Lockscreens, status bars and reboot options oh my! - Motorola Atrix 2

From what I've gathered the lockscreen, status bar and reboot option is all rolled up in one framework file. Res something? Anyhow, what I've noticed on all of the ROMs that come with the reboot option, the reboot option zips, and the status bar zips is this; it grays out the main phone menus. The menus used to go to settings, wallpaper changer etc. Stock is white. I happen to like the stock white. Its easier for me to read the gray letters. Ultimately I'd like to see everything black with white lettering. Can anybody point me in the direction of what file needs to be modified and give me a hand in theming/modding that aspect? I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned here already. Its becoming increasingly annoying for me to the point where
I won't use a zip if its going to include the dreaded gray menu throughout the phone (shows up in apps too).
Whew! Didn't mean to be so long winded. Also, please don't confuse what I'm saying with JRW's updater zip that inverts the settings screens on Lithium ROM. That's not what I'm talking about.
Cheers.

Not answering your main question, but status bar goes from SystemUI.apk (about 90-95% of resources for status bar are there). Lockscreen - yes, in framework-res.apk.

Yep. Status bar is mostly in SystemUI.apk, rest of it in framework-res.apk. Reboot is a couple different files, including framework-res.apk for the icon and android-policy.jar for the actual entry in the power options menu.
For everything black with white lettering... that would include some pretty heavy modifications of framework-res/res/values/styles.xml.

Yes you are talking about some extensive XML editing. The problem i have run into is tou will get one menu screen just right with black and gray lettering but then when you go to a submenu its all black on black. Ive been chasing this for weeks!! Moto def knows how to make things very complicated :/

If you're talking about something like Settings.apk with the different categories and such, I think that extra .apk's have to be themed for white-on-black (ex. data manager). I haven't tested my theory though. Most (if not all) text colors/backgrounds are in framework-res/res/values/styles.xml or drawable-hdpi for some backgrounds... so if you wanted EVERYTHING to be white-on-black you could just alter Theme.Light to be a replica of Theme.Black but I'm not sure how that would work out :\

I can't keep my mind off wanting everything consistent. Most app settings are black except for Motorola stuff. I guess its their way of standing out. I keep saying i'm going to digg in and start a project. I've done lots of websites in my day. Can't be much different. I also themed quite a few blackberrys. We'll see...

[HELP] Metamorph removes custom trackball colors

i'm on CM 5.0.5.3 and every single time i do a morph that changes the services/framework it removes the custom trackball colors and forces it to be white.
Even though the option is still in the menu, no matter what color i change it to, it stays white.
One one morph, it also screwed up SMS popup making it light up white first, before the custom color.
I would really love to use the custom statusbar i made but being unable to change the color is a huge turn off for me.
So does anyone know how to fix this?
*edit*
these were the two morphs i used and got the same issue both times:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6029657&postcount=4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6155781&postcount=20
So there is the wrong framwork in the theme.
In framework res is it for the trackball colours and metamorph brings it new.
yeah thats what another person just told me. So how exactly can i fix/get around this?
I don't know.
One of your posted ones is from me.
The Problem on the cyanogen rom is, that there are three or four different fremaworks.
One with trackball lit, one with the percentage of battery, one with both, one with nothing.
For me as a MCR User it is too much work to get it all on so much different ROMs.
At second is the problem, that the new cyanogen classes.dex isn't properly themeable.
So I think, it will not work.
Sorry. If anybody has a good idea, please share it!
so basically there seems to be no way to fix this. So the only way i get a blue trackball is to have not use any theme. that ****ing sucks.
Be aware of morphs that include a classes.dex file next time. If one does include it make sure you know what mods have been made before applying that part of the morph/apply-all.

so is it the classes.dex or the framework xml files that are causing this?
Honestly all i want is to have a black bar with working trackball. i don't know why this seems impossible on cyanogen.

It's not impossible, You would just have to get a themed update.zip that has it all included. Metamorph for the notification bar will not be the best due to the issues you have found! I use metamorph on my widgets but flash update.zip to change framework for the black bar...try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640707

Biggest reason why i use metamorph is because i like combining all kinda of images, including some i make myself into my own theme.
So i flashed that and rebooted. Nice blue trackball. Then opened up my morph and erased everything except the images and morphed that. And now it's perfect. white text where it's suppose to be, colors looking perfect and my custom theme ontop of it.
Never thought of just morphing the images i wanted over a flashed theme lol. Works pretty good. thanks for helping me figure this out.
Desire notification bar works too, and it looks better than the other blacks.

Whenever working with .jar, I find it is best to flash those in recovery that have been made from the specific ROM you are using, so that you get all of the features from it. I leave metamorph up to just doing images, since it is easier and compatible with more ROMs that way.

[REQ] Inverse Notification Icon Color (Black Status Bar)

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.

Haven´t checked that...best, open file and have a look before you morph.

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.

[MOD] MAKE YOUR OWN THEME!! Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen

are u installing this over a current theme?? are u adding any transparencies in the notification bar? what rom are u using? i've had the gapps FC before with this, but got everything worked out to where everything works perfect now..
I'm guessing CM 6 comes with a theme.. so I'm gonna say yes. I didn't make anything transparent, but I only did settings for part of the notification window.
What sucks now is that I nandroided back to a backup I made earlier today and it made everything like I just flashed CM 6 but LauncherPro kept FCing.. trying to nandroid again. :\
Edit: Can I choose sense icons without having a sense rom? If not, that's probably my problem.

try this, flash cm6 again (do not wipe) just flash the same one ur using again.. then flash ur theme u made.. (do not flash gapps again).. then reboot
If I remember that kitchen gave me issues a whole back with the rs folders... open your apk and look in the res folder check to see if v4 was appended to any of the drawable folders, if so delete the v4 part in the name and resign it.

Used this to get the circle battery with CM 6.1 RC1, my only issue is that now it displays a big "Roaming Indicator On" on my lockscreen (where the "Sprint" would usually be), and the roaming triangle is showing up in the taskbar (even though I'm like 98% sure I'm NOT roaming). Anyone have a suggestion of how to get rid of this? Maybe something I did in the process of cooking up the zip? All I want is the stock CM6 pulldown/notification bar with the circle battery, and also have the option to turn off the power control widget in the pulldown.

The issue comes from, I believe the ROM loaded on the site is actually from a GSM, so yeah, uploading the one right from your ROM works wonders.
So finally after reading page 2 of this I got it to work, lol. I was using the framework from the site, once I uploaded mine it worked! Although I chose to change my icons and that didnt happen, anyone else get this problem? Not to big of deal, the main thing I wanted was circle battery

I did it again and this time I checked the "include icons" and chose G4 blue sense 3D. Again they didnt show up This time what happened was my icons that were blue tinted (running Extremely Blue) turned white. Same stock icons, just white instead of the blue tinted ones. Can I use the sense icons?
Thanks
If it makes a difference I also selected the white notification bar icons as well, H1 DeFrost.
That was it, only chose the G4 blue sense 3D this time and it worked perfect! Now I need to do it again as there are a few I dont care for and would rather have my blue tinted ones, like signal bars
Now I got it looking BAD-A$$!!
Question,
When attempting to modify the Status bar notification I dont get to see the progress I am making. It looks like the Kitchen is supposed to let me see what each mod will look like as I change things, shouldnt that checkered area to the right of status bar mod settings show a preview of what I a doing, while I do it?
EDIT>>>>> Nevermind, I found to click generate at the bottom of page
Thanks
Alright so I redid my phone last night (starting from scratch when I know a little more about this stuff is good ) and tried this again, got the circle battery mod and the status bar icons and it works great!
If it helps anyone, I uploaded my framework this time instead of choosing from the list.

[Q] Theming JVB

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!

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!

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?!

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.

Yup, what Akellar said.
FYI - all of our CWM recoveries have ended up with red text, there have been 3 versions total (2.5, 2.5.x, now 3.0) any of which work with edify scripts. JT and other individuals have had to take the one released by koush and hack in edits to work with our phones, because the official versions are "broken" in that aspect - so only the ones posted here will work.
What does not work is trying to use CWM 3.0 to flash some of our theme/rom .zips (the ones that didn't already have edify scripts in them) that's where the incompatibility comes into play.
The text is black on a dark blue background making it hard to read. I read somewhere on the forums how to invert that. I 'll have to look that up. Just thought I'd let you know if you want to tweak the rom.

The text is black on a dark blue background making it hard to read. I read somewhere on the forums how to invert that. I 'll have to look that up. Just thought I'd let you know if you want to tweak the rom.

The text where? There's a lot of text in a lot of different places
The messaging, SMS app, has dark text.The clock on the status bar on top is missing also. When I enable and disable it in TSM parts they shift over a little but the clock remains invisible.
Time go visit that donate button now.

The clock issue is a known issue with the ROM - it defaults to the same color as the status bar so if you don't set it to a different color - or use a different status bar - you won't see it. Setting the clock color requires a reboot after btw.

ill get this fixed asap homie...not a problem...btw ty for the donation homie
bdemartino got me straighten around on the clock issue, and my cwm question for that matter. thanx bdemartino & akeller.
On bdemartino's port on the 2.1 version the indicators (wifi & cell strength) on the top notification bar were colored. Is that changeable or is that part of the TSM settings?

i believe that its changeable, but this is how the maker of the theme has it now...or so im guessing cause i didnt change anything form what he did
If u ported from vibrant ull have to check to see that the names match, I've had to rename them to get them to port correctly. That goes for 3g and service bar icons at least. I think I noticed that earlier when I threw in that data icon

I was able to fix the mms dark text on dark background issue.
I 7zipped the mms.apk out of the H57 Andromedena Tek and 7zip it back into H57 SoC.
Looks pretty cool! I had to go through and test a few once I proved it would work to find one I liked.
Are we having fun or what? I'm close to digging into bdemartino's guide on porting
themes, to figure out this stuff for myself.
______________________
I dived into the porting guide and figured out the basics. I decompiled the latest SoC from tator and bdemartino's 2.1 version. I picked the colored pngs I wanted out of the original and replaced the monochrome ones.
I found a better colored mms.apk from the crysis pack but didn't care much for the mms icon, to dark, and 7zipped a different one back into the res folder of the mms.apk.
Everything is about where I want it accept for the gps navigation icon is always there in the notification bar even if gps is turn off. I'm going to look at the png names again and see if i missed a blank gps png or something. Any ideas would be appreciated.
***I just 7zipped the 3 pngs from the original back into the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder. Not sure why this fixed it they are smaller tho.***
Thanks so much to the original creators, rel500 & Crysis21 and these guys who did the ports thefunkbot, phillup & BakedTator. A special thanks to bdemartino for the porting guide, his work on the orig SoC and all he does, and all the devs who make this possible. I think thats enough a$$ ki$$ing for now.
UPDATE : Look at OP, works with newest Heinz_57 ROM release!!!

I still get black text on dark background on the balloon thread of the mms app, with the updates. No biggie I just went backed to my hacked mms.apk. Just thought I'd let you know for others trying this theme.
