[24APRIL2011][Mod] Themes + Notifications Icon Mod + Settings w/ black background

If this framework eats your cat, i'm not responsible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12340498&postcount=109
so i saw this post and decided that i want those icons. so i pulled my framework-res.apk from the current ROM i am using (overcome 1.4.4) and modded the files inside.
THOSE ICONS WERE NOT CREATED BY ME. CREDIT GOES TO ORIGNIAL CREATOR (dunno who, i tried to find but couldn't find it)
attached are NON-flashable zips from various ROMS that are available.
More info:
-the widget below the time is minimalist text.
-wallpaper is from this app called wallpapercasa free from the market which i highly recommend. this app has high res wallpapers made specially for tablets.
-"S" icon u see is samba filesharing free from the market as well. best wifi file transfer app IMHO from tab to computer or vice versa.
-from left to right, the icons are: bluetooth, wifi, silent mode, signal strength, battery(%) and alarm.
Credits:
Original creator of those icons.
Natious for his flashable zip.
alterbridge86 for his wonderful ROM.
Galaxyer for VA Green theme and black settings.
DistortedWisdom for blue honeycomb theme.
Biospin for black call settings page.
Update (13/4):
-added framework for BOYPPC-V3 rom. thanks to wallah.
-added framework for Overcome 1.5.0-Beta. thanks to mkhattab.
-made into cwm flashable zips
-made some changes to the framework as i realized that when i charge my tab, the animation is screwed up. this update should fix the problem.
Update (14/4):
-changed to non-flashable zips as there's some problem with the flashable zip.
Update (18/4):
-added ZHKC2.2.1
-will consider sourcing for more battery mods from other forums and add it here after my exams.
Update (19/4):
-added Overcome1.6.0
Update (21/4):
- added links for Blue Honeycomb theme by DistortedWisdom and VA Green theme by galaxyer and modded to work on Overcome 1.6.x by DistortedWisdom.
Update (23/4):
- added Settings.apk with black background [tested only on Overcome 1.6.1] preview: http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1754/26105842.jpg
LATEST Update (24/4):
- added Blacksettings.rar - this is not a flashable. extract the apks and place them in /system/app for a black settings page. Currently only the account profiles page are not black. trying to fix it.
- Removed framework-res(Overcome1.5.0Beta) due to not so popular demand and lack of slots for uploading files.
Instructions for installing notification icons ONLY (without theme):
1. extract zip file.
2. copy the framework-res.apk in the zip file into your sd card using root explorer.
3. navigate to /system/framework
4. tap rw at the top.
5. paste the copied framework-res.apk and u will experience FCs and this is normal. DO NOT PANIC.
6. restart tab.
Instructions for Settings with black background:
1. download Blacksettings.zip and extract the apks inside to your sd card
2. copy or move all the apk using root explorer
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. [optional] backup your Phone.apk/Settings.apk/Accountsandsyncsettings.apk somewhere just in case it doesn't work for your rom. this has only been tested on Overcome 1.6.1
6. paste all apks
Instructions for installing themes ONLY (w/o icons mods):
1. place zip in internal or external sd card
2. boot into recovery
3. install zip

The themes and battery icon mods are 2 different framework-res.apk.
They are works of 2 different people and i will only combine them and post it here when i am free or when >10 people request for it. the screenshots you see are the result of combining them. i do not want to combine them because the original framework might change again when alterbridge releases an update for Overcome ROM and I do not know how to mod it to work on the new framework if that happens. the themes are done by DistortedWisdom and Galaxyer. i will request from them if ever there is an update and post it here. meanwhile i'm still trying to how to theme properly. if i know how i won't bother them again. thanks
hit some thanks if i've helped.

i realized that when i charge my tab the animation is screwed up. please check yours. if it's screwed up too, download the flashable zip which i just uploaded. it should fix the problem.

no problem here bro, everythings works nice !!! i tested charging, pluged in-pluged off, mount-unmont.....

Do you think you can make one for Overcome 1.5 Beta?
I believe it has a different base from 1.4.4 so the same framework will probably FC like mad

These appear to be flashable .zips, but the OP still states that they are not.
Are they?

[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 want it. Please upload if its not too much trouble... Btw i'm running wolfs tw v5. Will it work on this ROM?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

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.

[Q] RCTeam tweaks and button light

Hi
is it possible to adjust the level the button lights light up?
The problem is that my button light need a REALLY complete dark room to light up (or i have to cover the light sensor). Would be nice if they come up a little earlier!
When I first noticed it I was using the VoidU S rom (<- with RCTeam tweaks). Now I'm on Hyperion and the button lights was working fine until I updated to v1.2 including the RCTeam tweaks. So I think there could be a relationship between my button light problem and the RCTeam tweaks.
I like both roms very much! It's not the greatest problem but a solution would make it just perfect for me
Thank you in advance!

Do you have the auto brightness mod option enabled in RCTweaks?

"autoBrightness" is set to default. Change it to "lower" or "lowest" or back to "default" does not change the butoon light behaviour.

You need to decompile the framework-res and edit values.xml and recompile.

Hey cool!
Thank you for your advice!
I will try my luck

Conclusion
it works!!!
i used apk manager to decompile and recompile the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk from the original rom... in my case Hyperion v1.2 by lowveld.
after that i edited the file \res\values\array.xml and changed the values for "config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues" and "config_autoBrightnessKeyboardBacklightValues". Could be that "config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues" is the only important value but i decided to play save
i attached my array.xml file (with already changed backlight values) for comparison for those with the same problem....

I'd like to know too please, is this a flashable zip, and does it properly fix the backlight?

yes, it is a flashable zip file. i packt it back into the zip file i extracted it from and flashed it with recovery. my backlight seems to work properly now.
just try it yourself... all infos for decompiling/compiling framework-res can be found here on xda devolopers.
i can write a more detailed guidance if you dont get it. could last a few days because of lack of time.
...i dont want to post the zip file because i dont want to mirror lowveld's rom. please forgive that....

Thanks very much, I'll look into how to do that, it will be my first time! Is it possible to make it a flashable zip as a small fix rather than flashing the whole rom again?

i did not have that problem to make a flashable zip file because i'm using hyperion with the "back to stock look" patch. i just edited the framework-res.apk from the patch and only had to flash about 25mb....
i'm not that expert but i'm pretty sure that it is possible to make a flashable zip with just these framework-res

Glad you got it sorted mate

yeah, i'm glad too!
don't know if i've done it the best way but it works....
here is how i get it:
- get apk manager
- use 7-zip to extract the framework-res.apk from the rom (or patch)
- copy framework-res.apk to /<apk manager>/place-apk-here-for-modding
- start script.bat
- select 9 for decompiling
- edit files (array.xml) in /<apk manager>/projects/framework-res.apk
- select 11 for decompiling
-> system apk? => yes
-> aside frome the signiture...... => yes
-> delete resources.arsc from /<apk manager>/keep
-> press the <any key> button
- select 12 for signing
- find your modified framework-res.apk in /<apk manager>/place-apk-here-for-modding
- rename the signed one to framework-res.apk and place it back to the zip file you extracted it from using 7-zip
- flash the updated zip file via recovery

got the same issue........asked lowveld to create a flashable zip with this fix....
i'm not into decompiling etc.
But it's really annoying not to see the buttons

As I believe olyloh6696 has said in thread and I know that I've said something similar before....What's the issue....the buttons don't ever change position and lighting the LED's only burns power, so what's the real problem....stop using your phone under the covers

Lol.......naaahh.....it should work, i paid for those damn lights so they WILL burn!

Could you post the zip when you get it? I've tried to compile but it wasn't very successful and I can't test it properly as I gave the phone to my dad, he wants the lights

Backlight for soft buttons
You can try 'Keyboard backlight controller'. You can download it from the Market.
It works for me (running VoidU S v1.1a).
I hope this helps.

Thanks I'll give it a shot
Edit: only turns lights on or off, ideally I want them to work with the sensor....
if anyone could create a flashable zip for this I would happily donate some beer/flowers for wife etc money!!

Check out the hyperion thread, lowveld posted..... there is a fix for his rom......don't know if compatible with other roms

[MOD]Center Clock Mod and More

I am putting this together for anyone interested in having your clock centered and if you are so inclined a bit of advice on how to change out some statusbar icons I will not be providing the actual icons but will explain how to do so if you are interested.
This should work on any one xl using stock deodexed sense but has only been tested on the att version.
First off you must be rooted and have a deodexed rom installed.
You will need some type of file explorer I use root explorer
You will need this app Zip Themer installed on your phone LINK
Once you have Zip Themer installed grab the attached file and place it in the folder on your sd card named zip themer.
Whats inside the zip? It is a compiled status_bar.xml with the center clock mod applied.
Now run zip themer select +theme and then select the zip you just placed in the folder then select build it when complete you will find two zip files on the root of your sd one called update and one called undo take the the one name update and unzip it inside you will find a systemui.apk.
Take the apk and navigate to system app folder and create a folder name temp.
Place the apk inside now fix the permissions to match the existing systemui.apk
Once you have done that move it to the system app folder it will ask you if you wish to overwrite the current apk say yes and reboot phone and you will have your clock centered.
If something goes wrong the undo folder contains a original copy of your systemui.apk so can replace it.
Now if your feeling more adventurous and wish to change out some icons as well you will need a copy of your systemui on your pc unzip it inside navigate to
res drawable-xhdpi folder you will need this as reference to name your new icons. Unzip the file attached to this post on your pc as well.
Find the icons you wish to use and place them in the systemui res drawable-xhdpi folder that is in the zip I provided make sure to name them exactly as they are named in the origional systemui folder when you have all your icons zip the xml file and the folder and follow the instructions above.
Please do this at your own risk I am not responsible if you brick your phone or anything else.
Updated
Statusbar icons that were used in my set up are now attached
For data signal only 4g is themed because that is all I needed I don't get lte and very seldom drop of 4g well actually I have never dropped off 4g since I had the phone. The saturn icons were made by me the other icons were from various sources so credt to those who made them.
Here's a screen shot of mine to show what can be done.
Using nova launcher and stock deodexed sense

what rom are you running?

Any chance you could upload the Icons you're using there?

oh so I guess this mod will work on my Rogers OneX which is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader?
oh and i'll be a fan of yours if this mod works on my phone with my current setup

I never tried it on a odexed file but I read through the entire manual for zip themes and no where did it say deodexed just root required. Let me look into some more when I get home.

[MOD] [17 JUN] DLL4/5/7-LL3-DME1 (Launcher/messaging/systemui/framework/popup etc)

These little mods are for the latest (at time of writing) stock firmwares: N7100XXDLL4 / DLL5/ DLL7 and N7100UBDLL3
Whenever I flash a new ROM, the first thing I do is re-do these little mods (unless the ROM already includes them) and flash them, so I thought I would share as some of you may find them useful.
They are all in a Clockworkmod flashable zip.
*And now with CWM flashable Aroma installer with my stock launcher and PopupBrowser mods added to it, so now you can install the ones you want and leave the ones you do not want.*
Thanks to commandersafi for his tool.
Included are the folllowing:
SecMms.apk - No sms to mms convert, number of contacts limit removed, better smilies (see pic) and the option to keep the screen off when a new mrssage arrives (CWM_SecMms.apk_ScreenOff.zip only. Thanks to sling for the screen off/on mod))
SystemUI.apk - Black status bar instead of grey.
framework-res.apk - Stock Browser useragent set to desktop as default, better smilies for third party messaging clients (same as the ones in SecMms.apk), screen will now not come on when unplugging from charger/usb (I found this really annoying!), the menu bar (if you enable it) has been reduced in size (see pic to see the size it looks) and the lockscreen rotation has been enabled (only in CWM_AROMA_Stock_UBDLL3_Mods.zip).
SecLauncher2.apk - Stock launcher mod: 6 x 7 icons instead of the stock 4 x 4 and also has up to 7 icons in the dock instead of the stock 5, plus with 6 x 7 icons in the app drawer instead of the stock 5 x 5. (Only in the Aroma installer version)
PopupBrowser.apk - It is now larger (see pic to see the size it looks). I did not see the point in having the PopupBrowser so small as I was always 'maximising' it. Now, with this mod, there is no need to. (Only in the Aroma
installer version)
SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk - This is the default weather widget from the Note 1 (N7000) which has the 5 day forcast on the widget, it has been modded to fit the Note 2 (N7100) screen size (see pics). Even the app the widget opens up into has been modded as they both bled off the screen due to the Note 1's screen resolution, This widget is an addition to the already installed Accuweather widget and nothing gets removed or overwritten. And I will add that they took me hours to sort out! (It is in its own CWM flashable zip)
You should be able to use these mods for odexed as well as deodexed roms, as the odex files for SecMms.apk, SystemUI.apk, PopupBrowser.apk and SecLauncher2.apk, if you have them, will be deleted when the apps are flashed, I have not tested them on a stock odexed rom but there should be no problems.
Both flashable zips will work on stock (and maybe custom) XXDLL4/5/7 and N7100UBDLL3.
How to:
1. Download the CWM flashable zip
2. BACKUP YOUR ROM! Just in case.
3. Reboot into recovery and flash zip.
4. Reboot.
5. Click 'THANKS'

*If you use your Note 2 to download the file, please use a browser other than the stock one, otherwise it may just download a large .php file.*

CWM_N7100UBDLL3_framework_Mod.zip (Same as above but with the lockscreen rotation disabled.)

Stock_DLL4_Mods.zip

CWM_AROMA_Stock_DLL7_Mods.zip

CWM_AROMA_Stock_UBDLL3_Mods.zip

SecLauncher2.apk (Stock launcher) mods (see attachments).
How to:
1. Download the attached modded SecLauncher2.apk
1. Go to /system/app and rename SecLauncher2.apk to SecLauncher2.apk.bak (in case you want to revert back)
2. Copy over the modded SecLauncher2.apk to /system/app, rename to SecLauncher2.apk , set permissions, reboot, done.
Please note SecLauncher2_10x6x8_NoScroll.apk will have no app labels on the home screen pages due to the cells being so small.
.
.
Please note CWM_SecMms.apk_ScreenOff.zip is the same as the mod above but with the added option in the app settings of having the screen come on/stay off when a new message arrives, if you have an odexed rom, make sure you delete the SecMms.odex file before flashing. (Thanks to sling for the screen off/on mod)

Thank you for the mods. Do you know if these will work on DLL5 ROMS?
I read somewhere that DLL4 and DLL5 are identical, but I still had to ask the question ...
Thanks!

I don't see why not. As far as I know they are the same rom, just a different region.

Try using a different browser, the file is fine.

I have just installed the latest N7100XXDLL7 and these mods work as they should, which is no surprise as DLL7, DLL5 and DLL4 are essentially the same

Hi friend
tks for the mod
I tried to install with CWM Touch 6.0.25 and aroma didnt start. I tried twice. Wanamlite DLL5 here!
I moved the file I wanted manually.
My new TW is working great!!! :good:

These little mods are for the latest (at time of writing) stock firmwares: N7100XXDLL4 / DLL5/ DLL7.
Whenever I flash a new ROM, the first thing I do is re-do these little mods (unless the ROM already includes them) and flash them, so I thought I would share as some of you may find them useful.
They are all in a Clockworkmod flashable zip.
*And now with CWM flashable Aroma installer with my stock launcher mod added to it, so now you can install the ones you want and leave the ones you do not want.*
Thanks to commandersafi for his tool.
Included are the folllowing:
SecMms.apk - No sms to mms convert, number of contacts limit removed, better smilies. (see pic)
SystemUI.apk - Black status bar instead of grey.
framework-res.apk - Stock Browser useragent set to desktop as default, better smilies for third party messaging clients (same as the ones in SecMms.apk), screen will now not come on when unplugging from charger/usb (I found this really annoying!), the menu bar (if you enable it) has been reduced in size (see pic to see the size it looks).
SecLauncher2.apk - Stock launcher mod: 6 x 7 icons instead of the stock 4 x 4 and also has up to 7 icons in the dock instead of the stock 5, plus with 6 x 7 icons in the app drawer instead of the stock 5 x 5. (Only in the Aroma installer version)
You should be able to use this mod for odexed as well as deodexed roms, as the odex files for SecMms.apk, SystemUI.apk and SecLauncher2.apk, if you have them, will be deleted when the apps are flashed, I have not tested them on a stock odexed rom but there should be no problems.
How to:
1. Download the CWM flashable zip (Stock_DLL4_Mods.zip). or (CWM_AROMA_Stock_DLL4_Mods.zip)
2. BACKUP YOUR ROM! Just in case.
3. Reboot into recovery and flash zip.
4. Reboot.
5. Click 'THANKS'

Hello padlad,
Thank you for the mods.
I have one important find that you should know. IT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, specifically the framework-res mod, WHEN Simplistic Framework is installed. I'm pretty sure I installed everything correctly. So there must be a conflict somewhere.
What happens - the home screen shrinks to about 1/2 the size, on all pages.
I'm reverting back from a backup and will install only the SecMms mod in Aroma. I'll let you know what happens.
Update - All is good with just the SecMms mod.
Thanks!

I'm running my launcher @ 270dpi and with your launcher mod looks really great but when I open a folder the size is really small.
Anyway to increase the folder size to the same as original and remove page dots?
Many Thanks
Edit: nevermind I modded my original omega 10 launcher with default folder settings and 6x7 app draw and at 270dpi it looks awesome.
