Just a simple mod that will keep the clock in the pull down present no matter the clock option you chose, including hide clock. Nothing else is included or changed.

Hi, stupid question. How did you manage the change the battery png's? I tried but can not find the location of the 204 png's in the SystemUI.apk
Thanks

I´m sure he flashed a theme for theme chooser.
But normally you´ll find the png´s in /rey/drawable xhdpi folder

Hello Lichti, I also already followed your MOD's; nice jobs you did.
I know that I can find the png's in the xhdpi folder but in the case of CM ROM's not. I managed to use a Battery_Mod tool from the command line but the size was not ok. On AndroidME, I just pasted the pictures I liked. I also need to mod the stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml's..... and can't on Ubuntu....

Updated. Please stay on topic, thanks.

How can I edit system-ui.apk properly in jellybean?

I know it can be done by 7-zip but i get some errors. Look at the screen shots here

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
In the first picture look at the notification bar.
I just edited the swagger toggle. It's resolution is the same as the resolution of the original file.
As I've spotted also original apk image in file manager changed from the smiling bean to the clock...

You can't use 7-zip. You need to decompile the APK with APKTool because the PNG's are encoded as 9-patch PNG's. Google these terms for more info, there are heaps of guides out there for editing APK resources.

Odp: How can I edit system-ui.apk properly in jellybean?
So all i have to change is to add black lines on the top and on the left on the image + rename the file to toggle swagger.9.png right?
Or I don't have to do this at all and I just have to use the apktool?

No, that won't work. The black lines are a decoded PNG file, but the .9.png's in the APK are encoded. APKTool encodes and decodes the PNG's as needed.
If the filename is called swagger.png inside APK then it's not a .9.png and doesn't need it. But the .9.png isn't needed in filename, it's just an easy indication for hackers/source builders that it's a 9-patch PNG. The graphics I see in the screenshot are a classic symptomn of an encoded .9.png losing it's hidden 9-patch layer from modification.
Just decompile the original APK with APKTool, make your mods and preserve the already existing 1px border that might be on any PNG files, then recompile the APK and resign if needed.

Removing the overlay on the left side of the status bar?

I have icons themed ICS blue. All the icons to the right hand side appear as ICS blue but the icons on the left hand side have an overlay that makes it darker... Any help would be appreciated.

Decompile the SystemUI.apk go to the values folder, open the dimens.xml file and find the <item type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha"> and change it to 100%. Recompile and push to /system/app.
And by the way, this post should not be here, it has nothing to do with development.

Trying to decompile lidroid-res.apk

I'm trying to decompile lidroid-res.apk using apktool. I just want to add translation for my native language. I know it is usually quite easy, you just have to add a /res/value-fr/ folder with a strings.xml file inside and then you translate the string contained in the strings.xml file. Unfortunately, I have trouble decompiling it, I get multiple errors. I already had framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk installed using "apktool if" command so it can't be the cause of my problem. Also, please take note that the lidroid-res.apk file come from this ModPack, in case it could be us find the solution.
Here's a screenshot showing the errors:

Got it to decompile. Turns out it was because I had switched some .png files (I had made the quickpanel background dark blue instead of the default grey), so I just took the original unmodified lidroid-res.apk, and it decompiled perfectly! Attached is the original lidroid-res.apk, decompiled (and compressed into a .rar archive). Translate it to French, and upload the changes here so I can incorporate them into the next version of Mod Pack II X please

Any way to remove grey circle background from lockscreen shortcuts?

If anyone could offer some advice I'd be very grateful!
I used Unicon to apply an icon pack across my device, so my home screen currently looks 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"
}
My lockscreen on the other hand displays the shortcut icons in grey circles:
What I'd like to do is remove those grey circles such that the shortcuts look like the ones on my home screen. I do have G3 Tweaksbox but it doesn't seem to offer a solution to this.
Thanks!

Open "lgkeyguard.apk" in /system/priv-apps/
via apk-decompile / winrar (extract the res/drawable-xxxhdpi folder)
Search the picture corresponding with the background you want to change.
Copy the recompiled apk back after recopying the picture.
Done.

Great, thanks! Unfortunately I've never dealt with decompiling/recompiling apk's before, so I'll have to approach this stuff carefully. I actually can't find lgkeyguard.apk in /system/priv-app/ using Root Browser though - is it possible that is has a different name / location in Lollipop?

/system/priv-app/LGKeyguard.apk
is the exact path for me (KK 4.4.2)
You could do a search for it using your filebrowser if it isn't there in LP.
Replacing pictures in apk files via Winrar is rather save.
I'd suggest that if you haven't tinkered with apk's b4.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
