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?

"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.

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.

There are a couple options afaik.
You can use ADW Launcher, which will let you choose any picture/logo/icon for any app you put on yr homescreen. I use almost all Launcher Pro icons in my ADW Launcher.
Or, much more involved and complete, rip open the apk in question and replace the icon with one of ur choosing.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I was thinking of trying to open the apk because I like sense but not shute what programs I need or what to look for but I'm willing to learn.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You really just need the program 7zip.
After you have it set up, right click on any apk, highlight 7zip, and pick open archive. The icon you'll want to change is in res/drawables andshould be called icon. Be sure any new icon you put in there is the same format, size and name. I have never made my own icons, just used others, I recommend icons from droidicons.com/launcherpro That may not be the exact page, but Google it if you like the minimalist theme.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
Thanks I'll give it a try in the morning I'm trying to use riptide's glass icons just to make everything match but I think I'll look at the others you suggested too and post some screens when I'm done

You need a program called NinjaMorph its not hard to learn biut once you do you can google any image and use it as an icon to the apk of your choice.

Keep in mind that NinjaMorph only works on System Apps and does not work on Market Apps. If you want to change Market Apps the only way to do so is to open the apk and insert them.
[Obviously, you could use an alternative launcher but that only changes the icon on your home screen and not in the Apps Drawer]

Sorry, there is a bit more to it.
You also need to delete the META-INF folder and resign the apk.
I use this signing tool APK Signing Tool
It's an edited version of a zip signer. I didn't make it, got everything from this old thread Editing APK's

Yep, a new meta-inf is built for you.
When there's updates for apps, it sucks, gotta redo everything
I went through and did all mine to Launcher Pro style icons, thought I was done, then the updates start rolling in and screwing with everything. Now, when I try a new ROM, I just preload it with all my edited apps before flashing, makes for a bunch of work up front, but it sure is nice to just flash, sync, and go. Then I disable all updates until it looks like something important is fixed/added.
And slightly off topic, what's the deal with market app developers putting out like 27 updates every week, driving me crazy. I know I have a lot of apps, but it seems like every time I look, 19 updates available. And I gotta go look at change logs and waste all my precious time at work when I should be getting stuff done, it's all their fault when my crews production runs low
I know exactly what you mean but it seems like some of them update everyday. Thank you for all the help was hopeing to be finished tonight but my nice just crashed my computer but as soon as I get it back up and going I'll be good the one good thing about it is it gives me a chance to do a dual boot with linux

a few notes: all images were kanged from Overstew's ICS theme for Calkin's ROM.
I'm not a themer (hence the .apk files), but I love Jez2cool's Sydicate Ice ROM. So I took the images from Overstew's ICS theme and copied them to the appropriate Syndicate Ice 1.1 apks. No other changes were made.
Crap. Can't link to images (or the framework-res.apk (which is over 8megs) ) because I haven't posted enough. Ummm, bear with me here... Any suggestions on how to get link up?
Nice work! Hope to see more work from you... the locals are ravenous for more themes... I think if u post about 8 more posts throughout the threads you will be able to post that framework...
File is too big to post. Would love to get the mediafire link up for everyone tho.

yes that's all you need. If you want take a look at the updater script, in the Meta-infs/Google/com folder i believe? It'll have the language there needed to tell cwm what to do, think you don't want to use just a standard notepad app to write as it may fail.
Edit: sorry, the updater script is in meta-inf/com/google/android

here's the problem with that
I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol
PNG files are image files. Like a .jpg they end with .png
An apk (.apk) is the application package. Every application on your phone is an apk file. You can open them with 7zip - don't unzip it though unless you feel like signing it and other crap. Also, make sure you zipalign and optimize the PNG files (Google that).

The default system is not setup for % icons so you have to add a bunch of images and set the xml file to use them. It was more going through the xml. If this is all he wants changed then why would he learn xml?
so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.

so i wanna just make sure from one tiny thing. I want to make a theme for the cm7 beta 1 so i deleted everything except for systemui and the framework is that what i need to do? is there any other files i shouldnt have deleted?
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.
Have u tried using the tool agat posted in development?

You know I downloaded it but didn't really give it a shot. Maybe that should be were I move to instead of keep beating my head against the table with the Multi tool. I'll give it a shot.
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.

It's gotta be the framework-res one. Are you editing the hex values? Eg: #ff475864

Not sure lol. It should show up if you have the apk in the right folder. I think u gotta place it in the 'pleace apk here for modding' folder. Option to select should be 25.
