I think some use uot kitchen
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
UOT kitchen is very basic. Only mods framework.apk, tw-framework.apk and systemui.apk. All other apps you need to mod yourself. Look into apkmanager.

Agreed, for simple icon changes (appearance) you can extract the apk, edit the icons to your desire, then push them back into the apk and push or flash it. There isn't much to it.

cool cool thanks guys going to give it a try
If you are trying to change themes on any of the miui roms, and they aren't changing, try this:
Open root explorer, go to /data/system, in this folder create a new folder called "theme". After you have created the folder you should be able to change themes under settings.

Pull out the SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk of your from the images you need and xml file to do what you want are in there. De-compile with apk tool and do your changes then recompile it and push back to your system/app folder.

Use Metamorph from the market to extract the SystemUI.apk in /system/app folder then copy the new images over and use Metamorph to rebuild the app.

Can you link me to a how-to lol
I have all of the images in the res/drawable-hdpi file like they need to be, what's the next step? I have googled the crap out of this subject and I cannot find an answer that makes sense. I'm sorry if this is obvious but I need help.

They have to have the correct name to be called out

And depending in in the rom you might have to edit 2 XML files to add the 1% settings
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk 2
Well I think the names are right. I did hear somewhere that you have to edit the xml, but I'm not sure exactly what needs to be edited. If I can get someone to walk me through this ill definitely make a how-to for future reference.

Yeah if you're trying to mod it for a TW rom you have to edit 2 xml files in res/drawable. They are:
stat_sys_battery.xml
stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
You have to change them so they read from 0-100 that way the 100% battery mod actually reads correctly. You'll see right away what needs to be changed. And make sure you have all the png's in the right folder and they are named correctly.
After that recompile and in the folder that was created when you decompiled should be a new folder called Build or something like that, the new apk is in there. Then you have to take the meta-inf folder and androidmanifest.xml from the ORIGINAL apk and copy them into the new one with 7zip or whatever you use. Zipalign and it's ready. Either push it to system/app with ADB or pack it into a flashable zip and have at it.

Some of the apps on my phone can read the xml, but when I swapped them out using ninjamorph it broke my SystemUI. After a reboot my battery Icon is gone completely. I'm guessing I'll still have to decompile and recompile.

Yeah if you can read words in the file then it needs the complie

I have the images in my res/drawable-hdmi folder already, I just haven't had time to see if I can figure out the 1% increments. If you could help that would save me time? Want a copy of my systemui? If rather you use that opposed to pulling a copy from the stock ROM seeing as I have ask the battery images and my modified 4G LTE icons already in place.
