[GUIDE]Changing Jellybean's Lockscreen Slider Color

Very Quick tutorial on changing the lockscreen slider color.

Requirements

• Photoshop or Gimp.

• 7zip

Using a file explorer, copy framework-res.apk from /system/framework to your sdcard.
Mount your Kindle and copy the framework-res.apk to a safe location and extract it.
Find the following photo's.

In the drawable-sw600dp-mdpi folder:

• ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png
  ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png
  unlock_default.png
  unlock_halo.png
  unlock_ring.png
  unlock_wave.png

In the drawable-mdpi folder:

• ic_lockscreen_camera_activated.png
  ic_lockscreen_camera_normal.png
  ic_lockscreen_glowdot.png
  ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png
  ic_lockscreen_ime.png
  ic_lockscreen_lock_normal.png
  ic_lockscreen_lock_pressed.png
  ic_lockscreen_unlock_activated.png
  ic_lockscreen_unlock_normal.png

Now edit the colors of these pictures.
*Tips*

• If you can't add adjustments to the picture, make sure the picture mode is RGB Color, not Indexed Color or Grayscale.

• To change the color, change the brightness all the way down until it is black. Then go to gradient map and select a color. Then select color balance or Hue/Saturation and change the color.

Now save the edited pictures and save to a safe location.
Now mount your sdcard and find framework-res.apk
Right click, select 7zip, and select open archive. Then replace the original pictures with the ones you edited.(What I do is delete the res folder and replace it with my own) Now, using root explorer, copy the edited framework-res to /system. Then change the permissions to rw-r-r and then move to /system/framework and let it replace the previous one. Reboot and the changes will be made.
I guess you could also not only change the color, but also the image if you wanted to. I'll try it later today.
Enjoy!
