Just curious, but what device are you using? I'm new to Android, I have a Galaxy S3. Using the unofficial 4.2.1 AOKP ROM with the KT747 kernel and NovaLauncher. I am trying to change the color of most the attributes of my theme, like the signal, wifi, and battery icons. Do I need to download a whole new theme to do this? And if so, can you recommend a place to find some minimalistic, clean themes?
Greetings, quite the long winded question. Small tip for starters, doing a bit of your own research is a much better idea than waiting for unreliable people to reply (XDA Forums is your android bible, anything you're thinking of doing, research/read a ton of info from there). I have a S2. In theory changing colors is easy, you need to decompile the system files where the lines of code have the hex code colors for those icons and, change that hex code to whatever color you want, recomplile, upload to phone and voila! Probably not an advisable venture. The theme I am using is linked to GPlay, which probably means there are more than one. CM10/10.1, AOKP, AOSPA roms run on the T-Mobile theme engine. So searching GPlay for aokp theme, will bring up a big list and again, XDA will have all the forums for those themes. Few are free most are paid. Hope that helps.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I'm used to customizing my previous phone, the iPhone 4S, but Android is a whole new beast in itself. You cleared up a lot for me and I appreciate that
Thanks in advance
