DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE EXPLODING, IMPLODING, OR ANY OTHER VIOLENT DEMISE WHICH MAY BEFALL YOUR GALAXY S 4 AS A RESULT OF YOUR TRYING TO INCORPORATE THESE ICONS OR MODS.
THESE MODS ASSUME YOU KNOW HOW TO EXTRACT APKS FROM YOUR PHONE, MAKE EDITS, AND PUSH THEM BACK ONTO YOUR PHONE WITH APPROPRIATE PERMISSIONS SO THAT THEY CAN FUNCTION PROPERLY. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, TURN BACK NOW. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING.
Due to requests, I am posting icons I made (originally for my LG Nitro) for the GS4. These are completely original icons I literally drew in power point, saved as pngs, and then resized/cropped to icons. The good thing about the icons is that they're very minimalist (just my style), so they actually weren't too hard to make, all things considered.
These cover the icons which are positioned on the right side of the notification bar. These will not change icons on the left side of the bar.
Just to give you an idea, here is a clip of my notification bar:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A FEW NOTES:
1.) The signal icons will not work if you have done the build.prop edit to change to stock jelly bean icons. This edit changes the identity of your phone, and redirects SystemUI.apk to use alternate icons. If you have used this edit and want to use the signal icons, you will have to change the names of the files appropriately.
2.) The battery icons are only for those who have incorporated the % battery mod either from StolenVW here or by another method.
3.) The signal icons will look odd if you choose to use them and don't also incorporate the attached modified xml. Essentially, this xml has been edited such that the signal type/in-out icon overlaps with the signal strength icons as such:
I did this mainly because I hate wasted space, and think it's unnecessary to have two icon slots just for signal when at one point they used to overlap in stock android. To adopt this xml edit, just use 7zip to right click/"open archive" SystemUI.apk, and drag and drop the xml into res/layout. It is already compiled, so should work fine. Obviously, before putting SystemUI.apk back onto your phone, you'll need to set proper permissions and whatnot. If you don't know how, please turn back or ask someone (or me) first before ruining your fabulous new phone (although recovery with Odin posted by AdamOutler here works fantastically well, just fyi).
SO, take a look at the icons, take whatever you want., edit whatever you want, use however you like! They are organized into the folders of the apks where they belong, so you can use them as a guide for where to put them if you want to adopt the look. These apks include:
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
NfcNci.apk
The attached xml for clustering the signal type/in-out/strength belongs in SystemUI.apk/res/layout. It is compiled, so you should be able to use 7zip to right click on your SystemUI.apk, "open archive," and just drag and drop it into your SystemUI.apk.
Hope you find something you like!
Beautiful set of icons mate, it would be a good idea to set a whole UI based on your style ala vrtheme.
This truly is, I just need to find a thin clock font mod to match it!

While these aren't my style and I'm far from a minimalist - I'm not going to show you my home screens for fear you may damage your monitor by throwing something at it - but I can definitely appreciate all the hard work you've put into this! Excellent job with this, and for everyone else, make sure you give this user a thanks even if you don't use these icons just because of how awesome they are!
Please make this into a systemui.apk. im sure a lot of people on this forum would really appreciate it. Thank you!!!

Wow, thanks guys! I would love to make it flashable, but I have no idea how. In addition, I wouldn't mind posting a SystemUI.apk, but at this point, everyone seems to have additional mods, so I wouldn't be able to include them without wiping their other mods out as well.
As far as quick setting icons, I didn't make additional ones to match, but I did make the whole pulldown menu minimalist white/black, just because:

I will post a vrtheme zip file with your icons as soon as I have time, ni batt icons though, since that would require modding of systemui.apk therefirr making it incompatoble across devices/roms. Vrtheme will only replace pngs.
VrTheme Stencil
This one should work ok on all S4 variants.
It includes all stencil icons except the battery percentaje ones (again, those xmls mods have to be compiled along the apk in order for them to work reading the pngs). The rest of pngs are there including your xml file (which should apply properly by just flashing this mod)
Since its a vrtheme flashable zip file, it should be compatible with all i950x TW ROMs, it shouldnt modify any mods existing in your current systemui (except for the notifications, obviously)
Enjoy!
Love the icons. Great job. Any chance you have or could make one for the USB connected and Location/GPS icons? And the driving icon as well?
Thanks again for sharing.

Ok, I was just wondering....
Love the simplicity of these. Well done.
is there anyway we could get a flashable systemui.apk for l337 ATT models? I absolutely love these but Im having trouble figuring out how to apply them.
Thanks for your design. They are beautiful!
I thought someone might be interested to see what my screen looks like with these icons. I had a transparent status bar set up prior, but I went back to black. Oh, and I like to have my buttons down the right side of the phone as I'm right handed. I don't know whomever thought having a dock at the bottom of the screen as default made much sense. It makes calling and doing quick email checks much easier to have it on the right or left depending on your style.
These really are beautiful icons.
Yeah, one last time. I do actually live in Morehead.
They look great on your homescreen! So glad you like them!
As I said, in regards to making a flashable SystemUI.apk, I don't know how, but anyone who does is welcome to do whatever he or she wants with these icons!
It would be amazing to make a CM 10 theme for it! I may take a crack at making one for these icons

I'm fairly new to actually "cooking" roms, and in no way am I a developer, but I thought I'd contribute to a fairly slow developing community, just throw something somewhat different out there, a twist. I don't need the crap about not being original, no one wants to hear it. I'm aware of what I am posting, and that it is based off of another ROM. I am in no way calling this an original ROM. Please, don't hesitate to make comments or suggestions, or even to contribute something more. I'll gladly take advice and help from the community to better the ROM
I will also take requests for other themes to be ported to CR_Mod, but keep in mind that I am attending school, and that I have a life, and that this is a side project and it might take awhile to get through requests.
This ROM is based off of CR_Mod 1.35.531.1 OTA, so you MUST be rooted in order to flash this ROM. You can find out how to root your MyTouch Slide by reading the respective thread in the Slide Android Development section.
Almost all of the credit here goes to ChiefzReloaded, who originally gave us the rooted OTA stock ROM, MiguelTheRocker, who ported themes from other devices to CyanogenMod, which gave me the idea for this, and of course, MRagu, who originally made the AndroGreen theme.
Also thanks to TrueBlue_Drew for giving me TONS of advice and pointers while working with the theming obstacles.
Here is a full list of the modifications I made + the changelog:
12/19/10 Original
-Removed AmazonMP3 (honestly who uses that?)
-Deodexed
-Did my best to port the GreenSlide theme
-Added ADWLauncher (Don't worry, I didn't remove the Sense UI; see below for more info on that, minor glitch)
12/20/10 Revision 1
-Made minor color changes in the browser to match the theme
-More thoroughly ported GreenSlide (notification bar and its icons are now GreenSlide, UI is significantly more green now)
-Replaced HtcMusic and MyTouchMusic with MusicMod (the one that's in cyanogenmod, it's much sexier.)
12/21/10 Revision 2
-Fixed 9patch glitches (let me know if you find any, like buttons or text fields being stretched or distorted)
-Replaced HTC IME and Swype with the Gingerbread keyboard (I can't edit the secure android settings file without a platform certificate or something rather, so dragon dictation is set as the default on first boot, so the first time you enter text just longpress on the input field, input method, and gingerbread keyboard. If anyone knows a workaround or a way to set the default system keyboard, the help would be most appreciated)
-Even MORE thoroughly ported GreenSlide, the stock HTC apps and interfaces should either have the GreenSlide framework elements or at LEAST be green instead of blue. The only things that I know are still blue are the progress bar, and the big buttons in the MyModes app, the ones where you select change mode or change theme, and the ones where you select the widgets to be placed on the home screens.
-Added the circle battery meter (I love that thing )
-[12-25-10] Added flip window animations (If you already downloaded the ROM, there is a flashable update to add the animations [6:45 PM PST]
Issues:
-Default new SMS icon is still the old notification theme, white on solid black, so it doesn't look quite right against the gradient notification bar. Same thing with the USB icon. Still looking for the location of those two icons
-Default input method is not GB keyboard (if that's even a fixable issue)
-Browser loading progress bar has a 9patch glitch, will post an update tonight Fixed with the flashable update attached to this post. You need to flash this only if you downloaded revision 2 before 11:15 PM PST 12/22/2010. I integrated the browser fix and reuploaded it, so if you have not downloaded revision 2 yet, you don't need to flash this. (I tried to decompile the APK and edit the 9patch and then recompile it, but for whatever reason, there are framework resources missing, at least according to apktool, so it won't properly recompile the apk. So, I had to leave the progress bar blue. BUT the rest of the icons are still green. Sorry!)
I also attached a flashable update that will revert your battery icon to the regular icon, if you don't like the circle one.
Still to do:
-Live wallpapers (I'll probably just end up implementing this into the current revision, rather than bother with a separate one. For those of you that have already downloaded and are running this, I'll post a link to a flashable zip for live wallpapers, it'd be too much of a pain in the ass to flash a whole new rom just for live wallpapers) Attached a flashable zip to this post titled LWP.zip, but you ONLY need to flash this if you downloaded the full ROM before 5:55 PM PST 12/24/2010. I integrated the flashable zip into the full ROM and reuploaded it, so if you are just downloading, you don't need to flash the zip.
DOWNLOAD & INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download both of the files in this folder to the root of your SD card (the archive is for older versions, no need to download anything in that folder)
2. The GreenSlide Addons is a zip that contains LauncherPro icons and dockbar background, as well as wallpapers and a themed fancy widget to match the theme. Use it if you'd like by extracting and selecting manual shortcut and dockbar images in LauncherPro, which you can download from the market.
3. Reboot into clockwork recovery, and flash CR_Mod-Deodexed-GreenSlide-signed.zip
4. If you'd like, download dumfuq's OC kernel here, remember to edit your init.d files, or you might not boot. (I have found that the OC kernel actually increases battery life while sleeping, but it does drain quicker while awake. It makes everything really smooth though)
5. Use, you should be good to go
OPTIONAL: etu_aty provided this link for more mymodes themes if you'd like them, but they will override the green theming I did to the stock HTC apps (I won't include them in the ROM because they add 20 MB to a ROM that's already tight on space).
MORE INFO:
ADW Launcher info: For some reason, HTC Sense has itself set as the default launcher on first boot, so you have to go into Setings>Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense>Clear Defaults and then press your home button and select ADW Launcher to use ADW.
I initially was just going to do this for myself, because I hated the battery life issues on CM6.1.1, but I loved the theming I had on it. But, I also loved the battery life and 2d animation speed and quality on Sense ROMs, they never lagged with window animations and such, but I disliked the inability to theme. So I thought, why not try and combine the two? I also thought why not give it to the community, contribute, even if it isn't anything too special, you know? It's not an original ROM but it has some cool things like the GB keyboard and of course, the awesome theme, that I thought I'd share it.

I couldn't change the notification bar without making it glitch up, I'm still working on that. Also for some reason in certain htc apps, like contacts and settings, their theme still shows up for buttons. Basically, occasionally you'll see an occasional blue button or something, rather than the greenslide ones, but for almost everything it's themed. Like the dialer is still totally htc, as well as the contacts app for example. I will probably spend some time tonight working on getting it more completely themed, first priority is the notification bar, since that is only barely themed. When I get more work done on it I will post a flashable zip that will just replace the things I changed so that you don't have to go through a whole new wipe and reflash and resetup again. As for your facebook question, it syncs to your contacts but differently. You can't use the market facebook to sync, you have to use Facebook for MyTouch, which is built in. Then it links facebook friends to your contacts through the contacts app. You can also manually link facebook friends to your contacts by pressing link. When I'm done with this I may also port blackslide, or whatever the really black one that miguel ported is.
As for the dialer and other htc apps, I may be able to theme up settings, but probably not the dialer, it would screw it up to replace it with the stock android one I'm pretty sure.
I'll post a new full rom as well as an update zip when I get more work on it done tonight

This sounds (and looks) very cool. It's just what the CR_OTA needs. I think I'll flash and try this out. I'll report back and let Arayray know if you know what you're doing, as this is still Espresso.
Cheers, MusicMan.

Thanks! I still have a bit of work to do with the notification bar and possibly other HTC apps to make them more reminiscent of the theme, I'll post an update probably later today
Looking forward to it. This is great work.
Suggestions only if you're up for it: only thing I can think of is remove more stock apps. Too many open up on their own and run in the background frequently and are known to drain battery (in all roms). Other than that, I don't even need to tell you anything else. You got it pretty much covered.
I'm thinking this should be added to the Rom Bible.

Yeah I may take a shot at that again, but last time I tried that with some of the widgets, sense kept crashing because it couldn't open the widgets. When I froze calendar with titanium the phone wouldn't sleep because calendar sync was on, glitching everywhere. I'll take another shot, maybe remove some of the redundant music apps and include the musicmod app instead. Thanks for the input.
Update for everything else, themed up the browser to be a bit more green with the buttons, rather than the blue. No luck with the dialer, no matter how much I screw with the images it just won't display the images. Also, there is ONE notification icon that is still stock, the rest have been changed to GreenSlide. For whatever reason, the USB data icon is still white w/black background stock icon, you'll know what I'm talking about when I post the update. I just have to work on changing the text color of notification items and it should be ready to upload. I still have not figured out the stock HTC apps themes, I keep editing their individual drawable-mdpi folders, but they aren't effective when I push and reboot. It must be taking them from something else that I haven't found yet. Somehow it's retaining its own theming. I will post the work that I have in a little bit though. I will continue to look for the theming of the stock apps, it must be in some funky location.
Great job Musicman n_n
oh and another thing, since this is a espresso rom i dont know if you guys have all the themes (my modes) but i managed to get them from a thread somewhere and i removed the bubbles in the desktop and the drawer from all of them (i hate those freaking bubbles) if you want me to post them just tell me.. i have bubbles and no bubbles, i think there is 18 themes apk.. so you know, just let me know if you want them n_n

What exactly are you referring to, bubbles? And I didn't remove the themes, so yes they're there. I'm almost finished, just having a bit of trouble finding the XML files that specify the color of the text for the notifications themselves, they are black by default. Once I figure that out I'll upload. Then I'll get some work done hopefully with the stock app theming, that's next.

Oh yeah okay I see. Huh. Well this actually gave me a little bit more context to what I was doing. The default "nest" theme is the one I was actually editing when I was editing framework-res and such. If you change the mymode theme, it modifies a lot of the changes I made. But if you change it back to nest, it goes back. Interesting. This might actually help a lot with the issues I'm having with stock HTC apps.

Directions To Apply
*If this is not your first time using a morph of mine, just morph right over top of the previous.
No need to delete your current apk on your sd card, not even the signed one.
Only do so if you are having problems.*
*Open up your chosen file explorer. Navigate to \data\app\ and locate the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk ( If you choose to use Es you will have to go into Settings>Tick Root Explorer Box)
*Copy the Swype apk to the root of your sdcard. (The theme will only take if the apk is in the root.)
*Go to Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme"
*Navigate to wherever you downloaded your chosen theme to. (If you downloaded from the Xda App, it will be located in /sdcard/tapatalk_download/ I have Xda Premium and this is where mine is located)
*You will be presented with a preview and you may now choose "Apply All". Congrats! You have themed your Swype. Now onto signing and install!
*You Must sign the zip or else you will get constant force closes. Thats where ZipSigner2 helps. So let's open that up.
*Push the "Choose In/Out" button at the top and find the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in the root of your sd card.
*Your output should now read /sdcard/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1-signed.apk
*Leave the key mode on "auto-testkey" and Sign The File.
*Before going further, you should make a backup of your data with Titanium Backup or your preserver program of choice. This will collect your personal dictionary for late use. Now uninstall Swype (not the Installer, This step is not mandatory but is recommended to prevent any errors so just do it : ) )
*Using your file explorer, now install the signed swype. (There will be two on your sdcard. The themed one and the themed signed one. Make sure you install the one with "-signed.apk" at the end. If you choose the other one, you WILL get force closes)
*Go to the "Swype Installer" program and activate and choose swype.
*The final and most CRUCIALLLLLLLL step of them all.......ENJOY!
Known Errors With MetaMorph
The most common problem that you might face is getting a "The theme you have selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing or is not correctly written." when you are extracting a theme. This is not a problem with my themes but with MetaMorph. Though it gives you an error and close, it still extracted the theme. Just go back into MetaMorph, (it will likely crash), go back into it and then hit "Pick Existing Theme" at the bottom. Find the folder name of the theme you just extracted and apply as normal.
For some reason the preview doesn't show if you extract a theme and immediately apply it. It only shows when you already extracted and then choose under "Pick Existing Theme". Not a big issue but these are the two known bugs pertaining to Metamorph.
Requests & Formats
Taken requests and ideas. Any of the Series can be modded to a specific color. If you want a custom color give me a sample. An HTML code, hex, sumthn 'kay. Refer to the following rough draft image to see the different aspects that may be themed. (I know its a bit jarringly bright but i was working on a girly theme when i uploaded it). If you do submit a request, please list the five colors and their corresponding titles. All requests are not guaranteed to be completed but I do promise to try.

I was actually really reluctant to do a red one. Its my least favorite color but I do think they came out nicely. Which red one do you prefer? Scarlet or Danger?

I would keep all of them especially the red ones. Because of the Red Venom theme that these would match up nicely. Especially with CM on the way with Theme Chooser there will be high demand for all kinds of colors matching with different themes

Okay I'm definitely a girl but that's okay : P This is the way I was headed. Let me know what you want to see as far as background and other keys. I feel like the background was lacking so i added a little bit of transparency.
My bad that does make sense now with your name and pinkish/purple colored avatar.
That looks good. Can you do one with no white outlines around the letters?
Will do. No outlines is easy. So I should keep that gray looking background? I just did that one real quick to show. Swype has 19 layouts don't wanna get midway in and have to make a drastic change lol.
How's that? I can get the portrait part up tonight if it's a go. Landscape will have to wait until tomorrow.
Yea that's badass. That's a keeper
Lockscreen rings? Anyone? I've been playing with editor and had little success.

Yeah, +1. It would be wonderful to get custom lockscreen rings on the Flyer. Just one question though: What editor are you talking about, @Ryno_666?
I'm planning on it. I have a lock ring thread in the EVO 3D section. I just got the Wi-Fi only Flyer yesterday and I really haven't had much time to play with it. I just hope the apks that need to be edited are able to be decompiled with m10 tools.

Just an update in case anyone cares, I've finally been able to get into some of the apks to see what I can find and it looks like I'll be able to make some rings. The apks are not built the same as the ones I'm used to, so give me some time to play with them and see what I can do.
I'm playing with the stock Wi-Fi only from Best Buy ROM - 1.36.1540.32. I don't know whether or not it will end up working for other ROMs.

Have you been able to get the default shared.m10 file in fusion to compile? (After decoding the images) ..thats where the lockring is. An alternative would be to edit the lockring in the m10 files for the bluesky or burgondy htc skins (these are also in fusion.apk) and then switch to that htc skin to see the changes.

I've been able to get everything to compile properly, at least that's what it looks like, but anytime I move it to the device I'm left without a lockscreen (no images on the screen, just the wallpaper with no way to unlock). Even with simple 1 image edits not related to the lockscreen, just in the fusion.apk.
There are actually several places that the lock ring image is present, in several different sizes. It's hard to tell which is being used. I've found lock ring images in multiple m10 files within fusion.apk, Idlescreen_Base.apk, and Idlescreen_shortcut.apk.
A personal goal of mine with this is to remove the lockscreen shortcuts. I know how to get it done, but I just can't seem to get anything to take. I suppose this could mean that m10 tools is not yet compatible. I just don't understand why it looks as if the apks/m10 files are compiling properly if they're not.

I think the images in idlescreen base are only for when there's action on the lockscreen (music playing..), the main lockring is in the default m10 file in fusion (2 images, one for lock rest and one for unlock) the other rings you see in fusion are for the htc skins. After testing a while back I found that the only file that m10 editor has trouble with is the default m10 file. Lee said he was planning on taking a look at the editor and hopefully come up with a fix. But if not, Daimondback has been working on rebuilding m10tools for some time now and i mentioned this issue to him about a month ago.

This is unrelated, sort of, but I hate starting a new thread to ask a question.
Does anyone know if the Flyer is using the mdpi files or the hdpi files? I've been messing with UOT and choosing hdpi and everything I've been making is looking oversized or not being themed at all. Most of the apks I've looked in have mdpi files as well as hdpi. A few have only mdpi.

The flyer uses mdpi. You can try using a theme porter script that has hdpi to mdpi toggle (search for theme porter script).

When you modified how did you keep image? I still get partials but they stick I too am in fusion apk only.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
This is still a work in progress and I feel like it should be way easier but this is what I did. Also, I did not make any changes to the properties of the m10 files, this is only image editing so far...
1. Use apktool to decompile fusion.apk
2. Open M10Editor.exe and drag the m10 file you want to decompile to it (I started with the shared.10 in /Default/drawable)
3. The dialog box will say "M10 successfully loaded!" and there may be a Close button or a Cancel button underneath. Either way click the button to close the dialog box.
4. Go the the m10 Files tab and highlight the only file shown.
5. Check the Decode Images check box and click Decompile/Show button.
6. Once it decompiles and moves you to the Editor tab, close M10Editor.exe.
7. Look back in the /Default/drawable folder and there will be a new folder called "shared".
8. Go through the shared folder and make the edits you'd like. Don't change the dimensions of any of the files (eg. if its 289x288, leave it 289x288)
9. Once you're done use command prompt to compile. Make sure you cd to the m10 tools folder before attempting any commands. Here are the the commands I used...
Code:
m10encoder C:\Users\[I]my name[/I]\Desktop\fusion\assets\Default\drawable\shared C:\Users\[I]my name[/I]Destktop\fusion\assets\Default\drawable\shared.10
10. This will replace the shared.m10 file in /Default/drawable.
11. Delete the shared folder.
12. Use apktool to compile the apk. (I did the same stuff to the shared.10 in /Default/drawable_land before compiling. You should be able to do the same to the BlueSky and Burgundy folders.)
I used adb to push the fusion.apk to my phone. To remove the shortcuts I made the icon holder transparent while editing. Once the apk was on my Flyer, I downloaded an app I didn't care about and set each shortcut to that. Then I deleted the app. Shortcuts gone.
It doesn't look like Idlescreen_Base.apk needs to be edited but I could be wrong.
Did this to a T but would not replace the shared.m any ideas?

I can't say I know what the difference between my setup and yours is, but it seems your not the only one having the issue. I've been able to edit the fusion.apk this way, but not the Idlescreen_Base.apk. Still having trouble figuring out the trick as of right now.
I'm starting this thread as a place for themers to exchange tricks they've learned, also to exchange information. The intent is not to become a "how to decompile ICS" thread.. they are all over if you just search. I'll start it off as an example:
For doing mass .9.png edit ssuch as replacing a color, I found the easy way is a comination of Adobe bridge with Photoshop
For example:
say i want to change all red elements into blue
open your first image in photoshop
create a action with the commands(just a example) Adjust to RGB -> select color range 'reds' -> adjust hue (set to your version of blue you want)->save->close ... say i name action "change"
now in bridge nav to folder where the images are you want to change in the same manner
select all the images you want to run the action on
tools>photoshop>batch
select the "change action" and volla....
another way ive used this is by replacing "select color range'reds'" and again select color range>sample the black edge, so the black border is selected.. followed by select inverse .. this will then select all but the border and adjust hue of the whole image w/o messing the the border
Tip: if youre trying to rotate multiple images and are using Windows 7, Ctrl+A to hightlight them all and right click to choose "Rotate Clockwise" or Counterclockwise.
Tip: If your not liking how a .9.png is stretching a image.. look in your sdk tools, there should be one called draw9patch... It's a java app to edit a .9.pngs stretching...(I just recently discovered this)
Up until finding this, I would push images I want to stretch uniformly via zip 7 after compiling..obviously poor practice to do any work later on

Thanks, the theme I'm wanting to do involves some beveled edges on the various status bars and such. Stretching along the vertical edge would be fine but trying to pull the whole image would distort the top and bottom bevels. I'll have to look into this because I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to do what I wanted to do without the ability to control this.
Now I gotta experiment with whether a .9 image can exist where there wasn't one in the original build.

Just download the rom you want to theme on your pc and open with 7zip, most files are in system/framework and system/app, No pulling files from phone needed.
To push them back just download any random theme .zip and replace the files with your themed files

Here is a blank zip you can use to flash your theme, just make sure you put the right apks in the right folders i.e SystemUI,apk goes in system/app/ and framework-res.apk goes in system/framework.

This is a tutorial on how to do very little and get a lot by replacing the .9 pngs with broken .9 pngs applying to the tabs and title dividers.
This comes about by mistake. I broke a .9 and it didn't cause any fc's or any other errors.
I'm sharing because, well, because you know I love to, but also because it's an easy way to make a decent impact on your look.
Feel free to use any of the images however you like. If you end up with a theme to share, awesome I'll look forward to trying it. I won't have any user submitted sections here so you'll need your own thread.

1. From Root Explorer, long press and choose extract and "go to"
2. Navigate to 'example'.zip/vrtheme/system/ and then apps, framework and priv-app and on to the first png,
●I start with apps/ClockPackage_OSup.apk/res/drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi
3. Longpress png and send to photo editor
●You can edit how you like but don't change the size or name
●Make sure to overwrite the current png
●Do this for every folder
4. Zip back up
●You can rename the zip
●You can change the ui_print in updater-script;
- navigate to META-INF/com/google/android
- longpress updater-script and open with Text Editor
- Change only between the quotations in the first line = ui_print("ONLY WRITE IN HERE")
- Save and delete updater-script.bak
5. Done
Thanks to @Surge1223 for the zip.

Yes. I'm looking for a photo editor that will save the pic to the same place. Most I've found create a new file. I'll elaborate on the "from phone" as soon as I find one. Do you know of one?
The steel size confused me. But it's a simple gradient effect. With the resized pngs the sizes will depend on the quality of the image. As good as the steel looks, imo, the actual pic is low quality.

Yes. I'm looking for a photo editor that will save the pic to the same place. Most I've found create a new file. I'll elaborate on the "from phone" as soon as I find one. Do you know of one?
The steel size confused me. But it's a simple gradient effect. With the resized pngs the sizes will depend on the quality of the image. As good as the steel looks, imo, the actual pic is low quality.

Oh, ok...I gotcha. Try THIS APP out. It will allow you to easily "save as" or will also allow you to overwrite. Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not...if it isn't, let me know exactly what you need it to do and I'm sure I'll find you something!!
@calebcabob perfect. That is exactly what I needed. I'll need to get into it but it looks like it has plenty of features. I use picsay but it saves by folder name and I have to guess if it the right ""360dp"" folder. This one let's me overwrite and I was able to do it from the phone. I'll elaborate on the tutorial as I can. Thanks

Finally got to updating this. I added the from phone tutorial. You will need a lot of time to do it from phone, so maybe on a long trip or at work
I also added a template zip with settings buttons. It allows you to just have one button as apposed to switches.
Also added a homescreen icon template and example.
Templates and screenshots moved to 2nd post.

I've added some zips with hardkey and popups darkened and colored in the third post. No tutorial on those but you can use them to help complete your look. Background xmls will be added too in flashable zips.
If you have a request for a background or menus don't hesitate to ask.

Did this today waiting for oil change. Took about 15 minutes but I only applied a color replace effect to get the wood bluish. But then I saw it made it more green than blue lol.
