Can someone help me please. I've tried changing the folder images in shellres.192 and they are not showing up. I tried adding additional icons within the ico file but no luck. Maybe because I'm trying to edit the shellres file in tsowentaskbar6 WM6.5 package I made, because It looks like it replaces the default shellres file. If there is an easier way, I'd like to know. Thank you.
yea. If you just want a few folders with customised icons, all you do is put the icons in a folder so they get cooked into the ROM. Then go here:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\SHELL\STARTINFO\START\*foldername*
ICON = \Windows\icon_name.png
ItemPosition = 0x00000000 (0x00000001, 0x00000002, etc)
Thats where the start meu information is setup. If you want to change the default icon for new folders, just replace the existing folder image in the dll... no need to add to it.
It is expected that those following this guide should have prior knowledge of
1)How to use adb and/or terminal emulator to edit system files.
2)How to fix permissions using root explorer.
3)What to do if system process crashes or the phone hangs after replacing system files- pull battery and power on.
4)If you are an advanced user you can also first modify the systemui.apk first.Replace it in the cm7_update.zip file.Sign the new zip file so generated and install it.Then no need to go through many of the following steps
This is by far the simplest method to get a transparent notification bar. Some parts of this thread have been taken from the following source:http://www.lazytrap.com/?tag=systemui-apk
What you would think is simple though, isn’t quite. You would THINK that just updating the PNG files would be enough. It’s not. I tried it a million times while trying all those other bad ideas. After the PNG files are modified, you also need to edit the file, classes.dex, which is in the root of SystemUI.apk. Turns out, .dex is yet another format only native to the Android platform. You can decompile and recompile them using smali/baksmali. Once you have decompiled the .dex file, you’ll be left with a bunch of files. For transparency on the statusbar to work, we need to edit two entries in StatusBarService.smali. After the 2 entries are changed, we save the file then recompile classes.dex, update the SystemUI.apk, then put it on our android device. That’s it. So while it’s not as simple as just editing the PNG files and updating the SystemUI.apk archive, it’s still a hell of a lot simpler than all these forum posts lead on. Actual instructions below.
Instructions:
• Copy /system/app/SystemUI.apk to your sdcard and then to your computer where you can edit it(use root explorer or adb to pull it to your computer)
• Install 7-Zip if you do not already have it. 7-Zip can browse into .apk files and let you update them easily.
• Open SystemUI.apk in 7-Zip, do not extract it, just open it.
• Browse to the folder res/drawable-hdpi/, then find all the png files that start with “status_bar” & "statusbar_background.9". Drag them into a folder on your desktop.
• Open the PNG files in Paint.Net, Gimp, Photoshop, or whatever your favorite editor is capable of png transparency.
• Delete the background. It’s now transparent. If you want semi-transparency, do that instead.
• Select all of your modified PNG files and drag them back into same spot you got them from in the SystemUI.apk file
• Press Backspace a couple times in 7-Zip to go back up to the root folder in the .apk, you should see classes.dex sitting there.
• Drag classes.dex out to a folder
• Download smali and baksmali from here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list, put them in the same dir you put classes.dex
• Open a CMD prompt and change to that directory
• Type the following (replace 1.2.6 with whatever version it was you dl’d):
• java -jar baksmali-1.2.6.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
• Back in the folder, go into the new classout directory that was created.
• Find the file named StatusBarService.smali, open it in a text editor.use notepad or notepad++(easier)
• Search for .line 1519, the line just under it should read: const/4 v5, -0×3. If it does not, but instead reads const/4 v5, 0×1 or const/4 v5, 0×2, change it.
• Search for invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V; a line above you should see const/4 v5, 0×2. Change it to const/4 v5, -0×3 also.
• Save the file and exit.
• Go back to your CMD prompt and enter this command (this recompiles the .dex file with your changes):
• java -jar smali-1.2.6.jar classout -o classes.dex
• Add classes.dex back to where you got it from in SystemUI.apk.
• Take your updated SystemUI.apk file and place it on your SD card. If you took it out, put the SD card back in your Android device. (instead of using a SD card you could use something else to move the files around, like dropbox).
• Open up Terminal on your Android device, change to the directory you put the update SystemUI.apk file. ex: cd /sdcard/myupdate/
• Type the following commands:
• mount -o remount,rw /system/
• cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
The above command probably just crashed Launcher. Press Force Close . Now, go to root explorer and fix permission for systemui.apk to rw-r--r-- and Reboot your device.
After making the update, make sure to turn off Wallpaper Hack. It’s under Settings->ADW Launcher->System Preferences->Wallpaper Hack – Not doing so will result in the transparency only working with Live Wallpapers and not others
That’s it. You should now have a transparent status bar.
Now, you can use only such themes that come with a transparent notification bar or glass effect as well as the 3 default themes included with cm7 theme chooser. But you won’t be able to use other themes i.e. they will continue to show a black notification bar and not a transparent one
WORKAROUND: But we can get transparent notification bar with ANY theme. Here’s how:
1)download the theme’s apk to your computer
2)open it with 7zip as an archive (Don’t extract it)
3)Go to res/drawable-hdpi and drag the following files to any folder:
com_android_systemui_statusbar_background.9.png; com_android_systemui_status_bar_background.9.png; com_android_systemui_status_bar_close_on.9.png
4) Open the PNG files in Paint.Net, Gimp, Photoshop, or whatever your favorite editor is capable of png transparency.
• Delete the background. It’s now transparent. If you want semi-transparency, do that instead.
Select all of your modified PNG files and drag them back into same spot you got them from in the Theme.apk file in 7zip and close 7zip
5)This will give you your new apk for the theme with a transparent statusbar .But you will need to sign it to be able to use it
6)use drag2sign_apk to sign your new apk file.
7)Transfer it to your phone and install apk using any file explorer. (If you did not sign the new apk then installation will FAIL)
8) Go to theme chooser and apply your New theme. That’s it you will now have a Transparent notification bar
This method can be used to get a transparent notification bar with ANY theme
Here I'm attaching the SystemUI.apk of cm7_rc1.5 which I'm currently using with transparent statusbar.I recommend using adb to push it.
In command prompt first change directory to the one containing the patched SystemUI.apk
Use this command: adb remount (to allow editing the system files)
next command: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Then fix permission using root explorer.
Reboot.
Don't forget to uncheck wallpaper hack in ADW settings
THOSE WHO FIND THIS THREAD USEFUL DON'T FORGET TO HIT THANKS
I had to update my system and hence had to create a new systemui.apk. This one is of cm-7.1.0-11 stable release. Here I'm uploading it for your convenience
thx for the instruction.
but anyhow, i cannot make it work on my latest nightly builds. status bar was dismissed after modification file pushed to system.

You can go to this website http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ and upload your framework-res and systemui and do all kinds of stuff to it including transparencies. check it out its pretty easy. You can also upload a theme.apk and modify that also. Here is a thread for asking questions and getting help for that site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829

I guess gingerblur-trans.apk, is semi trans with black. If u see semi trans black, can u make it full trans for this gingerblur-trans.apk ?.
I did try to make gingerblur-trans.apk full trans with paint.net.
I took all statusbar* pngs from the gingerblur-trans.apk file, then opened it in paint.net, under layer window, layer properties, opacity was set 255, made it 0, this changed the image with small white_gray square pattern image, guess this is transparent image, save it as png, with bit depth auto-detect, then replaced all those statusbar* file in the original gingerblur-trans.apk, then resigned it. After installing it, still i see black bar in home screen, and full trans in lock screen, if i use live wallpapers, both home/screen lock is transparent, this is with go launcher ex,
if i use AWD, both home and lock screen is full trans . I dont like AWD much. Can u try and if it wrks fine on go laucnher ex, can u post the modified gingerblur-trans.apk file here plz ?

untouch theme. wanna full transparent?
i'm currently working on a theme. but i have 2 questions:
*can miui theme non system apps as well?
i tried to but i cannot see what i am doing wrong here.
my example: i have palmary weather widget,
1) looked up its package name (com.palmary.forecaweather)
2) extracted the image i wanted to edit out of the .apk
3) changed it in photoshop
4) have set an directory; res>drawable-hdpi>imagename.png
5) zipped it and renamed it com.palmary.forecaweather
6) and rezipped that folder with a current theme to a mtz file.
*how do i edit png files that are indexed when opened in photoshop?
some images for instance in framework-res, have indexed 8-bit color set to it.
and i cannot edit those images in photoshop without losing transparency.

Hello Community,
Let me start by saying that I still a noob at theming but thought I would post a small tutorial on how I themed the BlurDialer.apk. Anyone else that has done theming please feel free to add input tips and tricks. Hopefully we ccan make this a great how to that might get stickied. Remember I am still learning also. this will be a simple how-to. I know there is a lot more to theming and I will update as I figure things out. So here we go.
Tools used: 7-zip and GIMP 2.6 (google for downloads)
1) Install 7-zip and GIMP 2.6.
2)Download the apk you want to theme.
3) Right click on the apk and navagate to 7-zip then extract. (I recommend desktop) Make sure you leave the orginal apk intact. VERY Important!!!
4)Open the extracted file. Leave META-INF alone. There should be a file named res. Open it.
5)Inside res you will find a few files. Inside a lot of the files are the png files.
6)Using GIMP make the changes to the pngs that you want to theme.
7)When done theming re-open the original apk file using 7-zip.
8)Now copy the new res file into the 7-zip window. This will update the current file in the archieve.
9)Install apk file and enjoy your new theme.
Let me say this sounds easier said then done. If you are porting over a theme it may take longer as file names are different from each device. The reason to keep the original apk intact is so you don't have to resign it when you are done. That makes things a lot easier. Feel free to ask any questions, justt remember I am still learning. Please google for answers as that is what I have done to learn what I have. Like I said above anyone currently theming please feel free to add any tips and tricks.
If you do use anyone else's work please ask for permission first and don't forget to give credit where credit is due. If this helps you at all please don't forget the thanks button.

Is a rom u made or one u downloaded?
If one u downloaded use 7zip to extract the framework and systemui apks. Then use 7zip again to extract the contents of each apks. Then when done theming copy files back into original apks then copy apks back into zip file. You shouldnt have to complie unless its your own ROM.

1 - HOW TO CHANGE BOOT LOGO AND BOOT ANIMATION - Thanks to thewarhawk
FOR BOOT LOGO (prior to bootanimation)
What you'll need:
Image Editor - I used Photoshop
Binary Editor (I used FHRED -- it's free)
Fastboot
Logo-header
Creating Your Logo
First: Open up your image editor, and make your boot image the dimensions must be 540x960. Important: you must flip the image vertically (so that it is upside down).
Second: Save your boot logo as a .BMP file, but it must be saved in 565 format. To do this in photoshop, save as the BMP file, then when the extra options come up push the advanced modes button, and select the R5 G6 B5 option.
Third: Open up the .BMP file with your binary editor (FHRED) and delete the first 70 Bits (pairs of numbers), and the last 2 bits (with FHRED, just highlight and hit delete)
Fourth: Copy the header from the linked logo-header file and paste it at the top of your bin. Your file should be 1036820 bits. Save as logo.bin.
Applying a Logo
Fifth: Unzip fastboot and move your newly created logo.bin to the same directory.
Sixth: put your phone in fastboot by booting the phone holding the volume down, and then once you see fastboot on the screen, press voume up. connect your phone and open command prompt and use the cd command to navigate to where your fastboot and logo.bin is and enter:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
ENJOY!!!
Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for any bricked phones
_________
FOR BOOTANIMATION:
Step 1: Create a series of images that will be your animation. Dimensions (540x960) and name each of them in sequential order. I used _00001.jpg as the numbering method. I ended up going up to _00010.jpg and then looped the animation.
Step 2: You'll need to edit the desc.txt so it'll play your animation as you want. When you open it, there are lines that describe everything. I just haven't figured out where to put the sounds...(I prefer that my phone load up silent anyway...) If you notice, in the text, you can call out specific folders (which you can rename to anything..I've kept it as sprint had). In the file it'll show you how to loop the animation (repeat count) I've chosen 0 for the animation part so it'll loop until the phone completely boots. You can keep playing around with timing and frames/sec...so you can essentially make a movie out of it.
Step 3: Zip your folders containing your images and your desc.txt in one .zip file. DO NOT COMPRESS IT. When saving it choose STORE as the compression mode. Name this file bootanimation.zip and save to your SD-Card on your phone
Step 4: Using Root Explorer, go into System/Media. Click on Mount as R/W. Then rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak to save it if you want. Next, move the bootanimation.zip you created into that /media folder. You'll need to change the permissions by long pressing the file. rw-r-r
Click OK
Step 5: Reboot! Enjoy!

There are three main parts to the "In-Call" status (this is when you are making a phone call) which I've labeled with red numbers
1) Unknown/known caller image
2) In-call options section
3) In-call background
- The first thing you need to do is to copy the BlurPhone.apk to your desktop from your phone
- Make a copy of it for safekeeping if you mess up
- With the copy you want to edit, use 7zip to "open archive" and you'll see a folder called "res"
- Copy this res folder to the desktop and keep the 7 zip archive open
- You should have these folders side by side (one which you'll edit with - the desktop one, and one that you'll save the edited files over - the 7zip archive)
- Open both res folders and each should have many folders within. The important ones are "drawable" and "drawable-hdpi" and ignore the rest of them
- Open both "drawable" folders so they are side by side
- In the Desktop "drawable" folder, there is bg_in_call - Double click on it to open it in your Photo-editor..I used Photoshop. I created a new layer over this one, blacked it out using the bucket, and Merged the layers. I think when working with PNG files don't flatten them, or you'll probably get the stupid white background to show..I digress.
- subchrome - Search for this image. Open it. I noticed a transparent line above it, but didn't do anything about it the first time I did this and had to do this all over again...that transparent line will cause a visible separation between the background where it says "Connected" and the Duration of Call. So, when I fixed it, I essentially closed the gap by painting over it. Remember, layer on top and then merge down.
- incall_bkgnd - This is where the "options" part is, where you can end the call, go to the dialpad, etc. - Again, with this PNG file, do not flatten it. All I did was delete all the squares except for the end button and changed it's color...simple enough right?
- Now, select all images, or just the one's you've edited and drag them over the 7zip archive ones to overwrite them.
- Close the archive window.
- Open up "drawable-hdpi" folders in both the desktop and 7zip archive so they are side by side
- incall_bkgnd - Look familiar? Change that one again
- ic_pane_unknown_caller - Change this as you want! I took Alien-Theme's and made it blue to go with my battery/dialer
- ic_pane_contact_photo - I made it the same as the unknown caller image
- subchrome - same as before
- bg_in_call - same as before
- Now, as before, save it and copy them over to the 7zip archive in the same "drawable-hdpi" folder to overwrite them.
- Close the archive window
So, if you want the in-call status to update, follow these steps:
- MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP FIRST!!!!!!
- Move the Phone.apk to the /system/app/ folder and overwrite the existing BlurPhone.apk
- YOU WILL FORCE CLOSE. Tap the force close a few times.
- Pull battery
- Power up
- Once the phone boots up, you will get a couple force closes, don't worry about it.
- Go to file manager (In this case I use Root Explorer) and go to /system/app/
- Find the BlurPhone.apk file and change the permissions to rw-r-r and then hit OK
- Reboot and enjoy!

3 - HOW TO THEME PARTS OF THE NOTIFICATION DROP DOWN - Thank you to: on21st at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213071&highlight=
Hi everyone, I'm learning bit by bit here. I've found ways to edit some parts of the notification drop down and will be updating this very soon.
There are a few main parts of the notification drop down that I started out with cuz I hate this navy blue crap that this phone has going on:
1 - Title bar
2 - Background
3 - I call it the handle, but yeah whatever that's called
----
Important - Make a nandroid backup first! I am not responsible if you mess up!!
Start by copying the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apks to your computer
To change the Title Bar Color
- Extract SystemUI.apk so you have a folder you can play with and edit.

8 - HOW TO THEME THE WIFI-3G-SIGNAL ICONS - Please see [THEME] - Blackout - WIP
- You'll need: SystemUI.apk, 7zip, Photoshop, Illustrator or another program. In this case, I used Illustrator to build the icon since it's clean, and then imported into Photoshop
- Copy the SYSTEMUI.APK to your computer (make a copy of that just in case)
- Extract the SYSTEMUI.APK to your computer
- Open up the SYSTEMUI.apk using 7zip "open archive"
- In in the extracted folder and the 7zip folder, open up to drawable HDPI side by side - you'll see a crapload of icons
- The icons that our Photons will call for (unless you've modified the xml) are the stat_sys_ wifi_signal, stat_sys_data_, and zz_moto_stats_sys_signal_6bar... icons. I didn't call out the 4G ones, since I'm unlocked and don't care for 4G cuz it apparently sucks in Beantown.
- Each icon is 38x38 pixels..keep that in mind as you build your icons. I laid out guides in Illustrator and photoshop that allowed me to snap the drawings to the grid/guides which helped a lot.
- The colors I used to match the no-signal and not-connected were hex: 232323 and 848484. For the 3G icon, i used: 666666 to make the arrows darker than the non-connected background.
- Once I built the icons in Illustrator, I dragged them over to Photoshop, and saved as .png
- After making all the icons, I dragged them over to the open 7zip archive window (remember this is the drawable-hdpi folder)
- Click yes and close the archive when you've transferred them over
- Upload the new systemui.apk to your sd card
- Move it to system/media
- Change the permission to rw-r-r
- Move to system/framework overwriting your old one (You saved a copy of it though, didn't you?)
- Reboot and enjoy!

- Reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache
- Download any swype.apk from this dude's website
- Open it up in 7zip and remove the lib folder to your desktop
- Close the archive and rename it Swype.apk
- Open up the lib folder you saved to desktop and rename that file to: lib.swypecore.so
- Save the newly renamed Swype.apk and lib.swypecore.so to your sdcard
- Change the permissions to rw-r-r for each and move the Swype.apk to your system/app folder
- Move the lib.swypecore.so file to the system/lib folder
- Reboot
- ENJOY!!!
- FINALLY!!!
I would have to guess the keyboard font would be part of the rom so it prolly would be the same as changing the color in a themes apk. Just my guess.

I think the font color is changed through an xml file in the systemui.apk or framework-res.apk...I can't be sure, but I remember reading about it somewhere..

There is a program called FHRED. I've used it to make the boot splash screen. Since you're themeing, here's a thread I had in Android Forums that deals with how to make Boot Splash/Animations
Have you guys checked this? they have a four part guide..

Yeah, I've bookmarked this tutorial, but for someone like me, I need something even simpler. I plan on editing my 1st post in this thread with really simple HOW-TOs for the noobs like myself. Ex: HOW TO CHANGE YOUR DIALER in 5 Easy steps with photos or something...Thanks for posting it though! The smarter people who know how to follow instructions will probably benefit most! LOL!

Hello,
i'd like to share instructions for a mod that lets you use custom images (.png) as icons for apps system-widely (in recents menu, in launchers, included One UI home) in stock-based samsung roms.
This works fine on Android Pie 9 rom (it might work also on Android 10 Q if the engine hasn't changed).
Story:
I was searching a way to get rid of adaptive icons (i hate small icons inside white circles, i simply can't find my apps) and get back freeform legacy icons. Unfortunately OneUI home launcher does not allow custom icons, while using third-paty launchers only lets you change icons on the launcher side and not in the whole android system.
Samsung has created a great theme engine but they like to protect their things from personal use too (seriously: who's still making money from theming nowadays?).
Basis:
You need to edit the theme_app_icons.xml file in framework-res.apk from system/framework folder and the only way I found is by replacing framework-res.apk with a modded one (ROOT needed).
I made several attempts to create a working overlay (root-less) for this particular file in framework-res but it seems that strangely this file cannot be overlayed using the Resource Overlay framework (Samsung restrictions? So far it seems that other themers could not find a way, too).
So, for ROOT-LESS users, you can only customize predefined samsung/google apps icons (apps listed in theme_app_icons.xml).
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) decompile framework-res.apk (i used TickleMyandroid https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333)
2) go to decompiled res/xml folder, open and edit theme_app_icons.xml adding new entries for the apps you want. For editing you can use Notepad++, avoid Windows notepad.
You need to add the package name of the app and an ic_xxxxxx custom icon name you'll use later.
For example, if you want to customize the icon of the XDA app you'll add this line:
Code:
<ThemeApp className="com.xda.labs" iconId="ic_xda" />
3) save, recompile (for recompilation errors you need to look in the error log and delete duplicate entries in styles.xml similarly to what is described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78541190&postcount=838 )
Then drag and drop the theme_app_icons.xml FROM the recompiled apk TO the original framework-res.apk, because if you use directly the recompiled apk you might have bootloop (apktool problem with res folders, happens also for other system apks)
4) now -directly replace- or -system-lessly replace using a Magisk module- the framework-res.apk with the modded one and reboot
5) Open the Galaxy Theme store, download a random icon pack but DO NOT APPLY IT, export the apk (you can find it in data/app folder), decompile it and replace and add icons in res/drawable-xxxxdpi folder with your custom PNG icons (you can also replace default .qmg files with .png ones).
Now recompile the modded icon pack apk and replace the downloaded one on the phone with the recompiled pack
(you can A- directly install it over the original one if you have the "Core Patch" edxposed module/Smali patcher signature mod magisk module or B- uninstall the original pack using the terminal command "pm uninstall packagename" and immediately install the recompiled one.
The same concept can be used to install custom themes, for example these or using the "Custom Themes Installer for OneUI Pie" app )
6) Finally apply the icon pack using Galaxy theme store and you are done.

NOTES:
-The modded icon pack might disappear from the personal list in Galaxy theme store after a reboot, but the icons will stay there (and also the installed icon package).
-Every app still has its legacy icon in res/mipmap folders, so you can extract and use it in your icon pack
- you can adjust the icon size using the "icon_scale_size" integer inside the icon pack (max 100)
Hope you enjoy, i've been experimenting a lot during this lockdown time. I'll try also to answer the questions and give help.
This looks promising! is there anyway that the icon shape can be changed too?

Yes, more or less on those lines. I personally hate the squarecicle icons, can something like rounded rectangle be achieved? something that miui, huawei etc has

This is interesting. I just found that theme_app_icons.xml and tried to make an overlay to target it and failed. Then do a bit research lead me to this post. But I still want to find out why the overlay method didn't work. So could you share your steps and method that you use to overlay target that xml? I have a thinking that maybe the level of priority of the overlay is the issue.
well theres 2 minutes im not getting back. -_-

I simply edited one of the stock overlays you can find in /vendor/overlay folder. Tried fiddling a bit but was unsuccessful.
Please let me know if you find a solution (as far as i know not even professional themers so far have found the right way)
