Framework Factory V2

[Guest]

thanks, though i don't need it , have you got your AXMLPrinter2 working?? mine is giving exceptions :@ and i can't edit the codes without it

Yeah, mate you can just follow EXACTLY what the guy does in the video in the hex editor.

1) Open up an original (i.e. not my modified one) status_bar.xml in a hex-editor (I use HxD Hex Editor)

2) Do a search for the code he uses in the video, you need to search twice and instead of putting FF FF FF etc where he does, put your hexadecimal colour code.

Go on, give it a try :)

P.S. Yeah I get exceptions too :(

P.P.S. If you want me to edit up a few different status_bar.xml files or even a complete framework-res.apk file let me know. Give me some time though if you do. :)

porting a theme is not that hard only if you have all the things working, the thing with Elegent Theme is that you have to change lots of colors and for that i guess you need to have XML > Txt converter,

P.S is ther any other way to get XML > Txt?

programming/coding is not my stuff too, infact am a business student, its just that i got love for this stuff, and i try to learn this stuff

Found our way around to edit XML :)

- Download Apktool ( download the first two files for windows and extract them in same folder and make sure you have smali.jar too)

now run this command to decode your .apk files

apktool d framework-res.apk


now you can edit XML files in notepad, once done


give this command


apktool b <location decoded .apk e.g c:\framework-res\ >  [/codebox]

the apk file will be coded in /dist/

Thanks mate! That helps with modding my phone's look no end!

I've been using the Android Phone 7 layout for the last few days but what I'd like to do is to remove the clock from the notification bar as I'm using a clock widget as well.

Any ideas how to remove the clock from the notification bar?

Cheers :)

[Guest MIKEYMC]

Make it the same colour as the bar would be easiest way I reckon.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it but would prefer to remove it completely and allow the battery bar and signal meter to sit in its place.

Thanks anyway!

[Guest cobhc]

A port of this including icons would be amazing!

Here's the Desire V2 theme fixed for Froyo (2.2) - I changed the Network text (Expanded Status Bar - Where it says Vodafone, T-Mobile, etc) to White if that's OK with the original themer.

Just flash with ClockWork recovery.

I used Colour Change to make the change to the network text.

I also found a nice little guide that may help those of you into theming your phone.

EDIT - New version. I forgot to add the fonts from the 2.1 version.

Hi, what does this theme change exactly? It seems to just change the notification bar to black, which is nice btw. Thanks.

Just bits and bobs, really. Different colour status bar, different colour when you select something in apps/settings/etc, It's my favourite colour scheme so I thought I'd have a go at fixing it for Froyo. Currently fixing the icons for Elegant Steel :) Stops me getting bored.... :)

[Guest]

OK, I finished fixing Elegant Steel for Froyo too, it's cool finding about how to change the look of the phone. :)

Just flash it with Clockwork recovery.

Great thanks! How does one revert back to the stock theme afterwards?
