You have the correct framework resources installed?wow, because I just got a ton of errors, and I just had to download the 64bit version of java sdk, I forgot to do that when I got the new laptop last week. But this is what I just seen

Ah I forgot to load the framework file, good call man...
And you know whats funny, is Ive found the name/location of this file the hard way, and Ive been told twice before. Either the files are just really wacky this time around, or that file name/location is a curse for me
. Ive seen it be a single dot.9 patch fill file (really small), and Ive seen it be a bigger image, and Im still looking. But my eyes are killing me now.

I remember you saying something about that a few months ago on the ET4G. I looked but couldn't find anything that looked like it might be it, more importantly I didn't find anything in the xml files that would point to that.
If you haven't seen it go back to my last post on page 2. That is what I found in the xml files.
Yeah, well if I remember right it was always a file, not an xml edit. The hard way was to add diff color dots to each black image I came across in drawable-hdpi on the et4g, now xhdpi, but that took forever. I may have to do the same thing. But ill ask around first, maybe tomorrow. Im about to be gettin down for the fourth At home this year, but still fun. So I wont post in anyones theme thread just yet, since Id rather people have fun today
Edit, and the thread your thinking of was for the actually notification box, like when you get a text message. But I have had several of those threads also. The one where you helped was an xml edit because it was for cm9 I think.

Haven't done a whole lot of ICS themeing (GB use to be so much easier), and especially not with TouchWiz. Anyway, I have the following questions in reference to the screen shot below. Most of these changes, if not all, I believe are in the SystemUI. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
1) How the hell do you get rid of the carrier ID? Also, if I wanted to move it to where the date currently is in the notification menu, how would this be accomplished?
2) How do I change the quick menu toggle color? Is it a hexcode or a png... haven't been able to find it anywhere? Maybe in the framework-res?
3) For future's sake & reference which xml is this color at (the background for the toggles)?
4) How do I right align the date by the settings button?
5) Text color location for this?
6) Background Color for this?
F.Y.I. This apk manager works perfect for decompiling and recompiling the systemui and framework-res, for the SGS3. Don't forget to install your framework-res first.

How do I de-compile any of the touchwiz apk's.
ApkManager doesn't work anymore.
Is there anything else fairly simple that we could use to de-compile?
EDIT: saw the post above with the link to the new apkmanager.
thanks.
will give that a try.

apkmanager works fine. Just make sure you install the framework resources. I also had issues with decompiling the systemui from clarks rom. PhantomHackers worked fine.
@TeamERA:
Found it, and it is an xml. tw_status_bar_tracking.xml
I changed it to #88000000 and it became semi-transparent.
@Swiftks: We don't have the carrier in the status bar on the Sprint version. It's in the location where you want it on yours, same with the date.
Found it, and it is an xml. tw_status_bar_tracking.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TrackingView android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingLeft="0.0px" android:paddingRight="0.0px" android:paddingBottom="0.0px" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TrackingView>@Swiftks: We don't have the carrier in the status bar on the Sprint version. It's in the location where you want it on yours, same with the date.
So whats the color code for 95% transparent?
Edit: actually, Im thinking gimp, what I mean to say is adding 5% transparency.
#F2000000 would be very close.
Think I might have found the location of the carrier id label for those that have it on the status bar.
tw_status_bar.xml
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/carrierLabel" android:background="#ff000000" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingRight="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Could anyone help me on how to revert a transparent status bar (not pull down) back to being 100% non transparent?
Also could anyone tell me what to edit to change the order for which the toggles appear?
"All this knowledge is giving me a raging brainer!"

Why is the status bar not transparent? So far I've found 2 places where you can change the status bar back ground. One is the drawables.xml and the other is in the tw_status_bar.xml.
The toggles is smali. If you would want to tackle that sbrissen or Maddoggin is who I would ask, but you had better have some java and smali experience before even asking them about this.
Off top of my head you need to change the color in drawables xml back to black and change the status bar smali back to const 0x4 (transparent line is -0x3).
Ok in StatusBar.smali
Code:
const/16 v16, -0x3
Code:
const/16 v16, 0x4Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk

Did you have to adjust the status bar smali or were you able to do it with an alpha adjustment in the drawables.xml?

20Since themeing Samsung's TouchWiz UI is not quite as simple as AOSP, and sometimes even device specific, I thought it would be nice to have thread for the themers here to help each other, post tips and things like that so we can all learn and get some killer themes going on this thing.
Also, (if this gets becomes a sticky) we can keep the themeing question threads to a minimum.
For those of you that don't know me, I've been themeing Android for about a year and a half now. I started on the Epic 4G then moved over to the Nexus S 4G. I'm always willing to help others as time permits.
Happy Themeing!

tw_quick_setting_button.xml in SystemUI.apk as TextView.Am having trouble locating the text color right under the toggles, can someone point me in the right direction?

since i'm no longer working on Settings.apk, i don't have one decompiled in front of me. your Settings text is made of up a headers .xml (settings_headers.xml?). iirc, the text colors/size are called in by res\values\styles.xml. i would check the settings headers to verify this and find which style it's specifically asking for.Im looking for where to change a couple of text colors. Can anybody help with these please. The first one is in the Settings down below.
Please excuse the sloppy arrows and circles.
Settings
And second, I see it has already been asked about, but it's driving me crazy.
Notification Pulldown
Thanks in advance if anybody can help me with these.
in regards to notification color, because there is no text style being called in, i believe this is part of the policy in SystemUI, esp since it has Layout in the name - com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.NotificationRowLayout
