Use adb from Android SDK, the tools directory
(http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
1) Pull framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ by command:
> adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
2) Make a copy of the original framework-res.apk to framework-res-original.apk in your tools folder (in case you screw things up )
3) Rename framework-res.apk in your tools folder to framework-res.zip
4) Open framework-res.zip
5) Replace the "circular battery" files I have attached to res/drawable-mdpi directory in the zip file
6) Use normal compression when replacing the files
7) Rename the zip file back to apk extension
8) Push framework-res.apk back to /system/framework by commands:
> adb remount
> adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
> adb shell reboot
Credit to giant_rider, I pulled the files out from his SuperEclair ROM
If anyone wants to create an signed apk for easy update, be my guest
awesome, will definitely use!
Need Help
I have tried this twice & it always reverts back to the standard battery icons. I push the new file with the circular battery files you uploaded. However, when I pull the framework file again to check the icons(after I reboot my phone & see that it hasn't changed) it its back to normal with the standard ones. I can't imagine why Any ideas ? ? ?

my Magic just stay on the splash screen when i do this
----------------------
so i restore and try replace the circular battery png to the original battery png in my "drawable" (copy n paste)

it worked for me on CM4.x.x.x donut and CM5
its actually very simple, just follow step (1) and pull the file, look for your original battery png files and replace it with the circular battery files, both original and circular battery status should have the same png file names

sweet. Im currently running pays 1.6 and i want to try to run an eclair but theyre all ugly as hell and i dont want a fully themed rom, i just want specific icons ect.
ive been looking into this for a while So i have some noob questions if you will.
1: do i need to "re-sign" the apk?
2: can i apply this method to all the icons on a rom.
for example, i like the "dowloading" icon from my current rom but would like it on an the eclair.
same goes for the text icon on the notifications bar, i like the green one but clair normally uses a black one
could i switch them out?

i tried this and metamorph wouldnt do it.
issues with cm6
i am consistantly getting an error message when trying to push the file onto the device stating that the device does not have room has this been addressed?

Keep on pushing it? I did that until it finally got transferred ..
Alternatively, you can delete the previous framework apk and push the updated one.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
Tried the original method on Fresh 1.0.1, Pulled file, edited, re-pushed, got stuck at white boot screen, the one that says HTC EVO 4G or something like that.
just get metamorph from market and dr.cloverdale black bar metamorph. replace necessary battery images in black bar zip and no need to sign or push via adb.
This battery is awsome, I'm busy with my own notification bar so I can really use this!
What really is Missing is an step right before remounting the ADB.
Try the Following Steps:
1) Pull framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ by command:
> adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
2) Make a copy of the original framework-res.apk to framework-res-original.apk in your tools folder (in case you screw things up )
3) Rename framework-res.apk in your tools folder to framework-res.zip
4) Open framework-res.zip
5) Replace the "circular battery" files I have attached to res/drawable-mdpi directory in the zip file
6) Use normal compression when replacing the files
7) Rename the zip file back to apk extension
8) Restart the phone till you get to the End of the "Boot Loop" and be able to reconnect to phone again with using ADB and Entering Following command:
> adb shell reboot
9) Then push framework-res.apk back to /system/framework by commands:
> adb remount
> adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
> adb shell reboot
Have Fun...

Thanks.
Followed Amir's steps and now I have circular battery .

Hi guys
made this small app might help, no need to root / install new ROM / Alter framework-res.apk
it gives you circular battery indicator with percentages (up to 1% if your device supports it)
just download and install the app to your device
it works with Desire and Droid X perfectly, not sure about other devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809553
let me know if it worked for you
cheers
Irkan, love the app. Works perfect on my MT3g 32b with CM6, and I really like the temp stats in notification bar too. Nice work
I am on the CM nightlies and trying to replace files in the framework-res.apk and putting it back messes with my phone for some odd reason. Is there anyway someone who knows their stuff make it flashable?
root?
Hello.
Must I have root-rights to do it?
Cause, when I adb Shell it and use the first command from step 1, it says:
adb pull: permission denied.
Thx
Hi,
Here's a patch for stock odexed XXKI3 to remove vibrate icon from status bar. I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature but I hated it and removed according to instructions from this thread
Thanks to tripc1 for instructions.
RAWI.NO_VIBRATE_ICON.MOD.zip
This one is with:
- CRT Effect
- % Circle Battery mod
RAWI.NO_VIBRATE_ICON.MOD_2.zip
If the first doesn't work then try the second file. I removed the icon having already crt and battery mode applied, so SystemUI.apk was different than stock.
PLEASE DO BACKUP PRIOR TO INSTALLING!
As I can't post in Android Development section (I haven't made 10 posts requirement) I'm posting it here.
This Mod is by vintozver
Removing vibrator icon on ODEXED roms. If you have deodexed one - you will not need to odex the apk again, you will need to sign the apk instead.
The method works for ANY android version actually. You SHOULD backup your device prior doing this. You SHOULD think what you do.
Patch may not work for your device. I did this for SGS2 2.3.6 KI4 (stock).
===
We need:
0. jre/jdk
1. adb
2. apktool (for looking for resources if they differ in your version).
3. smali/baksmali tools
4. dexopt-wrapper (on Device)
Process:
1. Download SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex on your computer.
2. Download /system/framework to your computer (framework folder for clarity).
3. BOOTCLASSPATH=framework /opt/smali/baksmali -d framework/ -o dx_obj --api-level 9 -x SystemUI.odex
You'll have dx_obj folder filled with dalvik VM source code (dex-source).
4. Apply patch (see below), which strips out unnecessary code and icon updates.
5. /opt/smali/smali dx_obj/
6. Rename out.dex to classes.dex
7. Put classes.dex to SystemUI.apk file
8. copy updated SystemUI.apk to temporary folder on your device like: adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk
9. adb shell
# cd /sdcard
# dexopt-wrapper SystemUI.apk SystemUI.odex
# cp SystemUI.odex /system/app/SystemUI.odex
# sync
10. reboot the device (you may issue "reboot" command in the shell as well).
Enjoy!
Patch may be different for some roms and some android versions. The best method of searching the code has been explained in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18033801 (unpacking apk within apktool and looking for identifiers). PM me for further help.
You haven't packed the apk mate.
Hm, it's not necessary, the change is only in .odex file....
The solution is based not on removing the actual vibrate icon from apk file but on removing lines of code that shows the icon in status bar.
did NOT work ! :s
Ok, I posted the second file. Now it's with SystemUI.apk but also with other tweaks.
The second file works for sure.
Appologise for inconvenience.
Can you tell us what tweaks please? I'd like to know what I'm doing to my device before making any changes.
Tweaks for batt circle mod and crt effects comes from this thread and this.
After that I patched against vibrate icon according to the instructions.
Strange, I'm on KI3 and don't have the issue with the vibrate icon when vibrate is set to always on.
gr8 second file made me lose notification bar ...
Have you installed any other themes/mods that also modifiy SystemUI.apk?
The file I posted works perfect on pure stock xxki3 from samfirmware.com...
I have KI3... dont have the vibrate icon aftet i set it to NEVER in settings->sound->vibration...
is it the same thing we are talking here? why do we needed a modified app to do the same ?
Yes, but the problem occurs when you want to set the option to ALWAYS and you DONT want to see the vibrate icon all the time
You can upload ONLY remove Vibrate MOD without CRT Effect and % Circle Battery mod, cause I don't want change it.
JKay Settings app has a lot of tweaks, including removal of vibro-icon and it works on any rom.
Thanks for trying anyway.

Is this in the Android market? Can't find it.
Sorry, I didn't read carefully. After installing the file from the first link, everything is in ok! Thanks guys.

You must install the file from the first link by CFW.
There is also a free app "Contact Vibrate". You can set all calls to vibrate even though you don't have it on "Always Vibrate" under general setting.
With the app, you can even customize the vibration pattern for each contact (if you wish to). If not, it will use a master pattern (your choice) for all.
This is good for unrooted users, or those that don't want to mess with the ROM anymore.
It is possible for KI4?

I did a search but could not find a theme that changes all the notification icons in the notification bar (i.e. for talk/ gmail/ whatsapp etc etc) + the alarm clock & vibrate icon to ICS blue.
Is there a theme out there that does exactly that?
I already made a few of these for a widget, I can make a set and upload them. You would have to adb pull SystemUI.apk, replace the png's, and then push it back to system/app.
Thank you very much!
But before you go any length, let me please read up on what you just said
What rom are you using? I can throw them in for you.
Without doing it for me- that just deserves another thank you
At this moment I'm on AOKP b27 but that varies quite a bit
So instead of you doing all the work for me (may be it is best to learn it myself since I change ROMS fairly often), would you care to help me a bit?
This is what I've found:
1. Root is prerequisite. If you're using stock rom, you can obtain cf-root from here.
2. Install android sdk from here. Eclipse is optional. The essential stuff we need is the adb from the sdk.
3. Please make a backup using cwm in case you end up deleting or corrupting your phone.
4. Connect your phone to the pc.
5. Open cmd and type cd C:\android\tools . (Depends on where is your sdk tools folder)
6. type adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk (Status Bar Modding)
7. Alright, now edit the .apk to .zip in your tools folder.
8. Open up the zip and replace the mdpi files inside with the one you prepared.
9. After all the changes, change the .zip back to .apk
10. Open cmd and type cd C:\android\tools . (Depends on where is your sdk tools folder)
11. type adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
12. Reboot your phone.

My questions; regarding
7. Alright, now edit the .apk to .zip in your tools folder; and
9. After all the changes, change the .zip back to .apk
Do i rename the .apk to .zip or do I create a .zip?
AND
8. Open up the zip and replace the mdpi files inside with the one you prepared.
the files you would be prepared to share are mdpi files? not .png?
The icons I want in ICS blue (#FF33B5E5 - or same color as the time etc in te notifcation (top) bar) are: Bluetooth icon, Vibrate icon, Alarm icon, and all of the notication icons (talk/ gmail/ whatsapp etc)
If you'd rather point me out in the directio on how to change them myself that would be great too (Photoshop?)
Many many thanks for your time

7. Yes, change the extension to zip. Alternatively simply open it with 7zip/winrar or another archiver.
8. mdpi is the name of the folder. when you open the apk with the archiver you will see a folder called /res/ and inside a couple of drawable[xxx] folders. in theory you should only have to modify files in the drawable xhdpi folder (since the gnex is a xhdpi device). I would suggest extracting the whole /res/ folder and looking in it.
9. if you changed the extension to .zip, change it back to apk. otherwise simply drag and drop the modified files in the correct folders.
PS: make sure you save the original SystemUI.apk somewhere, in case the modifications don't work as expected and you want to revert to the original one
Good luck!
Ok, just to be safe.
1. I connect my phone with usb and type adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk in cmd
2. I copy that file to 2 different locations (1 to be sure I have the original in case I screw up , 1 to try and modify)
3. I type adb push /system/app/SystemUI.apk so that my phone is still in good state
Then I go to 1 of the saved SystemUI.apk and rename it to SystemUI.zip
I search for the folder /res/ and look for the notification icons etc which I would like to change the color
Change the color of the .png files with the ICS color in photoshop and replace them
Rename SystemUI.zip back to SystemUI.apk
In cmd I type adb push /system/app/SystemUI.apk and reboot
Did I understand it all correctly? Thanks

1. the command is: adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk <location>
<location> would then be, for example, c:\temp
so, adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk c:\temp
2. then you create a copy of the SystemUI.apk from you c:\Temp folder
3. no need to push it back. adb pull simply copies a file from the filesystem
Then you go about and do all the other stuff (extract, edit, etc.)
Finally, when all is done you must do this:
In cmd type:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
adb push <location/SystemUI.apk> /system/app
where <location> is the place where you have the file. so the command would be, for example:
adb push c:\temp\SystemUI.apk /system/app
can you provide the zip with the png images. I would like it so i can install via root explorer. thanks in advance!

What I meant was that I could take the SystemUI.apk file from whatever rom you are currently running. Different roms have different tweaks done here and there, and that's one of the larger areas of change, so I wanted to give you the correct one to avoid any potential complications.
Ok so I managed to pull the systemUI.apk an rename it to zip.
I found the following .png I ould like to change to ICS blue:
C:\noticons\SystemUI.zip\res\drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi
stat_sys_alarm.png
stat_sys_data_bluetooth.png
C:\noticons\SystemUI.zip\res\drawable-xhdpi
stat_notify_image.png
stat_notify_image_error.png
stat_notify_more.png
stat_sys_alarm.png
stat_sys_ringer_silent.png
stat_sys_ringer_vibrate.png
Now what I couldn't find the notification icons for Gmail/ Gtal/ Whatsapp etc etc; where can I find these? As well as bluetooth connected/ usb debugging icon etc

Why is that tricky please?
So how do I change those icons?

rename to .zip
search for the icon, change
rename to .apk
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
adb push C:/temp/SystemUI.apk/system/app
like that? Or should I really leave that alone as a n00b?

What I (or you) will have to do is download the application you want to modify, extract it and find the png that is going to be changed, edit it, name it the same thing as it was before. Then, double click and open the original apk with the archive manager (to avoid re-signing), navigate to the folder the image was in (probably /res/drawable_something) and then drag the new file over. It will overwrite the old image without needing to extract/re-sign/etc. then you adb push theapp.apk /data/app/ and see if it works.
*do you really need to rename it to a .zip to extract on windows?

can this be actually done without having to resign the apk? I remember trying to change the icon for facebook once. I simply copied the new icon inside the apk and overwrote the existing one (same name but obviously, different size). It seemed to work at first but then the app disappeared from the app drawer (it was still in /data/app/ but I could not use it anymore). had to manually delete it and download and install again from market...
In order to get it to work I had to resign it but we know that is not the optimal way to work...
hello all. I've been reading threads about pulling, pushing, editing, unpacking, signing, and all that for days now, but I still can't get my edited framework-res.apk to actually take effect .
I'm just trying to change some of the system notification icons, but when I replace the .apk, and reboot, the changes never take place. what am I doing wrong?
also apk tool CANNOT recompile my framework-res.apk, and since I'm only doing .png changes (not a 9.png mind you) I just open the original framework apk and overide the pngs that I want... at that point, I dont resign or anything...
I am rinning Swagged out Stock based on 2.3.5
kernel: 2.6.35.10-g4b48446
build: SOS N
software: 2.0.9\4.67\ODEX
and using clockworkMod 5.0.2.2
-I've tried just using root explorer to overide the original and permissions, and after I reboot no changes took place.
-I've tried adb pushing to the framework folder (but with not fancy permission commands, could that be the issue?) and then wiping dalvik(sp?) cache but no changes took place.
-I've also tried using an update.zip file but i can't figure out the actual code that needs to go into the "update-script" file.
Anyway, is there an obvious reason why I'm failing? I had success with editing and updating other .apk files (my music.apk for example works fine when I decompile ... compile.... and sign)
thanx for any help!
Hey guys !
I made a quick NoIncRing MOD, I figured while i was at it i would explain how to create the MOD.
I would like to Thank criskelo for his ZIP :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700174
I don't own an S3 but i did have the mod checked by an owner (works), i don't know what rom's it will work on so make a backup (as i said in the instructions).
How to Flash :
1. make sure you phone has a CWM recovery
2. backup SecPhone.apk and Secphone.odex (for odex rom's)
3. download the zip and place it in your internal SD
4. flash using, install zip from sd - choose zip from sd card
Download :

*Tested on LEN
I'll be happy to make Mod's for Any ROM you want. Simply attach the SecPhone.apk application from System/app
HOW TO ?
1. extract Secphone.apk from your phone/rom - system/app
2. download baksmali.jar and smali.jar from : http://code.google.com/p/smali/
3. extract classes.dex from SecPhone.apk
4. Put the classes.dex in to a folder alon with smali.jar and backsmali.jar then open a COMMAND window and navigate to the folder.
5. enter the following command :
java -Xmx512m -jar baksmali.jar -a 15 classes.dex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. You will now have an OUT folder, inside find : Ringer$1.smali
7. Look for 2 lines containing :
setstreamvolume
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Erase them (one is at the middle and one at the end)
9. now go back to your folder with classes.dex, OUT folder and smali.jar and erase classes.dex (VERY IMPORTANT !!)
10. In the command window enter :
java -Xmx512m -jar smali.jar out -a 15 -o classes.dex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. Now you will have a new classes.dex , drag it back in to your SecPhone.apk and in to my ZIP.
12. Flash and enjoy
this is such a great mod! Thanks again. Works perfectly!
So many awesome MOD.
Your welcome guys
Thanks for the mod but where the heck does secphone.apk live so I can back it up? A search in ES File explorer yielded no results.
Ah there you are............. system/app/
Hey I'm learning this stuff. That's my story and sticking to it!
the best way to figure these things out is by opening my zip with 7zip or winzip.
Inside you will see META-inf and system
then you can tell where the apps/xml's go !
system/app/secphone.apk

That's good to know.
The Mod works great on my SPH-L710. Thanks!! :good:
?
Has anyone tried this mod yet with the LF9 update?
Update: tried to apply Sprint's latest update from an update zip in CWM in another thread in this section and it failed because the update could not find "secphone.apk". So I copied back secphone.apk and secphone.odex, did the Sprint update.zip (LF9) and then re-flashed this mod. So far everything is working well.
This works GREAT for the Note II. Thank you for posting it!
Can this be updated for LJ7?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
It works on LJ7 if you follow the how to.

I tried to follow the "how to" so that I could do this myself. However after extracting SecPhone.apk there is no "classes.dex" inside of SecPhone.apk... What should I do to get this to work?
I am running the: Sprint LJ7_update_FULL_Odex Rom
Thanks in advance!
mod applied
I followed your instructions ad succesfully applied mod on galaxy i9100 XWLSJ stock rom.
thanks
delete plz
I downloaded the smali and baksmali files and followed the instructions but when I enter the first code my cmd windows says it can't be accessed. Any help? Do I need to decompile first or can I just open the apk with winrar?
Has anyone else got this to work on MD4? I looked for the setstreamvolume and could only find one line. Is that all there is?
I finally got this to work on MD4.
i can confirm that this does NOT work on MD3 rom.
Has anyone figured out how to fix that on md3 rom? I'm usie an app, which works, but also is always running in the background.
