nope with the 7zip method (read up on it) you dont need that.. you just swap .png right in the .apk(s)

it is the stock rom\

and i succesfully did the same thing in the sgs ii systeui (and those icons are in there since i can see them).. however, maybe you are correct in that there are another copy in the .odex.. but it would be strange..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
It's more than likely that it's loading files from the odex. Can try deleting that but you might lose status bar lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lgkahn:
thanks cannot delete the .odex (systemui or framework etc) on a stock rom.. the phone wont boot. (i think) although i have a cwm backup.

faithfully waiting for the first 1% battery mod for stock one.. (if it combines the .odex into the .apk) for stock then i can put my own icons in on top and then i can delete the .odex

Hey Shane, I need some help, this image will be the death of me :(

Ive stumbled on this image on the et4g and now I really cant find where the image is, and what the name may be. I always have a problem with the image name/location of the puldown notification background in the image below, its solid black and I need to make it transparent. Ive looked in drawable-xhdpi in systemUI, with no luck. THANKS MAN.

Oh +1 for this to be a sticky since this will help all carriers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
Wow, I had never looked at the files yet on this phone. I've been trying to work on some AOSP themes with my Nexus S. I got the framework-res and twframework-res to decompile, but can't get the systemui to decompile. If you can give me some help on getting the systemui to decompile, I'll look for it.

Edit: Nevermind, got it.

Edit 2: I have not tried this, but taking an "educated guess" I would look at this in the values/drawables.xml:

<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">#ff000000</item>

If you want to change that to an image can change that to:

<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">@drawable/pulldown_bg</item>

then make an image named pulldown_bg and put it in the drawable-xhdpi folder.

Or (This is what make's me think this is right)

Look at the drawable/status_bar_expanded.xml and find:

android:background="@drawable/notification_header_bg"

and change that to:

android:background="@drawable/pulldown_bg"

making the image as above.

If it's not this then the other possibility I found was "notification_tracking_bg" which the color is called for in the drawables.xml and is linked in the status_bar_tracking.xml

Let me know if either works.

this is an aapt error. make sure you are using the one from the latest SDK (released late 2011).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
that was going to be my next guess. sorry, didn't see your log there. anyway, that's not the best of ways to do it, though. i can get it to compile without doing all of that. you just need the right combination of apktool.jar files. NunHugger has posted his package and it works flawlessly for framework-res... much easier than using apk manager, too. wayyy easier. he deserves many thanks for his package.

Lockscreen Tweaks (question)

Hey, sorry if this was touched on, but I did read the whole thread and then ran a search.

I'm wondering how I might change the text of the Lockscreen, specifically the clock and date. I want to remove the outline from clock, change the color of date, and remove the drop shadow of all of the text.

In addition, is there a way to use custom icons on the lock screen?

I love the ripple lock, but its lack of customization options stinks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
Someone else that has done this might be able to give you a better answer but, if it can be done via xml it will be in the layout xml's in the framework-res.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trevoryour:
I'm hoping someone can help me out as i'm fairly inexperienced with android development and have never had a samsung device before.

Basically I wanted to make my device look as much like the Gnex as possible and first thing on my list is to turn the softkeys back on. I was successful in reenabling the softkeys but they are not in the right order and the images are not stock images. Fixing the images should be trivial since it just involves replacing the png files in the systemui.apk file but even after I replace the images in the file they still show as the old images. I extracted every png from the file, thinking that maybe they are in more than one spot but I can only find them in the drawable-sw800dp-xhdpi folder.

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong or what the correct way is to re-order these so they are in the same layout as the Nexus?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
The alphabet scroll line on the right.. where can I find it??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
change Clock and Date, lockscreen

well, i know that the clock are just images in framework-res in the drawable-xhdpi folder. Shane is prob right in regards to the date in layout.xml of that same file.

give me a second and i'll find the date colors. i found where they're called in but there wasn't any type of identifier for the text color :confused:

edit: alright, it took a lot of hunting around to figure this out haha looks like Shane was correct after all.

res\layout-sw360dp\keyguard_circlelock_clockwidget.xml

change (line 21)

<TextView android:textSize="20.0dip" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="#fff6f7c9" android:gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/zzz_date_month" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="24.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="2.0dip" android:shadowColor="#aa000000" android:shadowDy="2.0" android:shadowRadius="1.0" />

also, the AM/PM color, i think that is line 18 of this same file as android:textColor="#fff8f8f8"

edit: and the shadow can be found with this AM/PM line for it, respectively. for this one, you'll need to change shadowDx and shadowDy, as well as radius to 0.0. that'll get rid of shadows

edit: this post has been updated with the correct file location for making these changes. it does work now

Experience: Other than flashing zips, I'm a noob

When you pull down the notification menu, it shows the time, date, and day of the week at the top. Currently, I have everything themed ICS blue. How would I go about changing the color of just that particular info to white, and leaving my toggles, quick settings icon, etc. as they are?
