Is there any way to change status car icons besides metamorph? Metamorph sometimes convert back to stock icon is there a permanent way?
You should replace the original SystemUI apk in system/app (the location for most device)
if u have a root browser, go to system/app, find SystemUI.apk and view it , in the res folder u can find the status bar icons in the folders inside the res one
Search systemUI.apk from here, the XDA
there should be one that can fit your needs

Hi,
I'm trying to add some additional icons to framework-res.apk, not by adding them to the zipped version, but by puttng them in the correct directory and repacking framework-res.apk using aapt. The problem is that after I flash this update the phone boots correctly, but the icons in the status bar display incorrectly. The wrong icons are displayed, for instance the HSDPA icon is displayed as a battery 20% icon. My guess is this problem has to do with services.jar expecting the file to be zip aligned. Is there any solution to this?
Is there a way to change the colors of the wifi/data, phone signal and battery icons in the status bar? I'm currently using weapon 2.4, so I'm rooted and was wondering if it might be a simple file edit to do so. If there is an app that lets you do that, I haven't found it yet but I would love to know how they work so I can potentially assign each icon a different custom color. Thanks in advance for any help.
--UPDATE--
ok so from what i've read so far it looks like i'm going to be editing some lines in the classes.dex which i extracted from the services.jar file in the framework folder. when I open up the classes.dex with baksmali i cannot find the \com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali file .. not just in that folder but anywhere within the expanded classes.dex archive. Is StatusBarIcon.smali where I'll be able to change the color of the icons in the notification bar or am I completely off track here?
You want to change the color of the icons? They are png files in the SystemUI.apk, so either pull them out and edit them in some photo software, find icons you like and add them, use a theme, or use UOT Kitchen.
do you have the "Theme Chooser" app on your phone?
If so, you might want to check out some themes and install one of those
or use Metamorph or a zip application to make your own
and remember, always backup your rom
Just use NinjaMorph, and edit SystemUI.apk... If you're looking to make them green, check my thread in the Themes section.

TouchWiz30Launcher has 3 files in res/xml

Click to expand...

I have a question that's somehow related to this, i replaced my default browser in /system/app but after doing that, a shortcut is not created in the dock and the position for this just became empty
So my dock icons are " Phone , Contacts , Menu , Messages , EMPTY"
how can i solve this?
Thanks
I used to be able to extract the PNGs from icon themes because Notification Toggle can't change icons unless its saved on your gallery, but recently they changed locations and I cant find them. I've been using root explorer trying to search for the folder location to extract the PNGs of certain icon packs (like Nox for example) ...anybody know the location of these icon packs?
they dont show up under system/app or data/app\
EDIT: never mind found it under MNT/ASEC/
mods please delete post
Is there a mod or a way to turn the sense 6 status bar fully transparent like AOSP KitKat, unlike its current half transparency. Please do not suggest exposed, I'd rather edit system files.

Status bar (and others....)
If you decompile SystemUI.apk (found in /system/priv-app), look for status_background.9.png in res/xxhdpi and edit the image to make fully transparent. The xxhdpi folder also has the images for all the status bar and quick toggle icons if you should choose to change those as well...
As a note - I did this on my work computer (without actually decompiling the apk) by extracting SystemUI.apk to my dropbox and then simply renaming it to SystemUI.zip and decompressing it with 7-zip. After I made the changes I wanted (signal icons, wifi, nav bar bg, and some others), I re-zipped the contents of SystemUI (not the folder itself as it will make a redundant directory in the zip file and break your SystemUI), I renamed back to SystemUI.apk and placed the new SystemUI.apk in the appropriate directory, making sure permissions are set correct. Then reboot....
This worked for me... it's a bit tedious, but I get bored at work sometimes... lolz.
