I want to switch to a different rom but I really like the battery/notification bar and drop down.
What files in the flashable zip do I keep then replace in the new flashable zip I want to install so that I can keep the same icons?

pulled the png files from that theme and i only want that icon in my taskbar, i dont want the resy of the framepak.res or whatever its called
is there a way for me to replace these files?
update: so i found the .png files in the rom im using can i just replace and reflash the rom....that seems to simple
or can i pack them in a zip file and have metamorph apply them????? would that work
I really like the txt msg and gmail notification bar icons that chingy uses in gingeritis....anyway to get those for other roms?
Download the Rom you want icons from and the Rom you plan to use on a pc. Use winrar or 7zip to open un the zip files. Navigate to system, then framework, then it'll either be in framework res.apk, or com.htc.resources.apk. if the icons aren't in either of those it may be in systemui.apk (because its gingerbread which I haven't used) this is located in system, then app. It may be easier to find the icons by unzipping the Rom you want the icons from (in order to unzip an apk you need to first zip it and rename it .zip instead of .apk then unzip)
Check out UOT Kitchen
UOT Kitchen gives you some customization options for Battery, Icons, ect... May not be exactly what you are looking for but its fun to customize things and it's pretty idiot proof. You upload your files, make the changes, it spits out a ZIP, you flash it in recovery.
I use BAMF but I hate the battery icon it defaults with so I just change it after every update to the Rom they push out.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Normally the text and gmail (and email) icons are stashed in their own .apk file. I just changed mine over the weekend to match my other colorful icons. I had to edit the Mail.apk, Gmail.apk and Mms.apk to get those icons to show up. The framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk (GB ROM) is where you will find the other icons for signal, battery etc..
I use ADB to copy those files out, make the changes put them back and then reboot the phone. You could also make the changes and then put them in a flash-able zip to be flashed via recovery
well i want to pull different apk from another rom and add to my rom. i would like the dialer and also the notification bar. if you can show and teach me that would be awesome thanks.
dialertabactivity.apk.
go into system/app on 1 rom. copy it using root explorer. paste it on your sd card. move it back to system/app on the rom you want to put it on. or just drag and drop on your computer. there is no guarantee that the apk will work on your current rom, so make backups.
the notification bar is the framework.apks. you would be better off using UOT kitchen because exchanging the framework can cause major problems if it was not made for your rom
i want to change the icons of the status bar but not sure how
i have the icons on my SDcard and i am rooted on droid charge 2.3.6 kernel 2.6.35.7-ep4
i have metamorph, rom manager, root exploerer superuser but no matter what i do even after reboot it wont theme i think i am putting them in the wrong spot
WHERE DO I COPY THE ICONS TO REPLACING THE STOCK ICONS?
THANKS....
Be lazy like the rest of us, use ROM Toolbox Pro from the market
MoPhoACTV Initiative
thanks i will give that a try......
MOD ICON BORDER REMOVER FOR FLEX THEME
Hi,
UNTESTED Looking for testers. please!
This flashable ZIP should remove the black border icons of the Flex Theme.
I used to have Pardus ROM installed but not anymore so cannot test it on my machine.
I have extracted the icons and install ZIP from CloudyFlex and just relocated them for the MultiHome_Theme_Z_v1.apk in Pardus.
It will only change the icons, there is nothing else in this flashable ZIP (you can check).
Please don't test this if you are unsure how to get back to your original settings. I am not responsible for damaging your phone (it really shouldn't unless you do something really wrong yourself).
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. make a copy of /data/app/MultiHome_Theme_Z_v1.apk and keep it somewhere safe.
2. if you have space on your phone and more time then do a full nandroid backup but the above step 1 should get you back in case this does not work.
3. reboot to recovery
4. flash the ZIP file
5. reboot to system
To restore previous theme, just copy your original MultiHome_Theme_Z_v1.apk back to /data/app and change the permissions. Then reboot.
Should work on old variants.
Could someone please test it and report?
Thanks!
