Text Color Change (Complete how to do)

[thebowers]

I downloaded all files in the original post, followed instructions, and getting the same error...
C:\>java -jar colorChangev3.jar
Unable to access jarfile colorChangev3.jar

unzipped jar file is on c, framework.zip is on desktop, java freshly installed...I even tried adding .zip to the end of the command as others said it had worked for them... any idea why I can't get it working?

Don't unzip the jar file, just remove the .zip from it. This will work with the Froyo leak.

< > means required, [ ] means optional
<theme.zip> - Android theme update file (not a full ROM update)
[ticker] - ARGB color for ticker notifications on the status bar
[clock] - ARGB color for the clock text
[date] - ARGB color for the date

[latest] - ARGB color for "Notifications" Label
[none] - ARGB color for "No Notifications" Label
[clear] - ARGB color for text on Clear Notifications button
[network] - ARGB color for network name (T-Mobile usually)
[roam] - Not sure where this color shows up, possibly network name when roaming

Progress Bar Color Change (Must specify BOTH at once)
[progressBarBackground] - Progress bars background color
[progressBarForeground] - Progress bars foreground color

[debug] - Turns on debugging output
[zipDebug] - Turns on zip debugging output
[goFull] - Force updater to process a full rom instead of just templates

Example 1) java -Xmx512M -jar colorChangev3.jar themeXYZ.zip ticker=FFFF0000 date=FFFF0000 clock=FFFF0000
This will change ticker, date, and clock to red

Example 2) java -Xmx512M -jar colorChangev3.jar themeXYZ.zip clear=FFFFFFFF network=FF0000FF
This will change the clear notifications button text to white and network name (usually T-Mobile) to blue
Example 3) java -Xmx512M -jar colorChangev3.jar themeXYZ.zip clear=FFFFFFFF network=FF0000FF debug zipDebug
Same as example 2 but with debug and zipDebug turned on

It just gives me an error for the color changer if I don't add the .zip in there

What version of windows are you using?

 

[CorCor67]

Windows 2k pro, dual boot with linux mint 8 helina, but for some reason LM doesn't recognize my pantech UMW190 modem from verizon on dual boot, so not able to d/l from the repository. If it would help from linux, I can dl everything in windows, reboot to linux and install that way.

Bump...anybody know what the problem is?

Try the color code as FFCCCCCC instead. Otherwise I can make one for you with the color code. Just let me know what rom you need it for.

 

[CorCor67]

I get the same error...need it for bugless beast v1.1 thanks for all your help, I can attach the services jar if needed

if you ever figure out the problem please let me know, I'd like to know for future references. If I ever figure it out I'll update

Working on froyo theme today, tried a few different things and got it to work with this... had to move framework.zip to C drive, must have had my directories wrong or something. Thanks

C:\>java -Xmx512M -jar colorChangev3.jar.zip framework.zip ticker=FFCCCCCC date=FFCCCCCC clock=FFCCCCCC gofull

When i did the color changes I did no include the "gofull" part of the command.

A thing i had trouble with was the correct formatting of the framework.zip file. Inside the framework.zip should be a "framework" folder. Inside the framework folder you put services.jar and framework-res.apk

Seems pretty tedious lol but thanks for the write up, i might need to learn this!

I am going to add my notes to this post in hope it will help someone. These are xml changes I made for froyo to get white text in the status bars and widgets.

- Change Status Bar Text White

> framework-res.apk
[res\layout\status_bar.xml]
08 00 00 1C - Replace hex after this with FF FF FF FF (there are 2 of these) (should look like this in hex 08 00 00 1C FF FF FF FF)
[res\layout\status_bar_latest_event_content.xml]
08 00 00 1C - Replace hex after this with FF FF FF FF (there are 3 of these)

> DownloadProvider.apk
[res\layout\status_bar_ongoing_event_progress_bar.x ml]
08 00 00 1C - Replace hex after this with FF FF FF FF (there are 3 of these)

> MusicGoogle.apk
[res\layout\statusbar.xml]
44 - Replace with 41
45 - Replace with 42

> Pandora.apk
[res\layout\statusbar.xml]
44 - Replace with 41 (there are two of these)
45 - Replace with 42 (there are two of these)

- Change widget text to white

> Facebook.apk
[res\layout-land\widget_view.xml, res\layout-port\widget_view.xml]
01 BF 00 02 7F - Share Button Txt - Replace with 1C FF FF FF FF
01 C0 00 02 7F - Main body txt - Replace with 1C FF FF FF FF
01 BD 00 02 7F - Post time txt - Keep grey, no change

> Twitter.apk
[res\layout-land\widget_large_view.xml, res\layout-land\widget_small_view.xml, res\layout-port\widget_large_view.xml, res\layout-port\widget_small_view.xml]
01 04 00 07 7F - Main body txt - Replace with 1C FF FF FF FF
01 05 00 07 7f - (1st)Post Time - Replace with 1C FF FF FF FF, (2nd)Retweeted by - Keep grey, no change

Thanks Mr. Bowers sir and I was wondering,

does anyone have the colorChange.jar file that they can share? I don't want to join another site just to DL one file. I've got the text color changed for the small text in the notbar and the text in the notifications that appear in the drop down (see attached). However, the custom text is still white and the "ongoing" and "notifications" text is still white (see attached).

I thought it would be cool to change these up a bit. Do I need the colorChange.jar file for these? The chages I've done already are just with the xml files.

Thanks

I really need to update the op. Main thing you need colorchange3.jar for is to edit the services.jar file without editing smali. The services.jar controls date,time,ticker,carrier,the words none,ongoing,latest.

I would upload the file for you but not at a computer right now.

As always, I appreciate the effort. Will watch for it when I get home tonight
