Does anyone know how the Date/Time slider dials work on our Optimus 3D?
I would like to theme the ugly cyan color overtop of the slider to something else, but can't find any graphic for it in the framework-res or systemUI apks.
I'm wondering if its a small separate apk running with the android core system or something like that?
If anyone can help me find out where it is in the system, i'd be forever grateful :highfive:

I'm familiar with how to do color changes to the status bar through xml edits or colorchange.jar, but I'm looking for help editing colors in other apps that don't have the 0800001C pattern in their xmls. I understand that there may be something unique for each app, but I'm looking for some guidance on where to start.
Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to change Sportstap from the market so that the notifications have white text. Most everything else in my notification tray shows up white through the normal xml edits in framework-res.apk, but Sportstap notifications are still black.
As another example, the writer of the xUltimate script has a patch for Mixzing music player that changes the ongoing notification text color to white. I don't know what the patch does to accomplish that.
I'm sure there are other apps that have similar issues with a black status bar/notification tray.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Hey guys, id like to add some toggles into the notification bar, like TouchWIZ does or cyanogen has. So i dont have any idea where to do something like that.

.. not allowed to add inside
Is the notification bar written in java or a part of the system?
Can anyone give me a track where to start.

I'm no expert but I believe the images for the notification bar are contained within the framework-res.apk in /system/framework. As for the toggles, that my sense would be that it would take a lot of editing as your basically adding a functionality where there was none before. Why not just flash CyanogenMod or Bionix and have them without the extra work?
i like the clear standard rom of google and their updating rythm i dont want to flash a custom rom on my phone..
Hnn so i have to work it out seems to be hard
is there anyone out there that could theme the stock htc mms.apk to look like wp7? i've looked in the apk at the res files, the apps aren't dramatically different. the chat bubbles could likely be changed quickly and then you'd just have to maybe change an xml for the background to be black and the text to be white. it's more than i can accomplish myself, but it seems like someone who knows what they're doing could likely pull it off in a short amount of time...
I would be curious to see this as well, or any theme/skin for this app specifically...

A quick question for any advanced themers out there...
I am working on a custom theme for the AOSP Messaging application. I have successfully edited everything in the app EXCEPT for the holo background, which I would like to change. Specifically I want to make the Holo gradient disappear and instead have a solid color that I define. Is it possible to set the background of the APK without having to change the framework-res.apk? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks!

I was only able to change the background by changing the png in framework-res. That's the place I think it gets it from. It took me a while to theme the Mms.apk the way I wanted to. That was before the developers for CM made it more themer friendly in recent builds. I changed a lot of stuff around in layouts that's now located all in colors.xml.
Does anyone know how to change the notification bar colour from black to white?
Do you mean the regular emui notification bar? It adapts to the background image you set, so just set a brighter image or edit your current background to include a white bar at the top, though that would look a bit ugly.
If you mean the background when you pull the notification bar down, then you should have a look at custom emui themes, or even make your own somehow.
No i meant the actual expanded notification bar as the black doesn't work well with most apps and huawei uses black font as well when displaying notifs. I only think huawei themes work with stock launcher? And i use nova... Thanks anyway
I think the themes work everywhere, no matter what launcher (at least the notification bar part should). Not all themes include a modified notification bar though, so I think you could try one that definitely does change the notification bar and see it works for you in Nova launcher as well.
I'm attaching a theme I know for sure features a different notification bar for you to try. I also know it's terribly ugly but it's just for testing purposes, once you confirm that it does change the notification bar color for you, we could start disassembling the theme to only take out the interesting parts and adapt them to a different theme after changing the image from greenish to something more white-ish
PS. I had to change the extension to .zip for the board to accept the attachment, please change it to .hwt after you download it and move it into "/sdcard/HWThemes" so the theme manager can find it.
