Tutorial:
1. Decompile Settings.apk
2. Download the Tutorial.zip in attachments View attachment Color_Settings_tut.zip
3. Replace the LinearColorBar.smali from downloads into your smali\com\android\settings\applications folder
4. Place the sonymobile folder inside smali\com.
This will make your Ram Curve color changing according to theme accent.
5. Now, downloaded zip inside resources and paste the three pngs inside res drawable-nodpi or drawable-hdpi folder of your Settings.
semc_progress_bg_holo_dark.9.png
semc_progress_primary_holo_dark_colored.9.png
semc_progress_secondary_holo_dark_colored.9.png

6. Now, go to res/drawable folder and open data_usage_bar.xml and replace everything with this code
PHP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="@android:id/background" android:drawable="@drawable/semc_progress_bg_holo_dark" />
<item android:id="@android:id/secondaryProgress">
<scale android:drawable="@drawable/semc_progress_secondary_holo_dark" android:scaleWidth="100%" />
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/progress">
<scale android:drawable="@drawable/semc_progress_primary_holo_dark" android:scaleWidth="100%" />
</item>
</layer-list>
7. Now write a NEW xml named semc_progress_primary_holo_dark.xml inside res/drawable and paste the code
PHP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<colorizable android:drawable="@drawable/semc_progress_primary_holo_dark_colored" android:color="@color/theme_accent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
8. Now write a NEW xml named semc_progress_secondary_holo_dark.xml inside res/drawable and paste the code
PHP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<colorizable android:drawable="@drawable/semc_progress_secondary_holo_dark_colored" android:color="@color/theme_accent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
This will add colorization for the battery and data usage bar.
9. Go to res/values/colors.xml and add this color
PHP:
<color name="theme_accent">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:color/semc_theme_accent_color</color>
10. Open apktool.yml and it should have the following code
Code:
...
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
[COLOR="Red"]- 2[/COLOR]
...
For an apk to take colorizable attributes from SemcGeneric it should be declared in apktool.yml.
Here -2 ids means SemcGenricUxpRes.apk
9. Recompile Settings.apk and Done!
