Sure. Recompile you're framework and pull all the imgs and xlms from the other framework system ui and the app the other phone uses them find where they are in your current rom and swap the images and edit all the zmls in your phone to match the other will take several days maybe weeks to accomplish.

Depends. Which theme? Link?
There's a couple theme porters available here on xda, or google. Or you can look into doing it manually, then you can grab what you want and mix and match. It sometimes takes a few tries, but its fun if you like that sort of thing. All you have to do is unzip, swap out the pngs you want, zip and and sign, make an update.zip and flash, or use something like Ninjamorph to stuff it back. Automates the zip, sign, replace.

The Theme that I was interested in coverting over to CM6.2 was the andro green theme originally found in the Hero forum, the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783883
+1 for an answer to this, I'm in the same boat. Tried Theme Porter but I think I'm doing it wrong...
Basically what i ended up doing was just replacing all the appropriate images in the framework-res.apk

what program/app did you use to do this?
It be really easy to port that theme since its already on a same size mdpi device . Only thing that would be a little time consuming is if he made any changes to the xml's which isn't hard to do just takes a little time to sift through it and compile it to your framework based on the rom you are using.

I used dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen to decompile the ROM that I wanted to replace the images in the framework-res.apk. I definitely recommend learning how to use it because it will allow you to customize ROMs of your choice and allow u to add and remove apk's in the ROM. And then recompile it.

Not anywhere specifically, I learned by decompiling frameworks and reading tthrough the source xml's and asking and read up in theme threads and Appmanager. But if you have any question about something specific you can pm me

SystemUI and Framework-res APKs? (Update: LTE icons found)

Can someone supply me with their stock Framework-res and SystemUI APKs?
EDIT: Look what I found (attached as a zip file). LTE network icons. Pretty interesting. For anyone that wants to pretend they have LTE connectivity, the icons are there.

These are from Stock framework and systemUI? If so, we can use these in the UOT kitchen for battery mods, etc, right?
Yes these were the stock Apks. As for ur other question I don't want to assume anything.

Yes you can. However, if your framework and systemui apks are different from the ones in the first reply, you'll lose any changes you made (if you made any).

I'm still on stock and haven't made any framework/systemUI changes, so I should be good to go, Once I root, I can start working on some battery mods

why would this be, cuz i messed around with framework and systemui then used like root explorer to go place it back into /system/app/ it should work as per the changes right?

If someone modified their apks and used the stock ones to add a battery mod, for example, the result would be a completely stock framework with the modified battery. This would cause them to lose any changes they made to the framework (outside of the battery mod) before they replaced it. Same thing applies for the SystemUI and anything else. To avoid all of this, the best choice is always to use apks directly pulled from your device.

[Q] How to remuve menus from settings.apk?

i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

Yes its rooted
Am using Cosmic Rom
Latest xposed installer installed and busybox installed
As you have xposed install you might be able to use SystemUI Icons which allows you to change every images from the system UI apk. The only problem is it's a bit long to change each icons one by one. I may be able to make an app to automate the process, but I need to find time for that. You could try using SystemUI icons for now and I'll tell you if I've found time to make an app or if I find a quicker way
Hope that was helpful

Ok I took a bit of time to see how I could manage to automate the process, for now the app is able to get superuser rights and access the SecSettings.apk file in System/app, now I need to see if I could modify the apk without decompile it. The problem is I have a lot of exams these weeks so it might take some time before I can finnish the whole app. I'll tell you when it will be ready

I did. You will have to rip apart every apk in the os to find it. It is not just one apk. It's built into the whole OS
