Lockscreen rings? Anyone? I've been playing with editor and had little success.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
Yeah, +1. It would be wonderful to get custom lockscreen rings on the Flyer. Just one question though: What editor are you talking about, @Ryno_666?
I'm planning on it. I have a lock ring thread in the EVO 3D section. I just got the Wi-Fi only Flyer yesterday and I really haven't had much time to play with it. I just hope the apks that need to be edited are able to be decompiled with m10 tools.

I like your work on 3VO hope you can figure it out. I tried decompile and it borks the file.

Just an update in case anyone cares, I've finally been able to get into some of the apks to see what I can find and it looks like I'll be able to make some rings. The apks are not built the same as the ones I'm used to, so give me some time to play with them and see what I can do.
I'm playing with the stock Wi-Fi only from Best Buy ROM - 1.36.1540.32. I don't know whether or not it will end up working for other ROMs.

Have you been able to get the default shared.m10 file in fusion to compile? (After decoding the images) ..thats where the lockring is. An alternative would be to edit the lockring in the m10 files for the bluesky or burgondy htc skins (these are also in fusion.apk) and then switch to that htc skin to see the changes.

I've been able to get everything to compile properly, at least that's what it looks like, but anytime I move it to the device I'm left without a lockscreen (no images on the screen, just the wallpaper with no way to unlock). Even with simple 1 image edits not related to the lockscreen, just in the fusion.apk.
There are actually several places that the lock ring image is present, in several different sizes. It's hard to tell which is being used. I've found lock ring images in multiple m10 files within fusion.apk, Idlescreen_Base.apk, and Idlescreen_shortcut.apk.
A personal goal of mine with this is to remove the lockscreen shortcuts. I know how to get it done, but I just can't seem to get anything to take. I suppose this could mean that m10 tools is not yet compatible. I just don't understand why it looks as if the apks/m10 files are compiling properly if they're not.

I think the images in idlescreen base are only for when there's action on the lockscreen (music playing..), the main lockring is in the default m10 file in fusion (2 images, one for lock rest and one for unlock) the other rings you see in fusion are for the htc skins. After testing a while back I found that the only file that m10 editor has trouble with is the default m10 file. Lee said he was planning on taking a look at the editor and hopefully come up with a fix. But if not, Daimondback has been working on rebuilding m10tools for some time now and i mentioned this issue to him about a month ago.

This is unrelated, sort of, but I hate starting a new thread to ask a question.
Does anyone know if the Flyer is using the mdpi files or the hdpi files? I've been messing with UOT and choosing hdpi and everything I've been making is looking oversized or not being themed at all. Most of the apks I've looked in have mdpi files as well as hdpi. A few have only mdpi.

The flyer uses mdpi. You can try using a theme porter script that has hdpi to mdpi toggle (search for theme porter script).

I would try looking at the data.xml in the default m10 file in fusion before diving into the editor, its strange that it can decompile and decode the images without issues untill trying to compile/save..

When you modified how did you keep image? I still get partials but they stick I too am in fusion apk only.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
This is still a work in progress and I feel like it should be way easier but this is what I did. Also, I did not make any changes to the properties of the m10 files, this is only image editing so far...
1. Use apktool to decompile fusion.apk
2. Open M10Editor.exe and drag the m10 file you want to decompile to it (I started with the shared.10 in /Default/drawable)
3. The dialog box will say "M10 successfully loaded!" and there may be a Close button or a Cancel button underneath. Either way click the button to close the dialog box.
4. Go the the m10 Files tab and highlight the only file shown.
5. Check the Decode Images check box and click Decompile/Show button.
6. Once it decompiles and moves you to the Editor tab, close M10Editor.exe.
7. Look back in the /Default/drawable folder and there will be a new folder called "shared".
8. Go through the shared folder and make the edits you'd like. Don't change the dimensions of any of the files (eg. if its 289x288, leave it 289x288)
9. Once you're done use command prompt to compile. Make sure you cd to the m10 tools folder before attempting any commands. Here are the the commands I used...
Code:
m10encoder C:\Users\[I]my name[/I]\Desktop\fusion\assets\Default\drawable\shared C:\Users\[I]my name[/I]Destktop\fusion\assets\Default\drawable\shared.10
10. This will replace the shared.m10 file in /Default/drawable.
11. Delete the shared folder.
12. Use apktool to compile the apk. (I did the same stuff to the shared.10 in /Default/drawable_land before compiling. You should be able to do the same to the BlueSky and Burgundy folders.)
I used adb to push the fusion.apk to my phone. To remove the shortcuts I made the icon holder transparent while editing. Once the apk was on my Flyer, I downloaded an app I didn't care about and set each shortcut to that. Then I deleted the app. Shortcuts gone.
It doesn't look like Idlescreen_Base.apk needs to be edited but I could be wrong.
Did this to a T but would not replace the shared.m any ideas?

I can't say I know what the difference between my setup and yours is, but it seems your not the only one having the issue. I've been able to edit the fusion.apk this way, but not the Idlescreen_Base.apk. Still having trouble figuring out the trick as of right now.

Here are two icons I wipped up for my phone that I thought I would share.
This will change the drive icon and names in "My Computer".
These might not work in XP as they are 256x256 and PNG based .ico files.
If anyone wants these made for XP, send me a PM and Ill remake them for XP.

No problem, thanks for the addition. Feel free to use the PSD of my files if you want to edit yours to show the internal and SD based storage on your HDD icon.
PS I know Linux uses PNG files for their icons, so people can just use the png images in the OP. What does Mac us for its icons? Is it a proprietary format?
EDIT- Guess I should have downloaded your file before asking the above question. :ºp
So do you HAVE to make the PNGs in each size for it to work on a Mac? I thought it would scale the 256x256 icon to what ever size is needed.
BTW if you would not mind, it might be helpful to write up a little walk through on whats needed to get the icons to display properly on a Mac in case any one wants to try their own. I know Google is our friend, but I like making this place friendly too.

It really depends on how you're changing your icons, but it's usually a .icns file, but luckly OSX allows you to copy and paste icons from one file to another.
I'll update my icons with your internal/external icons as soon as I can. I've been busting my chops working on some MetaMorphs this evening. I'm finally done with those.
Very Cool, Thanks Man.
For some reason though, I can download all files but the internal zip.

One needs to embed all sizes into the .ico file to get good visibility at all sizes. The icon I have is thus, and looks good from 16x16 to 256x256.

Hello hello everyone. I recently picked up this Atrix and thought I would mess around with it a bit. I searched the forums here a couple of times and didn't see anything about the animated pull downs so thought I would whip one up for you to enjoy. If you haven't heard of this modification, it's it exactly how it sounds... When you slide down the notification / status bar screen the animation will start and will cycle through on repeat. Imagine it kind of like the looping part of the boot animation playing on the screen. I am not the creator of this modification. It was first presented here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/151983-animated-status-bar-pulldown-gb-roms.html So special thanks to Alastrionia!
Instructions for Windows users... (Linux users: You should be able to follow along, as the idea is the same in both)
Things you will need:
The knowledge that whatever you do with this information is YOUR responsibility and not mine, nor the creators / developers of the mod and / or rom.
Basics -
Working computer.
Time.
Patience.
Animation / Idea for making your own animation.
Computer Programs -
Java: http://www.java.com/en/download/chrome.jsp?locale=en
Apk Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
Command Prompt: Start Menu > Search/Run box > Type: CMD > Hit Enter
Text Editor (Suggested - Notepad++: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v5.9.3.html)*
Archive Managing program (ie WinZip, WinRar, 7zip) (Suggested - 7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html)*
Image Manipulation program - (whether it be Photoshop, Paint.Net, or GIMP we'll refer to it as PIMP for short from now on)
(Suggested - Dark Silent GIMP: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/PCApps/Dark_Gimp.rar)*
If wanting to make one with images from a video you will also need -
A Video (if you are wanting to use one from, say, www.youtube.com then you would copy/paste that web address to a site like www.savevid.com Hit Download, Run Java Applet and select size/quality)
Video Editor (Suggested - iWiSoft Free Video Converter: http://www.iwisoft.com/videoconverter/)*
Apks -
SystemUI.apk (rom.zip > system > app > SystemUI.apk)
framework-res.apk (rom.zip > system > framework > framework-res.apk)
moto-res.apk (rom.zip > system > framework > moto-res.apk)
blur-res.apk (rom.zip > system > framework > blur-res.apk)
Move apks to the "other" folder in the Apk Manager.
(Let's say my Apk Manager folder is on my Desktop and I have renamed it ApkManager.)
The path to move the apks to would be:
C:\Users\es0tericcha0s\Desktop\ApkManager\other
Change directories to the "other" folder which you moved the apks to. In Command Prompt:
cd C:\Users\es0tericcha0s\Desktop\ApkManager\other
Enter these 3 commands:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework.res.apk <Enter>
java -jar apktool.jar if moto-res.apk <Enter>
java -jar apktool.jar if blur-res.apk <Enter>
Place SystemUI.apk in the Apk Manager place-apk-here-for-modding folder.
Double Click the Script.
Choose 22.
Choose the number of SystemUI and hit Enter.
Choose 9 for Decompile.
Naviage to Apk Manager > projects > SystemUI > res > drawable hdpi > status_bar_background_animationX.png and open your PIMP.
Edit to your heart's delight.
Common Question:
How big does the image need to be? - The screen size is 540 px x 960 px. However, I didn't even think to check this as I am used to 480 x 854 from my last few phones, and it looks fine... Your results may vary.
What kind of animation should I do? - Only you can answer that! If you are having trouble of thinking of ideas, browse the forums and see if you can't find some ideas. Search www.youtube.com for a cool video. Play with some creating some logos. Only limitation is your imagination.
After editing images...
status_bar_background_animation
Navigate to Apk Manager > projects > SystemUI > res > drawable > status_bar_background_animation.xml and open with your Text Editor. Here you will be able to adjust for the amount of images you want and the speed of the image changes. You can just go from 1 - "X" number sequentially or you can have the images go 1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2 etc. depending on the style of animation or if you are trying to keep the image number down.
Save xml.
Common questions:
How many images can I have? - I'm not sure. The one I made has 31 and there have been no issues whatsoever. The original Droid would not like many on most roms, but the difference in power and speed of the two are vast, as I am sure you are aware of. With the amount of RAM / processing power, I'm sure you could easily have 50 or more.
What duration should I change the animation to? - Again, this really depends on what you are going for. How the animation looks, how many images you have, etc. I did not change mine for the default "200" Trial and error ftw!
After that... (it really does not matter what order you do these in, but this might help you the first time or two to have a set path)
Navigate to Apk Manager > projects > SystemUI > res > layout > status_bar_tracking.xml and open with Text Editor.
Find -
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
Change to -
android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background_animation"
Save xml.
{Now I wanted to try and keep both the transparent color and the animation but I could not figure out how to do a double attribute. If you know what that is, and have ideas on how to implement in this case, lemme know please.}
-What that means to the layperson is that I am not sure how to control the transparency quite yet.-
After you have edited your images and xml and saved all of them go back to the script for Apk Manager and choose 11 to compile. After it finishes it will ask you if it is a system apk (Y/N). "Y" + Enter. It will ask you if you want to keep blah blah blah (Y/N). "Y" + Enter.
Go to the "keep" folder in Apk Manager > keep and delete the "res" folder and the resources.arsc file (this is the lazy way ).
Go back to the Apk Manager script and hit Enter.
The apk will be completed and named unsignedSystemUI.apk and you will find it in the "place-here-for-modding" folder. Even though it says unsigned, it is signed and you will not need to do anything else to it beyond renaming it to SystemUI.apk. This new finished SystemUI.apk will be added to a flashable zip file in this format (open zip as archive to not break the signature):
flashable.zip > system > app > replace previous SystemUI.apk
Place this on your SD card and install via ClockworkMod Recovery. You will not need to wipe data or cache for this.
The example that I have made is themed for the Alien Rom (green version) built by developer kennethpenn and showcased here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537 - So the rest of the thanks go to him as I like the rom and it inspired me to make this in the first place.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/AlienPullDown.zip
It is the Alien text from his thread that each letter fades in 1 at a time after each other and then it glows and fades away, then repeats. Nothing crazy, just wanted something that went with the rom that would not be offensive to anyone. It's a good base to use since I have already have all of the fixes there that you could edit to your liking. If you would prefer the stock images vs. the green Alien theme from the rom, then find the SystemUI.apk of the rom you are using and open both the stock SystemUI and the flashable zip as archives and replace the images of all but the status_bar_background_animationX.pngs.
Sorry if this seems crazy difficult, but I just wanted to be thorough so even relatively new people can at least see how it is made. If you need help, hit me up on Talk with my screen name. Enjoy!

I could be persuaded... What color text do you want? Do you want it to just have the letters fade in and glow like the Alien text? Lemme know and I'll see what I can do.

I would love to have it GB green and fade in. I think that will go with more roms. Thanks

Excellent work! I got this working perfectly on my ATRIX. Built it myself following your instructions instead of copying and pasting, just to make sure I got it right. However, I tried porting to my captivate themes and it just sits at the first animation.png. Its a gb 2.3.4 rom that uses systemui.apk, the modded systemui.apk recompiled perfectly, I made the shade_bg.png transparent, as well as status_bar_background_.png just for good measure, but no animation. Pulled it down several times, all animations are on, tried rebooting, tried reflashing, and its not working. I literally did everything the exact same way on both devices, works on ATRIX but not cappy. Weird.... Anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Thanks! I tried to be super thorough to make it as painless as possible for you. I know it sucks to have to piece together everything through a bunch of threads (not a knock against the author of the other thread, as I was unaware when I first posted). As far as for the Captivate, my first thought is that if it is a TouchWiz based rom, then you will also need to make the same adjustment in the TWFramework (I think) in the /system/framework/TWFramework.apk That or whatever the main TouchWiz apk is in framework. I had a Fascinate for a brief period of time and it had something or other to do with that. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely look into it, but the twframework-res.apk was rendered almost obsolete and useless in the gb builds. Everything status bar related was moved to the sysui.apk. Having said that, it will of course turn out to be the problem. Thanks again, and ill report back.

One of my friend's pointed out a couple of other potential culprits could be image size and / or timing on the animations. Have to remember that the Atrix will be able to play larger animations much more smoothly than the Captivate could (not that it isn't a nice phone, but still single vs dual core...). Just in case the TouchWiz stuff doesn't pan out...

Yea, the TW stuff did not pan out. I tried tweaking the anim speed, to no avail. The one I'm using is only 9 frames and played perfectly on my atrix, so I'll try tweaking the image sizes. Thanks for the ideas. Its driving me nuts, lol. WORK, DAMN YOU, WORK!!
I tried making a 30+ frame animation back when I first starting messing with this and it caused SystemUI to FC so I think there is a limit, but I don't know what it is. Ive got 15 frames working fine.
9 images, sounds familiar.
The ALIEN animation is 31 images, and I haven't had any issues with that one. It's not large though since it is a semi transparent background and just text. If you want, I could take a look at what you are working on and see if I don't see something that might be tweaked?

Thanks guys, but I think I found the problem. Reviewing the stat bar tracking.xml code at work D) and there is some missing code that appears in the ATRIX sysui.apk and not in the cappy version. Ill be testing tonight and report back.

Hey there guys. Sorry, but I have already moved on to another phone, so can't really do much more to help with this one. The Atrix was meant to be my next phone, but shortly after purchasing my first GSM phone, I learned that that version of the phone is not completely compatible with the HSPA+ bands of T-Mo so I sold it to get a LG G2x. I wish you all luck with modding your phone and if you do have specific questions, I will be more than willing to try and provide assistance, but I will no longer have the time to make more stuff for the phone such as the "Android" pull down I was working before. Good luck and good night.
Finally got the time to hack some files to make 4x5 Sense rosie available on the Evo 4G LTE. This post is like most guides: assumes some knowledge of apktool, hex editing, and other programming "skills". Note that this post is designed for 720p displays so the numbers like the cell gaps might have to be modified if your phone is other than 720 x 1280 resolution, but the basics should still work. Also, as of this time, there are no M10 editing tools that work with Sense 4 so if some become available, obviously the best method of changing the M10 files will change (you won't have to use a hex editor). That said, the basics will still guide you through what you need to do in order to get 4x5 rosie working on your Sense 4 ROM.
First, let's edit the relevant m10 files
Once you've decompiled Rosie.apk from your ROM, we will edit these m10 files with a hex editor. We only need to change 3 bytes in one file and one byte in the second m10 file:
First, open \assets\Port\rosie_screen.m10 in your hex editor. I use XVI32. Search for "cell on Y" without the quotes. Note that you must use a unicode search (because there are zeroes between each character). Either that, or search for the hex string that is displayed in the window below instead. There should only be one occurrence. When you get there, we want to change the "4" that follows that and the "80" associated with the cell gap. We'll change the "4" to a "5" and the cell gap from "80" to "70". You can only reduce the cell gap slightly because many multi-cell widgets take up not only multiple rows, but also assume a certain size for the cell gap. Taking the value from 80 to 70 seems to be the best compromise for fitting all the icons (and text) and not overlapping 2-row widgets. Here's a screen shot showing the two values that got changed. When done editing, save the changes to the rosie_screen.m10 file.
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After you've edited \assets\Port\rosie_screen.m10 as above, go to \assets\Land\rosie_screen.m10 and do the edits as above but only do the first edit: changing the 4 to a 5. In landscape mode, there's already only a 10 pixel gap between cells and you really can't reduce it. Landscape rosie at 4x5 is a compromise at best, but it does work without changing the gap... although with a bit of unavoidable overlap.
m10 editing done, now let's edit the XML files
Open \res\values\integers.xml and we'll change the bottom line from a 4 to a 5. It should look like this after edited:
Code:
<integer name="config_folderCellCountY">5</integer>
Open \res\values-normal-port-xhdpi\integers.xml and changeone 4 to a 5. This is how the line look after edited:
Code:
<integer name="config_cellLayoutCellCountY">5</integer>
Open \res\values-normal-port-xhdpi\dimens.xml and change one 80 to a 26. This is how the two lines look after edited:
Code:
<dimen name="workspace_height_gap">26.0px</dimen>
Open \res\values-normal-land-xhdpi\integers.xml and change one 4 to 5 near the top. This is how the line looks after edited:
Code:
<integer name="config_cellLayoutCellCountY">5</integer>
Open \res\values-normal-land-xhdpi\dimens.xml and change one 155 to 122 near the top/middle. This is how the line looks after edited:
Code:
<dimen name="workspace_cell_height">122.0px</dimen>
That's it. Recompile with the modified m10 and xml files and you should have a working 4x5 rosie for Sense 4. Note that the "xhdpi" folder is what is used on 720p phones like the Evo 4G LTE and One X. If your phone uses quarter-HQ (QHD), the files you'll want to edit will be the same XML files but in a different folder (like hdpi instead of xhdpi).

@mikeyxda -
Now that m10 tools is out and working via VTS, this method is no longer needed. I just modded rosie for superLTE ROM base and it worked better and easier than this.
Essentially the "correct" way to do this now would be the way that jeffsanace originally discoved on the evo3D with some tweaking.
In rosie screen m10 you change the Y cells to 5, you had the spacing at 70 which is not correct, he and I discovered today that it is 100 for the LTE (after some testing)
Also the only edits needed in values are in integers near the bottom, change cell folder Y from 4 to 5, and then in values-normal-port-xhdpi near the top do the same thing. nothing at all in dimensions or other folders.
that's it, easy peasy, spacing is correct and all that jazz.
If you want the apk feel free to pull that from our svn, otherwise our write a more professional tutorial later on, thanks for breaking ground, hope you enjoy the new method and no spacing issues

lol, I just did. jk,
First go get VTS (virtuous ten studio) then hit me up on gtalk (or PM me your gtalk) and I'll walk you thru it. I might put up a tut, jeff might put up a tut, since really this is HIS mod. But not all right away and stuff, we be busy
I'm starting this thread as a place for themers to exchange tricks they've learned, also to exchange information. The intent is not to become a "how to decompile ICS" thread.. they are all over if you just search. I'll start it off as an example:
For doing mass .9.png edit ssuch as replacing a color, I found the easy way is a comination of Adobe bridge with Photoshop
For example:
say i want to change all red elements into blue
open your first image in photoshop
create a action with the commands(just a example) Adjust to RGB -> select color range 'reds' -> adjust hue (set to your version of blue you want)->save->close ... say i name action "change"
now in bridge nav to folder where the images are you want to change in the same manner
select all the images you want to run the action on
tools>photoshop>batch
select the "change action" and volla....
another way ive used this is by replacing "select color range'reds'" and again select color range>sample the black edge, so the black border is selected.. followed by select inverse .. this will then select all but the border and adjust hue of the whole image w/o messing the the border
Tip: if youre trying to rotate multiple images and are using Windows 7, Ctrl+A to hightlight them all and right click to choose "Rotate Clockwise" or Counterclockwise.
Tip: If your not liking how a .9.png is stretching a image.. look in your sdk tools, there should be one called draw9patch... It's a java app to edit a .9.pngs stretching...(I just recently discovered this)
Up until finding this, I would push images I want to stretch uniformly via zip 7 after compiling..obviously poor practice to do any work later on

Thanks, the theme I'm wanting to do involves some beveled edges on the various status bars and such. Stretching along the vertical edge would be fine but trying to pull the whole image would distort the top and bottom bevels. I'll have to look into this because I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to do what I wanted to do without the ability to control this.
Now I gotta experiment with whether a .9 image can exist where there wasn't one in the original build.

don't quote me in this, but I'm pretty sure it's fine to replace .png with a .9.png.....9.pngs are used as a answer to different screen resolutions to prevent distorted images

Just download the rom you want to theme on your pc and open with 7zip, most files are in system/framework and system/app, No pulling files from phone needed.
To push them back just download any random theme .zip and replace the files with your themed files

tip I have here, I'd to take a peak at the script for the zip...I've seen some peoples scripts include deleting the original apk from the phone before pushing new..if that's the case, you could end up deleting something your not replacing with this method

Here is a blank zip you can use to flash your theme, just make sure you put the right apks in the right folders i.e SystemUI,apk goes in system/app/ and framework-res.apk goes in system/framework.

Due to requests, I am posting icons I made (originally for my LG Nitro) for the GS4. These are completely original icons I literally drew in power point, saved as pngs, and then resized/cropped to icons. The good thing about the icons is that they're very minimalist (just my style), so they actually weren't too hard to make, all things considered.
These cover the icons which are positioned on the right side of the notification bar. These will not change icons on the left side of the bar.
Just to give you an idea, here is a clip of my notification bar:

A FEW NOTES:
1.) The signal icons will not work if you have done the build.prop edit to change to stock jelly bean icons. This edit changes the identity of your phone, and redirects SystemUI.apk to use alternate icons. If you have used this edit and want to use the signal icons, you will have to change the names of the files appropriately.
2.) The battery icons are only for those who have incorporated the % battery mod either from StolenVW here or by another method.
3.) The signal icons will look odd if you choose to use them and don't also incorporate the attached modified xml. Essentially, this xml has been edited such that the signal type/in-out icon overlaps with the signal strength icons as such:
I did this mainly because I hate wasted space, and think it's unnecessary to have two icon slots just for signal when at one point they used to overlap in stock android. To adopt this xml edit, just use 7zip to right click/"open archive" SystemUI.apk, and drag and drop the xml into res/layout. It is already compiled, so should work fine. Obviously, before putting SystemUI.apk back onto your phone, you'll need to set proper permissions and whatnot. If you don't know how, please turn back or ask someone (or me) first before ruining your fabulous new phone (although recovery with Odin posted by AdamOutler here works fantastically well, just fyi).
SO, take a look at the icons, take whatever you want., edit whatever you want, use however you like! They are organized into the folders of the apks where they belong, so you can use them as a guide for where to put them if you want to adopt the look. These apks include:
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
NfcNci.apk
The attached xml for clustering the signal type/in-out/strength belongs in SystemUI.apk/res/layout. It is compiled, so you should be able to use 7zip to right click on your SystemUI.apk, "open archive," and just drag and drop it into your SystemUI.apk.
Hope you find something you like!
Beautiful set of icons mate, it would be a good idea to set a whole UI based on your style ala vrtheme.
This truly is, I just need to find a thin clock font mod to match it!

While these aren't my style and I'm far from a minimalist - I'm not going to show you my home screens for fear you may damage your monitor by throwing something at it - but I can definitely appreciate all the hard work you've put into this! Excellent job with this, and for everyone else, make sure you give this user a thanks even if you don't use these icons just because of how awesome they are!
Please make this into a systemui.apk. im sure a lot of people on this forum would really appreciate it. Thank you!!!

Really beautiful design. If you could compile into a flashable theme that would be awesome.

They do look great, it would look even better with matching quick toggles...you dont happen to have more matching pngs do you?

Wow, thanks guys! I would love to make it flashable, but I have no idea how. In addition, I wouldn't mind posting a SystemUI.apk, but at this point, everyone seems to have additional mods, so I wouldn't be able to include them without wiping their other mods out as well.
As far as quick setting icons, I didn't make additional ones to match, but I did make the whole pulldown menu minimalist white/black, just because:

I will post a vrtheme zip file with your icons as soon as I have time, ni batt icons though, since that would require modding of systemui.apk therefirr making it incompatoble across devices/roms. Vrtheme will only replace pngs.
VrTheme Stencil
This one should work ok on all S4 variants.
It includes all stencil icons except the battery percentaje ones (again, those xmls mods have to be compiled along the apk in order for them to work reading the pngs). The rest of pngs are there including your xml file (which should apply properly by just flashing this mod)
Since its a vrtheme flashable zip file, it should be compatible with all i950x TW ROMs, it shouldnt modify any mods existing in your current systemui (except for the notifications, obviously)
Enjoy!
Love the icons. Great job. Any chance you have or could make one for the USB connected and Location/GPS icons? And the driving icon as well?
Thanks again for sharing.

Out of curiosity, did the above zip file work for you and what i950x kodel do you own?

I didn't use the zip file above. I just downloaded the icons from the first post and copief them to my systemui.apk file. Btw, i have an AT&T i337 model.

Ok, I was just wondering....
Love the simplicity of these. Well done.
is there anyway we could get a flashable systemui.apk for l337 ATT models? I absolutely love these but Im having trouble figuring out how to apply them.
Thanks for your design. They are beautiful!
I thought someone might be interested to see what my screen looks like with these icons. I had a transparent status bar set up prior, but I went back to black. Oh, and I like to have my buttons down the right side of the phone as I'm right handed. I don't know whomever thought having a dock at the bottom of the screen as default made much sense. It makes calling and doing quick email checks much easier to have it on the right or left depending on your style.
These really are beautiful icons.
Yeah, one last time. I do actually live in Morehead.
They look great on your homescreen! So glad you like them!
As I said, in regards to making a flashable SystemUI.apk, I don't know how, but anyone who does is welcome to do whatever he or she wants with these icons!
It would be amazing to make a CM 10 theme for it! I may take a crack at making one for these icons

I asked for them to be added as an option in nottach's xposed app and he said he would put it in the next release. Now we just need matching toggles and this will be epic.
