There's already a HOWTO for this here
i have the clock hidden now would love the systemUI signal mod
Just replace the images in and out of the draw able folders in SystemUI
Open it with 7zip (don't extract) ... Drag out the 3G icon and H icon into a temp folder ... Rename the H one to overwrite the one you want to replace and then drag back into the draw able folder in 7zip accepting yes to overwrite ... Just close 7zip and then push this SystemUI back onto phone , reboot

Yep, it's all pretty simple and much more rewarding when you figure it out yourself (with a little help, of course )

i've been searching for like hours and haven't found a thread on this. is there any way to just flash a custom battery for the notification bar? i'd like the green circle battery that can be found in the Baked Snack ROM (as well as a few others). i tried ripping it out of this ROM but failed, even though i was following the structure of some battery update zip file i found laying around here. thanks
What rom are you running? DC? I will be porting it to CYANMOD when it becomes an RC. If you want to try it yourself, use adb and do these:
pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/
open the apk using 7zip
copy the "res" folder somewhere so you can work on it
Under drawable, or drawable hdpi something you will see "stat_sys battery" with all of your battery icons.
Copy the new icons to that folder replacing the old ones, drag the res folder back into the apk using 7zip
and copy the apk back to /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Done and Done....

do i have to use adb though? i can't seem to get it to run, but maybe that's because i'm running a cmd window already, not sure because i can't stop it.
edit: nvm, i was getting ahead of myself there for a sec haha. thanks again!!!
edit2: and yes, Damage Control. the other ROMs i've tried were great but data numbers didn't work, google goggles didn't work, visual voicemail didn't work...and i even tried all the little tricks for visual voicemail/data numbers and still couldn't get it to work. DC is the best fully functional ROM imo next to the stock ROM.
Haha, yeah use adb. Might be able to do it without... but i don't know how. Maybe use a file manager to copy the file to your sd card, then transfer to your comp, do the above, then do the opposite to get it back...

yup, that's what i'm gonna try. if not then i'll figure it out. i really just wasn't sure which files needed to be replaced. i knew a few, but not all.
ps - i'll keep an eye out for your version of the CM RC.

Tried this last night with the GPS icon and it still showned on reboot.
alright so i just now got this working lol
i prob used a more complicated way of changing it but that's because adb would just crash for whatever reason.
for anyone else who wants to do what i did, these were my steps
using a computer:
1. extract the ROM zip file you're trying to modify the battery for
2. navigate to system/framework
3. open framework-res.apk with 7zip
4. double click res
5. double click drawable-hdpi
6. copy your new modified battery icons into this drawable-hdpi folder to replace
7. re-zip the ROM
8. re-sign the ROM
9. re-flash
i'm sure you can do this without having to re-flash your ROM, but this is what i did, it worked, and that's all that matters
big thanks again to thegame!

Hi everyone,
I'm having a few questions regarding the theming of framework-res.apk on Android Revolution (No-Sense/Sense)..
After I pull the .apk, and decompile it, I edit the images so that the .9.png files stay intact. Then after that I compile the entire .apk and use WinRar to only push the images to the origional framework-res.apk..
But everytime I flash it I get bootloops and it won't boot into Android, any idea what I do wrong in the proces?
Thanks in advance!
if your using apk manager when you recompile the framework-res.apk it will ask you if its system app click yes then it will ask if you want to keep signature also click yes then you will have to delete the icons you changed in the keep folder then press enter in cmd window
it will compile and be called unsignedframework-res.apk rename to framework-.apk then open the rom using winrar (DO NOT EXTRACT) then just drag and drop the new framework-res.apk into the framework folder click ok let it do its thing then close winrar drop it on sd card and flash

Or do what i do, make a copy of the zip file then extract the files you want to view, put them in a folder, then the icons you wanna swap put straight into the orig zip folder in there place, this method works for me fine & without any bootloops

I find it much easyer this way. Can i ask you a question if you know abit about framework modding can you see were i have gone wrong here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195549
I can live with it but i would rather change it to a light gray or a different color? Any help would be very nice & not had a reply about this yet? Can you help?
i had the same issue and i found it easier to update the old framework and overwrite existing files. once you have completed compiling your new framework APK extract the contents and copy into the old framework... and that seems to work fine
did have a totally bog standard (stock) desire hd til yesterday, then i decided to root it and installed Revolution on my phone.
I've been using Desktop Visulizer to change icons on my main screen, but does anyone know how i can go changing the icons in the app drawer??
Any help....much appreciated.
matt
Install root explorer, go to system/app and pull any apk u want to change the icon of, open archive of the apk (with 7zip, winrar, etc), find the icon png and edit to your taste, save your changes and update archive, put back the apk file and reboot your phone.
u can find the icon png in res/drawable-hdpi folder

I can help you out halfway. To change the boot animation, download one that you would like, browse to system/media from root explorer or another file explorer and replace the old one with the one you downloaded and reboot

Explained here, but it may not work right with files that have already been modified. They might not decompile correctly, I'd check with Tim before changing anything though, he'll let you know if it's workable.

I have already made a mod for the carrier labels in the fi27 update. The new carrier label says team rejectz. If you would like to make your own carrier label(s) for fh23 for your own personal use, here's how...
What you will need:
-Pc/laptop updated with the latest java /sdk/jdk. (google it)
-Team Rejectz quick fix. (xda-dev section)
-Root file explorer such as : root explorer or ES file explorer OR adb shell on your pc to pull/push files from your pc to your phone.
-Notepad++ (google it)
-7 zip (google it)
- rooted e4gt and a NANDROID BACKUP!
1. Pull the framework res from your phone. Make a copy and save it. (system/framework)
2. Use the quick fix to decompile the framework res apk. The quick fix will make a framework res folder.
3. Go to res/values/strings.xml and open it with NotePad ++
4. At the top of NotePad ++ you will see an icon that looks like a pair of binoculars. That's the search icon.
Search for "Sprint". You should get 3 instances.
5 edit "Sprint" to say Black or Team Rejectz, your name or whatever you like. Just make sure its not too big or it won't work.
6. Recompile. After quick fix is done recompiling, there will be 2 new folders in the framework res folder; build, and dist. Go into the dist folder and you will see your new framework res apk.
7. Open the archive (don't extract, just open archive) of both the original copy of the framework res and the new one you edited from the dist folder. Drag and drop the META inf folder from the original to the modded apk. Now double click on the res folder in both archives. Drag and drop the drawable hdpi folder from the original to the modded archive.
Close out the archives and push your new framework res to system/app on your phone with either adb or your rooted file explorer. If you use the file explorer to push the framework res make sure you set the permissions the same as the rest of the system apks first. Push, reboot, enjoy.
Thanks

Yea. Tried this today. I ran into a couple problems. The last step you say to push the framework-res file to "system/app" is that correct cause there is no room in there. I only have like a couple megs in there. I would have thought that it replaces the original file in "system/framework". I copied it there and over wrote the original and set permissions . The phone restarted by it self when I did that and got stuck on the boot animation. I force restarted the phone again and it still gets stuck on the boot animation. I restored my nandroid. I followed your instructions to a T. With the exception of where the framework-res file should go:crying: My carrier label has the same amount of characters as "Team Rejectz".

Ok, first yes that should go to framework, system/app must have been a typo. Second, the getting stuck on boot could be a number of things, you'll have to get a logcat to find the specific cause. When this happened to me it was an improper edit that caused the xml to fail although it recompiled fine. Hope that helps.

It is if u have rooted ur phone as u need to access your /system directory.
Ur icons are stored in two locations
1, /system/app/systemui.apk,
2, /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Navigate to these locations and backup originals and copy these files to a computer and open the apks with 7zip.
Browse the apk for the images u want to change and paste the new image in with into the apk and rename to match the original names.
Copy apk to phone and reboot.
