Thanks to jeffsanace and eg1122 for the help with getting the apktool working
scrosler for what to edit
You should do a bunch of colors and make them flashable on any rom.

This is what i get when trying to recompile. I also made sure i got rid of the zero_dummy_assets when editing pubilc xml in apktool.
Any idea?

I will take RED toggles please, thank you!!!!
If you guys use VillainTheme System (you can just gank the template from my theme in my signature) once you recompile the apk, pull the XML file you edited, place it in the right folder within vrtheme (com.htc.resources.apk/res/values/) and it will work on any ROM by only overwriting that specific XML file.
OP, if you can give me a hand with something: I can recompile com.htc.resources with no errors and all, but hte ENTIRE values folder are missing from my newly compiled APK, even if I make no changes. I assume that has something to do with my set up but I tried resetting up my apktools folder a thousand times. Any insight?
When will you guys learn to use the search button? Seriously, learn to use it and help yourself out. The solution to your apk compiling issues was solved by this thread in May.
To the OP: It is always proper etiquette to thank your source.
FYI to everyone else: multiply color variable changes A LOT more than just the toggles. Use PIN lock for one example and notice what I mean.

Way to read.
I made it CLEAR that I'm not having any compile issues, I'm just missing the values folder when I DO compile. No errors. No nothing. Know why? BECAUSE I FOLLOWED THAT SAME EXACT GUIDE.

Has anyone had success with this? Anytime I change something and recompile and flash it, my statusbar goes away and I have to reflash the original apk.
Any insight is much appreciated.
Did you try a reboot after flashing? Some of the mods don't show up until you reboot, that's a known issue.

its a signature issue i believe. i was able to flash a modded systemui placing the old sig in after i recompiled. also you can adb push. you need to stop adb before you push and then after you push to phone restart adb
if you open the .apk with winrar and paste the edited files you want in there and close it let winrar update it then you should be able to flash without decompiling and recompiling it with SIG intact

Im not sure how you got that to work... Everytime I have tried that I get the same result and it doesn't work well with the .9.pngs because they have to be decompiled to look right.

If you're editing .9.pngs then yea, those have to be decompiled, but the regular pngs dont' have to be. What exactly are you trying to edit?

That's not too much really. I do the same thing because you don't always know where the guide lines are on the .9.png when they're compiled.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the status_bar_background.png, and shouldn't have to be decompiled to edit. Are you resigning the apk before you push it back?

I even changed in framework-res.apk its statusbar background which was a white block... I'm confused
sent from my Evo 3D from xda app
What I have noticed while messing with my systemui.apk is some of the names have changed in the evo 3d. I applied a MattedBlues theme to my systemui and framework, but not everything changed. I went in to see why and some of the names of the png's were just a little bit different on the 3d, then they were on say the Evo 4G.
Also try to push via an while in recovery
There is a code edit that needs to be done in order for the dropdown to be transparent. Once the code is changed you can make it whatever color you want. The status bar is the same way in order to make it trans. I'll see if I can dig up what files they are.
I've been playing around modifying the colors of the icons in my ICS System_UI.apk and I've made everything a grey theme only thing I don't know how to change is the color of the clock in the status bar since its not an image how would I go about changing this?

You need to decompile your systemui.apk.after that go to res/values/
edit styles.xml,search for TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock and change the value of android:textColor to 808080 (which i think is grey,not sure).after making changes, save and compile your systemui.apk and there you go...

Hey peeps,
I'm finally trying to get into themeing my 3D on my own and would like to know where I can find the names of each individual file that I can edit and what it changes within the ROM. For example the text input areas what are the names of those files within the framework-res.apk? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated and if this has already been covered can you point me to the right place because searches aren't bringing up anything. Also, Mods if this is in the wrong place, move it for me. thanx
You need to know that you can't edit all files or think that all is in png's since some of them are values and not graphics. FE if you want to mod the dialer you need to edit the xml files.

but I still don't see anyone explaining what the specfic file names are for the images within the system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ or other similar places you can edit/switch out pngs. I've extracted the images but you can't always tell which image affects what within a ROM.
Nobody makes lists of all the images because there are thousands of them and they constantly change with software versions. Most are always in drawable-hdpi

Unfortunately man it is exactly as notsointeresting said. Basically its looking through all the images and finding what you think may change what, then just edit it and test it. The only tutorials you'll find are how to edit the actual .9 pngs and maybe some text edits. Here's one that I had posted in the Interactive Phone Modification thread, but it is just color text edits that can be made in framework-res for sense 3.6.

If you give me £1,000,000 I'll name them. Seriously tho experiment and after you have done a few themes you will start to know what does what. I quite often ask mayfield for the 0x0000000 numbers of m10 files because he has modded the fusion so may times he has learnt mot of them from by heart. Good luck

This thread. I love it. Seriously though, look at the file names and try to relate them common, divider, ect...
And as soon as you figure it out you'll get a newer operating system and have to start over. That's where the fun is.
I figured out evo 4g and then I bought a evo 3d. Then figured it out and then bought the el tevo. It's a vicious cycle.

Knight has list of a handful probably has more of em named now. But you learn pretty quick what is what after you do it a few times. . As for other pngs edit as many as you want in the system ui frame work res and so on. Also look in the sticky section a lot of info you should read up on.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Set your explorer window to grid the images spread out then look at your phone and then look for the image you want to change in your explorer window.
Make a few changes and send the file to your phone reboot and see if it worked.
It's long hard tedious work but rewarding in the end when you finish and people download.

On Samsung phones all it took was an edit to the feature.xml in the csc folder to get rid of it. The icon itself is a png. If there is a smali edit for HTC phones I haven't seen any.

Find the line <item type="boolean" name="nfc_show_icon">1</item>
Change the 1 to a 0
Reboot phone

I just wrote a small Xposed module based on Xposed framework to remove the NFC Icon completely. No need to modify the NFC.apk. You could get the app on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467970
Works awesome. Thank you!
I know this thread is old but since the Xposed module doesn't seem to work for everyone I will post another solution. If you don't have the system/customize folder, the setting is probably in
Code:
/system/etc/customization/settings/config.prop
You just have to change
Code:
ro.nfc.icon.enable=true
to
Code:
ro.nfc.icon.enable=false
Very good solution for NFC Icon !!!
