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

I'm currently using LockBot Pro to change the locksreen and its background, works fine for me.
I'll try to change the stock app icons as soon as I have time. Thanks!

CRT screen off animation for JVP for odexed (stock) and deodexed ROM's.
UPDATE 14.06.2011:
- /framework-res.apk/resources.arsc file isn't compressed (like in stock Samsung ROM's)
- optimized all framework PNGs (with optipng) in framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk (lower memory footprint, maybe slightly faster)
- autofixing /system/framework permissions in CWM package
10.06.2011:
- fixed CWM package
- enabled animation in /framework-res.apk/res/values/bools.xml
All .apk files all zipaligned, like in stock ROM
Installation:
Download zip and apply via CWM:
CRT_screen_off-optimized-JVP-CWM3-proper.zip (5.71 MB)
OR (if you don't have CWM):
Download framework-res.apk and replace it in /system/framework/ directory by Root Explorer or adb shell. You should have ~6MB free space on /system partition before operation (delete some unneeded apps from system using Root Explorer or nitrality).
framework-res.apk (7.95 MB)
After installation you have to open Settings => Display => Animations and turn them ON to get it working Also don't change speed of animations by Spare Parts or nitrality - it will disable CRT screen off.
thank you so much that was prety fast
BTW what is electron beam ?
can you provide pics pls?
does not work, says installation aborted.
Tested? I Made the same and gives me a bootloop

Download apk_manager 5.0 beta (somewhere in apk_manager thread).
Download apktool 1.4.1 (or newer), extract it, replace apktool.jar in apk_manager/other folder with downloaded version.
Pull framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework/ and put them in apk_manager (modding folder).
Open apk_manager, choose framework-res.apk as project, decompile it with dependency, as dependency give twframework-res.apk.
After decompile go to projects/framework-res.apk/res/values/.
Open bools.xml in notepad, change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false' and save it.
Go to apk_manager, compile, answer Yes for question about system file, answer Yes in next question, go to keep folder, remove resources.arsc, then hit enter in apk_manager.
After successful compile you can choose zipalign options.
You will find unsignedframework-res.apk in modding folder, rename it to framework-res.apk and put in /system/framework/.
Pretty easy
WOW!! very useful and nice step by step.
Thanks Mr. Bo$s I will use your guide after I receive my SGS from repair in Sunday, I will tell you if I successful in this
no I haven't successful it's keep restart on boot animation:confused
I KNOW it says 'CWM3', but will it work with the 'CWM2.5' that comes with speedmod's new kernel?
thx for the response...
WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!
I ended up using "Super Manager" (free) from the market to install the apk file instead of messing with CWM.
Thanks a lot for that!!

after all that make reboot intio cwm recovery and take fix permissions
most of bt wifi drain or any problems come from noobish copying over files via adb, root explorer, cwm flashables that are not setting proper permisions and owners for files... fix permisions should be used 'just in case' after such interference with system
Thanks, works like a charm!

Can anyone please point me to a tutorial (or write one) on how I can "inject" the 9-lockscreen-mod into the theme I'm currently running?
I have both the CWM-zip for the theme, as well as the source for the 9-lock-mod.
As I understand it there are 3 files that needs modification:
- framework-res.apk
- framework.jar
- android.policy.jar
I have modded the framework-res.apk using APK Manager (although I haven't tested it). But I'm unsure as to what I'm supposed to do with the .jar-files.

You should be able to decompile them like .apk files. Try renaming their extensions to apk.
Thanks, man!
And it's actually your theme I want to keep (with LockeOn' mod), but I also want the 9-lock. (Specifically the MIUI).
I'll try to rename and decompile. Should I decompile any of the above mentioned files with dependancies?

Well... Im using a galaxy 3 but i believe the method must be somewhat same for all phones... So indirectly... SAME QUESTION HERE...
Hi everyone,
I'm using the deodexed 4.2.1 rom on My Galaxy Nexus with a custom SystemUI.apk that works (it doesn't make notification and navigation bar disappear) taken from this thread.
I successful replaced unwanted image files in the apk with 7zip and now I'm trying to change the clock color in the taskbar.
I do the following things, in order:
1. Decompile apk with apktools
2. Change values of color in the proper xmls
3. Recompile apk
4. Replace SystemUI with the new one
5. Clean Cache/Dalvik and reboot
After that notification and navigation bar disappear. Am i missing something?
Help please! D':
Does the modified apk have the proper permissions?

Hey mate!!!!!
You must sign apk with signapk everytime you make changes into an apk.
http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/ in dex2jar you will find d2j-apk-sign.sh/bat script
Seems that i told you bull**** coz systemUI never have to be signed...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848458
So, restoring old "stock" SystemUI.apk you get phone working well again?

Yes, I made a nandroid backp for safety.
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.

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?

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?
