Hi friends,
If you want to have nice custom batteries as they are seen below - or smileys or bootanimation -:
First pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ (only for custom battery icons)
there are two ways, you can find them here:
http://circle.glx.nl/how_to/
than:
1. Open http://circle.glx.nl/
2. Choose version. There are 4 options today (22/11/10):
a)SCB with %, Version [A-I] (you can choose whole themes)
b)SCB with %, Version Z, Custom type, colors (you costumize what you want to get)
c)Flashable zip only (if you have the framework-res.apk what you want to flash)
d)No battery, theme only
3. Choose or make your battery icons. (only a,b,c)
4. Decide if you want emoticons. Status bar icons doesn't work with DHD.
a)Do not include icons - No emoticons and status bar icons
b)Themed icons sets - You choose wich pack you like
c)Custom uni-color icons - You choose a color, and you get the status bar icons in this color
5. If you chose b or c, than you make your icons.
in b) you need to check the "include icons" to have them. To choose use the "preview" link.
in c) you choose color and generate the icons
6. You just click next, as the Status bar notification editing is only for the Desire.
7. If you want to have a new boot animation
a) find the place of your current bootanimation.zip (you can do it in your ROM's zip, for ex.)
b) Select place for bootanimation
c) select desired animation
8. Set Select ROM you use to Desire HD ROM, then next.
9. Choose your framework-res.apk, click next.
It will upload it and generate the flashable zip file.
10. Click download.
11. Boot into recovery.
12. Make a backup!!!
13. Flash the zip you downloaded.
14. Reboot.
15. Enjoy it
If you want to change a CM7 battery, than you should see this thread:

Cool - thanks for that - it's a bit handier having a detailed description of battery remaining.
Did you try any status bar mods at all? Do they definitely not work?

few app has an .odex file and an .apk
the de-odexed ROMs don't have the .odex files
if you take a look at Pay's ROM or LeeDroid's ROM, you'll find something like this:
-Full De-odexed
in the features.
Make a backup, flash a deodexed ROM and flash the custom battery and smileys
It's not possible to de-odexed the default rom ?
framework-res doesn't have a .odex file. I believe this is because HTC allow us to download skins from their website and they overwrite files in the framework-res.apk
Are you making sure to select Desire HD rom in the kitchen?
Yeah absolute i make the procedure twice
as I know deodexing is a requisit for theming
and of course it is possible to deodex a stock ROM, but believe me, the guys with the custom ROMs make a lot of tweakes what you shouldn't miss : )

(Most of this tutorial was taken from mendozinas on XDA)
Kitchen originally was built for HTC Desire, but now it supports most devices with Android OS.
Kitchen takes files from your rom and adds modifications you choose.
I have no association with this site, just a fan of it =)
With UOT you can customize the notification bar, notification bar icons, boot animation, window animations, and much more!
THIS WORKS WITH ANY 2.2 and 2.3 ROM!
Just an example of what I did to the notification bar icons on Wolfbreak's ROM using this website.

Make a backup before you do this. I am not responsible for what happens to your device. (Tough to mess up =) )
How to use kitchen
1. Go to Kitchen page http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
2. Browse through available mods and choose what you need (press generate preview)
3. Go to File upload section and upload your files or choose rom from kitchen's list (most roms in the list is for HTC Desire) Make sure you do this or you cannot finish your process. I have only seen Trips old 1.5 MIUI ROM and Wolfs 007.1 on the list. Send a request in to UOT Kitchen to add any ROM to the kitchen list.
OR
3. I suggest navigating to your rom, clicking system, then framework, then framework-res(for froyo ROMS only)
For gingerbread ROMS just upload the SystemUI file as well along with the step above.
4. In the same tab you will see "Select flashable zip scripting" Make sure you fill the bubble for "Amend scripting."
Cyanogenmod7 rom: Cyanbread.apk or Androidian.apk or any theme for ThemeChooser (rename as you like it to appear in theme menu)
NOTE 1: if you uploading theme apk - do not upload any other files (you're just wasting trafic, because kitchen will ignore additional files)
NOTE 2: Font packs and Bootanimation do not requires uploading files.
4. Go to Summary section. All choosen mod must be in green background. If there is mod in red background - it means you did not finished it.
press Submit work to kitchen
5. Remember UOT file name. You can wait for a kitchen to cook your request, but after 5min waiting will be stopped (nothing to worry about).
6. Go to Pickup page http://uot.dakra.lt/pickup/ and wait for your file to appear (it can take up to 30min or more)
7. Download UOT zip into SD card of your phone
8. Reboot into xrecovery and flash the UOT zip.
9. Reboot and enjoy =)
IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE, JUST MESSAGE ME AND I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP
Shame you can't use it f eclair roms.

Not sure what your talking about for the stock 2.2.1 froyo, but if you download it and go to the system--> framework -->then res.apk you can find it
thanx.. although I already know how to find out problem is my framework already has battery percentage so it just keeps coming up with error when going through the kitchen hence I was hoping someone had the unmodified framework-res.apk?

Highlight system files because your uploading Wolfs Rom. Make sure you extract WB-009 Rom into a folder you can navigate to. Then when you have a folder go to the system--->framework---> Then framework res.apk. Then go to upload and then your good =)
Also make sure to highlight in "Amend scripting" instead of "edify scripting"
Thanks, i will use it!

I'd like to present my Honeycomb-style theme. It's of course not an official honeycomb MOD, but my own modification of the latest austrian stock. This is my very first theming work, and almost everything was made manually, so please have understanding if some shortcomings appear.
In theme are included:
13 custom icons for system apps (taken from ADW-hc theme),
usb-screen,
boot sound,
boot animation,
4 (5 for stock) different transitions
scrolling glow
modded statusbar,
dialer/contacts window
For that credit goes to nedoo - if I didn't extract twframework.apk from his theme I would never figure out how to change one crucial element. To be honest the upper panel in contacts window comes directly from your work cos I liked that very much Big thanks goes also to user esk02k who created this beautiful mod for S2- dialer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112572 I used his button backgrounds.)
...and some more
Theme comes with stock window animations, but I'm uploading flashable custom transitions + CRT for both stock and theme. They're coming in two packages that must be extracted before flashing them via CWM. U can chose between: flying, flip, rudolf, bounce and (only on unchanged stock though) ICS.

I have no idea why it works once and another time refuses to bring the desired effect here. In worst case you can do it manually with root explorer.)

There might be some problems with boot animations. After reflashing theme /restoring to the stock start animation can sometimes disappear. I don't know why it is happening. I strongly recommend wiping cache and dalvik cache before. If you still face this problem please flash one of bootanimation.zips

Wow that's great thanks for the info it worked! Awesome transparent pull-down now & loving the extra options!
Now say I wanted to change the icons (i.e. I like digital battery theme). Do you know, would it simply involve using a program like 7zip to just go in & swap the images? Or would I have to recompile & sign the zip & stuff?

IT would work if you choose the right pngs and change their names to match exactly the ones in the apks and if they are same size , I have not decompile anything. I am waiting for eybee197p to help me with that. But even without decompiling and recompiling It works OK

Thanks will give it a try...
This is probably because I'm using stock, but the iPhone-style clock ( :thumbdown: )in the middle of the status bar is interfering/overlapping with status bar notifications. Like I just updated a market app & when I got the status bar "app successfully updated" it overlapped with the clock. Any fix?

Not from me, it is the price you have to pay for having it centered. Not a problem for me though. XML editing is on devs. I only do Photosop and a lot of hours thinking how to fit everything

Hey there.
I'm not a Dev, just a Themer.
After eternities of abstinence I have started with themeing again.
Here you will find a very nice example of my work (German Forum):
--> CM7-Special-modded-by-Benski
The main reason for modding/themeing at the 10.1 was, that the Stock ROM on it looks boring and i got some troubles with the available Themes on XDA.
So I started right from scratch and will now develop step by step my Theme for the Note 10.1
On the basis of activities in the german forum as well as the familial and professional full employment, it is not possible for me to publish updating my theme constantly or fix any bugs in a timely manner.
I tested my themes extensively before publishing it so that bugs should be excluded.
My Themes based on the newest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean XXUCMA8 Note 10.1 / N8010 Stock ROM, but it is deodexed!
In theory, all my themes and modifications should be running on all Note 10.1. but I had only been tested on my N8010!
Requirements:
Root
Custom Recovery (CWM oder TWRP)
deodexed ROM
Installation:
download ZIP
copy the ZIP on your Device
boot into Recovery
Backup your current ROM!
flash ZIP on Recovery
reboot your device
Themes and Modifications
1% Battery-Mod
Most disturbed for me was the insufficient battery indicator, I have dedicated this first. In this ZIP, I've change the Battery Icons and the script for percent steps. Now, it shows you the 1% steps!
Screenshots (samples):
Download
SystemUI_BatteryMod.zip
- File attached -
The SystemUI.apk is full Stock. I just change the Battery. If you are running a theme on your device,
my ZIP file will overwrite your installed and themed SystemUI.apk and you getting a Stock Look back!
BatteryMod_by_Benski.zip
- File attached -
You can use the Battery Mod_by_Benski.zip if you got already a 1%Battery Mod on your 10.1. This Zip will just change the Battery Icons.
Benski's themed SystemUI.apk
The SystemUI.apk has been given a complete makeover graphically from me. Mostly all Icons are replaced. My 1%Battery Mod is already still in there. Just flash the ZIP file in your Recovery.

Benski's themed SystemUI-V2.apk
Here is a new themed SystemUI.apk. I changed some PNGs and XML-files. The result will you see on the screenshots and in the changelog.
Attention: V2 will just work on N8010!

Benski's themed SystemUI-V2_for_N8000
It seems, that the Note N8000 can't work with XML files from the N8010.
I think, thats not a real big Problem. The onliest difference is, that you don't have changed clock colours and background of notification lines. Hope, you can live with this.
Attention: you have to use "Benskis_themed_SystemUI_V2_for_N8000.zip" on N8000!

best regards
Benski
Nice work mate will try it right away .
It's a great pleasure to me, i'll expect your feedback
After installing the three zip files theme, battmod and system UI , i had force close to the system Ui and my status bar has gone , so I thought that the problem was from the system UI , tried again without flashing the system Ui , but really nothing changed except the batt .
Running collection v6 rom , n8000 .
You dont't have to flash all three files. One file is enough.
I recommend to flash just the last one --> benskis_themed_SystemUI.zip
Everything is in there, my BattMod and also the themed SystemUI.
If you just want to change your BattIcon, than flash the SystemUI_BattMod or BatteryMod by Benski. But not both!
Everything is discribed in OP, pls read it carefully
Unfortunately still have the same problem fc of the status bar .

Well, I tried to use Benskis_themed_SystemUI with the stock deodex N8000XXCMC5. The result was an error message: "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped" :crying: Da ist der Hund begraben? Or I do something not correctly?
mhm...
maybe there are some differences between the SystemUI.apk's on N8000 and N8010, but i can't believe it.
I've tested my modded version a few days and got no problems during the flash and the running.Ii flashed my new Version over the SystemUI_BatteryMod.zip and got no FC or any other issues...
I'll build a other Update-ZIP on weekend, which change just the PNG's but not the SystemUI.apk. Hopefully, the problems will be gone
You can ask advice from NadMaj I'm sure he will help .
thanks for your advice
he is already listed in my credits
@ andrcool, ViAlexSt, lsherif and all the other with problems:
did you use TWRP to flash my ZIP Files? I use VRTheme for creating my flashable ZIPs and there is a litte Bug with TWRP.
Pls give me a feedback, so i will maybe fix it. thx

UPDATED!
CLOUDY G2 2.2 & G3 2.1 - MOD for Cobalt (+some Gigamatrix) icons & UI theme- See screenshots
CREDITS TO ICON CREATORS!!! THANKS!!
PS: If you did create the icons and don't want them released in this MOD please let me know.
WORKS WITH CLOUDY G2 2.2
I said DEODEXED, and I repeat it. I don't know if this works on ODEX ROM, but it should (now you flash entire apks, not just patch them). Let me know if it does, only test after full nandroid backup.

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING; AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PHONE, FUNCTIONALITY, DATA, STRESS, ETC
Tested:
This should work on Dalvik and ART and ODEXED ROMs.
- D802 cloudy G3 2.1 Deodexed ART with and without 3minit MOD
- LS980: seems to create an nfc error
Please let me know if you test on other configurations, including odex ROM.
I have serious doubts it would work on verizon phones, depends on how Cloudy G3 works on those.
3minit battery mod for Cloudy G3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/3minit-battery-mod-cloudyg3-2-1-t2962454
credits @vPro97
NOTE on 3minit MOD: if you want 3minit MOD, then first install that, if you apply 3minit AFTER applying my MOD you will lose some aspects of it.
Notes:
- Battery icon in screenshots is from 3minit
- Most icons are Cobalt. I also used some status bar icons from Gigamatrix (either because they are nicer or Cobalt was not themed), etc.
- The status bar icons have been resized from G3 to fit, others have not, and I like the very large quicksettings icons!
- T-action is not themed, i Just replaced the blue button with something that doesn't clash as much.
- some UI icons in settings might no be themed in "tab mode"
Instructions:
1. Either make a full nandroid backup (recommended if you are testing on an ODEX ROM), or follow these instructions for creating a quick flashable recovery file.
Backup the following files with ZIPme: (Make sure you backup the odex files too if you are testing this on an odex ROM!
system/app/LGEasySettings.apk & LGNfc.apk
system/framwork/framework-res.apk & lge-res.apk
system/priv-app/LGContacts.apk & LGInCallUI.apk & LGSettings.apk & LGSystemUI.apk
2. Download flashable zips (see Download section below)
4. Reboot to recovery
5a. If you DON'T have E 3minit: Flash "Flash-CloudyG3-Cobalt-Theme-FULL files.zip" first, if you want the light blue clock on the left then also flash "Flash-CloudyG3-ClockBlueLeft-stock.zip" second (this last flashable zip is only a patch to LGSystemUI.apk, it might not work for ODEX ROMs).
5b. If you HAVE 3minit: Flash "Flash-CloudyG3-Cobalt-3minit-FULL files.zip" first, if you want the light blue clock on the left then also flash "Flash-CloudyG3-ClockBlueLeft-3minit.zip" second (this last flashable zip is only a patch to LGSystemUI.apk, it might not work for ODEX ROMs).
6. Reboot to system
Downloads:
Flash-CloudyG3-Cobalt-Theme-FULL files.zip
Flash-CloudyG3-Cobalt-3minit-FULL files.zip
Flash-CloudyG3-ClockBlueLeft-3minit.zip
Flash-CloudyG3-ClockBlueLeft-stock.zip
Restore:
If you have followed this link instructions to create a recovery file BEFORE applying these MODs, then simply reboot to recovery and flash your recovery file.
If you also installed 3minit MOD please follow the 3minit MOD removal instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/3minit-battery-mod-cloudyg3-2-1-t2962454).

By experience, this should also work on ODEX roms. Great job mate, that's a wonderful contribution.

Thanks, trying to catch up with you.
But this flashable ZIP only contains replacement image files and patches the apks, so not sure if it would work on Odex.

Oh! I think the best you can do (if it doesn't work for ODEX) is to provide a LGsystemui.apk that's already Deodexed and contains your changes. People will end up with a Deodexed systemui but if it's zipaligned they won't notice a decrease in performance at all.

Sorry to hear that.
Which model do you have?
The only thing I can think of is that your nfc.apk is different for some reason.
Option 1:
1. Boot to recovery and wipe dalvik+cache.
2. See if that works.
Option 2:
1. Revert to your original files
2. Boot to recovery and flash the non-full version:
https://mega.co.nz/#!HZoDDQ5b!ekEx4CE2sZzZI-Y1_0GWcQ6S5P7bdVyFRvG0dvN-7u8
Let me know if the problem persists.

I'm on the ls980. I just did a clean install and will try the full again and if that doesn't work I'll try the non-full version. I had xposed and other stuff installed, so I'm trying it without the other tweaks to see if that's what's causing the problem.
---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------
Ok the link you posted worked but I don't have everything themed. Battery and signal are still white and the left side of the status bar is stock also.
@bloof Is there a way you can create a full theme that takes out the nfc.apk or whatever it was that caused the nfc chaos on my ls980? I'm a huge fan of the Cobalt theme and would love to have everything themed with it. Hope I'm not sounding too pushy.

Thanks for testing. Don't have an ls980 so can't find out what to change.
For removing the nfc.apk it is really easy, just unzip the full flashable zip, delete nfc.apk folder and re-zip, you're good for re-flashing.

Did you manage to make it work? The only difference will be the NFC icon in status bar will be missing.
For other status bar notification icons, the ones on the left will always be stock as they are contained within the apps themselves. Only exceptions are system status icons (adb, usb, etc).

Had an early night last night. I'm gonna try it in the next few minutes and I'll share the results.
Update: SUCCESS!! After removing the nfc.apk I'm seeing the full theme.

YES! Just tested on G2 2.2 Dalvik deodexed.
All relevant apks have the same MD5 in 2.2 and 2.1, so works just as before.
@bloof How can I make this theme work with Cloudy G3 3.3? Are you able to do so if its beyond basic knowledge?
Sorry, my G2 bricked 2 weeks ago, (full brick, no response).
But there is a cobalt module in xposed i think.

Ok I'll give that a try. Also, see if reseating your sim card and then holding the power button for about 10 seconds will make it boot up. I had that happen to me about the same time as yours and that did the trick for me.
