[Q] Flashables?

first, i apologize if this is in a few threads all over these forums. ive tried reading through most but they are cluttered and outdated.
i have been looking for a few theme/mods in flashable form to use on a rooted stock/RUU rom.
i have been messing around with other roms trying to edit my own but it's becoming a very large hassle without a proper desktop and internet connection.
anyways, if anyone could point me to a thread with a working flash or tutorial for:
white taskbar (possibly similar to mikfroyo's theme)
battery icon with % (not metamorph files)
again, sorry if this information is in an obvious place, i cant seem to find it. thanks.

the battery icon one you can find in my sig, the links is for stock de-odexed ROMs though. If you have another ROM look at the OP for different versions of it

thanks so much!

Actually this one may work better for you, the other one was for an older version and is glitchy so I added the battery icons to the new framework.
Stock 3.30.651.2 Battery % Icons
Note: Be sure to wipe cache & dalvik before rebooting.

the 2nd file worked perfectly, thanks.
if anyone has a tutorial or flashable white task bar mod please inform me. thanks again.

hey shutuproman dude. you need a de-odexed rom to theme. this means .odex files that hold stuff for each .apk won't contradict the apk, causing massive force floses, and reboot. find a de-odexed rom, and you can flash whatever the hell you wnat.

You may be able to get away with it if you delete the .odex file, I've never tried it though. If it works it could easily be added to the updates script so it is done automatically.

[Q] [HELP] Porting some SystemUI tweaks to XWLP*

Hey guys,
I found this really nice pull down menu here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26035085&postcount=713
Except with this mod, I cannot add it onto my XWLP8 because it was made for XWLP9.
I've figured out how to move the battery icons over (by extracting a bit and looking thru then using the battery mod tool). I just would like to get pretty much the whole thing over including the transparent background and the black look of it.
What would be the best way of going about this? Or would it be better for me to just upload by SystemUI.apk and Framework.apk to let you guys put it together?

Well, I've been trying and trying to get it working. I have very little experience with android hacking, but I went into the Battery mod zip that i flashed on before and realised there was a MORPH folder within - i assumed whatever was in the folder would morph with the original system files. I chucked the files from the XWLP9 mod into the Morph folder in the places, and zipped it up again - I actually named the zip lol because I thought it would just stuff up my secondary boot i use for testing this stuff, and it actually worked. It looks like its working for most areas of the OS. Although I'm not too sure yet...

[request] circle battery stock rom AT&T

hello everyone
I have spend countless hours trying to figure how to get 1% circle battery mod on my s3 and no luck.
can someone out there help please.
Odexed rom.
Here is link of imgs that i want to use.
http://db.tt/qMI9hUzA

Hi ,
I am not sure if that is the best way but works 100% for my Galaxy SIII - Odexed rom. Go to the UOT Kitchen (I know it is not oficially compatible with ROMs 4 and higher yet ...) web page and prepare the "tiny" battery style set of icons ( I think that is what you are looking for) adjusting colors as you wish. Upload two files: framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your Android and "cook it". Once you download the mod do not flash it (it would not work) but unzip it and copy the modified SystemUI.apk into the Android: System/app folder overwriting the original one. Then restart the phone and everything should work perfect anyway works for me (I tested 5 different sets of icon).
PS. I used to use the Battery Mod Tool before which worked perfect on Galaxy S2 but does not on Galaxy S3 with the stock ROM yet.
Good luck!

Can you upload one set pof vattery please as im at work and i would like to try it. Then if it works ill cook me one for my taste.

Once you select the battery mod from the UOT Kitchen you will be able to generate the preview and check them out before cooking.

[Q] ediing SystemUI.apk

I am using a T989 4.0.3 UVLE1 rooted, otherwise stock. **DEodexed (added .bak to systemUI.odex) and 14togglesBlue.zip MOD added
When i extract the SystemUI.apk in Root Browser i find resources/assests (images in .png format) relating to the battery, wifi/mobile data, and signal bar icons for the status bar. The stock look is a green motif/theme for the battery and gray for the other icons, but included in the files are ICS blue colored icons that i have yet to see in my status bar, these .png files are named slightly different or are in a folder that is named slightly different.
If i wanted to use the ICS Blue styled icons, which i do, would it be as easy as replacing the green icons with the blue ones and renaming them?
Root browser allows me to extract SystemUI.apk so i can manipulate the files, ie rename and copy them, then when i am finished it only allows me to .zip SystemUI.apk
Is the .zip file created "flashable"? Is there a stndard/correct way of doing this?
Thank you.

Okay this is totally wrong.... lol
In order to edit any apk you need 7zip and apk manager or apk tool. And you need to properly deodex your system. Simply renaming systemui.odex to .bak will not "deodex" your ROM. I dont remember how to deodex anymore cause i dont run ROMs odexed. There are numerous threads explaining how to deodex so use search and google my friend
But you are on the right track. you could simply rename the .png files. But you have to rename them to exactly the same name as the ones which are being displayed currently. Or you could edit the status_bar.xml file and target the new .png files which is a bit more difficult but cleaner. Cause if you rename the new png files, you have to either delete or rename the old png files. Which i recommend the later.
Then you need to recompile the systemUI.apk with apk manager or apk tool (whichever you decide to use) google them both to get a better understanding of them. I dont wanna just "tell" you what exactly to do because i had to google everything myself, and in my googling i learned a lot more than what i wanted which made everything so much easier to do.
Also, when you recompile the apk, do not sign the apk. You could zip align the apk which i do to all my mods to ensure they are correct.
Hope this helped and good luck! If you need help just PM me or post in the thread. I respond to PMs quicker though. But have fun

So i used a MOD created by jim93 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616189) to edit a systemUI.apk to add ICS style blue battery, blue WiFi status with blue/white upstream/downstream symbols, and blue Signal bars. All while maintaning the toggles and quick panal settings.
Now i would like to:
1. ICS Blue Clock + Remove AM/PM
2. Obtain a better battery icon with percentage inside battery
3. Transparent Notification window
4. Activate 180 degree rotation
I would like to make these adjustment on stock 4.0.3 UVLE1 software
I cant find a custom ROM that doesnt compromise on at least 1 basic feature, also very bad experinces with ROMs in the past. For me the Stock system is very stable and EVERYTHING WORKS
Can someone please help me locate the Files needed to edit these items, or at least let me know if any of my goals are completely impossible
Any advice or information is greatly appreciated
THANKS XDA!
if anyone would like my modded file (.zip) i can gmail it to you, really i only replaced .png (image files) no big deal

I have done most of these edits that you would like to try and I will tell you this if you search google with the information you need you will find tutorials on everything you are asking for. This is what I did and how I learned these fun tasks. Everything you want to do especially in ICS can be accomplished. Also check out a site called UOT Kitchen, it may save you on a step or two. Although learning how to do it is still quite educational as well.

over it
Of course i googled these topics, i google things ALL the time lol I've also used this site as a resource for over a year, tried all the apk modification tools suggested to no avail. Not understanding the instructions given here and being a tech/computer savvy person has made me very upset. This has caused me allot of stress and loss of sleep, Gave up returned my phone to factory settings goodnight
Thanks?

[Q] [REQ][HOW TO?] How to theme a system app?

I just recently switched my stock rom to be deodexed and I'm now looking at the possibility of theming and mods for my rom.
I already have a little experience modding the signal icons on a different Android device, and I've already downloaded a mod from this forum that turns part of the stock dialer to a holo dark/material theme, but I want to do more with it.
So far I can't seem to find a good tutorial on how to properly mod system files, especially knowing that the stock rom on the Moto G is a Motorola variant of Android KitKat, and not AOSP or similar, although it's close enough that I figure some mods might work since many Xposed modules for AOSP work fine on my stock rom.
Would it be safe to look for a tutorial based on AOSP 4.4.4, or does anyone know a good place to learn the proper way to modify and theme a Motorola stock rom?

get apktool
with this decompile your apks you want to theme/mod
hapy theming! (there plenty of tutorials of how to edit images or the .9 patch files. with gimp etc.. just search )
after that recompile, if you just have edited some images (ressources) pull them afterwards from the new COMPILED apk out in a folder.
take the original apk & open with 7zip & pull the edited stuff into the right directions.
if you have done some advanced modification such as in values folder, you need after the new apk is compiled, open it with 7zip & pull from the original app the meta-inf folder into the new compiled one (singing) after tthat replace it on that phone
