here is a themed system apk, use ADB push or root explorer to copy to system/app folder, and set all read & write permissions for the apk. thanks to itiskonrad for his tutorial and theme, also thanks to the whole XDA commuinty for there guidance
I forget to mention to reboot after you set the permissions
I fixed the status bars, now all i need to do is change the clock color to white

I tried this and it looks good! reminds me of the neutrino rom that I had on my Atrix 4g. Please do post an update once you change the clock to white font. Thanks!
Also, do you happen to have the stock SystemUI.apk file?
Looks great but is the black status bar the only modification? Either way I want this. I hate the gray bar haha
Also, when I put it in the folder, do I have to do anything with the current SystemUI.apk or simply write over it? If so, assuming I want to go back to the old SystemUI, how do I get that?

Rename your old SystemUI.apk to something like SystemUI.apk.bak and just leave it there. That way you have your backup ready to go if you need it.

Thanks! And if I ever want to go back to the old SystemUI, I would delete the new one and take the .bak away from the old one?

Well I just did everything and I rebooted and got a "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped."
What did I do wrong? Under ES File Explorer, all the read and write boxes were checked and the execute boxes were unchecked.

I even tried clearing cache and dalvik cache. Same problem.
Use root explorer. Also you could be using the base ROM and not a stock rom. That might cause a fc because the base has a modified systemUI.apk so some of the settings he made wouldn't work anymore.

I will try to update it so it will work with the Base.

Hmm maybe it was the file explorer app. I didn't want to have to pay for Root Explorer since I was under the impression ES File Explorer offered me the exact same stuff.
Yeah es file explorer definitely handles files different. That's why I broke down and paid for Root explorer, I never regretted it, IMO it is the best one out there.

Actually Im trying to change it to become like the theme in the link I posted in the OP. That theme wasnt made for my rom (stock) so I'm trying to accomodate myself. Ive used apk manager and ninjamorph too but this one is weird. Everytime I push to system/app it either disappears or the stock green one shows up. I finally got it changed a little but its the older version (idk how it became the older version considering I used the newer version and changed png) and its still mostly green. Is there another apk I must change? Thanks for the help!

the newest Market is 2.3.3 make sure thats the one your working with...
From reading a few other themed ROM sections, lots of people with themed ROMS are seeing their themed market apk revert back you the green market.
One suggestion was deleting the market updater apk, clearing ur updates and cache in the themed market apk, and then re-pushing the themed market apk back to system/app.
This worked for me when I was using gingerRED.
Goodluck.

The version I have is 2.21 & how do I uninstall updates?
Here, this is 2.3.2 CWM flashable, neon blue market. It will not update and change back to green unless you want it to. I already skipped two updates and very happy since it didn't change. You might have to reboot a couple of times before it changes and if it doesn't wipe data for market and reboot.

extract apk
change images as needed
optimize images
zip apk (using system option)
take apk and push to system/framework using various methods
the end
ps. all images exchanged are from roms or themes not supported by the stock rom. I get the images to go after Im done but also get hit by a million force closes.

ALWAYS do a backup when installing files for framework or system or anything that messes with the ROM. And most likely it will over-write the panels considering that when you install nightlies or the beta it installs the sytem-ui, framework and all that good stuff

Guys.... It's very simple... Take a look into our popular custom rom. Most of them have included no sms to MMS converted.
So, download the custom rom, extract mms.apk from /system/app and replace yours with any root explorer...
edit: Here it is...Just replace it, check permissions (rw-r-r) and reboot device.Its not flashable zip (its for LJA but im sure that its working in previous versions too):

Hi, I am running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Verizon with the GSM Patch on my GSM Razr from Germany. Everything is working fine unless I try this Razr I's homescreen from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055361
The problem comes after rebooting the phone. It actually boots up, but when the screen is unlocked, homescreen stops working. And everything else stops working as well. I am really not sure what I am doing bad but I have to flash the whole update and gsm patch to make it working again.
Thanks in advance.

Due to the fact that you have only two files from that thread, you have to walk this way:
Delete those Homescreen.apk and Circlewidget.apk you've installed from that thread, rename homescreen.apk and Homeconfig.apk to homescreen.backup and Homeconfig.backup then copy/paste the five files from the /apps folder i provided, set them "rw-r--r--"permission, then tap on Circlewidget.apk,Homescreen.apk and Wether.apk and install them, then copy/paste the two files from the /libs folder to /system/lib, set them "rw-r--r--" permission too, reboot, enjoy.
Well it didn't work again... home screen stopped working... Maybe it's because of that gsm patch I have installed...however, I'm gonna wait until EU JB is released and then I'll try it again. Thanks though.

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..
R: [Q] how to modify status bar and status bar icons?

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.

Ok, but if i delete dex files when i rebuild the package will it work ?
Is there any room that allow to edit it theme? With a simple apk?
I hate work on others apk, mostly if these apk are HTC's apk U.U

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.

It's not necessary.

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.

Yeah you're right you can edit the xmls & smalis, I have never got the hang of that yet? I just do it the other way
