hello create an icons file on your phone then slide the icons inside. Then you open your explorer root then you go in the file and each icon you change the extension instead of Phone.png you put Phone.pio .This is a backup of your icons before changes[emoji6]

i'm currently working on a theme. but i have 2 questions:
*can miui theme non system apps as well?
i tried to but i cannot see what i am doing wrong here.
my example: i have palmary weather widget,
1) looked up its package name (com.palmary.forecaweather)
2) extracted the image i wanted to edit out of the .apk
3) changed it in photoshop
4) have set an directory; res>drawable-hdpi>imagename.png
5) zipped it and renamed it com.palmary.forecaweather
6) and rezipped that folder with a current theme to a mtz file.
*how do i edit png files that are indexed when opened in photoshop?
some images for instance in framework-res, have indexed 8-bit color set to it.
and i cannot edit those images in photoshop without losing transparency.

How to make theme use Android system icons

I removed all icons from a theme as I hoped Android would use system icons instead.
Unfortunately the app drawer now shows the same icon for all theme icons that I removed. Apparently it still tries to load the themed icons.
Which config file do I have to change to so that the default Android system icons will be shown?
Issue solved:
Simply open the .apk using WinRAR and change the images with new ones. If swapping images from one .apk to another you can actually extract the old .apk to a folder using WinRAR and then browse to see the images you want. Select them and drag and drop to the same corresponding folder in your new .apk using WinRAR. This is useful for changing simple things like icons, battery images etc. As long as the images are like for like number of images. If you want to add extra battery images for example battery circle mod then that is covered in another section.
Things to note when adding the images using WinRAR make sure the settings are "update mode = add and replace files" and "compression method = normal".

[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

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
