All I really want to do is make the icon that shows up in the status bar look like the main icon of the MMS app. I have done what I did in gingerbread to do it, but the icon looks really tiny when I do this on ICS. Is there something special I have to do?

for ICS, no. for HD devices like the rezound, yes.
Theres a folder in res called drawable-xhdpi. this is where you need to change your icons. youll notice, they are all larger than the icons in the hdpi folder. this is for HD screens.
the icons for the status bar need to be 50x50 pixles

That's where I have been putting them, but I believe they are actually larger than 50x50. Would that be a problem?
I'm not sure.
What icon do you want to replace with what?

maybe. if they arent sized right it may resort back tot eh drawable-hdpi folder with the smaller icons
resize them to 50x50 and try it
Im trying to theme the colors alone, I was able to get the apk and the only way I could make some changes was by using 7zip to extract the contents of the apk to a folder, I made my modifications I wanted to, and now what? How do I put it back to .apk type file or make it a flash able zip if at all possible?

can someone please tell me what the hell these .pro files are? i'm used to seeing .png files in the apk's, and have done quite a bit of searching, but cannot find what format the .pro files are in the system apps on the lg optimus
also, what to do to convert .png's to .pro's and so forth
thanks in advance
I'm seeing the same thing all the themes for ninja/metamorph are using .png files.
But when i open the apk's for said theme they contain pro files instead of pngs.
I'll do some of my own testing.
But if anyone else has any incite please let me know.

somebody recently said that if you rename your .png files to .pro, it may work
i havent tried it yet though
I just tested it and it worked.
But when i tried it with a .9. file it cause my phone to bug out and had to load a backup.
So watch out for those .9 files.

Na i just used DOS to remane them like ren *.png *.pro
And done!
Still there are alot of bugs with those pro files some work some dont...some cause boot loops or the app not to work.
What i need is buuf style control bar and maybe some buuf themed apps that will work without renaming files.
have you found a way to view and edit files .pro?

I'm talking about the bootup zip and the 3d gallery he said they need to be pushed also I installed the theme and my clock is not there the clock next to the battery icon
yeah, use CWM. to flash the file.
Pushing a file.... you have to use Root Explorer or SUFBS. Those are my favorite.

if u used the framework-res.apk (i think thats the one) then u gonna have to change the clock font color from the black in the rom. i think u must have done it already but maybe didnt update the right one?
I didn't do anything but flash the theme and u still can't get the bootup zip to work I used clockworkmod but it ddidn't work at all and the frame work thing your talking about what is it and how do u get there
Here comes a real noob question. When you have a theme that is flashable, do I just load up Rom Manager and install zip from sd? I know I use this method when installing roms but was not sure if this worked for themes too.
Im a tard. I forgot that I just had to rename it to update.zip and boot to recovery.
^ you do not have to rename it.
Download it.
Move it to internal root (sdcard/)
boot into cwr
optional (recommended): make a backup first while in CWR
flash zip from sdcard
select it and flash
reboot

I can help if anyone wants 1% Battery Meter with the Pulldown Toggles, All you need to do is go to OUT Kitchen and get the meter of choice. Then take the services.jar from No attach and replace if you need i can upload an empty zip so you can flash it with the Framework.apk & SystemUI.apk and Services.jar.
I replaced the Services.jar in the Atrix Ported Rom and now I have 1% Battery Increments.
Would love that...then I just need to figure out the kitchen...

The theme u've made is beautiful and I may be speaking too soon but I think it has even fixed my random reboots on ATRIX. Either that or the blue theme I was using was built on a older version of ATRIX. Either way definitely good stuff

The whole theme was done with UOT Kitchen though I'm trying to learn how to modify files I think my first major project though is to try to get the bionic ported over to the DX2, I will probably fail but I'm learning.

Can we get the file to flash to get this theme for the notification bar and pulldown? Will this work on 2.3.4?

You can change the background by changing shade_bg.png in res/drawable-hdpi in systemui.apk to the image you want
changing shade_bg.png didnt work either
Hmm are you on a sense rom? If you upload your systemui I will take a look. All I changed in mine was shade_bg and ill attatch a picture of my status bar

Ok, first of all make sure you are on a deodexed rom, not odexed. Now, you will need to edit the status_bar_background.png (in SystemUI.apk) to the image that you want to use. Also, you will need to edit the status_bar_tracking.xml, telling it to use the status_bar_background.png as the background for your expanded status bar. So using my rom as an example, after I decompiled the SystemUI.apk I edited 2 lines in the status_bar_tracking.xml from this......
android:background="@drawable/list_item_background"
to this......
android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background"
This is how it looked when I was done.....

Thank ^^
Just installing this apk in system/app doesn't give one transparency. Right?
What I thought was, to try and get the transparency mod, walkman and small apps to work at the same time. But no success.
Small apps force closes. Other than taht, everything else is working just fine. Small apps are too cool to compromise....

No. Transparency will in any case. But if you do not put modes: background music player will be in your default theme, see the first screenshot.
But if you put a mod Reboot&Transparens, yes, small apps will not work.
It's just a modified player...
