Change DPI of an overlay element - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all! My question is: there's a way (root-friendly) for resize or change the dpi of an overlay object?
This object is a banner which is generated from an app, but I don't want to hide it, but only resize it, and I need a way to do this, without modifying the apk.
Any solution?

[Q] How to change in lockscreen the large fingerprint icon ?

Hello! Can you tell me, how can i change my wallpaper using cm7 in lock screen, if fingerprint sensor enabled? Specifically, I would like to get rid of the fingerprint icon on the lockscreen. Thx!
Don't think you can, at least not easily. Either a theme must override it, or you need to edit your framework-res.apk.
If it helps, the relevant image is framework-res.apk:res/drawable/cmfp.png.
Thank's

[Q] "Standalone" navbar mod options?

Hi everyone
I've seen that is quite easy to enable/disable the Navbar in JB, just adding the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 string in build.prop file.
What's not easy at all is to modify the navbar, height, buttons number, etc... so i am wondering if there's some kind of application that add these options, without having to change ROM.
I saw the procedure to manually modify the framework-res.apk, but it's not so easy at all...
Wouldn't it be helpful for everyone to have an app like this?

Need help with modifying theme

So i just started to customize my Streak, modifying the SystemUI.apk. So far I only managed to modify the notification bar/pull-down.
Some questions i couldn't solve myself, help would be appreciated:
As the lock screen is semi-transparent, my guess is that there could be a PNG-file for its bg. Where to find it to edit it, or am I totally wrong?
Also, where to change the other stuffs shown on the lock screen?
How does the battery icon in the notification bar work? It doesn't appear to be a set of PNG-files like the other objects in the notification bar.
Thanks for your help!
Here's another question:
After using apkmultitool to decompile SystemUI.apk, editing some hexcodes, then recompiling it again, I have no statusbar anymore!
What could be the problem?

What is the easiest/basic way to edit theme?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just follow this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069287
What app's background do you want to edit? Because there are two possibilities - either it is a png (much easier) or xml editing (slightly more difficult)
Just PNG and no rooting.

Modify Statusbar within Android

So I know you need to get the framework and systemui.apk. I don't only want to change the icons, but I also want to place them differently, how do I go about changing each icon's position? Any help on this would be good.
