I have tried to make the stock lockscreen on the Z1 transparent. I thought it may be as easy as changing the default wallpaper in the XperiaLockScreen.apk to a transparent .png however it seems that the app will only let you choose a .jpg (Which we know does not support transparency)
So I decompiled the app to see the xml files but I cant find anywhere where it forces the background to be a .jpg.
I tried editing a few hex colour choices to make the first 2 digits from 00 to FF to force 100% transparency but nothing changed.
Can anyone point me in the right directions please.
Attached is the .apk and the framework-res

Did you manage to do that? I have tried mods from older Xperia phones (whose APK name is UxpNxtLockScreen.apk) and it didn't work.

I'd like to change the background of system app and notification area with Transparency...
For system app like phone, contacts, setting...
We can change the background as we change semc_bg.png and semc_general_bg.png in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.
But NO Transparency~~!!!!
For notification area, I tried to change shade_bg.png in SystemUI.apk But Nothing changed.
Could you somebody helpl me what xml and attribute I should modify for this two transparency~~??
All the files are in framework-res.apk/res only edit framework apk for appearance.
Its usually named notification some thing something.png so look around the res files.
By the way what rom are you using? If its miui its simple =)

Is there a way to change the colors of the wifi/data, phone signal and battery icons in the status bar? I'm currently using weapon 2.4, so I'm rooted and was wondering if it might be a simple file edit to do so. If there is an app that lets you do that, I haven't found it yet but I would love to know how they work so I can potentially assign each icon a different custom color. Thanks in advance for any help.
--UPDATE--
ok so from what i've read so far it looks like i'm going to be editing some lines in the classes.dex which i extracted from the services.jar file in the framework folder. when I open up the classes.dex with baksmali i cannot find the \com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali file .. not just in that folder but anywhere within the expanded classes.dex archive. Is StatusBarIcon.smali where I'll be able to change the color of the icons in the notification bar or am I completely off track here?
You want to change the color of the icons? They are png files in the SystemUI.apk, so either pull them out and edit them in some photo software, find icons you like and add them, use a theme, or use UOT Kitchen.
do you have the "Theme Chooser" app on your phone?
If so, you might want to check out some themes and install one of those
or use Metamorph or a zip application to make your own
and remember, always backup your rom
Just use NinjaMorph, and edit SystemUI.apk... If you're looking to make them green, check my thread in the Themes section.

I am new to theming. I extracted some apks from the ICS OTA and tried to change the gray colors in options menu (gri.png attachment) and calculator background. However, I couldn't find which png to change or if I need to change something else.
Can you please explain how to change these colors? Thanks! I really need this before getting crazier
Hi everybody,
I try to change the background colour of the list menu:
My reserach in the internet point to framework-res.apk
color.xml
/res/values/style.xml
and so on.
These files are not available on the G3, so I really have no clue which xml is responsible for the background colour of the menue list.
Does anybody have a hint?
Cheers

i believe you can find them @ twframework-res.apk
If you are using the ADW launcher, i think you may have to mod the actual launcher apk. Not sure since i have never themed myself
its not an XML, but
menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png
is responsible
I was working on a new Windows phone ROM project.Everything got correctly,all launchers,icons,etc.The last thing is change settings mans android to windows phone settings.
How to do that?
You theme the settings.
Decompile it and theme the images, and the colours in the colors.xml

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry,but i dont know how to theme settings apk
You'll have to decompile your settings and then theme it as in colour and modify the images to make it look like the windows phones settings
Ok i decompiled..Now where to go to change colours and modify images?
Colours is located in res/values/colors.xml and images are in /res and look in drawable folders.
