Have you tried the UOT kitchen? You should be able to add all the icons you need.
Uot kitchen does not work on skyrocket ics. Framework. And systemui.apk
U have to theme it the real way with apktool and smali/baksmali
Cant cheat
So enjoy.
Search function is your friend there is all the knowledge you need to do this u just hsve to reasearch it.
As it is to intensive for someone to just telk u a quick how to.
Good luck

Agreed and confirmed. UOT kitchen fails on ICS - I tried numerous times with various combinations, framework, systemUI and tw-framework etc. but no go.

Ok im getting pretty good at editing frameworks and finally got a working theme for bionix!!! I think it looks pretty good, it gives Bionix Frost a cooler look!!! but let me know what you guys think. The pics will be posted in a minute.
Stuff Ive Themed So Far:
Nuke Green Status Bar
Themed Drop Down Menu w/New Icons,Transparent Background and Custom Galaxy Tab!!
Download and Slider Bars are Themed
Pop Up Menus Glow
Usb icons Are Changed
Lockscreen Themed
Like everybody else says im not responsible for bricks!! I have had this theme all day testing with no problems but this is just version 1 ill be adding more to the theme as i go. Also note i had a force close of titanium backup right after pushing the files not sure why just rebooted and never had a problem again and yes titanium back still works perfect i checked.
Just unzip and push both files to system/framework then reboot.
Heres the pics enjoy
Looks good. Look in res/layout/status_bar_expanded.XML to find the lines for the white background on your notification pulldown. ;-)

you have to decompile framework-res.apk in order to convert the xml's from binary to text, then recompile once done.
the drop down menu runs from twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. i don't know which changes it so i always cook the status bars the same in both files. i think if u try again u should get in done in uot kitchen.

Yeah i always cook both files the same way i just think theres something diffrent about the bionix frameworks? would stock kd1 frameworks work on bionix? Im probably just going to edit the xml and be done with it. Thanks for the freedback.

Ok krylon i decompiled it with apk by putting the framework-res.apk in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder then hitting decompile then it decompiled it to the projects folder then i changed the status_bar_expanded but how do i compile it back?? apk ask me for a project number and the only one that shows up is the original apk??? Also i added a pic below let me know if i changed the right thing. I circled the color code that changed it to black #0000 it was originally #FF000 wich i think is white right?? thanks for helping this noob out

Do you guys know how to replace the icons on the app drawer??
any way like flashing it?
thanks...
fastest way : use one of the launcher (go launcher,adw,etc) and then download the theme....
other way : decompile,change icon, compile back some apk (CMIIW)....but I never try it before, so I don't know which apk you must decompile.... sorry for that...

You have to change the apk's icons one by one if you don't use any launchers that supports icon packs (stock launcher)

WinRAR's Compression methods are different than that of 7-ZIP and I am not sure if you will end up with the correct compression for your modified APK file....

when openend you find only filemaps with the name of an app like mms.apk
insinde is res map and another map
just place in the last map your icon rename it like thevicon in there and zip it again
but i think you will need to mod an xml file because the fit is an ldpi screen ....

Oh yes, I get errors every time "decompile-compile" is involved. The only way I managed to change window animations was to replace the original anim-folder from framework-res.apk with the tweaked one Surprisingly this method didn't work with ICS-transition effect.

I know that the softkeys can be changed to display words instead of the icons. I have found some images that have them as such but can't seem to get to work when using the custom framework maker. Am I missing something or does anyone have text image files that will work.

are the imgs u have to replace them pngs? easiest way is to rightclick framework-res.apk and open with 7zip. then drang new pngs over ones in assests folder.
then try and drag that new eddited apk into framework maker. to make a package to flash.

Well the softkeys have to be alighned. Open existing PNGs in paint or whatever and alighn new ones and save. Then run themer.

thank you, checked the sizeds and they were different. now stuck at the decomling stage in themer.
Your making it way more difficult than it should be lol.
Look for older soft keys posts in our theme section.
There are easier ways in there. No decompile needed for softkey.

Yes. Use the .dex file for the alpha level and just change the statusbar_background.png to the desired transparency level and thats it . Just remember to add @color/transparent to the date background, otherwise it will show when you expand the statusbar and add the proper change from #ff000000 to @drawable/statusbar_background.
