Overground: can we get a sticky?
reserved for faq
Alrite just a couple questions about theming and customization.
I would like to apply your red sense theme.
-Do I have to use a rom or can I just apply it on my rooted phone?
-If I have to use a rom which do you suggest so I can still use the original internet app that came with the phone?
Thx for all your help!
Sent you a PM about this actually.
Whats the trick to enable transparency? Particularly the notification pull-down. I have already modified framework-res.apk to include the transparent images, however they are not displaying transparent when applied to the phone. I read a few things about hexing, and even found a 'transparency patcher' program from droid-forums. This patcher apparently, does the hex work for you on services.jar. However, it did not do the trick. What am I missing here?
I'm running my own fully deodexed custom rom based on the 2.2 sense leak.
I'm working on Transparency as well...I contacted Xeudoxus at droidforums...hopefully he can help.
I would just like to know how to manually change my icons and or folders on my home screen and in my app drawer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I too would like to find out how to change the "Folders" icon from the plain manila to obviously something else.

All root themes will usually only work for the rom they are made for. Sometimes there are big changes to the firmware, sometimes little... a good rule of thumb is to always make a nandroid backup if your an early adopter. So long story short:
1. yes
2. whatever rom i made the theme for... you can only use the original browser app with sense

Changing folder icons/app icons: you're gonna have to theme the rom you're using
basic ingredients in no particular order:
1. update.zip- just download one of themes and the update script in there (META-INF) or make your own if you feel like learning the syntax
2. resigning tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2
3. 7zip for extracting apks
4. Android SDK
5. Lots of time
Start extracting apks and viewing the contents of res/drawable-hdpi---where you'll find icons
Most icons are named ic_launcher_XXXX.png, some are named app_icon, others are just simply icon... you'll have to look around to find them as there is no easy way to change them. Once you find the icon you want to replace, drop your new icon (with exactly the same name) into the same directory (preferably using 7zip since you don't have to have the directory extracted to replace it) and resign the entire zip file... flash zip and win!
So how much time do you think I would need if I was to do this? Just kidding looks like a pain in the ass. However, doable. Thanks for the link to signing the zip. Thought it just might be a bit easier. Hopefully soon I can change the plain folders to a picture of my girlfriend or something.

Signal Bars
I have seemed to try everything to change the signal bar(s) colors. I have changed all of the icons to a red theme and the only way I can think thats left is that it has to be hex coded. Important fact is I am running skyraider 2.0.1. Has anyone had any luck changing these?
First I would like to thank litepro for his amazing rom and team and second to all the designers for the status bar and setting. I will not take any credits for their hard work.
I will though test their work to see if it work for us using litepro rom v3.0+
Instructions and intro: link => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274&page=691 see post # 6902
more will be uploaded soon as i can confirmed
Galaxy blue => systemui.apk and setting.apk below.
Litening rom green => just rename both files to the same as above and paste into system/apps
Please press thanks if it work for your phone and leave a comment for others. Always remember to backup first.
Enjoy!
Finally i manage to install it, is it possible to change the battery icon with the one of criskelo rom honey style ?
Thanks
the link for instructions just goes to last page of lite'ning ROM thread
how do i add the system and steetings apk do i just delete old ones and replace ?????
Yes, just copy then past to system/app but you need an application to acces root directory

This is just a mini theme version, anything related to litening battery will not work due to different framework.apk file which will affect the rom to cause it to freeze or infinite boot loop.
does this theme work on villainrom 2.3 as well mate ?

I think it should work as well as it does not affect the framework, but i'm not 100% sure as i haven't tested on vr rom. I would advice u to backup first before replacing files, if it work for u, let me know n i'ill update the post title. Cheers!
Hello guys.

I don't really want to use a different rom,with go launcher ex i've got everything perfect except the status bar icons.
I read that the icons arw saved in framework-res.apk. but i can't find any sets of these file to change it out.
I have a stock rooted s2 with android 2.3.6
Thanks for your help

Go to you SystemUi.apk (in system/app folder), copy it to your PC.
Open it with rar or with zip7.
You will get acess to the res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Unrar or unzip this folder to your desktop. In it are all the icons that you wanna change... change them as you like... Put the folder back on the apk using the same rar or zip7.
Now - finally - you will have to resign the apk again (search how, 1st time it´s hard to get it right).
Push it back to the phone, backup the original as systemui.bak, and write this one over it.
Install it, reboot.... enjoy
Thanks me 10x if I helped .

I meant to ask if you tried UOT kitchen??

Its easy to use but if you get stuck just ask.
Even simpler, use the theme kitchen.

You can even use it for odexed (stock) roms.

There is actually an app called NinjaMorph that you can get from the play store, its what I used for my S2 to changed some icons and you can do it all on your phone, the app will unzip then zip the apk automatically, all you have to do is pick the PNG your replacing the old one with, make sure you got the new PNG in your phones SD card that's all.

Hi guys, I'm looking for the status bar pattern in the SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk in order to change it into a full transparent white through ZipThemer (and finally have a transparent status bar in 4.2.2 stock :victory
But there's so many png in those files that I don't know which one I should use
Can you guys help me ?
Many thanks !

Next time, try Google search if you aren't comfortable with xda search.
Literally the first link when I searched for "status bar png systemUI.apk"
Please read the entire thread before you do anything. The instructions in the OP are flawed.

With the new roms this is not an option as it is no longer a png file file a combo of color codes thoughout the systemui and framework res. It took me 3 months to find all the changes to redirect it to a png

I'm not sure I understand your post. You mean I have to change .xml files to apply a transparent status bar ? That is not a problem with ZipThemer, right ?

What I mean depending on your rom is that you will have to adjust the color codes. Your issues is that the main place one of these changes needs to be made are in a place tat cant be adjusted with zip themer.

You would have to decompile the both Framework-res apk and the systemui.apk and make about 15 xml edits to redirect it to an image and then remove a few places. Then recompile the apks and then flash them. This would have to be done for each rom you flash.
What are you trying to do over all?

4.2.2 stock with some mods (beats louder, a custom battery in status bar, a new locking...)
I agree that I have no idea why CM doesn't add this in their most recent ROM's, making the statusbar transparent is such an improvement to the UI immediately
Well... I have searched through the forum to find answers and also asked in some threads but no answers. So this is my last try...
Here´s the deal:
I rooted my phone using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261
This means that I don´t have a custom recovery (I guess)... just plain root.
I use stock 4.3 odexed and now I want to use the weatherwidget from either S4 or perhaps a MOD of the same. For installation I know I have to push it with a rootexplorer of some kind. I know all about permissions so I´m not new to this at all.
However... It´s hard to find what I´m looking for... and if I have concerns the thread is dead or something.
Can anyone give me a hint on what Weatherwidget I can use? As I wrote... I have Stock 4.3 ODEXED.
Best regards

Go to the themes and apps section, there you can find what you are looking for in the first or the second page. Remember to delete the odex file though when changing the AccuWeather app
Thanx for the reply...
However... those few Weatherapps I found has too little info for me to dare pushing them. I found one that I really want to try but I don´t have the guts since I have a odexed rom... the thread doesn´t state for what ROM or anything.

Just take a backup of your current widget, then push the AccuWeather app from s4 or note3 whichever you like and delete the odex file, restart, Note 3 and s4 both came with 4.3 so I don't think there will be any problems.
Allright!
Looking into the ZIP I find that even the files in the "framework" and "lib" folders has ODEX-files in the stock folder... shall I remove them also or just the widget-ones?
