i did some searching for you and found this. such code language is greek to me as im not too good with coding jargon. hope it helps you:
Q- I want to be able to change the background color to white in my android app in the simplest way possible
A- You need to use the android:background property , eg
android:background="@color/white"
Also you need to you need to add a value for white in the strings.xml
<color name="white">#FFFFFF</color>
A2- You can also use
android:background="#ffffff"
in your xml layout, or you can change the theme in your AndroidManifest.xml by adding
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light"
to your activity tag.
If you want to change the background dynamically, use
YourView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255))
hope this helps

oh..there isn't any good news now at this moment.
on the one hand, I can't decompile the "conversation.apk" individually,
(the error just like : "Could not decode attr value, using undecoded value instead")
on the other hand, the "framework-res.apk"&"blur-res.apk" can be decompiled correctly, but I edit some xml about colors, and my device can't boot with the replacement.
I have to recovery it now..and waiting for help!!

check through the threads on this forum and see if anybody has posted a similar question as yours and if they have a solution. my bet is somebody has.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565
EDIT: after looking around a bit, most people on other forums recommend for you just to use handcent. apparently its the simplest fix without you having to tweak around much a lot. they just recommend for you to disable the stock message notification so that you wont get 2 notifications on your notification bar. perhaps you'd wanna give it another go? besides, apparently handcent supports upto 5mb of storage as opposed to the standard 2mb on the stock messaging app

I got why I can't decompile Conversations.apk..
This man said in his thread:
"
I am trying to decompile Conversations.APK from /system/app with APKTool
I am using framework-res.apk, blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk as the framework.
It was successfuly decompiled.
"
I knew this before, but I don't know how to use them as the framework..
maybe I gonna ask him for details...to decompile my conversations

I changed #ffffffff to #00000000 and saved it .
But it doesn't work...nothing happened with my TextMessaging!
I think I should have a try on framework-res.apk or blur-res.apk.

I like customize rom in my way. i changed app icons but now i want to change app names. please someone guide me for this which file to be edited.
Try APK Edit
With this tool you can change every text that appears in that app and even add new languages...
For me it was also quite useful and it's not very complicated. Only open the APK (You must have the apk on your computer) and edit it

Please use the 'search' tool..
Plus VigiDroid recently typed a guide for resizing .xml's.
A real dev should know what to do instead of opening these useless threads.
You shouldn't be too harsh to him. He was either unsure or confused on what to do.

Look at the other threads he have opened. The answers to all his questions are just somewhere at XDA (I think he can imagine that) so the next step is using the 'search' tool.
I think everyone can do this.

Wait did you even read my guide...? Nothing about values-mdpi... If you read the guide correctly you would learn that to resize you have to edit the values in xml files in /res/layout or /res/layout-mdpi or /res/layout-port or /res/layout-land
And it doesn't just happen all correctly with one change of a file and majority of the time when you change something you notice nothing has changed, this happens to me all the time, it just takes patience to get it right!

@VigiDroid
Sorry my friend but i must correct you the .xml files that you must edit are not in the res/layout or res/layout-mdpi folder they are indeed in the res/values and res/values-mdpi folders unless i'm mistaken but as i resized your lockscreen for SenseOnFire rom those were the .xml files i edited

Are you questioning my experience? haha
Now you see it seems I have overlooked lockscreen (which is why I could not get it to resize) nearly every other app you have to modify the .xml files in the layout folder but as a general rule you should just go and look into every .xml file and try and note if anything might be related to a layout..

You rename apps you need to edit smali files. I also didnt know how to rename my launcher but i searched a lot. To change color you need to edit xml files in res/layout or res/values.

Changing text color http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151075
-respect older people-
To rename apps open androidmanifest . You might find something like 'android:label="@string/app_name" if u see some thing like this search for "app_name" (in this case ) and you will find the name of app in the strings.xml
if i hav accidently helped u, u can press that button,
colors are located in colors folder,
specifically
primary_text_****.xml
secondary_text_****.xml
etc. etc.
declared as hex codes,
please research the proper hex codes for your desired color,
and compile the apk properly to get best results,
preferably you could replace classes.dex with the previous unedited apk incase it does not install

I found EMUI themes on the internet which changed the design of various third party apps like f.e. WhatsApp. So I know, I could just take the theme, and edit the com.whatsapp file in it, but there are not all design elements of the app included. So my question: How can I find out the name of every design element and file name to change the design of every part of each app?
This is huge process i think
I'd just need the name of the elements for this xml file and the rest of the file structure where the media files for icons are (with their name). How could other people do it then? Isn't there a way to easily find that out? ?
I guess you have to decompile the apps in question and look at their source code for the correct names for elements. Probably a bit time consuming process yes. But that's probably how they all do it.
Thanks, I decompiled WhatsApp.apk and am now trying to understand how this whole thing works... I still don't understand everything especially because of the theme.xml file which obviously only exists in the theme, but not in the decompiled WhatsApp.apk. But I'm going to try to find out everything by try and error

Does anyone know how to edit the chat bubbles in Whatsapp using the EMUI themes? I already tried to enter another color inside the theme.xml:
<color name="bubble_color_outgoing">#ffd29bd7</color>
And I also tried to edit those files (see attachment) inside /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/, /res/drawable-xhdpi-v4/ and /res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4/.
Nothing changed. Is the EMUI theming engine unable to edit those chat bubbles or is there another file that I missed?
