[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jimbush3:
I'm stuck, I've edited my framework-res.apk to use a background images most screens rather than simply colors. I changed <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item> (which references the color black) under <style name="Theme"> to point to an image at @drawable/menu_bg. Example below:

For the very most part this has been a success, except for the alarms screen. My alarm screen became this:

If I return that value to black, everything works fine, white text displaying alarm times and days, etc. I went into DeskClockGoogle.apk and do some xml edits to set the black background behind the alarm on/off indicators to transparent, but the area to the right of that which displays the alarm times has no background setting to edit, and any attempts I make to add one ends up in a force closing alarms screen.

The two xmls responsible for this section of the screen are layout/alarm_clock and layout/alarm_time. Code from both is posted below:

alarm_clock.xml - the code in blue calls the list of alarms

alarm_time.xml - displays alarm on/off indicators and alarm times, am/pm, label, days. Once again, blue code is area in question.

Any help would be appreciated.
