Is it possible to install themes and things like notification bar icons, menu icons etc. without an unlocked bootloader? I have root, running nordic 2.3.4.
Basically, I want to make the icons look more like vanilla Android.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah you can use the uot kitchen to theme your framework and systemui.apk, then just use adb, busybox or root explorer to push them back

I dont know if this is possible to make custom skins that we could choose with the skin chooser? Im thinking no but its worth a shot to ask right

Yeah, i was wondering about that too. As all themes this as well could be created. Question is, where you need to put the file. Guess it must be stored in an accessible dir somewhere. Injecting a new theme there should work i guess.

The ones from the above thread?
They work apparently (thread title).
Just install the .apk you downloaded.
You need flashing for the framework mod, rooted device, it tells in the instructions, if i read it right

I stand corrected. I thought he meant the skins for Sense thing.
You could install the frameworks without root though, by using wpthis.ko
(I think it's .ko)
Just run it, then adb push the framework to /system/framework.
You may need temp-root for this.
But of course, temp-root ain't perm-root
I figured it out. You have to add the framework into a flashable .zip - if anyone would like any of the status bars, let me know and ill upload the .zip's

The frameworks don't change the colour of the statusbar background, just the icon colours and what they look like.

Is there anything special about the Desire HD Mod?
Are the icons different to ours?
Also - rEVOlution looks sssooooooooo good.

You can check out the link posted earlier in the thread to download the .apk's containing skins. In order to get different status bar icons, you'll need to flash a new framework file via .zip in recovery. The frameworks can be applied to any skin you wish.
I'm currently using the Froyo status bar and am loving it. The best part is having the actual battery percentage overlaying the battery icon. I've uploaded the flashable .zip for this one if you'd like to give it a try. Just install via recovery (dont forget to make a backup if you want to restore to default).

Don't have the phone yet
So far every mod or method I have attempted to complete, sends my phone into a start up boot loop.
I am on stock rooted 4.22.651.2 odexed. I can change the stock icons using ninjamorph, but once I attempt to change any xml, the phone fails to function.
Any help would be appreciated.
Odexed roms can't be themed or modded, if you want themes and mods you have to use a deodexed rom that's why.
Odexed=no themes, faster startup
Deodexed=themes, mods etc

Ok, my bad. I thought it was possible since I was able to change the battery icons using ninjamorph.
If I install a deodexed rom and make the changes I want can i backup the rom as a odexed rom?
Hello guys.
I already searched the web and xda and can't find a thread which explains how to change them.
I want to change the color and maybe the style of my status bar icons.i read about different methods.
I don't really want to use a different rom,with go launcher ex i've got everything perfect except the status bar icons.
I read that the icons arw saved in framework-res.apk. but i can't find any sets of these file to change it out.
I have a stock rooted s2 with android 2.3.6
Thanks for your help

Go to you SystemUi.apk (in system/app folder), copy it to your PC.
Open it with rar or with zip7.
You will get acess to the res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Unrar or unzip this folder to your desktop. In it are all the icons that you wanna change... change them as you like... Put the folder back on the apk using the same rar or zip7.
Now - finally - you will have to resign the apk again (search how, 1st time it´s hard to get it right).
Push it back to the phone, backup the original as systemui.bak, and write this one over it.
Install it, reboot.... enjoy
Thanks me 10x if I helped .

DONT RE-SIGN SYSTEM APK'S
This will cause bootloops.

Edit:
I meant to ask if you tried UOT kitchen??
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Its easy to use but if you get stuck just ask.
Even simpler, use the theme kitchen.
http://uot.dakra.lt/
You can even use it for odexed (stock) roms.
Thank you guys.
I will try the online tool.
I would like to press the thanks button but can't find the thanks button in the app and even in browser

There is an app called ninja morph which can decompile the systemuto your sd card for you to play with, it also can recompile it, backup and then overwrite the original

Thank you anyway dude
There is actually an app called NinjaMorph that you can get from the play store, its what I used for my S2 to changed some icons and you can do it all on your phone, the app will unzip then zip the apk automatically, all you have to do is pick the PNG your replacing the old one with, make sure you got the new PNG in your phones SD card that's all.

is there a way to change other icons? like wifi, data etc.. i have xposed. but i can only change battery icons with it.
I have a question about how to edit the icons that appear in the app drawer.
i have got 100's of icons from various packs that i would like to use. i have applied some but only the system icons change.
is it possible to change the user apps icons? if so what file do i need to change?
the phone is rooted on .42 build with stock kernel and stock rom.
the phone has bootloader unlocked using test point tho i have never bothered with using that option when it comes to modding the phone.
any info or suggestions.
thank you in advance
Hey all I searched for my answer but couldn't come up with anything. I have downloaded some icon pack zip files and want to use them to change my icons for my apps. The only way I have found to do this is using root explorer unzipping the file and then long pressing the icon clicking it and using root explorer to search through to the folder and find the icon I want. This seems like a really long process to change every icon. Can you flash icon zips or how does it work?
Also another quick question. I just flashed Nexus Evolution 4.2.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907506 and then I tried to flash the dark horse theme that he links to in the second post. The ROM works fine without the theme but when I try and flash the theme, it sits at the boot screen forever and will not go any farther? Can you use any theme with any rom or how does that work?
Thanks
Nevermind about the icons, I was dumb and figured it out.
Anyone have any input on the themes

The icons are easier to change with a custom launcher like Nova or Apex.
You have to use themes built for the ROM. Some ROMs like CM & AOKP & others use the themechooser themes that you just select in settings.
Yeah the theme i tried was posted in the ROM that i downloaded so i figured it was fine.
