Decompile system ui.apk, and replace the icons in res/drawable hdpi with the ones u want

or UOT, under icons, you can select your own custom uni colour ones.
you can change a whole lot more than signal bars if you like
extract systemUI.apk as above, and you can find individual png files to match colours.

I thought decompiling was confusing too at first, but it really isn't.
In your case all you have to do is extract the apk with winrar, just like you do with a zip file.
Then just replace the pngs and zip it back up.

You need to edit images if your using cm7 or a Gingerbread Tom its in framework-res in the framework folder and in SystemUI on the app folder as for sense you will need to edit files in the HTC resources apk its in the framework folder if its a sense 2.0 Tom then inside of the I believe customize folder find an apk to edit(that is if your wanting to be able to resourt to stock theme) and edit that or just edit the HTC resource file like mentioned for sense sorry if there are any mistakes in this I'm on my phone and can't check for proper names of the locations.

Ok thanks for the info....what programs are out there that are good for editing these apks? I'm sorry I'm new to editing apks and this is my learning experience!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well to edit the images in the apk just change the .apk to .zip and look through it for the files you want to edit they will be images as for the txt you will need to edit the services.jar there is a guide on here somewhere that tells you how to do it just Google changing txt color in android notification bar.

I'm not worried about text color I already did the notification bar I'm more concerned with the lock tabs and loading bars....the small green accents here and there

Those are in framework-res if your on an aosp rom so just open it up and play around.

Also what program should I use to edit xml documents?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
That's something I'm not exactly sure of you will need to decompile the apk first if I remember correctly then u edit never took the time to research how to decompile bit after its decompiled you should be able to use several programs just Google for one
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well I changed apk to zip and then extracted....there weren't a lot of images but there were a lot of xml documents that had titles that looked like they were for what I needed to edit so now I just need to figure out how to edit them....I know a lot of html and basic javascript so from my understanding it should be easy but my version of visual studio won't let me edit xml.....I need another program....recommendations?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Go into it and look for the hdpi folders there should be about 600 images if your in framework-res

Found it....looks like quite a job! Any idea where I could find replacement icons without having to re edit all of these?

Just edit the hue in Photoshop or paint.net its real easy I use paint.net plus its free and lightweight only 3 megs and does a great job
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
So I'm using paint.net to work my way through the hdpi images....when I'm done do I just rezip the framework file with the stuff set to store and then change extension to .apk and then rezip the Rom and flash it? Idk how to apply my changes

Flash it? Did you make an updater for it or did you replace the files in a ROM that you're going to flash? I personally just push the .apk via ADB shell.
How did it go

I did the xml editing for all the status bars, vol bars etc on my old Eris to change them to blue. Wasn't too bad, just extracted the XML where the current colors were all listed then edited the raw xml with a hex editor and put the new colors in (backwards) then applied, was pretty cool....
edited alll the files that I wanted and re packed them into my rom (skyraider) then just flashed the rom as if it were a nightly update (no wipe data/factory reset).....It worked great! I mucked a few things up here and there but overall it looks very slick....I've officially made my first theme for skyraider 4.0! Wasn't too hard at all....But now that I've done all this work there's a few images I can't seem to find that I want to change the color of....Mainly the highlights press color on the select a connection type dropdown and more importantly the volume popup bar when you increase the phone volume. Also I'm interested in trying to edit some apps like the market and the messages list......and my keyboard so I can get rid of the green in the candidates bar but unfortunately I think these apps are "signed" or something.....Does anyone have information on editing apks like that? when I try to edit them it seems to work correctly until I try to install it on my phone....Input on how to change these apps and the volume bar and everything else stated would be greatly appreciated.....And many thanks to odst for being as helpful as he has been with all of this. This has been a great learning experience

I'm looking for the status bar icons that come with vanilla Gingerbread. Like the ones in CM.
Also, would like to know where I should copy them to.
I tried looking inside the CM7 zip, but couldn't find anything that looked familiar.
Anyone knows if it can be extracted somehow from the CM7 ROM and be used with the stock rom?
Yes, theyre in system/systemui.apk
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Thanks! Found it. It's actually: system/app/systemui.apk
The folder structure is obviously different from the stock rom. Anyone have an idea how I replace the existing icons?
Use 7zip to open the apk and replace them in system/res folder i think it is
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
There is no res folder inside "system". There's a res folder in the root, but there's only one file called "encryption"

The one he wants its in systemui.. Look in the res/hdpi or so folder
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I've found it. I tried modifying the stock SystemUI.apk by replacing the icons in it with the ones from the CM7 rom. I then replaced the original SystemUI.apk with the modified one using Root Explorer, but by doing it the SystemUI process force closed leaving me with no status bar. It remained without status bar even after reboot.
So I guess this is not as easy as it seemed to be. I don't want to mess around with the root folder anymore, so if anyone has a flashable zip that can replace the status bar with AOSP icons I would greatly appreciate it!
Really easy to do, next time change the permissions then you wont get FC but if you have the odex version of the update heres the link to get the icons. Its by mikeyinid towards the bottom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20377172

Hey guys.. so using (quite a lot) few different themes and flashables I nearly have a fully inverted CM10 ROM running now. The only thing I'm really missing now to complete my look is a proper holo black (transparent or not I don't mind) drop down status bar. Any of you fellow xda peeps know where I can find a flashable that will just theme the drop down only?
Cheers

I always just pull my SystemUI.apk and replace notification_header_bg.9.png and notification_panel_bg.9.png to make a fully blacked out (not transparent) drop down menu/status bar.

Copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, and use a program like 7Zip or WinRAR to copy/paste the pngs in this zip (https://www.box.com/s/rzisk7efjj21r4bqunvz) to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder in the apk. Then paste the changed SystemUI.apk back to your system/app folder, set permissions, and reboot. That should give you a status bar that's completely blacked out (see attached screenshot).
As always, take precautions before doing this, just in case something got messed up along the way.

What tint are you talking about? I don't notice it.
There is a tint of your notifications that come in the top left of the screen. I believe it takes away a lot of the good looks of touchwiz roms. When the tint is removed I believe it looks so much better
The correct way to do it is decompile the SystemUI.apk, then in the values folder open the dimens.xml.
Edit line 25 and 26 and change the % to 100.0% on both lines and recompile.

Hey bp. Thanks for the response. Any possible way you can make a zipp that can be flashed on touchwiz roms to eliminate the tint? It would be much appreciated!
