I'm trying to modify certain icons on the status bar but not having any luck. Some files are locked when I open them up in photoshop so I can't edit them.
Anyone have any idea why that is? It isn't a .9 file...
I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about:

This is most likely because the image is in indexed color mode. Try changing it to RGB by going to Image > Mode > RGB. Hope this helps!
Edit: I'm stealing the text from the very bottom of your signature btw
Double click the locked layer in the layer palette a dialog should pop up and hit ok that usually unlocks the layer for me.

Awesome, I ran into this problem a few times as well, some of the images in the framework are indexed and some are not, there are even a few in there that are grayscale, which will really throw you off when you are trying to add color haha

I'm not on my laptop right now so I can't check to make sure this works, but try changing the mode to indexed color and save it. Then exit photoshop and reopen it and open the file again and change it to RGB. That should do the trick, if not let me know and i'll look into it myself; i'll be back at my comp in like 15 mins lol. Also, if it still isn't being colored in RGB mode, make sure that the hue/saturation is not turned all the way down in the document itself, not just the layer.

Disable Capacitive Button Lights
If you'd rather have the capacitive button lights off:
Download "Night Mode" from play store
Set slider to 100% and start service
Go to settings
Disable "Minimum brightness" and "notification"
Now it won't mess with your brightness but disable capacitive button backlights

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just choose the option "always off" in system>display>touch key light duration in order turn off the capacitive button lights?

I followed a guide to do the edits and you probably did too so its none of our works really.
I spent hours figuring out how to successfully recompile framework-res.apk. Then I had to figure out how to get it to boot. Then I had to change the height and figure out how to disable capacitive backlight.
Instead of being selfish, I released my mod to public.
I guess releasing my own work to public was a mistake.

Go to freezas system apk thread and use that to figure out how to decompile/recompile system apps.
Decompile framework-Res.apk. do all of your editing. Then you can recompile and push to /system/framework and boot the phone. If you did everything correctly, the bar at the bottom should reflect the edits.
Sent from my Sprint SGS3
Anybody can do this btw. Decompile framework-res.apk, look for the Navigation bar bool and set it to "true"
If you want different pngs for the buttons you need to look in SystemUI.apk
Here's a blank zip you can use
http://db.tt/mmOQPE5Z
Extract it and add a system folder then add an app folder within it (if modifying anything in /system/app or a /system/framework folder if you modified anything in /system/framework) and place your modified apk's in the appropriate folders
Zip up the META folder and system folder and flash in recovery

Sorry, man. Was half asleep when I saw this, and wasn't exactly rational.
To be fair though, monstaX and I were going back and forth on this over in Themes & Apps over the last couple days, and all progress was very visible there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771908
I was gonna package it and post it here (with an additional edit to the /keylayout folder to turn off capacitive keys and remap home to be a camera key) but my wife's car broke down yesterday and I had to deal with that.
Again, I apologize for being a douche. I need to stop using the internet when I'm tired.

No Expert, but after digging I found where that wallpaper is located. As mentioned no expert but I was able to change mine, it will still show default wallpaper when setting color in accessory but the one you place is displayed. It is located in:
framework-res.apk in res\drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi\mainbg_pattern_mainarea.png
I just pulled to desktop, opened with 7-zip, replaced, pushed.
Maybe someone with more theming experience can create a better way to mod it so that you don't have to set the color as it takes away from the actual image. Tried taking a screen shot but no go. Just using solid black background with size 1002x891and naming it the same as what it was in that dir.
If i helped, hit thanks!

lol No, I'm talking about the shadow at the bottom not the icons. I guess the screenshot isn't showing my issue off very well.
To see the shadowing one must turn the brightness to the max. I don't know how to get rid of it. I know I don't have it but I am in Nougat. And not so many icons can be presented at once.

Hello All,
There are a lot of themed SystemUI.apk and have bugs in them which really made me feel sad not being able to customize my device the way I want it and the worst part is not being able to understand the codes I can't theme one my self as well :crying: ,
but after days of google-ing I finally themed my systemUI for G531F and thought it would be nice to add one more themed SystemUI for our device.

After installing your systemui, I quickly noticed these:
1. Some of the quicksetting icons are with the wrong labels
2. Screen mirroring icon is almost not visible, and 3. The pen icon on the upper right corner should be the settings icon
Can you fix those? Btw, thank you for your effort of doing this.

Dark mods in this pack are not switchable. Night mode is a different mod, and doesn't change any of the frameworks, but just the color values of the screen. If you want to go back and forth, the best thing to do is keep 2 copies of the flashable zip, and replace the modded files in one of them with your original stock files. Then you can flash back to your original whenever you want.
I fixed the dark lock screen clock. Let me know if anyone wants it.
