(Q) How can I remove parts of a theme? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I tried removing some icons from the cobalt theme, I don't really like the new phone, contacts, and camera icon I get when I flash. I extracted the theme, but When I zipped the theme after I removed the icons and tried flashing again, it failed. Do I need to do something special to get it to flash successfully?

Change Theme

Sorry guys
i have 435 Firmware and baseband 54, and a theme on it (2.1 Theme Green Glow) - now i want a other theme - what i must do - only flash over the old - or all new?
thx - sorry for my bad english
The only problem I can think of with just writing over the old theme is if the new theme does not have a modded battery & reboot option and the old one does then I'm not really sure how the icons would appear or if the phone would even run properly.
But if the new theme has either reboot or battery mod or both you should be ok.
Install via xRecovery.
as usual, do a backup, and apply through xrecovery.
A theme replaces /adds various system app and usually the framework-res.apk. You shouldn't suffer any data loss. But depending on the theme, you might loose some functionalities like 180° rotation (Cyanogen based themes).

Mod - Beastmod v2 transparent status bar

I cooked up a little transparency for the status bar and pull down notifications/quicksettings in UOT kitchen. It is not a theme that substantially changes anything about the stock ROM. It is simply for those that enjoy wallpaper with transparency.
Instructions:
Have BeastMod ROM installed - V2.01 tested.
Download zip to your SDcard.
Reboot into Recovery.
Select zip file and install.
Reboot.
Disclaimer...
Flash at your own risk. Be smart. Backup before flashing.

Is this transparent status bar compatible with HD Revolution ROM.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure it would work there. If you tried it, and did not like it, or it didn't work, you should be able to re-install the ROM over itself and get your old status bar back.
One thing I am sure of, this would replace the icons on your current status bar to the BeastMod icons.

[Q] Help with UOT Kitchen, Icons keep flip flopping from stock to theme

I have tried this with a few different framework & system apks. Im on power_rom evergreen. I tried this with stock evergreen apks, the older power_rom apk, the stock deodexed 407 apks, and even the theme Vantastic glow apks.
The vantastic glow theme flashes on my phone and works great. I dont know why my theme wont work.
Heres the problem, everything changes even the icons, BUT when the phone is not using any data the signal icon changes back to the stock one from that framework & system apk that I used. And when data is used it changes back to the theme icon.
How do I make it so it stays on the theme icon I picked.
In the kitchen I changed to this- "Amend scripting. Old scripting, compatible with old recoveries. Use this if you having problem with flashing (no changes, error 0) or have not HTC Desire phone"
everything else I left alone,
I uploaded both files frame & system
it cooks & flashes fine.
I wiped the dilvak & catch partitions.
WHAT AM I MISSING?????
about phone: I have a aws, with power rom evergreen, kernel=2.6.35.14-gxkernel1.0, baseband= gausb1a140514-aws, android version 2.3.3
Please help..
Attached is the latest theme I made. based off the deodexed 407.
You probably aren't doing anything wrong. I had that problem when I used Kalagas animated (I think that was the name) for icons. It didn't have icons for that particular data state, so the stock ones were used. I fixed it manually in my theme.
Take a look at this theme:
http://www.multiupload.com/1V0DU6AD2S
It's one I made for gingerbread roms. If these are the icons you are talking about, rebuild your theme on UOT and use my framework-res and systemui as your base. The icons are already fixed in it and your changes will overwrite whatever I had in there.
Thanks I will
Sorry just seen this post I will try that
Thank-you
I don't know if they are all like this or not. I only recall having three problem with this pack. I don't remember the exact process i used, but basically i unpacked the mdpi and hdpi folders out of the apk's, found the offending png files and noted their names. I found other icons that could take their place (in this case it was one of the animated icons), copied them and gave them the same name as the offending icons. I overwrote the offending icons with the new ones and everything was good to go.

[Q] SystemUI screwed up

After attempting the OGBatteryMod, my phone now has a black background, no notification bar, and no settings app. I am guessing there is a problem with SystemUI.apk and SecSettings.apk so I tried to reinstall them. However android fails to install them. The phone is rooted using exynos abuse. I have searched around and apparently this can be caused by flashing custom ROMS but I have done no such thing. A system restore might be necessary, but I would prefer not to if possible. Any help would be great!
FIX: Moved .apk files from folder "og" to system/app using root explorer. Mods: please remove this if needed

Stock Theme and images

Hello,
After Unlocking my device, and formatting / uncrypting Data partition, I lost the stock theme.
And I liked the lockscreen images.
I didn't manage to find a way to get them back, despite my multiple attempts.
I didn't find them on the "Theme" app. I even tried to extract form stock firmware, but didn't find the theme/images inside.
Any idea how to get back the stock theme, with lockscreen images ?
It's a little problem, as I managed to root / TWRP / Xposed my device successfully.
I'm really happy with it !
