[Q] Green Gingerbread icons

I have successfully used the UOT Kitchen to modify the icons and fonts, etc. but I now want to add the "green if connected to Google" icons which I didn't see in the kitchen.
Can someone explain how this can be done? Can I just modify the framework-res.apk or is this another kind of tweak or fix??
Thanks
PS: I can't see any themes around anymore that offer this (I am on WB v5 + DL custom kernel at the moment)

If you are on stock rom you can use Achotjan flashable zip in android development section (i can't post here the link cause i'm on mobile but you can easily find it watching on achotjan threads on his profile)..otherwise if you are on a different rom..you can copy and replace icon.png images from achotjan framework to your! good luck

Thanks, I don't want a new ROM - just the green icons. I currently have green icons but not the ones that only go green when you are connected to Google services.
I am looking for JUST that part only.

I have used those once before, but the files don't exist on those links anymore. I would like a dev to explain if this is something that we can do ourselves, or if it is some complicated hack.....

I want it. Please upload if its not too much trouble... Btw i'm running wolfs tw v5. Will it work on this ROM?

I would like to be able to do it myself as I already have a customised framework and systemUI.apk.
If someone could explain the process that would be great.

you just need to replace the correct icons in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk then replace them on your phone.
The way i did it was copy .apk file to computer, change extension to .rar, open it in winrar (not extract), extract the hdpi-drawable folder then replace icons, copy that hdpi-drawable folder with the new icons back into winrar and it will ask you to repack the .rar, after that change the extension back to .apk and copy it to the correct folder. The framework-res.apk one is ok to copy back but if you do the systemui.apk one you will get endless fc until you can restart your phone so i think you have to install it through flashtool?

I think that you have to replace the images without extract the entire apk otherwise you need to resign it when you finish! Anyway..framework is not involved..wifi and signal icons are sustemUI related only..i will upload it in few hours..then you can watch inside for the green icons and do it yourself! Pay attention..cause if you do something wrong probably the phone won't boot up or gives fc!

Thanks for the file. I am able to change the icons using the kitchen, but I need to understand how just replacing the icons gets them to change colour when connected to Google?? Is the code already there and the icons are all the same colour so we just don't see it with the stock icons?
I have made other changes to my SystemUI so I don't want to lose those changes - that's why I want to be able to change my own files.
Is it really just a case of changing the icons to get the desired effect? Is it some specific icons that are needed, or any icons? *still confused*

Mate..open the file that i post..inside you can find systemUI.apk..opne it with winrar and extract drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop..you will see all your icons..the images named "....fully.png" are colored green!! You must replace your current icon in your custom SystemUi with this ones!! Is it more clear now?

do you mean how the data icon and the signal bars change from green to white/grey?? cause if so then yes just changing the .pngs will be fine cause i did it with my own systemui/framework.

Thanks all. That's what I wanted to know.

UOT Kitchen It's a great online theming kitchen. Very easy to use. You chose what you want, upload the particular files, go to the pickup page, wait a bit, and before long, you get a flashable zip...

You need to learn how to use apk manager, apk tool, or apk multi tool and get really familiar with decompiling/recompiling .apks. But yes, editing the xml should do the trick...
There is actually a thread in one of the sections (probably the theming section) here that tells you how to make the background of the status bar transparent, so I'm sure the same steps would apply to changing it to white to whatever your desired color is.
Or you could just flash a different ROM or theme...lol

The only rom I have successfully cooked a theme using UOT was Whitehawkx Valhalla Final. UOT has issues extracting the apk. Atleast that is what I was told. editing the xml is probably going to be the best bet. Like thomas says getting familar with decompiling and recompiling will be the best idea.

This will be a good start -

For the status bar to look like Jellybean, all you need to do is extract your SystemUI.apk and open it with 7zip and change the icons found in drawable folder with that of any Jellybean based SystemUI.apk. Note that you may need to resize the images into LDPI based resolution, not a big deal though.
For adding toggles, there is no way other than decompiling and recompiling.

[GUIDE] How to change Status Bar Icons [Easy way 4 noobs]

Hi guys, after getting so many requests on my Sweet ROM thread for this icons or that icons I thought I would show you the easiest way so that you can change your own.
Please note this guide is based on Windows operating system
You will need:
A computer with Windows
7zip (free program available HERE)
systemUI.apk from your current rom
systemUI.apk from rom (or mod) with icons you want
some brains
1. Extract systemUI.apk that you are using in your rom and place it where you want it on your pc.
Right click on the systemUI.apk and select 7zip/Open archive. This open up the apk and you can now see the folders inside.
You now need to open res folder, locate drawable-xhdpi folder and drag this out to your pc.
Once it has copied over open the new drawable-xhdpi folder on your pc and here you will find a heap of png images.
Download this file and extract the folder from it. Here you will find all the Status Bar Icon images. So looking through them you will recognise battery, wifi, bluetooth etc images that show on your status bar. these are the images you need to change for different themes, eg S4 white icons etc.
2. Now open the systemUI.apk with the images you wish to add and copy out the drawable-xhdpi folder.
Now in this folder locate & copy the images you want over to the drawable-xhdpi folder you created in Step 1.
3. Once you have copied all the new images you need to re-open the archive of your rom systemUI.apk from Step 1. with 7zip.
Now open res folder and delete the drawable-xhdpi folder from in the archive.
4. Drag your new drawable-xhdpi folder (with your new images inside) into the 7zip archive.
Once this has been copied over to you 7zip archive use the green arrow (under the Add button) to go back up a level until you are at systemUI.apk. Now with it highlighted use the "Test" button to make sure it is ok.
Now we can close 7zip and you should have your systemUI with new status bar icons.
5. Make a backup of your rom (just in case) and push your new systemUI.apk back to your phone either manually with Root Explorer (or similar file manager) and set permissions rw--r--r-- or flash it from cwm.
For a flashable zip please see majdinj's flashable zip how to HERE
I hope this quick guide can help some of you learn to make your own simple icon mods.
Some examples of different Status Bar themes you can make this way

You mean like center clock etc? That takes xml or smali edits which require more knowledge and to decompile the apk. There are other threads on xda that will help you with that
