Hey guys, what edit to SystemUI.apk or twframework-res.apk would be necessary to get rid of the text below the status bar toggles? I assume removing the entry in strings.xml would leave a gap, so how was it done on i9000 ROMs? Thanks!
Yeah, removing the strings left empty space. Any help?

There is a how to posted somewhere in the i9000 threads. Can't find link as I am mobile. It requires editing the lines in the expanded status bar xml
It was actually quick panel xml, but thanks for telling me it was in the i9000 section, for a thread on it.

What is the name & location of the location bar .png on the stock rosie? You know, the little bar that tells you which screen you're on? I've found all the files to change from stock to Espresso save for this one and it's driving me crazy 'cause I can't find it!
Is it an XML file that I need to look for? If so how do I edit it to remove the bar?
Help please!

Maybe a quick question....
don't think the answer is quite as quick lol
I just started messing around with making themes. I know how to modify the xml, png, and .9.png files; but am having problems with the text under the quickpanel icons (ie. wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, orientation).
What files do I need to modify to change the text color under the quickpanel icons? I'm assuming it's in the twframework-res.apk, but I looked through all the xml files and didn't see where to change the text color.
If anyone has some insight, please advise. Thanks

I have done some themeing before, and although I never have changed the text you are asking for and dont know where it is, I can tell you that the first thing you need to do is. Decompile the framework. This is because many xml's are hidden in the apk format. Searxh for apk manager to do so.
After decompiling look in twframework-res\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml
Each item will have something like android:textColor="@color/tw_colorXXX"
Then look for that in twframework-res\res\values\colors.xml

I know how to decompile and modify the xml files and I use apktool (apkmanager is just a wrapper for apktool).

I already modified the status_bar_expanded.xml colors and still the text doesn't show up correctly (changed all colors to #ffffffffff).
Maybe it's not the text that is the problem but the png background, but changing the status_bar_background.9.png didn't fix it.
Here's the screeny of what I am trying to fix.
I've seen that before. LOL What do you want it to look like?
You sure you didn't modify the text in \res\values\strings.xml?

the text in strings.xml is correct. I just want the text to show
Change them all back to the orginal in status_bar_expanded.xml which should be android:textColor="@color/tw_color001"
That just made the text black, any other suggestions?
I think it might actually be the tw_quick_panel_black_bt.png - I'll modify the png and see if that helps.
tw_color001 should be white.
The background for it is status_bar_header_background_01.png which is where the text is drawn over.
I got it. It was the status_bar_extended.xml, but it was the size dpi which was causing the problems. Thanks for all the help. See screeny

Can someone tell me how to change the notification text color? What is its corresponding value in the XML files? Thanks.
Just did a search. Looks like you have to get into the classes.dex in services.jar and modify StatusBarIcon.smali
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549309
Oh, or did you want the notifications in expanded?
In twframework-res\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml look at the lower section where you'll see android:textColor="#ffffffff" which is hex for white (ARGB), about 3 times. Leave the first FF alone. That's alpha channel.

The text in the expanded notifications panel. Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place but wasn't sure where to post it.
I'm guessing it's not possible as I haven't found anything about it, but I also haven't found anyone asking if it's possible either.
So does anyone know if it's possible and if so, how to go about it? Ie. which files need to be edited.
Thanks in advance
Id believe all you would do is get the framework-res, open up the drawable folders than just edit any xml that talks about the status bar orientation/size/etc
Hello all! I have been making some UI changes to the stock Mms.apk app on my Nexus S. Nothing huge, just a few tweaks. I have been trying to figure out how or where to remove the left and right margins on messages in the message list. I would like each message to span the width of the entire screen. I have decompiled the the apk and I'm not sure where this can be edited. I am using APK Manager 4.9. I have looked in every file that references "MessageListItem" in its title.
Any ideas? Please and thank you!
See the attached image for what margins I am talking about. The margins are highlighted in red.

Does that include all the xmls that have list in the title?

Thanks for responding Zigg. Yes, I have opened all xml files with list in the title. I have edited several of the layout xml files including "message_list_item.xml" in the layout folder, which I feel might be related somehow to those margins.
But, when I edit any file in the /res/layout folder and I compile the apk again it results in a force close on whatever screen that layout xml applies to. So, I make any change to the "message_list_item.xml" file and it will force close when I try to enter the message list but not on the main conversation thread screen.
I don't know either if these margins can be altered by way of a theme and, if so, how to add that style.
Thanks for any feedback you may have!

Are you signing the apk after recompiling it?

I was able to successfully edit the layout XML files, compile the apk and the Mms.apk app is working and being pushed to the system/app folder just fine.
My issue now is I don't know where those margins are being declared or set in the layout or XML files. I don't know if there is a parent element creating them. I have been pouring over the files and maybe it might be somewhere in "compose_message_activity.xml" but I'm not sure.
Thanks again for your help!
Got it!
Thanks for your help Zigg.
I believe that I have figured it out. In "compose_message_activity.xml" there is a view tag referencing MessageListView where I edited the scrollbar properties that were adding space and I also set some negative margins all around.
Has anyone figured out how to change the clock color in the notification bar yet? UOT doesn't work for this, so we'll have to manually change it in services.jar
I'm think its in systemui if you decompile it you should find it in drawables not 100% sure though.

I'm pretty sure you have to edit XMLs in the SystemUI to change any kind of text color.
You would be right, I believe the xml is located in the location mentioned above

Yeah I don't mess with any of that. I just edit PNGs to make my phone LOOK more custom (its fun to show off haha)
For some reason though, on the bionic, when I edit PNGs with something like NinjaMorph, SystemUI FCs on startup.
I'm currently working on editing a flashable theme zip to include my edits, then gonna flash that and see what happens.

That's pretty much what I do. I started to learn to edit .jar and .xml files when I had my X but then other people released themes with the files I needed and I just kanged them instead. Now there is no base that I can find for liberty with the edits I need so I'm trying to learn it myself which will serve me better in the long run. If anyone knows a good noob friendly tutorial I'd love a link, all the ones I've found are a little over my head.
Don't know how to edit much more than some status bar framework. But a color change for the clock would be nice

On the bionic, status bar framework is in SystemUI, most of the framework is in Framework-res.apk

"On startup"
I did reboot.
I also tried editing a theme download and flashing it.
Everything worked but the notification pulldown picture...
Everything in framework-res works and everything in systemUI works EXCEPT that blasted notification pulldown PNG (status_bar_background.9)

That's what I've found as well, I also can't get the shadow under the notification bar to show up.
Does any one know what the pngs are titled that flash while on a call?
I believe those are in blur-res or in the phone/dialer apk's depending on which images you're talking about
