I've been using this fix on my own mods, as you can see from my screenies. Since editing androids xml files is an absolute pain in the arse, I've choosen to edit two png's with great effect. The two files are located within your roms framework-res.apk, so this edit isn't for your everyday user. A poor edit of your framework-res.apk can leave your current rom crippled. Having said that the two files are both located in "framework-res.apk / res / drawable-hdpi". Within drawable-hdpi, the files are "divider_horizontal_bright_opaque.9.png" and "divider_horizontal_dark.9.png". Be aware that the files used to produce that line may be different in different roms. I use this currently in a modified version of Trigger 2.9.2, without problems.
One method you may want to use to edit these files is by using an app from the market called "NinjaMorph". It allows you to edit apks on your phone.
And for those wondering, my rotary is completely custom, with an LCD density set to 200. At that density my screen width is actually 580px, so all related files need to be edited accordingly. Have fun...

Thanks! nice mod. i love messing with my framework a lil
- are you saying just to delete those 2 .png's from framework?
- also what horizontal line are you referring too? attached is a pic of mine and i dont see anything really that could be removed
Oh I think i see the line, is it above the charging and below the date?
EDIT -
- LOL, ok so its definitely not just DELETE those 2 .png's if anyone does that ur gonna bootloop(at least i did) restore nandroid and try again. I'm gonna try maybe to replace the .png with a different pic we'll see. I have a transparent .jpg ill try out.
- I wonder what about the exact opposite .png's? "divider_horizontal_bright_.9.png" and "divider_horizontal_dark_opaque.9.png"
I'll keep playing with it
Appoligies for the belated reply...
Firstly, never, ever, ever, just delete things from your framework-res file. Like I said, It'll cripple your rom.
Second, I apologize for not clarifying, I attached the 2 files to my post. But like a retard, I forgot, ((( They're Transparent PNG Files!!!! ))) lol.. they're attached to my post, you just can't see them because they're quite literally, "invisible". Here's the relevant Links.

And yes, your spot on with the horizontal line location. It can be seen in virtually all rom's with a rotary lock.

I'd like to either get rid of the words or expand the box that they're in so you can see the whole thing. I'm assuming that they're in an xml file in the twframework somewhere but can't seem to put my finger on it. Any help is greatly apprreciated.
you have to edit the image itself, since its not expanding automatically im gonna assume its not a 9patch image, so you have to add to the bottom of the image so it doesn't get cut off, or you can just remove a part of the image so that it doesn't show the text
Thanks for the reply. I had thought of that and the image is just the icons not the words. I searched through every image looking for those words to no avail
Edit: changed my font and it changed the font of the words so its definitely coded in somewhere

Status bar expanded in twframework res. That file is quirky though. Snag the file from the trigger theme and test it
If you want to edit it yourself, remove the / from each /@layout and just find the layout for the controls and decrease the height.

I tried the switcheroo but it didn't work. I opened the .xml file using notepad ++ but have no clue what I'm looking at. I took html in high school but this is a little over my head. I was hoping to see numbers I could easily change but that was not the case. Thanks for your help!
edit: scratch that didn't decompile it right. Think I got it now....
I finally got it.
I pinpointed that status_bar_header_background and status_bar_header_background_01 were my culprits. I ended up just using the ones from the sgs2 theme and painting them black.
Thanks everyone for the help!
there are a lot of threads/posts on the forum with moded phones.apk to display bigger contacts pictures, i already tried a lot of phone.apk's and none of these are working fine in our galaxy ace (FC), maybe someone can do it?
i already tried to modify the xml files, but i got a lot of errors when compiling the apk and i don't even know if im right with some values (my first try doing something like this hehe)
yes, i know there is an apk called full screen caller id, but i like more the "android" style.
examples:

im not asking for a full screen because of contacts pictures limitations, etc. i just would love to have a slightly bigger contact picture.
thanks

i am using Smart CallerID
i am also searching for modification of phone.apk.
this would be nice ... the only mod i managed to do with success on phone apk was changing that horrible green background ... bigger picture sizer would be awsome!
What's up everybody
I wanted to play around with the HTC_IME Keyboard so I themed it.
Right now I have to versions I made one for my Orange Theme and one for Mayfield103's awesome Honeycomb theme!!!
These are just the first couple I most likely will do more if people want, but I just wanted something new on my phone.
If you have requests let me know.
Shout out to Roscoenr for getting me started.

It is a little easier and harder than that. Go here and dl the templates http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229276. they are .9.pngs so do not remove the black lines around the key (you will see what I mean). Then you have to recompile the pngs (but I did without by accident and it still worked). There are alot of tutorials out there about 9patch but the tool I found to be most useful is the tool here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html. once I recompiled with that tool I used 7zip to open the apk and drop them in the drawable-hdpi folder. It is not that hard but may have to try a few times to get it just right. PM me if you run into any trouble.
Ohhhhh so you first decompile the apk..... take out the drawable res folder.... edit the png you need .9 .... then run ultimate to hide the black lines ... After that just replace the drawable res folder in the original HTC-IME.apk that is not decompiled using 7zip and use adb to replace the apk

Yup Basically. I am not a photoshop guru so I used the templates because they are easier to add color to imo. But that is it. You could flash too. If u push with adb still have to reboot.
Next step for these is text color won't be too hard. Just need free time lol
Root it and Boot it

Is it possible for us to have those shiny panels on android?
Then we can place icons/shortcut on top of it to make them stand out?
*Note*
I remembered i could do that thing with window mobile phones
Seems like nobody knows the answer to this, please share knowledge if you have an idea
if those are just png files in android then I'm pretty sure you can but you or someone would have to make them look like that as in coloring the old image file from whatever apk those apply to then reload the edited apk back onto your android phone. So I'm saying yes with a more experienced package creator. I myself have been doing my own editing and picture creating, just haven't figured out how to properly compact the apk yet.

Those are panels in the mobile sense i believe they're not png files, its more like widgets i believe? then we can place an icon/shortcuts on top of that to makes them stand out
am still a noob in android world, but i think it can be done so am following this thread hoping to find an answer soon
Yes

Android Creators/developers/etc... look to look into something like this
So we can make the home screen icons look even more stand out with the shade/shiny panels...
The original screen is still cool but it a bit plain to my opinion
I was hoping someone could please PhotoShop or similar some icons for me/ the community...
144x144 RGB .png
96x96 RGB .png
48x48 RGB .png
72x72 RGB .png
I was hoping that these would look similar to this icon but without the gold.
I made a play store 4.1.6 chelpus proper with the old black gold icon.

I like this.

Was thinking something similar for the current icon.
if anyone needs the icons .... attached.
I only know of 4 icons in the apk. There might be more? I do not know the structure 100%.
But I would appreciate it if anyone with good shop skills could make the shopping cart black or grey and have it still look good. I tried and the WHOLE bag came out black with no depth to the icon. I just used the quick selection tool
help is appreciated.
I used the muCommander to edit the apk by renaming it to .zip
To install the one I posted it needs to be draged and dropped into /system/app/
I just read the description for this section.. MODS please fix/ move
Anyone?
Please help with some photoshop skills.
Something like this ?

Actually, yeah, I like that. Pretty much what I was looking for. Much appreciated. Now to rebuild Google Play again.
I know I'm pushing it with this handout. BUUTTTT. any chance of a slight gradient on the front of the bag similar to the "Attached Thumbnail" version? I'm just going to use the ones you posted for now but interested to see how the gradient version would look.
Also, hate to be picky. But the Transparent background needed for the icons. Its white.
There is a gradient on them, just watch close (or maybe move your screen and you'll see it).
And i've uploaded 4 PNGs with no background, don't know why the forum has added one to the 144x144.png...
Btw, get this pack from here, they'll have no background :
