[GUIDE]✰ ◆ ◇ ✰ Custom Carrier Logo's for Stock/Custom ROMs ✰ ◇ ◆ ✰
Hey guys.
I've had a few people asking me how to create a custom carrier logo, so I decided to post up a short guide on how to do it.
I'll try to keep it as simple as possible, hopefully you'll be able to understand it
We need
- apktool
- Galaxy Note 2
*make sure you meet all requirements for apktool
Guide:
- Copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your current ROM into your apktool directory
* SystemUI.apk --> /system/app
* framework-res.apk --> /system/framework
- CD your apktool folder
- Install resources from framework-res.apk by issuing this command
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
- Decompile your SystemUI.apk by doing following command
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk
- Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder and go to /res/values/bools.xml
- Find the following bool
Code:
<bool name="config_showOperatorLogo">false</bool>
- Change it to the following:
Code:
<bool name="config_showOperatorLogo">true</bool>
- Save and close the XML
- Next, navigate to /res/drawable-xdpi/ and search for this image
Code:
tw_stat_notify_operator_logo
- This is what you want to replace with your custom image. Try not have the image too big, and make sure it is a png.
I usually make my logos arround 90x40 but they can be smaller or slightly larger depending on what you are using.
- After you replaced that image with your custom carrier logo go back to your command prompt window and recompile your apk.
Code:
apktool b SystemUI
- Your new apk will be in the decompiled SystemUI folder in the "dist" folder
- Next, ckick and drag the original AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder for the original SystemUI.apk to the new SystemUI.apk
- drag your new SystemUI.apk to /system/app and make sure you have set the right permissions RW--R--R
- then Reboot

How To Submit Request
- Post your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your current ROM
- Post the carrier logo you want
- Post what ROM you are using
Resources
- Some carrier logos
Enjoy !
Always remember to make a nandroid backup BEFORE making any changes to your system.

LuCiFeRkO, for some reason I can't seem to recompile the apk, and I've never had a problem recompiling apk's before. Can I send you a link to the needed files? Thank you so much for all your hard work.
help me plz bro...http://db.tt/SmCrL7yW
Success!!!
LuCiFeRkO,
It took me a two days to get this running, and I know this is for the 7100/7105, but I felt a little daring and tried on my Sprint L900. Now I need to make an adjustment, but I am really proud with the results for a first time. I used your template of 90 x 40. I just need to get the right Font and Colour. I may have to stretch it out a little past 90.
Also, I noticed that when the phone is locked the Carrier shows up on the lock screen beside my logo, but when I unlock it, it goes away. Any ideas where I should look to remove that or is that normal?

i can make a small tut so anyone can do it, if people are interested ?
Edit batery icon using apk manager
1 - copy your framework-res.apk to your PC, located in system-framework
2 - place in ''place apk here for modding'' folder
3 - open ''scrip.bat''
4 - choose option 22 (select project), then 1 (only one project)
5 - choose option 9
6 - now your apk is decompiled in the ''projects'' folder, the images are in''framework res-res-drawable hdpi'' and called something like ''batery icon -%''
7 - you can now replace it with the ones you like
8 - after that choose option 11 (compile)
9 - firts answer is Yes(system app), 2nd answer is No(moving files from original project)
10 - there is now a new apk in the projects folder called unsignedframework-res.apk move this to your phone
11 - change name in framework-res.apk and set permissions to RW-R--R--
12 - place it in the system-framework folder and overwright the old one
13 - phone will reboot or you you should reboot manual
this should cover it, good luck

all works good, crysis is here, but - when i pushing power button, my phone restarts. Maybe it is because i used reboot mode in power buton mod? Maybe, i should delete framework.jar and android policy.jar, whitch i copied when moding for reboot in power buton?
EDIT: vuolia, i restore original policy.jar and framework.jar, and leave you moded framework.apk and all good, i have circle battery Of course, i lost reboot mode in power meniu, but circle battery is more important for me Thanks.

Ics
im only looking for the ics status bar, not a rom.xD
Download the ICS Fusion Rom , Open with WinRAR extract SystemUI.apk from System/App . Open the SystemUI.apk with WinRAR and extract LDPI folder. Then extract the themed icons and pics you want. Take the SystemUI from the rom you are on and extract the LDPI folder. Replace the ICS themed status bar stuff from the ICS LDPI to your Roms. Put the Modified LDPI into the SystemUI.apk and then put that SystemUI.apk on your phone. Download SignAPKTic from the Google Play Store or APKTops and Re-Sign the SystemUI.apk you just edited by choosing the modified SystemUI.apk then choose test sign then click sign and choose output file SystemUI.apk and sign it. It takes around 3 minutes tops!
Then set the Root Permissions etc. and replace the Original with the modified one! Then Re-Boot and Clear Dalvik,Battery Stats,Cache. Hope this worked for you!!

yup, just make sure that when you are replacing the icons in your original systemUI.apk, you should retain the original names of the files
it's a simple procedure (use winrar or other extracting programs you like)
things you might do:
(1) replacing icons
(2) re-sizing the icons (if needed)
(3) checking the names of files
(4) pushing and setting the correct permissions
goodluck

no need to make it hard bro
just make a copy of the apk file that you want to edit
and using winrar, just overwrite the files with the edited version that you made (should have the same name)
then push + restart

Install instructions:
put SemcClock.apk, Settings.apk, SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to /system folder and change permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) on all of them. Then move SemcClock.apk, Settings.apk and SystemUI.apk to /system/app folder and framework-res.apk to /system/framework folder. Once you have finished reboot the phone and enjoy in theme
Do you hate that we cant change alarm ringtone? Yes, don't worry! I change the default alarm ringtone directly in SemcClock.apk file together with stock blurred wallpapers
Note: it works for locked and unlocked bootloader devices. You only need to have ROOT access!
A lot of icons are borrowed from other ROM-s so full credit for them goes to their makers!
Nice work! Thanks!

Great job! Thank you very much! :good:
But there is a small note: the player control buttons on the lock screen.
Take these files, and paste into your framework-res.apk as is. It will be like here.
White Magic?!
Excuse me, but why do you speak about white magic, your theme almost as much dark as stock. To fully use WM it must be as much light as possible.

Thanks for the awesome theme. :good:
Were can find your Weather Widget? It's verry nice
Thanks again !
Nice work. I'll try tommorrow on my Xperia P.
2 questions
1. Is in toggle bar a button for 2G/3G network mode? Is very usefull for me.
2. Can you do this patch to be flashable? From CWM (recovery mode). It's better to do like that because in case that something is not work is easy to go back if you post a stock patch too. I done in past on other xperia trought root explorer and after I finished to move the files in the specified folder, in case of something is wrong I'm stuck in FC loops and can't restore the old files to fix the problem.
Pls tell me which theme s that is shown in the screenshots??

Moderator, download point has failed, can trouble you re-upload it again? Extremely grateful, I really like this map set your design!
The latest firmware update from Sony on the ICS Xperia 2012 brought improvements except one unpleasant moment: bootlup after editing framework-res.apk
This method only works. It told me the user with 4pda.ru sk0t. And for that, he thanks a lot.
So, the tutorial will be small. I use ApkTools150.
1. Decompiled framework as usual, using files from your firmware.
2. Make the necessary changes.
3. Now go to the folder with the decompiled framework and open the file in a text editor apktool.iml
4. Remove these lines and save.
Code:
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2
5. Go to framework-res\res\values\ and open styles.xml. Locate and delete the highlighted in red in the two lines:
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg_bright</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Compile you framework-res.apk
After installing the framework you will experience the background application will no longer be subject to change depending on the theme. I have the problem solved by adding transparency: [Sola\Go\U?\P?] Reboot&Transparent mode [Test] But this compromise.
If someone has a different way, without errors, please let me know )
Do not say thanks, press thanks:angel:
If i do not want the transperency effect will it still work? I am fine with not being able to change the background.

Transparency is not an end, and correction of errors. If left as it is your background in applications is static, background image is stored in the framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi\semc_bg.png and semc_bg_bright.png.
I repeat, this is a compromise.
Thank u this will definitely help!

From SemcGenericUxpRes.apk extract the two pngs and copy it to drawables.hdpi of framework-res.apk. Now compile the framework-res.
It should solve the problem.

When I bring the applications to foreground after applying theme, the theme elements are applied to it too.
So Yes!
Good work mate.

It will not work.
1. If you do not delete the line about "com.sonyericsson.uxp" framework that will not compile \ work.
2. If they delete and copy two pictures of SemcGenericUxpRes.apk-then the background will be static, it will not change when you change themes. The background is taken from the framework, of those pictures, which we copied. Choosing a theme is not working 100%.

2. Copied those two pngs into framwork-res. It compiled and is working.
Can you be more specific as to what did not work on the theme. May be I am missing something here. For me it seems to be Ok. May be I am not seeing what you see.

This is exactly what I'm talking about background applications does not change. On the green theme should be a green background.

Ok i thought i'll do a little more,i moved the two pngs with an additional "_uxp" tag to their name and followed the changes in the file as per post,
Also i declared the 2png files in public.xml
Now next thing in my mind would be decompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Changing the drawable smali which finds this variable and declare it as part of framework-res.apk
now the question is what is the framework-res.apk file according to system?
Any solution to keep theme background?
Now this is an interesting workaround. Very clever.
However..
With Sony's ICS roms, you need to install SemcGenericUxpRes.apk with apktool before you decompile framework-res.apk. This will give the program all the resources it needs to fully decompile the apk.
Otherwise you will have a partially decompiled apk that will always give you a bootloop unless you do something like the op.
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk...give it a try!

HOW TO
Add ICS/Jellybean look alike task switcher
Removed previous update due to some problem in MOD-without-buttom.zip :- please use the new one
and for
[UPDATE] 18 aug- - MOD-without button.zip: without task manager button [fixed[
TO USE THIS MOD ON OTHER DEVICES GO TO THIS POST
and dont forget my name when writing Credits part....
Tools Required:
1. APKTOOL:: for decompiling/compiling
(u can use any decompiler as long as it compiles without any error)
2. JAVA runtime environment-- jre installed on windows
3. 7 ZIP
4. WinRAR
5. MOD.ZIP or MOD without button.zip (attached below)
MOD.zip includes "task manager" button at the bottom
MOD without button.zip obviously doesnt...
Procedure:
Setting up apktool
1. Unzip downloaded APKTOOL.zip to c:/apk (or any other convenient location)
2. copy ur rom's framework-res.apk to c:/apk/ and rename it as framework-stock.apk (dont delete this file neither modify it at any point)
3.open cmd and navigate to c:/apk/ and type command as
Code:
C:\apk>apktool if framework-stock.apk
Now you are all set to decompile framework-res.apk
DECOMPILING framework-res.apk
In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool d framework-res.apk frame
this will put all decompiled files in a folder named "frame"
EDITING decompiled framework-res.apk
1. open "c:/apk/frame/res" in explorer
2. extract all folders in the MOD.zip file to "c:/apk/frame/res/" and replace the files if asked
RECOMPILING framework-res.apk
1. In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool b frame framework.apk
if all goes well it will create an UNSIGNED framework.apk (u cant push it right now)
SIGNING framework-res.apk
1. open c:/apk/framework-res.apk in 7-ZIP not Winrar
2. open c:/apk/framework.apk in WINRAR and drag all the contents to the 7-zip window
and click "yes" in dialog when asked to copy files into framework-res.zip
DONE!!
c:/apk/framework-res.apk is the signed apk which you can push to system/framework/ using any method adb, CWM
or u can even use Miui file explorer to push framework-res.apk without any bootloops.....
if u get stuck in bootloop just flash ur stock framework-res.apk and then report here....
DO give proper credits if you are using this in your rom....
go here to see if it has been added to ur rom already or not....

OR you can install this task killer. ICS Task Manager from market that is "ALMOST" look like a recent task/apps of ICS/JB.
This is not yet confirmed to be working for I can't do it on my own device Xperia X10 minipro running GingerDXv029 on top of nAa-14.
It is because of having 3 recent_apps_dialog.xml namely:
recent_apps_dialog.xml
recent_apps_dialog_12.xml
recent_apps_dialog_15.xml
this traits from GDX framework is same on ARCmini NXT6 and MiniCM7-2.2.1
IF ANYONE can do this, PLEASE provide a tutorial. It will be much appreciated.

It doesn't look good to our small devices. It's devs doesn't include LDPI sources on it's apps. SO OBVIOUSLY it's too big. the screen image of the app almost 3/4 of our screen. It doesn't look good. tried it. However if you want an app. I include the link of the Ics Task Manager. It's available on free and paid versions. and It looks good on small devices.
