[GUIDE] How to change clock color

This is just a guide, you will have to make some batch files to do all the stuff because it is too much stuff just to write it on console.
Guide:
1º Pull framework and apps
2º Deodex framework (all .jar files in framework folder that have an .odex file)
- get classes.dex and insert it in respective .jar file
3º change color (described below)
4º Deodex apps (all .apk files that have an .odex file)
- get classes.dex and insert it in respective .apk file
5º push the new .jar files and delete the old .odex files
6º push the new .apk files and delete the old .odex files
7º use dexopt-wrapper to odex all new .jar files (the deoxpt-wraper is somewhere in the xda forum)
8º use dexopt-wrapper to odex all new .apk files (sometimes the phone restarts during this step)
it's done.
But you must delete all classes.dex, because its not need after odex.
And another thing you must do, is zipalign all .jar and .apk (i didn't do this)
e.g. of deodex a file:
Code:
@java -jar "\Program Files\AndroidSDK\tools\baksmali.jar" -x core.odex -o core-out
@java -Xmx512M -jar "\Program Files\AndroidSDK\tools\smali.jar" core-out -o classes.dex
second e.g. (some files have dependencies like this one)
Code:
@java -jar "\Program Files\AndroidSDK\tools\baksmali.jar" -c :semc_emailif.odex -x semc_contentmanagerif.odex -o semc_contentmanagerif-out
@java -Xmx512M -jar "\Program Files\AndroidSDK\tools\smali.jar" semc_contentmanagerif-out -o classes.dex
to change the color:
get folder of services.odex with baksmali, modify \com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali
it isn't the same line of normal method to non-odex roms
lines:
Code:
.line 53
const v6, -0x33FFFFFF [U][B]<- 33 is transparency, and FFFFFF is black (i think its the inverse of normal RGB) [/B][/U]
invoke-virtual {v4, v6}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextColor(I)V
deoxpt-wrapper
e.g. of usage:
Code:
@adb shell dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/core.jar /system/framework/core.odex
i already made this some months ago, and i dont remember everything (i was waiting for 2.1 to release this)
but i think its everything... if i remember something i will post next week, and if i have time, i will make a nice tutorial, but just next week.
REMEMBER: MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE! AND I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU DO WITH YOUR PHONE
PS: sorry for my f*cking bad english

Thank you for this guide.

If you remove the - in front of the number for colour then you can use a regular HTML colour code.

I can not find
Code:
.line 53
const v6, -0x33FFFFFF <- 33 is transparency, and FFFFFF is black (i think its the inverse of normal RGB)
invoke-virtual {v4, v6}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextColor(I)V

[GUIDE]Transparent theme for all Rom :)

Im going to show you result after 1 week
I did not build a complete theme, just transparent effect. And you can see a live wallpaper moving under an APP
Video Demo 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2aQHBDZUqw&feature=youtu.be
It's great if i have Koi Live wallpaper
Video Demo2( no Dim , 100%transparent))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvf7OIfbLno&feature=youtu.be

Here The GUIDE make ~ 70% rom transparent( other 30% is inside each apk)
Prepare: notepad++ +framework-res.apk + twframework-res.apk + APK Multi Tools(APK Manager)
Step1: Modify system theme
Decompile framework-res.apk
Open .../res/value/style.xml with Notepad++
In <style name="Theme"> tag, find and edit like this
Code:
<item name="colorBackground">@[COLOR="Blue"][B]color/transparent[/B][/COLOR]</item>
<item name="windowBackground">@[COLOR="blue"][B]color/transparent[/B][/COLOR]</item>
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
In <style name="Theme.NoTitleBar" parent="@style/Theme"> tag, edit like this
Code:
<item name="windowBackground">@[COLOR="blue"]color/transparent[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
If you get keyboard bug(bug when use live wallpaper)remove it and add
Code:
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">false</item>
In <style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme"> tag, edit like this
Code:
<item name="colorBackground">@color/black</item>
<item name="windowBackground">@[COLOR="blue"]color/transparent[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
In <style name="Theme.Light" parent="@style/Theme"> tag, add
Code:
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">false</item>
In <style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme"> tag, add
Code:
<item name="windowBackground">@[COLOR="Blue"]color/transparent[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
go to .../res/drawable-ldpi/ and modify tab_forcus, tab_selected, tab_press, tab_unselected, all tab_***_bar_*** remember carefully edit 9path PNG
Recompile framework-res.apk
*Note:color/transparent is 100% transparent
if you decide another color, go to ..../res/value/color.xml , add another color you like
Code:
<color name="what_ever">#aarrbbgg</color>
aarrbbgg= alpha+red+blue+green in hex
with aa: 100% transparent=00
50% =7f
0% =ff
Windows caculator can change decimal to hexadecimal
Step 2: Modify touchwiz theme
Decompile twframework-res.apk
Go to .../res/drawable-ldpi/
Edit anything that you want to be transparent(should edit tw_tab_focused,tw_tab_focused_ss,tw_tab_pressed,tw_tab_pressed_ss,tw_tab_selected,tw_tab_selected_ss,tw_tab_unselected,tw_tab_unselected_ss, and all tw_tab_***_bar_***.
Recompile twframework-res.apk
Step 3 Put files into phone, require root for quick test
Use adb
Code:
adb push [[B]filename with extension[/B]] /sdcard/
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/[[B]filename with extension[/B]] /system/framework/
start
And to build complete theme you need mod some apk like DialerTabActivity,MMS,Phone,SystemUI ..v..v..
