there in the framework-res.apk and easy to replace, if you find some emoticons you like i can replace them for you

can u tell the method in PLAIN ENGLISH please?

Same as the guy above..oh and if it's not too much to ask, can you pls give us a step by step guide on how to do this.

1. Extract your framework-res.apk. you will find it in /system/framework/.
2. download and install 7zip, on your pc.. its a free program.
3. on your pc, right click on your extracted framework-res.apk, find the 7zip contex menu, and click on open archive (DONT EXTRACT IT)
4. A box will open, now navigate to the \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder, inside there you will find the emoticons, they have names like "emo_im_cool.png" and "emo_im_crying.png". find some suitable replacement emoticons, and rename them to the match the file names in the folder.
5. just drag and drop your new emoticons in the folder, and replace the existing ones.
6. close 7zip. now download the update.zip template i've attached at the bottom, unzip it and copy your modified framework to the framework folder inside the zip, go back to the root of the zip and zip it back up.
7. copy the update.zip to the root of your sd card and flash it from recovery

I found an easier solution, will post it IF succesful

But what if you just want to replace the text instead of the image?

New signal bar icons and 3g

Hello everyone, i used gimp to edit and change color of the 3g and signal icons (cyanogenmod color #00ffff), below is the download, I ONLY tested this on my htc wildfire s cdma, if other people would like to test and leave me feedback if it works on there custom rom or phone please tell me and i will update this thread. (PLEASE AND ALWAYS BACKUP) The signal icons are different from stock, i change the ev to 3g icon. Take a look at the screen shot. This download comes with complete 3g,1x,signal bar,and null icons. USE AT OWN RISK....BATTERY NOT INCLUDED
*directions*
-download file
-extract ZIP
-copy system.ui.apk from system/app to sd card. (copy dont move)
-plug phone into computer and open to sd card
-open sytem.ui.apk in win zip (or any program that will let you move or edit files inside the zip).
-save all the png imgs that will be replaced by new ones in a new folder, that way if you dont like the new icons you can put the old icons back in the folder
-copy all the png img from the downloaded extracted zip folder and drop the pngs into res-drawable-mdpi folder, the png will over write the old png img
-delete these 2 png img in the res-drawable-mdpi folder- cdma_sys_6signal_5 and cdma_sys_6signal_6 (the reason why to delete is because the new signal icons is only four bars, so 5 and 6 need to be deleted)
-after complete save the apk
-disconnect from computer and open es file explorer or root explore
-select sytem.ui.apk from your sd card and copy to system/app (it will ask you to overwrite file? select yes)
-when done it will foreclose, hit restart phone
-boot
-enjoy

That will work if you use the System Theme right? But if you use other CM7 themes like ICS by Achep it will be replaced right?

Yes, this is for default cm7 theme ...

You will have to replace some png files in the framework-res.apk of your rom. You can change it with winrar. First get those 3 pngs from the Nexus rom. Then open your framework-res.apk with winrar and search for the png in the drawable or minmap folder. Then rename the respective pngs of the Nexus icon to that of the Xperia icon and replace it in the apk.

Hi there! While I was trying to implement this for my rom, I found out which file to replace. Download this zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?758mnayrlt3dee4
It has the Nexus navigation icon bars. Open your SystemUI.apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and search for pngs which are ic_back.png, ic_home.png etc. Just replace these pngs with the ones in the downloaded zip and enjoy!

been looking everywhere for this..thanks bro :good:
[edit: can you help me out bro..i got the portrait icons good see]
[but then i found out in landscape it changes to the xperia navbar icons again]

[TUTORIAL][SOFTKEYS] Change Softkeys at GNex with ZipThemer and without (CM11)

The Problem at CM11 is that the SoftkeyZ app doesnt work.
This is baecause of the following problem:
The folder is normally /system/app (for SoftkeyZ),
but in cm11 it is /system/priv-app.
But it can be done manually by two Methods.
Not only for CM11
You need :
-Root Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=de
First Method:
Now:
-Go to /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
-Extract to sd card
-Go to folder of the softkey you downloaded and put the .png files to :
/SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi
-Paste them and overwrite the old files.
-Zip the SystemUI folder with the new data.
-Go to SystemUI.zip and rename "SystemUI.zip" to "SystemUI.apk".
-Put the renamed SystemUI.apk to the /system/priv-app.
-Overwrite the old SystemUI.apk.
-Reboot manually ( the SystemUI.apk is mostly crashed at the first time doing this).
-After reboot set permissions of the SystemUI.apk to rw-r-r
Second Method: (Tested only at CM11)
ZipThemer is usable with this Method and you can make FLASHABLE ZIPS!
-Download the softkeys you want
- Extract them .
- Go to folder of the extracted
- There is one folder named "SystemUI" and a "nameofsoftkeys.xml"
- Open the .xml file with Text editor it look like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Then change the line "<path>/system/app/</path>" to "<path>/system/priv-app/</path>"
- Save settings and go back. (delete the "nameofsoftkeys.xml.bak")
- Zip the folder where the SystemUI folder and the .xml file is included
- Go to Zipthemer (NOTE: Extras -> Update Edify -> browse for actually ROM -> Configure !! If not it may not work.)
- Go back to ZipThemer and search at "+Theme" for the new Zip
- Build it. And then go to Recovery and flash the zip. If this doesn't work then flash the undo.zip to reactivate the old softkeys.
Done
Screenshots can be posted here. :good:
