I've been theming small aspects of JVB, specifically Perception II. I've tried to theme the background of the music controls inside the status bar drawer. On Froyo ROMs, I could just throw a modified png into the zip. Now, I do that and it's still purple. I even decompiled and recomplied with the new pngs, but it doesn't work. Any ideas on what to do? I attached the modded files below. Thanks!
Are you replacing the ones in twframework-res.apk?

Of course. I opened them in Photoshop and edited and put them back into twframework. Thing is, I've done this before very successfully modifying themes on Froyo.
Wacky.. dunno dude, I'll give it a shot later tonight and see if I can get it to work if the wife doesn't burglarize all my time.

Wow thanks a lot man
Yeah, that's weird.. changing the png's doesn't seem to affect what actually shows up. Makes you wonder if it's grabbing them from somewhere else entirely..
Edit: I was right! Check out /system/app/MusicPlayer.apk, it has it's own set of status bar png's. I haven't tried replacing them myself yet, but I have a strong feeling that those are the ones you should be changing as opposed to the ones in twframework-res.apk. Samsung seems to enjoy scattering their graphics around.. there are also a couple pertinent to the status bar and dropdown shade in SystemUI.apk and Phone.apk.
Good luck, dude! Let me know if those were the correct ones!

Is SystemUI.apk new to Gingerbread? I'll look into it.
God THANK YOU, that's an amazing find and so useful to me! I am SO GRATEFUL. Damn, Samsung isn't the most efficient company of coders. Putting lockscreen music control backgrounds in framework-res and status bar ones in music apk? Wow.
SystemUI.apk handles all the notification bar/dropdown stuff and all of those images are used instead of what's in twframework-res.apk now (GB).
The background and buttons for the dropdown are in MusicPlayer.apk though. Crazy.
So apparently the toggle PNGs in SystemUI.apk are locked, so they cannot be edited in Photoshop and lose their transparency. Sucks....
Yeah, kinda sucks. I grabbed a screenshot of Explorer with large thumbnails, copied each one and inverted them so they're smoothed to black background, made black transparent, then changed the color. It works out ok I guess.

They still turn out jagged because the originals, using transparency, are smoothed. I think I can get someone to fix that...
If anyone is interested, I am recreating a lot of the elements by hand. It's HARD OH MY GOD, some pieces require 7 layers of separate transparencies i have to match to the originals. But I'm making a theme, just modded stock for now but I'll be working on it for a while. I'll make a thread soon!
So ALL the battery icons are locked... I downloaded a random GB theme and took out the battery icons, and those are locked too. Decompiled framework, still locked. What the hell???? How do I mod them?!
I figured most stuff out now. Except how to change the status bar background. I put it into SystemUI.apk (2 different names), framework, and twframework. Nothing works. Any clues?

Check SystemUI.apk drawable-hdpi directory, also check the values directory, there's one xml in there that defines the background color for the dropdown shade.

Why aren't you using the originals? Is it because they're Index images that don't open properly? If so, open them with Adobe Fireworks, save them, then open them in whatever else.
res\layout\status_bar_tracking.xml has the background color. Change to image:
<View android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Copy the file from the theme in my sig if you need a working reference. It has no clock in the bar and no text in the toggles as well.

GIMP, convert to RGB, then it works. But GIMP has no real batch mode, like Photoshop. Which sucks.

Yeah that's why originally. Can you open 171 files in Fireworks and save them automatically? I don't wanna do that for all the status bar stuff individually.

I was wondering if there is a way to reverse icon colors in the status bar. I just downloaded a black status bar and a lot of the icons blend into the black bar (if that makes sense).
If anyone can help me out, thanks. I don't know anything at all about coding and very little about the root process, so a Metamorph option would be the easiest way for me, although I can figure out theming.

Wow that is a great idea. I never thought of that haha (still brand new to this stuff). Well, unfortunately it doesn't have icons for Messaging, Gmail and a few others. Thanks for the idea though. Now I know I can check.
Any other ideas?
Anyone know of anything else to do?
Shameless bump because I really want this.
There is a desire morph around somewhere, locate the files or images you want and I can make a morph, just need to know what rom and icons.
Also bumping. Now that CM has theming, I think someone should have one out.

I checked out ninja morph. You're right, it does exactly what you said...EXCEPT you have to modify every icon individually, which ends up being an enormous pain.
Also, I could have missed something but how do you inverse icons directly on the phone? I looked around and still couldnt find anything. Ended up transfering them to the pc and editing them from there.
In the end, I'm just amazed that android doesn't have a unified icon / theming system yet. To edit messages, you have to go in to mms.apk (took me forever to figure that one out), to edit gmail you have to look in gmail.apk, system icons were in framework, etc. What a pain.
I've asked a few people and searched like crazy with no real answer so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm running Calk's HD rom and it's awesome. I would just prefer a 4 row app drawer as opposed to the 5 it comes with. Is there an easy way to change this? I haven't been able to locate the setting in the rosie.apk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What if you use adw launcher? You can change it from 3 to 8.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/adw-launcher/org.adw.launcher
Oh wait I think he is using adw, well then go to settings, adw launcher settings, screen preferences, under desktop layout change the Desktop Columns from 5 to 4.
Thanks. I'm referring to sense though. I should have specified. I know how to do it with adw and launcherpro. I wish it were that easy in sense.

ah crap, sorry
You need to decompile your Rosie.apk and change the "5" value in the all_apps_view.xml (its actually titled something like that) to a "4". Then you will need to recompile and flash.

Thanks so much. It looks like to do this the xml would need to be converted first or done with hex editing. Way beyond my skill. But I'm going to trying recompiling the apk using the all_apps_view.xml from a different rosie with a 4 app drawer. I'll post my results.
That didn't work. Not sure the setting lives there. The rom I grabbed the all_apps_view.xml file from has an opaque app drawer, calk's has transparent. After compiling the rosie with the new xml file and rebooting, I still had a 5 row app drawer but the background was opaque.

there are 3 changes to be made.... one is the one u were given already.
keep in mind that u MUST decompile cuz it changes things inside the resources.arsc file
the second one is inside values/integer.xml
change
Code:
<integer name="allprogram_grid_columns">5</integer>
to have the value 4 instead of 5.
and in values/dimens.xml change
Code:
<dimen name="all_program_grid_view_horizontal_spacing">1.0dip</dimen>
to have the value 6.0dip.
that should work.
good luck.
edit:
just saw u said u using the HD rom... i was referring to the a non HD rosie... so although it should still be the same thing, it might not be... so keep that in mind in case it wont work... but thats how u would do it for the regular Rosie.

Ok, that's a little over my head considering I don't even see the xml files you're referring to. I'm only able to play with what I can see by unpacking the apk using simple methods. Changing the all_apps_view file changed the drawer background, which is undesired. If I simply swap out the the full rosie.apk from the other rom, I can achieve the 4 row drawer with the opaque background but I'm looking to retain the translucent. So, perhaps it's easier to start with the other rosie with the opaque background and modify that to have a translucent background? Can using the original all_apps_view accomplish this or is there an easier way?

UPDATE - So i finaly figured it out, feel like a absolute NOOB atm. but these things happen.
Basicaly i edited the "Styles.XML" to make the backgrounds tranperant.
i looked for the style that the android manifest referenced and changed the parent to "@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"
changed the background image to just a black transplucent image
rebuilt the app, copied the resources.arsc and the moded image,
pushed it to my phone, and BOOM! it worked a treat.
this should work in any app i think.
sometimes the hardest problems are solved so easliy.....
once i have tested it a bit i'll wrap the phone / contacts / mms apps into a update zip hopefully tonight or tomorro.
also i'll put a quick tut together if ppl are interested.

I am trying to make a fully transparent theme. Got all the framework-res stuff downpat. But I can't for the life of me get the other apps to go transperant.
I tried just changing the background image to semi transparent in the contacts app, then I went fishing around in the xml files but can't find any thing that relates to the background.
then in the mms app I found all the colours in the res/values
Changed the alpha but it didn't work.
Been searching around and can't find out how to make it work.
Thanks in advance.

So i fgured this out. thought i'd share
only took a few weeks of googling. (and finding the correct thing to google)
lol...
i had to add the style to the AndroidManifest.xml
i used
Code:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"
and i put it in the application brackets. so it looked like this
Code:
<application android:label="@string/app_label" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_smsmms" android:name="MmsApp" android:taskAffinity="android.task.mms" android:allowTaskReparenting="true" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">
then the usual stuff with making stuff Transparent.
attached is a screeny or 2 the funny lines is my wallpaper. (fireflies Live wallpaper)
next im going to do the Phone and contacts apps, then move my way through the rest of the phone
Pvy.
are you still working on this? i think it would be cool to have all menus transparent
Yeah mate, been having mega issues with my new laptop. it wont decompile/recompile apks properly... i think it is a win 7, 64 bit issue...
so i hit a bit of a snag. was thinking of releasing a theme if ppl were interested. (gotta figure out the whole recovery zip thing tho)

modifying the alpha/transperancy of the images and the alpha in the xml files.
ie int the color.xml it has the background colors,
so #ff000000 is fully opaque black,
and #99000000 is like 60% Transperant Black
i'll post the MMS.APK if thats what you are after. and you can see all the changes i made. it was rather rushed after i had my epipheny
EDIT- I attached the MMS.apk that i was working on recently, it runs on the emulator, and the transperancy works for both black and white backgrounds. the apk is signed so it should run on a phone. but normal stuff aplies,
Make sure you have a backup of the original, and i'm not responsible for any damage, ect ect ect.
alot of the XML files have small changes.
let me kno if ya want any more info

That image I already edited. Has not made a difference.
You have to nake a transparent color in colors.xml, the image is called dial_edit_btn or close to that name... To make the dialer transparent xml colors must be changed also and styles
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
That box is not an image. It is a color found in the res/values/colors.xml.
Look for <color name="tw_color002">#FF000000</color> and change it to <color name="tw_color002">#00000000</color>. That will make that little box transparent. However, you will run into an issue...there is another xml that calls that color for text. Your text will be invisible. So you need to edit that xml to call on a different color code. Find the file layout/dialer_searchdialog_contents...in it you will see several places that call on the color/tw_color002 line in the color.xml. Simply change those codes to tw_color017, which happens to have the value FF000000, and your text issue will be nonexistent.
Good luck.

So I am sure many of you have noticed that when you decompile ClockPackage.apk or SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk you see a bunch of PKM image files. I have managed to replace most of them with PNG files and sucessfully theme both APK's.
Here is a link to both of my ASU Sun Devil themed ClockPackage.apk and SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk. http://d-h.st/q5D
You are welcome to theme them as you see fit. I spent over 100 hours on these. PS: the text color code I use is ffffb310 hex and -0x4cf0 smali. There are some smali edits in ClockPackage. None in Contacts.
Thanks for looking!!!

Ok, I'm stumped. I took ALL the images from XXHDPI and vrthemed them into another SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk file and it didn't appear to do anything except maybe change the statusbar.
I pulled the apk just to be certain and sure enough, the themed png files were there. Any ideas?

You can't do that. The PKM files will still exist. You must morph the whole folder if you are going to do that so it erases the stock one.
Best way is to just decompile and theme it. Use my APK's as a base.

Ahhh!!! Gotcha. Totally forgot about that. I don't do a lot of theming I work on other development stuff mainly but this particular release is going to keep us busy for a while I think. LOL
Dev Edition?
Ok figured out that your contacts apk flashes and works fine on the Sprint S5 variant btw (very nice, this could come in handy later).
However, it does not play nice with apktool 2.0x so I decompiled it with apktool 1.5.2 and it 'almost' recompiled fine except for an apktool dummy error that was being generated by res/drawable/select_all_item_bg.xml. The resource is definitely there but it gave it that value for this line anyway.
Code:
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@*android:drawable/APKTOOL_DUMMY_0b03" />
To correct for that, I pulled the stock select_all_item_bg.xml, copied right over the decompiled one with the apktool dummy code (I know I could have just fixed the line but whatever ) and it now recompiles perfectly. I am attaching that file for anyone that may have issues. This xml file is ALREADY decompiled.
Edit: EMSPilot, I heard you got the original images from the S4. You don't still happen to have an stock/unthemed version of contacts we can work from do you ?

I was truly amazed when coming across this thread and just wanted to take my hat off to you! i have a question tho... sorry if you already answered for i attempted to search for the answer in this thread but am still a little confused.. so again how did you replace the pkm with a png? just by using another seccontacts image and replacing the pkm with the png?? i doubt thats how because you would have to change it in the values folder or something like that correct? kinda like i and i also saw you figured out how to edit our own dialer button image? ive just been so stumped with these pkms that i am like i need to know how you did it! lol.
