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. Do you have a flashable zip just for the transparent shade?

That is explained HERE

Bootloops, endless bootloops...
Edit: got it to work by inserting the .png into manups' theme and flashing it. Adb push pull method was a no go on fresh 3.1.

Here is a modded status_bar_close_on.9

Cool...glad you were able to use it.

awesome ass mod! what are the dimensions for this?

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 cant remember who it was, but here it is.

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?

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?

ATTN THEMERS.. Pushing Framework-res.apk = Success!

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!

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)

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...

How to change the default call picture?

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.
@ McCurt: Where is that located?
@Genius: Ok, I'll check that now

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

Push the original apk back to your phone and reboot
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

You sir, are a SAINT.
That works, but I know how I screwed it up thinking back... I forgot that it was a system apk (total brain fart) and unsigned and resigned the apk and all of that.

7 adb remount
8 adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
9 adb reboot

Oh wow! Can you do that with the Blacy emotes?
trying!
@martijua i just tried it and let see if it worked. rebooting now!!!!
It worked great!!
@GENEius what are blacy emotes?
Update i saw the" blacky emotes" and i would say yes you can if you had all the icons the right sizes
I decided to try other icons and i found out that....
- nandroid backup is a must just in case you mess anything up!
- If it is not the right size 24 x 24 px it will show a blank space instead of an icon.
-While doing this process you will see a FC error but that's ok just adb reboot
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR FC ERRORS!
- If you do not adb pull before you abd push.
- Receiving a text while trying this out.
Not 100% sure because both of these things happend within the same try!
-I noticed that i actually put >PNG instead of .png and that may have been the problem.
NOW IT"S WORKING WILL UPDATE WITH A IMAGE!
SINCE I AM ACTUALLY DOING A LOT FOR THIS AND WILL TRY TO DO MORE I WILL CREATE MY OWN POST!

These are awesome thank u!
Just wanted to add my testimony.
This works, but it will remove all your accounts from the Accounts section, thus removing you contacts, and resetting your wallpaper, and probably other personal settings.
However, setting them back was easy, and re-adding the account was also easy. Got all my contacts back and so on.
Thanks martijua!
http://circle.glx.nl/ is gone. Any alternatives?
ATM I don't have time to deal with missing stuff and restoring them back
P.S. Which way of those two mentioned exactly leads to losing some data? ADB or RootExplorer way?

[GUIDE] Changing status bar icons and more (framework-res.apk)

So friends, here is a quick and easy guide for changing the status bar icons of your Gingerbread(Actually any phone )
For those who don't know how to do it(for anyone actually :highfive
Theory
Android is the awesome platform which is easily configurable and is able of being edited very easily
The icons used in every app and Android framework are located as png images in apk of those respective apps in location:-
*.apk/res/drawable-mdpi (in my case, as our phone is mdpi)
So, we can change any icon of our status bar like battery, signal, (not clock[clock is to be configures in SystemUI.apk{will post how to change it shortly}]), etc by editing png's in framework-res.apk
Not even that, you can edit images of any app as I told you
There are several ways to decompile and compile apk in which we have made change
If we want full access of apk and want to change every thing like the xml's in it and smali content in jar files, then we would have to do it on computer by apktool or apkmanager
But, we are here to only change image, so we would not go in detail of apktool or apkmanager. For changing images, that can be very easily done even on the phone by an app NinjaMorph that is made for developers by our senior head and DEVELOPING LEGEND Stephen(Stericson)
But be careful as backing up the original file if you do something wrong
And as you all know any developer or even a newbie posting something interesting that you want to try WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for your mobile blowing up, resting in peace, sleeping like a dead, behaving like a non-living BRICK, or anything whatsoever that may or may not happen to phone in this universe or any other universe known or unknown
What to do if anything happened to my mobile
We have had a backup of your original file so we can restore it
But if while editing the system files like framework-res.apk
If you deleted some un-backed up apk's
Well you can always have backup of your ROM and that is why Koushik Datta has made clockworkmod Recovery
You can restore your ROM from there
Pre-Requisites
Patience
Mind
A Android (A spare one if you brick your phone, just kidding)
Root access(to change the apk)
NinjaMorph(http://bit.ly/ninjamorph)
Root Explorer(Optional)(http://bit.ly/stericson)
GUIDE
So Let's Start
Download NinjaMorph. Install it and give it root access. It will prompt for starting checks. Click on start checks.
Now you would have three options, namely, New Project, Finish Project, Existing Project
Click on new project. Go to system/framework/ and click on framework-res.apk. It will start extracting files
Once it has extracted all the files, it will open to show you what is inside framework-res.apk.
Exit it and go to your file explorer.
Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk
This is what is inside apk. Go to res/drawable-mdpi folder
There you will see hundreds of icons of your menu, lockscreen, battery, signal, and everything
You can edit them and replace them as you want. But the name of the file you are replacing and size and dimension must be equal to the file you are replacing with(I recommend Googling and finding icons of battery, signal, and other things)[I have even used hdpi icons, there was no problem]
If you download a theme file which is to be flashed in recovery that is not for your phone, no problem, extract the zip and place its framework-res.apk in your sdcard and extract the apk with Ninjamorph. Replace your icons with its icons and TADA
After you have done replacing the icons and you are satisfied(I am never)
Go to NinjaMorph. Click on Fininsh Projects. Click on framework-resapk. It will recompile and ask to replace the original apk with modded one. Click OK
Then it will ask if you want to remove the completed project, Say No(As you would need it if something gets wrong)
Reboot your phone
Maximum chances are that your icons will be replaced. Rare cases have their status bar gone or no change, if so:-
Download(Buy) Root Explorer. Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace,
There you will see framework-res.apk. Copy it and go to /system/framework
Mount as R/W
Paste the apk. If it asks that file already exists, overwrite it.
SET PERMISSIONS
Long click on framework-res.apk and click on permissions
You will see three columns
Read Write Execute
You have to set them in the following way
x means you have to tick it
blank means uncheck
Read Write Execute
.....x........x.................
.....x...........................
.....x...........................
Click OK
You will see it as rw-r--r--
Reboot
Do it over again if nothing happens
Enjoy
This way you can edit not only framework-res.apk but any apk

This section is different from the thread topic
I: Faking Up
Want to make your device show Jelly Bean in About Phone

[MOD] NavBar Gone. (Root)

I get a lot of requests to remove the NavBar. I'm posting this mod at each phone's forum themes section. TWRP flashable zip. Restore zip will be created in a folder named ozop on your sdcard.
Example below with 3rd party navbar.
NavBar Gone 8.0 November update
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329061134
NavbarGone 8.1
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329061956
Installation instructions for those of you that have root, but do not have TWRP. Busybox must be installed first.
1. Download the enclosed vrthemeADBversion zip and readme.txt for copying and pasting purposes.
2. Unzip the vrthemeADBversion zip to your sdcard. Rename folder to vrtheme
3. Put the readme.txt on your PC where you use adb.
4. Download appropriate NavBar Gone zip. Unzip and copy the system folder that is inside the vrtheme folder to the root of your sdcard.
5. On the root folder of your phone, find the data folder and create a folder inside it named tmp
6. Copy the vrtheme folder you earlier extracted to your sdcard to newly created data/tmp folder (/data/tmp/vrtheme)
7. On PC, with your phone connected and in file transfer mode, open CMD prompt and type "adb devices" without quotes. If your serial number comes up you can proceed.
8. Copy and paste the command lines from the readme.txt (include quotes)
adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /system"
Hit enter
First time you will be promoted by SuperSU to give adb permission.
Copy and paste the second line in readme.txt
adb shell su -c sh /data/tmp/vrtheme/installtheme.sh
There is also a Mod installer zip. If on Windows operating system you can unzip it where adb is running and run the bat file instead of typing or copying and pasting the commands.
Wait until everything runs, after a pause of a few seconds your phone will reboot and your NavBar should be gone.

To those who want to use pie control or any other alternative without the interference of the stock navbar, they can flash this to get rid of the navbar

It doesn't require deodexed systemui like the animated navbar, no?

A 8.1 mod had been posted. If you are rooted but cannot run TWRP, there is an alternate method of installing this in the op.

Try flashing this AFTER the pixel mod is installed. I don't think anything is modded in the SystemUI.apk but icons and framework-res.apk but colors but I'm not sure. This should put a restore zip on your sdcard in a folder and zip called ozop.
