Which hdpi folder controls the toggle icons? (Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, etc.) I changed all of mine to blue in xhdpi but everything still remains green.

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.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 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.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 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?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] strongsteve:
The alphabet scroll line on the right.. where can I find it??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 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

Oh, are you using a decompiler to break the apk down so you can edit xml files and nine patch images, or are you using the zip method to edit images only?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] laylovj:
zip
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane6374:
Ok, if you are not using 7zip, switch to it. programs like winrar create issues with compression that will cause the apk to force close.

besides that, how do you change the status bar clock's color? like I said I'm pretty new when it comes to xml stuff. :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane6374:
Since it's a system apk signing shouldn't be an issue. I know on AOSP ICS builds we had to either use the 7zip method or build from source.....

Maybe ask in the AT&T thread. I'm going to link all these threads over the weekend anyway. MrVirginia and Co might have a better idea. Even though I started the threads my expertise lies more with xml edits.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] laylovj:
All I've done is edit the Dialer BGs...dunno why it's doing it... :/

Probably doing something wrong, but I've no idea what. o_o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane6374:
Since the carriers were split up and the most posts in the original thread came from the AT&T themers, I think we should make that the main thread.

Ah I forgot to load the framework file, good call man...

And you know whats funny, is Ive found the name/location of this file the hard way, and Ive been told twice before. Either the files are just really wacky this time around, or that file name/location is a curse for me :(. Ive seen it be a single dot.9 patch fill file (really small), and Ive seen it be a bigger image, and Im still looking. But my eyes are killing me now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane6374:
I remember you saying something about that a few months ago on the ET4G. I looked but couldn't find anything that looked like it might be it, more importantly I didn't find anything in the xml files that would point to that.

If you haven't seen it go back to my last post on page 2. That is what I found in the xml files.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TeamERA:
Yeah, well if I remember right it was always a file, not an xml edit. The hard way was to add diff color dots to each black image I came across in drawable-hdpi on the et4g, now xhdpi, but that took forever. I may have to do the same thing. But ill ask around first, maybe tomorrow. Im about to be gettin down for the fourth ;) At home this year, but still fun. So I wont post in anyones theme thread just yet, since Id rather people have fun today :)

Edit, and the thread your thinking of was for the actually notification box, like when you get a text message. But I have had several of those threads also. The one where you helped was an xml edit because it was for cm9 I think.

Just the thread I was looking for...

Haven't done a whole lot of ICS themeing (GB use to be so much easier), and especially not with TouchWiz. Anyway, I have the following questions in reference to the screen shot below. Most of these changes, if not all, I believe are in the SystemUI. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

1) How the hell do you get rid of the carrier ID? Also, if I wanted to move it to where the date currently is in the notification menu, how would this be accomplished?

2) How do I change the quick menu toggle color? Is it a hexcode or a png... haven't been able to find it anywhere? Maybe in the framework-res?

3) For future's sake & reference which xml is this color at (the background for the toggles)?

4) How do I right align the date by the settings button?

5) Text color location for this?

6) Background Color for this?
