The header is and divider are both in the frameworks files. Either twframeworks-res or frameworks-res. Check the layout folder for the ref

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
Someone attach the apk please.

I am using framework-res.apk, blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk as the framework.
It was successfuly decompiled.

[DEV] Making the Screen On Animation Work

You are always welcome here to help but please don't spam the thread (to all NEWBIES)
It has been a long time since I was here. I have read in many other Q/A threads that screen on animation is not compatible with our ace. I don't think its quite right as Gingerbread supports both.
Here I have found a thread which shows a way to enable Screen On animation.

I am trying to do things as he says. But I am a little off with smali and dex decompiling and editing. I believe that many developers here would love to help.

Thats good. Can you help me by sending me the framework package? I mean the services.jar and framework-res.apk . I actually have the framework-res.apk modified but wasn't able to do the smali and .dex work. Can you help? I could say it will be very helpful for many of the users. You can post a new thread.
Its easy...need to replace a xml file in anim folder of framework-res.apk

Well as you said, I searched the Themes and Apps Section I couldn't find it. Can you post the link to that thread it will be very helpful. I am searching for the xml you are talking about in the anim folder, still trying to find it.
Does it really work?
What about the delay in getting the screen lit up?
Not working!
I tried using the patch provided by side_effect but sadly it didn't work. I am trying to implement it in CM7 official. I can't understand where the problem is, but side_effect says in that thread that its not like the CRT animation. I am looking only for CRT animation. Well I will keep trying to get things work. I would need help from other developers. I see many devs have it working already. If yes please do post here or open a new thread. Thank you
1st if you have CRT animation then disable it by editing bools.xml
(something like animatescreenlights) set it to true.
Then u need to modify lock_screen_exit.xml or lock_screen_enter.xml(cant remrmber which exactly)under res/anim.

Ok. I got it. But this isn't the same as Screen On CRT animation. This is an animation which comes after you unlock the screen right?
Yes..!!after you swipe to unlock then the screen blinks and unlockes..

I just hope ANDROIDCUSTOMIZe posts his framework-res.apk , PowerManagerService.smali and PowerManagerService$BrightnessState.smali . Then i guess everybody will be able to work this thing out. I will post the compiled framework-res.apk and services.jar when it works.
Not getting past the last step!
I tried everything as said on the first post. I am not able to get past the last step. I don't know which access$### to use, for some there are 3 or 4. Just hope ANDROIDCUSTOMIZe helps sooner. And i dont know where to paste that also inside the PowerManagerService$BrightnessState.smali .
I have done the whole tutorial before too...caused bootloop...i rechecked it once again..there were no errors...
But if still you want to work on it...you can ask your questions on pm or on the thread..as you like..
Edit: Also if you want help to decompile your classes.dex(from services.jar) ...i can help in that too

[HOW-TO]Change Clock Color on Status Bar in latest samsung rom (jb)

Hi , I had search every where how to change clock color on status bar in latest Samsung ROM ( JB ) but non-work
Coz its code is a bit different from other ROM. So here's how
Requirement :
SystemUI.apk
A bit knowledge about decompiling
Patience
First --->
Decompile your systemUI.apk, go res/layout/tw_status_bar.xml
Then --->
Search for this code
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock
Then --->
You will see
Code:
android:textColor="#fffefefe
behind it.
Now you may change whatever color you want by changing the code.
Here http://html-color-codes.info/ it maybe useful for you to find the color code
Note : The last 6-digit IS the color code, whereby
the two in front it is transparency.
It count by
#FF****** ( Opaque )
#00****** (Transparent )
It is recommended not to change the first two digits except you know what you are doin :laugh:
Now --->
Recompile your apk , drag resources.arsc and tw_status_bar.xml from your newly build APK to your old SystemUI.apk
Finally --->
Push your SystemUI,apk to system/app of your phone and reboot.
DONE.
DO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELP YOU !!!! CHEERS
You can change the colour of the battery text on the line above this too.
BTW, as nothing is changed in resources.arsc when you decompile, edit \layout\tw_status_bar.xml and then recompile so there's no need to replace it in your old SystemUI.apk
Just replace the modified & recompiled tw_status_bar.xml

Code:
<TextView android:textSize="12.0dip" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_network_name_separator" />
android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" changes the battery % text to ICS Blue - if you want a different colour, change the last six characters to the hex code of the clour you want.
Been looking for ages
Been looking for ages and tried lots of methods and finally one that works. And such a simple change too............
Thanks a million:good:
Hi there......
As posted earlier I have managed to get this to work but flashed using Villain Theme .zip........worked fine.
I have a small problem and would appreciate any input.......As said I changed the clock colour and at the same time altered a couple of other values in the values/dimens file as below to 100% for brighter notifications.
<item type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha">100.0%</item>
<item type="dimen" name="tw_status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha">100.0%</item>
However, when I recompile the values folder is not present in the recompiled build/res folder but the other I changed was. Can anyone tell me why? It would be very helpful to know if I am doing something wrong when recompiling.....
Many thanks in advance:fingers-crossed:

[Q] how to change the System Wallpaper

I looked all over the forum and i'm not able to change the system wallpaper...its the picture that shows up in the laucher when you first boot up from flashing a rom...I have gone into framework.res.apk and i changed the 2 jpg in one folder and another fold had a deafault_wallpaper. i flashed the rom and it still shows up the old wallpaper...where else does that main default wallpaper is because its not changing when i edit the framework apk.
I used 7Zip to edit. any leads anyone???

Not sure I know which wall you are referring. Don't remember there being any special wallpaper after flashing a rom. Usually shows whatever the dev has cooked in. What is the picture of?

It might help if we knew some important details like which ROM you're using.

You can just change the wallpaper in settings display or just touch and hold on screen and change wallpaper there.

I was playing with this a while back but I dont remember much and im not at home to help you but actually you need to check this in a computer with either winrar or 7zip. I was only able to find the lockscreen wallpaper but I couldnt find the default wallpaper itself.

If im correct and i remembered it should be in*/system/framework/framework-res.apk
--> then in*\res\drawable-xxhdpi-v4
The file is called*default_wallpaper.jpg
Or something like that.

Ha sorry I just skimmed thru your post. I think you also have to do something with launcher.apk to make it work.

I do not know what you are trying to do, but the default wallpaper for the MF9 base is
in the framework-res.apk drawable/xxhdpi/default_wallpaper.png
Your welcome.

I tried to change it and when I flashed the rom with the new default wallpaper it kept giving me systemui error throught out the intial set up once booted....I used zip7 to make the changes and once I was done with the set up unstead of a background picture it was just a black screen. Any suggestions on how to change it without getting an error im building my own rom and thats the only thing I got left to do. I can change tge boit animation, add tweaks etc but I cant manage to change the default wallpaper.

I've never had any luck using 7zip to modify apks correctly. Try using Winrar or APK tools. Make the pic resolution same as stock (I think it is 1920x1920). Also, the images are png not jpg.
