All over the internet... You can practically shrink any image and recreate it or just go to certain websites and they'll have 48x48 .png icons for you!

just an example, I spent about 20 minutes searching the web for icons found these and threw everything together really fast.

Mind sharing those icons? just a zip of icons only i can do the rest

idk lol but i would love some new ones

I changed some of my icons here to mix it up a bit.
Here is a pic of the icons that were changed. Some are from the 2.1 ROMs and the others from the desire ROM. The apks are the original 1.5 apks so it will not add blue at all like the 2.1 icons zip found somewhere on here. It will look and work the same as now just different icons.
Download put on root of sdcard and flash from recovery. Nandroid backup Before just incase blah blah blah
Modified 2.1 Icons

I have almost all the ones i know of maybe i missed a few. If i did let me know.
Here is a zip of the desire and 2.1 icons at 48x48 as most are 72x72 normally
This is not an update.zip file and cannot be flashed it is only the icon.png files for anyone that does not know do not try to flash it.
Download Link

ok so there is a link for a flashable zip for the icons I made really fast they are built off of fresh 1.1 so if you use it you will have the blue highlites (I personally like them) and then I am adding a NON FLASHABLE zip of just the icons for those that want to do it them selves.
Flashable update zip here

[THEME] Swype

Here is my first try and theming swype. Iam using it with the swype apk thats floating aroung in here. The only part that i havent been able to figure out how to change is the actualy tracing line on the screen, its still in the default blue color but i would love to know how to change its color.

It's a morph that will only work with the free version of metamorph since it only has a .thm file.

Thanks, just unzip the contents into your android themes folder and install with metamorph

Looks good, but my Metamorph (free) won't load it.

same here...

it Works fine.all you need to do its change the input back to swype because changing the theme causes it to switch to the android default keyboard. Did You unzip the contents and install using the metamorph theme file? In your sdcard you should have android themes/swype_black_n_blue/ then inside you should see the .thm file and folder. Are you guys also using the swype that was floating around here?

I'm using the actual Swype Beta, and I had originally just tried it from the .zip. When I extract it to Android themes and try to load it from the existing themes(even after replacing it) MM says "the target systems/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk does not exist, skipping"

Its because metamorph only works in system/app/ atm so u have to push your swype.apk to that folder.

Yeah, I didn't take the route of pushing the apk back into the phone. Kinda sucks no one has got it working.

Re: Swype Theme
Works fine for me. Just push swype to /system/app and it works without a hitch. Looks great! Can I request a buuf theme?

Glad to hear out works for you. Buff theme? Dont really know what that is, lol

It would end up looking something like this:
That's the Buuf themed HTC_IME that gIMpSTa made. Buuf is a pretty popular theme theme that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574139

Good job, I'm working on a black and white theme so the keys are all black with white letters. I will prob just have it as a apk to install but meta morph might be my 2nd attempt at other colors...keep up the good work!

works great. had to remove the folder nesting though.

how about HTC's keyboard look?

The buff theme looks real cool, ill go ahead and work on that tonight, as for the htc theme ill also put that on my list. Does anyone care to try and figure out how to change the color of the tracing line? i figure that its in one of the xml files but iam having a hard time accessing them.

I dont understand, what do you mean by moving the apk to system/app. all you need to do is unzip the file into your androidthemes folder then apply the .thm file using metamorph. then your all set.

[Mod] System fonts

Hey guys, coming from a fascinate, we had some mods that I used and was trying out some with the Charge. These are system fonts that will show up in the menu in settings/display settings/font style.
We were flashing fonts from this thread.
They would work but we couldn't figure out how to get them to show up in the font style menu.
The credit goes out to thatdudebutch.
He made these apks and flashable zip to install, but when I tried it, my phone soft bricked. Not sure why, the pathway was correct, but just didn't work.
So, I just took out the meta-inf folder rezipped them, so there are about 70 font.apks in it. I can't believe they charge like a dollar for each font when you hit the "get fonts online" button.
To install, unzip the file and move the whole bunch to the data/app folder. They DO NOT go into the system/font folder. You need to be rooted and use a file manager like root explorer. They will show up in the font style menu and you can choose which to apply.
Download the zip here
Again all credit goes to thatdudebutch.

I'm on GB 2.3.4 leak and this is what I did:
1. Go to a file explorer, FE, that will allow you to edit internal phone files I use “Root Explorer,” and that’s what I’ll be referring. REMEMBER TO BE CAREFUL IN THERE YOU COULD MESS UP YOUR PHONE IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION!!!!
2. In the FE find the “sdcard” and enter
3. Now find the zip you downloaded, I put mine on the root of my SD so it is easy to find, and LONG PRESS.
4. Extract All…now this may be different if you are using another FE; i.e.,
extract to or something of the sort
5. Go to where the files have been extracted
6. Yeah they are all here….
7. Hit menu and then “Multi-select” now if you are using another FE do what
you have to select all the files you want
8. Now that you are done selecting the files you want, copy it…
9. With the files you just copied, back out of the “sdcard” to the root of the
phone and find “data”
10. Now find “app” and enter
11. Whilst in the “app” folder paste the files you always wanted…your done.
Hope this helped

very nice step by step write up

Thanks man. Worked great for me.

black status bar

i use the rom freakcha 1.3
is there any way to make the status bar black?? i use awd launcher and after a reboot the status bar is black, but when i pull it the first time down it will be white.
thanks carsten

Google is your friend:
http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/25718-changing-statusbar-color.html
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/7973-transparent-status-bar-shade-rooted-droid.html

Is transparent black then?
I will try this as I want my notification Bar black too.

No transparent is not black. But the guide there tells you how to change it. It's task that takes 5 minutes of editing in Gimp/PS (took me 5 mins in Photoshop).

Ah - photoshop is out of my league!
I think uot must have the option, I'll add it to list of things to do when I get back home!

It will not work with uot. You need to manually modify the files as said in the thread there. Otherwise keep on with white on stock rom.

Have you searched inside these files? I don't have the stock ROM and I can only guide you "blindly". There should be a "status_bar*.png" set of files; use search as these are inside subfolders, a few levels below the root folder.

hi alex, i found there only this file "status_bar_header_background.9.png"
and this is a black one
I also think there must be another way. when I start the phone, the status bar is indeed black, then yes it changes to white after use. you should be able to prevent just that the color changes! I though the picture alters the change will take place anyway, and then the font color is still dark and therefore not to read

Visual mod 4G icon CM9 ICS

Hello I have my G2X running cyanogenmod's ICS ROM, first of all its great and I want to thank all the devs out there that made it possible.
My question is if there is a possibility to get the 4G icon back on the status bar at the top instead of the H icon? If anyone has any input I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Should be an easy fix. Just pull out the .png files associated with 4g, and rename them to the files associated with H. It's really easy, no unzipping or anything. Simple drag and drop.
The images are located in the SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
The files are named something like stat_sys_data_fully_connected_h
I haven't tried this on ICS and didn't take the time to look through the xml files, but it should still be the same.

Would I be able to do that by plugging my phone into my computer and browsing for the files and replacing them? or would I need to find the icons and place them on my sd card and do it from a file explorer app on the phone?

Easiest way would just be to download the rom to your computer and then use something like winrar to explore the files and pull out the drawable-hdpi folder. Once you do that just change the names around and drag and drop back in to the rom. Flash a way.

Ive tried to unzip the ROM replace the icons and zip it back up but when I try to install it aborts the install in recovery. Any idea why? Sorry to keep at it just want to figure it out lol

Don't unzip and rezip, that's what's screwing you up. Drag and drop the images to their correct location.

So you took the pngs from an apk from a non-ICS rom and put them in the ICS SystemUI.apk?
I haven't ran ICS except for about an hour, but looking through the file it seems that ICS took out the up and down arrows to indicate the sending and receiving of data. So yours in the first picture is messed up b/c the png sizes aren't the same, looking at TarHeelTrigger's uploaded zip, he / she did it right.
On top of the png he uploaded I would take the file stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png and rename it to stat_sys_data_connected_h.png

Damn..yeah I guess thats what happened. Thanks for catching that TarHeelTrigger.
Also, one last question. Were you able to do this from your phone with a file explorer app or did you have to do it from your computer??

I just did it on my laptop with winrar. And I just reversed the "h" with the "4g". So now when you click on the h.PNG it shows a pic of the 4g icon. And when you click on the 4g.PNG it shows a pic of the h icon. And im a guy...just for the record. Lol
