SystemUI & Sense - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I'm still newbie with HTC-Sense, Usually all my themes/mods are build from pure android.
But in HTC, Whatever changes i did in SystemUI and after successfully flash the modified one using flashable zip, Nothing is actually changed!
What i know is SystemUI.apk in Vanilla Android goes under System folder and in Sense under Priv-app folder.
So my question is, is there are another Sense-SysytemUI related hiding somewhere? Or i need a special/extra permission in updater-script?
Thanks guys,

Stock Android and HTC Sense SystemUI.apk are both located in /system/priv-app

Usually SystemUI goes under system\app in Vanilla Android, but still this is not what i was asking about.

You should check out this thread if you haven't already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697205

I believe recent apps is part of the sense launcher, maybe you find more luck in the prism.apk !

[Q] custom skins??

I dont know if this is possible to make custom skins that we could choose with the skin chooser? Im thinking no but its worth a shot to ask right
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah, i was wondering about that too. As all themes this as well could be created. Question is, where you need to put the file. Guess it must be stored in an accessible dir somewhere. Injecting a new theme there should work i guess.

They are .apk files.

The ones from the above thread?
They work apparently (thread title).
Just install the .apk you downloaded.
You need flashing for the framework mod, rooted device, it tells in the instructions, if i read it right

I stand corrected. I thought he meant the skins for Sense thing.
You could install the frameworks without root though, by using wpthis.ko
(I think it's .ko)
Just run it, then adb push the framework to /system/framework.
You may need temp-root for this.
But of course, temp-root ain't perm-root
I figured it out. You have to add the framework into a flashable .zip - if anyone would like any of the status bars, let me know and ill upload the .zip's

The frameworks don't change the colour of the statusbar background, just the icon colours and what they look like.

Is there anything special about the Desire HD Mod?
Are the icons different to ours?
Also - rEVOlution looks sssooooooooo good.

You can check out the link posted earlier in the thread to download the .apk's containing skins. In order to get different status bar icons, you'll need to flash a new framework file via .zip in recovery. The frameworks can be applied to any skin you wish.
I'm currently using the Froyo status bar and am loving it. The best part is having the actual battery percentage overlaying the battery icon. I've uploaded the flashable .zip for this one if you'd like to give it a try. Just install via recovery (dont forget to make a backup if you want to restore to default).

You must be rooted, and use root explorer.
1.- copy the xxx.apk in folder \system\app
2.- change permisions

I know,i know,it's understood from the beginning.
Maybe Franzyroy would help or take time to help you on this, at least show you globally what files could be involved and after this explore HotMyKeul rom or Helly that has Devil kernel apps in settings to check what changes are made.
Wish you success I keep thinking of it if i see any info that could help.

[Q] XPERIA-PLAY BOX IMAGE framework

Hi guys this is my first post here in xda!
I'm here to ask a thing:
When i unboxed my XPERIA PLAY I and turned it on i looked to the black status bar on the phone framework and looked to the box framework that was more beauty and was blue with white icons.
Can someone tell me if its possible to get the original blue framework like the image i have posted above, thanks in advanced, and sorry my English :S.
The photo of the box us edited with the computer. The statusbar looks on every xperia play that is on stock "ugly".
You must be rooted and edit the systemui.apk to get this

My PLAY is rooted, and i have 2.3.4 with it, what things i need to edit in systemui.apk and where do i get those files?
Thanks.
Which theme did u use?? I think its a theme effect. Try changing it to blue.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It's not a theme effect, it's actually older amdtroid version. I remembered my friend's X10 android 2.1 stock has this battery style.

You'll need to modify the battery icons inside framework-res.apk then push it back into system. Maybe you can ask someone to theme it for you

One more thing, do a nandroid backup before you modify. And make it a flashable zip and flash it via CWM.

i found themes in system app but in that file dont have wallpaper for setting..so i dont know which i should replace..
Oh right. The settings back ground in JB i think is Framework related. it doesn't lies in the Theme folder any more. You can check this thread. May be this will help.

well i fixed the fatal errors while opening settings app and everything is working fine, but i can not find out what can cause that few icons in settings were not themed. When i extract the settings.apk from system/app and i open it in windows with winrar all icons are like they should be.
i'm not a themer so i can't help you

understand, thank you for your help anyway
Those icons are controlled in the app itself. Example
The powermanagement icon is not changed in the settings, you need to edit the powermanagement.apk file to see a changed icon in the settings menu.
There are also icons that are controlled in the com.HTC.resources.apk, you can't decompile it but you can open the apk with 7zip and copy out the icons, edit them and copy them back in the apk.
Same is for framework.HTC.res.apk !
And make sure you do not touch the .9.png files. It srews up the apk !!!
Exactly, the problem was in com htc res apk , i change some icons and now everything is working correctly

Mr Hofs is right!
However, i think is better wait the update from the themer
