Just curious... anyone successfully use NinjaMorph to change notification icons / theming on the new Skyrocket ICS? I know it worked well on GB... but not sure if it works on ICS. Thx.
I just installed Ninjamorph and idk how to change the notification icons.... where are they located?

Ah OK thaks
EDIT: I cant find Systemui.apk. I can find "sys" and "system" but there is no file called "res" in either of them. I cant seem to find it thanks
Edit2: I found it but when i change the color of the 4G symbol to green, it is still grey..Any idea why?

You have to change ALL of the 4G icons... there are 14 in total (7 for 4G and 7 for 4G/LTE). For 4G, there's 1 for connected... 3 for data in signal strength... 3 for data out signal strength. After you open the drawable-hdpi folder, scroll down and you'll see them.

Omg thank you so much! U my friend are a genius. And this won't screw anything up will it? Cause when i changed the first icon and saved, the 4G icon would NOT appear. I turned on data and everything but the icon never showed up...hmm ill try it anyway. Thanks
Edit: Also, if i deleted every trace of the Vibrate icon, it would go away right? And if i wanted it back, how would i get it back?
Here's what my 4G icon looks like. You can also use Apk.Manager on your PC to change png files, save original stock icons in a separate foldef so you can move them back if you want.

That is so frickin amazing. Why couldnt i have found this sooner... lol. Also, do you know which one to delete to remove the clock from the status bar? And will moving it to another folder remove it as well? Cause i dont wanna completely get rid of it. Thanks so much for your patience.
The clock is not in SYSTEMUI.APK... I think it's in a framework file and not a png (i.e., not as easy to change). Search the forum as I know others have done it.

I did a search, found one but the icons are changed. Does anyone have a .zip to have a clear taskbar (completely see through bar at the top) and leave whatever current icons I have on?

unless its metamorphed then it will change ur icons at the top. the png is in the framework files so what ever the framework file where someone changes the png will also change the icons that are in the framework file. like mentioned above the only other alternative is to use a metamorph to just change that one file.
Can you point me in the direction to that through metamorph?

He cant, no computer.... He needs a signed zip.
Just wondering if someone is already working on changing the lockscreen sliders to a glossy black, moto sliders are fugly. I have seen many posts for people requesting this in other threads and being a noob to theming I have no idea where to start.
What is the name of the file that needs to be modified and in which .apk is it located? I might make this my first "theme" project if I find the file and if this has not already been done.
The sliders are part of framework. Pull framework-res.apk from /system/framework and open the apk in any zip program like 7zip or WinRAR. Then look in the drawable-hdpi and drawable-land-hdpi folders and you should see the sliders. Then edit in Photoshop or something. Put back in framework-res.apk then push back to the phone and reboot.

Not that simple...they're .9.png's. if you just edit them in photoshop they'll mess things up and not turn out right.

nope.. when saved in photo editor it loses its .9 properties...
have to used draw9patch in android sdk to apply guides..
just decompile original apk with apktool or apkmanager to get the original showing you where the guides are located
I changed the colors of the sliders from the dark green whatever color to red using photoshop and they work fine.

You got lucky somehow. All .9's have a 1 pixel border that exist as guides to the OS of where to stretch and where to anchor the image. Changing the color can remove/alter these guides. Rarely can you just change the color of a .9 and expect it to work/appear as it should. I would look at the thread with the how to video for draw9patch if you want to edit the lock sliders or any other .9 image.
Thanks for the info.

Something like this?
BTW this if fully functional, drop it in your framework (rename it!) and push it. If its what you need let me know, ill finish the rest.
Black sliders
If you see page four ... Clear / cant see sliders
you might be able to use ninja morph to apply these, or you need to know how to add files to an apk and push back. These go in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
Dont add these to a decompiled apk! drop these straight into the apk with your perfered method.
Yeah that is what im looking for...if you wanna finish em that would be awesome!

I downloaded your theme and you successfully changed the color, but the slider doesnt slide. But it is still functional. Just doesnt actually show the bar sliding. This is where the .9.png comes into play
My current update.zip that's up right now? The sliders in that don't work? Every one else reports no problems. Could you be more specific.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
I just decompiled my whole theme and checked the sliders. They are compiled and working correctly. Something might of went screwy on your install.

lol, nevermind. I was thinkin you did Froyo Dynomite. The slider doesnt slide in that one.
You can easily changed the color of the sliders. But you have to decompile first. If you just unzip the apk it loses the 9 patch info(see below). If you have a theme and the slider does not slide then this is the reason.

Ahh crap you're right. I never noticed because I always use WidgetLocker. I fixed the notification font and now I'll get going on fixing the sliders. Update will be tonight.

I was wondering if there is a way to reverse icon colors in the status bar. I just downloaded a black status bar and a lot of the icons blend into the black bar (if that makes sense).
If anyone can help me out, thanks. I don't know anything at all about coding and very little about the root process, so a Metamorph option would be the easiest way for me, although I can figure out theming.

Haven´t checked that...best, open file and have a look before you morph.

Wow that is a great idea. I never thought of that haha (still brand new to this stuff). Well, unfortunately it doesn't have icons for Messaging, Gmail and a few others. Thanks for the idea though. Now I know I can check.
Any other ideas?
Anyone know of anything else to do?
Shameless bump because I really want this.
There is a desire morph around somewhere, locate the files or images you want and I can make a morph, just need to know what rom and icons.
Also bumping. Now that CM has theming, I think someone should have one out.

I checked out ninja morph. You're right, it does exactly what you said...EXCEPT you have to modify every icon individually, which ends up being an enormous pain.
Also, I could have missed something but how do you inverse icons directly on the phone? I looked around and still couldnt find anything. Ended up transfering them to the pc and editing them from there.
In the end, I'm just amazed that android doesn't have a unified icon / theming system yet. To edit messages, you have to go in to mms.apk (took me forever to figure that one out), to edit gmail you have to look in gmail.apk, system icons were in framework, etc. What a pain.
Hi everyone! Im making a theme for Gingerbread for the Galaxy Tab and am stuck because of an icon I cant get rid of or find where it is! Can someone help and tell me WHERE the icon (below attached) that pops up on the task bar during Media Scanning, is hidden? I looked everywhere, all system APKs I can think of including framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and cannot find it anywhere. Its driving me crazy!
I've successfully modded stat_notify_sdcard.png, stat_notify_sdcard_prepare.png and stat_notify_sdcard_usb.png from framework-res.apk and during PREPARE SD CARD operations the new updated icons show up.
However during MEDIA SCANNING operations, the old shows up again, no matter what. This stock icon I want to replace is hiding still somewhere else (..I cleaned all caches multiple times just in case and doesn't fix it)
Thanks in advance for the tip!
maybe you find in under music player ?

First, the download successful graphic was indeed in the vending.apk but when the download is not successful the standard red warning triangle is displayed. This graphic is not part of the vending.apk so im assuming its pulled from the standard stat_sys_warning.png from framework-res.apk?
Finally, I need to change and that is the size of the fonts for the date display on the top right of the taskbar. Do you know which XML or file I need to edit to change that font size?

I do believe the status bar clock is controlled by the services.jar and not a particular. Xml file, but ive never edited that clock so i am not 100% positive. Im horrible with smali code. Sorry! Yes the stat-notify-error.png in framework-res would control the statusbar icon for errors while downloading apps.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that one is either framework-res or twframework-res (if you're still on a TW ROM). I thought I saw it in amongst the stat_sys_* images, but I could be completely wrong. I don't think I've tried editing that one.
EDIT: By the way, check in status_bar_expanded.xml and status_bar.xml for some parameters regarding the clock, but be careful cos they can ruin a theme (everything from graphical artifacts to bootloops) quite easily.

So you want to replace the icons with new icons. Do u have the icons u want? And if so you need to pull the the three apks from your phone and open them and find the icons and change them with what you want. Then put them back in your systems/app folder and restart your phone if that's what u are talking about anyways
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
If you just want to change the icons, Find some you like and use the app (free) Desktop Visualiser
its as simple as that.
If you want to theme the whole app, Use 7zip to open the apk, Look inside the /res /drawable and modify all the icons and pngs with photoshop or other software.
idk what you want to change , but in every app + system app , if you open it with winrar or 7zip you will find folder called (RES) inside the app in this folder you will find three folders that contain the icons that the app display , from there you can change the icons , make sure it has the same dimensions.
PS: if its not system app then you have to ask the dev permission .

The phone and contacts images are both in the contacts.apk and the messaging is in the mms.apk. From memory I think they are in the drawable-xhdpi and are labeled something along the lines of ic launcher phone, contacts mms.
