[Q] Xperia White settings

Can someone share white settings for Xperia C?
With white setting, I mean settings with white background (like in Xperia Z1)

If possible i am also waiting for it
But i don't think it's easy to port it and i did not see it anywhere on the internet. It comes with the android 4.3

Well I myself can make a white settings for Xperia C but the problem is that my phone is not rooted.
So if someone can share settings.apk from his rooted Xperia C then I can make one and share with all of you.

Hi @gagan.u20
Here's the attachements containing settings apk and odex and semcsettings.apk files.
The settings apk is odexed from Sony itself.
Let me know if you need any more files.
Sorry for double post.. some issue in adding attachment to the previous existing post.

Thanks for sharing these files mate. :good:
BTW, we can theme only deodexed apks, so can you please deodex these files and share again?
My internet is too poor to download tools to deodex odex apk.
EDIT: I also need deodexed framework-res.apk to decompile/recompile settings.apk
Thanks

You can push file in /system using root explorer on your device.
You can also push files using adb push command on pc or mac.

first of all you have to make a complete deodexed rom
coz in odex rom you cant just change an apk having odex file with it
here i think every one is trying to deodex whole rom
if you are done with it then install rom and then
go to system/app

I tried to change background of settings application and I found that it cannot be changed through settings.apk. There is another way of doing that.
Decompile "SemcGenericUxpRes.apk" present in framework folder.
then go to
res>>drawable-hdpi>> here you will find a file named "semc_bg_tile.png">> replace that file with whatever background you want
then go to
res>>drawable-hdpi-960x540>> here you will find a file named "semc_bg_tile.png">> replace that file with whatever background you want
then go to
res>>drawable-mdpi>> here you will find a file named "semc_bg_tile.png">> replace that file with whatever background you want
Recompile "SemcGenericUxpRes.apk" and place it in framework folder.
By doing this you can create Custom Backgrounds in Settings!

Another alternative is to install Xposed Framework and the Holo Themer module.

It's actually more practical to use Xposed Modules since the changes will are not permanent.
Modules like GravityBox, Xblast Tools and Android L Navigation will give you what you are looking for.

Yes the "KitKatPlatlogo.apk" can be placed in the specified destination and you will have to edit some codes in "framework.jar" after decompiling it.

I think Easteregg cannot be changed using Xposed framework.. you have to edit smali files inside framework.jar and then place the platlogo app in system and framework folders.
to do this on Xperia C you can use the tutorial whose link i have given some post above

you can't edit any files inside apk by using 7zip. to edit you have decompile the apk's.
use Advance apk tool which is made for xperia. Search on xda u will find it

That Worked
Thank you "Xenon1978" for helping me. The way was successful and I have changed the ROM NAME.... Yipeee thank you once again.

use
gingerbread/ics/jb 1.5.2
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
jb/kitkat/lolipop apktool rc3
https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads
use correct framework-res
plus any other framework eg tw-framework

Use Advanced APK Tools for decompiling the APK files and you can also use the Attached Dex Editor to edit classes.dex files.....
Advanced APK tools is specially made for Xperia devicex. (use your "framework-res.apk" to install firmware in Advanced APK Tools)
(Drag and drop classes.dex in "Quick-Baksmali.cmd" to decompile and drag and drop the output folder is "Quick-Smali.cmd" to recompile.
