I am trying to change the look of the default dock for the EVO. I have been able to change the background for it, but after a few hours of looking around for the XML file that controls the layout of the dock, I still can't find it. Any ideas where that specific file is? Also I am looking for this file so I can get rid of the word "phone", along with the plus and circle arrow icons. Am I going about this the right way by finding the XML file then alter it to get rid of the images/words?
Thanks in advanced!
If launcher pro is an option for you?
they have hundreds of docks, styles and show ways to make yours 100% custom for your needs. google LP and check out the web site forum under themes

I'm creating my own "minimal" theme but I'm stuck on a couple of things and no matter how hard I've looked through the mode9 & lua files I can not find the parts I'm looking for..
As you'll see from the Calendar page, I can change most of the colors I need, but the one that is bugging me is the top page description which does not change regardless of the settings I alter.
Also, for the clock, does anyone have digital clock tabs with coloured notifications so that when I change the transparency they don't dissapear? I'm not a very good artist
If someone could point me in the right direction regarding the mode9 & lua files that I'll need to change what I want to change it would be appreaciated.

Yea, got help from elsewhere thanks a while back..
I just referenced my post for another thread is all
Hopefully someone can help me. a little background. I love a lot of the icons Riptide uses and the color menus. I also love a lot of the custom ui elements of myns.
In the past i have been able to "combine" the elements by editing the theme and have done a pretty good job doing the new riptide v9 and Myns rom (rls 4). I have everything almost exactly how i want it except for 1 part. This is what i am hoping someone can help with. As a warning i am not a developer just someone who has played around with changing themes etc to get the effect that i want.
In warm 2.2 when you pull down the notification bar you have a switch toggle. For some reason i cant seem to get it to show all the icons when i use riptide. it only shows 4. (see picture below.) I wouldn't mind the icons going back to the original ones in Myns if by changing them would still leave the icons on the notification bar itself as is. Anyone have any ideas on what i can tweak to try to get all of the toggles back on the screen? Is this something i would have to edit the .jars for? (havent had to edited them so far)
as an update i still can not get this working hopefully someone with more theme experience then me will be able to help. I have tried going .png by .png to find the gray boxes that show up. I believe i found them as the myn framework does not have that .png and it looks to be the box however i cant just remove the .png without bootloop. I am guessing i will have to adjust a .xml file or .jar to get this working as well
I'm using msturg29's New Senzation Mod at the moment. I really like the theme and it's running great so far. I'd like to change a couple things on it if I could. I really like the look of the bigger icons in TW over Go Launcher along with the 4 icon dock versus the 5 icon dock. Is it possible to flash or push a 4 icon dock version of TW to this rom? Also, if I want to change the default icon for each app, do I have to change the icon inside of each apk file?
Thanks! I did some searching around without much success, though I did find some stuff on how to change icons in the apk files.

As far as the launcher goes, you should be able to just grab a touchwiz launcher.apk from another rom and push it to /system/app. ("Should" being the keyword of course!!) I'm not familiar with that rom but I would think you could just grab the apk out of whatever stock rom it is based off of. ie, EG-30, EG-31, EL-13, etc... WHATEVER YOU DO, just make sure you do a nandroid back up FIRST so if it gets wonky on you, you can just restore back to your current settings.
For the icons, yes, you would have to change the icon in each apk provided you want to use a stock launcher (like touchwiz) and you want the icons in your app drawer to be themed. If you don't care about the app drawer and just want to change the icons on your homescreen(s), then you could just use desktop visualizer or a launcher like Go or ADW. If you are gonna change each individual apk, you'll just need to decompile them with one of the many tools floating around, swap out the icon (usually 72x72 and located in drawable-hdpi), recompile, and resign. Sounds like a lot but it is pretty easy.
I am looking for a relatively simple theme for stock ICS, all I want are things like the app circle, (if possible) the google bar at the top, text, and everythingelse possible in ICS Blue/black and if it isn't a pain, have the home screen horizontal scroll bar black with a blue curser like in the app menu. I have tried changing some of the .png files but don't know the location of all the files nor know how to edit .9.png files. It should be easy for anyone with half a brain, maybe time consuming though with all the files to change. If anyone can give me a detailed tutorial (haven't found a really easy-to-follow one yet) or make it for me, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
(This is technically a question, however I think it best fits this section. If this is the wrong section I'll report it to a mod.)
Bump also forgot to add I'm running the newest AOKP (26).
I have a OnePlus 5T onto which I recently installed MSM-Xtended-OFFICIAL-XP7-Release-v15.2 and Magisk-v19.3, and it's work great. Custom roms like MSM-X are quite new to me, though I have done some general rooting in the past, and am currently figuring out the android internals, where things are located, how things are arranged, etc, so I would really appreciate any pointers I can get.
What I'm currently trying to figure out is how exactly to change the status bar icons (mainly the wifi and cellular signal icons, which are a solid cone and triangle, respectively, where as I'd like to have more traditional looking bars. Also, if possible, I'd also like to be able to have those signal icons (and perhaps the one that indicates the cellular speed, like H, H+, LTE, etc)
The "X-Tensions" menu in the Settings app allows some limited changes, like letting one change the position of the clock - I like it centered - as well as have the date show next to it, and letting one choose from a short list of battery icons (and/or showing text percent), but there doesn't seem to be a more fine grained control over the status bar.
I have done some searching and reading and some places say that the icons should be within /system/app/SystemUI.apk or /system/framework/framework-res.apk but I searched through those (searching within the res/ folders of each as well as anywhere else to be sure, but I don't see those signal icons, so I assume they must be somewhere else, maybe something more specific to MSM-X, or maybe Lawnchair (the launcher MSM-X comes with) ?
Thank for any help.
Edit: I have attached two images, one showing what my status bar looks like, and the other is from an example I found online of the signal icon style that I'd want to have (the more traditional individual bars.)
Also looking at the first image, I'd also like to move the signal icons over to the right, beside the carrier name (and perhaps move that temp icon to the left side.)

You cant change them that simple as you seem to think. Its not like there is a single png in a folder for each icon.
The icons (a lot of them for every icon; for every state) are inside the apks you mentioned. In order to change them you would need to decompile them, do the changes and recompile them and replace the original ones with the modified ones.
Search for 3minit mod. Thats the easiest way if you want to do it like that. But that requires some knowledge.
Way easier it would be to just use substratum. Search a theme thats has the icons you want and then just apply the statusbar icon overlay. You can just leave out the other overlays if you just want to change statusbar icons.
