Looks good!! Where it says type to compose message in that box, do you want that to be orange as well? If so just let me know I know where the setting is for that and it affects it system wide for anytime you type in a textfield box.

yeah that sounds like something i would like to try
Was rereading this how to like I had never seen it before hoping I missed something and I did. I misread something and now I need to know how to do it correctly
Download and extract Apk Manager. I usually place this in the tools directory of the Android SDK. If you do this you need to set the environment path for the directory for aapt.exe of apktool.jar to work correctly.
ok so is that an addition to path like ;c:\androidsdk\tools\other\
cause aapt.exe and apktool.jar are both in there.
And for the record, I do realize that when you guys read this you have to be thinking i am an idiot. I'm ok with that as long as I get it to work.
;c:\androidsdk\tools\other\
Thats how mine looks also.
And for the sdk you only need to set the path. not class path.
So you should have a path for jdk, have a path for sdk tools, and have a path to aapt.exe and apktool.jar which you have.
Well I still get error 21.
Let me show you EXACTLY what I have. And adk is in tools just like yours and I am putting the framework-res.apk that I have never touched into the "for modding" folder.
CLASSPATH C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\
PATH: .;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\;C:\androidsdk\tools;C:\androidsdk\tools\other\
As per a very helpful user on this thread, I downloaded the jdk from java.com. It installed it although I don't see a path to it cause my c:\program files (x86) folder only has Java (which was already there) and now a JRE folder. No JDK folder. WHich to me is odd because it installed successfully it said.
And I did download the 64 bit drivers for everything that gave me an option of 32bit or 64bit.
I hope that's right cause when I click on new and do PATH and then type in the path to something else seperately, it just goes away. Like there can be only one PATH variable.
I think my computer has been watching The Highlander on HULU when I am away.

yeah,i was referring to changing the color of the text in the banner,is that in the keyguard too
I will post the log.txt file when I get home from work tonight. I have just been going at this so hard the last few days, I have my classpath and path memorized.
Heck maybe I'll just try it here at work after lunch and post up. I finished my stuff for the week so I am just basically here seeing if I can get ahead for next week.

is there a way to load my edited framework-res.apk or a rom into the sdk emulator so i can see the edits i made or is flashing it to my device the only way.
Ive done it that way to see how some themed apps looked cuz I could push them to the emulator after it was running. I'm not sure where you would have to put the famework-res.apk cuz it would need to be there when it first started up. The emuator always took forever to load up on my machine, it was much faster to push an update.zip to the phone and reboot to recovery.
Where did that custom message on your lock screen come from? Was that an app or is that part of a rom?

its part of the rom (ultimate droid 5.0.1) im sure you could prolly copy the code and put it on yours,also i can have music controls on the lockscreen, the codes for it are in my prevous posts

was you trying to sign it, are you using a stock framework-res.apk. one thats not been themed. do you get that error when you do option 9 or what.
You may have just answered this for me.
I am not trying to sign it, I'm just trying to decompile it. The error comes when I hit option 9 BUT framework-res.apk was pulled directly from my phone after I installed (and it's still installed) the red glass theme for bb 0.4 by Cuttalott. I like the theme I was just trying to make the text red instead of stock white.
Do I need a 100% stock framework? If so, where do I get that? Mine's long gone. Also, If I went with a stock one, would I not only have to change the text color but everything else as well or can I then incorporate it into red glass framework? Or would I actually need to have Cuttalotts framework and change it? (Which obviously isn't ever going to happen)
I think now it seems to me that I am making my own theme here.
