Keeping custom theme when changing roms - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have changed the battery symbol, soft keys, and keyboard all using different flashable zip files. I modified one to include the battery symbols and soft keys and have a seperate one for the keyboard. My first question is the file I use has the systemui.apk in it is there a way to incorporate the keyboard in the file as well so I can flash one zip to get all my custom settings? Second question is im debating going from AOKP M3 to Build 23 being the flashable zip is structured for M3 will I have to find a new one for Build 23? Last question is being if I cant use the same zip as I use for M3 can I just pull the systemui from build 23 and put my files in that systemui and flash it using the same zip file. Thanks for any help its greatly appreciated im new to customizing my own stuff so trying to learn as I go.

Not sure about this post as a whole haha. Little confusing at times. What I can answer though, is that you can try flashing the m3 mods to your aokp23. If that doesn't work, then yes you can open up the system.apk and take files out of your m3 and replace them in your b23 systemUI.
Are you using flash able zips as in you are going in to recovery and flashing them, or are they zips you run through metamorph or zipthemer?

The zip im using goes through recovery its on I originally just used to change the battery symbol. Thanks for the reply I guess I put a bunch in there I can see now how it can be a bit confusing lol.

Look into making it a metamorph. It's not that hard, that way your mods work on any ROM and not just the original.
The basic idea of metamorph is that it just contains the resources for your mod (ie just the battery pngs) and it will copy the resources to where they need to go.

[Q] [HELP] Porting some SystemUI tweaks to XWLP*

Hey guys,
I found this really nice pull down menu here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26035085&postcount=713
Except with this mod, I cannot add it onto my XWLP8 because it was made for XWLP9.
I've figured out how to move the battery icons over (by extracting a bit and looking thru then using the battery mod tool). I just would like to get pretty much the whole thing over including the transparent background and the black look of it.
What would be the best way of going about this? Or would it be better for me to just upload by SystemUI.apk and Framework.apk to let you guys put it together?
Well, I've been trying and trying to get it working. I have very little experience with android hacking, but I went into the Battery mod zip that i flashed on before and realised there was a MORPH folder within - i assumed whatever was in the folder would morph with the original system files. I chucked the files from the XWLP9 mod into the Morph folder in the places, and zipped it up again - I actually named the zip lol because I thought it would just stuff up my secondary boot i use for testing this stuff, and it actually worked. It looks like its working for most areas of the OS. Although I'm not too sure yet...

[Request] H+ Icon on JB, need some help

Hi xda devs,
there was a Thread by BraydenJames that modded a H+ Icon in AOKP. As a T-Mobile user, I find that very useful. All it did was changing case 15 (HSPAP) in statusbar/policy/NetworkController.java/updateDataNetType() to use the 4G Icon.
Problem is, I'm using bigxie's stock JB ROM now and there is no such mod available. (At least, not to my knowledge)
I tried modding it in myself, but got stuck. Windows is bad plattform for developing. Still, I managed to extract the relevant part of the source with dex2jar and edited the 4G Icon into an H+ icon. All left to do would be applying the diff and compiling the source back in an apk.
I zipped the JB SystemUI.apk, the diff and the changed png files and uploaded them to Dropbox:
SystemUI-HplusIcon.zip
I know I'm asking a lot, but I would be very grateful if someone could spend a moment of his time to decompile the apk, apply the changes and compile it
Thanks

PS: If I could install it in CWM per update.zip, that would be awesome.

[request] circle battery stock rom AT&T

hello everyone
I have spend countless hours trying to figure how to get 1% circle battery mod on my s3 and no luck.
can someone out there help please.
Odexed rom.
Here is link of imgs that i want to use.
http://db.tt/qMI9hUzA
Hi ,
I am not sure if that is the best way but works 100% for my Galaxy SIII - Odexed rom. Go to the UOT Kitchen (I know it is not oficially compatible with ROMs 4 and higher yet ...) web page and prepare the "tiny" battery style set of icons ( I think that is what you are looking for) adjusting colors as you wish. Upload two files: framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your Android and "cook it". Once you download the mod do not flash it (it would not work) but unzip it and copy the modified SystemUI.apk into the Android: System/app folder overwriting the original one. Then restart the phone and everything should work perfect anyway works for me (I tested 5 different sets of icon).
PS. I used to use the Battery Mod Tool before which worked perfect on Galaxy S2 but does not on Galaxy S3 with the stock ROM yet.
Good luck!
Can you upload one set pof vattery please as im at work and i would like to try it. Then if it works ill cook me one for my taste.

Once you select the battery mod from the UOT Kitchen you will be able to generate the preview and check them out before cooking.

Pulling Rasbeanjelly theme from .zip

Is it possible to remove the theme that is in Rasbeanjelly from within its flashable .zip file and transport it into another flashable ROM .zip?
I have tried to replace the SystemUI.apk in my .zip with the one inside Rasbeanjelly's but when after I flashed it all I got were SystemUI force closes. Or am I replacing the wrong files?
SystemUI is ROM dependent so you can't take it from one and put it in another.
So it is not possible to pull the theme from Rasbeanjelly and put it in another ROM?

[How-to] Change background of smart cover window of Find7a; flashable zip included

DISCLAIMER
Flash at your own risk.
INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone, This is my first time posting my own thread, I've been lurking around these forums since the release of Galaxy Note 1 (N7000) ,my first android phone. I've learnt to flash custom roms, root devices, etcetera. This is my first time I've extracted and repacked an apk file.
Anyways, I've learnt how to change the background wallpaper of the Smart Cover app whilst the cover is on the phone. I've used this site as my source; http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/m...-sfondo-per-le-custodie-easy-cover-etc.17149/
Credits goes to the author for the original apk and zip files. I am no app developer neither am I proficient in creating custom scripts or apk files. I just repacked the apk and zip files and replaced the jpg files located here:
\system\app\OppoLeather\res\drawable-hdpi\window_bg.jpg
\system\app\OppoLeather\res\drawable-xxhdpi\window_bg.jpg
​The first 3 flashable files were created by the aforementioned author from the linked forum.
INSTRUCTIONS
I flashed this using the custom ROM, Kulay OS v1.1 on my Find 7a X9006, on CWM Philz Touch Recovery 6.42.2.
I believe you will not face any problem using the stock ROM on any Custom Recovery.
First download the attached 7zip file, then extract
Choose your preferred flashable zip based on the attached screenshots in this thread
Copy it in the internal/External SD card of your phone
Reboot into recovery
Perform a wipe cache and Dalvik-cache (you will not lose your settings and apps installed)
Select the zip file you downloaded earlier and flash
Reboot the phone

Hi leihuwan,
Thanks for the fine work. Working fine on my 9076, but it doesn't wake the screen when i open the smart cover. I have to double tap to wake it. Although not a big problem, would be nice to see a fix for it.
Once again thank you.
P.S tried four of your mods and the problem persists on all of them.
Hey,
I love this, thanks a lot! I always use BG 01, it's perfect.
However, it does not wake the device anymore if you use the new ColorOS 2.0.0i
Will you fix this? I'd love to continue using it, but if it prevents the device from waking up I can't
Thanks for this !
Each one of them, so much nicer than the stock one...
Great job.

What version of ColorOS are you using? Have you tried setting screen lock to None at Settings > Safety & Privacy > Screen Lock?

I am terribly sorry. Truthfully I am not a programmer and my knowledge in coding and packaging APK files is very limited. I only translated the instructions I've discovered at oppoforums seen at the link at OP. Maybe they changed something in the apk of the official ColorOS 2.0 release. If someone more knowledgeable than me is present, feel free to chime in.

Alright, thanks.
I read what you did and fixed the problem myself since it's pretty easy.
I took the original OppoLeather.apk of ColorOS 2.0.0i and modified the background of it and put it in your .zip
This works without problems for me and the device now wakes up properly. Yes, they did some changes to it in 2.0.0i.
If anyone else wants it, in the attachment is a working flashable .zip for ColorOS 2.0.0i with Background picture 1 of the original post.
please help...

Find the oppoleather.apk (it's somewhere in the /root partition of the phone)
copy it to your computer
rename it from .apk to .zip
you can now open it with any zip browser.
Replace the window_bg.jpg in /res/drawable-hdpi and /res/xxhdpi with a picture of your choice.
Make sure your picture is also a .jpg, has the exactly same name and resolution.
After you replaced the pictures in the .zip you can close your file browser and rename the file into .apk
Your apk is now modified.
To flash it:
Download any of the flashable .zip's the creator of this thread put up.
when you have a flashable .zip open it.
In there will be the OppoLeather.apk and some other files. Replace the OppoLeather.apk with your modified .apk.
Make sure your apk has the exact same name as the one you're replacing it with.
After replacing you can close your file browser and copy the modified flashable .zip on your phone.
Now you only have to flash it (see instructions in first post).
Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I have a question concerning this little mod. I recently got the N3 and since the cover had a square window, the default easy cover window of the OPPO N3 is a circle.
So, I decided to flash one of the modified packages provided by the op and they work great. However, there is a slight misalignment - unsurprisingly - due to the resolution and size differences between the 7/7a and the N3. What I would like to know, is whether it is possible to to decompile and modify the apk, in order to place the small window screen a bit higher. I have decompiled the apk myself, but I haven't yet figured which string to modify.
A small help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You can do it manually with a root enable file browser.
Find the OppoLeather.apk in /system/app/Oppoleather, copy it into your phone storage then transfer it to your computer, open the apk with 7-Zip, navigate to find window_bg_circle (.png or jpg), extract it, modify the picture while keeping its dimensions, put it back into the apk, transfer the apk in your phone storage. With the file browser, change the suffix of the original OppoLeather.apk into .bak, copy the modified apk into the /system/app/Oppoleather folder, modify its permissions according to the old file (i.e. rw-r--r--). That's it.
Thanks on behalf of many owners here. It's rare to see someone reply to something in such a helpful manner and in plain english instead of abbreviated jargon
