1 Backup
2 Wipe /data (optional on 2.2 or mandatory if coming from 2.3)
3 Wipe /cache & dalvik cache (just to be safe)
4 Install ROM
5 Reboot

After working very, very hard on this (like, all night, mostly because there was some moron who promised "white text" with the same algorithm that produced "red text"... not you, but somebody else), I give you... A white clock.

Installing/flashing this one over would look something like this, from your computer.

adb push services.jar /sdcard/services.jar
adb shell
$ su
# cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
# exit
adb reboot

I'm clueless on how to make themes or ROMs so be nice to all the poor shmucks out there (e.g. me) and turn this into one for us (me) for whoever needs it? And the carrier name color looks funky on my phone too...

Edit 4: I think I made a mistake about how I installed this jar file... it seems to have to be done via ADB to work at all. Otherwise the phone crashes badly.

services.jar (white clock)

Anybody can change the clock color by using apktool to decompile services.jar (you don't need to change its extension).

From there, go to com/android/server/status and edit StatusBarIcon.smali.

.line60
const v6,0xFFFFFFFF

...in the format AARRGGBB, I believe... two hexidecimal digits for alpha, two for red, two for green, two for blue. If you don't know what digits you color is, use the color picker on a free photo editing program (like GIMP) to find out.

My example above creates white with full opacity. You don't have to invert the hex or write it backwards or anything, so don't sweat it

updated OP with white clock

Just two questions now:

Is the standard Rom necessary? Austrie is using just the oddball version... If it could be ignored you could probably halve your development work

And what about the carrier text? It shows up as black (on black) for me, a relatively minor thing to fix but still...

And otherwise this mod is stinkin' amazing. Edit: my phone finally gave up on using a custom kernel so I returned it to stock. Disappointing but I didn't especially need the increased performance...

Carrier text was supposed to be like engraving (not contrasting) ; and my phone doesn't like the oddball kernel so i dev for my phone first; and then i dev for the rest of the other phones. I wouldn't have made an oddball version immediately except someone at androidforums.com requested it. So now i just include both downloads cause i need the regular kernel in mine.

Fair enough, it's easy to apply a kernel without much effort, and since my phone now hates all of them I just flashed stock anyway.

Updates........ Check [OP]

And more updates....... 11:20am

And more updates........ 2:20pm

Redownloading to test just because it's small(er) and my phone is the only Internet connection I have... while you work on your Gingerbread rendition and I try to play catch-up on how you make ROMs.

Anyway...
