Hey guys,
would somebody be kind enough to tell me how to change the 5 buttons in the pulldown bar please?
I changed them in my UOT theme, but still the original ones keep showing.
Thnx a lot.
Cheers

The only thing I know is yo modify your SystemUI.apk with apk manager . I don't know the exact steps .

Yup, you'll have to find and replace the image files. Contact Seilent or search for the tutorial in section "Android Themes"
OK thnx you guys. Gonna do some more searching.
You have to do this manually. Open your systemui.apk with winrar. Open drawable-mdpi and you will find your current pulldown menu buttons. Just replace these files with what you like and also make sure that file names match.
Hey SGAce, i perfectly didnt understand your question. Do you just want to change the icons pngs or do you want to change their functions itself? Changing icons png has been expained before by other users but if you want to change functions of these, its a tedious job with editing xmls and resources and etc. It is a lot better to wait for the nightlies of CM7 lol
THNX y'all,
i did it, i managed to change the button png's. Afterall it was a STUPID and unnesessary question, coz i did this with a few other apk's before
Sorry, this thread can be closed.
Cheers.
just use 7-zip

ok let me try this again...
Go to market
Download mm, ninjamorph, silver edit, and astro.. While here pick up a random icon pack... (your first morph)
Open silver edit..pick new xml.. Here is a template. Replace the dashes - with less than/greater than < .. They won't show on xda

Open ninja morph, choose the apk you want to modify.. The images you want to change are in res folder in the drawable dir.. choose the icon and replace it with one out of the icon pack..
Open astro.. Go to android themes.. Make new directory, Theme_Name.. Open the workspace folder..this is where the changed apk is... Copy res folder.. Paste it inside Theme_Name.. Delete everything but drawable... Open the silver edit folder in astro and copy Theme_Name.xml and paste it with your new res folder... You just made a morph on your phone...
Open meta morph..start checks and chose existing... Click Theme_Name and Theme_Name.xml, apply all...
Your original images from your apk are in backup inside android themes...
Thanks stericson for 2 great apps
I used this method today to build a metamorph theme... I used dropbox, a free app from the market to upload it for the community... I dont even need a comp anymore...

Haven't got to try this yet but I've noticed your always willing to teach ppl how to theme so I just wanted to say thank you. This community is lucky to have you around.
Hey. Just wanted to know if its possible to use created icons from scratch in place of the original icons. But the original icons will always be in that folder right.?
And is there an alternative way instead of metamorph.Thanks.

Nevermind. I was able to edit and modify the icons through ninja morph. I changed the wireless and cell signal bars so far ill post a screen shot if interested.

Well I haven't really had the ability to do lately... and those that can't do, teach.. I was lucky to get in on the bottom floor and learn before xda got cluttered with a bunch of ppl that just take... I figure this is my way to give back to the real devs that put out quality work but can't make their roms perfect for everybody... so that anybody can make the small edits to make their phone perfect for them...

how can i change and costumize my task/notification bar on my legend?
with this http://circle.glx.nl/ i cant do it. its only working with desire roms.
but i can change battery icon.
thx for ur help
Simply replace it in your framework-res.apk (use 7zip) it's located in the res/drawable-mdpi folder if I'm not mistaken.
If it's a .9.png file you won't be able to simply replace it. (there are tutorials on how to change them here on xda)
wow nice, thx for this!!
but i want to change transparency, add quick toggle buttons, add a text when i pull down the bar and so on.....
how can i do that? in the link above, theres a nice kitchen for that, but it only works on desire roms
i tried it, it works for legend too

It's working fine, only the notification part isn't support for our Legend.
The icons and animations are working.
With CM7 only the battery indication can be modified because the rest of the icons are in SystemUI.apk instead of framework-res.apk.
lol i know that.
but i want to change the notification area, no icons or other stuff

Hello, i´ve got also an related question.
I want to change the color of the notification bar.
So i copied the new "statusbar_background.png" in the framework-res.apk. And then the .apk back via root explorer in /system/framework.
If i look in the .apk my customized statusbar is also there, but after rebooting the phone it hasn´t changed.. the old statusbar look is also there.
I´m on B0.7 with data2ext.
Thanks for replies, picz

First open your apk by 7-zip,winrar or whatever dicomplie apk.then go to res folder and look for the icon of this app in drawable-hdpi, drawable-ldpi, drawable-mdpi folders and replace the original icon by new icon then replace the modified apk with original apk in system folder.

More easier way
Use xplore me
Open ur desired apk as zip open res/drawable-ldpi and replace icon.png with your desired .png image
Keep resolution same as in apk
In some apps icon.png are in drawable-hdpi you hav to check that
After replacing use zip signer to sign apk and your good to go
And no need of computer

I'm trying to replace system icons for phone gmail sms and browser. i used APK Manager to replace the png exaclty the same size but after pushing files to system it still shows the old icon but when i see apk on Root Explorer it shows the new one next to it. Please can somebody give some advise.
Are you trying to replace them in the App Drawer or just on the screen?

I'm asking this because I would like to replace the exDialer icon (green one) with the default JB telephone one (blue receiver).. but I don't know where I can locate the JB telephone app icon..
I think you may have had the right image, but I believe you may have to decompile then recompile the app properly to do change that. Google should produce results for a guide to do this as I have seen one recently

Which one do you want? If I have it I will drop box it for you
To replace images you don't have to decompile just drop them in /res/*whichever folder it goes in* with a store compression value.
Only when you need to edit XML's do you need to decompile and recompile.

mate.. you are epic!!
that's wonderful.. at last.. thanks so much! :good::good::highfive::victory:
You dont need to decompile to change .pngs...just open the .apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace what you want to
the other drawable folders arent used in the S3 - they are overwritten by the xhdpi folder
Edit, couldnt type it fast enough...!!
And that should be dropped in appname.apk/res/mipmap-xhdpi or hdpi or mdpi whichever one is for your dpi.
