I think this tut is for advance users. But others can try
1. Get your "framework-res.apk" in /system/framework
2. Use apktool to decomplie that file. (I recommend apktool becoz I often use it )
- Command to decomplie: apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
3. Download source file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4u6y6udecy60dei
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. In extracted folder which u get from "framework-res.apk", find "anim" folder in \res
5. Extract source file in step 3, u will get 2 folder:
- anims
- other_files
6. Copy files from both folders in step 5 into "anim" folder in step 4
7. Open "integers.xml" in /res/value and find this line:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then add the following lines after it:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Complie your "framework-res.apk" with command: apktool b framework-res new.apk
9. You will get a file "new.apk" but dont use it. Open extracted folder which u get in step 2, u will find a folder "build" and a file is "resource.arsc" inside
10. Now you need to use 7zip. Right click on that resource file, choose 7zip > add to archive and select original framework-res.apk with type is zip.
11. Open "new.apk" in step 8 and original "framework-res.apk" with 7zip. Drag and drop "anim" and xml folders in "new.apk" to "framework-res.apk"
12. It's finished. U can use the file "framework-res.apk" now and see the transition.
Have fun! If u have question, just ask and I will answer

1. Put ur framework-res.apk to res/framework
2. When ur ready, press Patcher.exe
3. Then press Enter
4. Once done patching, put the patchers (flashable zip) to ur phone and flash it!

You can get them from a stock ROM zip by deompiling the apk they came from. (SystemUI/ framework-res, etc.)

Thanks but i have tried that i just open the rom and there is nothing there it says empty. Can u guide me how to decompile it??

Opening the ROM isn't the same as decompiling. If all you need are .png images, rename the .apk to .zip, open it, then navigate to /res/drawable or similar and select the icons you need and drag them to the desktop.

Thanks, i m downloadeing a new rom right now and i l tell u how its goes. I m gonna try to make some ICS blue system icons too.

Sorry guys can't open it anybody can guide me step by step or more easily jus send the files please..
Thanks

[REQ] Flashable .zip file with the attached Softkey pics for PA

Hello fellow xda members,
can someone help me to create a flashable .zip file for PA with the attached pictures of my own Softkey creation?
I tried myself, replaced the images in another flashable file for PA, tried zipThemer but nothing worked... :crying:
I think there could be other members who like those softkeys, they would appreciate it as much as me. If you're a themer and want to implement the softkeys in your theme, feel free to do so!
Attached is an overview and the individual pics, you do not see the individual pics since they have a transparent backgroung, but they are there
Thanks in advance!

So we're already three people
No one willing and able to help?

cut that out into individual .png's and i will do it for you. not sure if they will be cross compatible with later ROM updates though.

Thank you, highly appreciated. Attached is a zip with the individual .png's.
If I have a working file, maybe I can figure it out how to update for future versions.

it's actually quite simple to do yourself for future versions and requires nothing more than 7-zip. you are just modifying the images in SystemUI.apk, and 7-zip won't affect the signatures.
1. open (open, not extract) the ROM zip with 7-zip, and browse to "system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi".
2. drag your images into "drawable-xhdpi" folder in 7-zip, it will overwrite the existing softkeys. you will see a prompt asking if you want to replace those files, say yes.
3. close 7-zip, you will be asked if you want to update the archive, say yes.
4. follow standard flashing procedure with the modded ROM zip.
i am not familiar with vrtheme or zipthemer, so i only know the "old-fashioned" way of modding your SystemUI.apk, so if you upload that, i could help also. liquid150 has already nicely offered to help, hopefully more knowledgeable about that sort of thing

Thanks, for the guide. I was trying it that way, but with another program than 7zip. Unfortunately I'm on a Mac and there is only an unofficial 7zip version. Will try that out.
But how do you open the SystemUI.apk inside the archive?

ahh i didn't know about there not being an official Mac version.. well, assuming the unofficial version functions the same way, when you open the archive, you can click into the .apk files as if they were folders. so as you are clicking down into the folders, just double-click the SystemUI.apk and it opens into the apk folder structure.
or you could always just extract the SystemUI.apk from the ROM and do the 7-zip modifications directly in the apk file. then make your own little flashable zip with just that apk to put it back onto your phone.

Working on a ZipThemer zip where this will be Universal for ya give me a few.

That sounds awesome, ÜBER!!!

Okay so i need somebody to test.. this is the first time i've done it for the softkeys... but everything should be fine. let me know how it works.
FLX-Softkeys.zip
Its a ZipThemer zip so you need to use Zip Themer to make the flashable if you dont know how visit my Theme Thread and in post #7 there is a tutorial it is linked at the end of the OP. Enjoy

Ok, I'll give it a try now.

Will tell you inna few, just made a fresh clean install of the newest PA version and gonna try it now.

EDIT2: It only works in the PhoneUI mode in PA. This is weird, but I think it has something to do with how PA works...

Yes its.. its because PA uses MDPI when in tablet mode not XHDPI which is where the softkeys get put.
Edit:
Okay fixed it for MDPI and HDPI go ahead and download it again from the previous link.

Thanks for your efforts, but it still only works in PhoneUI. ZipThemer tells me that 15 entries are updated...

Weird.. :S anyways you forgot the landscape softkeys.. which i am making my self.. as well as modding the little menu for my personal use. This is what it looks like. Im using the original menu key you had as the menu_big.

Looks very nice.
I created those keys a while back and used them in an AOKP version in which you could change the softkey pics in the ROM's settings. I never used anything in landscape mode, this is why I left it out.
PA moves the navbar to the bottom of the screen when switching into landscape, so I thought I don't need it since I always used PA in TabletUI.
But thanks for your efforts and making the png's for landscape mode

Actually you no need to decompile it, just change the .apk to .zip.
The only thing to do is push the OP files into the ".zip".
After that rename .zip to .apk, and push to system.
You're done.
Hit thanks if I helped!
Note: The Z3 framework-res.apk don't have "value" this file. I tried to force push and it give me bootloop.
Note 2: Trying to use another method: compile the .apk by replace the zip.

sorry to bother you again @Pandemic I've just noticed all animations are very smoooth,but i found a small bug with the three-dot-menu animation...this animation is slow. I attached a screenshot so you will know which animation im talking about

2.Recompile and push to phone
