I've been looking for ways on how to customize our carrier label but found none. Fortunately, I've found this great thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570956 which gave me the idea so I started modifying my device and I was able to customize it, so I decided to share it with you guys since this site has been a great help for a beginner like me. So here's how:
Requirements
1. Apktool
2. Notepad++ or any xml editor
**Since modifying this is so complicated, I attached the edited xml which will replace your current xmls.**
Download the attached zip and extract it.
Open strings.xml and find this line (its in the endline )
<string name="iamLinker">InsertYourTextHere</string>
change the text in red font to your desired text and save
Extract your SystemUI
move the following xmls to /res/layout -- look for layout-ldpi as well
status_bar_expanded.xml
tw_status_bar_expanded.xml
tw_status_bar_expanded_dual.xml
move the following xmls to /res/values
strings.xml
styles.xml
recompile and push the modified SystemUI.apk
then reboot.
And that's it! Don't forget to hit thanks if this helps!

Decompile using apk-tool. And edit accordingly.
After decompiling,
If its just simple image, editing PNG inside drawable folders should be sufficient.
If its text, you will have to find string inside res/values folder.

icons are not images/ pngs .
that was in android 5 and 5.1 . but now they are xml files.
example:
the location icon
Code:
there it creates the icon via
Code:
pathData="M24.0,4.0c-7.7,0.0 -14.0,6.3 -14.0,14.0c0.0,10.5 14.0,26.0 14.0,26.0s14.0,-15.5 14.0,-26.0C38.0,10.3 31.7,4.0 24.0,4.0zM24.0,23.0c-2.8,0.0 -5.0,-2.2 -5.0,-5.0s2.2,-5.0 5.0,-5.0c2.8,0.0 5.0,2.2 5.0,5.0S26.8,23.0 24.0,23.0z"
and set the height and width with the upper vector one.. ( vector android:height="17.0dip" android:width="17.0dip)
you can change the hex color #ffffff to what you want
i will test and tell you what you can do to change it into pngs images. (this will take a bit because of real life and work etc.. a bit busy)

Vector files are not stored but generated. You could try putting the custom png files you want in your applicable drawable folder (drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 for example) named exactly like the xml you are replacing (except it will end in . png obviously). Sometimes android looks first for png before it moves to the vector (drawable) folder.
WiFi is usually ic_qs_wifi_0.xml and ic_qs_wifi_full_0.xml from 0 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Bluetooth is ic_bluetooth_off.xml and one for on.
Airplane might be ic_signal_airplane_enable.xml and disable

I highly recommend tma always. If you just want to change the colors, yes use notepad ++ on the vector xml's themselves by changing the fill colors. If you have some png files in mind, try just renaming them, if necessary, to the same names as the vectors like I mentioned above and drop them in one of your drawable folders, xhdpi, xxhdpi and see if it works.
Edit: Unzip and see if these are named like yours. Drop them in a drawable folder. Recompile, put on your phone and see if they show up. They won't fit right but you'll know whether or not you can use pngs. Always make a backup first.

So, The files in the zip you gave me does not exist in png but in xml in systemUI.apk
My xml files have the same name as the png that you gave me.
As the png files does not exist in my systemUI.apk I take those you gave me and I put them in:
- systemUI / res / drawable-xxhdpi-v4
or
- drawable-xhdpi-v4 ?
Thank you for all this informations.
EDIT : For the size of the PNG in pixel, what dimension should it use ?

It doesn't matter where you add them.. I would place them into xxhdpi.
The dimensions of the icons is also not that important. In XML file it's 48dpi. If your icons are xhdpi it should be fine

Yes with original signature
Version of apktool = 2.2.1
I have already managed to change the icons with this same configuration and process.
I will go with a clean install of the phone, what do you think ?

ic_signal_airplane_disable, is this how your xml file is named? You didn't put "Airplane might be" in the name, did you?
Before decompiling, did you install your framework(s)?
Apktool 2.2.2 is the latest. You should update your TickleMyAndroid

Since I'm no longer updating my themes (at least for now) and I've been asked a few times, I'll provide a quick guide to changing the accent colours.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...ed-black-theme-accent-colour-options-t4051377
May do a full guide at some point in the future, but that would be quite long.
Huawei themes are just zip files but with ".hwt" file extension.
Apps I use:
*Note, you can use any similar apps that serve the same function, though I believe mixplorer is the best file manager especially for editing themes.
File Explorer (to edit the .hwt & .zip files).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixplorer.silver
*also note if you're using a different file manager you might have to add ".zip" to the theme.hwt e.g. theme.hwt.zip before you can open it, with mixplorer you don't.
Download:
iOmix-Temp.hwt
https://bit.ly/2M82lHT
Colour picker (to find the hex colour code of your choice).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jahirfiquitiva.pals
Vector image editor (to create the .png files).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shoebillsoftware.vectordraw
Download:
iOmix Theme Png Templates
https://bit.ly/2ZxJtdd
Includes .png & .svg use either as a template to create your own brightness & volume scrubbers these ideally should be the same accent colour that you use in the theme.xml
1. (Optional) Create a folder on your phone, call it whatever you want, I usually name it editing.
2. Copy the theme file (iOmix-Temp.hwt) to the folder.
3. Rename the theme file by adding ".zip" extension to the end "iOmix-Temp.hwt.zip"
*you can skip this if you're using mixplorer.
4. Open the zip and extract the following files to the editing folder:
com.android.contacts
com.android.systemui
framework-res-hwext
framework-res
5. Rename all files by adding ".zip" to the end
com.android.contacts.zip
com.android.systemui.zip
framework-res-hwext.zip
framework-res.zip
6. First we'll edit the theme.xml files in each of the files we extracted in step 5.
The process will be the same > replace 007DFE (this is a hex code without the #) with your own colour code (also without the #).
7. Editing theme.xml files
**Contacts.zip**
A. In the contacts zip open the theme.xml use the replace function to replace 007DFE with any other colour code *make sure [replace all] is selected.
B. Open framework-res-hwext folder > open theme.xml and repeat previous steps of replacing 007DFE with your preferred colour.
**Systemui.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
B. Framework-res > theme.xml
C. Framework-res-hwext > theme.xml
**Framework-res-hwext.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
B. Res > theme.xml
**Framework-res.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
8. Replacing the main .png files.
**Contacts.zip**
A. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > fastscroll_label_phonebook_emui_null_icon.png (needs to be 152*152 pixels)
**Systemui.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Framework-res-hwext > Res > drawable-xxhdpi > scrubber_control_normal_emui.png
(needs to be 98*98 pixels)
B. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > ic_seekbar_thumb.png
(needs to be 90*90 pixels)
**Framework-res-hwext.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > scrubber_control_normal_emui.png
(needs to be 98*98 pixels)
Finally you might want to rename the theme so you can find it in the Huawei theme manager app.
In the root of the theme zip there is a file called description.xml, open this file and change the title Theme title
Now remove the ".zip" from the files you renamed at the start:
com.android.contacts.zip
com.android.systemui.zip
framework-res-hwext.zip
framework-res.zip
Back to:
com.android.contacts
com.android.systemui
framework-res-hwext
framework-res
Copy the 4 files back into the theme.theme.hwt, If you used mixplorer then just copy the edited theme.theme.hwt back to your main themes folder
If you used a different file manager then remove the ".zip" extension from the theme.hwt then move to your main themes folder.
If you edited theme isn't showing in the Huawei themes manager, you might need to force stop it then reopen the app.
I hope this is clear enough.
Would be great if you share your edited theme here.
Let me know if there's any questions
***(This is a work in progress will be updated as time goes on)***

Hi Faisal,
To change the share sheet colour:
framework-res > theme.xml >
<color name="GM2_grey_800">#ff161616</color> (change to preferred colour)
In mixplorer you can use the code or text editor (I prefer the code).
If your editing the theme.xml in framework-res (for example) you first need to extract it from the theme.hwt, then add .zip = framework-res.zip then edit the xml inside
As for the other theme you're best asking the theme creator of that, not all themers use the same structure and this thread is just a quick guide to changing the accent colour since a few people have asked.
Maybe I'll do a longer guide at some point in future but right now I don't want to spend too much time on this.
