Replacing a scalpel with a club - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can I just push one Lockscreen apk with another to get a lockscreen to work? Am I doing extactly what the subject line says? I'd actually like to put the Star Wars lockscreens on other stuff.

I don't think its a matter of the .apks. There's around 20-ish images in the framework-res that control the lockscreens. What theme do you want them on?

Smorg is back!!! :D

For those who don't know since he kinda just posted it while i was over there looking at Brandenks Theme Jonny posted Smorg for Akirah!!!
http://www.alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=159
But now he calls it Blackened i guess
i used smorg a while back and i loved it..but it would be nice to have stericsons new lock screen
I love your Blackened theme. I even love the icons, but since I don't have replacement icons for all of my other apps, it annoys me to have some full color icons and some of your nice ones. Is there a way to edit your theme to remove the modified app icons? I'm new to the android, but I've been around the block a time or two for themes on WM. Thanks for your beautiful work.

If you wanted stock icons you could replace everything in the system/apps/ folder except Launcher.apk with stock apks, and then resign the update. you'll lose some of the theme, but that would be the easiest way to have stock icons
If you use a home replacement app, then you could download the modified milk icon pack I uploaded. Its in the same subforum as the theme, in a thread called extras.

actually, if he can sign the file, then he can use this with just the icon version. then replace the icons in the the .apk/res/drawable folder, then sign it, so that he would still have all of the elements of the theme without the icons.

Yeah, that would be better, then he'd still have the widgets and junk.
Thanks for the tips. I just realized I wasn't actually asking jonnybueno directly. Thanks for responding. Good thing you were paying attention.
Does each internal .apk have to be signed or the overall?
You can just sign the whole update zip. No need to individually sign each apk.
It really would just be easier to install the icon pack I posted and use "Bettercut" (2 dollars on the market) to change shortcuts on the desktop. Unless you're concerned about the app drawer... then you should be doing what you're doing.
I chose those milk icons not only because I like them, but also because I hate mismatched icons as well. I think there are around 200 icons.

TW Lock Screen without the clock?

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way for me to remove the Clock on the top of the Touchwiz lockscreen alltogether. I would normally just use the AOSP lockscreen, but after flashing Nebula 1.0.7, I've changed my mind about the lock screen. Problem is, I'm using a live wallpaper that has the time and date at the same place as where the touchwiz lockscreen's clock is, so i just wanted to remove it.
Thanks, guys
Your gonna have to edit the framework.apk your self. Cause there is no universal way of doing it that I know off right now. If you edit the framework you can make everything 100% transparent. I'm sure one of the .jar files could be edited but again not really universal if the rom dev has any changes in that jar file

Is that all I do? Don't I have to resign the APK or something like that? I've poked around here and there but I'm still kind of a noob.
So I can do whatever I want the framework-res.apk, and I just zip it back up and push it and overwrite? Or is it more complicated?
Also, do the PNG's have to be special? 16-bit,32-bit,interlaced, etc?

[REQ] White ICS statusbar icons for CM9

Ok.. ive searched and bought like 2 themes... and still nothing is what i want!
i tried Black infinitum and Holo white... They do give me white icons yes... the theme "Black Infinitum" is the closest ive managed to find
what i want is: 100% original ICS icons in white... not some ugly % battery or another battery!(no offence..) but 100% stock, but in white..
so what im asking is...
Anyone know a theme wich is black/white instead of black/blue? i want it to be 100% the same icons, but in white..
SOLVED
Go for Photoshop & make them as you like & then : show & share!
don't u think ive allready tried that ? i am not that good at photoshop.. but i know the stuff that i need! but some of the pics are wierd.. so not easy ive seen the pack somewhere.. i know it! but im on CM9 so dunno.

he is using the stock icons in white, but the battery isn't stock... its a meter of some sort.. and i don't want that
instead of blue/black i want white/black...
hope u understood this
So you dont want white "stat_sys" icons you only want white "stat_sys_battery_" icons from the sdk 15?

EDIT: this is not correct, it worked.. but it gives me the wrong battery icon :/ i want stock ICS icon, not sense icon :/
You wont find stock ics battery icons in white.
There are too many incompatabilities when overlaying the icons with white, you would need to recreate them individually.
Just use the sense icons and rotate them 90' clock wise

[MOD][JellyBean] Black Status Bar 3/13/13 (Almost Done)

Update: 3/13/13 More thanks go out to the people that were able to get this done. I was able to get a flashable zip with more of bleached45's images working.
I know many people (including myself) are missing the black status bar mod from ICS. After a collaborating with other people I was able to figure something out.
By the way you don't need my permission to do anything with this zip (haha). All I ask is that you please thank me (always wanted to be thanked) and give me any critical advice to theming you have (trying to learn the right way).
To Install: (You must be on ZVB Deodexed to use!)
1.Flash the attached zip
2.Wipe cache and dalvik
3.Reboot
3.Win MVP
I'm responsible for nothing that happens to your phone (always wanted to say that). If your qualcomm enhanced location service force closes, Wipe your cache between the reboot. Otherwise just go to settings/wireless networks/more.../mobile networks/connections optimizer. Accept the terms and uncheck the box. The service is annoying anyway.
Issues:
The edit quick toggle button looks kind of weird :-/
There is a very small line inbetween the quick toggles and the date bar
Thank These People!
AdriVelasquez for the Deodexed Rom
B-Reezy for our original LG port of the black mod
bleached45 - Original theme creater and source of the files, and the flashable zip base
Lrod0175 - Provided the status bar with the cool blue bottom and was very helpful with feedback
pcrhckyman - Pointed me in the right direction for source of files
Kobe Bryant - For having the heart of a champion
Re: [MOD][JellyBean] Black Status Bar (Work-In-Progress)
Cool, I thanked you by the way
Edit: the reason you have the white edges is because that's a .9 image and you cannot color the whole image, you have to color the image inside the dots or lines in the edges, those are the ones that allow the image to stretch. You also need to decompile the app to see the points and lines of the .9 images other wise they will show as a regular PNG.

Nope definitely not done. I didn't want to scare people away lol. But now that you mention it, I probably should keep it in.

Hey, I have a JB version out for the ATT variant, I believe you can get the files out of my mod and copy them into yours.
I would offer more help but have class in a few minutes and don't have my computer.
I recompiled the .9.pngs and I believe the file names are the same.
What the files are called I don't remember off the top of my head.
Just copy/paste any pure black images from my mod and the bottom slider (the two pngs with the 3 horizontal bars) and the quick settings edit buttons.
It is mostly just eyeballing what file looks like what part of the UI.
I can't promise it will work, but it should.
HERE is my thread. All 4 JB versions have the same image files, so it shouldn't matter which one you grab.

Thank you for everything. I used your indi_noti_btn_edit_normal.9 and indi_noti_btn_edit_pressed.9 files in drawable-xhdpi and it appears they are not stretched the same for our phones. I attached a screen. I'm reading how to edit .9 pngs but I haven't had any luck. If you could drop a few words of wisdom I would appreciate it. Specifically, I see the original dots of the png. I'm assuming I erase those in the photo editor and resize the image, then use draw9patch and put new dots in the same place? And if I see a black border on the side of the grey image, can I assume they stretched the entire side of the png? Thanks for everything and sorry to take your time from school, I'm in school as well.

Good luck! Start with simple stuff, like changing status bar icons and go from there.
I would love to see a Black Status Bar similar to the one b-reezy posted for ICS or the other JB Status Bar but without the changed icons.

Yes, that's correct, shoot me a pm if you hit a wall. If u want download my OptimusBlueBlend theme and decompile the systemUI, compare it to yours, that way you'll see the themed images, then you can start with yours, by the way u can use mine if you wanna add a full battery set from 1 to 100.

Try apkmultitoolhttp://apkmultitool.com/ I've been using it a long time now and it has worked good, make sure u install android 4.1.2 framework-res.apk, you can also use your phone framework, you can do it from the set up script, it will pull your phone frameworks for u.

Custom fingerprint icon (discontinued)

I have found this mod to obsolete. With @Zacharee1's custom fingerprint application users can now swap out images for their fingerprint icon on the fly.
It's an absolutely fantastic app and it allows users to customize their icons without decompiling their systemui apk!
Link to thread- https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/app-theme-opfpcontrol-custom-t3899522
Download any icons you want, resize them to 174x174 (the stock icon size). Open the app and select your images from your gallery then reboot!
If you're still a fan, like me, of having NO icon then simply download an image, resize it and make it completely transparent with your favorite Android image modifying application. I personally use background eraser. Select the transparent images and reboot.
Great application @Zacharee1 !

I changed the fingerprint icon last night in the home screen of my 6t. I only swapped out the default icon, the animations are the same and the center is still green. Fingerprint is fully functional. I was wondering if anyone here knows how to make a flashable twrp zip. This way I could easily make multiple different icons that people can flash in recovery.
The below link is to my modded OPSystemUI.apk. I install it the old fashion way...push it to system/priv-app. Then change the app permissions to rw-r-r. Then move it into the OPSystemUI folder and overwrite the current OPSystemUI.apk. Reboot!

U can just use any available zip and use it as a template. U'd maybe need to modify it a bit but not too complicated
