Works also on RC4.2 because there are no changes to SystemUI.
Thanks telispetsinos for the tip!
I read that lippol94 mod works on RC4.1 but just in case are any changes to SystemUI.apk in the RC4.1 I did this MOD.
Thanks to lippol94 for his work from RC3.1 and to everyone else for contribution.
I did this mod from RC3.1 MOD by lippol94 for my own use.
All credits goes to lippol94 from which I copied the files for this MOD and of course to ICSSGS TEAM who made ICS possible on i9000.
RC4.1/RC4.2 are ODEXED ROM's.
The MOD is only for battery percentage, no other changes.
Backup before updating.
hello,
works on this too: I9000_STOCKPLUS_ICS_RC4-PLUS???
tx.
Just tried the ODEX version on OneCosmic's RC 4.2 and works great!
Thanks a lot!

No need to. If you are odex then flash this mod and then with the apk open in a zip extractor drag and drop the .pngs inside drawable-hdpi and that should be ok. Don't add any files. If you have issues with the apk not working then you could try bringing across the manifest from the other apk (if you have used ALL of the .pngs from the other .apk?) as I believe the manifest has MD5 sum checks in it, or you can break down the manifest file in notepad++ and copy all the checks into your own manifest? That may allow you to flash...follow the tut in the link that someone else posted above. what ever is easier
Edit: I would not follow that tute in the link posted. That will not work.
If you have disixda's kitchen you will see an option to deodex apks. If you see how that script works you can reverse it, baiscally it will drag out of the apk the dex file and make you an .odex file
we can all sacrifice a little space for optimised usage, but the .odex file AFAIK is not actually any benefit in system performance, only boot performance/speed?

Send me your apk with pngs in it and I will try make one for you
Be careful with the files you are using or the tuts you follow cause this can happen:

thanks Jarmezrocks, I was able to mod my battery icons following your suggestion: I take the icons from "Dotten Circle Battery" mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421876) and then I simply updated the SystemUI.apk in the "Onecosmic_RC4.1_Battery_Percentage_ODEX.zip" file (paying attention to not add more icons respect the existing ones).
I've also tried before with the method suggested by Qobok, but the odexing process failed..., I've to study more odex/deodex process...
in attachments screenshot and my modded zip (do always a backup before trying a mod ).
P.S. I'm on ICSSGS 4.2 (i9000).
I'll wait for next release of Onecosmic
Hey Guys, so I'm working on a theme port (Yes I've Asked Multiple Questions About This) , well, when I change a .9 PNG file, it has errors compiling. How do I compile then? Can I not change .9 PNG files?

M&S gives a tutorial about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506177
Personally, I've found that if all you're doing is adjusting the hue or saturation (the color of the image) you can straight make the edit. At least I've had the two changes I've made work without doing anything special.

Okay, I have a stock framework, and then I have a bunch of png's from another theme in the i9100 section, if I put a .9 image, it wont compile right. So again, if I put the. 9 from the theme to the stock, it wont compile.

As long as you're replacing files with the exact same name and not creating new ones it should compile. Alternatively, you don't even need to uncompile and recompile. Just take your stock framework and open (not extract) it in 7zip. It'll show you all the files. Drag and drop your modified files over into the 7zip window. It shouldn't have to compress them or anything, it'll just replace the files that have the same name. That's how I make all my modifications.

While preparing JB Style for XXLSJ I've seen that we needed a proper VRTheme templatefor the new partitions ( /preload ) in our new systems. This will probably change in the future as Samsung releases the final version... but meanwhile... you can use this template to build mods.
No need to replace the entire SystemUI for battery images. This is not my work, I just simply adapted the original template.

i tried using it but went into boot loop..
all system\app files including systemui.apk which were before in systems\apps will be now in preload\symlink\system\app ??
or will the systemui.apk reside somewhere else ??
and the folders with the modified pngs will be named like systemui.apk ?? with the the extension ??
Thanks

exactly... in deodexed ROMs they're located in there ( preload\symlink\system\app ). If I recall correctly, in odexed ( stock fro sammobile source ) they're still on system/app.... check where they are before patching using a root file manager.

you have to recreate the folder structure of the file you're trying to mod
SystemUI.apk / res / drawable-hdpi ( for example )
Check one of my mods to see what I mean

Is that so? I never knew that
So quick question... If I change the hue of. 9 image I can't drop straight into an apk? It has to be recompiled 1st? If that's the case, that explains a lot. Thanks for the heads up on this. Every time I did this previously the image got distorted so i gave up touching them and just changed normal pngs.
I am looking to theme my stock SMS bubbles to different colours other than those available.
I have searched everywhere and cannot find any collection of themes for this.
I am running edgarf28's XperianZE Rom.
Can anyone offer any help with this...?
I did particularly love the red and grey of the MIUI theme for the S3 but that theme isn't compatible with my current ROM version...
If possible, I'd like to just theme the SMS (stock).
Please don't point me towards GoSMS etc.... I don't want to install a third party SMS app.
Thanks for any help.

you need to know about to:
1- How to decompile and editing System apk files. i suggest you to read the manuals about the APK MULTITOOL. (google it)
2- How to edit 9.png files
-------------------
you need to edit : System/app/SecMms.apk
when you decompile it, goto SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi folder
you can find the 9.png files that started by message_bubble***.9.png names.
edit them, and recompile SecMms.apk
copy edited SecMms.apk file into system/app folder on your phone.

Best Regards.
Thanks for the advice.. looks a little tricky for a beginner.
Is it possible for me to somehow take the SecMms.apk file from another rom and drop it into my SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi folder?
Also, if i can do this.. do i need any particular file browser etc to access that folder? Can this be done post Rom install, or does this all need to be done within the flashable rom zip file prior to flashing?
Thank you.

Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!
Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.
somebody can help please?

Hi, yes we can help, but keep patient ^^
I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

If you upload the zip you are trying to edit then I can take a look to see what's wrong :good:
Thanks for the responses guys!
I'm not insulted I'm just human and I can make mistakes so everything is cool
I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>

The xml file after the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:
Code:

If I can give any more details please let me know
And thanks a alot for the effort
I appriciate it

Hey mate,
It's not a rom,
It's the stock android that we have on nexus devices ...
