there in the framework-res.apk and easy to replace, if you find some emoticons you like i can replace them for you

can u tell the method in PLAIN ENGLISH please?

Same as the guy above..oh and if it's not too much to ask, can you pls give us a step by step guide on how to do this.

1. Extract your framework-res.apk. you will find it in /system/framework/.
2. download and install 7zip, on your pc.. its a free program.
3. on your pc, right click on your extracted framework-res.apk, find the 7zip contex menu, and click on open archive (DONT EXTRACT IT)
4. A box will open, now navigate to the \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder, inside there you will find the emoticons, they have names like "emo_im_cool.png" and "emo_im_crying.png". find some suitable replacement emoticons, and rename them to the match the file names in the folder.
5. just drag and drop your new emoticons in the folder, and replace the existing ones.
6. close 7zip. now download the update.zip template i've attached at the bottom, unzip it and copy your modified framework to the framework folder inside the zip, go back to the root of the zip and zip it back up.
7. copy the update.zip to the root of your sd card and flash it from recovery

I found an easier solution, will post it IF succesful

But what if you just want to replace the text instead of the image?
I'm using the gingerbread keyboard and it has this smiley button, but how can i change them?

looking forward to it , it means we can disable our capacitive buttons and use this on screen buttons ....... at the moment it seems to be awesome ......
lets see if it can be integrated and works flawless......

yes, please post your framework-res.apk here. I dont have quarx build downloaded yet. It shud be done without a problem and will upload u a update.zip for it.

I'd be interested to see this in action too.. can you please modify this file? It's the framework from http://quarx2k.ru/cm9-nightly-defy+/CM9-NIGHTLY-120710-Defy+.zip ... thank you
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18827417/framework-res.apk

Type in command line "java -jar apktool.jar -if framework.res", then decompile it. Edit the files and before compile it, extract the archive "resources.arsc" that is inside the original "framework-res.apk" and copy it to "framework-res" folder. Then try to compile it. This should help. I´ve not tested the new "framework-res.apk" file, but at least I can compile it.

I tried that way too and it works, but apparently not successfully recompiled .. all are in folders without compiling. for example values and the files .xml either.

@pabloltg : I left for office today, will reach home @ 4 pm and will upload you the framework. (Obviously if somebody has not done it already )

You will have to replace some png files in the framework-res.apk of your rom. You can change it with winrar. First get those 3 pngs from the Nexus rom. Then open your framework-res.apk with winrar and search for the png in the drawable or minmap folder. Then rename the respective pngs of the Nexus icon to that of the Xperia icon and replace it in the apk.

Hi there! While I was trying to implement this for my rom, I found out which file to replace. Download this zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?758mnayrlt3dee4
It has the Nexus navigation icon bars. Open your SystemUI.apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and search for pngs which are ic_back.png, ic_home.png etc. Just replace these pngs with the ones in the downloaded zip and enjoy!

been looking everywhere for this..thanks bro :good:
[edit: can you help me out bro..i got the portrait icons good see]
[but then i found out in landscape it changes to the xperia navbar icons again]

[Q] [REQUEST] How to apply a different navbar to a CM11 theme engine?

You see, I am now using an android L theme on the new theme engine on PA BETA 1 but these navbar playstation icons bother me quite a bit. I much prefer the ones I use with softkeyz (no it doesn't work changing with it), the so called alternate android L's navbar.
Can it be themed manually or something? These ones to be more precise:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Anyone has a clue? Someone with experience on themes or knows how to do it.

I was exactly searching for this !

I got it! Had to edit the theme by decompiling and recompiling it back with the navbar icons I wanted. It is not that hard though.

so easy...change your theme apk file to zip format by renaming it.open with win rar and unzip it.you have some extracted folders and follow this:
assets<overlays<com.android.systemui<res<drawable-xxhdpi.in this folder looking for these PNG files like ic_sysbar_home,ic_sysbar_menu and etc. these are the themed ones for soft keyz.change them as you wish and remember your modification should respect the orginal png file size.anfter that surf back to the root of themed folders and rezip and sign it with some thing like signer app. done!:good:
