /system/framework) and check the drawable folders (located in res). you could also check the htcdialer.apk (located in /system/app)
I've tried both files and I'm having no luck.I even tried pushing the htc dialer apk and the phone apk from other roms with no luck. I don't see anything in the framework or htc framework files.if someone knows the exact files to edit I'd be thankful.

I've actually tried that too. I just can't seem to find the correct PNG files. There are some in the Phone.apk but I tried swapping those and nothing changed. I downloaded thew framework theme of Redemption Revolution Rom - I literally pulled apart every apk and then did a search for all png files. Still didn't see the dialer buttons. I applied the theme to my phone, and the dialer buttons changed, so they have to be in there somewhere!!
I know on virtuous they are in HtcDialer.apk /res/drawable-hdpi if i remember right. and the button press color was in com.htc.resources.apk id have to look on my pc to be absolutly sure
•Sent from my Incredible
Well I found the actual button graphic, it's in com.htc.resources.apk. Now i'm just trying to find out how to patch the text color.
Anyone know that part? I'm almost there!
I'm pretty sure the dialer text is controlled by an xml file in the dialer.apk - what program should I use to make edits to the xml files?
Is there any way to edit the way the Android dialer displays the numbers you dial on the phone? This is something that the iPhone does really well, where it will split the numbers up into something like (800) 555-5555 instead of showing 8005555555.
Still looking for help on this...
I am trying to change the dialer button text to have white numbers instead of black. I'm having a hell of a time decompling the apks, finding the right xml file to edit, and then getting my changes to stick when I recompile. Anyone want to take a whack at it for me? I don't even know which apk I definitely have to edit to make the change.
I uploaded both the HtcDialer.apk and the Phone.apk from my phone in a rar file below... if anyone wants to take a look I'd appreciate it.

Hi everyone! Im making a theme for Gingerbread for the Galaxy Tab and am stuck because of an icon I cant get rid of or find where it is! Can someone help and tell me WHERE the icon (below attached) that pops up on the task bar during Media Scanning, is hidden? I looked everywhere, all system APKs I can think of including framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and cannot find it anywhere. Its driving me crazy!
I've successfully modded stat_notify_sdcard.png, stat_notify_sdcard_prepare.png and stat_notify_sdcard_usb.png from framework-res.apk and during PREPARE SD CARD operations the new updated icons show up.
However during MEDIA SCANNING operations, the old shows up again, no matter what. This stock icon I want to replace is hiding still somewhere else (..I cleaned all caches multiple times just in case and doesn't fix it)
Thanks in advance for the tip!
maybe you find in under music player ?

You're right again, thank you very very much!! Im almost done with all the graphics except one and editing some XMLs:
First, the download successful graphic was indeed in the vending.apk but when the download is not successful the standard red warning triangle is displayed. This graphic is not part of the vending.apk so im assuming its pulled from the standard stat_sys_warning.png from framework-res.apk?
Finally, I need to change and that is the size of the fonts for the date display on the top right of the taskbar. Do you know which XML or file I need to edit to change that font size?
Thanks again for all you amazing knowledge and help on this

I do believe the status bar clock is controlled by the services.jar and not a particular. Xml file, but ive never edited that clock so i am not 100% positive. Im horrible with smali code. Sorry! Yes the stat-notify-error.png in framework-res would control the statusbar icon for errors while downloading apps.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that one is either framework-res or twframework-res (if you're still on a TW ROM). I thought I saw it in amongst the stat_sys_* images, but I could be completely wrong. I don't think I've tried editing that one.
EDIT: By the way, check in status_bar_expanded.xml and status_bar.xml for some parameters regarding the clock, but be careful cos they can ruin a theme (everything from graphical artifacts to bootloops) quite easily.
Hi there!
One of the thing that I'm struggling with HTC is the fact that from the moment the have moved to android they have always put the black background on the all apps menu which isn't so beautiful. Is there anyway here who know if it could be possible to have, at least, the same background image of the home for the all apps menu?
P.S. And by the way I don't get why is not possible to customize the background iamge of the all apps menu, come on this was possible on windows mobile!!!!

Well of course, you extracted it with 7zip. Grab apktool or something else that can unpack APKs properly and decrypt the XMLs etc., use it to extract the APK and then you should be able to edit it easily enough.
EDIT: You'll also need to pull com.htc.resources.apk from /system/framework and install it with the command
Code:
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
to properly decrypt the APK
EDIT: Although I can't find the XML referenced above in the Rosie.apk from my Sense 3.5 device...(HTC Explorer).
EDIT: In res\values\colors.xml I found a reference for a colour "all_item_background" which is #ff000000 (i.e. black), but it only appears to be used for as the colour for some text. Despite not really wanting to have a transparent background here, it's bugging me.

Galaxy Y is a Samsung phone, so it doesn't have Sense. It has TouchWiz. So the launcher is different to the Sense one. It is almost certainly possible to do a similar thing, but it won't be done exactly the same.
I believe the TouchWiz launcher it called twlauncher.apk or something like that. Pull that file off your phone and use apktool to extract it, look in the XMLs in res\layout and try to find the background colour. It'll probably be #ff000000. You could try using something like grep to search for that in the folder to try and narrow down the possibilities.
Just a few thoughts that might possibly help.

Well that is easily done once the right value is found in the right XML. It's find the value that is the tricky part.
