I have seen images of this done, but I can't find the xml controlling the color of the green bar that appears when you draw the pattern. I have looked through a lot of apk who could be the culprit, but with no luck. Anyone know where to find it?

It looks like just changing some .png's to me
Did you look in /system/framework/framework-res.apk ?
indicator_code_lock_point_area_default
indicator_code_lock_point_area_green
indicator_code_lock_point_area_red
Try changing those and see if it works.
Nevermind: Now I see you were asking about the green bar, not the color of the buttons. Sorry, can't help there.

It seems that noone knows how to do this. I have posted in several forums, but haven't got any answer yet. I can't se any reason why it shouldn't de doable though. On nonsense roms it's grey, and of course green on sense, and I have seen a youtube video where it was blue.
It's all done in png's, even the connecting lines. Those are .9 though

Future reference, please make a relevant title to any post you make. No one knows at a glance what "Quick question..." is about. This reduces the number of people who know what they're talking about(who usually avoid these types of threads based on title alone), which makes it considerably more difficult for you to get an answer.
That being said, I have no idea what your initial and follow up questions are even about.
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.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver

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.

Okay so I've looked around at couple different places and there no real way to explain how to get my status icons to stick. I'm trying to add a battery mod from my phone majority of the icons come from ROM tool box that auto flashes them to the device however some icons are missing like 20% battery icon.... so I go into ninjamorph open systemui and edit the icons as normal but when I go to finish the project its like the setting don't stick I'm running Jedi jelly anybody help or input on this

Remember how, in the older versions of Android, there was a button to get to Settings where the status bar was when you pulled down the notification shade?
Now, you can dedicate a whole tile to it, and it simulates the same affect, except... I don't like it.
See attached picture. There's plenty of space up there to have a little settings button. I hate having to swipe over to the tiles to get to it.
Anyone know how I can get this beloved retro feature back?

If you decompile SystemUI.apk and then make smali edits you can add in the Settings icon and function like you want, check out this guide as a starting point for what you want to do and I would adapt it to fit your needs.
