Tools you will need
-the original apk u want to modify +plus backup of it (framework apk & system ui.apk)
-system ui.apk located in system/app folder of any gb rom!!!!
-framework apk located in /system/framework folder any rom including cm7 -froyo miui ics so on lol...
-you will also need this zip which will be attached to the bottem of the post.
-also java sdk- properly setup will not go into this on this thread as it goes over -the scope of what im trying to show this is for people that already know and or -have some understanding of how to thme / modify a rom
-notepad++ for windows users
First off yor going to want to copy the contents of said zip into your framework apk
the location they need to be copied is /res/drawable-hdpi
all 3 files this will give u a transparent glass effect which will be what we are using
second off you will need apktool or equivalent but for this guide ill be going over how to use apktool to decompile and recompile it
copy your system ui to your apktool directory then open a command prompt in windows and navigate to that directory please refer to windows if you do not know how to change directories
apktool d systemui.apk ./systemui
you will see the progress
baslmaking.... copying resources xmls smali etc
you may get some ping 9 errors thats ok as we wont be using the modified apk just some of the files out of it once done
ok now you have your new shinny folder
navigate to res/layout
the file that needs modification is
status_bar.xml---OPEN THIS IN NOTEPAD++ OR YA MANY SPECIAL THINGS WILL HAPPEN
the second line should read or something similar
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#F0000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
you need to change it to this
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#77000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
most notably the #77000000
that will make your statusbar transparent
save your work!!!!!
take your systemui.apk and make a copy of it somewhere just in case
actually make 2
then rename the systemui.apk thats in the apkfolder to systemui.bak so it does not get overwritten!!!
then from your command prompt type this:
apktool b ./systemui systemui.apk
hit enter
it should now say smaling... rebuilding resources bla bla bla
and then after you have a shinny new apk
adb push that back to your device or flash via cwm
wala!!! if you loose your status bar after this happens lol it can happen
take the status_bar.xml out of the new systemui.apk and copy it into res/layout on one of the backups (hence why i said make a backup lol and flash that!!!
wala you should now have transparent status bar in your rom once its booted
(also note you may not see it if your launcher does NOT SUPPORT transparent status bars!!!!!) ADW IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS....
win!!!

the nice advange is i have a new method of doing it which will be added to the new update.... so long as yuor launcher supports
let launcher handle background images check box if you un check it the status bar is half transparent..
if you get tired of it check the box that says let the launcher handle it it goes back to being black so now u get the best of both worlds no need to re theme the rom
hey raver is there an easier way to do this or is this the only way i want to do this to my status bar but i dont know how to use apktool tried looking it up on the web still couldnt figure it out.

oh for people that it dont work for if you ever used uot kitcen on ur system ui
You need to decompile your system ui
navigate to
systemui/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar
ticker smali
status bar smali
Look for const v4 it will have 0x03
those need to be cahanged to -0x3
also uot has a nasty habbit of addng new values in so if you see Const v0 0x03
change those to -0x03
recompile enjoy
hey raver have u done this to the roms u added status bar transparencies too. if so could i just take the ticker smali and statusbar smali out of your systemui and just use it in my systemui. will that work
hey im trying uot but it keeps giving me security error can anyone help..
It has nothing to do with smali. I will send them to you when I have my home computer

Hey gang. I know a lot of people know of JsChiSurf. You should. That man is one of the main reasons I do what I do today. Buy him some beers or fund his retirement
Anyways. He came up with a mod that can change the Sprint Banner in the Sense Lockscreen. The hack is pretty straightforward yet awesome. I based this mod off of his. Check it out here
His goal was to use a hex editor to modify the text, but I am taking a different approach. We have so many tools available now. Apktool, apk manager, and of course, Android Utility. This is for Sense 1.0 ota 4.54 Evo 4g.
This mod is easy to do.
Tools: Android-Utility, or apktool, Java
Download the attached files below: HtcLockScreen.apk and Testsign.jar
1. Have com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk from your rom ready
2. Decode the apk like this if using apktool, run in command prompt or terminal:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
apktool d HtcLockScreen.apk out
3. Now, you should have a folder called "out"
4. Open the folder and look for res/layout/lock_screen_bar.xml
5. Open the xml in Notepad ++ or Gedit
6. Search for where it says "EVO Classic"
7. Change it to your desired text
8. Save and exit
9. Now, we compile the apk
Code:
apktool b out HtcLockScreen-new.apk
10. Now, we resign the apk.
Code:
Method A:
Open the original apk with 7-zip.
Take out the entire "META-INF" folder.
Open new apk with 7-zip.
Put in META-INF folder.
Method B: (only works on Evo Classic and other roms with signature verification off)
type in this command:
java -jar testsign.jar HtcLockScreen-new.apk HtcLockScreen-signed.apk
11. Download the sample Update.zip Found here, attached at bottom
12. Put the apk (renamed to HtcLockScreen.apk) inside the zip under system/app/
13. Flash and enjoy!
Sorry if this isn't noob-friendly enough. I tried to come up with a different way but this is all I got. The details are all there.
Please try it first.
But if you really can't get it, feel free to request a specific word or banner. I can upload them for you.

Only changes the Banner Text. Lockbar will not be included.

I'm guessing we can still use sprint apps, because this only changes the banner. Would I be correct?

for flashable zip, follow blackedition link on my signature, and download "colourful notification bar" theme from op.
@mods
close this thread.
Posting here my SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and my build.prop.
(mediafire links below)
SystemUI.apk
This one originally taken from wolfbreak v6, and done some theming on my part. contains coloured notification bar icons. and the quickpanel (on-off toggles on notification bar) also has coloured icons.
framework-res.apk
Stock 2.3.3 SE framework-res.apk has coloured icons and beautiful flip-n-fold animations. Also circullar 100 level battery and animated charging battery.
Both framework-res and systemUI have color coded notification icons. (i.e. blue for bluetooth, yellow adb, green for email etc etc) along with that signal and wifi levels are also color coded (4-bars = blue, 3-bars = green like that...) (data is also coloured. upload=red, download=green, both up and down = yellow)
This will work on *any* stock based 2.3.3 rom. (I've personally tried on wolfbreak, tripnraver, stock)
build.prop
just general tweaks. to make phone a little faster and more responsive here and there. (eg. proximity delay, windowsmgr events, dalvik=int:jit and others)
the values that are modified from stock build.prop are in a separate section "arnav's mods" so you can know which are changed.
click here for the code details
important note
if anyone can make an update.zip file out of these three files please do. you are certainly welcome. just notify me if you come up with it. thanks in advance.
installation
adb push, or "cp" using any terminal emulator

the first picture, is from system ui and the second of framework?
having problems downloading systemUI, will ttry it tomorrow
clarifications
those power buttons in the pull down menu is the magic of SystemUI.apk, the circular battery is due to framework-res.apk and the icons in the status bar, some are from framework-res and others are from systemui. eg bluetooth icon = framework-res, signal bars = systemui.apk like that

I would like to see everyone getting evolved with personalizing there phone to their liking. Minor theming is not hard at all (i can do it lol). But its opens a door to what can be done with alot of effort from you. We wont have this phone forever, and it is a difficult one to mod, so by starting on this one it should only get easier... right?
Im gonna be stepping back on theming and mod investigations for a few weeks, im still in process of moving and everything is getting packed soon, un packed when house is ready in couple weeks.
These are necessities for tools to start customizing your rom.

[THEME TOOLS]
I.D.i.O.T : Theme DataBase [NEW FEATURES]
Auto Theme Porter [OP] : Used to port themes [.pngs/.9s only] that have same file names, works great for froyo to froyo port. GB and ICS have to do by hand with name changes etc. This is easy way of porting images, you will still have to edit xmls.
[EDITOR TOOLS]
7zip : Oh so essential for apks!
Notepad++ : Needed to edit XMLs.
To be continued....
Theme guides
These are great guides to share, all have basics but great to cross reference for troubleshooting.

IF you are looking at skinning, I would say most of your edits will be in xml files.
There will be an apk associated with the widget. I would start by decompiling that, using apkmanager (That is my preference. I haven't played with any of the programs ciscogee is recommending) and starting with simple PNG edits. Then work your way up from there.

One thing I forgot to mention. You will need to install the SDK, java dev kit., and have adb in your path, to use apkmanager. Ciscogee has a tut linked in the op for that.

Now you are starting to learn what to ask. No, you don't. Xml controls what images are shown, where they appear on the screen, and the text colors and sizes. But changing the actual colors of the buttons themselves doesn't affect the xml.

Unzip the apk with the imgs u want to port.
Then open your apk you want to mod with 7z
Drag imgs from port apk to the 7z window and replace.
Make sure they have the same name.
Are the imgs also hdpi?
Close 7z window and save changes etc.
Put your apk in a flashable zip.
(Use trailblazers themer, [copy apk in same folder as batch and drag into batch, follow on-screen instructions. ])
Flash in cwm
Clear cache and dalvick.

I can help you with settings .apk,and you dont need to decompile to modify the icons,just download 7zip,when you installed it,right click on the .apk and extract it you will see the folders with the icons,then replace what you want,when you are done,just right click again in the .apk and just select open,navigate to the folder and just copy the images you replaced,close all and thats all.
its simple as that.

I use apktool to decompile SE apps, just drag the APK over apktool-d, did u try that?
just figured out that i had to install framework-res.apk and semcgenericuxpres.apk by the command
apktool if "name".apk
then i could decompile

I just installed v8 on locked bootloader and its working fine.
reboot into xrecovery and try fixing permissions in advanced options.
btw did u use CWM? or xrecovery?
sorry I dont hv a unlocked bootloader device to test it .
Sorry, I meant Locked bootloader. I used xrecovery to flash. I will try again with fix permission.
Thank you very much for an excellent work and a prompt response.

I am currently theming the TouchWiz on ICS to look more like ICS. This is what I have so far:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The two things I'm currently having is that
1) I'm not sure how to safely theme the button that says "Clear" when you have notifications. The files look a bit weird and have shadows on them.
2) I want to make the status backgrounds black (Info, USB connected for example). I've looked around, but all the images mentioned don't exist in the SystemUI or framework-res apks.
You'll need to edit /system/framework/twframework-res.apk as well.
I'm more curious how you were able to get the framework files to recompile. I wasn't able to without APKTool spitting out tons of of errors. I've even updated to the most recent aapt.bat file and I still get nothing but errors.

APK Manager was throwing the same errors. All errors with the public.xml and strings.xml files. I just downloaded the deodexed ROM so I'm going to see if that makes a difference.

By the way, I have themed SystemUI, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk for GB if you'd like the files. PM me and I can send them or setup a download for you guys.

ICS has changed a lot of the theming layouts and changed the backgrounds from images to color codes. You can change the color codes by editing the XML in the drawable folders or you can redirect them back to using images. Look at the status bar expanded XML in the layout folder of the system UI and that will lead you to where you need to look

You need to decompile the apk to see the xmls. Just unzipping them will no longer work.
How are you guys getting the TW apks on ICS to decompile correctly? I have tried to decompile the Camera.apk and Contacts.apk from a deodexed rom and both apktools and APK Multi-Tool just throw me the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: bad magic value: 64 65 78 0a 30 33 36 00". It always works fine with the GB TW apps... Maybe I will give it a try on Ubuntu quick.
But any insight on this would be wonderful.

Have you installed the proper frameworks with apktool? Also at the moment there is a special set up for working with ICS apks. A search for decompiling ICS will get you there

I did have the proper framework installed, I guess I was just using a version of apktool.jar that didnt work with ICS apks. Got it to work though. Thanks!
