I edited these a while ago for eclipse .7 and had the same problem at first, although I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it. It's definitely something to do with the .9.pngs. I would like to know if somebody else did this with success.. I don't really feel up to trying it out right now lol. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
If u drag and drop them it should work.. remember nitro made this rom with a lot of aosp apps .. if zzmotojog tab didn't exist in his frame work on this version.. then that's what it will do.. yes these r.9 pngs ... all that means is the images are stretchable... if they aren't moving... and u want them u will probably need to use a tool called draw 9 patch to add the one pixel boarder that surrounds a .9 pngs to show it will look normal.. this is fairly advanced stuff.. if I had time id look into this and fix it for u but I've been working on a bunch of stuff
. But that's my 2 cents

thanks. my problem was that i was editing the .png.
Ya you should be able to just drag and drop them in, there the exact ones from Overminds ICS eclipse theme, i just changed the centers, the .9s should be fine they were recompiled properly and everything worked smooth on my phone. What i did though was flash them with my modified framework-res.apk in my little personal them so maybe you have to flash them using your current frmework-res.apk just grab a theme from UOT upload your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk but don't make any theme changes but at the end select amend scripting them upload your files and it will give you a zipped flashable theme that you can the open up framework-res.apk with zip and drop the files in there and flash it.

Well I was going to do it in my es file explorer. So what and where exactly do I drop them? If I do it with 7zip do I have the apk open with it or just drop the images on the zip? What do I drag and drop the folder in the zip or the files inside that folder?
Edit: I right clicked on my uot zip and opened my uot zip with "open archive" and it wont let me drag and drop them into my framework apk...
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
if you right click framework-res.apk inside the framework folder then drop them in there. It will replace the existing ones and exit out of 7zip it will ask you that you made changes to framework-res.apk then flash and you should be good.
Tried it a couple different ways and nothing. Right clicked and opened framwork res apk and pit them in and didn't work. Re did it with them in the res folder with the original slider images and still nothing.

U r doing it the right way but u have to click the framework folder then click framework res... then drawable hdpi with eclipse it will say drawable hdpi v4.. once u get that open it will allow u to do it then it will tell u zip is modified just say yes.. put zip on sd card flash in recovery and u will have it.. if u follow these instructions it will work defenitely
So sorry about not answering your question b4... it def does matter where u drop them
U have to close the zip after u move the images also then accept the changes

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I don't think these will work with liberty? Liberty uses a custom lock screen with different names im not sure exactly what those are i have never used liberty. It should be fairly easy to find the names of what liberty is using and just rename them to fit liberty. I should have written better directions but i was in a hurry and just kinda threw them up.
Yes they need to be in this folder...Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi(v4) for eclipse
Just checked out the framework and these images do not exist nor do I see any pngs that it could be renamed too.. I think the lockscreens are all in the jog tab section of the framework and and there are quite a few to choose from.. sorry to tell u but I don't think this is possible to implement on liberty until the developers make it as an optional lockscreen choice

I appreciate the mention man and thanks again for morphing this for us and thanks to the guy who made this slick theme as well!
Hopefully he will skin the 3g/e, mail and the other stock icons not yet skinned in the next update.
@talltexan no, best bet is to make a nandroid backup.
No there is not a stock... Im not gonna take the time to make a revert for every morph I make... just do a nandroid,
Or download NinjaMorph from the market
Pick new Projects for
system/app/settings.apk
system/framework/framework-res.apk
system/framework/twframework-res.apk
each of these get saved in a workspace folderand is an extracted form of the apk... to revert to stock just finish existing project and choose the desired apk to untheme....

Great mod, I love it.
i like the cyan added to the statusbar, but i wanted to change the bootanimation back to the eye, but when i copied the zip to the system/media folder and rebooted it was still the same animation. did the location of the bootanimation change in 0.7?
I did boot animation from uot. Kitchen.. im not sure where it is exactly located on the rom
Also if all goes well tonight I will probably be making a red theme tonite similar to this and also redoing the cyan with proper hex code.. hopefully it goes good

I started with naven and dragon's 2.3.3 toggles. I unzipped the zip file. then renamed SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.zip then unzipped that too. In the res/drawable-hdpi there are two pngs that I change the color on. They are quickpanel_struct_ing.9 and quickpanel_struct_on.9 The images are just small green squares. I used gimp to change them to cyan. Those are the images that need to be changed to fix your colors under the toggle buttons. There is a third image in there for the off status color. It was gray and that's what I wanted so I left that image alone.
In gimp I opened up another png that had the color I wanted on it and used the color picker tool to grab that color. Then used the fill tool to put the cyan over the green.
So after I changed those images I grabbed a fresh copy of the original zip and used 7zip to insert my modified pngs into the SystemUI.apk.
And that's how I did it.
I am running CM9 Alpha 3 and I have always wanted soft keys on my X2 because I just do not like the hard buttons. I found the thread about how to enable them on ICS Roms and it is fairly simple to do. I contacted DK on twitter to see if he may add them in a later update and he said he was not going to add them. I tried to do it last night and I just could not get APKTool to re-compile the Framework-res.apk.
Could someone who is able to re-compile an .apk possibly try this for me, it is only 2 edits to a couple of .xml files inside of the Framework-res.apk and adding 4 .png files to the SystemUI.apk. I only need the Framework-res.apk as I have already added the .png's to my SystemUI.apk. Here is the link to the mod and thank you to whoever will do it for me.

I heard if you used 7-Zip, you can take files out and put them in without extracting and messing with the APKs signature. Maybe you can just use it to take out the XML file and edit it and put it back in with the images too. Then replace the file on your phone.

Ah. Well Id help if I knew how to decompile and recompile. But I dont. Sorry man.
Not being a DB,but I guess I'm confused. You wont be able to use the soft key area but for only that. At least with the Button Savior app, you can tap it and it disappears. You don't loose any screen space. Then again, it doesn't look as cool as the soft keys......

Your not being a DB. Button Savior would always be in the way whereas the soft keys would stay out of the way with only taken up about 37 px ( about the size of the status bar ). I just think with the size of our screens that it would benefit the experience.

So i was messing around with this and got the apk and zip signed. But when I flashed the zip it bootlooped. It went through one cycle like it would start up, flashed the lock screen, then went back to boot screen. When it flashed the screen it looked like there was a place where the soft keys should be that was just black and the rest of the screen had not been resized to fit it the keys were in place. I have a video uploading if anybody wants to see what happened(I'll add it when it's finished).
I should add, I'm not too concerned with having these, I just thought it would be an interesting project to try out. Seems like there are at least a few people that would use this.

Also, once you have a base theme, I use 7zip because it can open apks as zips without unzipping them or renmaing them, i just drop the images in, close them and presto, no decompiling necessary. There are a couple roms that the camera and the rosie choked on this process and i had to use apktool to unzip and rezip but for the most part i don't even use it anymore.

Thanks, I've used 7zip frequently in my other endeavours. Some of the .dats we dealt with grew to over a gig pretty quick. We could decompress images just fine but compressing them was buggy.

And my current wallpaper. The metallized look is what I'm going for in my theme. Drawn in Xara and finished in PS.

If you want to change any xml's for text colors you would need to decompile with apktool. Probably already using it but notepad++ and html color plugin are great tools for this.
Depends on the level of theming...if your going to really change things, zip7 won't work to well, need to use apktool to properly decompile/compile the apk, if you screw up a .9.PNG, it will produce mass errors.. for this the trick I use is select the staggered black lines on the edge the the image, then invert the selection (control I, in Photoshop) then only work the selected portion. The hardest part I found when learning was creating and using your own signature... I use javas jarsigner..

Exactly although I haven't had to use apktool in a while mainly because it seems broken since ICS. What I've been using is Android Utility but like I say it only works in Linux and OSX, which is fine for me..

I use a combination of 7zip, apktool 1.4.9, gimp, photoshop cs2, imageready cs2, and notepad++. In theory if you only want to change a few icons & .9's and not go too in depth, 7zip, Virtualbox+Ubuntu+Android utility, Gimp, along with D.O.C's VillainRom scripts.

It's not really broken..you need to compile and decompile with 2 different versions...I'm at wakins glen right now for NASCAR this weekend, no computer to look what I use...

Alright, trying to get a grasp of what is where and how these things are assembled. Say for instance, I've got Nils Business Sense ROM installed and I love the RedZound theme for it. After installing the theme, I decide I prefer just the stock white icon status bar that originally came with Nils ROM. Of course, I have a nandroid backup from just prior to install. I can see the apks for the icons so I'm guessing the status bar is handled in one of the larger ones. To make this change, one would have to open that and either change the file names or delete the images and change the corresponding build file to reflect those changes?

open nils rom zip with 7zip. go to system/apps/ and pull SystemUI.apk into a folder. Go into the themes zip and grab the SystemUI.apk and put it into a separate folder. I take the /res folder out of each SystemUI.apk and put it into the respective folder. Go into res/drawable-xhdpi and select the icons you want from the stock rom's SystemUI and put them into the themed SystemUI res/drawable-xhdpi folder. Open the themes SystemUI.apk in 7zip, delete the res folder and drag the themed res folder into the apk. Put the new SystemUI.apk back into the themes zip system/apps/ folder and then you are good to flash.
btw.... good taste in themes
Do u make custom roms with your own special touch or make slim roms
Basically i port some roms to Xperia Range
and always like the uploads to be under 100 meg
this means some things must go .boot animation first
so then you are left with Google android logo animation

HOW 2
yes i know there is apps on market for this ---but that would be to easy lol
but here is the basics
unzip your framework-res.apk
u now will see a folder called assets
inside there u have images folder
in there is your 2 pngs to replace
there named
android-logo-shine.png this is your background png
android-logo-mask.png this is your front png
You want to remake them how u like or try the ones i posted
HERE
View attachment assets-images.zip zipped up in case upload brakes em
here is some i saved in early progress
now zip back up your framework-res but it will now be framework-res.zip push this to phone and rename .apk,
give correct permissions
RW
R
R
baring in mind when editing !
that shine png moves from left to right
and that mask does not move
this is totally useless to most people as they prob never change boot-animation
i hope some of yous see the potential in it
i think rom cookers n porters n slim rom makers is where im directing this not at general users
but hey they might like it to i have seen some great artists here
info
find out your screen size for your parameters
for this i was used a Xperia Neo
so screen size was 5oo wide 900 tall ruffly
this will work on any rom stock or custom
have fun please only try if understood
Please no thanks save them for your favorite dev :thumbup:
don't forget to delete or remove bootanimation.zip from media folder lol forgot about that
peace
chris

very useful tutorial bro...one thing i wanna ask...i often modify pngs in drawable hdpi folder and then repack it as zip and then rename it as .apk.
it works perfect when given correct permissions...but is the new repacked apk zipaligned? do they need to be zipaligned? bcoz i do all modifications and packing- repacking on root explorer.
Thanks a lot.
