Quick question for all you themers out there. Which value, in which file, controls the battery text percentage color? I've been all through systemui.apk and just can't find it. I also can't find the icons for power save, and the SD card that go on the status bar. Please help?
 
I'm not even close to theming but I did switch some pngs with ninjamorph . They seem to be scattered all over the place . like the Apollo app stat notification was inside the apk itself . it's very frustrating for me so i gave up

yeah i use ninja morph to for the small little edits but i wanna know how to change the status bar and all the colors and what not
 
I used apktool to decompile, changed settings in xml files located in res/values folder, as well as png files from res/hdpi
 
I use ninja morph for the pngs so I can see how it looks while its being themed. For font colors you have to decompile and edit XML files. The status bar and drop down is in system ui. And I believe the rest of the font colors are in framework res.
 
And if you are trying to add a PNG to something that has a color setting instead of a IMG like the notification back ground I found that it's easier to change out an in used PNG and change the XML code to reference that image, Instead of adding a new one. Some times the color isn't in values and is in layout. You might have to look there for the bat percent color. I would help you but I'm in the process of fixing my comp.
 
For now i can live with that, its more the blue in the ss that bugs me. I've changed all the references i can find to that blue in system ui and framework, but so far I'm still looking
 
Hey brothers so i decided to try and mess with the XML files but i don't know what to edit . How do i change the colors ? Like in the PIC showed above :) thanks


I was wondering , if I just change the color code in the XML will that be all that needs to be done or do i have to Also change something else somewhere else . Also where do you guys get the color codes ? Thanks again
 
I use uot to get the general color codes. In the xml, the first two characters of a color I THINK controls the opacity. The last six digits actually control the HTML color code. Sry to say tho the colors are in several xml files. I'll try to get you a list later tomorrow.
 
Hey exile could you do me a big favor plz ? I can't seem to decompile edit and compile the apks with ninja morph correctly . Something is up :/ . I have 5 apks I need to do just minor edits . Pngs about 50 or so , i was wondering if you could do the edits on your PC with that apktool program . I have no PC :/
