What you will need:
-Apk Manager (Click)
-Android SDK (Click)
-An image editor, Adobe Photoshop is recommended!
-One brain.. (Edit: Half a brain is needed, not the full thing)
-Two hands..
-Fingers, 10 of them recommended!
-framework-res.apk
-twframework-res.apk
-services.jar (If you want to change the clock color)
How-to edit the apks:
1.) Get your two apk files (framework-res.apk & twframework-res.apk)
2.) Place them in apk-manager/place-apk-here-for-modding/
3.) Open apk-manager/script.bat
4.) Select option 22
5.) Select framework-res.apk
6.) Select option 1
7.) Select option 22
8.) Select twframework-res.apk
9.) Select option 1
10.) Go to apk-manager/projects/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi (or /drawable-hdpi-v4)
11.) Edit the .png files that you would like to change
12.) Go to apk-manager/projects/twframework-res/apk/res/drawable-hdpi (or /drawable-hdpi-v4)
13.) Edit the .png files that you would like to change
14.) Go back to script.bat
15.) Select option 22
16.) Select framework-res.apk
17.) Select option 3
18.) Select option 22
19.) Select twframework-res.apk
20.) Select option 3
(Don't zipalign)
21.) There will be two files in your place-here-for-modding folder.. They are called unsingedframework-res.apk & unsingedtwframework-res.apk just backup the originals, and delete the unsinged from part from the two new files.
How-to edit services.jar, clock color:
1.) Go to your SDK folder.. example: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2.) Get your services.jar file & open it with winrar
3.) Take the classes.dex from it & put it in your android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder
4.) Open CMD
5.) Run the following command: "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" (directory may not be the same)
6.) Run the following command: "java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex"
7.) Go to classout\com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali
8.) On line 34 it will look something like: "const/4 v7, -0x1"
9.) On line 34 change the above to: "const v7, 0xffffff" (That will be black)
10.) Compile the classes.dex by using this command: "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex"
11.) Get the new-classes.dex from android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder & move it to your desktop
12.) Rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex
13.) Re-open the services.jar using winrar & past your new classes.dex in there
(Notice: After editing the clock color, it will take longer to boot the first time! Be patient!)
I may update this if people need an even easier guide...

Nice dude thanks
This is awesome.
shouldnt you be able to change the ffffff in "const v7, 0xffffff" to whatever color you want?
Yeah, you can change it to whatever you want.. When I get home I'll add the directions to change the text color in the pull down and market downloads...

It would actually be
"const v7, 0xffff0000" for red, etc. But yes, you can change that value.
Possibly one of the most helpful threads. Just enough to make me feel I have 1/2 a brain.

Hey I'm new to this and first of all thank you so much for this!
Second I'm having a problem, I'm stuck at "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex"
I keep getting "classout\com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali[0,0] 10145074 connot fit into a short"
I'm trying to change the status bar clock to Green.
Thank you again.

What hex code are you using
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Sorry I wasn't using my half a brain I found my mess up I over looked the "const/4"
I will take it that I don't need apk manager. Just need to unpack, repack, and sign. I could also just use a Hex editor to change the colors on the things I would like to change such as date, notification text, etc.. Just like I did with the G1.

I am pretty sure you can't use Hexedit to edit the Clock. You need to decompile it.
Also, you don't sign /system apks
Awesome! I barely qualify as a 1/2 brain. ApkManager is sweet simple program that does the job. In the many times I have used it, I noticed that recompilation of the files are not clean after images have been change/edit. So I always optimize images inside (option 2) everytime I recompile. Does this help and worth doing?
BTW: what xml editor are you guys using? Some of the ones that I downloaded are crap.

First let me note that all credit goes to FxN. I simply am updating the code for the Droid 2. Thank you for all the work you did FxN. Also, this is only for DeOdexed phones.
NOTE BEFORE YOU START:
Standard disclaimer, I don't guarantee anything that might happen after following these steps, and I mean anything!! These steps worked for me and I have tried to include every minute step!
1. Connect phone using USB and check that you can see your device using: adb devices
2. in your SDK/tools directory from command line do:
PHP:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar
3. Make a backup of the services.jar file that just popped in the tools folder just in case!
4. Download smali and baksmali from http://code.google.com/p/smali/ and place them in the tools folder. Rename the files to baksmali.jar and smali.jar to save on typing later
5. Open the services.jar file with something such as winrar or 7zip or whatever you prefer
6. Copy out the classes.dex file to your SKD/tools folder
7. run following from command line:
PHP:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
8. Now browse to your new folders classout/com/android/server/status
9. Open the file StatusBarIcon.smali in something like notepad or context or any text editor
10. Locate a line that says: .line 61, under this line it should have something like:
PHP:
const/high16 v6, -0x100
11. Change this to say:
PHP:
const/high16 v6, -0x1
12. Save the file
13. Now back to the command line and from your SDK/tools folder run:
PHP:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
14. If the above finishes without errors you should have a file called new-classes.dex in your SDK/tools folder now that is the same size as your classes.dex file.
15. Rename the old classes.dex file to classes-old.dex and rename the new-classes.dex file to classes.dex
16. Open the services.jar file with your archiving tool again from step 5 and replace the existing classes.dex file with our new classes.dex we just created.
17. From command line run:
PHP:
adb remount
18. also from command line:
PHP:
adb push services.jar /system/framework/
19. Finally run:
PHP:
adb shell reboot
On step 11, this is setting the font to red. If you want white change the line to
PHP:
const v6, -0x1
Original FxN Post is sourced:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549309
Could you post a white services.jar?
I've been trying to get this to happen for a while. I thought it had to do with the method of deodexing, but it turns out it may be the services.jar itself. i've talked Xeudoxus, and he's going to take a look. Also, the way he's going to do it, will be incorporated into xUltimate, so that will make this process a billion times easier.

does this change ALL status bar text to white or just the clock?
also, would it work on nondeodexed phones?
Currently just the clock. As for the non-deodexed not sure..you should pull you current and push this and let us know

i _thought_ they were in framework-res color but i think im wrong there.
I know that there are some default values stored in the status_bar.xml as i have changed the active action such as preparing sd card and stuff like that. I am trying to at least change the date before proceeding with my theme.

i made some screen shots.. first one should say the sms text but its black so you dont see it.. second has some list items all black..
those arent the status bar and are not controlled by services.jar.
Try this framework.apk and tell me if you sms text is white.

It's in the services.jar
pull /system/framework/services.jar
.....you need to open services.jar with WinRAR or 7-Zip..
take the classes.dex from it & put it in your android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder
Run the following command from the current directory
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
Then go to classout\com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali...open it with Notepad++
Find line 34 and you'll see somthing like:
Code:
const/4 v7, -0x1
Change it to
Code:
const v7, 0xff(hex code here)
For example: for red it would be const v7, 0xffff0000
Put your color hex code after 0xff
Save your changes in Notepad++, then go back into the command prompt
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
Rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex
Put it back in the services.jar...and push it back to /system/framework
Reboot phone, NOTE: Initial boot will take a while....this is normal....if you need help...PM me
1) First of all, you need to download and install APK MANAGER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
2) Extract with WinRAR, from the ROM you want to modify, the file framework-res.apk, that you can find in the directory \System\framework\.
3) Go to the apk manager folder and place the framework-res.apk file in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding".
4) In the apk manager folder, double click on the file "Script". A cmd window will open.
5) Where it says "Please make your decision", write "22" (Set current project) and enter. Then enter "1" (to choose the first apk) and enter. Then enter "9" (Decompile apk) and enter.
The script will decompile the framework-res.apk.
6) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to projects\framework-res\res\anim\.
In this folder there are the animations of your rom. They consist in some .xml files decompiled.
7) Download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?9pf469gjjtpz9qf
8) Copy the files from the folder "anim" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes.
9) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to projects\framework-res\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml.
Modify the values in those lines:
Code:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">300</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">400</integer>
to:
Code:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">200</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">400</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">500</integer>
and add these just below:
Code:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
10) Return to Script. Enter "11" (Compile apk) and enter.
The script will rebuild the framework-res.apk.
11) You are asked if this is a system application. Enter "n" and enter.
12) Go to the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" delete the file "unsignedframework-res.apk", click with the right mouse button on "framework-res.apk" and select "7zip > Open file", delete the folder "res" and "resource.arsc", go to the folder "projects\framework-res\build\apk\" select the folder "res" and the "resource.arsc", drag to zip and close.
13) Ready, now just replace.

Can u give your aapt.exe .. I failed to compiled my framework-res.apk .. i feel the problem was the aapt.exe
i made this video for a friend, and think it helpful with some one , so i made a thread for it
(in 1:42 just delete resources.arsc)
If anyone want other video, just request for it, i'll do if i can :cyclops:
in this video, i used this tool: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1jXm_WqN2CaRWMybk42NXJSRDg/edit?usp=sharing
Ok, this is all steps:
1, Decompile SystemUI
Copy your Sony-based SystemUI.apk from system/app in phone to Apkmanager/place_here_to_modding folder
Open cmd file in APK manager, choose 9 to decompile
2, edit XML
Open file projects/SystemUI.apk/res/values/styles.xml by notepad++
Find a line have statusbar.clock (if you want change clock in status bar color, for other items, just find it's style code in this xml file)
Change color from ffffff (white opaque) in a line below to color you want ( for example : if i have a color code 00123456 (hex) means: 2 first hex number 00 is full transparent, ff is no transparent; 2 next hex numbers is green values, then 34 is green value, 56 is blue value. For each color value, 00 is zero and ff full of that color). After all changes, save the file
3, Recompile your apk:
Reopen cmd window and chosse 11, enter then y ,enter then y,enter. After that go to keep folder and delete resources.arsc. go back cmd windows and press enter. DONE, YOUR FILE IS unsignedsystemui.apk in place-apk-here-for-modding folder
i dont understand a SH#T...sorry but u can make a new video with more explanation? or something :S

What This?
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
Updated step by step
Here's how to add the minimize button to your floating multiwindows. Thanks to dwitherell for pointing me in the right direction.
WARNING: This will involve modifying a system file on your phone, if done incorrectly, will cause a bootloop. Proceed with caution! This is written from a Windows perspective, but the same can be done for Linux systems.
1) Copy the android.policy.jar from your system into a directory on your system.
2) Open it using a zip program (e.g. winrar) and extract the classes.dex file.
3) Extract using baksmali. Follow up to step #5 from this site: (thanks to adrynalyne) You will need all of the utilities listed there. For this example I used, apktool.bat, apktool.jar, smali.jar and baksmali.jar (renamed from the originals).
http://adrynalyne-teachtofish.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-decompile-and-recompile-jar.html
4) Go into the following newly created directory: out\com\android\internal\policy\impl\multiwindow and open the MultiPhoneWindowEvent.smali into a text file editor (Preferably notepad++ if on Windows).
NOTE: If there is no multiwindow folder, then it could be that its in a separate jar file.
5) Find the following lines in the file:
Code:
.line 105
iput-boolean v9, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/multiwindow/MultiPhoneWindowEvent;->ENABLED_MINIMIZED_BUTTON:Z
.line 106
iput-boolean v9, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/multiwindow/MultiPhoneWindowEvent;->ENABLED_ACTION_BAR_DOUBLE_TAPPING:Z
6) Change the v9 to v8. That will enable the value. Now it should say:
Code:
.line 105
iput-boolean v8, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/multiwindow/MultiPhoneWindowEvent;->ENABLED_MINIMIZED_BUTTON:Z
.line 106
iput-boolean v8, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/multiwindow/MultiPhoneWindowEvent;->ENABLED_ACTION_BAR_DOUBLE_TAPPING:Z
7) Save the file, and now we have to pack it back together. Run this line in a command line:
Code:
java -Xmx512M –jar smali.jar dex –o classes.dex
8) Do you have that android.policy.jar file open? Delete the classes.dex from it and add the new one you just created. After you save it, make sure the file is still called "android.policy.jar". No zip extensions.
9) Before we add it back to your phone, we need to sign it. NOT SIGNING WILL CAUSE A BOOTLOOP. For that we use the same method for signing apks. You can find that info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195680 Run the following:
Code:
java -jar SignApk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 android.policy.jar (or whatever named you called it) android.policy.jar.signed ( can be whatever name you give to your jar )
When its all done, you want to have android.policy.jar that's close to the same size as the original file you pulled from your phone.
10) Moment of truth: Now we are set to replace the file. Make sure you a do a nandroid or copy the android.policy.jar file to a different name so you can go back and restore it if something went wrong during this process. Copy the new file to an sdcard or internal memory and boot to recovery. Connect via adb shell on your computer and copy the file to /system/framework.
Code:
adb shell
#cp /sdcard (or wherever it is) /system/framework/
Set the permissions to rw-r-r and the owner to root.
Code:
#chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.jar
Code:
#chown root:root /system/framework/android.policy.jar
Or you could always put the file in an update.zip and flash it in recovery. Both methods work, however you feel comfortable in doing it.
Then reboot! Once its booting you should notice the message "Android is updating your applications" That is normal. Once everything finishes loading, your floating windows should have the minimize button present. Also, double tapping the minimized window will bring it up in full screen.
Nice looks good
That's awesome though it sails right over my head.
I'm guessing you do this on a pc.
I'll have to study this post closely to get it. Expecting a ROM update soon so probably do it after.
A video might be easier to understand if anyone wants to make one.

It does sound like a lot I agree. Just take it one step at a time and then you realize you're just:
1) Editing 2 characters in a text file
2) Packaging it back up in a .dex file
3) Replacing it in a zip.
4) Sign it like a system apk file
Kinda like theming if you think about it. Just gather all the tools and make backups of everything. The worst thing that could happen, (and I've done it) is that file is invalid and you have to pull the battery and reboot to recovery to replace it back.
