Here is a guide how to colorize lock screen clock in JellyBean.
1. Download attached apktools.zip and unpack it on your computer (make sure there are NO spaces in folder names!)
2. Copie framework-res.apk to same folder.
3. Navigate to this folder in your work station, press SHIFT ang right click and in contex menu -> "open command from here".
4. Now we have to install fist the framework-res (U have to do this only once for each rom!) by typing following command:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
5. For decompiling framework-res.apk:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk
6. Now there should be a folder named "framework-res".
7. Navigate to framework-res\res\values\ and open colors.xml with a text editor and search for:
Code:
<color name="lockscreen_clock_background">#ff33b5e5</color>
<color name="lockscreen_clock_foreground">#ff33b5e5</color>
<color name="lockscreen_clock_am_pm">#ff33b5e5</color>
8. Now you can edit color with what ever U want. In my case it is ICS blue.
9. Save changes and navigate back to apktools root folder.
10. Now for compiling framework-res again open command as mentioned in 3. and type:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res
11. Compiled framework-res.apk should now be in \framework-res\dist\ (be patient...could take a few minutes)
12. Last but not least you have to sign framework-res.apk. I always sign apk's with Android Commander and never had any issues.
There are also two .zip's attached which can be used to flash framework-res via CWM. One for patched and one for original file (in the case there went something wrong).
Tested on Win7 64bit!

Very Nice! Which property changes the color of the date and "charging" text?
I believe I am supposed to get framework-res.apk from my ROM but I don't see it. Where do I find it?

Your HH has been rooted.
Go to system, there's build.prop
Tap and hold on the file. Then, Open in Text Editor.
*Don't forget to mount r/w system on right side.
Find :
debug.sf.hw=1
Give # into it
So, it can be like this :
#debug.sf.hw=1
Up next,
U need to decompile framework-res.apk with APKTOOL that u can download here
*Don't forget to backup your data, if there something that u don't want it happens
After u downloaded it, go extract it into a directory that u wanna, and name it APKTOOL.
Then, u use command prompt.bat file on the folder.
Type these commands :
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d framework-res.apk
After u decompiled it, u find bools.xml on folder res/value, u search line :
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
Change true to false
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
After u edited the data, u go back to operate command prompt.bat
Then, type :
apktool b framework-res
Have a look folder build.
U'll find file resources.arsc and other folders (Go to folder res, find file u edited).
Drag it into framework-res.apk
May this help ya!

I use Windows 7 and also don't see any values folder. In fact no such folder exists in the original .apk file either.

With the new KitKat update, Android uses black color as System background. In JellyBean,it used to be a png image which reside in framework/drawable folder. But in KitKat, png has been removed and now it uses solid black color. Here's a method to use custom image instead of black color.
1.Decompile framework-res.apk
2.Open drawable folder and find this xml file-
tw_background_holo_dark.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Replace this line-
Code:
with this-
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][/COLOR]
3.Now navigate to res\drawable-sw360dp-xhdpi (it may be xxhdpi for high-res devices)
4.Paste your custom png here and rename it to tw_background_holo_dark.png
5.Now recompile
6.Finally push META-INF and Android Manifest.xml in your compiled apk and then zip align it.
Here's a screenshot from my 4.4.2 TW KitKat ROM-

i hope this can help ,
- skip folder drawable-sw360dp and drawable/tw_list_selector_holo_light.xml from source,.
- just merge drawable/frame_click.xml from source to folder drawable and also all .png from source (drawable-xhdpi).
- then open framework-res.apk/res/drawable/list_selector_holo_dark.xml and change this line (there are two lines)
Code:
android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_transition_holo_dark"
to
Code:
android:drawable="@drawable/frame_click"
- save
done

Info
This will allow you to get the icons from the google pixel on your phone.
Not all apps are supported as the app has to provide a separate round icon.
Video tutorial coming soon.
TOOLS
Java: https://java.com/en/download/
Root Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
Apktool: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/
INSTRUCTIONS
Copy \root\system\framework\firmware-res.apk onto your computer, you might want to make a backup.
On your computer download apktool.jar and place it in the same location as your firmware-res.apk file.
Open CMD and navigate to the location of firmware-res.apk and apktool.jar
Type this in CMD.
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk
On your computer navigate to \framework-res\res\values\ and open bools.xml.
Look for
Code:
<bool name="config_useRoundIcon">fasle</bool>
and set it to true.
Go back to cmd and type
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res -c
Copy the new firmware-res.apk from framework-res\dist\ onto your device and paste it in \root\system\framework\ you may need to do this in recovery.
Restart your device.
View the correct instructions for your launcher.
Pixel Launcher
On your device navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher/databases/
Google Now Launcher
On your device navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.launcher/databases/
Action Launcher
On your device navigate to /data/data/com.actionlauncher.playstore/databases/
Nova Launcher
On your device navigate to /data/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/databases/
Other Launchers
On your device navigate to /data/data/[Launcher Bundle-ID/Package Name]/databases/
Then delete app_icons.db and restart your device.
Notes
If you cannot find the location of app_icons.db then go to settings - apps - your launcher and clear all app data but doing this will lose icon layout.
If you cannot find <bool name="config_useRoundIcon">fasle</bool> then you are probably an incompatible version of android and the only option is to use an icon pack.
