Here's what I have so far for a homescreen. I really want the top center clock to be white, and if it all possible the wifi/signal bars to be white as well. Something simple like MIUI. Also, is there a way to hide the vibration/silent icon from the notification bar? Any dice??

I don't have any dice, but I'll have a look for you.
What rom are you on?

if you extract and upload the SystemUI.apk from whatever ROM you are using, i can make a few of the edits you are asking for. i will also write out the steps for you if you want to try it yourself or do it again in the future. it's actually pretty simple to modify a lot of these images with 7-zip and a photo editor.
1. open (open, not extract.) the ROM archive with 7-zip. browse to system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi.
2. locate the following files and extract them:
stat_sys_signal_1_fully.png
stat_sys_signal_2_fully.png
stat_sys_signal_3_fully.png
stat_sys_signal_4_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_1_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_2_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_3_fully.png
stat_sys_wifi_4_fully.png
stat_sys_ringer_silent.png
stat_sys_ringer_vibrate.png
3. edit the images so that the bar color is white, and edit the silent/vibrate images so that they are totally transparent (blank).
4. save those images, and drag them back into the drawable-xhdpi folder in 7-zip. say "yes" to the prompts about overwriting files or changing/updating the archive.
5. you can now flash that ROM file as is. 7-zip won't mess up the signatures. or if you don't want to flash the whole ROM over, you can simply extract the SystemUI.apk and do the edits in the apk file directly. then you can push the apk back to your phone.
the clock color in the status bar will need an XML edit or two, which is unfortunately a bit over my head, but this will at least get you most of the way there in your vision for your homescreen.

Was playing around with my dash recently , after flashing it to the htc's rom and made a couple changes, so I thought I'd share.
I know alot of people dislike the green theme, but I like it, so figured maybe someone else will too.
I'm using an official htc rom.
Here are a few shots of changed icons and bg's and how it looks:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see I've edited the xml, I've also compressed some of the fields down so you don't get the scrolling home screen, where everything you need is pretty much contained within one page:
I've also edited the branding brick on top to reflect the regular alphanumeric code (since there is no alphanumeric translation like there is on the tmo rom):
And added on the following backgrounds for misc actions:
To Do: all you have to do is place the files in the same folder structure that appears in the zipped file (using either resco explorer or whatever explorer you use). Then adjust the home screen settings (Settings>Home Screen) accordingly, reboot the phone and you're good. All files are included in the zipped file.
Just always remember to back up your original files.
You made the green look good! Nice work

Just a simple mod that will keep the clock in the pull down present no matter the clock option you chose, including hide clock. Nothing else is included or changed.

Hi, stupid question. How did you manage the change the battery png's? I tried but can not find the location of the 204 png's in the SystemUI.apk
Thanks
I´m sure he flashed a theme for theme chooser.
But normally you´ll find the png´s in /rey/drawable xhdpi folder

Hello Lichti, I also already followed your MOD's; nice jobs you did.
I know that I can find the png's in the xhdpi folder but in the case of CM ROM's not. I managed to use a Battery_Mod tool from the command line but the size was not ok. On AndroidME, I just pasted the pictures I liked. I also need to mod the stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml's..... and can't on Ubuntu....
Updated. Please stay on topic, thanks.
I'm not trying to blow your mind here just having some fun.
I replaced the dot nodpi folder with a baseball.
Changing the background is beyond my limited ability.
Instructions:
1. [optional] Using a root file manager, go to System/App and rename NoiseField.apk to NoiseField.bak [so you can switch back when/if you like]
2. Using a root file manager Copy/Paste BBNoiseField.apk and rename to NoiseField.apk then change permissions [un-check Group/Write]
3. Reboot and Apply in live wallpaper.
This is as easy as it gets.
D!I!Y! and put your face in the bubble. or your kid's face. or your favorite food.
D.I.Y. explained better in post #3 Thanks DeHuMaNiZeD!

Thanks to ecs1984 for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33657047
The diy for modding the deskclock was my intro to easy system app png replacing.
Here too is a modded blue ball to jelly bean.
I used apktool for this and the pic is 164x164 I believe but you can use 7zip diy to replace pic.

Easier way using root explorer:
1. Copy the app and paste it in sdcard
2. Extract it
3.go to extraction folder and delete dot.png
4. Replace it with your image
5.zip it
6. Rename the extension to apk
7. Move it to your system/app folder and reboot
Simple.
If anyone could offer some advice I'd be very grateful!
I used Unicon to apply an icon pack across my device, so my home screen currently looks like this:
{
"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"
}
My lockscreen on the other hand displays the shortcut icons in grey circles:
What I'd like to do is remove those grey circles such that the shortcuts look like the ones on my home screen. I do have G3 Tweaksbox but it doesn't seem to offer a solution to this.
Thanks!
Open "lgkeyguard.apk" in /system/priv-apps/
via apk-decompile / winrar (extract the res/drawable-xxxhdpi folder)
Search the picture corresponding with the background you want to change.
Copy the recompiled apk back after recopying the picture.
Done.

Great, thanks! Unfortunately I've never dealt with decompiling/recompiling apk's before, so I'll have to approach this stuff carefully. I actually can't find lgkeyguard.apk in /system/priv-app/ using Root Browser though - is it possible that is has a different name / location in Lollipop?
/system/priv-app/LGKeyguard.apk
is the exact path for me (KK 4.4.2)
You could do a search for it using your filebrowser if it isn't there in LP.
Replacing pictures in apk files via Winrar is rather save.
I'd suggest that if you haven't tinkered with apk's b4.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
