Seeing as the G9 doesn't have a Themes section, it'll have to go here
The theme simply adds battery % in the notification area and gets rid of the no signal icon present in Non-Archos based custom ROMs
YOU NEED A ROM WITH THEME CHOOSER TO USE THIS, SUCH AS CM10, CM9 or AOKP!

Instructions to apply:
1.) Using a root file manager, backup your build.prop
2.) Open the build.prop (in /system)
3.) Find ro.sf.lcd_density and change the value from 160 to 240
4.) Reboot
5.) Drag down notification bar and select settings
6.) Select Theme Chooser and hit apply
7.) [JB] Open Google Now (hold home and drag to google) and search for your root file manager to open it
[ICS] Set your root file manager as one of the UPPER lockscreen shortcuts in the settings, lock and unlock to the root file manager
8.) Restore the original build.prop
9.) Reboot
10.) Hit thanks, you're done

Hi,
I didn't like all the greeny and shadowed icons in Touch X-Treme so i created this basicly stock theme with a few changes:
All the green stuff is back to stock
The notificaion icons are now stock
Press notification color is now blue, looks slick
Select text bars are now stock blue not green
Advanced power menu has nicer icons, more of a stock feel
Still has fixed CRT effect and Precent Battery Mod
See attachments for screens.
How to install:
Install Es File Explorer: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Open Es File Expolorer and go to settings and check "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
When superuser request pops up, make sure you allow it.
Change "Home Directory" to "/"
Copy framework-res.apk to system/framework - wait for phone to reboot, should do automatically
Copy systemUI.apk to system/app - you should experience force closes, this is normal, just reboot the phone and it should take effect.
I've coloured some of the icons used in the system bar and the widget bar in the pull down notifications screen. I originally posted this within another thread as I was changing them but thought I'd post it separately to make it easier to find and also i've changed the colour slightly to better match up.
My icons were grey and it just didn't fit with the ICS colours so I've made them all blue which looks much better in my opinion. I've also changed the data/wifi arrows to white which might not be to everyone's tastes but hey, I like it !
See image below:
I'm using the Apex Rom and I'm not sure of any variations there might be with the icons in other Roms (feedback from anyone would be appreciated).
As for installing these the method I use is with Ninjamorph and I'll explain it here for anyone that's not familiar with it:
1) Open Ninjamorph (available free on the market)
2) Click "New Project"
3) Navigate to where your SystemUI.apk is (mines in /system/data)
4) Open it and go to res/drawable-xhdpi
5) Find the icon you want to change then tap it
6) Navigate to my icons to select its replacement (repeat until you've changed all that you want)
7) Hit the back button til you get to the main Ninjamorph menu
8) Hit "Finish Project" and select systemUI.apk
9) Click Yes to overwrite, NO to zip align (important!!) then yes to delete project(to tidy up)
10) Exit Ninjamorph, Reboot and enjoy.......
The process of replacing the icons needs doing one at a time, there are other methods to move these icons into systemUI.apk so use whatever you know works - I seem to get most joy with Ninjamorph though.....
I made the Samsung Galaxy S3 hardkeys to Galaxy Nexus Softkeys.
Flashable with Metamorph or do it manually.
Did not try it, hope someone else can do it because my GNEX is in reperature.
Please post some screens if you flash it, so I can see and make it better, some updates etc.
DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.file-upload.net/download-4445951/GalaxyS3SoftgeysForGNEX.zip.html
Tutorial:
MetaMorph
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market, open it at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/
Download a Softkey Style using the MetaMorph link and move this .zip file to /sdcard/AndroidThemes using your favorite file explorer
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" button and wait +/- 5 seconds (nothing will happen)
Reboot your phone immediately after this and you're done! Oh, and set a new wallpaper because it may be restored to default..
(Phone can hang in "SystemUI has been ended". Just pull out battery and restart phone.
2. Advanced (Hard) Method - Edit the SystemUI.apk from your phone - thanks to bangdrum! Not working for everybody!
Download and install Root Explorer from the Market and make a Nandroid backup
Download the softkeymod you like
Open Root Explorer and navigate to /system/app/, find SystemUI.apk, long press, and select extract. Go to the folder sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted and make sure you have a folder that's called SystemUI
If the folder is there navigate to where you downloaded the chosen softkeymod (usually sdcard/download) and long press it. Select extract all. Go to sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted and there should be a folder with the name of the softkeymod.
Click on this folder, and also on the next. Hit the menu key and press 'Multi Select'. Highlight all the images included in the folder and select 'Move' at the bottom. Navigate back to the SystemUI folder, go to SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi and 'Paste' here. A command prompt should pop up asking to replace the current images. Select 'Yes For All'
Go back to the sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted folder, long press the SystemUI folder and select 'Create ZIP'
Rename the created SystemUI.zip to SystemUi.apk and move the SystemUI.apk to your /system/app folder. Change permissions of SystemUI.apk to rw-r--r--
Reboot your Galaxy Nexus (pull battery out and reboot, this is an essential step) and your softkeys will be modded!

Disclaimer: I'm not the owner of these fonts. They are collected from "Font Manager" module by androidacy
Font manager is availabe, so why I'm posting this thread?
It's because I found some disadvantages in font manager module-
1/That completely depends on internet
2/Previewer is not great
3/So many almost same looking fonts
4/Often gives errors
Introduction:
Preview all & pick one from 112 cool fonts + download & apply it using file manager(Rooted).
Steps:
Note: Don't use solid explorer. Install & use "MT File Manager" . Otherwise you will face auto reboot while applying font.
1/ Backup default font: Open Mt file manager . Grant superuser permission. Right hand side is the rooted part. Go to /system/ . Long press on "fonts" folder. Click on copy button. Now it will be copied to the non rooted part. That's your backup.
2/ Preview fonts: Download the attached preview.zip file. Extract it using Zarchiver. You will find a folder "preview fonts" & an apk file "Font Viewer". Install the apk & open it. Go to settings of the app. There are 2 text boxes. Erase the pre-written text of first box & write "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog." In the 2nd box, Erase the russian numbers & write "1234567890". Go back to the main interface. Now browse & open the "Preview fonts" folder. All 112 font previews will appear in a group. You can see detailed preview by clicking on each. Find which font is best for you & note the font name.
3/ Download fonts: Click on the download link below. That's a google drive folder. Click on search button. Search the font name that you liked in preview. Download the zip file of that font.
4/ Apply/Install: Open MT file manager. On your left side, click on zip file of the font. On right side, Go inside /system/fonts/. Scroll a bit on left side (So that you can select all in left). Click 3 dots on top right . Select all. Long press on the selected files. Copy them to right side. Check the box to replace all without permiting one by one. Reboot your device.
Go back to default font:
Select all files in your backed up "fonts" folder. Copy and replace to /system/fonts as mentioned in the 4th step.
