I really like the taskbar in the Shadow Frost rom version 1.4. However I really want it on sense roms. I need the black taskbar with the blue battery and other blue icons. Can someone point me in the direction of where to find a flashable zip for this taskbar.
Shokouhi
when you download the rom you want, just open it with winrar, don't extract it. then go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk file and open it with winrar. DON'T close any of the zips you opened.
then open shadowfrost 1.4 and go again to /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, open it with winrar again.
now drag and drop the files from framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder from shadowfrost into framework-res.apk from the rom you want to flash. this way you'll replace all files.
take a look first at the file statusbar_background.png to have the same name and not statusbar_background.9.png.
now close all zips/apks, it will ask to update the files, click yes and flash your rom
I tried doing this to Jason .22 blur rom and after doing this it will not boot so I must flash a different rom. The files must be incompatible. I would just like his taskbar in a zip do you know how to do this?

I ran into a DroidDoesPink ROM which was Sense-able just redone in pink. I was wondering if this can be done with any rom? If any of them could be changed the color you want. http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/64009-droiddoespink-rom.html Here is the link to it. How could I go about changing the color to something i want? or is this not possible? Sorry if this a noob question lol

all you have to do is change the corresponding png files in the framework-res.apk
its found under /system/frameworks
lets pretend i dont know how to do that...
unzip the rom
find the framework-res.apk under system/frameworks
change apk to zip
unzip
edit the png files for whatever suits your taste
zip the files back up
rename to framework-res.apk
push that to your phone and reboot
awesome thanks ill see what i can do
when i zip them back up what settings should i use i tried to flash and it said cant open
you dont flash it
adb remount
adb push *new framework-res.apk* /system/framework
Actually got it working thanks!
So, i've been trying this for a while. It's not working. Are there any special settings I need to use to zip it? When I reboot the phone it just hangs on the androids on skateboards.
make sure you do exactly what is said and you name the file framework-res.apk and it switches to an apk file. i had trouble here but one you get that right it works great
here's what I did.
1. unzipped the CELB2.4 rom
2. went to /system/framework and renamed the framework-res.apk to a .zip
3. extracted the .zip
4. modified the .png's
5. renamed the framework-res.zip back to a .apk
6. booted my phone into recovery and in a terminal ran
./adb shell mount /system
./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
I tried the remount command and it doesn't work while in recovery
*Edit: just looked at the framework-res.apk file again. Although it says it's a .apk, it still acts and looks like a .zip without the .zip extension. What's going on?*

heres what i did...
create a new folder and put the framework-res.apk in there
archive it
open it up (dont extract)
you will see new folder open that
you will then see "framework-res.apk.zip"
take off the .zip extention and it will then become an apk file
extract it then push it to your phone

I can make an update.zip of that pink theme, or if you send me the rom update.zip you want to integrate it into, I can do that. Always happy to help.
you don't need to change the .apk to .zip it will open just like a zip file. easiest way is to drag and drop the edited png's back into the framework-res.apk without extracting it. I made the droiddoespink rom way back when and to be honest its probably a little outdated. I did update it with overclock and apps2sd though I think but if you are trying to change the colors to something else I would reccomend you start with a stock rom. You don't want to make everything orange and then have a pink highlight pop up somewhere. Also in sense based roms there are some png's in the htcresources.apk too. And to theme the dialer htcdialer.apk and phone.apk.

true.
the instructions i gave are how to do it on mac 10.4
I find that 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ is most helpful in this type work in that allows you to open the .apk "archive" files
Hope this helps
do i need to resize the png's because when i edit them and when i push the file to my phone it shows up that i edited it but its not one big edited picture its a whole bunch of small ones.. im thinking i need to resize the png's to the size of my phonne

try resizing the edited files to what the unedited files originally were
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, Thanks Conap, you're the man! That did the trick for me. I had to not extract the .apk just open it with archive manager and drag and drop the files/folder. White and red here we come!

I would like the new sense able rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654315 here or evil eris here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650302 which ever is easier for you if you could integrate that to color #00aeff that would be awesome
i attempted to replace most of the .apks in the system app folder with the same .apks from an ealier version of the rom (because i prefer black to blue/black). i replaced them in the .zip before i flashed it, hoping it would work.. but it didnt.. in the recovery menu it says:
....
verifying update package...
e:wrong digest:
system/app/browser.apk
e:verification failed
browser was one i replaced. how do i make this work? i dont want to use root explorer to manually replace each ****ing thing, and i have no patients for adb. i must need to sign the package or something? i never unpacked anything, just replaced some contents.. thought id be fine..
on a related note there may be more issues to come. unzipped the framework-res.apk to my computer, renamed it .zip, went inside and replaced the battery icons, renamed it back to .apk and replaced the modified file in the rom. who knows what chaos i might have caused there.. if you know what to expect and how to fix it please feel free to help!
if it matters at all, the rom im modifying and flashing is nonsensikal 9.5 black/blue, the system apps came from version 8.2 black, and battery icon .pngs came from 5.4 black.
Id try and resign the whole rom after you make your changes it should be just fine
you cannot simply replace the apks in the zip, then flash. after replacing, use one of the following methods:
if you use linux, use EasySign (http://android.grdlock.net/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=HTC Droid Eris/Extras) or the Android Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246).
if using Windows:
Use AutoSign (http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html).
Thanks. I'll get on the computer and give it a shot.

if you've unzipped the framework-res.apk then none of this will work anyway. You need to pull the images out of the old framework-res.apk and drag and drop them back into the new framework-res.apk without unzipping it. You shouldn't even need to rename it to zip. Just open it with a program like 7zip without unzipping and drop the png's in the correct folders. Then you can put the .apk back in the rom and resign from the links directed above.
Oh it all worked fine. I never unzipped framework, just extracted it from the Rom and renamed it, then replaced files, renamed back to apk, and replaced in original .zip. it worked great.
To achieve full 9.5 black I have to copy all of the previous versions (black) framework .pngs to the new Rom though.
I think the file is like, drawable-mpdi or something. Not landscape or non. I don't really know.. not in right frame of mind

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to change the colour of the selection colour in Stock Android (I think it's already Green in Sense Roms)? But in Stock it's Orange, I want to know if there's a way to change it to Green?
I'm guessing i just need to alter a colour code in some xml file somewhere but absolutely no idea where to start looking!
Cheers
Paul
Its in the framework-res.apk in the /system/framework folder. There are png files that you need to edit.
Use APK Manager 4.9 to decompile the file, then edit with Photoshop and compile the file again.
Make a flashable CWM zip file and flash it.
Search on the board for the how-to's.

Cheers Brain - Exactly what i was after! I'll give this a go this evening!
Well...if you succeeded, would you mind sharing it with us? Thats one thing im searching for since using gingerbread.
Hello,
I'm facing a problem where I'm unable to apply UOT themes on my Gingerbread/Sense rom . I'm currently running InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ v02, and extracted the framework_res, as well as SystemUI from the ZIP but still I cant get it to work.
No matter what I try nothing changes. Can anyone help me?
What's going wrong exactly?
EDIT: When you've chosen the stuff you want, check the Summary area and make sure there are no red boxes indicating something is incompatible/wrong

if you cook framework and systemui - it means you changing system theme. So after flashing UOT, select "System" theme in ThemeChooser.

unzip your ROM and put
-SystemUI.apk from the app_s folder
-framework-res.apk from the framework_s folder
from the unzipped ROM
load this 2 files in "UOT File upload" up
then cooked your file and download it.
download this file h ttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/18354786/black_circle-bat_flying.zip
then unzip your kitchen file and black_circle-bat_flying.zip.
put your kitchen SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
copy this files in to the follow dirs:
-SystemUI.apk to the black_circle-bat_flying/app_s folder
-framework-res.apk to the black_circle-bat_flying/framework_s folder
then zip it, now you can flash this file in recovery.
the black_circle-bat_flying.zip works with InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ v03 data++ version.
i have used the installscript from alexdiaz themediazGingerMix7.
i hope its allowed to use this script, if not ok then i delete the zip.
Sorry for my bad english
for gingerbread roms you need 3 files. the other one is com.htc.resources.apk
u need to upload the com.htc.resource file as well to make the theme work,
I am on insertcoin v0.8, everything works great, very smooth
Need some help or guide to create or modify the MM theme or the stock theme of the device. Not device theme editor that you can install on the phone.i want to use an app for windows or something to create a theme or modify. I want to make stock theme but with amoled black settings menu, dailer, msg etc. Basicly i want to make the white menus black on all the stock apps and settings... Any links or guidance please
.hwt are Huawei Theme Files that you can simply unzip with 7zip and modify and then recompress after youre done. I suggest you get a heavily modded .hwt and a stock one and then in the modded one you can see what goes where and change things in the stock one. Just repack it with 7zip and you can just place the .hwt in the HWThemes folder and enjoy it.
