First thing that came in mind was to edit the settings.apk file. Remember that this is only my theory, As I changed the wallpaper on my expanded-notification-bar with this method, do at your own risk.
decompress it, look for wallpaper value in the xml files, then look for a file with a same name on the res folder, rename your wallpaper-file to match the name of the black background file.
Don't recompile or anything, open up your original settings.apk using 7zip, overwrite the black-background file with your new-wallpaper file, put it back on your phone.
Sorry if it is unclear, I'm Nowhere near my PC
Have a good day!

Shouldn't i look into framework-res for the wallpaper?
Btw, I saw a tutorial in XDA for Samsung Epic 4G but the regarding files are in res/values/styles.xml. But I have no idea what is the name for it in our Samsung Wonder.
HELP!
could you gave me the background wallpaper? thats really cool man!
oops, my bad. After looking at the framework-res files, it MIGHT be the menu_background.png, haven't tested it yet,though, had no spare time, sorry, and good luck

The file name are same, but you need to decompile your framework-res.apk with apktool, not just extract it by using 7zip or winrar.
If you're extract framework-res.apk with 7zip or winrar, you are not able to get the values folder and the styles.xml inside.

Running a deodexed 2.2 rom with a custom theme that I love and don't want to part with, but one thing I would love to change are the white boxes that come up in apps. (Whats shown here on the bottom)

Is there a transparent or black theme that I could change those to without altering anything else?
From searching this forum I found many transparent staus/notification bars but no transparent menus yet.
The two files you need to edit are menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png and menu_background.9.png. Both are in framework-res in the drawable-hdpi folder. Be warned if you make em black you will need to invert the text also or it'll be black on black and useless.

Thanks so much man.
Ok I found the files in question through the framework.apk through root explorer but I don't think me going in and editing the .png image will work on it's own right? I can't just extract the image, change it, and plug it back in and have it work right?
Ok searching some more looks like I will need Ninjamorph to just change out the .png files. Lets see how this goes. Thanks again!

Thats exactly what you do.
Put the framework-res.apk on your desktop
Extract it
Go to those images and edit them
Drop your edited images back into their proper path in the actual .apk itself
adb push that apk back into system/framework.
Reboot. Set perms with root explorer on that modded apk and reboot again.
Done
Ok thanks Wild, I just edited my last post and I am guessing I can eliminate some of that (connecting to the PC) if I just use Ninjamorph.
Well after following the Ninjamorph directions to a T. I got stuck in boot loops and never got to seee how teh finished product came out.
Will probably just try tomorrow on my computer doing it the other way.
Anyway thanks for the help guys and have a nice night.

They'll be under /system/framework/framework-res.apk
You'll have to edit 1 or 2 things depending on where you're coming from. If your ROM already has a 1% battery mod (meaning it shows the percentage already), all you have to do is edit the image files it displays. They'll be under res > drawable-hdpi. I think there's ~206 relevant images for battery. If you don't already have a 1% battery mod (doesn't show percentage already), you'll have to also edit 2 xml files. They'll be under res > drawable and they're called stat_sys_battery.xml an stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
Good luck!
Actually my Ron don't have have the % ...
thanks, I'll tray...

Just use UOT Kitchen. You pick the mod you want, then upload systemui.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework-res.apk. Hit submit and it makes a flashable .zip for you.

The easier way if you both A) are interested in using one of their pre made designs and not making a custom design and more importantly, B) not using any kind of mod or theme on your ROM. if you are using any kind of mod or theme, flashing that zip will override your theme because you're replacing the files that contain a large portion of your theme or mod
It's done, I made my custom design or not custom, take one from UOT but can't use any file from my actual ROM because always get error....
Here is the my screenshot.

I'm looking for some possible advice for adding extended toggles to an ics rom. Another thread may be better, but I thought I'd start on home turf.
What I'm looking for is statusbarservice.smali in any of the new ics systemui classes.Dex files. Either I am not following the directions correctly, or the classes.dex file for our new systemui is dif than before.
When I baksmali the classes.dex from systemui I look in smali/com/android/systemui/* and do not find the "status" folder that a lot of the "how to" tutorials direct you to, to add the necessary code to direct systemui to the quick panel settings. So long story long...anyone want to help me find the appropriate smali file to edit to get us some extended toggles? I can't find StatusBarService.smali in any of the new systemui apks. There are some similar smali files in other folders but I'm not sure where to start. When I open up the classes.dex files from other Samsung phones that have been modded(like the Note) I find the appropriate files. Any ideas/help? Thx in advance

Thx, we got the Smali/baksmali thing down, it was just a matter of looking for a file that does not exist on our phone on ICS. Have figured out there's a new set of files that need to be modded, that was the issue. Its dif than the other GS2's and standard toggle mods, so its gonna be interesting the get working...

I know ICS is different so it's no surprise that you're running across something like that. The best suggestion I have is to search for that .smali file by name with whatever file browser you're using.

Finally, how to made it? I can't find StatusBarService.smali in smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar. My phone is ICS 4.0.3
I just found some icons that are in a HOX theme and I'd like to get them on my phone....I d/l the theme but have no idea how to decompile the framework_res to gain access to the icons. I've never done anything like this before so any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Just extract the contents. You can get to the icons easily that way. I used root explorer to do that, but you might be able to use another file manager.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If you are not adding new icons or changing any XML files you can just drag and drop icons/PNG files from one .apk to another with 7zip
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Just to clarify....I am wanting to extract the icons from the update I d/l so that I could take some of them out and put them on my phone manually since the framework_res being decompiled is for the HOX. I was able to decompile it via APKtool....took a little figuring out but I was able to work it out and decompile it but one problem......I was not able to find said icons. I found all others but not the one's I was after The icons I wanted were these here:

}
I wanted the v3 one's
Here is the update I d/l
http://www.mediafire.com/?tumimia8v9403wk
So after having no luck with the framework_res file, I decided to try to decompile the SystemUI apk....for some reason APKtool keeps erroring out on me when trying to do that one, not sure why. Anybody know another way to decompile these things?
And just a FYI, this update is a flashable zip for the HOX, i'm not sure if that changes how things are done but someone above said just unzip the file and I should be able to access, drap and drop the icons easily.....not so much. If it were that easy I'd have done that before I asked about decompiling since that was the first thing I tried
What kind of error on decompiling? Bad magic error?

Just for comparisons sake.....
When I decompiled the framework_res, it said "decompiling apk" and once that was done it just went back to the command prompt
When I attempted to decompile the systemui, it said "decomiling apk" and then right under it said "test", after a few seconds it said something like can't find system file, read log (option 23). I read the log and it was just general blabber, nothing specific to the issue.
However, I was reading a tutorial on apktool this morning and they had theirs setup a little differently than I had mine so I set it up like theirs and during the process I ended up in the "projects" folder and guess what was there? The systemui folder. So I went in there and sure enough it had decompiled. Weird....but the icons I was after still weren't there either.
Turns out the icons are not a part of the update I d/l, it's a seperate d/l, which I have now as well as access to the icons
Thanks guys for the help though

You will have to replace some png files in the framework-res.apk of your rom. You can change it with winrar. First get those 3 pngs from the Nexus rom. Then open your framework-res.apk with winrar and search for the png in the drawable or minmap folder. Then rename the respective pngs of the Nexus icon to that of the Xperia icon and replace it in the apk.

Hi there! While I was trying to implement this for my rom, I found out which file to replace. Download this zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?758mnayrlt3dee4
It has the Nexus navigation icon bars. Open your SystemUI.apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and search for pngs which are ic_back.png, ic_home.png etc. Just replace these pngs with the ones in the downloaded zip and enjoy!
been looking everywhere for this..thanks bro :good:
[edit: can you help me out bro..i got the portrait icons good see]
[but then i found out in landscape it changes to the xperia navbar icons again]
[but what i wanted was this ]
['ve been looking for the files to replace in my systemui.apk and framework-res.apk but i just cant find them..can you point it out please?]
edit: check that, i found it..thanks for the tutorial anyway :good:
