How can we αđđ another icon app . Like opmin , xda ,or game etc ? This icon pack is just for system app isn't?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
hi. well this wasn't really clear to me, so i have several questions.. i got samsung with an ICS rom. most system files, that i want to change their icons, have the names preceded with "sec" (i.e. secMMS.apk, secBrowser.apk). i tried to flash an icon zip, to no avail, it didn't work. probably becuase of these difference in names. i also found, in the tmp folder of the icon pack, the Icon.sh file.. it contains the addresses of the files. the contents are like:
#!/tmp/busybox sh
/tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/Browser.apk res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png /sdcard/unpack/Browser.apk/res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_browser.png >> /sdcard/test.log 2>&1
should i change the addresses and make it like /tmp/apkreplacer /system/app/secBrowser.apk res/drawable-ld... ?
also. my rom is odexed. so i have secBrowser.apk and secBrowser.odex ... this applies to other system apps.
can i flash the zips normally, or do i have to take into account the odex files?
please enlighten me. thnx.

EDIT:

if not adding the provided files for twlauncher,the upper bar is still light blue and not that black as shown above.
u have to drag & drop the png files in twframework-res above into urs ..

use rootexplorer to copy your twframework.apk to your phne's sd card.then copy it to your pc and open it using winrar or winzip.then replace the corresponding files in the folder "drawable-hdpi" with the provided ones.then copy the twframework.apk back on your sd card and then to system/app using rootexplorer.
rename your twframework.apk to twframework.apk.bak first to have a backup.

Hey guys, need some help here
I fell in love with the dropdown notification menu of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965760&page=16
BUT I have no idea how to extract it and zip it to flash through cwm
Is there anyone kind enough to help me @[email protected]?
Cheers!
that part is controled by tw-framework-res.apk ( think its called that you will notice it)
just copy that out of the roms update zip file and push it to your phone via adb and it should work.

Use winrar to pull the PNG you want and move just that accross
Sent from my GTI-9000 Using that XDA app thingy
The pull down bar is part of the TWframework-res.apk.
You need to extract the apk.
change the system_notification_bar.png (or whatever its called. I cant remember off hand) with the image you want. You will find the images in drawable hdpi folder.
Repack the TWframework-res.apk into a flashable zip and flash via CWM.

Thanks for all the replies. Have tried extracting and failed. Totally zero experience in doing such stuff. Anybody else willing to download the rom and try to extract the necessary files?

Hi,
The 'twframework' file is from my darky's v9.3 zip file.. i'm using that right now..
The 'twframework(2)' file is from the serendipity rom which i'd to extract from..
The picture of the dropdown notification menu is shown in MikeyMike01's post above ^
Thank you
hello
i am needing some assistance too. i coped the status_bar_expanded.xml from the serindipity tw into my tw apk, and im finding this strange error. That graphic is usually the background to the music controls.
FYi i didnt copy the not. icons from serindipity
Thanks for your help.
Normally the bar above and below is the same background. This allows them to be different.
You should copy over the other images.
Note that the music player still works fine.

Can Anyone tell me how to get these Green Lines(pngs) below all status bar power icons ????????

I'm not sure what you mean by 'get', but the files are located in /system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
Use WinRAR (or similar software) to open the SystemUI.apk

Bt all that file dont exist in my systemui app...
Sent from my GT-S5670 using XDA Premium App
so if you have a systemui which doesn't include these bars, probably the images are still there, only the layout files were changed. go to systemui.apk/res/layout and edit quickpanel_quick_settings.xml (find a theme which has these bars, even stock, and you can replace this file or you can find what's missing)
to edit xmls, you need to decompile the apk, winrar is not enough, since xmls are coded and you need to decode them with decompiling
(on froyo you might find it in framework-res.apk, or if the files don't exist in systemui, which i doubt, you can find tutorials here on xda how to add resources to an apk)

Create a folder in the root of your SD card called 'mClock'. (sdcard/mClock)
Download and Extract the .zip/rar (folder) files into this folder
Be sure to use the exact location as shown above, or the clock background will NOT work.
-Add mClock widget on your homescreen.
-Load the downloaded xml file in the settings menu of mClock (Hit "Xml Template" in the mClock settings)

Probably the app is on your SD card and you connected your phone to transfer the files. If not, it should be on the widget selection window.

How to build apps icon pack:
Things you require:
-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-Some icons-Here are my AOSP icons.
-Required apps from the ROM which you want to modify.
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any resizing tool.
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.
-Kindness to press the THANKS button below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps:
1. Download all the things required.
2. Open your ROM and copy all the apps and move them to a seperate folder. Here we will take only 3 apps-Browser, Messaging and Calculator.
{
"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"
}
3. Now extract these apps using 7zip or winrar.
4. Now open the app folder, go to res and find the location where the icon of the app is present. These are generally present in mipmap-xhdpi or drawable-xhdpi. For e.g. in Browser app it's present in mipmap-xhdpi named as ic_launcher_browser.png:
5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->app and make a new folder their with named as appname.apk(Here appname refers to the name of the app). For e.g. Browser.apk in my case.
6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->mipmap-xhdpi in my case:
7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. For e.g. ic_launcher_browser.png in my case. And resize it to 96X96. Please do not resize mdpi or hdpi icons or else they will pixelize and blur.
8. Do the same for other apps. In my case calculator and messaging.
9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name. You can practically change almost everything under ui_print in updater-script but remember that it should be in the format ui_print("ABCD"); . Here replace ABCD with whatever you like.
10. Now you will be having 4 folders- data, META-INF, system, vrtheme and an image named as preview. Zip all these and rename it whatever you like and flash it with CWM and you're done! Enjoy your own icon pack Feel free to THANK me :laugh:
