I'll make this short, and straight to the point ..
Requirements:
Apktool
Command Line/Terminal slight knowledge
Battery Icons and the name of the original author of the icon
2 Minutes (Hopefully)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The How-To:
Download the template battery from the attachments
Decompile it using apktool
Edit AndroidManifest.xml, look for (package="com.xxx"), and change that to a package name of your choosing.
DO NOT use the same package name, you have to change it for each battery you create.
Now go to /res/values/ and open strings.xml
Edit the Battery Name, the original author (Leave as Unknown if you don't know who created the battery) and the compiler name (your name)
Add your battery icons to /drawable-xhdpi/ (or /drawable-xxhpi if you have a bigger resolution icons) replacing the old ones.
Now build the apk using apktool, and sign it
Install the apk, choose the battery from the custom battery section in Simplistic Control, and you're good to go.
You are free to distribute it or even publish it on the PlayStore.

Just pull the 1 zip or 2 zips from the rom, & explore for you're self, I think its the system ui but could be wrong, I'm not near my computer at the moment to check so I can't say exactly which one it is? If you're gonna mod the battery icons you're gonna look inside anyway & I takes like 10secs to extract & search the apk? If you don't wanna do that, there are various apps in the playstore you can download for free to look at the framework pics from inside the apks without opening them! Hope this helps.... press thanks if it did

As Maarten already pointed out SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. And if you want to use them in apktool you'll also need com.htc.resources.apk.
Just out of curiosity: are you going to use UOT or apktool? Been trying to change status bar clock colour on half-sense and fulmix (see my post in his thread) with apktool but haven't succeeded yet.
What are your plans on theming?
Just pull the zips & open using winrar? Thts what I've been doing for around 4yrs now

It gives you this errors because there is classes.dex file on it. Delete it and than decompile.

Open with WinRAR or 7-Zip delete classes.dex and than decompile with apktool.
Note: you do not have to extract apk to delete classes.dex file.

Make a SystemUI.apk without classes.dex and put that in you ROM and release to all users to test. If it works, I will resign from making ROMs.

Use latest apktool, bad magic value errors fixed in new version.
Refer to this for more info : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642224
BTW... if it just some icons png that you need to change, just replace the pngs, decompile/recompile is not needed.

SystemUI must have classes.dex; there is where all the instructions (the smali files) come from for the apk to work. Like what to run for the EQS and many more.
As mentioned on the link given above
Code:
b) If you are using apkmanager, you can just export classes.dex, then delete classes inside the apk. Then decompile, edit, compile and add classes.dex back when ready.

You can use ninjamorph for changing status bar background image
But it will only work if the status_bar.xml has a @drawable value for status bar background
If it doesn't and has a hexadecimal value it will not work as it's not pointing to a picture that can be changed
You will need to decompile the SystemUI.apk and change the value to @drawable/name of image and then place the image in the drawable-ldpi folder
You can change any other status bar image but it's a slow way of doing it as you can only change one image at a time (you can change as many as you like before you confirm change & apply I mean you cant multi select)
It's easier to unzip the apk & replace files
At op - to avoid confusion of warze instead of posting link to Dropbox post the link to download from the playstore - will also mean people will be downloading latest version
This is playstore link

You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone
(there are apps to edit xml files on phone but they don't work with android compressed xml files within apk)
@marcus
Thanks mahn... Uh explained them rightly... (Y)
I don't like ninja morph!
What I do is rename the apk to .zip and make changes inside the zip with powergrasp. And when done rename it again

That is easier if you have a lot of mods to do
Ninjamorph was created to change a single file quickly on the fly - its not designed for multiple file replacements

Depends what you tried to change
For example of if you tried to change the status bar background image and there's not an entry in status_bar.xml for a @drawable png image it would be impossible to change using ninjamorph as there is no pointer to an image in systemui.apk
And of course you have to finish the project and apply changes without zip aligning
It does work if used correctly and for the right use
You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad

ninjamorph is just a simple and user friendly tool
there is also a script that manages to change png files using terminal emulator

Please stop all of this.... Its just a app..
So if any one want and they don't know about it then they can get...
So please stop arguing about which bad or good app... As all apps are made by some efforts of developer, so we should respect that effort instead of argueing about which is best !

You can't, it's not for that device, at most you could take some apps and "try" to get them working. But there may be dependencies that the apps need that your device may not have.

I'm just saying that it is sufficient to remove all odex-files and will be deodexed firmware (as dex-components is within the APK). Or do you want to say that nobody knows here? :laugh:

muahahaha if so why then deodexing script exists?
have you ever tryed to compare smali files that are into classes.dex in an apk if are the same as in its odex file?
if same you can freely remove odex.....
Your solution maybe can work for some apks but is not recommended(absolutely for system apps), especially when you try to port apk and features..... so stop saying wrong suggestions, otherwise we will have dozen of users blaming and crying for apk FC.
And a lot of developers being seen idiots cause they have written deodex scripts???

If these packages were really deodexed then it's really bad! ART compatible ROMs don't require deodex at all. Just delete odex files. APK/JAR have dex inside.
But after deodexing many class references are tampered because of deodexer technics.

Hey. I want you to leave my name on your post.
The orgin files are mine.
Hello,
I created this topic just to help out my dear friend Tytydraco, in this topic everyone can request/submit .ttf fonts. Make sure that if you upload a font it has to be .ttf so Tytydraco can add them to his Samsung System Mods font collection.
Check out Tytydraco's phenomenal Substratum topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/mods-small-collection-tweaks-t3657118
How to request a font?
Send me a PM which font you would like to get added to Tytydraco's font collection.
How to submit a font?
Send me a PM with a link to the zipped archive and I will upload them to my Google Drive where Tytydraco can easily download them. Make sure that every single font has to be .ttf to make me them work with Substratum.
Please keep in mind that these font packs are not 100% perfect, there might be some fonts missing.
Here is my Google Drive font folder link for Tytydraco:
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1taRyVyc7XLfYiHu8hislawmtVP2SvCUg
Fonts uploaded so far:
Gill Sans, Helvetica Neue, Oswald, OnePlus Slate, Roboto Condensed, Barlow, Dosis, Montserrat, Ubuntu, Raleway
Oh also remember to unzip all the fonts so its just the .ttf files in the folder. that way i can mass download them. Thanks for making this thread!

That's what I did when I downloaded the fonts, the zip archives uploaded to my Google Drive contains only .ttf files, nothing else. Before I upload anything I will double check everything.

Ofc you can, but make sure that all of those fonts are .ttf and zip archive has only .ttf files nothing else.
I sent a PM to Tytydraco about custom installers for fonts, so maybe later in the future we might get custom installers for fonts.
I wish I had a laptop, I could make these installers.

So a lifetime ago I maintained an xda thread and website where I posted flashable font packs for very old versions of android. I got up to over 300 or so.
