Hello all,
Because i messed up my system icons trying to change them i need new ones but i dont know where to get them. If anyone kind enough has a spare icon pack i can use them to make them ics blue or just keep them as a backup.
Thanks in advance.

You can get them from a stock ROM zip by deompiling the apk they came from. (SystemUI/ framework-res, etc.)
Thanks but i have tried that i just open the rom and there is nothing there it says empty. Can u guide me how to decompile it??

Opening the ROM isn't the same as decompiling. If all you need are .png images, rename the .apk to .zip, open it, then navigate to /res/drawable or similar and select the icons you need and drag them to the desktop.
Thanks, i m downloadeing a new rom right now and i l tell u how its goes. I m gonna try to make some ICS blue system icons too.
Sorry guys can't open it anybody can guide me step by step or more easily jus send the files please..
Thanks

Hello fellow xda members,
can someone help me to create a flashable .zip file for PA with the attached pictures of my own Softkey creation?
I tried myself, replaced the images in another flashable file for PA, tried zipThemer but nothing worked... :crying:
I think there could be other members who like those softkeys, they would appreciate it as much as me. If you're a themer and want to implement the softkeys in your theme, feel free to do so!
Attached is an overview and the individual pics, you do not see the individual pics since they have a transparent backgroung, but they are there
Thanks in advance!

cut that out into individual .png's and i will do it for you. not sure if they will be cross compatible with later ROM updates though.
Thank you, highly appreciated. Attached is a zip with the individual .png's.
If I have a working file, maybe I can figure it out how to update for future versions.

it's actually quite simple to do yourself for future versions and requires nothing more than 7-zip. you are just modifying the images in SystemUI.apk, and 7-zip won't affect the signatures.
1. open (open, not extract) the ROM zip with 7-zip, and browse to "system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi".
2. drag your images into "drawable-xhdpi" folder in 7-zip, it will overwrite the existing softkeys. you will see a prompt asking if you want to replace those files, say yes.
3. close 7-zip, you will be asked if you want to update the archive, say yes.
4. follow standard flashing procedure with the modded ROM zip.
i am not familiar with vrtheme or zipthemer, so i only know the "old-fashioned" way of modding your SystemUI.apk, so if you upload that, i could help also. liquid150 has already nicely offered to help, hopefully more knowledgeable about that sort of thing
Thanks, for the guide. I was trying it that way, but with another program than 7zip. Unfortunately I'm on a Mac and there is only an unofficial 7zip version. Will try that out.
But how do you open the SystemUI.apk inside the archive?

ahh i didn't know about there not being an official Mac version.. well, assuming the unofficial version functions the same way, when you open the archive, you can click into the .apk files as if they were folders. so as you are clicking down into the folders, just double-click the SystemUI.apk and it opens into the apk folder structure.
or you could always just extract the SystemUI.apk from the ROM and do the 7-zip modifications directly in the apk file. then make your own little flashable zip with just that apk to put it back onto your phone.
Working on a ZipThemer zip where this will be Universal for ya give me a few.
That sounds awesome, ÜBER!!!
Okay so i need somebody to test.. this is the first time i've done it for the softkeys... but everything should be fine. let me know how it works.
FLX-Softkeys.zip
Its a ZipThemer zip so you need to use Zip Themer to make the flashable if you dont know how visit my Theme Thread and in post #7 there is a tutorial it is linked at the end of the OP. Enjoy
Ok, I'll give it a try now.

Will tell you inna few, just made a fresh clean install of the newest PA version and gonna try it now.
EDIT: Works like a charm. Thanks very much!
EDIT2: It only works in the PhoneUI mode in PA. This is weird, but I think it has something to do with how PA works...

Yes its.. its because PA uses MDPI when in tablet mode not XHDPI which is where the softkeys get put.
Edit:
Okay fixed it for MDPI and HDPI go ahead and download it again from the previous link.
Thanks for your efforts, but it still only works in PhoneUI. ZipThemer tells me that 15 entries are updated...

Weird.. :S anyways you forgot the landscape softkeys.. which i am making my self.. as well as modding the little menu for my personal use. This is what it looks like. Im using the original menu key you had as the menu_big.
Looks very nice.
I created those keys a while back and used them in an AOKP version in which you could change the softkey pics in the ROM's settings. I never used anything in landscape mode, this is why I left it out.
PA moves the navbar to the bottom of the screen when switching into landscape, so I thought I don't need it since I always used PA in TabletUI.
But thanks for your efforts and making the png's for landscape mode

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.

i use the one from black jelly 2.2
Curious,
just installed this and the icon on the homescreen is still that green default native app one.
I really dig that ics colored icon, is there a way to change it within the app as opposed to using something like desktop visualizer? I'm looking for it to install that icon by default.
I know i can decompile the apk and change it that way. But I'm prepping to do a reinstall on my pc and don't want to install an apk tool till after.
If not that's cool, just figured I'd ask

i dont think u can change the Icon of the Messages app ... the icons come from Framework-res.apk .. you have to change it there or use a theme :good::fingers-crossed:
Here's another hmm for y'all. And I'll mention that I pulled the native mms apk from the phone first.
Does anybody have the app going back to the light colors after a reboot? I still have the native apk but it's on my sd card. So I can't see where it could be influencing the dark apk. But sure as the sun rises in the east, when I have to reboot for some reason it reverts. If I reinstall the dark apk it all goes back to what is supposed to be, and I retain all my messages. Just curious if it's just me. Or something I did
Oh, figured out how to get the ics icon to show on your homescreen.
Before you flash your Rom, go into system/app and pull the green mms.apk, and replace it with the dark version. When the phone boots it'll use that apk and viola. Ics icon and dark mms.
Hope this helps somebody. Personally I think the dark version actually sends the msgs faster. Maybe it's in my head, but it sure felt that way,
Update: for clarification, this needs to be done on your pc. Don't have to unzip the file or anything, just open it as you would a normal file/folder. I is definitely say to do this before transferring the Rom file to you device. It seems to take forever otherwise. Plus one on the phone, it seems you can't change the name of the file. Which I'd definitely recommend. Just name it "mms.apk" the device seems to take care of the permission stuff itself.

Using root explorer you can just paste it into the system/app folder, also if you use Titanium backup then once its installed you can incorporate the update into the rom. This means it will always boot with your new .apk
I have just installed the BlackOut clear theme with mms.apk and all the rest. You can install all the zips etc for GAPs as well

That's interesting.I was using smanager to do the same thing. But whenever I'd rebootthe phone it would revert to the native style. The only way I've gotten it to stick permanently is with the method I mentioned before

You need to rename and redo the permissions as well, but all that can be done on phone with root explorer.

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads is where I got mine from, there is a little variation from rom to rom but generally pretty mint. Plenty of dark gapps in there as well, I used most of the 4.4 ones in the SlimRom except for the camera which I got from a normal google apk.
I'm working on a apktool guide so you could always read and use that :angel: .
Do you want direct links for apk only to save bandwidth? or are the rom files fine?

Hi Rohov, its in the rom.zip all the mms.apk s are in the /system/app folder. You can use any zip program to open them and pull the apks out. Once they are on your phone you may need to change the permissions to -r -rw -rw itll make sense in the root browser if not post me.
Here as requested is my current fav mms.apk tho.
