*UPDATE*
I have now made the app-drawer semi-transparent like in Galaxy Ace+ or Galaxy SII. I have replaced the Touchwiz30Launcher.apk in the attatchments, so just re-download and replace it in system/app and change permissions to:
R W
R
R
and re-boot.
New screenshots below
Very similar to SGA+ now!
have a look...

app-drawer at 00.37 seconds in the video
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone. Iv just recently registered for this forum, iv been visiting it quite a lot lately and trying many new things. Anyway to get to the point...
Iv downloaded and tried many Touchwizlauncher.apk and systemui.apk from various threads and iv modded a few things to make it look like how i wanted, and it looks remarkably close to the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus. I would just like to share the things that make my Ace look like the screens below for anyone who would like to use it.
I have made the dock transparent in the homescreen, and in the appdrawer. Also I edited the dropdown menu in systemui slightly on the bit where you slide it up and down. (see screenshots)
As i have said, iv been downloading and trying lots of different things so i cant remember which users i downloaded the original files from before i modded them, so i would like to apoligise but i would also like to thank the original makers. Credits go to original makers, i just slightly changed a few things as u can see in the screenshots. like transparent dock in the app drawer. also i edited the drop-down menu slightly.
Also, If anyone could take my Touchwiz30launcher.apk and make the appdrawer SEMI-TRANSPARENT instead of fully transparent that would be amazing!
Thankyou!
Note:
The zip is flashable through CWM
The Touchwiz30Launcher.apk and SystemUI.apk need to be replaced in system/app using root explorer and then you need to change the permissions. and reboot.
Make sure you download alternative launcher, like launcher pro, just in case things mess up. And make a backup of the touchwiz and systemui apk's before you replace them.
Enjoy!

Ok just saying
But i think SGace + is diffrent
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
yeah you are right. The drop-down for the sga+ is slightly different, and the app drawer is semi-transparent. also the home screen page numbers are at the bottom.
if some1 could make the app drawer semi-transparent and move the homescreen page numbers to the bottom, it would look very very close to the sga+
Semi i can do
But numbers below not
Thats a hell of a lot modding

I can't answer you directly (as I don't know exactly what you are trying to do.) However, I don't think you're looking for just another firmware download, but are looking for instructions on HOW to do it.
The below link which documents how to make the common 1% battery mod, works for the NoteII and should also give you a very good idea how the battery icons work.

I've started to wonder why would you even need ninjamorph ?It's a nice app, no doubt about it. But the way I do it is, just extract the framework-res.apk using ES file explorer, replace the pngs of your choice, zip the contents of the apk back, rename .zip to .apk, move to system/framework & set permissions. That's it !
