How do I pull the battery icon out of one theme and then place it in a different one? Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Copy and Paste
Open both zip files (do not extract), go to system>framework - open framework-res, go into res>drawable-hdpi - select the battery icons you want and copy them into your other zip in the exact same spot. They will overwrite the ones that are there. Save the zips and you should be good to go.
If the xml files of the battery you want to use are different then the ones in the theme you are using, it will not display properly, but if they are the same, you should be ok.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Is it possible to pull everything out of the theme other than the battery, and then flash just to battery on top of the current theme i'm using?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
In short, no... because you are replacing framework-res, it will replace all the images. The bestway to get the battery is to find one you like and copy and paste it to the theme zip.
If you were to remove all the other images and flash it, I imagine there would be a whole hot of problems.

Tell me which icon set you want into what theme you are using. It's not hard if you know what you are doing. I can do it for you once I have both sets of files. Will take about 10 mins if both framework's are the same. More problems if the charge icons 9,10 or 20 vs the 100 I use in my theme.
Holy crap, I actually did it, and it works... At least I think it does, I'll have to wait and see if I missed any...
Thanks for the help, and the offer to do the work for me!
now the question is can i do this to stock e05 plus?

+1, should have [Q] tag in the title as well. For future reference, when making a new thread asking a question, be sure to tick the box where it says "Is this thread a question?" Makes it easier for people to weed through the clutter

"res" is the name of the directory inside of the apk. Open .xml files with something like Notepad++ and open .png files with Photoshop or GIMP. Of course you can just view them with the Windows Photo Viewer but that doesn't allow you to edit them very much at all.
EDIT: just saw the last reply was (from me I might add) in May lol. Thread necromancy at its finest

Actually there is what about 204 battery pngs to move on most 1% battery mods.
Take about a whole minute to highlight em all, and drag and drop them from one ROM zip to another ROM zip.
Make sure you grab all 204 or you will end up with a screwy looking charging animation or something else in the battery mod at some point

Yes they are all in the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder.
They will be named...
stat_sys_battery_xx.png (these are the non charging images)
stat_sys_battery_charge_animxx.png (these are the charging images)
Really wont matter if you grab the unknown battery image... Just make sure you have all the normal and charging images and you should be fine.
Is there a way to change the provider name in the banner and under settings and status? Pretty sure it can be done, just don't know how, thanks.

It is inside of framework-res.apk
decompile and go to res\values\strings.xml
search for sprint I think it is in there like 3 times. Change to what you would like.
recompile and put it back on your phone.
Thank you very much , now to figure out how to decompile APKs lol
I use apk manager or apktool. The line you want to change is <string name="zz_roamingText1">Sprint</string> change the "Sprint" to whatever you want.

Tell em it a Straight Talk phone. One of a kind.
When I change the strings and recompile, I either get the '!' in the batter meter or the screen goes blank after the bootanim. I've recompiled plenty of stuff and normally don't have any problems. I half know what's causing it I think, but I need a little help. When using apkmanager to compile it, I tell it it's a system app and let it copy over unchanged files. Since I'm changing an xml I know have to delete the resources.arsc and xml that I changed from the 'keep folder'. Problem is the res/values/ folder doesn't exist in the 'keep' folder.
Any ideas how to compile it properly?

Go to framework-Res / XML / eri.sprintxml
Line 41 & 65 is were edit will need to be made.
Line 41 - <EriInfo RoamingIndicator="99" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="Sprint"
Change Sprint text seen above to what ever you want displayed....I Recommend "UnNamed"
Do the same in line 65
After edits pack up framework-res apk into cwm flash zip make it available to all
I would but I'm to damn lazy lol

I have been trying to find this image and cannot. In the screen shot I am trying to take the progress bar you see in green and go blue with it. I have looked through both frameworks and systemui and anything else I can think of. I can find several twprogressbar PNG's but they are already blue from the theme Im using. Does anyone know where that image is at. Thanks in advance.
try secdownloadprovider.apk
Just checked. No green pngs in it either. Thanks.
Checked both. The actual provider doesn't even have a Res folder. Kinda odd.
Its an xml not a PNG. I don't have a PC right now so I can't look and tell u the exact one but dazed knows. I would send him a pm. Sorry I couldn't be more help but it changed in ICS and without being able to look I can't remember which it is.

Hey that is awesome. Thank you. I throught I was going insane. Its the only green really left and I wanted to try and change it. I'm not the greatest with XML but I can give it a shot. Thanks again. I'll shoot him a PM after while.
Its really easy to change. If u want u can download my theme or Dazed‘s blue theme or an ICS theme and when u know the exact one u can swap them out or you can open them up and look at it so u get an idea. U need to use something like notepad++ to edit the XML and if your going to make the change yourself your going to need to decompile the apk because just extracting it with 7zip or something won't allow u to edit the XML. U won't be able to read it.

Thanks. Once I know which one it is I may do that. The hardest time I'm having right now is decompiling and recompiling ICS frameworks without issues. I am using APk multi tool and for the life of me I cannot get it to see the project. I try to decompile with dependencies and it says select a project so I do. But it never selects. I'll keep playing with it. But if burst knows which one it is that would be awesome. I see he's now in the thread.

Apk manager is the best. I'm tired so too lazy to read previous posts, but the progress bar XML is progress_horizontal.XML under framework-res.apk > Res > Layout.

I just decompiled that and couldnt seem to see that file in the layout folder. maybe im looking in the wrong place?
Edit, there is one in the drawable folder?
Well I changed out the Progress_horizontal.xml and the TWprogress_horizontal.xml from the drawable folder. I used the framework from Tiffs ICS with a twist of Honey theme v1.0. That damn bar is still green. Verified all the PNGs were right. And made sure that I did indeed get thee right xmls switched over. Not sure what else to try. I looked in the layout folder and there wasn't a file named that in there. and ideas?
My bad, it is drawable. For ICS, it might be a part of SystemUI. (They also placed the battery mods in there.) Try those sub folders and search for "progress". I haven't done any ICS theming as of yet, but I think that should do it.

I think I may have got it, I just decompiled and changed the color code in the progress_horizontal.xml and recompiled. I looked through systemui and didn't see any files with that name. I'm flashing now so we will see shortley. Thanks for all your help. I will post back in just a few with the results.
Nope. OK, time to browse systemui a little better.
Found another one in tw.framework
OK, so I think I know what my issue is, problem in my process. thanks again. post back when i figure something out. if anyone has anymore input its all welcome.
OK, Im at a loss. I have changed it in both frameworks. still that bar is green, i dont get it.

When I first started theming the nexus I would go into the .zip of the wanted rom and replace the softkeys. It was very easy because they were all named ic_sysbar...
I have had trouble locating these files for awhile now but have gotten by with the great rom control or toolboxes built into roms. However, I would like to know what these pngs are called now, and where they are located, with in the re.apk.
Could somebody tell me? and is it still as easy as replacing these pngs to make it work?
I know these are noob questions but I cant find the pngs

TEAM REJECTZ QUICK FIX
OK I know somepeople still have problems with compiling apks and baksmali/smali
well your problems are over
1. You need to make sure you have the latest java
2. Download Notepad++ (google it) lol
3. Download the Team Rejectz Quick Fix (the latest one) which is linked below
Instructions Decompile/Recompile
1. UNzip and place the Quick Fix folder anywhere you like the script is prompt to locate the files
2. Since this is TW you should drag your framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemUI.apk onto the apktool-if cmd file
3. Now time to decompile. You can actually drag your apk from where ever its located but i suggest you place them in the Quick Fix folder.
and drag and drop it on top of the Quick-Deompile cmd file
4. To get an error less decompile i prefer you to use the stock apk
5. Once the decompile process is done. you can go into the apks folder that was created and make your edits
warning if you create to many edits that would cause and error. then begin the process over but do them one by one
6. Now its time to recompile ^^^^^^^^^remember the warning^^^^^^^ drag and drop the apks folder on top of the Quick-Recompile cmd file
7. Now once your done go into the apks folder you should see dist folder. Your new compiled apk is located there.
8. Don't worry about signing the apk. All of your edits besides the ones in drawable folder will be in the resource.arsc file
9. Drag that file into the apk thats in the rom your editing
10. If you decide to edit the decompressed .9 images you can check my Team Rejectz Theme Cheat Sheet located >>>Here<<< theres going to be an updated tutorial to quickly edit them
Baksmali/Smali
1. Grab the apk/jar file you want to edit
2. Drag the classes.dex file out of the apk/jar file
3. Drag and drop the classes.dex file onto the Quick-Baksmali cmd file
4. A classout folder will be created
5. Now you can make your smali edit inside of the classout folder and close and save them.
6. After the edits and save, drag and drop the classout folder on top of the Quick-Smali cmd file
7. You should now see a new file called new-classes.dex. rename it to classes.dex
8. Finally drag the classes.dex file into the original apk/jar you pulled it from
If this helped you in anyway just hit that thanks button thanks!!!!!!!!!!
