Something I did and posting for share. What we have here are 28 color themes for the stock Samsung keyboard (14 themes to the auto-correction stock Samsung keyboard, and 14 themes to the non auto-correction stock Samsung keyboard. PNG (9.png) color/shading enhancements to the grey stock keyboard to now include various color keys and color key frames.
Inspiration: After seeing some of the stellar themes from forum member “AddisG”, I started dissecting the keyboard apk and playing around with some pretty basic theming… but (IMO) improvements to the all grey stock keyboard. Hit his thanks too… and check out his work.
NOTE: tested on CleanROM ACE v4.9 & v4.8 (N7105XXDMC3), CleanROM ACE v4.7 (N7105XXDMB6), CleanROM ACE v4.6.1 (N7105XXDMB3), CleanROM ACE v4.5 (N7105XXDMA8). Flashable ZIPs used are Scrosler's "Empty Flashable Zip_Note2" file.. these updater scripts/binary have worked on all CleanROM versions I've used since 3.5. I suspect they will also work on other ROMs, but I have not tested.
Keyboard function:
Auto-Correct keyboard
Non Auto-Correct keyboard
Keyboard themes:
GREY KEYS with 5 color key borders (blue, green, yellow,orange, red) against a contrasting dark keyboard background.
BLACK KEYS with 6 color key borders (blue, green, yellow,orange, red, white) against a contrasting grey keyboard background.
BLUE KEYS against a contrasting dark grey keyboard background.
RED KEY against a contrasting dark grey keyboard background.
GREEN KEY against a contrasting dark grey keyboard background.
Zip files attached:
Keyboard_Images.zip (contains all the keyboard image samples)
28 themed keyboard zips. IMPORTANT: each one of these 28 zips contain the SamsungIME.apk (for those who wish to install via Root Manager and alike…. contain the modified PNG files for those who wish to play around with further theming…. and contain the Installable zip for those who wish to flash install from custom recovery).
You’ll need to unzip any of these 28 themed keyboard zips to get to the samsungIME.apk, PNGs, and/or the Flashable install zip files.
From the sample images attached, you’ll also notice that certain apps which use the stock keyboard will also reflect the theme (in attached example, my Lux Auto Brightness app shows the themed keyboard in it’s menu settings screen).
In case you wish to make your own alterations of keyboard colors/ shading/ backgrounds, the files which were modified:
/res/drawable-sw359dp-land-xhdpi folder:
qwerty_keypad_bg.png (landscape keyboard background)
/res/drawable-sw359dp-xhdpi folder:
qwerty_keypad_bg.png (portrait keyboard background)
sip_key_bg_normal.9.png ( key color/shading)
sip_key_bg_option.9.png ( key color/shading)
sip_key_bg_presses.9.png ( key color/shading)
How to Install:
1. Make a copy of your current active SamsungIME.apk (found in /system/app ) and put it in a safe place (in case you wish to revert back). Do
NOT move or rename the active file.. just copy it and store in a safe location (i.e., on ExtSD or your computer).
2. Make a Nandroid / Backup just in case
3. Install (2 options):
a. flash via Recovery: copy desired FlashableZIP to phone… boot to custom recovery… wipe cache… flash ZIP
b. copy desired themed SamsungIME.apk to phone storage
i. from phone, use Root Explorer (or any root file manager) and copy SamsungIME.apk to /system first… and reset permission to rw.r..r..
ii. move the fixed permission file from /system to /system/app (replace current SamsungIME.apk)
4. Reboot and enjoy
posting a few example images... rest are in the "Keyboard_Images.zip"

Hi Doc, I tried this on JediX by copying the existing samsungime.apk and pasting (new filename with copy in the name). I then extracted the blue theme apk, copied it into /system/app after deleting the existing file and set permissions. I keep getting FCs - android keyboard has stopped. I tried rebooting and then deleted the copied file and renamed the original file back to SamsungIME.apk and set permissions on it. However, I keep getting the error when I had zero problems before. I even went to recovery, wiped cache/dalvik and reinstalled JediX right over the existing. I still get errors. I tried going into language and input to change some settings hoping to reset things but no luck. Any ideas? I'd rather not setup everything all over again although I assume it will be perfectly safe to use TB to restore missing apps when backed up from and restored to the same ROM.

I just installed the blue-framed apk and working perfect for me. I always copy the new apk to /system first...and fix permissions to RW-R--R-- THEN move from /system to /system/app and replace...then reboot. If that doesn't work, you can always put the new apk in an empty flashable zip [in the /system/app folder]. Scrosler [Scott] has one posted. Hope you get it sorted out. Try fixing permissions in /system first...then move.
@RickMD: I re-read your post and I think one possible problem might be how you renamed the original SamsungIME.apk. If you renamed it "SamsungIMEcopy.apk" you'll have FCs... I always rename the suffix (i.e., "SamsungIME.apkCOPY"). So try this:
1. copy the new blue-framed SamsungIME.apk" to your external
2. move from external to internal /system (not /system/app yet).
3. fix permissions to RW-R--R-- (in the /system folder)
4. move to /system/app folder
5. delete or move the file that you added 'copy' to (again, not sure how you renamed it)
6. reboot.
If that works, next time you want to try a new keyboard:
1. copy (don't rename or move) the active SamsungIME.apk to external (in case you wish to revert)
2. copy new SamsungIME.apk to /system, and fix permissions
3. move from /system to /system/app (when you do this, it will ask "overwrite existing file", answer Y)
4. reboot.
Never rename or move an ACTIVE system file, or you will get FCs.

This is a basic theme that changes the H icon for HSPA in the status bar to a 4G icon for CM7.0.2 Final and Nightly 41-42.
I've included a Flashable Zip for CWR and an Icon pack if you would rather do it yourself.
Let me know how it goes and if you like the theme.
As for special requests for 4G icons, please attach a copy of SystemUI.apk if you're on 2.3, a copy of Framework-res.apk if you're on 2.2 or a copy of the theme APK if it's a ThemeManager theme. I just cant download or find every rom or theme that is requested.
Enjoy!

If I were to have a deodexed stock rom - could you put together this for that?
I get a 4G icon until it syncs with google then I get a Green "H" is it possible that it is the androidian theme I am running that is missing the Icon??

You could just use the images and copy and replace them in the apk and adb push. Back up first because playing with framework files can soft brick devices easily (boot loop)

Pull the framework-res.apk from your rom and pm the file and I'll post it up after editing and zipaligning it. Or you can just use ninjamorph and use the icon pack.

I atleast got adb, I tested by pushing a text file to my phone, I dont want to mess my phone up trying to apply this so what would I do to apply the 4g theme?
Thank you!
open up your zip rom folder on the computer, then go /system/framework/framework-res.apk and drag that apk file out, open that apk, best and easy with 7-zip program and put them in there, just close it up after, saves itself.. and adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
same with Anroidian.apk and Cyanbread.apk

1. Use root explorer or adb to pull SystemUI.apk from the system/app folder
2. On your computer rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.zip
3. Open SystemUI.apk.zip (dont extract just open archive) using 7zip and go to res\drawable-hdpi folder
4. From the 4Gicons.zip posted in the OP copy the 8 png's and paste them into the System.apk.zip in res\drawable-hdpi.
5. Rename SystemUI.apk.zip back to SystemUI.apk
6. Zipalign APK(Step not absolutely necessary but optimizes the apk) put SystemUI.apk into tools folder of AndroidSDK. Open compand prompt and run this line "zipalign -v 4 SystemUI.apk SystemUIzipaligned.apk". A new APK called SystemUIzipaligned.apk will be created in the tools folder. Rename it back to SystemUI.apk
7. Use root explorer or Adb to push SystemUI.apk back to system/app folder
8. Using root explorer long press on SystemUI.apk and select permissions, place checks to User: read and write; Group read; Others: read, leave all other unchecked. ( i dont know how to change permissions using adb, this step might not be necessary if you dont have root explorer)
8. SystemUI.apk might force close constantly after copying it back. So, turn of screen of the phone, then back on but dont unlock, then hold power button and choose power off or reboot.
9.And your done
Here's a flashable zip I made you for GingerVillian 1.5 if you dont want to go through all those steps: 4Gicons-theme-GV15.zip

I'm having the exact same problem.
Is there anyway to correct this? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Here's stock samsung keyboard. You can install it on any ROM (deodexed or odexed)
UDPATE - 8/2/2012- New *working* flashable zips added. Old ones have been removed. No need to add the files manually, just flash the zip
SPECIAL thanks to mor_1228 for the flashable zips. I created my flashable zips using his flashable zip as a base
PS - The keyboard seems to be having incompatibility issues on *some* CM7 ROMs. It does install but force closes when you try to open it. I will look into this issue once my exams get over.
Instructions -
1) If you are using a deodexed ROM, download
flashable-deodexed.zip from attachments.
If you are using an odexed ROM, download
flashable-odexed.zip from attachments.
SouthEastAsian users - download AxT9IME_MDPI_SEA.zip (thanks to ketut
for this)
2) Place the file in your SD card.
3) Boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery
4) Select 'install zip from sd card'
5) Navigate to the file and select it. Let it install
6) Reboot
Follow this method if the flashable zips are not working for you -
How to install:
1) Download the attached zip file (Keyboard_Deodexed.zip for Deodexed ROM's and Keyboard_Odexed.zip for Odexed ROM's) and extract it (Its not a flashable zip)
2) Using root explorer or same kind of tool, place these files and set the permissions -
If the flashable zip files dont work, then try this method
DEODEXED ROM's~
Touchwiz.xml put in /system/etc/permissions and set permission to rw-r--r-- (I have attached a screenshot, see it if you dont understand the permission stuff)
libdhwr.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r--
libXt9_core.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r--
T9db folder(with all files inside, copy this whole folder)
put in /system and set permission to rwxr-xr-x
AxT9IME.apk put in /system /app and set permission to rw-r--r--
ODEXED ROM's ~
Everything is same as above. You just need to add this - AxT9IME.odex put in /system/app and set permission to rw-r--r--
If you dont understand permissions take a look at screenshots.
rw-r--r--

** Finally I got some time to test this during preparatory leave for the next exam. Ahan, here's a workaround for adding words to dictionary - Open any app where you can type something using the keyboard, go to settings, Activate XT9, now get back to the place where you want to type, type a word which you want to save to your dictionary. It will automatically get saved to dictionary. Next time you type the same word, it'll automatically appear in the black suggestion menu above the keyboard. Cheers
Thnx ....itz working on ics final by jusada..

Its not warez cuz its not a paid app and many developers are providing this keyboard with their custom rom's, so i don't think it's illegal or something.
This is the stock samsung keyboard. You can install it on any ROM. (root required)
How to install:
1) Download the attached zip file (keyboard.zip) and extract it
2) Using root explorer or same kind of tool, place these files and set the permissions -
Touchwiz.xml put in /system/etc/permissions and set permission to rw–r –r
libdhwr.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw–r– r
libXt9_core.so put in /system/lib and set permission to rw–r– r
AxT9IME.apk put in /system /app and set permission to rw–r –r
T9db folder(with all files inside, do not copy the files, copy this whole folder)
put in /system and set permission to rwxr-xr-x
Reboot and enjoy

Hello,
I did all that but still won't work, only numbers. help...
Which ROM are you using?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Cyano Ace - RC 2.2 - BehradGH
It should work perfectly on that rom. Please try again. Read the instructions properly and set the permissions accordingly.
If you still face problems then tell me

I tried again and doesn't work properly. qwerty mode works fine, but 3x4 keyboard doesn't. when i hit letter only numbers are being written.
Umm, press the third button in the 4th column, which has the nos. '123' written on it. Try pressing some number buttons and then repress the no. button to come back to alphabet mode. I hope this helps.
I am actually not able to understand why the problem is occuring. It should work fine on any rom and any phone because it does not require touchwiz framework.

I allready tried that few times, numbers and symbols works ok, but alphabet dont.

Sir, I've updated it. Please try the odexed version (do not place AxT9IME.odex in system, please leave it). I know the ROM you are using is Deodexed but using odexed version may fix the problem
I had that problem on another samsung keyboard.. I could not type letters only numbers... Than I noticed that permissions for the T9DB were not rwxr-xr-x as they should be but they were rw–r– r! So check permissions and reboot... For me it worked!
Anyway with every samsung keypad that I tried I always had a fc trying to add a new word to dictionary with 3x4 keyboard! I hope this keyboard won't have that issue!
I'm tired of trying Stock keyboards. Can you please tell me if in this one you can add new words to T9? I always get inputmethod.xt9 error, but now I have one that when I add I don't have the error, but the word isn't saved to the dictionary.

Install De-odexed version. ICSunday is deodexed, I guess. Anyway, you can still try it. It wont harm your phone in anyway

Ics rom's thread has been deleted so I could not check if ics is deodexed or not! Anyway I'll try other version too!
Edit : it works but it fc when trying to add a new word!
Samsung Galaxy S II (Skyrocket) SoftKeys
For all of us who once had a SGS2 and wants to have the same navigation keys as on that phone, or at least try it out. I always liked the menu key on it the best.
These keys are built from a high-res pic I found of the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, it has Menu, Home, Search, Recent and Back.
Landscape PNG's are included.
There's no "menu" key, only "MENU_BIG", usable in AOKP.
This is now a ZipTheme/MetaMorph file. If you want to extract the files and do a systemUI.apk update instead, it can be done via this file as well.
If you plan to use my softkey-set for a themerelease, please let me know and remember to mention me in the thread.
I know this is only softkeys, but even if you find a way to make profit of these, please don't.

Big thanks to atticus182 for helping me out with an easy way to do a ZipTheme.zip.
atticus182 said:
Installation Methods (Method 1 Recommended)
Straight from your Galaxy Nexus
1. Easiest Method
*** ZipThemer *** Does not work on AOKP build 19, please try MetaMorph instead!
Download and install ZipThemer from the Market
Download a Softkey Style using the ZipThemer link in the First Post, and open up ZipThemer on your phone
If this is the first time using ZipThemer, hit the (hidden) menu key -> Hit "Update Edify" -> Hit "Browse" (pick a file that you have flashed before on your phone, like your ROM or a theme) -> Hit "Configure" -> Then hit the 'back' softkey to return to the main screen.
Click the "+Theme" button, browse to the download folder and select the .zip you have just downloaded using the ZipThemer link in the First Post, probably /sdcard/download
Click the "Build It!" button, and when it prompts if you want to make an "undo-zip", click "Always"
You will now see the output screen with the Build Log, check if everything went alright, it will show that a zip file has been created on /sdcard/
Reboot your phone to Recovery after this and flash the .zip file that is created on /sdcard/
Done! If you experience problems or want to undo the action just flash the "undo-zip" that's also located on /sdcard/
*** MetaMorph *** Does not work on ARHD, please try one of the methods below instead!
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..
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!
Using your Computer
3. Manual Method - Images using Updater Script
Download THIS Updater Script
Extract the SystemUI.apk from your current ROM from /system/app
Open the SystemUI.apk with WinRAR and navigate to /res/drawable-xhdpi
Add the images you downloaded from this thread into this folder, it will overwrite the original icons
Open the downloaded updater script and drag your SystemUI.apk into the /system/app folder, replacing the current file which is just a placeholder
Flash using recovery, done!
4. Automatic Method - Images using Softkey Modder - thanks to mlbvsnba!
Download THIS Softkey Modder
Place the downloaded softkey images into the "PUT_IMAGES_HERE" folder
Connect your phone to your computer
Make sure USB debugging is enabled (located in Settings --> Developer options)
Run/Open "Create Flashable Zip.bat"
Answer yes ("y") to both transfer prompts (or transfer the zips yourself)
Flash the modded (or original) zip through CWM (a.k.a. Rom Manager) **Do NOT wipe anything!** and enjoy!

Sorry, left one, you're on your own. It might be in a SkyRocket stock image file somewhere. It's just an image I took from google to compare. So good luck, finding it, mate. Sorry I can't help you more than that.
Regarding the right one, the one I'm using, I'll still link you to blackbearblanc . dk, since this is where I found it. I can't give you something that isn't mine, when the artist is around to be found in these forums. I'd like his efforts to be seen. So browse thru his dropbox.

regular zip has been replaced by ZipThemer ready file.
hmmmm...the zipthemer file didn't work for me.
this is my first ziptheme so maybe i did something wrong, but i followed the directions in the first post and it created the 2 files. everything seemed to work just fine, flashed it in recovery (using CWM touch based recovery, maybe that has something to do with it) but nothing changed.
anyone know if ninjamorph will work? i am VERY comfortable with that app. may take a little longer, but if i know it will work, i would use that every time.

Nah, I just tried it myself.. Reflashed the image of my theme, with the normal keys in them.. And then used thst file as the build as stated.. And build it with the keys in. Update and undo zips are just fine, the systemui.apk has all images, but it doesnt replace the keys for me, neither. I will investigate further.. - Are you using a theme, mate? I'm asking you because if you do, I have an easy work around for you. PM me an answer.
Woops, I checked out Ninjamorph. And yes, if you can make it work, it should be fine. Basically you just extract the 10 images from my zip, then in Ninjamorph, navigate to system/app/systemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi and put the 10 images there. If you can do that, you're golden. I managed to open my systemUI.apk, but didn't know how to get to other things, once in there, lol. But if you know how to use the app, just put my 10 images into the drawable-xhdpi folder.

***Ok here's a guide and some files to get ya going.....this is not hard or timely so don't stress no decompiling etc..
Copy your framework-res.apk from phone or from downloaded rom zip of your current rom(...just for good measure) then copy to pc and use 7zip to view the framework-res.apk . Go to the "res" folder then navigate to "drawable-xhdpi" then find the files with matching names from the zip I posted (they'll be clustered together) delete those and then select and drag and drop my files into the folder.
Next copy your modified framework-res.apk back to your phone's sdcard (int or ext) and use a root explorer program to copy and paste the new file back into the system/framework folder....NOW realize this as soon as you copy the new file into place your phone is going to reboot automatically don't panic AND DON'T DELETE YOUR CURRENT FRAMEWORK-RES.APK.....COPY AND OVERWRITE IT just do it that way...Remember after your phone reboots TO GO AND CHANGE PERMISSIONS then REBOOT MANUALLY......PROFIT !
Please hit thanks if this HELPS
If you'd like to quickly test each one my suggestion is:
Needed-----
1) computer....(guess you could use phone...but ouch!)
2 )zip file of your current rom on computer.....or just copy out the framework-res.apk from your system to sdcard then to computer
3) 7zip or other archive handler
4) about 550mb of space on int or ext sdcard
My method has been to grab the "framework-res.apk" in question and then select copy and paste an instance of the apk into each separate theme folder.....then one by one open the folder.....open the apk with 7zip...navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi and drag the icon files from the folder into the apk pressing yes to perform the operation......go through and do this to each theme then throw all the theme folders into a single folder and copy this to your phone.......
Then when ready to try use your root explorer navigate to your chosen theme select copy and then navigate to "system" folder....I then go to the "vold" folder and paste the framework-res.apk in there (temporarily) I then change the permissions and after changing the permissions I then select MOVE and move the file into "system/framework" and then select do a Hot Restart.....system loads right back up ready for testing.....follow these steps to run through and find the one that suits you the best......
******MY FILES IN POST #3******

This is just a partial theme....I will not be taking requests at this time to add or remove things (can be done yourself). I have just themed the parts of the rom that I like themed, If I do more I will add it here.
I'm posting a dropbox link that contains he modded apks...it is not flashable, however grab the files with a root explorer program and add them to their perspective locations One By One (renaming original apk by adding .bak to the filename) and then copy over modded apk and set permissions. Some of the files may cause a soft reboot before you are able to set permissions....Just be sure to go back and set permissions after it reboots.
Once you have added the files the results will be like the screens below.....Enjoy and take a moment to head to thermax04's thread and hit his thanks button.......and hit mine too as it took a while to resize this for our phone.....enough blah blah....here's pics and link ENJOY

I'm pretty sure screen write worked for me on synergy but now I'm running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582027 and yes I've noticed screen write doesn't work for me either

That is weird wonder why that is. You did have the 2 FlashAnnotate.apk's? Are you running the latest of that ROM? Worked for others and me.

Hey did your icon change WORKED PERFECTLY!!!! Used the red one AWESOME!
If I could take a screenshot with the new AirCommand icons I would show you. VERY VERY easy process. Question...could you do the same process to change other icons in the ROM. I imagine you could as long as you renamed them the same. Not sure as far as resolution for icons go though.

Hi Everyone,
i saw the White Themed Cataclysm thread and i fell in love with the white stuff (actually i was already in love with it since my Xperia) and i couldn't rest until i managed to theme it for myself.
Settings app

}
Instructions:
just flash the zip with recovery. make sure to make a backup before flashing.
if you are on odexed rom, not to worry, i'm on odex as well, but i deodexed the settings.apk, so just do the same thing and make sure you delete your settings.odex file (make a copy of that, too, in case you wanna go back, you'll need it).
Old instructions:
attached you can find the apk file. just download, unzip and copy it over with any file manager (that can write the system folder), set persmissions (644), reboot and you're good to go.
make sure to backup the original apk.
the settings apk is located in system/priv-app/ folder.

- white "add account" icon on white background - thanks to Desno365 for the help
- white "delete launcher" icon on white background - just replaced the icon, so let me know if this causes any issues

Instructions:
just flash the zip with recovery. make sure to make a backup before flashing.
Change log:
v1.1
- initial version
Download:

Mirror: v1.0

Known bugs:
- you tell me
Red! Theme
this is a beta and it does NOT contain the settings app, so you have to flash that individually.
Screenshots:
Instructions:
flash white settings first, doesn't really matter which one but i recommend to use the grayscaled version (unless you have any of them already flashed), then flash the Red! theme. it's important to flash Red! last, since with the other mods, you overwrite the framework and you lose the red theme.
If you are on odexed rom and haven't used any mods for Settings.apk & SystemUI.apk, then make sure the delete the .odex files for these two apps from system\priv-app folder!
Change log:
beta 1
- first release for testing but surely can be used as daily driver, there are some minor bugs though.
Download:
Beta 1
====================================================================================================
I don't like this mod, take me back to the original!
Revert Zips - thanks to 22sl22
Get them here: http://d-h.st/users/22sl22/?fld_id=31862#files
This is odexed stock but if you are running deodex just delete the odex (from the zip).
Clear cache/dalvik is recommended
Flash away & Enjoy
====================================================================================================
Disclaimer:
THIS IS FOR 4.4.2 STOCK - but might work on older/other 4.4 roms as well. Do this on your own risk, i'm not responsible for any damage you do by applying this mod. CREATE A BACKUP before flashing!
if you like these themes, feel free to buy me a beer (though i don't drink beer )

i wouldn't have been able to do this without this tutorial here (for xperia devices). thanks a lot to funky0308 for it!

If you have used apktool go in "res/xml/settings _ headers.xml" to find out what icon uses, but I think it's this icon because there aren't others printing icons

hi i'm having problems with my default settings app.
i just have rooted my nexus 4 and changed the default font and i forgot to creat a backup...and now i can't open the Settings.
with this mod the settings app will be fixed?what do u think?and what program should i use to move the folder to the system?
thanks in advance.
Can you change "add account" and home pngs? They are white on white so it's not possible to see them well

i tried to change the add account image in the xml, but doesn't seem to have effect for some reason - i can't understand though why, the png is there and it did change for the first time :S if i change the png, i'm afraid, i'll screw up something else...
for the bins on the home settings, i'll look into it, didn't check that before, sorry
ps: i guess i figured what the problem is: whenever i change the settings_header.xml, it seems, it doesn't change when i recompile the apk and therefore those 2 icons are not getting changed, even though i do the edit. :S strange.
Donjamal, I noticed another thing that need to be changed
Look at the picture

hi,
i used root explorer to move it around but if you have recovery, i suggest to flash the newer version.
if you changed the font, i don't think, this will have any effect on that. you might have to wipe dalvik & cache.

don't know, possible of course though. i tried it several times now and still no effect. i can even add new png resources and stuff, but it doesn't change anything in the xml :S
i just decompiled the apk and it's there now but it still doesn't change in the apk itself. i guess then it might be smali.
for the add account icon, this is what i change:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_add_light" android:id="@id/account_add" android:title="@string/add_account_label">
<intent android:action="android.settings.ADD_ACCOUNT_SETTINGS" />
</header>

yeah, just go ahead. anything you can do. let me know if you need any resources or anything or is the zip enough.
Unfortunately not working with Purity ROM I've been looking for such mod for a long time but don't want to change rom.
When I extract the settings.apk to system/priv-app settings won't open... It just happens nothing. When I flash the flashable zip via CWM I get a bootloop. What a shame... I really like this mod!

Sorry, forgot to mention... Permissions set and rebooted as well!
After replacing the backed up settings.apk the Problem remained. Fixed it with reflashing the rom. Weird...
