Hi there! Just wanna share..
Just a basic background on how to theme your ROMS. - ofcourse, give thanks to the developer of your ROMs! .
I made this thread for those users who have personal wishes for their Phones. Ofcourse, ROM developers cannot please all of its users. so just make your own and be happy!.
I just made it easy for easy understanding and for the newbies.
Tried so many times and tested
I've already tried editing the systemUI.apk of different ROMs.
Here's what I did :
FIRST : Download 7zip to open the archived apk. - that's free.
Extracting first the Zip File..
(make sure you copy the original before extracting it for back up)
1. Download the ROM.zip and extract it to your PC.
2. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\
3. View the PNG files you wanted to change and make sure to remember its' file name.
4. After editing/changing the file/image you wanted, you can save it anywhere from your PC, let's say on your Desktop.
- Make sure that the file name still remains as is..
*After you're done editing, updating the PNG files you wish to change, follow this steps to update the zip file :
NOTE : You can apply transparency by editing the PNG file to photoshop by reducing the opacity of the image
1. Go to the original ZIP file of ROM.Zip from your PC
2. Right Click the folder and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive
3. Close all of windows/Browers (or minimize)
4. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ and it will open a new window of 7zip showing the files inside the zip.
5. Now, given your edited PNG files or downloaded png files (assuming that files are located in your desktop). - Click and simply DRAG the file(s) from your desktop to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ .
6. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
7. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
8. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
9. Close the 7zip window and that's it!.
You can now install the .zip by copying the UPDATED zip file to your SD Card.
(Note: Make sure to copy the updated one, not the backed up one)
Install the zip file from the original thread's instructions and reboot twice.
After that, you have now a customized systemUI.apk.
For those who do not want to reinstall the whole package.. follow these steps:
1. I assumed that you have the zip file of your ROM.
2. Extract it and go to \system\app\
3. Separate the SystemUi.apk - put it on your desktop. create a back up,
Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> extract here - just to view the files you wanted to change.
Just go the folder and search for the PNG files.
4. Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive.
5. Go to \res\drawable-ldpi\
6. Click and simply DRAG the PNG file(s) from your desktop to \res\drawable-ldpi\
7. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
8. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
9. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :
1. Download and install rootexplorer.apk
2. Download the png files you wanted to update.
3. Copy and paste the NEW SystemUi.apk that you have updated/Edited to your SD card.
4. Open root explorer in your galaxy y then go and tap MOUNT R/W.
5. Go to \SDCard and go to new SystemUI.apk that you have updated.
6. Long press the file and select copy
7. Press back and go to \system\app - tap MOUNT R/W at the top.
8. Paste the new SystemUI.apk from there.
(Note : You will encounter a lot of force closes for the exixsting systemui is currently being used by your phone. - just ignore it a lot and scroll down to look for the new SystemUI.apk.
9. Once you get there, long press on it and select permissions:
from the pop up, make the checked one like this :
•___•____ •
•___ .____.
•___ .____.
where Dots are the checked one - Bigger dots
After encountering a lot of force closes, then reboot the phone and that's it!
(Force Closes are normal, DON't PANIC - logically, you are currently using your systemUI.apk so just ignore it
NOTE : You can also apply the same steps in editing system files apps, just edit the .png files and locate it using 7zip(when you already opened it). Have a little LOGIC on how to edit system app background - same process. just different apk files and directory
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU - IT COSTS NOTHING ;]
nice guide
you can also add this:
Install via ADB:
adb root
adb remount
adb push [file location in PC] /system/app/systemui.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no need to set permissions via ADB
also its better to use apk multitool since it can compile/decompile the apk's, if you extract the apk using 7zip or archive softwares you can't read the XML's and you can't compile them properly which results to force close issues when pushing into system

Thanks! not that sure how to use that that's why I made it my on way
more easy steps and understandable for newbies.
EDIT :
Yes you it will require to extract the apk files but just to view the image you wanted to change.. the original apk file will be opened thru 7zip and just replace the selected png. It is not recompiling the apk file at all
Tried and tested by the way
try and test it out yourself:
a very powerful apk reverse engineering tool:
APK MULTITOOL

Hmm... if you want a default wallpaper, create a folder named "Wallpaper" inside "SYSTEM" folder and create another folder inside it named "default_wallpaper" then put the jpg file you wanted..
(you can use rootexplorer)
make sure that the file name of the default wallpaper is "default_wallpaper.jpg"

Hello Everyone,
Today i am going to show you how to change that boring boot animation by this cool one. So lets begin:
STEPS :
For Cyanogenmod users -
1) Download the file from below.
2) Install as normal apk.
3) Go to Settings>Themes>Boot animations.
4) Browse the boot animation and apply.
5) Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.
For normal users - (Root needed)
1) Download the file from below.
2) Download any root explorer of your choice.( I prefer Es file explorer)
3) Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
4) Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.
5) Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.
6) Now go to the root folder and navigate through system>media. Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
7) Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
8) Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
9) For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart...
10) Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.
DOWNLOADS :
Mega - http://goo.gl/KGMS9i
Drive - http://goo.gl/FfvY8a
Note :
You are choosing to make these modifications, and dont point the finger at me for messing up your device.
No reply or review ?
I'm using kernel which is not showing bootanimation. So i can't test it.
thank you i will try this.....

Don not have any pictures?
a sample video or picture would be great
Tried on RR5.6.4 on Xiaomi Redmi 1s. During the colored part, top and bottom have little black part, which looks kind of annoying. And I don't know whether its just on my phone, but in the end it looked like the animations broke. Rest of the parts are very good and really cool. Great work
awesome bro
i will try soon ,
thanks
I made a small preview od this animation, it is not full and GIF has very low resolution

There aren't the lib files in the zip
nice - thx
I think You can do flashable zip file for beginners - no question how to set permissions, ect.
..and if You could write about backup system files before install it - if something will go wrong.
Thx a lot

change name old apk via add ".bak" at the end of name and paste the new form zip folder, next set permission at
rw-r--r-- and restart the phone - if something goes wrong - rename the old apk via delete ".bak" at the end and delete the new apk copied from zip.
You can back to original version of TW.

Thread closed
If a member wants to share an app they found in another section, they need to link to original thread. And there members can download, read about issues, and thank OP if they wish.
This is not my work well it is in the fact I put it together. The module is from Pirasalbe however his module left a box where the : should be on lock screen and ambient display. So I unzipped the file removed the fonts and replaced with fonts made to work with the pixel that credit goes to xda member sharkie405 . This is Bellota font it changes every font on the phone dialer contacts g+ etc here is the link just download open magisk go to modules and hit the yellow + navigate to downloads and pick it. It will install and after reboot profit. If you want to use a different font you unzip go to system fonts and delete everything but the first font that says Google I believe that is the correct : for the time. Then just cut and paste the other font, zip the file and install. I know I could have just flashed the original zip sharkie405 made in twrp if I had twrp installed but I don't so I made this for magisk. If you don't like the font just disable the module and reboot you will be back to stock. If anyone else makes a different module please post it here for all to enjoy.
The module will have Pirasalbe credit mods if this is an issue or violates any rules please let me know and delete this thread. I certainly do not want to upset anyone or have them think I am hijacking their work. Download oad--->https://www.dropbox.com/s/plvvkhv8x7x8i1z/Bellota_Font-1.9.zip?dl=0

why we must flash zip?
1 use root explorer like mixplorer.apk,
2 go to system/media/theme/default and rename 'powermenu' to powermenu.apk2 (for backup that file)
3 download 'powermenu.zip' from attach files and delete '.zip' (cant upload file name 'powermenu' whitout '.zip' extensions)
4 copy file 'powermenu' from attach files to system/media/theme/default (check permissions 644)
5 no need reboot
for restore orginal files delete 'powermenu' and rename powermenu.apk2 to 'powermenu'. no need reboot.

Thank you for your solution but I am going to allow to bring you an answer
Because simply most of the users prefer to flash a zip file without having to make other manipulations. Many feel reassuring so by operating
But if you are willing I am also going to bring a quite small criticism in your description of your solution

You sure you do not forget anything?
Because if you apply only it there will be no change.
50 % of the work is missing so that actually the new functions are present in powermenu . As for example to edit the services.jar file ...
Excuse me, it is not 50 % which it misses but 90 % in fact. Because you have to de-odex services.jar file, decompile services.jar file, recompile services.jar file, edit servives.jar file, and copy the new services.jar file in framework folder with 644 permission.
But I am certain that it is just any forgetting from you and that you fast go to correct your solution
Thank you in advance

Of course this is the correct way to go. However, your deodexed services.jar is not good as stock in terms of performance, delays, random freezes and touch delays. Seems that some bugs exist in your kitchen. I tried it many times in 10.0.4 and in 10.0.6 with same behaviour. I revert back to stock.
Thank you for your efforts and your time as well

May be you cannot feel it now but you will certainly feel the difference if you flashed stock after a while.
Regarding modded systemui, tiny difference is not noticeable at all.
Dear dev, you're doing a unique job on both your mods. Please continue the same as they're both must have for the ones who are on MIUI.
Thanks a lot. Keep it going.!
Also if you're on Telegram, please mention your username in the OP so people can contact you easliy for bugs, requests etc.
Cheers.

And I'm not a dev, just a user as you who got hooked to mod stock rom since a few years. I have never followed formation in computing and my job has nothing to do with that. It is just as a game for me to bring these modifications.
