Hey everyone,
So I, like most people on XDA, flash different ROMs all the time. The problem is each ROM has one thing I like but others I don't.
However, the joy of Android is just that! You get to make your phone custom
Anyway, I really like the notification drop down bar on Serendipity. I think Mikey and Chance did a phenomenal job with it. Looks great. But I like the functionality of CyanogenMOD.
Is there anyway to port the notification drop down from Serendipity to CM7?
Thanks!

I'm doing this off memory so bear with me for any errors. On the cm rom, pick a theme that u like and find the apk for it in system/app. Pull that apk and decompile it with apk tool. Then download the ROM that u want and take systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and decompile them. After u decompile it, look for some file names in res/drawablehdpi for the images u will want to transfer to the cm theme. Then copy them to the cm theme. I think u have to rename them, but I'm not sure what to rename them to. I will update this when I find out since I'm working on my own theme for this. After u copy them recompile the apk and sign it using apk tool and send it to your device and install it.
If u have no idea on what I am talking about search for how to make themes by jivy26 on themes and apps. Or I can help u make a port, but u would have to be willing to test because i dont feel like switching roms.
If I had money, I would get a credit card. If I had a credit card, I would donate.

Thanks for your reply. The only problem is that I've done this and cannot seem to find any corresponding images in the theme/res/drawable-hdpi directory.

In system ui in drawable there should be pictures with the labels status_bar something. There will be multiple background images and should be the toggle images. You wouldn't be able to find this if you were looking in framework-res

Hey everyone! I have an ICS theme apk downloaded that I am currently using, however I dont like the status bar icons that show up. Is it possible for me to change those icons to ones that came with GB?
nope u cant..
Yes you can, but thats a really big headache...prefer leaving it to the developers
Open the apk with WinRAR or 7zip and replace the drawables with theones u want... u may need to sign the apk again...
if dont what i am talking about then just dont do anything..

Thread: [KITCHEN][01/22] UOT Kitchen (Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen) version 4.0
He can't change status bar icons with his own using UOT kitchen, he can change only to those that are already given in the kitchen....
BTW, you should listen to nogoodusername, if you don't succeed, you'll just get a parse error when installing...

I think i know what you're talking about.. You mean taking out the drawables from the apk that i dont want and putting in the ones from GB? Although i dont know where to get those files and how do you sign the apk?
I got a few PM requests to tell them how to have lock screen look like in my JJ's Hybrid ROM...
Just attached the Zip.. ITS NOT FLASHABLE ZIP... Only for ICS ROMS...I dont want to make it flashable zip as it can effect ur themes and other framework mods...
Copy the png files in ICS_Style_Lock.zip to res/drawabale-hdpi in framework-res.apk using 7zip or winrar and replace ...
If u want to do within phone u can use Xplore File Manager (free from market)..

Likely not as the image names might be different, so you won't replace the old

Just pull the 1 zip or 2 zips from the rom, & explore for you're self, I think its the system ui but could be wrong, I'm not near my computer at the moment to check so I can't say exactly which one it is? If you're gonna mod the battery icons you're gonna look inside anyway & I takes like 10secs to extract & search the apk? If you don't wanna do that, there are various apps in the playstore you can download for free to look at the framework pics from inside the apks without opening them! Hope this helps.... press thanks if it did

As Maarten already pointed out SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. And if you want to use them in apktool you'll also need com.htc.resources.apk.
Just out of curiosity: are you going to use UOT or apktool? Been trying to change status bar clock colour on half-sense and fulmix (see my post in his thread) with apktool but haven't succeeded yet.
What are your plans on theming?
Just pull the zips & open using winrar? Thts what I've been doing for around 4yrs now

That's just image editing.
If you want to theme it even further, you need to decompile it and edit .xml's and .smali's.

I want to modify just some png , i would a complete BuuF theme on my desire X..
However i would use apktool, because i always used it, but i think i have to try something else, because when i try to debuild Rom's apk it says: "bad magic number" or something similar..

It gives you this errors because there is classes.dex file on it. Delete it and than decompile.
Dex files are most of them added by phone's company; for us HTC.

Open with WinRAR or 7-Zip delete classes.dex and than decompile with apktool.
Note: you do not have to extract apk to delete classes.dex file.

Why would there be a need of deleting classes.dex? I've decompiled lots of HTC apps and they all worked fine.

Bad Mugic Number error is usually for this file.
Samsung, HTC, etc. have different dex files.

Can you prove this ??
Make a SystemUI.apk without classes.dex and put that in you ROM and release to all users to test. If it works, I will resign from making ROMs.

Use latest apktool, bad magic value errors fixed in new version.
Refer to this for more info : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642224
BTW... if it just some icons png that you need to change, just replace the pngs, decompile/recompile is not needed.

SystemUI must have classes.dex; there is where all the instructions (the smali files) come from for the apk to work. Like what to run for the EQS and many more.
As mentioned on the link given above
Code:
b) If you are using apkmanager, you can just export classes.dex, then delete classes inside the apk. Then decompile, edit, compile and add classes.dex back when ready.

If u just want to change icons of any app, then just extract the app with zarchive or root explorar or any other archiving tool... Then go to the extracted app folder. Then go to res/drawable. in this folder you will find icon.png . just replace it with ur desired icon... then zip the folder and rename the zip as apk... You are done...
If u are in pc just open the apk with winrar then replace the icon with winrar.. That's it...
