I'm trying to change the unlock icon to something a little more jellybean looking. It just seems funny having those nice icons next to a plain white symbol. I'm having trouble recompiling the framework-res.apk. I'll try again tomorrow after work to get a flashable zip posted
For anyone who wants to attempt this them self the icon PNG file is located at
System>framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi>unlock_default.png
Here's the rough icon I made as well at 244x244 pixels, the same as the original. Not great but its a start

Looking nice...you really don't have to recompile the apk in this case...just 7zip the new icons in the proper folder and good to go...just saying...

Well that makes it easy, thanks. I'll still get it in zip format so everyone can just flash. I'll work on the icons a little more too.
A jelly bean android icon would be cool. Just a thought
I like it!

While you are waiting for the tutorial you will need to root your phone and install Root Explorer or another file manager so you can place the files and change permissions of files.
Sorry ive been busy the last few days and tonight I moved my work over to my Linux box and had to reinstall the SDK, adb and apktool all over again. I was getting boot loops when trying to do it without the proper tools plus I need em to make flash able zips. I might have something up tonight as I'm busy with work tomorrow and then borderlands 2 gets released at midnight so I won't be getting any sleep.

Use vrthemer to flash these mods. The scripts automatically update the apk with your images. Use one of the lockmods I made in the 4.2.2 lock mod thread to see how the folder structure is set. Its easy as pie

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

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.
Well test one...took the smali edits made for the atrix and threw those in and it made the status bar disappear lol. So not that easy...

Guys, just so you know, i loaded this the new homebase rom with update, and it has the battery percentage as 1% thank god!!!
Making an attempt...
I'm still a noob so pardon me if i'm not really adding anything here. I'm going to try to make the mod. So far I've:
1) Downloaded apktool
2) Decompiled the framework-res.apk file
3) Went into stats_sys_battery.xml and added the lines for each percentage
...LOL that's where I'm at and this'll take a while...so sorry if I'm taking a long time with this...I also just saw that last post about having the 1% mod on the home based rom...****! LOL! Well, if anyone's interested, I'll still give it a shot...hopefully i don't brick my phone.
4) Went into UOT Kitchen and downloaded some battery icons (now i have all charging/status icons...I didn't want to make it myself)
5) Wondering if I replace stats_sys_battery.xml with my modded one, recompile, that it would work?
If you use minimalistic text, it shows battery level in increments of 1%

What ROM do you need the mod for? If you're talking Joker's skinny ROMs, then you can flash those as they have the % mod. Also Rangerbry posted the % mod way back for BLUR Roms. If you're talking ICS. Not ready yet, though I had extracted the systemui.apk and decompiled it, made my xml edits. but apktool doesn't compile the unrecognized ICS yet, so right now, we're stuck.

To see if its your environment or your edits, decompile and don't make any changes then recompile. Depending on the results you'll have your answer.

As he said, just install what you want, no need to port anything, all working roms here are stock based.

In your /system/app folder for all stock roms there is the ROSIE.apk(that is the launcher), and a ton of APKS with the word widget in them.. they are for the stock launcher. Put them in the /system/app folder on your senseless rom and they are back. Mind you, the widgets only work with rosie. As for the camera, if they just replaced it with the one from the sensation or one-x camera.apk you can go into the themes and apps section and find one titled HQ camera, flash it and it will put the stock one back(and it will add HQ mod for much higher picture quality).
You need to reboot after adding files back to the /system/app folder by the way.
alirght i will give it a try now! thank you! what i did before is unzip the rom, transfer the apks and zip it back and flash...gave me operation aborted! it was only the phone apk and camera, thats basically what i want the most.

If you unzipped it then you'll need to sign the zip file or simply replace the files using winrar or some other client without unzipping the file.

I could be wrong, I'd you are using cm9 or 10 and ring to install an apk made for sense it won't work because of framework . That's how it was with other phones.
Things might have changed but I haven't heard about it.
If It's any other Rom besides those two and miui attempt It's a sense based Rom and something you are doing is a bit off

What this guy said, it's a framework issue, the framework files have been highly modified, most likely he resigned all the system apps after modifying them, you can decompile and recompile the phone apk, resigning it to see if that solves it. Most likely having to resign all system apps.

As for editing xml values you can simply copy the xml file out and edit it using your favourite editor and then copy them back in.
Hope I was able to help some OS X users.
/edit By the way, this method (WinRar or muCommander) also works for editing update.zip. This means you can customise the rom (add/remove system apks, change the boot animation etc) before you flash it.
The one thing I'm having trouble with is the green bars on the bottom of the notification toggles. I can't find where they're at.

I have been able to theme the Dialer to black background, but have had no luck with changing the SecContacts.apk background.
If anyone can help, or has any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you, all!
Welcome to theming Q&A..
I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think it is in the framework. It's something like tw-background light/dark. I'll double check when I get home to confirm.

No, the real guys are Vertumus and Nitro, theya re insane with it and their AOSP themes, they gave me permission to use theirs as a reference so now I can make my own AOSP them based off their work to the way I like it. (If can ever nake it that way!!)
thank you so much for your hep!

I mean I don't suck or anything, I first started out themeing, but then I did my first smali MOD and was hooked.
I was on 7 HTC phone before coming to the SG3/SG4 so I haven't ever themed Samsung besides SG3 which was cake, but it was also using Bean's work as a base 99% his. I can do it I just don't enjoy it as much, as I am not as good.
I'll help anyway as well.
Hope can get the contacts bro. I really want to get the AOSP theme rocking. Maaybee you want to team up with me on it? who knows? that would be so sick.
Either way glad this thread will hopefully get some good use for people.

I think this is right but I learn as I go.
Frameworks drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi /tw_background_holo_light.png
I'm gonna theme to darken dialer so if I can confirm I'll report.
Edit: that did change contacts/recents backround but not dialer.

Dialer background is in a different spot for what ever reason. Its in sec contacts apk under one of the layout files with "dialpad_fragment" in the name.

if you change the contacts_list_content.xml in SecContacts and add android:background(line 12) that will change that. The problem with changing the image in frameworks file, is if any other apps calls a system resource it will make it darkbackground with most likely black text... This screwing that up.
So then you gotta redo that app. so I prefer to make the app inverted all by iteself and not reply up backgrounds and such from framework if I can help it....
Just a different way of doing it.....

Sorry. long weekend. Wrong person you are correct..
FWIW both methods did the exact same changes..
im trying to change the background of secsettings.apk from black/white text to white/black text
i know the changes need to be made in secsettings.apk. Nothing in there references a framework file.
i changed devicedefault to devicedefault.light in /res/vaules/styles.xml with no luck
any advice?

4.2.2 is weird compared to 4.1.2

So just use the compare plugin in notepad++. It will highlight where text is moved.
