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?

systemUI.apk is in system/app... use root explorer to copy it.. then reboot...

many thanks but how do i change permissions [or where]

After copying the file, in root explorer, long-click on the file, then click on permissions.. and set the permissions in 9 boxes like this
x x -
x - -
x - -

when i try to alter permisions ,permision change was not sucsesful,please note that some files systems [eg sd cards] do not allow permision changes

When trying to d/l the icons.rar file message pops up saying the download was blocked by smartscreen filter. Just thought you might like to know that. The filter obviously sees this download as malicious.

Hm i don't know why.No viruses for sure.

Do these work on any I9000 gingerbread rom ie XXJW4? or are they just Galaxy S 2? and if they do work on SGS1 i allready have a theme installed (Boeffla Mod 3.0) so could i change his icons with yours or does it only apply to stock themes?

How do you change the horizontal lines (green) below the touchwiz icons in the quickpanel? Is it an image file or an xml that changes the green? I wanted to change those lines to blue to match the icons that I made (stock ICS styling) Thanks in advance!

[TUTORIAL][SOFTKEYS] Change Softkeys at GNex with ZipThemer and without (CM11)

The Problem at CM11 is that the SoftkeyZ app doesnt work.
This is baecause of the following problem:
The folder is normally /system/app (for SoftkeyZ),
but in cm11 it is /system/priv-app.
But it can be done manually by two Methods.
Not only for CM11
You need :
-Root Explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=de
First Method:
Now:
-Go to /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
-Extract to sd card
-Go to folder of the softkey you downloaded and put the .png files to :
/SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi
-Paste them and overwrite the old files.
-Zip the SystemUI folder with the new data.
-Go to SystemUI.zip and rename "SystemUI.zip" to "SystemUI.apk".
-Put the renamed SystemUI.apk to the /system/priv-app.
-Overwrite the old SystemUI.apk.
-Reboot manually ( the SystemUI.apk is mostly crashed at the first time doing this).
-After reboot set permissions of the SystemUI.apk to rw-r-r
Second Method: (Tested only at CM11)
ZipThemer is usable with this Method and you can make FLASHABLE ZIPS!
-Download the softkeys you want
- Extract them .
- Go to folder of the extracted
- There is one folder named "SystemUI" and a "nameofsoftkeys.xml"
- Open the .xml file with Text editor it look like this :
{
"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"
}
- Then change the line "<path>/system/app/</path>" to "<path>/system/priv-app/</path>"
- Save settings and go back. (delete the "nameofsoftkeys.xml.bak")
- Zip the folder where the SystemUI folder and the .xml file is included
- Go to Zipthemer (NOTE: Extras -> Update Edify -> browse for actually ROM -> Configure !! If not it may not work.)
- Go back to ZipThemer and search at "+Theme" for the new Zip
- Build it. And then go to Recovery and flash the zip. If this doesn't work then flash the undo.zip to reactivate the old softkeys.
Done
Screenshots can be posted here. :good:

Manage To Themed SystemUI.apk and Change Touchwiz ICON [MOD][THEMED][GALAXY FAME]

This post is all about how i managed to themed my STOCK JB SystemUI.apk and changed my TouchWiz ICON. on my Galaxy Fame GT-S6812 [STOCK][JB][ROM]
I like customizing my phone and i almost tried every Launcher available on Android Market, Launcher is a Good way of changing the look of your device but launcher's do eat lots of RAM and being a Low end Device owner i know how much "LOW RAM" issue bothers me. So i decided to customize my default TouchWiz Launcher "ICON" and the status bar without compromising precious RAM. After achieving my Goal i thought of sharing my experience with other "GALAXY FAME" user too and this is only reason behind this post
SO lets Get Started
Requirement:
1) Rooted Device
2) Make a Nandroid Backup before trying to play with system file
3) Deodexed ROM or Deodexed SystemUI.apk (If you dont have both than download my [MOD] SystemUI.apk from the attachment )
4) Wiziconizer.apk (Cool app to change default ICON to Custom ICON)
5) RomTool Box .apk (Premium)
6) Root Explorer or ESFile Explorer with root access even you can use root browser from RomTool Box app
General Information :
NOTE: Before proceeding i recommend you all to take a look on following post as this post explain the procedure of DEODEX-ing you ROM
Deodex Stock Rom
OR​IF you dont want any hassle you can simply download my MODED systemui.apk file from attachment.
Step:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Theme StatusBar<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
1) Make a backup of SystemUI.apk & SystemUI.odex file on to you SDCARD from /system/app folder
2) Rename SystemUI.apk (default one) to SystemUI.apk.bak and delete SystemUI.odex after doing this you may Get an error message that
Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped working (Dont panic be patient and do the 2nd step)
3) Copy MOD SystemUI.apk to /system/app folder {if yor are using my MOD SytemUI than you can see the change after you reboot your device or if you are using stock deodex SystemUI.apk than do step 4 to customize you statusbar }
4) Open RomTool Box and navigate to Interface Tab and select Statubar Icons
5) Choose any desire theme and apply to theme status bar

4)Long press on it and select apply
5) If prompt For Root Access than Grant Permission
6) Reboot
