Hello dear Forum...
First off I have to apologize if I missed something in a sticky,
since I'm new to the forum and the hole rooting/customizing on my GT I-9000.
I've successfully rooted my phone and I'm running Darky_v10_RC5_Final now.
Could anyone provide a link or an explanation how to:
# set own icons for apps
# set lockscreen (as its said there are 4 different ones on this ROM; plus changing the lockscreen image in the settings is not quite working for me)
# setting another theme - if not too complicated.
many thanks in advance - seems to be a truly nice community!

To change the icon in an apk, you need to get the apk, open it with winrar and go to drawable-hdpi
There are pngs there. Normally, the icon one is called icon.png, but on some apps, it has a different name, for example ic_launcher_phone.png
You edit it and substitute it.
Then you push the apk back into your phone into /system/app in case it's a system app or you just copy the apk to your sdcard and install it.
Lockscreen background may not work with some specific lockscreens.
For a theme, to make one you'd need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi (opening it with winrar) and then push it back. That's for changing icons and part of the appearance, but to change text colours and other things you'd need to decompile the apk and edit some xml's.
To apply a theme you just need the zip of the theme, copy it into your sdcard and install it through cwm.

thank you for the answer!
Is there no way to change the icons of stock applications?
And how may I change the lockscreen?
could you please give me a link, or something how to apply themes via cwm - to be honest I don't even know what cwm is.
sorry for all the questions - many thanks in advance!

Sorry, had lost track of this thread.
You can change the icon of stock applications in same way, but you must be rooted since they are located in system/app
For the lockscreen, to theme the glass lockscreen, you need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi named zzz_unlock_arrow_0000.png up to zzz_unlock_arrow_0009.png and the zzz_unlock_blackbg.9.png and zzz_blackbg_dual.9.png
To theme puzzle lockscreen:
edit zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock and zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock_fit
For android lockscreen (in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-land-hdpi):
ic_jog_dial_unlock
ic_jog_dial_sound on
ic_jog_dial_sound off
For epic unlock on framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
In case you want to get a stock framework and get aosp lockscreen:
To get aosp lockscreen you'd need to decompile classes.dex in android.policy.jar and edit a few files.
For that, i use ubuntu.
You open android.policy.jar and extract classes.dex
Then get baksmali and smali and place them in the same location as classes.dex
Open up a terminal and type cd and the location
Example:
cd /home/coldflid/Desktop
Then type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex
(if you've got another version of bajsmali change the 1.2.5 for the version you have).
You can type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex -o *
Where * is the name of the folder where you want classes.dex to be decompiled
Then you'd need to mod LockPatternKeyGuardView.smali or replace it with a modded one.
Then type in terminal
Then type java -jar smali-1.2.5.jar *
Where * is the name of the folder where classes.dex was decompiled
out.dex should be generated, rename it to classes.dex and copy it to android.policy.jar (replace the old one).
Then use root explorer to copy it to system/framework

Hi,
as I have successfully changed the navbar icons in my systemui.apk (flashable mod does not work on modaco, so i did it myself, thx to arzbhatia for the icons!), i wanted more and tried to change the icon for wifi tether, as i do not like that white thing up there...
so i simply made a png of the pic i want to use, scaled it to the same format (65x65) and replaced it in the apk via 7zip.
but when i put the modified apk back to the system\app folder, i had a constant fc of systemui?!
is there any special treatment necessary on the png-files before putting them into an apk? as i used the given button icons before, i do not know how they were "constructed"...or is there any other mistake i may have made?!
mistakes i have NOT made:
- not set permissions before copying systemui.apk back to system\app folder
- extract and rezip apk for modding
thanks for any hint!
yours sincerely

Hi all, I'm newbie, and I want to share you guys the guide to make our status bar look like the Galaxy S4 (Specialy it has s4 white icon) .
-First you need to download the attachment, then extracted it
-Now you have to decompile ( or change extension to .zip and extracted it i guess) the systemUI.apk
-Next, find the drawable-hdpi folder in your systemUI.apk and replace it which the one you extracted in the attachment
-Recompile ( or compress by zip and change to .apk )
-Copy systemUI.apk mod to system/app ( remember to BACKUP your original apk)
-Use Xposed Tweakbox to make status bar full transparent and the clock to white, reboot and enjoyed

Don't sign SystemUI.apk - it's a System File.
Did you clear cach and Dalvik cache after replacing the File ?

Ah, now I got it.
You can not extract apk Files and change Files.
You have to decompile. -> Try to follow here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203166
Only copy & past is not possible in this case

Read first Post on Page 2
The reply up there I ask you becos' it's wrong, You can do this: Multi Select all the file > compress by zip > change to .apk. That done You need to decompile/recompile when customize the code, but now no need
Never unpack apks! This way you will lose signature.
Just take your apk,open it with WinRAR/7zip without changing the extension,go to res/drawable-hdpi and drag the files there. Then push your SystemUI again to your phone and it should work
If in the drawable-hdpi package there are also .9 pngs decompiling the apk may be necessary
If no one manages to get it working I will make a flashable zip
I think decompile is also necessary if xml Files are changed

thanks
mission accomplished for me
i was looking for this mod and i followed instructions on first post, but it doesn't work, because the new compiled systemUI.apk is not recognized by the phone (you can notice it when you see a different icon instead the red one).
The key is DO NOT ESTRACT any file, but only open systemUI.apk with 7zip, go to drawable-hdpi folder and drag files into it, images will be overwritten (i used only 2 files for this test, notification header and panel), then you can close 7zip.
Dariolob suggest is correct, do not extract files from systemUI.
For xposed tweak i followed instructions from youtube, search for "Make Galaxy Note look like the Galaxy S4"
sorry i cant post outside links
here is my mod:

Hello, I have a few questions.
Need Root for it?
And it interfere with software update?
Thank you very much !
SO...with the release of the new Sense 5 Roms for our beloved One X I'm not seeing any themes (I know it's early).
I've had a go at porting a few over by decompiling the systemui.apk, updating the images and recompling as you used to with the original sense 4+ roms but keep losing my status bar!
I'm just starting small at the moment, changing wifi icon, battery, signal etc etc but then I'm going to move onto app icons. The venom themes are epic and it would be awesome to see a few on the sense 5 ui!
Wondering if the geniuses here can shed some light, I haven't found any tutorials or help guides as of yet, hopefully this will start as a decent pool of information,

which tool are you using?
if you are using apktool, have you copied META-INF folder , from the original APK, inside the new one? ( Old signature)
after pushing it to the device, have you set permissions? (rw-r-r--)
Cache and Dalvik-cache wiped ?

ooooo didn't think about the META-INF...I'll give it a shot in the morning.
All the other steps i've done, multiple times. It's as if the systemui.apk doesn't apply during boot so maybe it is the meta file!
And I'm using apktool to decompile...recently found it better that going through the hassle of virtuous 10 suite

yep, apktool doesn't sign the apk, so you need to keep the old signature
Signing systemui.apk is not necessary. I tested many times.
To change pngs(especially patch9 pngs), just copy and paste to the apk with 7-zip if apktool get error or SystemUI FCs.
P.S. Please use the most original apk to modify if it's failed in previous build.

Not bothering with patch9s I hate those things!
For some reason everytime I push a new
SystemUI.apk to my phone, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik (for good measure) it won't apply so I lose the status bar and background etc. Essentially no system ui applies!
It's a pickle, im on ARHD at the moment so will have a go at decompiling! And try again
Funny thing is, someone made a made mod on here already for 1% battery, and even installing that doesn't work!...I'll keep tinkering

unfortunately for me is the same.
i'm trying to add a new item to settings.apk (SuperUser), i have edited all required xmls, added png, recompiled than signed, but no way to make it work.
i have also tried with zipsigner app using platform keys, but no result.. Settings won't show
Success (well a little)
Soooo....I've managed to mod the battery!
I'm going for a sort of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon 80's style eventually, but this is the first step! Now for the wifi/signal etc. etc.
So this is what I did...
Got an existing circle battery mod with the same naming convention (since I can't be bothered to rename 100 files )
Recoloured them all in photoshop and increased the pixels size to 50 x 50
Deleted the battery icons in the existing SystemUI.apk via 7zip
Added the modified battery icons to the apk
Then pushed to the phone via adb
It automatically rebooted and viola! I may run 'fixed permissions' from recovery to be safe and wipe cache/dalvik to make sure but it's looking good!

hey guys, if you are only changing icons, you don't need to decompile just swap the images by throwing the img in the .apk with ex(7zip) you only need to decompile with xml files and such and if you need a .9 img use the dot9 patcher in sdk then use this" https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74861217/draw9compiler.zip " to compile it before throwing it in the .apk. to use the compiler throw the .9 patched img into example1 then run the prog at main folder then look in done for compiled img

Yep already doing this mate, it's way easier than decompiling and recompiling.
Thanks for the input though!

Almost there...
I'm pretty much there with what I want to do now, status bar sorted (don't know about the clock color yet) also went ahead and did the nav bar icons or prism icon as they call it, and change the home nav bar background to transparent to declutter it a bit.
I'll upload my systemui and prism files once I'm finished so anyone can have a go.
When the Viper team decide to throw a sense 5 rom out the tweaks are going to make everything soooooo much simpler! :good:

This is a guide to enable the navbar on the Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.3 (NOT an overlay!). I can't guarantee this will work with any xposed modules or navbar mods. This will put an AOSP-like navigation bar on your Note 3, NOT a TouchWiz one! Which means from left to right, the buttons are: Back, Home, Recent.
[UPDATED 12/22/13] - Added back_ime (down arrow instead of back when keyboard is open)! Zip updated, steps are the same. See screenshots.
!!If you are on 4.4.2 KitKat!!
You do not need to do anything with SystemUI, Samsung left all the important stuff in there. Just download GravityBox Xposed module for KitKat, and enable navigation bar.
You need to know how to decompile SystemUI.apk, modify it, then recompile it.
This is for DEODEXED roms!
1. Decompile SystemUI.apk
2. Go to the folder SystemUI.apk was decompiled in. Open res/values/drawables.xml and add the following line, then save it:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>
3. Open /res/values/public.xml, find this line, delete it, then save:
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg_land" id="0x7f020194" />
4. Open the attached zip file, find and open the folder "drawable". Copy all 5 xml files and paste them in res/drawable/, replacing the existing files.
5. Delete the files "tw_navigationbar_bg.png" and "tw_navigationbar_bg_land.png" from /res/drawable.
6. Find the folder "drawable-xhdpi" in the attached zip and copy it to res/, this will add a new folder in that directory.
7. Find and open the folder "layout" in the attached zip and copy the xml file to res/layout, replacing the existing xml.
8. Compile the decompiled SystemUI.apk
7. Put the new SystemUI.apk in the system directory on your phone, change permissions to rw-r--r--. Now cut the new SystemUI.apk to the clipboard (ES file browser) and go to system/app and find the old SystemUI.apk.
9. Rename the old SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, and quickly paste the new SystemUI.apk into system/app. Be quick about pasting new apk, the phone will restart about 5 seconds after renaming the old one.
10. Add the following line to your build.prop:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
11. If your phone did not reboot on it's own, reboot the phone, and you should have a navigation bar! There are various guides on how to disable the capacitive nav buttons, so I won't cover that here.
Thanks to @gharrington for writing up this guide for the S4 on Android 4.2.2; I used that as a starting point!
Here is a pre-edited SystemUI.apk you can use (attached below). This removes any themes you have!
[UPDATED 12/22/13] - Added the down arrow instead of back when keyboard is open!
[UPDATED 12/24/13] - Made a flashable zip! If you want to flash a zip theme, just flash the attached zip after flashing your theme. Then either flash Navigation_Bar_ON.zip from this post or add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to your build.prop if you haven't already
[UPDATED 03/10/14] - KitKat users do not need this mod, the stock SystemUI has everything it needs. See big red text for instructions.
For DEODEXED: Copy the new SystemUI.apk to /system, change permissions to rw-r--r--. Go to /system/app and rename the old SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, then move the new SystemUI.apk to /system/app. Flash the Navigation_Bar_ON.zip from this post (thanks @jovi23!) in TWRP or CWM. Reboot, and done!
If your ROM doesn't have init.d support, add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (without quotes) to your build.prop, reboot, and done!
For ODEXED: Follow the same steps above, but also rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak.
DO NOT FLASH THE ZIP IF YOU ARE ON 4.4.2
You do not need to do anything to SystemUI.apk, Samsung left everything it needs in there. Just get GravityBox Xposed module for KitKat and enable the navigation bar.
If you wish to use this SystemUI.apk in your ROM, all I ask is that you give credit

Oh yes, sorry. I attached one to the second post.
This is what i been looking for have to look into how to decompile and recompiling the systemUI looks really complicated
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Would anyone mind testing this SystemUI.apk? Need to be deodexed. Copy it to /system/, then change permissions to rw-r--r--. Now move it over to /system/app. Be sure to rename your old one to SystemUI.apk.bak, incase it doesn't work. I made this from a stock, deodexed ROM, so it should work, but I want it tested by someone else before I post it up top.
This will get rid of a lot of theming, so if you are themed, beware, as I haven't tested it that.
Moved to second post.

Hmm, that's odd, I'm sure the apk needs those. Were there any errors on decompile? Also, did you install framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and twframework-res.apk into apktool?

Thanks. I think this is because you are running an ODEXED ROM, correct? From your sig I assume it is pure stock TouchWiz, just rooted. You can try using my SystemUI.apk that I posted a few posts back, but you would need to rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak AND SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, just so you get backups of existing files.
When I was doing it, my phone would reboot on it's own 5 seconds after renaming SystemUI.apk, so I only had 5 seconds to put the new one in there. This is where TWRP really helped.
In your screen shot - The Nav Bar looks like it's hiding the very bottom of the screen - Does this mod take into account the presence of the Nav Bar - And shift the display up - ie; is the Nav Bar hiding the Dock?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
Yes, this mod is an actual navbar. It does not hide the dock. I will post another screenshot.

I did almost all on the PC, only part I did on the phone was move the new SystemUI.apk into place. There is a stock SystemUI.apk I posted in post #6 if you want to give that a try (must be deodexed). If you do give it a try, please let me know how it works out
Anyway of making it transparent and also is there a way to enable 3 dot menu?

Thanks. I think this is because you are running an ODEXED ROM, correct? From your sig I assume it is pure stock TouchWiz, just rooted. You can try using my SystemUI.apk that I posted a few posts back, but you would need to rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.bak AND SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak, just so you get backups of existing files.
When I was doing it, my phone would reboot on it's own 5 seconds after renaming SystemUI.apk, so I only had 5 seconds to put the new one in there. This is where TWRP really helped.

I followed your advice and it worked! I now have the navbar. I'm odexed btw and it still worked. Thanks!
