rosie folder contains only the arc images.
and if u want to change color of the top bar and other buttons then u will have to edit other folders as well.

I was wondering if theres any way I code enter a code or something to change how the battery in the status bar looks like for MLIGN's 2.5.7? Someone please respond!
theres no code you need to edit the image files in the framework-res.apk

How do I go along doing that?
open up the .apk then click the res folder then find the files in one of the drawable folders

Well its to change the battery status for MLIGN's 2.5.7 cus I prefer the stock battery instead of the one included in that ROM, so you still want me to send the file?

ok, just the stock battery from a hero rom, will be back with it. i assume with hero roms you can still just flash a single .apk and it not mess the whole thing up, i really don't need to upload a hero rom.

Ohh so try and flash the frame-work res apk.? Sorry Im a bit of noob when it comes to stuff like this
i don't use hero, and therefore have no way of testing it (really don't feel like going through the hassle of setting it back up on my phone) but i imagine you can just flash a single .apk file and it will work. the file i am going to upload, you should just be able to flash it, since all it will be is the framework-res.apk file along with the necessary files to make an update.zip flash.

the way i did the JACxROM 1.3 a while back was by grabbing a theme template by cyanogen and looking at what files it contained .. then I grabbed the rom and deleted all the files that werent necessary and voila you have a template
OK!,this is what I was going to try right now. Thanks, for your help

oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over
I like this theme . But i dont know the name of this theme. please help !
Thanks!
lol do you mean AOSP or the fact its running froyo?

The title says 2.1 but the heading in the post says 1.5.. Hopefully you did a nandroid back up before flashing that, just in case.
I also have no idea what rom you are using.
Hi, I have a MOTOROLA Milestone 2 with 2.2.2 .
I would change the statusbar color from white to black. On the internet I saw that someone has done it with the original ROM, but in my only attempt I blocked everything and I solved with a flash.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

I started from a2s so my clock color was already white. But you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549309
Hi! I also want to replace the color of the status bar but I'm not shure if I get the procedure... I already have the modified framework-res.apk from UOT Kitchen, do I have to flash it from recovery? Does it works from the stock Froyo 2.2.1 ROM or do I have to change the ROM?? Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing that link! Played around with it last night and transformed the interface completely under an hour
Hope someone can make a guide for it though, such as the bootanimation folder. I selected the Froyo option but it didn't appear as a change. I guess its another folder but I'm not sure which.

Did you mean "where", right?
You can use images from themes that were published in the forum, find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524633
(but ask for the permission of the creator at first.)
You can follow this guide of huexxxx, it explains how to modify images in a rom using winrar.
thankyou
