Is there anyone that can port UX icons to our J5?
Is it even possible to do this, to create some sort of flashable that will install UX icons?
Do i need to disable signature check for this?

It is possible, but you have to decompile SystemUI / framework-res.apk / Launcher to play with the icons. I don't think you need to disable signature verification.
But why to go in such a trouble when you can find such icons in Play Store?

Can someone tell me how to add custom icons for apps in my rom? There are many apps I'm gonna leave out but want to have the icons I make used if that app is installed. The only way I know is to manually change the icon in the drawable-hdpi in each app. This would be essential for two reasons. First, it would automatically use my custom icon. Secondly, it would make updating my rom so much easier without having to manually edit the icons every time the rom gets updated. I tried looking at some theme.apks for theme chooser but didn't quite see what I needed to accomplish my aim. I've used apktool and looked at some of the xml files as well to try and get a feel of what I need to do in order to accomplish my theme. So as the title states, HELP PLEASE!!!
Try using Ninja Morph. I recommended it to a lot of people. I made a how to a while ago for changing the signal bars. It is essentially the same process if you know where the icon is you want to change. Let me know if you need help.
*It's IncREDible*
That's not really what I'm needing. I'm fine tuning our grp rom and need something that will work like theme chooser apps but for all my icons and theme. This rom is a public distribution and will need to be up dated regularly. Ninja morph is for individual customization. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Check out desktop visualizer from the market. You can set the icon that shown on the home screens. This is the easiest way I know without changing the image file in the apk.
If you leave an app out, I don't think there is a way to have your icon used.

So, according to my description in the op, this app from market will allow me to add all my custom apps to my rom and then everyone can use the rom with my cutom images/icons?
I believe you can create an icon pack and use desktop visualizer to implement them. The user would have to apply these after d/l and installing your rom. You may check out the EVO forums. Riptide made a glass theme and he may be able to give you better insight.
ok, thanks. I mainly want to them my rom and make my rom available for others. I don't really want an add-on that the user will have to implement themselves.
Use 7zip to change your icons. If you change the icons with the app out of the Rom zip, you will have to resign it. If you Chang it while It's still in the Rom zip, no signing needed.

I wanted to include them in the Rom flash. I wanted to include extra ones for apps such as facebook, tweeter, angry birds, etc so that if the user installs those apps my custom icons will be pulled from the drawable rather than the default app icon in the app drawable. Thanks stoney for the tip to avoid resigning.

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

thank you for the reply, I have tried the android Simplistic control app and still the same when I try to change its still the same blue circle battery icon that came with the Omega rom, I did notice something strange, when it comes to a certain percentage it would show the custom icon I installed then disappear after that. Any idea what the problem is??

You could always edit the battery icons yourself. Just paste the wanted battery icons into SystemUI.apk where the battery icons are supposed to be and push it into /system/app with the correct permissions and voila you're done.
Doing this quite often when there are themes I want to apply but they don't come in CWM flashable zip for the rom I'm using

Its not only about installing the SF app, you'll have to flash its content as well that is when you make changes on the control app it will reflect.

Just copy the systemui API from your system/app folder to your sdcard and open it using 7zip or similar program on your PC. Locate the icon files within the app, most likely under res/drawable/hdpi or xhdpi and copy the icon you want straight into the apk and overwrite. No need to extract the apk. Note this only works when replacing images. If you want 1% battery, you'll have to edit some xmls as well (dunno which one though).
And just copy the apk back to where you found it and give it the correct permission (644) and reboot.

Hi guys, I'm looking for the status bar pattern in the SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk in order to change it into a full transparent white through ZipThemer (and finally have a transparent status bar in 4.2.2 stock :victory
But there's so many png in those files that I don't know which one I should use
Can you guys help me ?
Many thanks !
PS : Here are my files if you want to check quickly : https://www.box.com/s/4ij73xgwutyin6bmmkih

Next time, try Google search if you aren't comfortable with xda search.
Literally the first link when I searched for "status bar png systemUI.apk"
Please read the entire thread before you do anything. The instructions in the OP are flawed.

With the new roms this is not an option as it is no longer a png file file a combo of color codes thoughout the systemui and framework res. It took me 3 months to find all the changes to redirect it to a png

I'm not sure I understand your post. You mean I have to change .xml files to apply a transparent status bar ? That is not a problem with ZipThemer, right ?

What I mean depending on your rom is that you will have to adjust the color codes. Your issues is that the main place one of these changes needs to be made are in a place tat cant be adjusted with zip themer.

You would have to decompile the both Framework-res apk and the systemui.apk and make about 15 xml edits to redirect it to an image and then remove a few places. Then recompile the apks and then flash them. This would have to be done for each rom you flash.
What are you trying to do over all?

4.2.2 stock with some mods (beats louder, a custom battery in status bar, a new locking...)
I agree that I have no idea why CM doesn't add this in their most recent ROM's, making the statusbar transparent is such an improvement to the UI immediately
