The error about adb, is that in the command window of apk manager? I ask cause I get an error in that all the time and it still works fine.

exactly, i noticed on the xda site with the apk manager download,that the version betwwen linux and windows is different,anyway im in windows and it seems to work,i pulled the framework-res.apk out of the rom/theme im running,decompiled it and opened up keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml. i did a search for 08 00 00 1C and it finds nothing,i downloaded your example you provided and is currently compareing, yours differes by alot from the one im working with.


i understand that you added the color string codes so we dont have to do the whole process but if i use the ones you provided and place in my framework-res.apk after i change everything, wouldnt it mess up my apk that came with the rom,as i can add the music controls on my lockscreen and the xml you provided might not have those codes in it, sorry for my noob uestions or whatever.

The search for 08 00 00 1c only works if there are color codes already in there. Hence that is why I added them. Those two xml file are just for the clock, date, charging and alarm text settings. They should be the same rom wide (as I don't see why anyone would change those xml's from source)

As for this music from the lockscreen. What rom are you running?

As for bgills pics. Yes you can add color to just about anywhere. That is the beauty of apk manager decompiling the xmls and letting you manual edit them and the compile back to binary. You can have a custom color text rom wide. Now that I let the cat out of the bag who is going to get it out first! I knew I should have kept my mouth shut

We need to have a common place for people to place their findings.

Added a little more to the OP post about button text and the menu text. Basically how to do a custom color instead of the the defined ones in the color.xml file. I will take a break from this thread to get back to the theme I am currently working on.
