I'm doing some image theming to personalize my DX.
I'm having the hardest time finding the image that I need to edit to change the app drawer background.
I've searched framework-res, moto-res, blur-res, BlurHome and the SystemUI apk's.
Can anyone identify that image for me?
Thanks for any advice provided.

watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2qyU5yL0fE,click my thanks bar if this helps cheers,and follow install instructions here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226873
The top image is system/app/Conversations.apk/drawable-hdpi/conv_drop_down.9.png
Since it is a .9.png you will need to go through some extra steps to change it (decompile, etc.). Search how to work with .9.pngs here or on Google.
I think phillu97 may be right about the second element (day sent bg) being in the xml.

oh whoops, i didn't see that he also wanted to edit the first one :3
but, yerh, it would be in xml files. I've done alot of modding, and what I've done is made teh bg transparent, and the day thingie #000000 [black] at 70% transparency

@Phillu... which xml files are the ones which you modified? And which lines did u change the code?
I have successfully used the UOT Kitchen to modify the icons and fonts, etc. but I now want to add the "green if connected to Google" icons which I didn't see in the kitchen.
Can someone explain how this can be done? Can I just modify the framework-res.apk or is this another kind of tweak or fix??
Thanks
PS: I can't see any themes around anymore that offer this (I am on WB v5 + DL custom kernel at the moment)
If you are on stock rom you can use Achotjan flashable zip in android development section (i can't post here the link cause i'm on mobile but you can easily find it watching on achotjan threads on his profile)..otherwise if you are on a different rom..you can copy and replace icon.png images from achotjan framework to your! good luck

Thanks, I don't want a new ROM - just the green icons. I currently have green icons but not the ones that only go green when you are connected to Google services.
I am looking for JUST that part only.

I have used those once before, but the files don't exist on those links anymore. I would like a dev to explain if this is something that we can do ourselves, or if it is some complicated hack.....

I want it. Please upload if its not too much trouble... Btw i'm running wolfs tw v5. Will it work on this ROM?

I would like to be able to do it myself as I already have a customised framework and systemUI.apk.
If someone could explain the process that would be great.
you just need to replace the correct icons in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk then replace them on your phone.
The way i did it was copy .apk file to computer, change extension to .rar, open it in winrar (not extract), extract the hdpi-drawable folder then replace icons, copy that hdpi-drawable folder with the new icons back into winrar and it will ask you to repack the .rar, after that change the extension back to .apk and copy it to the correct folder. The framework-res.apk one is ok to copy back but if you do the systemui.apk one you will get endless fc until you can restart your phone so i think you have to install it through flashtool?
I think that you have to replace the images without extract the entire apk otherwise you need to resign it when you finish! Anyway..framework is not involved..wifi and signal icons are sustemUI related only..i will upload it in few hours..then you can watch inside for the green icons and do it yourself! Pay attention..cause if you do something wrong probably the phone won't boot up or gives fc!

Thanks for the file. I am able to change the icons using the kitchen, but I need to understand how just replacing the icons gets them to change colour when connected to Google?? Is the code already there and the icons are all the same colour so we just don't see it with the stock icons?
I have made other changes to my SystemUI so I don't want to lose those changes - that's why I want to be able to change my own files.
Is it really just a case of changing the icons to get the desired effect? Is it some specific icons that are needed, or any icons? *still confused*

Mate..open the file that i post..inside you can find systemUI.apk..opne it with winrar and extract drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop..you will see all your icons..the images named "....fully.png" are colored green!! You must replace your current icon in your custom SystemUi with this ones!! Is it more clear now?

do you mean how the data icon and the signal bars change from green to white/grey?? cause if so then yes just changing the .pngs will be fine cause i did it with my own systemui/framework.
Thanks all. That's what I wanted to know.

It's all in the systemui.apk
It's both, png files and Xml files you need to edit.

Please shed me some light to xml editing, png's are easy pie, but I need some info for the xml's, I'm quick learner here
Decompile the .apk, find the xml your wanting to edit, use a text editor like Notepad++, which is free and I highly recommend. Open the xml with the text editor, make your changes and save. Recompile the .apk and you're done.

I would like to change the icons of the apks (image) and into the apks (image), how can I do this? It is difficult?
