I checked colors.xml first, no.

What i mean by specified in the layout xml is that the color used for the am/pm text is ONLY specified in timpicker.xml (which is in the layout folder within framework-res). timepicker.xml references a global color for the am/pm text, thus there are only two ways I know of to change the color used for am/pm text in the timepicker dialog:

1. edit the global color reference (this is undesirable because it will affect every other place this color is used).

2. edit the reference in timepicker.xml (this is preferred, but I can't figure out how to get this working with theme chooser themes).

Here is the line in timepicker.xml (note: I changed the color reference to "white" it used to be something like primary_lite_.....):

<Button android:textColor="@android:color/white" android:id="@id/amPm" android:paddingLeft="20.0dip" android:paddingRight="20.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="43.0dip" style="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Got it. Add a custom hex color (white is ffffffff) into theme chooser colors.xml. Then where it has the color reference replace it with "@color/custom" which localizes it into your apk :)
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
I've installed the AOSP ICS status bar on a Sense 3.6 ROM. It looks good, and almost completely works.

My issue is with the 4g icons. I took a look at the SystemUI.apk and the 4g icons are in there. My question is how do I get the SystemUI to make the correct call to display these icons?

I know the HTC SystemUI makes the correct calls to these images, so would taking a look at an HTC one help?

From what I can tell about ICS AOSP status bars, it doesn't display signal specifically for 4G, but rather it only has the blue (active) and grey (inactive) 4g icon where the 3g icon used to be.
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
I got that part. What I am having issues with is that when I include timepicker.xml in the theme, all apps that use the time picker force close when I attempt to set a time or date. I think the ids are not mapping correctly, but I'm not sure how to get it working.

New question:

Where can I find the color for the secondary text on the power menu (e.g. Sound is On, Airplane mode is Off, etc)?

I have searched and searched, but can't find the reference.

I need to make the dark gray text lighter:
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
could you post the FC log? as for the second thing I have no idea. But maybe you can find the strings end delete them? The second line is dumb anyway since the icons change when you change from the menu.

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
The skin you're using I hacked. I put the m10 from our 3.0 fusion into the skin apk. Unfortunately we can't get to the images in 3.6 until a new m10 tools drops, so no large music widget :(

It's in clock3dwidgetapk/assets/4x1clockm10 or something like that, BUT, again, we can't get to the images, or at least every way I tried failed.
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
I've still not been able to find a reference for the secondary text on the CM7 power menu (e.g. Sound is On, Airplane mode is Off, etc)

I need to make the dark gray text lighter:

Someone must know where this text and its color is referenced. Please share.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Did you look in strings?
[HTC EVO 3D] Dunc001:
OK, so I am trying to find the string ID for 'Show launch bar shortcuts' which is the string used in Sense 4.0 in Personalise for showing or hiding the four shortcuts on the lockscreen. I have decompiled framework-res, framework-htc-res, settings, rosie, settingsprovider, idlescreen_base, idlescreen_shortcuts, com.htc.resources, systemui and searched all files in every decompiled apk but that exact string as it shows on screen is not found anywhere! Can anyone suggest anywhere else I might start looking? BTW, just tried to decompile fusion.apk but after decompiling I have nothing but a load of theme folders with shared.m10 in them - no smali, no res, no xml :(
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Try htc lockscreen apk? Usually that stuff in the personalized menu is in rosie. Also, fusion doesn't have any of that stuff decompiled afaik.
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
I have found the text references in strings, but I cannot find where the text is getting its formatting, specifically color.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Homepersonalize.apk also, it seems like they split Rosie in two.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Probably framework. Seriously just delete the text reference. It'll look cleaner.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Rage.
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
But then there is still blank space under the main text...
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I think you're wrong. If you delete the whole line in its xml (not strings) it would remove the lines existence. Would start and end with <textview ..... /textview> honestly if I knew the color reference I would tell you.
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
That's just it, there is no reference to the secondary power menu text strings in any of the layout xml files.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
In what apk again? I forgot. Also I thought you said you found them?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Is that aosp or sense? If sense it's in com.htc.resources
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
AOSP, CM7
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Probably in framework res then.
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
I've searched the entire thing
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Have you changed text color to test? Also I'm not real familiar with cm7. Look in settings also. And maybe policy jar
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
Ya, I've played around with the text colors in the colors.xml, no go.

I will check out settings and policy
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Check res/ colors, even look in res/ drawables also res/ values/ color.xml and drawable.xml. also the layout xmls
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
I've checked every single file in framework-res.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your help
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
This is for the reboot menu right?
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
Correct

I was able to change the color for the primary text (Silent Mode, Airplane mode, etc), but not the secondary text (Sound is On, Airplane mode is Off, etc)
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Really text color is easier to find in aosp then sense. Do you know where that code is written? Is it in the policy jar or is there a system app for it?
[HTC EVO 3D] creeve4:
I'm not sure where the code is. I'm not good with smali

ok duce. Settings from your Rom decompiles fine. recompiling takes a very long time for some reason. here is a set up i put together for you. put the 1.apk and 2.apk in whatever folder your apktool resources go

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Hopefully I'll get some comp time tonight. You're awesome. What was the change needed? I'm baffled.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Well your using a scripted tool and I don't know exactly what version of apktool you have. Also i put the right resources in the zip. That was probably it
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
So Im not what sure why people are getting errors decompiling settings with scripted tools. Duce was able to decompile using straight apktool. Maybe ill get with Tommy and see if we can find the bug.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
There's an issue with straight apktool maybe you can help with. The modded apks work ONLY if flashed over, not from a full wipe. I did copy in the meta inf from the original apks. And as an apktool n00b, maybe I did something wrong. And oddly, on my work box, I updated the sdk to 19, used the most recent files you gave me into the "other" folder, and was able to de/recomp WITHOUT errors. Not sure if it's specific to using apkmanager vs apkmultitool? Any thoughts?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
I think its time duce! Take the jump, apktool in a cmd line is much easier. You can be your own apkmanager no more middle management. :)

from my inbREDed evo3d
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Reread my post. I did settings and mail last night with straight apktool. Used original meta inf. Both apks were non existent in the os from a clean install. I then got apkmanager to finally de/recomp without errors, and those apks worked. Probably something I did wrong so I'm infinitely curious what the issue is.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Ahh I should have read a little more, sorry bout that.

That's odd they didn't show up at all. Did you only try original Sig or did you also try resigning? Were you able to push the apks to system and they worked?

[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Duce do you mean when you compile your Rom in the kitchen? Seriously for performance reasons i wouldn't theme your Rom to much. I really think that sometimes themes may slow the Rom down. Maybe offer an expansion pack so to speak
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Flashover worked. After compiled I 7zipped in the meta inf folder. Not sure if I did something wrong or what.

Bah. Our rom is tits. Wasn't referencing the kitchen whatsoever. Crazy talk. Most of what we do is change pngs. No way that slows anything down. Heck we haven't even done some of the speed mods. Try it out you hater :p
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Well you know i made my rep as a themer so much love there. I just noticed when i went crazy and made everything trans and changed all pngs I would notice a little more lag
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
I agree that over themeing can have a negative effect on performance. Just like a bad 9 can affect battery performance. I also think some of it is mental though, especially when it comes to transparency. A lack of an image will give you the idea that something isn't moving like it should.

[HTC EVO 3D] tommytomatoe:
Fern does have a point though. When you start to make a bunch pngs transparent it does put a little extra workload on the rendering.

Maybe not so noticeable on newer hardware but on the EVO og and dinc days, you can definitely tell.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rainbowbright081:
oh gawd.. another noob..

Ok, I'm not so much of a noob, as I am more of an amateur themer ...

But Fernando sor told me to come here and ask my question and maybe you could help better than he...

To the question: I have attached a screenshot of my problem... the red text is way too big and not supposed to be red, they are supposed to be white. I have looked in just about everything i could but red wasnt something i did, nor did i make any xml edits.

Is it an xml that i need to find and fix or?

Thanks

I'm using an HTC Sensation, Elegancia 3.6 , blueness v3/modded pngs.
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
What DID you do exactly? The text color won't change without either an xml or smali edit. And if all the large red text were white, you wouldn't be able to read the text hint in the box up top. The "What's on your mind"

As for the text size that could certainly be a rogue 9png, but again without an xml edit the text size shouldn't change

I took the blueness v3 mod from the elegancia theme thread, decoded the m10, changed pngs (the only color i changed anything to was purple) then encoded the m10, then decompiled the apk and changed the pngs to purple (that were blue) no xml/smali edits... perhaps its where i had to take the zip apart and add the m10 file to fusion.apk and create ChineseNewYear.apk for fusion to resource from.

The XML that I believe handles that is in framework-res under layout/alert_dialog_holo.xml and there a couple instances of holo_blue_light. But I haven't tried changing that one myself yet as I was only trying to get rid of the htc green and match that same ics blue. :p

I have a suggestion for you guys if you are willing to consider it...

the biggest problem i find is associating the actual image file to where it belongs... as in people have no idea which file to change what

if i want to change the look or color of say a popup dialog box where and which file do i look at

thats the biggest problem for me and i would love it if someone knowledgeable enough can make that guide
[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
It depends if ur working with sense or aosp and usually the colors are in the layout files or are in the values/color or values/drawable files. Id have to look over the folders and files to figure out what changes what. As for images all u have to do is match up the names of the images and copy and paste them over as long as u resize the pngs to the right size.
