there in the framework-res.apk and easy to replace, if you find some emoticons you like i can replace them for you

can u tell the method in PLAIN ENGLISH please?

Same as the guy above..oh and if it's not too much to ask, can you pls give us a step by step guide on how to do this.

1. Extract your framework-res.apk. you will find it in /system/framework/.
2. download and install 7zip, on your pc.. its a free program.
3. on your pc, right click on your extracted framework-res.apk, find the 7zip contex menu, and click on open archive (DONT EXTRACT IT)
4. A box will open, now navigate to the \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder, inside there you will find the emoticons, they have names like "emo_im_cool.png" and "emo_im_crying.png". find some suitable replacement emoticons, and rename them to the match the file names in the folder.
5. just drag and drop your new emoticons in the folder, and replace the existing ones.
6. close 7zip. now download the update.zip template i've attached at the bottom, unzip it and copy your modified framework to the framework folder inside the zip, go back to the root of the zip and zip it back up.
7. copy the update.zip to the root of your sd card and flash it from recovery

I found an easier solution, will post it IF succesful

But what if you just want to replace the text instead of the image?

[LOCKRING][ZIPTHEMER] MIL-DOT Reticle lockring for CM10 (others?)

Here's a lockring I made with the MIL-DOT reticle. It's white then turns red when you drag it on top of a target. It will work with CM Jellybean ROMs for sure (I've tested on CM10.1). Probably will work with CM ICS ROMs and maybe some other non CM ROMs as well but I can't say for sure as I've not tested them.
It's a zipthemer file, some instructions on how to use zipthemer at the bottom of the post.

***How to use Zipthemer***
note: you may need a ROM you have flashed in order to configure your edify script (this is the script that tells the recovery what to do when you run your update.zip file)
1. Install zipthemer from the play store! It's free!!
2. Open up the menu and click on update edify (you will only have to do this once)
3. Updating Edify screen (complete either Option 1 or Option 2)
- option 1: browse to the ROM you have on your phone and click it -- done
- option 2: click on download, then exit out of the screen, click options, settings, update script format, select your phone. If your phone isn't present, see option 1.
4. Download the zipthemer file in my post, and using a file explorer, move it to the "zipthemer" folder on your sd card.
5. open zipthemer again, click the "+theme" button, select the theme you want to apply
6. click "*output" button and pick the name you want for your update file (or accept the default). Leave the "-update.zip" at the end of the file name and "/sdcard/" at the beginning so it will be in your sdcard root directory and easier to find when you go to flash it.
7. click "build it!", it will ask you if you want to create a backup file, I usually do just in case so I don't have to re-flash the entire ROM to undo my changes if I want to.
8. Exit zipthemer, reboot to recovery, flash your new zip file, reboot system, enjoy!
more notes:
a. as always, it's a pretty good idea to run a nandroid anytime you play with your system (this is a do as I say, not as I do kinda statement)
b. A lot of these type of themes where some system files are modified or system apps are modified, it's good to do a wipe dalvik/cache
c. if you update your ROM to a new nightly/RC/stable, re-build the zipthemer file. It's likely that this isn't necessary, but unless you know just what the CM team changed it's probably a good idea.

Nice! :thumbup:

1) first of all be sure, that you want to add it to a samsung based rom
2) after that download the note2 mini rom from the rom section (you will find it with searching)
3) extract the .zip file, search the systemui, secsettings and secsettingsprovider (they are in the preload floder)
4) put them on your phone, replace the original 3 files, with the new ones (use root explorer)
5) you must make a factory reset, otherwise the secsettingsprovider wont do the job
6) enjoy, and dont forget to thanx

[Q] [REQUEST] How to apply a different navbar to a CM11 theme engine?

You see, I am now using an android L theme on the new theme engine on PA BETA 1 but these navbar playstation icons bother me quite a bit. I much prefer the ones I use with softkeyz (no it doesn't work changing with it), the so called alternate android L's navbar.
Can it be themed manually or something? These ones to be more precise:
{
"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"
}

Anyone has a clue? Someone with experience on themes or knows how to do it.

I was exactly searching for this !

I got it! Had to edit the theme by decompiling and recompiling it back with the navbar icons I wanted. It is not that hard though.

so easy...change your theme apk file to zip format by renaming it.open with win rar and unzip it.you have some extracted folders and follow this:
assets<overlays<com.android.systemui<res<drawable-xxhdpi.in this folder looking for these PNG files like ic_sysbar_home,ic_sysbar_menu and etc. these are the themed ones for soft keyz.change them as you wish and remember your modification should respect the orginal png file size.anfter that surf back to the root of themed folders and rezip and sign it with some thing like signer app. done!:good:
