[HOW TO] change date color on JB lockscreen (4.1.2) & AccuWeatherWidget

[jackq]

I searched on XDA and doesn't find a guide how to change date color on JB 4.1.2 lockscreen.
So i decided share a method how i do it.
Decompile framework-res.apk
go to:
framework\layout-hdpi\keyguard_circlelock_clockwidget.xml
framework\layout-hdpi\keyguard_circlelock_clockwidget_land.xml
framework\layout-sw320dp-hdpi\keyguard_circlelock_clockwidget_sub.xml

search f6f7c9 color in this layouts and replace it to desired color (all values 3x in each file).

The same in AccuWeatherWidget.apk
Decompile AccuWeatherWidget.apk
go to:
res/values/colors.xml
and replace <color name="date_zone_text">#fff6f7c9</color> to desired color.

It works on LSJ, LS8, LSD, MS1. All Samsung JB based ROM for GS2.

Happy changing

If you have problem with de/re-compiling apk you can use http://apkmultitool.com/
With this program i don't have any problems.

Download latest apk multitool.
Unzip, now copy attached files to "other" folder and copy framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from your ROM base.
Now run bat scripts framework if and twframework if, this will automatically add sources.
Enjoy decompiling and recomiling.
