Hey all, question for ya,
been messing around with the notification pull down. Got it just the way I want it, except for when downloading from the market I get black on black text. Hard to read. really no big deal but it is bugging the heck out of me. Read tons of posts/sites where people have had the same prob. on various phones/roms but can't find a solution.
Anyone know what to change or do???
Here is a pic for clarification.
Thanks Nycorduroy
There is a post a few pages back about modding the xmls.
Do a search in the theme thread for "xml edit"
phim, gets pretty in depth, easier way is to use apk manager, decompile the apk, modify the xml, recompile the apk. DO NOT PUSH THE RECOMPILED FRAMEWORK! pushing a recompiled frame work will give you endless fc's
open the new compiled framework with 7zip and drag your newly compiled xmls into your good framework. then push that one.
Dont forget to do a back up first!
If you dont want to edit the xmls, feel free to grab one of my themes and pull them out.
Thanks for the quick response!! Which xml files am I looking to edit?? they are in the framework file I assume. Any other info you have is appreciated. Right now it looks like it is just when downloading files to phone. After download all is good and in white. thanks again
Nycorduroy
ps i love this android community!! Freedom!!!!
Cant remember exactly which one it was, sorry.
i think status_bar or status_bar_expanded.

You need to edit the status_bar and status_bar_latest_event.xmls from framework-res/res/layout
Sweet. I will make an attempt. Worse case I might take you up on the offer bad4u6669. Thanks for the generosity.

The easiest way for you to do it is just grab the xml files that have already been edited from one of the other themes and plug them into your phone...
How do we know which xml is the right one to apply? And where?
@ ny - no worries, i like to help out any way i can, so I dont put a major lockdown on most stuff i have made
@ hack - yeah but then you dont learn anything by modding and pushing bad files then having to sbf and start ALL OVER!!! haha
@jr hack said it 4 posts up...
Currently at work by chance could any1 post a xml or even pm me and ill use ninjamorph to apply
Hello everyone,
I recently started working at my own custom theme which will be mainly flat black with white icons and android green highlights. I've shown it to a couple of friends and they really quite like it. I've updated every single image in the Framework-res.apk so it really is a complete revamp.
Now, I also want to edit some of the applications that I installed to match the theming (for example Handcent SMS and Winamp). I managed to pull the apk files from my phone, decompile them, edit the images and rebuilding them. But I can't seem to manage to push them back to my phone with succes because they get "uninstalled" when I push the files back to overwrite the originals (they are removed from the app drawer).
I wonder if anyone of you knows why and if it's solveable, I really like Winamp and Handcent SMS.
Cheers in advance!
Do you resign the app ?? use apk manager ??
I am not that clever to do that stuff, but it sounds like when you mod widget locker and you dont sign the apk file, if i am completely wrong sorry just trying to help

I did not resign the app, I didn't even know such thing excisted. I'm not that smart myself, I'm just a stupid designer knowing how to photoshop really well But other than that I just followed some tutorials.
If you could explain to me how to resign an app that would be of great help. Thanks!
Search for widget locker mods and in that post at the top there is a piece of kit called apk manager, follow the instructions and it will resign your apk and allow it to be used

thats the link with the apk manager in the thread
Yup it seems it worked guys. APK Manager is awesome, makes it all so much easier and faster
Thanks for helping me out!

You'll be the first one to know when the theme is finished. I'm making quick progress now. I'm gonna edit some more apps that I frequently use. Winamp is almost fully customized. I'm not quite sure how to pack everything up into an easy installer for you guys to use. But by that time I will ask for help again, I'm sure there will be loads of people who will teach me how to do that when they see the final product.

Normal its run on 2.1 x10i. I dont have test it on a other device.

You changed very few things from my theme... A link to it or mentioning my name would be nice... Even the theme's name is similar... :/
I don't want to discourage you from theming but I spent a lot of time making all of those icons.
I updated mine recently too, and will continue to. Check my sig...

I wouldn't mind if you use all of the buttons & status bar background, or just certain icons in the status bar, or just the dialer,etc. using pieces from other themes is how we all get started.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

thought id try help.. been a while since ive used 2.1 though! lol (this was like the early 2.1 update we first got before all the roms came out)
1) i reckon the menu button background thing is most likely lurking in framework-res.apk in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
2) the background from the launcher is probably in launcher.apk somewhere although i used to use adw launcher so never really looked into that.
3) as for mediascape background it should be in mediascape.apk although im sure theres some background in there maybe from playlist section or something else where theres a separate background file. cant remember in which apk ul find it but i think it was along the lines of the timescape or framework-res apk's!
some help i am lol sorry.. but if ya wanna look at the old work i had and maybe figure something out then feel free to do so. link should be in signature below if needed!
hope it helps!! good luck
I've been trying to mess with this for a while and cant figure it out...
If I take a random theme, and decompile it, then decompile the shared.m10 file, how do you figure out which picture represents what?
Do you need to just skim thru the texture files till you find what you think is the file you want to replace? Does anyone know which files represent, say the bottom dock bar and components?
I would hate to have to play the guessing game, but I guess I'll have to if that's necessary. I'd assume someone would know the file names of the normal files that are themed though...
Any guidance would be appreciated! I can find guides about what to do, but I have no idea how to figure out what files are what, except for guessing..

well bro after u decompile the fusion file look the same on ur fone as well as u scroll images srch the same on fone and soon u'll b able to co-relate all images.like u can c dock, clock, friends stream etc...apply the theme on fone and the jst read...little tiring bt once done its done.....
It will be a guessing game. The worst part about M10 tools is the fact the friking file names are never the same if you decompile more than once
At leas the order is the same... so you're just gonna have to get a 6th sense and remember where the texture you want to modify lives :/
Ah man... That's what I was afraid of hearing I've spent a good hour going through this theme and cannot find the phone icon.. Very frustrating to say the least..
Thanks for the responses guys.

I've spent about three hours and gone through 4 different themes multiple times and cannot find the phone icon in any theme....can anyone tell me if I'm missing something?

Well apparently it doesn't matter I can't find the phone image file, bc I cant even get the skin to install once I zip it back up with m10tools....
Am I doing something wrong...
First I pulled the installed skin from my phone..I used m10tools to decompile and decode the images..found the pictures I want to change, changed them, went back to start and hit save...Then placed the file in data/app, rebooted, but the theme doesn't show under skins?
Which phone icon are you looking for exactly ?

Hello all I currently have galaxy s3 on verizon. I have it almost all themed up to blackNbold as I like but would like to get 2 apps themed to match. Both yahoos messenger and mail. Also if possible on messenger not only would I like it inverted but if possible up the font by one or 2 sizes. im legally blind so I have a hard time trying to edit xml's or i'd try it myself. I been using androids a long time but just cant seem to edit myself.
