You have to open a copy of your framework-res and change out the icons you want ( make sure their the correct size and name)then close it back up and either push the apk or make a flashable zip to install it or you can go to uot kitchen and pick from the icons they have( for that you need a copy of your systemui.apk,framework-res.apk and com.HTC.resource.apk)
now the voices are customized in 3d
Thanks for your help... But can you provide me with a link please? I need to read about it lol

battery (on sense 3.0+ roms) is in framework-res.apk
all the other icons are in SystemUi.apk
you can edit them with gimp photo editor
you can use 7zip to extract them out to edit, and 7zip to put them back into your apks.
Go to the theme intro link in my sig and read about it, feel free to ask questions too.
there are tons of ways, the simplest by far is the Universal Online Theme Kitchen, UNLESS you are aiming to simply use someone elses theme.

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

-description-Morphs the ...-/description-
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...

Well those guides are for apk theming. A keyboard is still an apk even though it may seem more simplistic. Trust me, they still apply
The basic idea is you're going to
1. open it up by unzipping or decompiling
2. edit the .pngs in the drawable-hdpi, drawable, or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders (there's other options too, but most everything you'll want will be in the drawable-hdpi)
3. close it back up by zipping or compiling.
Outside of that, you may need to edit xmls to change things like text color or background. This isn't always the case, it just depends on the apk.
Thanks makes sense now....will have to try it out when I get a chance gotta do sum reading up , thank you

Why don't you just take the notification bars and icons from the framework-res.apk in a wildfire cm6 rom, and flop them into your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk in the cm7 rom.
you can use the UOT kitchen: http://circle.glx.nl/ to theme your phone.
Or you can use the theme chooser.
Or you can flash my theme... if you want.

Hi thanks for the quick replys. Is there a tutorial you could point me to? I'm still learning the android system only been using for a week or so. I know the basics, flashing roms and rooting also pre packed themes etc etc. I already have the android Dev kit setup and functioning I pressume it will be required to extract cm notification bar.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
you won't need a tutorial for the UOT kitchen, it's as simple as choosing the stuff you want, then it asks you to upload your framework-res.apk, then it creates a .zip, then you flash it.
as for putting and changing icons in your framework-res, you just need the sdk to push the framework to your phone (if you dont know how to make a flashable zip) - there's a guide somewhere in the wildfire general section (just search for it). all you have to do is open the framework-res.apk with winrar, and place the icons you want to change into that rar file, and replace, - ok, done bla bla.
Nice. Thanks for your help. I'm going to try your theme as soon as I get chance aswell ill let you know how it goes. Thanks again

Careful... 9.png files need to be decompiled first before you can modify them.

systemUI and framework
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app
Here are orange themed SystemUI and framework-res. I made these from the April 12 nightly. I'm not sure if they will work with any other versions of CM9. Definitely make a nandroid backup before you try them. You can push them via adb or copy them to /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework.res.apk using something like Root Explorer. If you use something like Root Explorer mount the folder read/write, copy the files, and make sure the permissions are rw-r--r-- like the other files in those folder. Then, simply reboot.
I'm not sure if I'll get around to ever theming any more stuff orange, but it can't hurt to let me know stuff I missed or did wrong.
Enjoy!

Updated!
Updated for the 20120418 official nightly...and zipaligned this time
SystemUI.apk - It adds a new set of battery icons with a little keyboard. I assume that is for when you have an external keyboard attached.
Trebuchet.apk (NEW) - Orange theme added for homescreens and appdrawer. It also replaces the blue architecture wallpaper with an orangified version. It's pretty hideous though. I'll try to come up with something better at some point.
framework-res.apk - Now available and hopefully working too. I've never had any success copy/pasting framework-res. I always have to use adb.

No worries. I'm not really sure I'll be able to keep up with updating this anyway. It's kind of a pain. Hopefully, CM9 Reloaded will support tablets soon.
The newest nightly has Theme Chooser for CM9. Hopefully, someone will make an orange theme. I don't yet know how to make Theme Chooser themes.
