try looking into styles.xml. also try looking in /res/layout and there should be xml's in there.

Im so down. I was never a fan of red, but after making this, i have to say its pretty darn sexy. Next up us a matching black and red contacts. Then the big daddy framework. At some point, I'll go back and throw the red twist onto the LGUSMms.apk. Only problem for me is time. But i'll continue to post them as i finish each one, and some of our talented chefs can bake us something tasty with them.

Try using adb pull

As in option '0'?

Yeah, in multi tool, adb pull is option 0. It sounds like something isnt installed correctly. I had to install Java several times before it would work right. The same with multi tool. Just keep trying and make sure your using the right Java version for your computer, i.e. 64 bit version if your comp is 64 bit, 32 bit otherwise. Also double check your paths.

"mode" is a command and since its not executing, that's what makes me think something like multi tool or java isnt set up right. Rebooting after reinstalling doesnt hurt either.

What codes do you use to change the color . I dont know where to get them from . Thanks in advance .
Click to expand...

When you decompile an apk, there should be a colors.xml inside of /res/values. Use the one from our stock alarm clock apk and that should have some color codes to get you going. Other codes can be found by doing this with different apk's. google "android color codes" and that should give you a result or two worth looking into.
 
Hey bro , im trying to change the bubble in sms app , but they always come out weird . Theres tools to make it look better , but i want it to look just right . Any app you suggest that can make the round edges more clearer/rounder . It looks too sqared and im tired of edditing with photo editor .

My best guess would be to google "sms bubbles" or something similar and try to find some images you want to use. Aside from that, you could use GIMP to edit the png's and just keep editing until you get it the way you want. Sorry, but i cant think of any easier ways to round the edges.
 
@Samson

Hey bro, well I've been having a lot of trouble editing the XML files on the systemui, so i would like to know if you might be able to do that part for me :)
Since you've been very successful with that :p

Lol. Sure thing. Just PM me with a link to download your SystemUI along detailed instructions/description of what you're looking for. Also, it may take me some time as i'm working quite a bit.
 
Hey samson , can you help me out with the grey colored bar . Thanks in advance , by the way i was wondering if you could also help me with the xmls . I cant seem to figure them out . If you could point me on the right direction id really apreciate it .
