I want to change back to the stock notification icons for 4g/Signal bars/Wifi etc on my rom.
Is there any simple way to do that? i tried replacing the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk with the ones from a base TW one.
I can't seem to get it done. Any help?

Should I be able to take the framework-res.apk from one ROM and put it in to another ROM and then flash the entire ROM? Because I just pulled one from an Azrael ROM and put it in to an EViO ROM and flashed it and I still had all the same notification bar icons, etc.
Not a good idea. Check out the theme forum to learn how to theme. There is a lot of good stuff in there. And the notification bar icons are usually stored in the individual apk's, not the framework.
In a sense ROM, a lot of the icons are in the com.htc.resources.apk instead of the framework-res.apk. That should get you there, everything should be fine as long as both the transplant ROM's have the same base.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
You have to wipe your dalvik anytime you change something like that
Hi I'm on a 2.1 Sense rom and I was just wondering how do I change the notif bar's battery and background?
I tried just changing the icons in the framework-res apk in the drawable-mdpi folder
then I just saved it and pushed it and replaced the original framework but that just put me on an endless repeat of booting so I came back to 2.1 sense so .. How do I change it ?

cm6.1 well you can go into cyanogen setting under ui than extras there is some different ones to pick you can use a theme you can flash a custom one its all on you or your rom
i suggest a theme poke around the forums for one
you can find a metamorph theme for your phone. and you just apply the notification bar with metamorph app
Anyone know if there are mods to change the icons on the bar?
I've already a mod to change the battery icon but can not find the rest for this ROM. Also I've tried changing the SystemUI.apk create, but by replacing the png icons I like failure, gives an error message (SYstemUI.apk corrupt ......). thanks.
I seriously loathe the uber-colorful icons that TouchWiz has for things like the Camera, Gallery, Dialer, etc.
What do I need to do to change them to stock JellyBean icons? Root? Theme? Alternative launcher?
Thanx in advance.
It's super easy to change icons using Nova, & you don't need root. I don't have experience with other launchers, or methods.

Idk if it's the same on the s3 but it is easier if rooted I believe. Drag your rom that your theming onto your computer, find system ui. Apk and extract just that, then open it with 7zip or something like that and then it's in one of the folders inside of the res folder. I think that's where the icons are stored. As long as you don't change the names, you'll be fine. Just replace them and restart your phone. Or re flash using the modified rom
Download a launcher of your choice. My first choice for pimping the UI is sslauncher. Then find an icon pack you want to use. For simple icons that you can choose the colour of I recommend MetroStation.
Icons are normally change in most launchers by first placing them on you home screen and then long pressing them and choosing edit.
Good luck
Check out "mycolorscreen" for inspiration.
Thanx to all 3 of you.
Do any of the methods above help with the notification icons also? I find it really odd that the text messaging notification icon is an envelope... you know, like email.
To mod a ROM, there are a couple ways to go about it.
1. If all you want to do is replace an icon with one from another ROM, THEME or other MOD and the icons are the same size, you can simply replace them in the framework-res or SystemUI apk.
2. if you want to change something like color, text, clock centering or use custom made icons, you have to decomple the framework-res or SystemUI apk, add the icons (if that is what you are changeing) and update the .xml file, then recompile and zipalign and or sign.
Is that about right?
