Hello all, I have posted a tutorial like this about a week ago but i would like to explain more in depth and post updates of what i will be doing. Here I will explain how to mod/change the signal bar icons with the file I have uploaded. I will post more as time gos on, but for now ill start off with one file. This is for the virgin mobile wfs version i will be posting more for the gsm version. People that have sense based roms that would like a diffrent look or color rather then stock htc would probably like this. (I no some may not)This is for virgin mobile version, the png imgs are already named and ready to be dropped in its designated folder (for virgin mobile verison), those that have the gsm version can download these imgs but will have to rename them to what there phone files are i will upload later and rename for gsm version
*Steps for virgin mobile/cdma version*
1. using root explore or es file manager, copy and paste you system.ui to your sd card
2. connect phone to pc and open system.ui using winzip
3. once opened, go to res,drawable mdpi
4. since the new signal bar will only have 4 bars not 6 you will have to delete these files inside drawable mdpi to make the new icons work- "cdma_sys_6signal_0" "cdma_sys_6signal_5" "cdma_sys_6signal_6"
5. download the zip file you wish and extract it to your desktop
6. select all the img inside the extracted zip folder and drop into drawable-mdpi
7. it will ask to over right, click yes for all
8. save system.ui in your sd card, close winzip and disconect phone from pc
9. from root explore or file manager move system.ui back to system/app and click yes to over write
10. your phone will foreclose, dont panic reboot and your done!
*If you want to remove the vibrate, gps and no sound icon from the status bar apply this step in number 4 (this is optional), delete these files.*
For vibrate-"stat_sys_ringer_vibrate"
For sound off-"stat_sys_ringer_silent"
For gps on-"sym_gpsone_0_sprint"
For gps off-sym_gpsone_3_sprint"
*Click thanks if you like!*
*Here is a shot of mine with no vibrate icon, gps and sound with cyan signal and data icons*

I like your cyan icons, very nice!
I'd advise against deleting the files though. It'll work but if you ever need to decompile and recompile the app, it could cause problems. Apktool will expect those files to be there.
You could make them transparent or mess around with the smali to stop them being displayed in the first place.
I haven't seen this thread in so long! I forgot about it but thanks for the info! Usually now I just make the icons transparent instead of deleting

If you feel like being a perfectionist, you could always try stopping the icons from popping up to begin with.

use rootexplorer to copy your twframework.apk to your phne's sd card.then copy it to your pc and open it using winrar or winzip.then replace the corresponding files in the folder "drawable-hdpi" with the provided ones.then copy the twframework.apk back on your sd card and then to system/app using rootexplorer.
rename your twframework.apk to twframework.apk.bak first to have a backup.

Okay so I'm running androids erection v3.1 and tried to do a little bit of theming on my own. I pulled both framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk to my laptop then using 7 zip opened up the archives and extracted the drawable hdpi folders to my desktop, edit the images I wanted and put them back in the proper folders and updated the archive. Then i put both apks on my sd card and signed using zipsigner 2 then moved them back to where they belong and rebooted. I got nothing but force closes can anyone help?

Hey man, unles you are changing anything OTHER than pngs, you DO NOT have to extract the pngs. Just drag and drop what you want. Ie pngs you edited. In other words, Open frame work with 7zip, take the pngs you've edited and make sure the name and file exstension matches what you are about to replace and drop it in the proper file OVER the existing png. This works for JUST pngs. Then close 7zip and you are done. No other special commands needed...
Alright thanks ill try this
Did you edit any .9 png's? If yes, you need to draw the patches and recompile them before injecting back into the apks. That is most likely why you got FC's.

You have to change the permissions of both the System UI & Framework apks to look like this before pushing to their respective places. I use Root Explorer for doing so.

Also if your rom is not deoxeded and your putting a regular theme into it, (odexed) it won't work... the rom and theme have to match... deoxeded to deoxeded and odexed to odexed (odexed would be the full Rom. Just change the pngs in the rom and then reload the rom). Hope this helps...
So I can switch the images from inside the rom with the images I want then flash the rom?

You must move the items to the system folder before u can change permissions. If you get denied for trying to move the apks make sure the system folder is mounted as Read/Write in the top right corner of Root Explorer. When you have correctly did this, you will see Mount R/O in the top corner. Now change the permissions. You should get a "permission change successfully" message on screen. Now copy the apk to it's respective folder & reboot. I recommend doing one at a time.
I did it! I just switched out my images with the ones in the rom and flashed it and it worked . Thanks to everyone that helped
I am off to try the same thing... All I want to do is change a few images so hopefully I can handle this

Goodluck mate!
Hi all,
I thought I'd share my modded Mms.apk with you. This was pulled from Calk's latest ROM. It should, however, work with any EL29 ROM. The only modifications are colors of the message bubbles, pulled from this MMS app. I tried using the app, but I was getting file compression errors when sending images, so I just modded the original Mms.apk slightly.
AS ALWAYS - YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Install via adb (Windows):
1. Connect your phone to PC
2. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
3. open command prompt in the same folder as Android SDK or make sure you have PATH specified to it; place Mms.apk in the same folder
4. Type adb start-server at command prompt
5. Type adb remount
6. Type adb push Mms.apk /system/app
7. Type adb reboot
Once your phone reboots, you will have the new MMS.apk fully functional. You may have to re-add the Messaging link to the bottom bar.
If you have ROOT EXPLORER, you can simply copy Mms.apk into your /system/app folder replacing the original file. Back it up first, though, if you want to revert back to it.
Enjoy.

Cant you just drop it on your SD card then navigate your phone using ES file explorer or root explorer and copy and paste it into the system/app folder replacing the one thats in there, then reboot to get it to work?
If I am incorrect please let me know before I make a fatal error.... lol
I can't speak for THIS apk, however I just took a mms.apk from another rom, did exactly as you described but also changed the permissions, and it works fine. Why don't you make a back up and give it a go.

You can certainly install it using ROOT explorer. Works either way.

Honestly, I have no idea. This was a simple PNG swap from another Mms.apk.

You can get your own colors. For that you have to edit the message_bubble_xxx_.9.png files located in the res/drawable-hdpi directory inside the Mms.apk. These .9.png files are system-resizable PNGs that have to be edited with a special tool, like Draw9patch. If you google "how to edit .9.png files" you will find all sorts of tutorials and explanations.
Good luck.
here is a brief visual tutorial on porting skins from hdpi to mdpi
had a few people ask for my help so i thought i would do a tutorial
firstly you need to decompile the apk you want to theme/resize using Apk Manager
1) Download apkmanager ( http://www.apkmultitool.com/?q=node/5 ) and install it.
2) Put the apk you want to decompile in 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder.
3)Copy com.htc.resources.apk from /system/framework with Root Explorer to your sd card
copy to pc and put in APK Manager/other folder
4) Double click on 'script'
5) Type 22 i.e. 'set current project' and press enter.
6) Type 1 and press enter
7) Type 9 and press enter to decompile apk.
8) Wait until the decompilation finishes.
9) Minimize command line and go to projects -> filename.apk -> make the required changes (see attached images)
10) Switch back to command-line, type 11 and press enter.
11) After sometime you'll get a message 'is this a system apk?', type n and press enter.
12) Then type 12 to sign apk
13) Go to 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder, your new file will be signedfilename.apk
14)Copy the file to SD card
15)Copy the file to system/app with Root Explorer
16)Change permissions to RW-R-R

this is a side by side comparison of mdpi and hdpi images
the quickest way of resizing is with Faststone Photo Resizer
Remember to add all images from drawable-hdpi and drawable-port-hdpi
most images will come out the right size give or take 1 or 2 pixels
normal PNG's will be ok,it's those pesky .9PNG's that need editing the most
after resizing .9PNG's will either need patching with draw9patch.bat included in Android SDK
or you can copy and paste minus the 1 pixel border in photo editing software aka Photoshop
I prefer to use Photoshop method
after you've finished editing your images goto point 10) type 11 to recompile
use a base skin such as slate
if you want to edit colors.xml for volume bars etc i will upload ColorEdit.exe
most skins only need 60-70 of the images to be edited,mostly the main ones you can see ie. rosie buttons widget headers and footers etc
Time and Patience needed Happy Editing
PS if you're porting somebody else's theme/skin don't forget to seek their permission first

hi. well this wasn't really clear to me, so i have several questions.. i got samsung with an ICS rom. most system files, that i want to change their icons, have the names preceded with "sec" (i.e. secMMS.apk, secBrowser.apk). i tried to flash an icon zip, to no avail, it didn't work. probably becuase of these difference in names. i also found, in the tmp folder of the icon pack, the Icon.sh file.. it contains the addresses of the files. the contents are like:
#!/tmp/busybox sh
/tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/Browser.apk res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png /sdcard/unpack/Browser.apk/res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png >> /sdcard/test.log 2>&1
should i change the addresses and make it like /tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/secBrowser.apk res/drawable-ld... ?
also. my rom is odexed. so i have secBrowser.apk and secBrowser.odex ... this applies to other system apps.
can i flash the zips normally, or do i have to take into account the odex files?
please enlighten me. thnx.
