Hi all,
It is a simple question, I would to know if the ME301T uses HDPI resolution for system icons or MDPI.
I want to make some mod in the status bar, settings menu... but I don't know wich icons to replace or mod.
Thank's!

To be sure, between mdpi and hdpi:
- in SystemUI\res\drawable-mdpi, change asus_ep_icon_autobrightness_off.png and asus_ep_icon_autobrightness_on.png
- in SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi, change asus_ep_icon_setting.png and asus_ep_icon_setting_pressed.png
and see which one make a difference.
(for hdpi use hdpi folder!)
For SystemUI, icons are in \res\drawable, \res\drawable-mdpi, \res\drawable-nodpi, \res\drawable-sw600dp-mdpi and \res\drawable-sw720dp-mdpi
For battery, don't forget system\framework\framework-res\res\drawable-mdpi
You can change icons in Settings.apk and Transformer.apk
Don't forget:
- make a backup before testing
- icons must have the same name, the same size and the same resolution
- at the end, use png Optimizer for a best result, especially if you work with Photoshop
- take care with 9.png
Have fun

I prefer desktop visualizer.It's free and has an option where the app forbids the system to change to the default action (it happens if you change the htc sense message icon,or the email icon).
I am making a ROM. And I'm trying to change the stock icons. I've tried every posssible way but i just can't change them. I'm trying to theme Holo Launcher with custom icons. The icons I have are hdpi. So i don't know how to turn them to mdpi. Is there any way i can turn it to mdpi on my PC. And what are the icons supposed to be renamed as well as which directory am i supposed to place them.
No need to convert

Yeah, they are normally grey at StockROM. If you want to have the normal statusbar, like on the Nexus, I can advise you CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid or SuperNexus. These are CustomROMs and built by the Source Code of Google, that means that these CustomROMs have nothing to do with Samsung.
When you want to stay at StockROM (Samsung's preinstalled ROM/Firmware) I can advise you to root your phone, flash Philz Recovery and cook your SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and TouchWizUI.apk on UOT-Kitchen (the description is on the mainsite)... UOT Kitchen is a site where you can replace some elements of the design.
Your warranty will be lost at both things!
BACKUP THESE APKs BEFORE APPLYING THAT! WHEN YOU DON'T BACKUP THESE FILES YOU MUST REFLASH YOUR STOCKROM TO GET THE NORMAL DESIGN BACK!!!

Status bar autodimming solution
Hi, guys!
The solution is simple:
Decompile SystemUI.apk
Navigate to res/values/dimens.xml
You'll find a dimen item called status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha
In Samsung roms you'll also have tw_status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha
The value is given in percentages. Android dims the icons by setting their transparency (usually to 65%, Samsung - to 50%)
Increase the number and the dimming will go away.
Note that increasing it to 100% will make them a tad too bright. Use 100% only if using translucent status bar with bright BG.
Recompile and Enjoy
Where is this defined for SCH-I535?

Hi, can you advise the location of this xml in the Verizon S3 SystemUI.apk? Or if it's an entirely different setting outside of the apk? I can't find the path you mentioned. Thanks.
Did you decompile it? How much of the path did you follow?

I don't see \values in the \res folder. Here's what mine looks like inside of \res:
anim
color
drawable
drawable-hdpi
drawable-sw360dp-xhdpi
drawable-sw600dp
drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi
drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi
drawable-sw800dp-xhdpi
drawable-xhdpi
layout
layout-land
layout-port
layout-sw600dp
layout-sw720dp
layout-sw800dp
menu
raw
xml
drawable does seem to contain the status bar xml's but none that look like they control the icon transparency. Any ideas? I'm on a custom ROM, but it is based on stock TW ROM, if that helps.
The folder is res > values then the file called dimens.xml
They are around row 25 but if you don't see the values folder then you haven't decompiled the apk, are you sure you know what to do
Haha, well I was "cheating" by using Root Explorer to extract, expecting to mod then zip and change .zip extension to .apk. If I need to properly decompile to see the dimens.xml, I'll use APKTool on the PC. Thanks.

Hmm, well I finally got around to doing this the right way with apktool (loaded both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk, decompiled, changed the status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha and tw_status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha values, then re-compiled), then copied the entire res folder and resources.arsc file from my modded apk back to the original using 7-zip, then pushed back to my phone. Still no change in shade of status bar icons. What could I be doing wrong?
Is it the status bar icons or the clock colour or both you want to change

It's the status bar icons, but I finally got this! The part of the guide talking about opening 7zip and dragging changed folders to the original apk structure wasn't working between 7zip windows because the RES folder wasn't overwriting the existing RES folder so it was failing and not telling me. Once I deleted the resources.arsc file and the RES folder from the original apk in 7Zip I could then drag those over. Closed it, pushed it rebooted and finally saw brighter icons on the left side! Many thanks to this forum, all the contributors, and of course all the developers that make all this cool stuff possible! Now on to deciphering the location of all my right side icons and replacing them with brighter versions to match.

Look in the SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi folder also the clock colour is in the SystemUI.apk\res\layout folder and the tw_status_bar.xml file on this row, changing the colour highlighted in red will change the clock colour, this as you probably know is white yours will probably be #ffa6a6a6 this is a mid to light grey,leave the initial #ff just change the last 6
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_clock_text_size" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:

Great stuff! Actually I can customize the battery icon and clock color through my ROM settings, but not the wi-fi/data/signal and ringer icons. I have to go to the drawable-xhdpi folder for that, but at least it doesn't require a full decompile/recompile to change out the .png's. Thanks for all the help!
I want to edit the icon of my status bar and I have three questions about this:
First: I have to edit the SystemUI.apk or the Framework-res.apk? (because in systemui i dont have battery icons, but yes wifi and etc); And in framework-res i have all the statusbar icons.
Second: I have to edit the .png images with patch 9.png or something?
Third: All the images to replace have to be exactly the same size of pixel? or 2 or 3 pixel more high or width doesnt matters?
If you can help me i will be really gratefull.
Sorry for my english
Yes they have to be the same size. There are no .9 pngs for the icons. And yes you have to edit them both

Hi everyone, hope i am posting this in
the right section..
Guys, my phone is Samsung Galaxy
Mini which is a ldpi device which now
runs on an ICS rom. I am trying to
change the color for the brightness
sliders and volume sliders.
Which .xml need to be edited to
change the colour..
I decompiled framework-res.apk and
changed hex color values under @id/
progress and @id/secondary progress
in "progress_horizontal.xml", also
changed colors of few pngs in
drawable-mdpi in framework,now the
progress seek bar has changed the
color,but brightness slider color
remains the same.
I then decompiled systemui.apk and
changed the hex color values under
@id/progress in
"adi_seekbar.xml",but nothing got
changed..
Can anyone help me? Which .xml is
associated with the seek bar for
brightness and volume slider? Or
should i deal with smali files to
change the color of brighntness slider
and volume slider..
If that brightness slider you're talking about is in status bar, then look for it's pngs in /res/drawable/ or any drawable folder

On CM9 and CM10 is quickpanel_brightness_bg.png for the bar and quickpanel_brightness_icon.png for the icon between the bar

Thanks for the reply So Quickpanel_brightness_bg changes the slider color or the background color?
Slider I think; background seems to be something like quickpanel_brightness_background.png

The xml files that control the progress bar color are theme-dependant and located inside the /res/drawable/ folder.
The names of the files are:
1. scrubber_progress_horizontal_dark.xml
2. scrubber_progress_horizontal_light.xml
In each of these files you'll find a layered list of png's which you'll have to edit to change the look of your progress bar. The last two, scrubber_primary_holo and scrubber_secondary_holo are what you're looking for.
You'll find these in /res/drawable-hdpi (usually). Galaxy Mini, being a LDPI device, it will firstly search for the pngs in drawable-ldpi, then if they're not present there, it will continue searching for the same pngs in the other folder in this order: mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi. Make sure you edit the pngs found in the folder which represents the lowest resolution possible.
One more thing, these being pngs, you can change the whole look of the slider, not just the color.
