Most of these directions will work for both ICS and JB, Batt mod and Toggles need to be updated for JB
These mods are for the stock Photon Q. How to install and make your own below.
Special Thanks goes to Rangerbry, without his work here, none of us would be enjoying toggles or 1% battery.
Thanks to mrvirginia for his collection of battery mods here, as well as all the authors of these mods listed there.
As always, I am not responsible if your phone blows up. Always nandroid before changing anything in the system.
To install:
These will work on Odexed & Deodexed frameworks.
Download Zipthemer from the market
Open ZipThemer, open menu and select Update Edify
Select a flashable system zip using the browse option (Rangerbry's deodexed works fine, he also has an odexed zip posted there if you are odexed)and select.Find his work on JB Here
On the main screen press +Theme, point it to where you downloaded the modded zip file from this thread.
You should be back at the main screen, you can select other zips if you would like to flash multiple skins in one flash. When you are done press: Build It. ZipThemer will ask if you would like to create a zip to return to stock, that is up to you.
After it is done boot into recovery and flash the file, unless you changed the settings, it should be on the root of your internal sd.
Reboot your phone and you should have a new shiny skin.
Make your own:
Traditionally, you would adb pull your SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk from system/app or system/framework; decompile, make your changes, recompile, and push back to your phone. I still do this, well I keep a copy of one on hand that I have already recompiled and use 7zip to move the files around.
Zipthemer does this for you, it pulls the apk, pushes the changes to it and packages it in a nice zip file for your flashing pleasure. The real advantage here being, it is easy to share, anyone can use it because it depends on the apk located on each specific device. Also, it can be used to change any number of files across multiple apk's, in a single file. Or several smaller mods can be combined into a single flashable zip..
The mod file works in two parts, first the control file holds the description and general location of the files to be edited:
HTML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MophoQ 1% batt CM9 Circle Mod</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>fallnSaint</author>
<phone>Photon Q</phone>
<rom>Stock</rom>
<themedescription>CM9 Circle Mod 1% Batt Icon For Photon Q</themedescription>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description>changes the Stock 1% Battery Icon to A CM9 Circle Battery Icon</description>
The important bits here are item and path. Item tells the program what to edit and path tells it where to find it. I use Notepad++ to edit these, it is a nice, easy to use, and free program. When you are done editing, rename the control file to what you are going to name the mod.
The second part of the zip file is a folder named after the item, since most of these mods work in SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi/ the folder would have to be set up in this manor as well. The modified content would be placed in a folder named drawable-hdpi, that folder would be placed inside a folder named res, which would be put in a folder named SystemUI. All the file and folder names have to be identical, down to punctuation and capitalization.
Once you have all this set-up, use 7zip or the like to create a zip using the control file first, named after the control file. Then add the SystemUI folder to the zip and you are done.
Feel free to use one of the existing mods here to play with it.

You shouldn't have to unzip anything unless you would like to manually add these to your SystemUI.apk, Just download the zip and follow the directions in the op with Zipthemer. Make sure you have updated edify in Zipthemer using one of Rangerbry's Odexed or Deodexed zips (depends on your framework).
Let me know if this is still an issue.
I only got the blue soft key to work... i may just wipe my phone and re try...

Fresh install may be the best, I doubt if trying to flash the unzipped files would have messed anything up, but you never know.
If you haven't wiped yet you could try clearing data on zipthemer, uninstall, delete zipthemer folder from sd, & clear cache. Then start fresh w updating edify...
Lemme know how it goes.

All credit for how this works goes to the following poster dhiru1602 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027935
I wanted to learn how to do my own custom overscroll (color etc.) for a theme I'm building. Anyhow, it turns out to not be so complicated if you know what you are doing and are a developer. This is mostly for any devs out there that want to include overscroll in their Gingerbread themes.
TEAM ACID gives back. Please give credit where credit is do, and if this helps ya, feel free to thank us.
PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BOOTLOOPS, BRICKS, MAD WIFE'S AND/OR GF'S, LOST TIME ETC. lol xD. ALSO OVERSCROLL ONLY WORKS FOR GINGERBREAD ROMS
1. Get the framework.jar file from your /system/framework/ folder
- Make a backup of this file in case you screw up, and need to push it back onto your device, to resolve bootloops etc. (NOTE: I literally just dev'ed this up by following the different directions and had no issues)
2. Open up framework.jar on your computer via WinRAR (is what I used) whatever archive program should work.
3. Copy the classes.dex file from the framework out into your directory
4. Use baksmali to extract the smali files from the classes.dex file (See Required Tools below)
5. Command Syntax:
java -jar baksmali-1.2.6.jar -o <output directory> <.dex file, typically classes.dex>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Inside of the output directory you will find /android/widget.
7. Download the following zip (Overscroll_source zip etc. see attached files) and extract the files from it and copy them into that widget folder overriding the existing files (Again credit goes to dhiru1602 for these files)
8. Once the files are in there you are going to need to do some work to get the resource ID's for the png's in the framework-res.apk so you can link them up with the smali files.
9. Get framework-res.apk from /system/framework and decompile it with apktool or apkmanager and modify the following file. You need to open up the /res/values/public.xml. Do a search for "overscroll_edge"
10. You will find two items "overscroll_edge" and "overscroll_glow" along with resource ID's as an attribute on those tags. Make note of those Resource ID's, I just put them in a txt file to remember them.
11. Back over to framework.jar work. You will now need to open up /android/widget/AbsListView.smali
12. Search for inside the file "setOverScrollMode" and modify the following lines:
The first is edge, second is glow.
.line 666
.local v2, res:Landroid/content/res/Resources;
const v3, 0x01080261 <---- Resource ID you noted from framework-res
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.line 667
.local v0, edge:Landroid/graphics/drawable/Drawable;
const v3, 0x01080262 <---- Resource ID you noted from framework-res
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Put the resource ID's into those areas and save the file.
13. Now you need to re-dex the file by running the following command
java -jar smali-1.2.6.jar <output directory you made> -o <name of the dex file, I used classes.dex >
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
14. Open up the original framework.jar via WinRAR etc. that you took the classes.dex file from. Now drop the classes.dex file back into the framework.jar so that it replaces what is in there. Close WinRAR etc.
15. Push the framework.jar back onto your device. I used
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After mounting the /system directory first.
Don't use a file manager, you really don't wanna get FC's and stuff.
16. Immediately after pushing the file, adb reboot etc.
This is just for testing, obviously you would make sure this is part of a flashable zip when releasing as opposed to requiring it to be pushed while the system is running.
Again I encountered no issues with bootloops etc.
Required Tools:
- Baksmali (extracts) and Smali (compiles back to .dex)
http://code.google.com/p/smali/
- Java SDK to run jar files
- Files required: framework.jar and framework-res.apk
- Notepad is what I use to edit.

Maybe how would be so kind as to hook it up.... I have the theme zipped up with the framework.jar file, perhaps joe woods be so kind as to allow me to email it to him. Right now, I don't see /public/xml in the framework-res.apk file and I'm not sites how to use smali or baksmali at all. Work is killing me right now so I don't have much time to myself either.

Where do you find all the png's to theme? Do you need a special program? I remember themeing way back when I had an iPhone and you could use a file explorer (iFile) and find all the png's throughout the system. Is it similar in Android? I've been wanting to do something like that again.

I saw that tool but I dont understand why you need it. I noticed that I could just take the apk, open the archive, and extract the files needed to be themed. After that I just placed the files I changed back into the archive. Then I pushed the apk to /system/app and the app was themed.
The only thing I don't know how to do is make a flashable zip for twrp or cwm.

This is my second of, I hope, many themes for the GS3. This was tested and based on CleanROM 2.5 using TWRP. If you try it on any other ROM based on the G7 modems, let me know. If you do try it and it borks your phone, though, I'm not responsible. And in general, I'm not responsible for anything that you do to your device. There have been issues with SystemUI crashing with some themes on Scott's ROM, either due to the fact that it is odex or because of certain recoveries. No one is responsible for what you do to your device besides yourself. Make sure you have a nandroid. The app icons that you see are from a paid Apex theme in the PlayStore. Just search for Black Go Apex Theme Pro. I'll be making some of my own eventually.
Please do not use any of my work included in this theme without permission first. This stuff takes time, and I would be happy to help you if you just ask first.
Works On:
CleanROM 2.5
What's Themed:
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
SecSettings.apk
lidroid-res.apk
To Be Done:
Tons of more images that I want to change in framework and systemui as this is just the first release. Anything that is not red and white will be that way soon enough.
Various other apks
Other roms
All I ask is for thanks if you like my themes. If you want to donate to me, save your money and donate to Scott, thisiskindacrap, who MIKE D, or rcw95 on my behalf. That's where I'd use the money anyway for all of the help they give me.
Changelog:
10.08.Rebuilt
Rebuilt by thisiskindacrap to fix crashing (THANK YOU SO MUCH!)
10.03
Initial Release
Thanks
-Huge thanks to Scrosler for the awesome ROM
-Thanks to thisiskindacrap for his mods that Scott uses that I have changed around for my themes.
-Thanks to who MIKE D for all of his theme help
-Thanks to rcw95 for helping me find some images and for helping figure out the crash issues.
Installation Instructions
-Download (if on mobile, make sure you choose "Request Desktop Site")

-Perform nandroid (not required, but a good idea)
-Wipe cache and dalvik cache
-Flash zip
-Reboot
-Enjoy
All downloads and additional info will be kept in post 2. Wallpapers in post 3.
Again, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. I will, though, try to help as much as possible to make it work for you.

Still geting system ui crash.
If someone can test a theory for me about the systemui crashes, send me a pm. Anyone who has had issues with this theme and my black pearl. Pm me your set up including recovery type and if you've ever used another recovery and if you flashed the ROM clean or dirty. I just need one tester and will post here when I have one. I'm just going to test something to see what might be causing the crashes. Thanks!
Oh, and someone who has knowledge of adb and could navigate a zip file and push something through adb.

I wonder if it has something to do with odexing, are your themes odexed or deodexed? Or you know if CR 2.5 is odexed or deodexed? Btw i flashed the them using CWM touch and the latest TWRP recoveries. Thanks

When I made that one zip a few days ago on the black Pearl theme I took all your mods to the systemui put them in the stock one recompiled it and made it flash the odex back and that guy said it worked fine with just the systemui. But it crashes with the rest of the theme installed. I wonder if something else is causing the crash other than the actual systemui from the theme. Hope this makes sense it kinda does to me lol. But it doesn't make sense that it works fine for some people then not for others. The people who have the crashing should check and make sure the odex files are getting deleted with root explorer or a similar app. Maybe the script isn't erasing them for some people. Just a thought.

That's what confuses me the most. And the systemui was the only thing that I had to recompile. The others are just image switches. No clue though, but I was going to have them flash the theme without the systemui to see if it still crashed. If it didn't then I could go from there.

Yeah that's the same as my theme just recompiled the systemui all others are image swaps. Are u putting the original android manifest back in after recompiling? If not that might be it. I recompile then use 7zip to put that file back from the original systemui.

Actually, I'm not even using a recompiled systemui. I just pull the resources and layout folder from the recompiled one and put it into the original to keep the sig. Maybe I'll try your way of using my recompiled version and pulling in the manifest. Probably not the issue, but it's worth a shot. I'll see if I can get someone to test that later to see if it works.

You all know this lockscreen.
I really loved it but after a short time, I felt the demand to personalize it.
This guide is n00b friendly and takes a lot of time reading but not creating it, because I'm trying to make it as easy as possible.
HINT:In the following thread Lockscreen is abbreviated as LS and your Android is abbreviated as mine- the I9001.
contents:
1.What are the basics to know about a LS? (Preparations)
2.How to edit the LS
3.Collection of examples that we have created and want to share.
4.Q&A and REQs

Preparations
What you need:
As in almost every guide from me, there are 2 ways here:
Way ONE (I9001):
*your mind
*time to read
*imagination and creativity.
*your I9001
*Explorer or similar
*optional:[URL"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder"]QuickPic[/URL] for editing the solution of your icon and Cutout Maker to remove the background
Way TWO (PC):
*your mind
*time to read
*imagination and creativity.
*your PC
*Apktool, 7zip or similar
*Notepad++ or similar
*optional: Photoshop for editing the solution of your icon and removing the background
BOTH Ways:
*download the framework-res.apk of your favourite rom, like AOSP ICS, CM9, AOKP, ProjectStock, etc.
- You can extract it from your rom. It's inside /system/framework
If you cannot decide which framework-res.apk ypu would take, I extracted and described some in the next post.

how to edit
choosing right FRAMEWORK-RES.apk
In general, Framework-res.apk determines how to unlock the lockscreen.
It's not easy to explain, so I prepared some for you:
ProjectStock 4.0.4 LS
This framework-res.apk is made by me and currently used in ProjectStock 4.0.4. The difference between mine and the "stock ICS" is, that mine will unlock at any point of the outerring.
Download framework-res.apk
OutOfRange
Just the same like above but the unlock area is above.
would be better if you see the video from above and imagine upside down.
Download
"Stock"ICS
Used in CM9/AOSP ICS/AOKP and other. ic_lockscreen_chevron_right starts 3 times and leaving the screen on the right. No further explanation needed. Download
GalNote LS
Similar to "Stock"ICS but you cannot change the lockscreen wallpaper, it's the same like your default wallpaper. has four fixed buttons. Original thread HERE
credits to adi_ai****eiru
Vibration Free LS
Just the same like the "Stock"ICS one but with no vibration. Original thread HERE by stuffynet
more are coming soon.

FRAMEWORK-RES.APK
Way ONE (I9001):
1.Open Explorer app and go to the direction where your framework-res.apk is located.
2.Make a long press on it and select "extract all".
3.After you done that, go to /sdcard/Speedsoftware/extracted/framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/
this is the location of almost all frameworks of your rom, you can change them like changing the lockscreen. but be careful and please do not report if it's not lockscreen related, however you can pm me.
4.you will see a lot of frameworks, ignore them and head to the file named:
Code:
ic_lockscreen_XYZ.png
every file here got something to do with the lockscreen. You can mod every file but the most frequently used images are illustrated below.

When you edit an image the following things are important:
* the PNG file must always retain the same size. you can do that with quickpic or photoshop
* the name of the file must not be changed.
* every file that exist cannot be removed. however you can make it invisible by using a empty.png (in attachments) but don't forget to size it.
* no extra file must be added
* it must always be a PNG file. if not you can convert it with using a file converter.
! Important: this is the part where you can get FC's or even brick your phone ! so be careful.
after editing the image:
Way ONE (I9001):
* open Explorer app and make a longpress on the framework-res folder. press zip this folder and after zipping, just simply rename it to framework-res.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Way TWO (PC):
*zip the framework-res folder and rename to framework-res.apk

choosing right FRAMEWORK.jar
here are 2 different versions of framework.jar:
ChevronMiddle
ic_lockscreen_chevron_right starts in the middle 5 times and growing bigger. used in ProjectStock 4.0.4 (attached).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ChevronRight
the same used in "stock"ICS. (attached)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
more are coming soon.
after making the .apk
*MAKE IT TO A FLASHABLE .ZIP TO SHARE MORE EASILY
*Integrate into a downloaded rom, just swap the framework-res.apk and framework.jar and flash.
*Pushing it via ADB
Code:
adb push C:\Users\ME\Desktop\framework-res.apk(wherever your file is located) /system/framework
adb reboot

This MOD works with the following ROMs:
CleanROM 6 (may work with 5.6 but i havent tested)
Eclipse v1.2
Jelly 'Beans' Builds 10 - 12, 13
Synergy 373
This rearranges the softkeys from the stock ((menu) recents home back) configuration to the AOSP (back home recents (menu)) configuration. It also changes the images to match AOSP. Because it a ZipThemer theme it can be applied to a themed ROM without messing up the theme. IE: you can flash Beans + a Wasabi theme then this without messing up the Wasabi theming.
In addition to rearranging the softkeys you can also change the softkey style simply replace the images in the zip with the ones you want to use. Below is a zip containing the stock style softkeys. Follow the same process outlined below. Flash the MOD for your ROM first then the stock keys after.
Procedures:
1. Add the following to your build.prop in /system/ Do not reboot yet.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
2. Download ZipThemer from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImtlbGxpbndvb2QuemlwdGhlbWVyIl0.
3. Download the zip that corresponds with the ROM you are running and the UpdateEdify.zip. See attached files below.
4. Open ZipThemer app, hit the settings button and select Update Edify. Then browse to the UpdateEdify.zip you downloaded in part 2. Then select configure. Then hit the back button.
5. Press [+Theme] button and add the ROM specific zip. Ex. beans12softkeys.zip
6. Click [Build it!] button, the app will ask you whether to make an undo zip, I recommended yes or always.
7. The app will patch your SystemUI.apk and pack into an update .zip.
8. When done, reboot to Recovery, install the *-update.zip from the root of your sdcard. Ex. Eclipse1.2Softkeys-update.zip
9. Reboot and enjoy!
10. If you want to go back to the way it was just boot into recovery and flash the undo zip (because you selected that option right?).
NOTE: If it doesnt take you need to go back to step 4 and select a different zip.
Thanks to camblue for letting me hijack is softkey mod thread. Also a thanks goes out to Detonation from Rootzwiki for his writeup about how to add keys and rearrange them.

Looks really nice man! Nice to see you here too. Awhile back you and I exchanged words over on the other dev site about switching up the soft key colors. Also, was this the original thread (that I quoted) you were referencing about?
As it stands, nice thread dude.

How do I theme my phone to look like that? Just push the systemui.apk from one of those ROMs?

Like the screenshot? No, don't push another ROMs sysui. That would be bad. I believe that the status bar icons (other than the battery) are located in the lidroid-res.apk (/system/framework/). You would have to transfer them to your ROMs lidroid app. Why not use Eclipse? The theming is already done for you. Another plus is it has the aosp dialer and contacts app that scale with the presence of the softkeys. Also native tethering is enabled.

i pushed the lidroid apk and it just changed the lidroid appearance...the 4G/wifi/time stayed the same. Any other ideas on what to push?
I might try eclipse as it looks pretty cool, but i wanted to stick with cleanrom because i heard it has the best battery life
hey man i flashed eclipse, but your method is not working for me because it says theres no update script. Can you send me a zip of a modified systemui like you did for cleanrom? if not ill have to go back to cleanrom which is a shame because i like this rom so far
Did you follow the instructions in the OP? You need to update edify in the ZipThemer app.

Hey I just flashed this mod however the stock nav keys you used are low quality. I can see pixelation in them, especially on the roof of the home. They aren't nearly as sharp as on my gnex. Is there anyway you could redo this with higher quality images? Thank you!

Thanks for confirming that it works. I can update it. It will be about half an hour till they are all done. Gotta bootup the comp again.

Yup it worked great on cr6. Could you make one too if you ever have time that uses the stock Samsung icons but has back and recent apps flipped and removes that blue/grey line At the top of the nav bar? I kinda like the darker grey of the Samsung icons but not sure if I can stand that blue/grey line Samsung added to the top of the nav bar. All I know is I definitely prefer back on the left and recent apps on the rightPlus not having to push the physical home button is really nice!
If it will help, I can upload the nav icons from my gnex

The images I used were from my gnex. ill have to see what image enhancing I can do tomorrow. I did however upload the sock keys. Check the attachments. Follow the same steps as before. Flash over the other file. It simply puts the images in the apk without any other modifications. In fact all that ZipThemer does is open up the apk like a zip file and replace the tw_navi_bar.xml that I modified into the app. Id look into higher res images tonight but I have work early in the morning.

Just to clarify what I wrote above, when you complete step 4 from the OP you are adding the update script from whatever zip you select. ROMS or themes that use aroma seem to have a different META-INF that makes them incompatible with this MOD. If you are going to use Eclipse I also recommend the Circuitry theme ported by o0Blackness0o. The themes zip works perfectly for step 4 too.

Oh ok well tha's weird bc I thought the gnex had the same resolution so I don't know why it looks so much different.I just extracted the systemUI.apk on my S3 and was surprised to see in the res folder, in several of the drawable folders were the stock ics/jb nav icons.
Maybe they are higher resolution?

I just flashed the stock keys one on top of the clean rom one like you said and ended up with recent apps on the left and back on the right. Uninstalled both and then just installed the stock keys file and got the same thing. Can you flip the recent apps and back too And it will be perfect. Thanks so much!

That is strange. It worked for me. Try doing it again. First the cleanrom specific one then the stock images one. The stock zip shouldn't change the order.
