Hi everyone. Today I was messing with the stock live wallpaper, both the Z4 one (with flat colors) and the regular one, and I realized that sometimes the one that changes colors when you interact with it can create some pretty beautifu shades. Is there any way to mod the apk so I can manually set a color using RGB values or something like that, or a modded apk that allows more colors? I really like certain shades between green and blue on the regular one and the shade between white and blue on the Z4 one, but none of them allow me to stay on that color.
From my limited experience in apk modding I think it's probably some value in a file inside the apk that you can edit, so for example you can set one of the stock colors to a different one, but I haven't tried anything yet. If anyone could tell me exactly how to change it, tell me if there is a modded apk, or make a modded apk, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Use a program to alter the theme. I forget the name of it, just Google it. Open the theme with the app and make the adjustment.
you can use ui tweaker: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml
fantastic freeware app that works well. i'm using wm6.1 and it's flawless. there are 4 tabs to choose from for changing the colors. for your needs, i would think that the tab "system colors" or something like that will change the color of the bar you want. just remember that except for the today colors, you would have to peform a soft reset to enable the changes. also, you would need to practice a little to find out that the bar you're tweaking / changing colors is indeed the one you want. i often made mistakes in changing the notification bars and ended up changing the color of other areas.
cheers
I just installed the MIUI Gingerbread ROM and have been playing around with it. It started out that the Signal and 3g icons were white and the all of a sudden changed to green. Green does not go with the theme I am trying to create and can't figure out what changed to make them go green. Any know how I can get them blue or back to white.
They change green when you have a direct connection to Google's servers. It's a Gingerbread feature.
If you're creating a theme, I assume you're familiar with the MIUI theme system. The icons you need to change are in the SystemUI apk (com.android.systemui). You need to change the stat_sys_data_ files, the stat_sys_signal_ files and the stat_sys_wifi_signal_ files to whatever colors will match your theme.
If you just want the stock icons to be a different color, either use photoshop or gimp to adjust the colors.
If you want them to stay white, just copy over all the "fully" pngs with the corresponding file without "fully" in the file name.
Thanks a lot I finally was able to get them to blue to match everything else!
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
It really isn't necessary to have a full theme support in these AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs because most of the skins made for them suck major ass anyway.
All you need is one single option that will change the holo blue color across the system into another color. This includes all the status icons, the separator line as well as the dark background tint.
but instead, we have these skins that change some of these colors but not others, or they also apply a stupid tint to icons and stuff. So necessary!
See the attached image? That is ALL I need, I just opened it in Photoshop and adjusted its HUE. But instead, there are all these custom options to change the color of this, change the color of that... You can't just change the color of one element and not the others because then they won't match!
Hi
I have an S8 and have installed the black graffiti theme from the samsung store, in order to set the system menus to a look I am happy with. This is a black/white/grey colour scheme.
It works well enough, but the colours on the sliders in the system settings are bright (white) when set to "off" and grey when set to "on". I would like to have them coloured the other way.
What is the best way to modify this? I don't really want to trawl through all the themes on line.
