Firstly, what a great post! Thanks so much for all the work put into this collection of mods for touchwiz!

Ive made use of a few of the tuts here and plan on using more in the future. ive run into an issue i need help with.

Member Jirv311 asked for help a few posts back:

shane6374 kindly answered:

I need to make the notification item pressed/focused/ and normal background color/image transparent.

My issue is that when i go to systemui/res/values/drawables.xml, i see:

<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#00000000</item>

Is this the normal or focused notification item background?

Also the color #00000000 should already be transparent right? It was already like that.

I remember from GB that they used to be 9.png images, am i even looking in the right apk?

Again, what im looking for is, as Jirv311 put it, the pressed/focused/normal background color/image for ongoing/normal notifications to be transparent.

The default color is black, when pressed its blue. Is this an image or a color? I can't seem to find them.

Thanks in advance! Oh, BTW, its JB 412 stock tw rom for SG3 d2mtr variant. I think im the first here from carrier MetroPCS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Evewon:
The pressed color with be an XML edit. It is in systemui/res/layout/expanded_status_bar.xml I'm not 100% I can check for sure when I get to a computer

Ok my bad, its in SystemUI.apk res/values/drawables.xml last line, line 65

For more info on transparent pull down check this great thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2078585

Wow! Thanks much for the quickness!

Im gonna work on it now. :highfive:

Thanks also for the link!

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

ok so the pressed color worked great. i still need help finding the other states of the notification. this is whats in my res/values/drawables.xml file:

<item type="drawable" name="notification_number_text_color">#ffffffff</item>
<item type="drawable" name="ticker_background_color">#ff1d1d1d</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff1e1e1e</item>

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_recents_app_thumbnail_background">#88000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_notification_row_background_color">[B]#00000000[/B]</item>
<item type="drawable" name="recents_callout_line">#99ffffff</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_legacy_color">[B]#00000000[/B]</item>
<item type="drawable" name="intruder_bg_pressed">#ff33b5e5</item>
<item type="drawable" name="system_bar_background">[B]#00000000[/B]</item>
<item type="drawable" name="notification_icon_area_smoke">#3f000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="tw_notification_background_null">#00000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="tw_notification_background_pressed">#ff3d95da</item>
</resources>

as you can see, i changed a few of the colors to #00000000 and no transparency yet. im going to look into the res/layout/expanded_status_bar.xml as well.

any help is appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Evewon:
To get your pulldown transparent, refer to the link I gave you, but you'll want to make the edits to res/layout/tw_expanded_status_bar.xml, most edits when theming touchwiz, will be to xmls with the name tw_blah_blah.xml .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arocker:

that did the trick.

This should be simple, just can't narrow it down. Which png or 9.png is the blue color when selecting a option when using the menue button; i.e. on the home screen of launcher, you hit menue button then select settings... The stock blue color when you make your selection. Ought to be some kind of "pressed" png.

Searched but didn't see anything.

Assuming it's in framework.

Hi, swift! I posted a reply in my thread. Basically, move the android:visibility="gone" to the line below the one I mention originally (so one below the id/brightness_controller) Then experiment with the dip and one should decrease the size of the spacer.

You can try going in to res/values/styles.xml and finding the height of the scroll cart. If the height of the scroll cart (I think it's like 100 or 120) is for example 100, then change the height (red) here...

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/scrollCart" android:layout_width="fill_parent" [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_height="wrap_content[/COLOR]">

...to something something slightly less than the height of the scroll cart...say 80 or 90.

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/scrollCart" android:layout_width="fill_parent" [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_height="90.0 dip"[/COLOR]">

If your toggles get squished, then you can change the height of the scroll cart in styles.xml to something slightly larger.

I have done this before, but I am going by memory right now. If you can't get what you want I will look at it when I get home.

Edit:

You can see where I did it here.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

It is a PNG in xhdpi. I think it is a "tw_scrubber_track..." if I remember correctly.

Again, going by memory...will look when I get home if you don't find it before then.

Nope, I was wrong. These are the files:

A few changes I just cant find, please help!

I need some help guys..

After theming almost 99% of all the Samsung system apks, I am stuck.

I am trying to change all blue images/ text, well eveything that is blue to green for all apks, these are the 3 that are driving me crazy and I just cant seem to find.

1. Is in the ClockPackage.apk

I cant find the xml that controls the blue color of the selected text above.

2. Next is when you crop a picture, I have looked all through SecGallery2.apk and SamsungCamera.apk

I cant find the xml to change the bars of the crop square...

3. Is the SamsungCamera.apk, I have gone through every file located in res, and cant find how to make the text in the menus green.

Looked through all files, to get rid of blue text, can't find what controls it. Please help!

I have looked and looked, I must be missing something...

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I need a little help! My hopes are no one has asked this yet, as i didn't see it asked or answered.

I am trying to find the background in the notification panel for Music Player... I did all the smali work on my other notifications, but this one (or two, depending on the icon background) is being a real pain.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Evewon:
Yeah I found your posts, but I am trying to change the LOCKSCREEN status bar. Not the normal status bar... Anyone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Ah sorry I misread. I don't know if the lockscreen has transparency overlay capability without further coding. I don't think it's something one can just enable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Evewon:
That could be, but I have noticed a difference on color of the lockscreen status bar in a few different roms. Your ROM is Intergalactic, right? For example on every other ROM I have used the lock screen is black 000000, but on Intergalactic its the same grey as the home screen status bar, this leads me to believe it's somewhere to be changed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
Stock = black-gray. Changing it to just about anything else seems to make it black.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'd have a look at framework-res since everything lockscreen related seems to be there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Ah yes. But when I changed the transparency of the homescreen, it changed the lockscreen status bar black which also made me think it could be done...I have an idea. In my instructions, try changing the first value from 00000000 (black) to 7F000000 (50% transparent) and see if that makes the lockscreen transparent...I'm curious.

You're not allowed to post at the exact same time as me. Freakin me out man...:confused: jk :) Could be XML or changing a png file in framework-res? I don't know either
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Evewon:
Nope still stays black... I'll go through framework-res again and see if I can find it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
I've searched, too. It's definitely possible as some MiUI ROMs have it as orange, while an AOKP ROM's screenshot showed it as transparent.

I'm too tired to test it tonight, but have you looked at:

<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_closed_default_background">#ff000000</item>
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_opened_default_background">#ff000000</item>

in framework-res.apk -> res -> values -> drawables.xml?

Hello all. I'm trying to make a cyan blue aosp lock screen. There are a few things I can't find as you can see in the screenshot I posted.

BTW I'm on a vzw s3 running beans 13.

Specifically I can't find the XML that colors the date and am/pm. The solutions posted in this thread don't work on the aosp screen as they are for the stock lock screen. Unlike the other lock screens, the aosp one does not seem to have an XML file in ~/layout. Perhaps I'm overlooking it?

And I can't find the XML or image that dictates the color of the Google now target. I know there are images in drawable-xhdpi that would indicate that they are the correct images but changes do nothing. The dots between the hours and minuets I simply forgot to colorify.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

How would one go about making a dedicated .PNG for statusbarbackground? On Sprint MD4?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Decompile your SystemUI.apk in the way you see fit.

Navigate to ~/res/layout and find the xml file called tw_status_bar.xml, open it with your favorite text editor.

One of the first lines will be about your status bar. Look for or something very similar in the first few lines:

android:background="#FF000000"

Replace the above code with:

android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background"

Now save that file and open tw_super_status_bar.xml which is also located in ~/res/layout.

You need to search for a line of text that has to do with the status bar color. Im sorry I cant give specific lines or even the specific names i dont have this phone anymore. Anyway search for # and look for status bar in front of it. Use your best judgment. Once you find the line of code change the color code to 00000000.

Save the file. Now open your favorite image editing program and make an image that is 720 x 50 pixels. Make it any color you would like and save it as status_bar_background.png. Move the file to ~/res/drawable-xhdpi.

Now you can recompile your SystemUI.apk. After it recomples move it to your phone in the way you see fit. Enjoy.
