Hello, I made a theme on MIUI, but for some reason I can't get it working on Weapon G2X..
I got the notification bar icons to work, but I don't really know how to mod the drop down notification bar. I have all the icons in the MTZ in the SystemUI file.
Could someone help me port this over?
I attached Backup_0.mtz (the theme from MIUI).
SystemUI.apk (My modded SystemUI.apk which has the notification bar icons from the MIUI theme)
(the framework that must be modded I'm assuming is framework-res.apk? Or how else do I mod the notification drop down bar?)
Thanks for any help!

Holy hell. This might bring me over to CM7 again. Once you MIUI its hard to go back. I wish the main apps like the dialer and messaging app would be installable on other roms.

I miss MIUI too. Unfortunately for me stuff was just not working at all, 3g connectivity broke, and certain things wouldn't work properly.
On weapon most of the pulldown is in systemui.apk. the other basics is in frameworkres. I have alot going on lately but if I have time I will look at it.

I'd thank you but I'm on XDA App. Thank you though
I'll check out systemUI when I get home. I was peeking in framework-res and couldn't find the files, so I'll check again SystemUI.apk

It's getting there. I just have a problem with the time being in white so you can't see it, and blotchy black colors on the drop down bar.
Also, the status bar when closed just looks like a purely white straight across line. I wanna make it a little more gradient towards the bottom. Anyone good with doingthings like that?
Edit:: How do I edit the color of the text of "Emergency" (I think it's the carrier name).
And also edit the colors of the background of the status bar expanded? I've changed every png so far. I'd like to make the status bar black until you pull it down, then it turns white. Possible?
It is possible. The easiest way I have found is using partially transparent status bars. As for the text colors its in various XML files. Their names pretty much will give them away.
For the backgrounds of where it shows notifications like download and such is app_item_background.9 but if your talking about the bar itself I think you will have to make semi major mods

Dang :S
I can't open the xml files, it always comes up as random squares. I'm using notepad++ btw.
Any reason why they're coming up weird?
And yeah, like I changed the bottom tab of the drop down bar, and I changed the background for text and for the quick toggles, but the actual bar still seems to be black on the background. The things I changed just seem to be overlays. Do you know how to change the actual entire bar?
You have to decompile Apks before you can edit the xml with notepad++

Whoa that sounds complicated.
I'll google around how to decompile apks. After decompiling and editing xml files can I just drag and drop them back into the apk? Or do I need to recompile.
Yes you would have to recompile them.

There is a great thread for theming by theimpalar747 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814
If I remember correctly I use apk manager 4.9 to decompile and recompile. You have to set up some Java to work on certain system apk files, and the resources.arsc file can bite you in the a$$ sometimes. I replied to you in my thread btw, did they answer your question?
I also like the villainrom theming script, makes it easy to make flashable zips. But that is just my 2¢.

Yes thank you it did
I'm slowly piecing it together. For some reason though I tried changing all the png's and it still doesn't change the actual color from black to white.
I'm wondering now if it's even a png for the true background of the status bar.
I will definitely check out the application for compiling/decompiling, hopefully I can get this thing working lol
You know, honestly, the new Weapon 2.7 theme I can totally live with.
If someone of greater knowledge would like to take over my project though, I wouldn't object lol. I just don't really know what I'm doing, I've had my phone stuck in bootloops like 5 times now -.-
If you want and I get some free time I will look at porting it to 2.7 for you once I get through updating all my crap.

That would be amazing!!
Whenever you have time that would be great
I'm done trying it out for the night. I'll continue testing PNGs tomorrow.
So far I have all the icons ported, and some proper white backgrounds. But then there's random black blotches and the clock color is white, gotta change it to black.
Thank you for all your help so far!

On weapon you can change clock color with the edttweaks app. No need to stress over that. Framework.jar is where you would normally change it.

Now return to the app, select it, and install... enjoy

If I wanted to change the read/unread could you point me to the correct file and line? Also what is the smali color code for the grey that you use? Also the html color code for the grey. I could probably find out where in the files they are located if I knew the color code. I have a black/blue theme and am wanting to redo my Gmail to match it. I have almost completed theming the entire gmail. I am just missing the smali edits. Any help would be appreciated and all credit would be given.

I have an first generation Incredible and it would not install. ROOTED.
If it won't install, then go into /system/app and delete the Gmail.apk in there and reinstall.. You will need to reboot after deleting the file though, or the install will fail
Work perfectly on my Milestone, had to remove other gmail first but no problem there.

Depends, if they're just icons/image .png's, then you can use 7zip to open the apk's and find what you want to move. If it's font colors and other items (XML edits), it may be a little more difficult than that.

if the themes are for the same rom you could do it. you will need to know what to look for so you can pick and choose.
All the themes are for cm7. Some are images, some are things like dialers and such.. if all of it can be done not having to use Linux then I'm fine with it.. ill have to crack an apk open and take a look..

oh so they are cm7 theme chooser apk's. that makes it easier. if you decompile with apktool you can combined them. the xmls will show RGB color codes so you can see it more clearer. which themes where you trying to combined?
Newwavegb & mixer.. I like how newwave has tthe colored icons for the settings section, but mixer also has colored icons for all the smaller setting sections.. the dialer for newwave is a little bland, the solid black..
Is apktool Linux or windows?

Hey Guys and Gals,
How difficult would it be to edit the 14 toggle mod to remove the line indicator and just leave the icon to light up when pressed? I like a bit more room on my notification bar and this would be perfect. I tried editing it myself. I've done some theme work but I can't really find the correct places to remove to re-size it. If anyone wouldn't mind taking a shot at it I'd appreciate it or tell me how.

To resize I don't think it would be a matter of removing code, but altering it, or altering the dimensions of the images.
If you want more screen real estate I'd recommend changing your pixel density.
