Ok so I have read some about making changes to the services.jar file and am afraid that it is a little above my head. So wondering if someone might want to help me make the following change?
I would simply like to remove the location icon from my status bar.
If I was to upload my services.jar file could someone make those changes without having the rest of my framework?
Thanks!
Flash this in recovery and you should be good to go, worked for me. REMEMBER to nandroid first.
That would probably work if I was using stock framework, but I am running the super z ported rom with completely different framework. Someone will have to manually make changes for me.
Thanks though.

What are the exact mods you are using already?
I can combine them for you just let me know which ones you want to use.
Ex.... no clock and no location.
P.s. it is currently setup to only show location icon when location services are being used.

Alrite just a couple questions about theming and customization.
I would like to apply your red sense theme.
-Do I have to use a rom or can I just apply it on my rooted phone?
-If I have to use a rom which do you suggest so I can still use the original internet app that came with the phone?
Thx for all your help!
Sent you a PM about this actually.
Whats the trick to enable transparency? Particularly the notification pull-down. I have already modified framework-res.apk to include the transparent images, however they are not displaying transparent when applied to the phone. I read a few things about hexing, and even found a 'transparency patcher' program from droid-forums. This patcher apparently, does the hex work for you on services.jar. However, it did not do the trick. What am I missing here?
I'm running my own fully deodexed custom rom based on the 2.2 sense leak.
I'm working on Transparency as well...I contacted Xeudoxus at droidforums...hopefully he can help.
I would just like to know how to manually change my icons and or folders on my home screen and in my app drawer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I too would like to find out how to change the "Folders" icon from the plain manila to obviously something else.

All root themes will usually only work for the rom they are made for. Sometimes there are big changes to the firmware, sometimes little... a good rule of thumb is to always make a nandroid backup if your an early adopter. So long story short:
1. yes
2. whatever rom i made the theme for... you can only use the original browser app with sense

I have no idea... If you guys get ahold of Xeadoxus then let me know how its done. I have a feeling he'll tell you to download xUltimate though.

Changing folder icons/app icons: you're gonna have to theme the rom you're using
basic ingredients in no particular order:
1. update.zip- just download one of themes and the update script in there (META-INF) or make your own if you feel like learning the syntax
2. resigning tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2
3. 7zip for extracting apks
4. Android SDK
5. Lots of time
Start extracting apks and viewing the contents of res/drawable-hdpi---where you'll find icons
Most icons are named ic_launcher_XXXX.png, some are named app_icon, others are just simply icon... you'll have to look around to find them as there is no easy way to change them. Once you find the icon you want to replace, drop your new icon (with exactly the same name) into the same directory (preferably using 7zip since you don't have to have the directory extracted to replace it) and resign the entire zip file... flash zip and win!
So how much time do you think I would need if I was to do this? Just kidding looks like a pain in the ass. However, doable. Thanks for the link to signing the zip. Thought it just might be a bit easier. Hopefully soon I can change the plain folders to a picture of my girlfriend or something.

Signal Bars
I have seemed to try everything to change the signal bar(s) colors. I have changed all of the icons to a red theme and the only way I can think thats left is that it has to be hex coded. Important fact is I am running skyraider 2.0.1. Has anyone had any luck changing these?
I have a de-odexed rom (MoDaCo R8 RC1 at present) but wanted to make it a little more my own. Can someone please explain how to adjust application icons? I have already replaced a load of png's in the framework for notification icons but not sure if apps work the same way.
Many thanks in advance

I was searching for this as well. Seems there are several solutions, some of depending on the Launcher app you use.
Most generic solution (and most uncomfortable) I found here: http://www.anddev.org/how_do_i_change_the_application_icon-t5975.html
Thanks beegee that's exactly what I needed, confirmation that it is what I've done already, just with a different png file.

in which apk is the market icon?
Can anyone tell me in which apk the Market icon lives please?
I'm building my own ROM, and I'm using a modified framework with some mods, but now I want to add a battery mod to that. But the battery mods are always shared in the framework file itself, which makes it impossible to merge with an existing framework, or am I wrong?
Can someone please tell me how I add a battery mod to an already modified framework file?
Thanks.
Isn't anyone going to tell me how to do it?

The best thing to do is flash and existing rom or theme. Then apply then apply any battery mod, then copy framework to your workspace and simply replace the image files with the ones that you want. There are advanced tutorial to do this from scratch but inless you have alot of timw and are confident with xml's it might not be a good option.
Hope this helps.

If all you want is just the battery mod then you can try this site
http://circle.glx.nl/
You can upload the framework-res.apk from your theme and upload it to the site.
on the end which rom do we have to choose???
I changed the Battery Icon, and Some Icons, but which rom do I have to choose on the end when I upload my framework.
I can choose between Sense Rom ( not Leoroid ), Leoroied, some other, HTC HD Rom ???
Depends on the ROM you use... Probably Sense ROM (Not LeeDroid v2.2).
I tried doing the above and it seems circle.glx.nl breaks something inside the framework file I upload causing it to fail.
I wouldn't mind manually doing it, but I can not find any source files to the battery mods, all that is there are ready made frameworks (which are useless to me) and the kitchen website.
Someone tell me how to do it from scratch please.
You dont choose a rom at the end but rather upload your own framework via the browse button. I found the editing the notification in the kitchen kills the framework for the Galaxy S as well....

That is what I did. I just need to know which files are actually changed without spending hours using diff.
Battery mod makers could easily post the images/xml's they use so I can add it to my framework manually.

What battery mod/style are you after and I'll post the images for you?
I'm after GS Blue from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8965042&postcount=1149
I saw some modders put their sources up which is very nice, but I don't really fancy those mods
I dont know if this is possible to make custom skins that we could choose with the skin chooser? Im thinking no but its worth a shot to ask right

Yeah, i was wondering about that too. As all themes this as well could be created. Question is, where you need to put the file. Guess it must be stored in an accessible dir somewhere. Injecting a new theme there should work i guess.

The ones from the above thread?
They work apparently (thread title).
Just install the .apk you downloaded.
You need flashing for the framework mod, rooted device, it tells in the instructions, if i read it right

I stand corrected. I thought he meant the skins for Sense thing.
You could install the frameworks without root though, by using wpthis.ko
(I think it's .ko)
Just run it, then adb push the framework to /system/framework.
You may need temp-root for this.
But of course, temp-root ain't perm-root
I figured it out. You have to add the framework into a flashable .zip - if anyone would like any of the status bars, let me know and ill upload the .zip's

The frameworks don't change the colour of the statusbar background, just the icon colours and what they look like.

Is there anything special about the Desire HD Mod?
Are the icons different to ours?
Also - rEVOlution looks sssooooooooo good.

You can check out the link posted earlier in the thread to download the .apk's containing skins. In order to get different status bar icons, you'll need to flash a new framework file via .zip in recovery. The frameworks can be applied to any skin you wish.
I'm currently using the Froyo status bar and am loving it. The best part is having the actual battery percentage overlaying the battery icon. I've uploaded the flashable .zip for this one if you'd like to give it a try. Just install via recovery (dont forget to make a backup if you want to restore to default).

i added flyin in my theme
Confirmed working on Virtuous v0.7.2 Rom using Fold anim.
I don't know if it's just me or if this is a problem throughout but this either doesn't ever work as a metamorph, or putting this within the ROMs framework gives fc floods BUT, I do see that it makes the change that way.
What am I doing wrong? I followed the instructions and even tried my own variations. Signing, not signing framework/update.zip but no positive outcome...
Would someone be kind enough to post a working stock cm6.1final framework? I know it's a lot to ask but I'm giving up here. For some reason, I've had problems theming since nightly 12 and can't explain why. Wiping has always been an attempt within the trail and error but it always ends up as an error.
I was able to modify a theme posted here by removing everything but phone/contacts.apk, re-signed and then flashed it and it worked. But there was no framework-res.apk change...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sent from me HTC Vision using XDA app
EDIT:
I figured it out. What worked was NOT signing framework-res.apk but changing it's name to framework-res.zip, editing ANY files you choose and then renaming back to the original framework-res.apk
then you place that into your ROM and sign the rom.zip
worked pretty well. I really like flip so far.
Thank you for posting this!!
