Tutorial on customizing theme
How to customize a Theme -
Here is a simple tutorial on how can you customize an already ported theme (I thought of customizing a theme beacuse I like some icons of one theme and some of another , then why not make a customized theme which is a mix of icons ( or you can say .pngs ) from different themes
What all you need
1. WinRar
2. Base theme which you want to customize
3. And all the themes using which you will be customizing your theme ( base theme )
Now
1. extract framework-res.apk of your base theme
2. extract framework-res.apk of another theme
3. Now check drawable-ldpi folder of the base theme and find out all the .pngs you want to change ( like battery , title bar , lock screen , network signal etc etc.)
4. Replace these icons with the icons of another theme
5. check drawable-mdpi of the base theme ( you will have to check this folder for android and rotatory locks ) and find out the icons you want to change.
6. Replace them with the icons of another theme.
7. Repeat step 1 to 6 for twframework-res.apk file and change the icons using another theme.
8. In the End open framework-res.apk ( and twframework-res.apk ) with winrar.
9. Add the modified folders ( drawable-ldpi or drawable-mdpi ) into framework-res.apk ( or twframework-res.apk) respectively.
This is what I have found (while customizing the HTC theme ). If anyone wants to add ( or modify ) some steps, feel free to do so.
Screenshots ?
Can you add white backgroud in notification (like orginal htc) instead of transparent because some notifications (for example from player pro have black or grey font color so they aren't visible)

[Q] change the background Toggle the status bar notifications

Hi
Very please help
The rom 4.1.2 I could using winrar for simple to change png to another png
Now I'm on 4.4.2 (DittoNote 5.2).
I want to change the png (tw_quick_panel_quick_setting_button_bg_normal.9 ???)
I think it is png a background toogles
I change my png i using winrar but nothing changes.
It is still the old png and no new png.
For what is this happening?
png's ending with 9 are not ordinary png's, they are 9-patch png's and in order to edit them you must DECOMPILE the APK, edit and then RECOMPILE. Anyway, simple adding with winRAR is nota good idea if you don't do ZIPALIGN because it slows down the reading of images....
Ah, and why post a question in app section, isn't Q&A more logical choice?
So I should do this in the Q & A - my mistake.
Ok thanks for the information.
delanik - this is just an example:
I'm trying to change the png in Note 5.2 Ditto 4.4.2
Is the file is tw_quick_panel_quick_setting_button_bg_normal.9 is background switches?
I exchange tw_quick_panel_quick_setting_button_bg_normal.9 another png
with another theme rom Note 2 but nothing has changed.
As I said - pngs with 9 at the end CAN'T be edited without recompiling. Use APKTOOL to decompile APK, then edit, then RECOMPILE. Then from recmpiled APK, copy PNGs (or whole res\drawable folder) to original APK.
If it doesn't change (and it should even when you don't do recompile - it should show BAD image) then you are not editing correct image.
Thank you very much dalanik
I SystemUi decompile framework-res.apk and now the rom DN4 v2.
It will be very difficult for me because there is a lot of files QMG
There is no custom QMG files (icons, button ....) in other roms or themes
to replace them in my rom DN4 v2
