I remember on the TP2 I was able to change the clock to a clear shot. Is there a way we can do this on the android platform?
in gb you will need to decompile systemui.apk and change it in the statusbar.xml

I have been on a mission to try and get the Motorola Defy lock screen looking like the stock android one.
So far I have managed to get the sliders and the layout the same but am stuck at the last hurdle getting the clock in the clockopia font.
You can't change it in the framework-res.apk layouts and because it currently uses a generic system font I can't just change the font in the fonts folder as that will change everything to clockopia. So I have decompiled the Defy android.policy.jar to look at the lockscreen.smali but I can't see any references to fonts or setting the typeface.
I take it that I need to add something like this in somewhere but I am no Java dev:
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),"fonts/Clockopia.ttf");
mTimeDisplay.setTypeface(tf);
I also extracted the lockscreen.java out of the android open source project and I can't see where the clockopia font gets set in there either.
Could someone with the full open source project please do a grep for clockopia and see where it is set?
I would really appreciate some help and direction on this one.
OK found it in the framework.jar
Hello, im trying to use a gingerbread theme for fission 2.4.3. However, for some reason, the insides of the silence sliders are completely transparent and do not have the dark transparent gray of the other sliders.
I've edited the .png files and tried recompiling the theme many times, but when i get to the lockscreen the slider just doesnt move. I just cant seem to get the 9-patch process right.
In other words, i want to use the attached pngs named edit1 and edit2 in place of the original sliders, which are also attached.
any help is appreciated, thanks!

How are you trying to edit the sliders? Those are .9.png files, they need to be edited different than normal .png files, as .9.png files are stretchable....
I use apkmanger 4.9 for extracting/signing/compiling etc.... if I'm only editing .png files or replacing(not editing) .9.png files, I use Simple Tasks section...
If I'm going to edit .9.png files, I use the Advanced Task sections, as they have to be Decompiled and Compiled... you will see a difference in the .9.png files when you do a regular extract and decompile, it needs those black borders/dots to make them work right... I don't get all fancy with my editing, so I use either gimp or paint.net to edit the .png/.9.png files...
I attached the sliders that you are wanting to use.. give those a try.. since you're only replacing the .9.png and not doing any editing, you should just be able to extract the .apk, and replace the sliders....
Good luck...
Is there a way to change the colors of the wifi/data, phone signal and battery icons in the status bar? I'm currently using weapon 2.4, so I'm rooted and was wondering if it might be a simple file edit to do so. If there is an app that lets you do that, I haven't found it yet but I would love to know how they work so I can potentially assign each icon a different custom color. Thanks in advance for any help.
--UPDATE--
ok so from what i've read so far it looks like i'm going to be editing some lines in the classes.dex which i extracted from the services.jar file in the framework folder. when I open up the classes.dex with baksmali i cannot find the \com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali file .. not just in that folder but anywhere within the expanded classes.dex archive. Is StatusBarIcon.smali where I'll be able to change the color of the icons in the notification bar or am I completely off track here?
You want to change the color of the icons? They are png files in the SystemUI.apk, so either pull them out and edit them in some photo software, find icons you like and add them, use a theme, or use UOT Kitchen.
do you have the "Theme Chooser" app on your phone?
If so, you might want to check out some themes and install one of those
or use Metamorph or a zip application to make your own
and remember, always backup your rom
Just use NinjaMorph, and edit SystemUI.apk... If you're looking to make them green, check my thread in the Themes section.

I am new to theming. I extracted some apks from the ICS OTA and tried to change the gray colors in options menu (gri.png attachment) and calculator background. However, I couldn't find which png to change or if I need to change something else.
Can you please explain how to change these colors? Thanks! I really need this before getting crazier
I was working on a new Windows phone ROM project.Everything got correctly,all launchers,icons,etc.The last thing is change settings mans android to windows phone settings.
How to do that?
You theme the settings.
Decompile it and theme the images, and the colours in the colors.xml

Sorry,but i dont know how to theme settings apk
You'll have to decompile your settings and then theme it as in colour and modify the images to make it look like the windows phones settings
Ok i decompiled..Now where to go to change colours and modify images?
Colours is located in res/values/colors.xml and images are in /res and look in drawable folders.
