I am running Virtuous ROM 2.37 (never upgraded because this version just runs best on my phone for some reason) and I replaced the all the notification/statusbar icons with ICS ones, but I had two issues.
1) The Battery didn't change to the ICS version
2) Under Notifications the tabs at the bottom are now oddly transparent.
Does anyone know which .apk I need to modify the PNGs in to change the battery icons and what PNG in the SYSTEMUI.apk file i need to change to make the tabs normal again?
Thanks
UPDATE: figured out the battery change. Now just need the notification PNG.

Does anyone know how to change the clock color to white I have no clue where its stored

Guessing you installed the leaked CM rom? If so, yes, the default is white. Go into SETTING>CYANOGEN MOD SETTINGS>USER INTERFACE>STATUS BAR and go through the options to enable/disable, as well as change colors. Should appear right as you change them.
No I themed it myself I was just wondering if someone knew how the change that

It involves modifying a file called classes.dex within a .jar but the instructions don't match up for this device. The file isn't structured the same so changing the font color for the status bar is going to be tricky until someone figures it out...
download and extract the attached zip
put services.jar in the framework folder
put status_bar.xml in the layout folder in framework-res.apk
im assuming you know the rest lol if not pm me
I tried pushing the framework-res.apk and that was a derka derka moment. Completely borked my device. I know no other way.
So I've been trying to create a flashable .zip or metamorph for this modification but am obviously not smart enough.
Is it possible for this to be done by someone else? Or has it already been done and we're not using the search tool well enough?
Ok I deodexed my own rom and got the white clock thanks

I'm looking to change the png of the status bar(which hold the clock/running apps, running service), however I can't seem to locate the files for it.
I've done it before but forgot, it's located somewhere in systemui or framework-res, but can't recall the name.

I am also interested in changing the transparency in the notification bar in CM9. As far as i read you have to pull SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk from your phone, decompile it, change code then push it back in phone. I don't really know how to work with ApkTool so if anyone has an easier method for the uneducated, i will be very grateful.
Hi everyone,
I'm using the deodexed 4.2.1 rom on My Galaxy Nexus with a custom SystemUI.apk that works (it doesn't make notification and navigation bar disappear) taken from this thread.
I successful replaced unwanted image files in the apk with 7zip and now I'm trying to change the clock color in the taskbar.
I do the following things, in order:
1. Decompile apk with apktools
2. Change values of color in the proper xmls
3. Recompile apk
4. Replace SystemUI with the new one
5. Clean Cache/Dalvik and reboot
After that notification and navigation bar disappear. Am i missing something?
Help please! D':
Does the modified apk have the proper permissions?

I think so (rw r r).
That's my SystemUI.apk
I would like to change clock/date color in notification/toggle mode from ics blue to white.
Hey mate!!!!!
You must sign apk with signapk everytime you make changes into an apk.
http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/ in dex2jar you will find d2j-apk-sign.sh/bat script
Seems that i told you bull**** coz systemUI never have to be signed...

So, restoring old "stock" SystemUI.apk you get phone working well again?

thank you for the reply, I have tried the android Simplistic control app and still the same when I try to change its still the same blue circle battery icon that came with the Omega rom, I did notice something strange, when it comes to a certain percentage it would show the custom icon I installed then disappear after that. Any idea what the problem is??

You could always edit the battery icons yourself. Just paste the wanted battery icons into SystemUI.apk where the battery icons are supposed to be and push it into /system/app with the correct permissions and voila you're done.
Doing this quite often when there are themes I want to apply but they don't come in CWM flashable zip for the rom I'm using

Its not only about installing the SF app, you'll have to flash its content as well that is when you make changes on the control app it will reflect.

Just copy the systemui API from your system/app folder to your sdcard and open it using 7zip or similar program on your PC. Locate the icon files within the app, most likely under res/drawable/hdpi or xhdpi and copy the icon you want straight into the apk and overwrite. No need to extract the apk. Note this only works when replacing images. If you want 1% battery, you'll have to edit some xmls as well (dunno which one though).
And just copy the apk back to where you found it and give it the correct permission (644) and reboot.

SO...with the release of the new Sense 5 Roms for our beloved One X I'm not seeing any themes (I know it's early).
I've had a go at porting a few over by decompiling the systemui.apk, updating the images and recompling as you used to with the original sense 4+ roms but keep losing my status bar!
I'm just starting small at the moment, changing wifi icon, battery, signal etc etc but then I'm going to move onto app icons. The venom themes are epic and it would be awesome to see a few on the sense 5 ui!
Wondering if the geniuses here can shed some light, I haven't found any tutorials or help guides as of yet, hopefully this will start as a decent pool of information,

which tool are you using?
if you are using apktool, have you copied META-INF folder , from the original APK, inside the new one? ( Old signature)
after pushing it to the device, have you set permissions? (rw-r-r--)
Cache and Dalvik-cache wiped ?

ooooo didn't think about the META-INF...I'll give it a shot in the morning.
All the other steps i've done, multiple times. It's as if the systemui.apk doesn't apply during boot so maybe it is the meta file!
And I'm using apktool to decompile...recently found it better that going through the hassle of virtuous 10 suite

yep, apktool doesn't sign the apk, so you need to keep the old signature
Signing systemui.apk is not necessary. I tested many times.
To change pngs(especially patch9 pngs), just copy and paste to the apk with 7-zip if apktool get error or SystemUI FCs.
P.S. Please use the most original apk to modify if it's failed in previous build.

Not bothering with patch9s I hate those things!
For some reason everytime I push a new
SystemUI.apk to my phone, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik (for good measure) it won't apply so I lose the status bar and background etc. Essentially no system ui applies!
It's a pickle, im on ARHD at the moment so will have a go at decompiling! And try again
Funny thing is, someone made a made mod on here already for 1% battery, and even installing that doesn't work!...I'll keep tinkering

unfortunately for me is the same.
i'm trying to add a new item to settings.apk (SuperUser), i have edited all required xmls, added png, recompiled than signed, but no way to make it work.
i have also tried with zipsigner app using platform keys, but no result.. Settings won't show
Success (well a little)
Soooo....I've managed to mod the battery!
I'm going for a sort of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon 80's style eventually, but this is the first step! Now for the wifi/signal etc. etc.
So this is what I did...
Got an existing circle battery mod with the same naming convention (since I can't be bothered to rename 100 files )
Recoloured them all in photoshop and increased the pixels size to 50 x 50
Deleted the battery icons in the existing SystemUI.apk via 7zip
Added the modified battery icons to the apk
Then pushed to the phone via adb
It automatically rebooted and viola! I may run 'fixed permissions' from recovery to be safe and wipe cache/dalvik to make sure but it's looking good!

hey guys, if you are only changing icons, you don't need to decompile just swap the images by throwing the img in the .apk with ex(7zip) you only need to decompile with xml files and such and if you need a .9 img use the dot9 patcher in sdk then use this" https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74861217/draw9compiler.zip " to compile it before throwing it in the .apk. to use the compiler throw the .9 patched img into example1 then run the prog at main folder then look in done for compiled img

Yep already doing this mate, it's way easier than decompiling and recompiling.
Thanks for the input though!
Little more progress...
Managed to get all the status bar icons themed! I consider that great progress at the moment!:laugh:
View attachment 2201536
Almost there...
I'm pretty much there with what I want to do now, status bar sorted (don't know about the clock color yet) also went ahead and did the nav bar icons or prism icon as they call it, and change the home nav bar background to transparent to declutter it a bit.
I'll upload my systemui and prism files once I'm finished so anyone can have a go.
When the Viper team decide to throw a sense 5 rom out the tweaks are going to make everything soooooo much simpler! :good:

A few lock screen touches...
Modded the lock screen ermm....lock and changed the 'answer' 'decline' buttons too a neon style.
Also changed the music controls on the lock screen but they aren't as pretty as I'd like!
