Now that we have Root and the amazing recovery tool... I decided it was time to test things out. No we dont have MetaMorph, but until then... The "old fashioned" way will work. I pulled the framework, made a quick modification to the BATTERY icons and pushed it back... and BAM!! Blue battery!
So far i see no adverse effects... so i will be pushing my fully themed Framework-res.apk to my INC later this evening. Proof? See pic...with BLUE battery! Thats just the start of my theme!

do the files require unsigning and signing like in winmo? sorry, i was well versed with winmo themeing but am new to android. i'd love to start customizing though.
any links on where to learn what files contain what, how to extract em, etc.? thanks

All the images are located within framework-res.apk, But there are several other places that you can edit xmls to make further changes. you can extract them directly from there, and replace them using 7zip without need to sign the apk. The most common are found in /res/drawable hdpi/
Before experimenting i would suggest reading up on Patch 9 files. Those require more than just editing the png.

To my knowledge that requires editing the Services.jar file. There are scripts out there for editing this file, but the short answer for now is NO. (unless you're a java guru)
command is *adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework* right?

1. Always do a nandroid backup first...
2. push framework-res.apk file to root of sdcard
3. boot phone into recovery
4. mount /system and /sdcard from recovery
5. open adb shell and type:
busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
6. reboot
Enjoy!

I concur with ALWAYS do a back up...
no need to push file to SDCard though, or use busybox cp
Just push it directly from its location.
Reboot to recovery...
Mount /system (under partitions menu)
open cmd prompt and type:
adb push (file location) /system/framework/framework-res.apk
example :
adb push c:\android\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

FYI i will be sharing my modded framework-res.apk shortly, working out a few things. My version will change ALL status icons, battery meter, signal bars, and a whole lot more (basically everything GREEN)to the Blue you see in the battery in the pic.
Having a lil trouble....
Ok so i managed to edit almost everything in framework, (still working on the.9.pngs, they take sooo much time)..... But im having an issue...
Hopefully some one here can help me solve this. Unlike the moto, i cant seem to get the signal meter, or the 3g/1x/etc icon to change. all other icons are acting as they should but these stay the same. Ive re-copied them, and pushed the apk 3 times...
Anyone with ideas...

Could someone help me with this? Is it a regular PNG, is it a apk, or what? I have no idea at all of where to find it...
The picture I'm talking about is the Android that is on the screen when you make calls to numbers that don't have a contact photo.
Any and all help is, of course appreciated.
i would love to be able to change that, hope its possible
its a png that needs to be changed in the phone apk
I think it's in framework-res.apk
Check /system/framework/framework-res.apk, unzip it and look inside, it should be somewhere there.

Hey thank you. I found it, and I've edited, zipped up, and signed the apk file, but, for some reason, it won't let me install it.
Is there anyone who can take a look over this and see what I did wrong?
I'm using HTC Sync to push the file through to install it, but it's not letting me do it on the phone end.

Try this:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Phone.apk
adb push *your apk's name* /system/app/Phone.apk
I don't know about doing it as an installable apk file. I take a flashable .zip, open it (not extract... just double click into it) browse to the apk, drag and drop the new .png, and close it back up. Then I just flash the zip using Rom Manager.
EDIT: I see Geniusdog showed you how to push it

take a copy of the original and then try inserting the .png into the "phone.apk" without extracting or changing it... and repush it to your phone

Also curious about this too. BTW if I find a picture I like, how to I change it to a .png file?
This is a copy/paste from here.
This is a port of Manup456's NexTheme for the Motorola Droid X. It is meant to be run on the .604 update to Android 2.1.
This installation will require some work, though it is not too difficult. You just need to follow the instructions.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that may go wrong in this process - Though with the SBF file now, it is almost impossible to brick a Droid X.
That being said, I didn't even need to restore while I was porting and testing this, so there should be minimal chance of any major mess-ups.
Instructions:
1. Download 'MetaMorph' from the market. Run it once and grant it root permissions.
2. Download the following file:
NexTheme.zip
3. Extract the file. Put the MM.zip file in sdcard/AndroidThemes and the other two in /sdcard/nextheme
4. We will first need to push framework-res.apk and services.jar to the system. Do not use root explorer to copy the files! Open up your terminal emulator or adb (preferably) and type:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/nextheme/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
reboot
after this reboot, you should notice a different status bar, but the clock and time will still be black.
open up terminal emulator (or adb) again and this time we'll push services.jar
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/nextheme/services.jar /system/framework/
reboot
The following reboot will take between 3-5 minutes!
Now the clock and time, etc. will be white.
5. Now, fire up MetaMorph and choose unzip/extract new theme, select nextheme, and let it do it's thing extracting. Once it's done extracting, you can apply all the themes (for the apps), or apply only the ones you want.
6. Enjoy your new theme

From what I understand the only change to the services.jar is so that the text shows up white. Other than that everything else is changed in the framework-res.apk (aside from the settings icons and such).

I am trying to theme the clock widget with no luck. All I am trying to do is replace the flip digits, AM, PM, and background with identical sized graphics. I have tried replacing them with WinZip and 7Zip. I am signing them with the test signature which works with every other type of apk file.
I mount the system partition and push the new version with adb and when I restart all I get is a blank widget. It also shows up in the widgets list as something like 01db as the name.
So, I suspect the signing is the problem. Could be some signature check within the widget causing it to fail.
Any thoughts?
If anyone has this widget working with a black background and silver digits I would be just as happy.
I'm afraid I can't be much help at the moment, since I'm away from my computer, but here is a mod from the hero forums that I used to use on my eris. It'll be mdpi instead of hdpi, but taking a look at its files might help you out.

Actually no I haven't. Worth a shot Thanks
Well, that was weird... Pushing it unsigned worked. I never thought to try that since any add on apk's I have done needed to be signed.
Thank you
So, to summarize:
Code:
1) Open apk with 7zip and leave it open
2) Extract res folder to desktop
3) Modify graphics or whatever (I only did graphics)
4) Drag the res folder over the zip window and drop
5) Exit 7zip
6) Go into recovery mode and mount /system
7) Connect phone to pc
8) Open cmd and cd to your sdk folder where you put the apk
9) Push to original folder (in this case adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app) on phone in recovery mode
Happiness
Awesome, glad you got it to work. The way I usually do it is to push any apk unsigned first, and if I have problems try it again but sign first.

I guess I just got hung up on signing since I have never had luck with unsigned. However, this was my first attempt at a built in apk.

Just incase anyone likes the silver on black numbers for their clock like I do I decided to post my mods to HtcClockWidget.apk
This is based on the stock 2.2 widget but may work on 2.1 ROM's
Requires being rooted so just use adb to push it to /system/app folder
Back up your original just incase you want to go back

I am assuming you have the USB drivers installed and not HTC Sync.
When I ran SRS 2.5.2 it had the MOD for the silver clock widget, I now have 3.1 RC3 but when I try your method, "adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app" it uninstalls the stock one but does not install the new one. I have to flash a Nandroid backup to restore it. What am I doing wrong? I really liked the one from 2.5.2 and want it again.

I can understand it not working if you are on other than a stock 2.2 ROM since it is from the stock. What I don't understand is why pushing you original backup back isn't working.
Can you reinstall it from your Nand backup?

Here is my first contribution to this forum.
Simple instructions:
1 nandoid backup
2 adb devices
3 adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(make a backup copy of this file)
4 open the apk file with winrar
5 insert the "status_bar_header_background.9.png" that is in the attached rar file into the framework-res.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder
6 adb remount
7 adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
8 adb reboot
I'll be making and adding a few more as they happen.

Nice work! I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention.
here is my version!
I tried this and got a boot loop. It would load all the way to the boot sequence then FC the framework. How can i modify without breaking the signature. I am on a mac, because i know everyone uses winrar on pc.
Some had posted a file and asked for the avenge sevenfold death bat to be put on.
I had done it but the posts were lost when the site was recovered a few days ago.

I tried this and got a boot loop. It would load all the way to the boot sequence then FC the framework. How can i modify without breaking the signature. I am on a mac, because i know everyone uses winrar on pc.

Sorry I am not familiar with the process for MAC's.
I tried this with ninja morph and still didnt work. Can someone elaborate on the process maybe. I must be missing something somewhere.
How do I get rid of the "sprint" in the upper left of the notification bar?
Also, do I need to delete the original png?

Instructions on editing the sprint banner can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708419
To do this mod you wouldnt delete the original png...you need to replace it with the modded png file. I would make and save backup of the original on your local hard drive that way if you ever wanted to go back to stock or create a new banner with a different image you would have a copy of the non modified stock png to work with.
Thanks, I got the header and closer .png changed. Now to get rid of the pesky Sprint lettering.

Why can't they make equal apps for us? Right? :'(
Would somebody please mod the services.jar from the 3.29 odex Rom posted by joeykrim. All we need is the services.jar and an edited png right?

I think you need to use a deodexed rom.

Here is my first contribution to this forum.
Simple instructions:
1 nandoid backup
2 adb devices
3 adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(make a backup copy of this file)
4 open the apk file with winrar
5 insert the "status_bar_header_background.9.png" that is in the attached rar file into the framework-res.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder
6 adb remount
7 adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
8 adb reboot
I'll be making and adding a few more as they happen.

when i do this procedure i get all kinds of force close errors. to the point of i have to do a nand restore. i edited a "status_bar_header_background.9.png" file from another theme. The .png image file is the same physical size, but the framework-res.apk file is now larger in size than the one i edited it from, does that have anything to do with it?
Theme :
I come from a Development group called Team Whiskey, I primarily made Roms and Themes for Samsung phones before, but I know have the Atrix 2. Here is my first ICS based theme
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
IF anyone wants to install it and can follow brief instructions here you go:
( Sidenote - you need to have ADB installed, you can either install the full Android SDK or copy it from Super One Click)
In a command prompt you want to use:
1.) adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard
2.) adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard
then
3.) adb shell
4.) su
5.) mount remount,rw /dev/null /system
6.) cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
7.) cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app (the case is sensitive)
8.) rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex
9.) reboot
The SystemUI.apk has been deodexed. I have an almost working script for our CWM, so going forward, we can a simple install instead of the tedious manual stuff.
DOWNLOADs:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
Please enjoy, and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I am still working on our Extended Power menu and the Settings menu( which is the power widget like you see in the screen shot), if you want the unfinished Settings.apk please pm me for it. Like I said, it works flawlessly, but the icons are a little weird.
Future:
16 Lockscreens, I have 9 of them working.
Great to have you aboard! Some very nice work. What about notification toggles? How hard would they be to implement?
Not hard at all actually! You know what is funny about that, all of the Samsung roms have the toggles, and we spent days and days ripping them out to give us this look the motorola is going here ! I was planning on doing the same style as miui on that, you know the scrollable one. I will work on that after the lockscreens.
Awesome man. Looks perfect with my setup.
How did you remove at&t from the notification bar? I have tried finding strings.XML and can't..

followed the above to the T. Got a Read only error. Changed RW to RO in the cmd prompt and then was able to successfully push SystemUI.apk to system/app. I did it before through root explorer the same way and it just kept force closing. Just rebooted and it all works now.
Thanks given for this!

Looks great so far! Would you mind including detailed instructions for backing up the existing files as well? Don't mind doing things via ADB, but I'm far from being an expert.

ADB pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
ADB pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
ADB pull /system/app/SystemUI.odex
anyone can post the original framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and systemUI.odex??
i accidentally replace mine by copy ICS blue theme into sd card.
For some reason I always have a grey circle with a plus in the middle of it on the top right of my status bar. What's with that? Other than that my only complain is the clear button when you pull down the status bar. Seems to have a little extra room in the box under the word clear.
Updates?

This is for Atrix2 why would you try this on the Bionic? But I guess that is how we find out what works and what doesn't...carry on

Did your phone soft-brick? Or did you try restoring a backup?
Since installing this I noticed I'm getting "phantom" icons in my notification bar, almost like a burn in on television. Tilt the phone to extreme angles to see them better, can anyone confirm?

Yea they do disappear. Seems like you'll get a new text message update or whatever, clear it from the status bar, it goes phantom, then disappears. Other than that I have a grey circle with a plus in the middle that's always at the right of my status bar.
