Anybody here successfully decompiled and recompiled SystemUI.apk? I thought I had managed it with APK multi-tool, but it force closed when opening the notification bar...
I tried doing this also, so I could get rid of the AT&T in the notification bar in the ICS leak ROMS, but I couldn't figure it out, either.
I don't think anyone's successfully done it yet. My bet is on dman getting it done first though.

as dman works on aosp version of ics as main part of the source most likely he wont have to change the SystemUI.apk at all - pure vanilla, most likely.
I'm on it right now. I've recompiled and compiled successfully. Current project is clock color but adding date and changing notification back ground are on my list. Unfortunately just so busy

I was able to decompile and recompile successfully too, but I got a FC when I tried to actually use it. Any insight would be helpful. Besides carrier label removal, there's a few other mods I'd like to implement. I was able to swap out the .pngs for the notification bar, but despite adding a full set of battery icons the only ones it uses are the ones corresponding to the stock battery icons, and they are fairly odd (71%? Really?) The ROM already supports 1% battery levels so it should be fairly easy to use the pngs for them, if I could recompile the apk successfully.

I'm really anticipating someone getting rid of that AT&T logo. I'm slightly OCD, and it's really bugging me.

So long as there's still a data-roaming notification, I'm cool with that... AT&T Service blows in my area, am constantly getting shuffed off to T-Mobile network (and further data charges)
if you want to look at the SystemUI.apk in NardROM 0.4 I finally managed to compile a working version with 1% battery icons, no carrier label, and no text on the quick setting toggles. Adding logic to only display roaming carrier labels would be a bit harder.
Also if you want to swap out the icons, it's really easy. Just rename the .apk and .zip and change them out and rezip. Icon changes don't require recompiling.

But I want more than just this....I want to make my sliding tabs on my lockscreen red with red icons. I also want red loading bars and status bars.....pretty much anything that was white I want to make red.....is there any way I can do this?

You need to edit images if your using cm7 or a Gingerbread Tom its in framework-res in the framework folder and in SystemUI on the app folder as for sense you will need to edit files in the HTC resources apk its in the framework folder if its a sense 2.0 Tom then inside of the I believe customize folder find an apk to edit(that is if your wanting to be able to resourt to stock theme) and edit that or just edit the HTC resource file like mentioned for sense sorry if there are any mistakes in this I'm on my phone and can't check for proper names of the locations.

Ok thanks for the info....what programs are out there that are good for editing these apks? I'm sorry I'm new to editing apks and this is my learning experience!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well to edit the images in the apk just change the .apk to .zip and look through it for the files you want to edit they will be images as for the txt you will need to edit the services.jar there is a guide on here somewhere that tells you how to do it just Google changing txt color in android notification bar.

I'm not worried about text color I already did the notification bar I'm more concerned with the lock tabs and loading bars....the small green accents here and there

Those are in framework-res if your on an aosp rom so just open it up and play around.

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
That's something I'm not exactly sure of you will need to decompile the apk first if I remember correctly then u edit never took the time to research how to decompile bit after its decompiled you should be able to use several programs just Google for one
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well I changed apk to zip and then extracted....there weren't a lot of images but there were a lot of xml documents that had titles that looked like they were for what I needed to edit so now I just need to figure out how to edit them....I know a lot of html and basic javascript so from my understanding it should be easy but my version of visual studio won't let me edit xml.....I need another program....recommendations?

Just edit the hue in Photoshop or paint.net its real easy I use paint.net plus its free and lightweight only 3 megs and does a great job

Flash it? Did you make an updater for it or did you replace the files in a ROM that you're going to flash? I personally just push the .apk via ADB shell.
How did it go

I did the xml editing for all the status bars, vol bars etc on my old Eris to change them to blue. Wasn't too bad, just extracted the XML where the current colors were all listed then edited the raw xml with a hex editor and put the new colors in (backwards) then applied, was pretty cool....
edited alll the files that I wanted and re packed them into my rom (skyraider) then just flashed the rom as if it were a nightly update (no wipe data/factory reset).....It worked great! I mucked a few things up here and there but overall it looks very slick....I've officially made my first theme for skyraider 4.0! Wasn't too hard at all....But now that I've done all this work there's a few images I can't seem to find that I want to change the color of....Mainly the highlights press color on the select a connection type dropdown and more importantly the volume popup bar when you increase the phone volume. Also I'm interested in trying to edit some apps like the market and the messages list......and my keyboard so I can get rid of the green in the candidates bar but unfortunately I think these apps are "signed" or something.....Does anyone have information on editing apks like that? when I try to edit them it seems to work correctly until I try to install it on my phone....Input on how to change these apps and the volume bar and everything else stated would be greatly appreciated.....And many thanks to odst for being as helpful as he has been with all of this. This has been a great learning experience

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.
Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.
Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.
Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.
I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

Who has been able to decompile and compile CM9 ICS Beta1 SystemUI.APK? My status bar messes up when I compile. It will work but I must get a notification first. Help out if you have done! My theme wont be complete without it!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I have been able to decompile and compile with APK Manager 5. However I did notice that I was no longer able to restore the nandroid without it messing up. So I pulled the modded xmls out of the compiled modded systemui and placed them into the stock systemui then did my png edits and swaps and it works. Maybe that is similiar to the trouble you are having.
I have tried that before but my status bar will work. It will only work after I get a notification. Then every notification after that I it shows slanted black lines next to the notification. In other words it goes black

This is a work in progress and if you would like to help just let me know.
Below is a screenshot on what I have done so far.
-Guy Fawkes mask wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper
-B&W 1% Battery mod
-B&W Signal Bars
-B&W up and download bars ( the old orange ones from the AT&T port)
-B&W MMS apk icon
-B&W Browser apk icon
-B&W Phone apk icon
-B&W Contacts apk icon
-B&W Wifi signal bars
Basically I am trying to make everything in the AT&T ICS port B&W instead of the blue and black.
I plan on adding more framework additions and give it a more "anonymous" feel.
If you want it, thank me or just leave a post saying so. The more requests I get, the more i will work on it.

Help...
Having issues working with the .9.png's
I know how to mod them when I worked on GB roms, but for some reason I am having issues when I try to recompile the apk's. I am working with both the apktool 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 but I get errors trying to recompile them. Decompiling them works fine, I do my mods, and cannot recompile the apk's. I pm'ed some of the dev's asking for advice, but no response yet.
Anyone got some ideas???
Feel free to pm me or just post here.
Screenshot looks good and that would be a killer boot ani, will be keeping an eye on this thread..
Don't know if anyone can help me out with this because none of the dev's are responding to my posts or my PM's.
If you guys would be happy with just the png edits, I can push a theme your way in about a day.
But, the .9.png's and the xml files that still have the ICS blue in it I cannot change because I can't figure out hot to decompile/recompile without getting errors.
If anyone can help me out I can push a full theme to you.
If anyone can get ahold of Phoenix6, it would be appreciated, because he has done this, but he is not responding to me for some reason.
Thanks.
I did a black and white ics theme you can use anything you want out of it if you want.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks to dillym34, I found out the reason I am having trouble decompiling is because the apks that i am trying to decompile are AOSP based (raverx3x's version), and they wont decompile correctly. So I have two options:
Either wait til May 15 for the tmo version to come out and mod those, or mod the AT&T leak and re-mod them again after we get our official version.
What do you guys think???

Can someone help me or point me in the right direction for editing a theme? I want the Cobalt theme to have transparent status bar, transparent system backgrounds(dialer, settings...etc) just like the HoloGlass Beta but with all the nice stuff from Cobalt(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt) (HoloGlass https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mix3d.theme.hologlass.beta)
I'm still trying to figure this out, I've decompiled both themes, copied like 50 images from cobalt(signal, wifi...etc) to hologlass overwriting the originals, edited preview and changed the default wallpaper then recompiled, signed it, installed but the only thing that I can tell is different is the default wallpaper, everything else is the same, the preview didn't even work, just shows a red X....I don't understand.
If it's a system app you don't want to sign it. You need to preserve the original signatures if I remember correctly. Utilities like apk multi tool can do this for you when it's time to recompile. Could that be the problem?

I didn't know a theme was a system app?
Well I was wrong, It mostly worked, most things changed except WiFi and signal bars(Which was one of the main features I wanted from cobalt) Maybe it would be easier just to take the transparent stuff from holo glass and put it into cobalt? Idk but I still need help with this...

It depends on what you're theming. I'm just guessing but the status bar is probably in the SystemUI.apk or SecLauncher2.apk. so to theme it would require modding the correct system app.
