Hi guys, I want to know how to put the nav bar with the Google Pixel icons because i like it more than the stock.
Thanks!
Substratum is the only way to do this right now.
Substratum does not apply themes for the navbar as far as I can tell. Anyone find a way around this?
It's definitely possible. This guide shows how to make a flashable zip file for any device.

Yes, but not using Substratum. Which, for most people, would be more within their grasp as the guide mentioned

Overground: can we get a sticky?
reserved for faq
Alrite just a couple questions about theming and customization.
I would like to apply your red sense theme.
-Do I have to use a rom or can I just apply it on my rooted phone?
-If I have to use a rom which do you suggest so I can still use the original internet app that came with the phone?
Thx for all your help!
Sent you a PM about this actually.
Whats the trick to enable transparency? Particularly the notification pull-down. I have already modified framework-res.apk to include the transparent images, however they are not displaying transparent when applied to the phone. I read a few things about hexing, and even found a 'transparency patcher' program from droid-forums. This patcher apparently, does the hex work for you on services.jar. However, it did not do the trick. What am I missing here?
I'm running my own fully deodexed custom rom based on the 2.2 sense leak.
I'm working on Transparency as well...I contacted Xeudoxus at droidforums...hopefully he can help.
I would just like to know how to manually change my icons and or folders on my home screen and in my app drawer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I too would like to find out how to change the "Folders" icon from the plain manila to obviously something else.

All root themes will usually only work for the rom they are made for. Sometimes there are big changes to the firmware, sometimes little... a good rule of thumb is to always make a nandroid backup if your an early adopter. So long story short:
1. yes
2. whatever rom i made the theme for... you can only use the original browser app with sense

Changing folder icons/app icons: you're gonna have to theme the rom you're using
basic ingredients in no particular order:
1. update.zip- just download one of themes and the update script in there (META-INF) or make your own if you feel like learning the syntax
2. resigning tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2
3. 7zip for extracting apks
4. Android SDK
5. Lots of time
Start extracting apks and viewing the contents of res/drawable-hdpi---where you'll find icons
Most icons are named ic_launcher_XXXX.png, some are named app_icon, others are just simply icon... you'll have to look around to find them as there is no easy way to change them. Once you find the icon you want to replace, drop your new icon (with exactly the same name) into the same directory (preferably using 7zip since you don't have to have the directory extracted to replace it) and resign the entire zip file... flash zip and win!
So how much time do you think I would need if I was to do this? Just kidding looks like a pain in the ass. However, doable. Thanks for the link to signing the zip. Thought it just might be a bit easier. Hopefully soon I can change the plain folders to a picture of my girlfriend or something.

Signal Bars
I have seemed to try everything to change the signal bar(s) colors. I have changed all of the icons to a red theme and the only way I can think thats left is that it has to be hex coded. Important fact is I am running skyraider 2.0.1. Has anyone had any luck changing these?
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 !

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
Is there anyway to change system font on Oreo? I have always used FontFix in the past but it doesn't work now. Thanks!

Found this in a search for the same, any updates on this?
In the past I have always just gone here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827 and flashed the zip of whatever font I wanted...this doesn't work on Oreo?

Possibly I will give it a shot. Honestly I haven't tried this way I just tried to use the font fix app.
How did it work out?
A very kind person here on XDA did something to the zip file of the font I wanted to flash on my pixel xl...he said:
"Pixels are /system/system when extracting system files, not /system"
So I'm not sure exactly what he changed in the zip but it worked
No idea. Maybe it has to do with where the font files for the device are located? Any devs have input on this? Id love to flash a zip to change my font.

Is there anyways that I make my navigation bar at the bottom almost transparent? An example of what I mean is how the nav bar appears when you open Snapchat, or when you swipe left to Google Now , The bar is transparent.I want it to be transparent in every app if possible.
I looked around for that too, but it doesn't seem to exist. If I understand that right, the nav-bar is already transparent in theory. Only that most apps don't make use of that. also the status bar and nav bar are inseperable.

I have managed to separate the two but I haven't been able to keep apps from coloring the transparent navbar. I can make it always translucent, or a color, but not transparent. At least as of yet. I keep trying when I get a chance
Here's what he wrote, when I asked him about that:

Hello,
Would it be possible to leave the translucent navbar in all the apps in a GSI rom? My device does not have many custom roms, so I use GSI.
Thank you.

Upload the files I requested and I will see what I can do.
Framework-res.apk is in the system/framework folder
SystemUI.apk is in system/priv-app/SystemUI folder
Hopefully your SystemUI.apk. is deodexed because I need access to the smali files.

I don't have your phone so I don't know exactly how to get this on your phone for you to try.
Here are a couple of different things to try but have a backup. These should create a backup in a folder on your sdcard called ozop. Flash in TWRP.
