Get back stock(red) selections ...buttons, menus etc. - Droid X General

I just came from rumm rx to apex 1.3 and all my selections highlight color is back to that hideous yellow/orangeish color. I want my red back! Is there any way to modify or swap a file to change the selection press color?

You can do it manually if you go digging through system files... I think a lot of people have used the 928 back to stock theme. I'm not sure if it works on Apex or not though... Hope this is helpful at least a little. I am working on a theme, if I can find the image that you need to replace, I will post back here to let you know.

[Q] need help: settings items not working after theme

I created a port of a tron theme for the 2.3.15 OTA. Right now it is only for framework, and I have simply swapped images and edited colors in xml files. I can no longer open Settings-->phone settings.
When I click it, it just goes back to my home screen. Any ideas what I may have messed up? The same thing happens for battery manager too...

A far easier method is to download LauncherPro from the market. Then just Google for some free icons or TouchWiz Icons. Launcher Pro will let you set whatever icons you want for apps. Way easier and way less chance of screwing something up. I wasn't a big fan of the green icons either, so I went this route and made it look just the way I wanted.
You can unzip the old apks and find the appropriate .png file, then copy it into the Bionix-v apks and adb push them to /system/app
That's what I did when I ran Nero, getting back the original (FAR LESS UGLY AND GREEN) AOSP icons (though, the AOSP mms app already has an ugly icon, but I hate it anyway and use TouchWiz mms).

Delete the icon from the home page. Then long press to add a shortcut. When you do, Launcher Pro will pop open a window and give you the option to change the name under the icon. While it's in that mode, look under the icon in the pop up window and it will say "touch the icon to change it". It will then take you to your gallery where you can select a new icon.

Get CM7 Theme Chooser to work on the Vibrant

Hey guys, I really love to have some of the CM7 themes from the Android Themes forum on my Vibrant. I've downloaded a few of them to try out but it didn't seem to work. When I hit apply, my phone didn't look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021507
Please help me! Btw i'm running CM7 nightly 56 ROM
Well first of all, you have to be using the ADW launcher included with CM7... you can't be using another launcher like Eugene373's Gingerbread launcher... then only your top menu and icons will change.
If you're downloading the apk file you want, then simply installing it, you should be able to go to you apps, select theme chooser (multi colored android guy) and then apply whatever theme it is in there.
If it doesn't work..... you must be the only one who has that problem lol. Shoot me a PM if you still can't figure it out.
ok so the top menu and icons change. How do I get the rest to work?

restart the phone after you select a new theme.
i did that and only its still just the top menu and icons
Your not using adw launcher thats why. You have to go to ur home screen, hit tbe menu key, then go to manage apps. Somewhere k there you will see launcher, you eed to select it and hit clear defaults.
Im not sure if there is an easier way maybe someone knows

theming status bar

Ok so I've installed the Falcon Galaxy mod because I like the touchwiz interface. However I do not like the look of the status bar. I've read in other posts that all you need to do is go into the SystemUI.apk file of another mod and replace the drawable folders of the mod you're installing. I have tried the systemui for honeyvillain and for status bar mods for the galaxy and none of them seem to have worked. After I flash either the system ui app force closes over and over or some of the icons work and some don't. Can anyone help me out? I'm kind of new to editing apks.
I have changed 98%of my status bar with NinjaMorph successfully. I am using the Lenovo back, home, and menu buttons. I have also changed the battery, wifi and everything else except the clock color, which is beyond me at the moment. Give me a few and I'll post some pics.

Ok, Im now on my PC so I will post up some screnn shots to show what can be done with NinjaMorph.
oh cool, i thought that app was only for phones. thanks for the help!
No problem. When doing the systemUI.apk right after selecting whether or not you want to zipalign (sp) it, it will f/c. Don't worry, just power down and back on and should be good to go. Don't forget to backup first.

do you know what the name of the file is that determines the color of the status bar?
I don't. But looking through Res & systemUI like it is on my phone the status bar should be white by the images in mine. So it must be in an XML somewhere but I don't know about them yet.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
hmm. any time i've tried replacing an xml file systemui stops working.
It doesn't come back after a reboot?

I gave up on falcon galaxy. It had a lot of bugs and trying to theme kept ending up messsing things up. I went back to HoneyVillain 1.2. I tried doing a Hue shift on all the status bar icons so that they'd be red instead of blue. It worked except that the popup that shows up when you tap the clock was all messed up. I'm not sure if it saved wrong or what but I suppose I can try again later.
Try my SystemUI Editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289357
It lets you edit the SystemUI.apk file.
Although it's very limited at present, it lets you edit the navigation buttons on the status bar.
I'll continue adding to it.

[Q] Paranoid Android Hybrid Settings color change?

I can't change any of the custom colors in Hybrid Settings for the apps or nav / note bars. I can get into the small menu with the options to change the colors but when you actually press them, the color menu where you pick the color takes up most of the screen and there is no way to "confirm" or "apply" the color that you picked. If you hit the back button nothing changes. Anyone know if maybe I'm missing something here? Or is this a bug? Maybe a bad flash? Help me out please.

Try making your modifications to the Hybrid Properties in Portrait Mode, rather than Landscape.
The Stock Color, Active Color, and New Color options should be visible that way.
Thank you so much. That should be fixed... I find it odd that things get lost to screen resolution because of orientation layouts are forgotten or just straight up not optimized for the device one builds it for. That's a bug one would think would be avoided at this stage being well into developmental builds. Thanks again for the tip. I'll report the bug and look for others like it.

I believe this was fixed in the most recent update (this update also gets us Halo!)
