[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.

Wow so beautiful mal, i love that !! Its posible to put on onether rom pls ?

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

Thank you very much,I have known how to use the apktool to do some change like the 1% battery code or the CRT.
but to make a beautiful theme is not a easy work,I should consider to harmonize the color,and the icons collocation.
combine the odex and the apk is also a big problem to me.
I'll try to learn and test.

Ok, it's explained on other threads but here is a quick one:
First thing you should be rooted (or be good with ADB).
Use xUltimate app (Iposted link above) to extract all apps and framework.
Than copy framework-res.apk to Apk_Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding (also posted link in post above) and run Script.bat in there, now select 10 (decompile...with dependencies) then drag & drop twframework-res.apk in that green Sript.bat window and it will decompile that framework-res.apk.
Now in folder Apk_Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\values open file bools.xml with notepad and find line <bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool> (but on stock it will be true instead of false ) change it and save it. Now in Script.bat (green ) window
chose compile apk follow instructions (is this system app of course YES... overwrite YES then it will instruct you but I will mention that before final YES in newly created folder Apk_Multi-Tool\keep delete file resources and just then finish compiling. Now you have unsignedframework-res.apk next to original one move it from there rename it (delete that prefix unsigned).
Now it has enabled CRT-off animation. You must replace (can do it with Root explorer) in phones system\framework reboot phone and look at CRT-off effect when you lock screen (must have enabled all animation on phone display settings. Rest of the theming is done by replacing .jpg .png .9.png in apk (opened with WinRar or 7zip) mostly in res\drawable-hdpi.
Experiment and enjoy (be careful with framework if you mess something you will have bootloop...

I made this for my use, I like it so I shared it, about battery %, there are so many free apps on market so I don't see why bother to built it in theme.
About lock screen, I really don't know to code that for Android. Still I know the man on XDA called JKay, he is an expert on that subject, but he is developing for SGS2. If someone could talk him in to developing this for SGR that would be the day
Another thing, about custom ROM.
My opinion is that the best thing is odexed (unchanged) stock ROM with custom KERNEL, and some custom theming with few mods, so basically having hundred custom ROMs is nothing to brag about.
Another thing is my wife took my SGR and now I'll get SGS2, still maybe we will switch
Stay cool

Well it's easy to modify theme, you can download any Galaxy 2 theme (it's almost same or any other phone theme or ROM) and combine icons that you like. It's a bit harder to make whole theme "complete"
If there is few requests I can make theme in some other style-color. Still my favorite is black-green-glass

Thankyou redooo ......
Be with our SGR only don't go for SGS2;-)

[GUIDE] How to change Status Bar Icons [Easy way 4 noobs]

Hi guys, after getting so many requests on my Sweet ROM thread for this icons or that icons I thought I would show you the easiest way so that you can change your own.
Please note this guide is based on Windows operating system
You will need:
A computer with Windows
7zip (free program available HERE)
systemUI.apk from your current rom
systemUI.apk from rom (or mod) with icons you want
some brains
1. Extract systemUI.apk that you are using in your rom and place it where you want it on your pc.
Right click on the systemUI.apk and select 7zip/Open archive. This open up the apk and you can now see the folders inside.
You now need to open res folder, locate drawable-xhdpi folder and drag this out to your pc.
Once it has copied over open the new drawable-xhdpi folder on your pc and here you will find a heap of png images.
Download this file and extract the folder from it. Here you will find all the Status Bar Icon images. So looking through them you will recognise battery, wifi, bluetooth etc images that show on your status bar. these are the images you need to change for different themes, eg S4 white icons etc.
2. Now open the systemUI.apk with the images you wish to add and copy out the drawable-xhdpi folder.
Now in this folder locate & copy the images you want over to the drawable-xhdpi folder you created in Step 1.
3. Once you have copied all the new images you need to re-open the archive of your rom systemUI.apk from Step 1. with 7zip.
Now open res folder and delete the drawable-xhdpi folder from in the archive.
4. Drag your new drawable-xhdpi folder (with your new images inside) into the 7zip archive.
Once this has been copied over to you 7zip archive use the green arrow (under the Add button) to go back up a level until you are at systemUI.apk. Now with it highlighted use the "Test" button to make sure it is ok.
Now we can close 7zip and you should have your systemUI with new status bar icons.
5. Make a backup of your rom (just in case) and push your new systemUI.apk back to your phone either manually with Root Explorer (or similar file manager) and set permissions rw--r--r-- or flash it from cwm.
For a flashable zip please see majdinj's flashable zip how to HERE
I hope this quick guide can help some of you learn to make your own simple icon mods.
Some examples of different Status Bar themes you can make this way

You mean like center clock etc? That takes xml or smali edits which require more knowledge and to decompile the apk. There are other threads on xda that will help you with that

[Xposed] Air Command Themer - Great THEME Collection [Updated]

Hello Folks,
Well, I would like to share my experimental xposed module called AIR COMMAND THEMER. As the name suggests, it is a module to easily apply themes for air command without flashing, just installing themes like any apk. You can even sell your themes on the Play Store if you like. As it is an xposed module, it requires and runs on the Xposed Framework by @rovo89 so make sure you already have xposed working.
DOWNLOAD:
Air Command Themer
For themes, see post attachments below.
REQUIREMENTS: Rooted Note 3, working Xposed framework and knowledge with activating xposed modules
HOW TO USE:
1. Download the module and install, activate in Xposed Installer. (don't need to reboot just yet)
2. Install some themes. I made some sample themes below courtesy of our friend @sibinn. (I will post a HOW-TO on making apk themes later)
3. Open Air Command Themer and make sure the installed themes are listed. Select and apply a theme.
4. Reboot.
5. Test. (For now, you need to do at least a soft reboot whenever you change theme. I am still trying to figure out how to do it without rebooting everytime)
6. I would appreciate your feedback/opinion/suggestion so I can fix what is not working if I can and so I can make it better.
GREAT COLLECTION OF THEMES - Thanks to @sibin & @FootSlave
There are more themes scattered throughout the thread shared by various users. Please check them out.
BIG THANKS: rovo89, @sibinn, @CasTTeLLo, @absinthesummer

Themes are just normal apks with all the replacement images/pngs and with added meta-data : "aircommand.THEME" inserted in the apk's AndroidManifest.xml for the Themer app to recognize and load a theme.
REQUEST: If you made a theme, I would appreciate it if you could share it in the forum for others as well. I myself am not a themer, so I could use some good themes.
HOW TO FOR NOOBS:
For noobs who don't know how to use apktool or similar tools, the simplest way to put your own designs/themes is open any of the pre-compiled themes with 7zip (don't extract, just open) and navigate to /res/drawable-xxhdpi or /res/drawable-xhdpi folder and replace the images/png files with your own. Of course, make sure you maintain the same filenames and also image size/resolution. And just install the theme like a normal app.
Below I attached some pre-compiled themes. They all contain the same default theme and named numerically. Just download theme, pick any one of them and follow the noob instruction above. (About 10 precompiled themes for now but I will add more later).
Pre-Compiled Air Command Themes Set 1
Pre-Compiled Air Command Themes Set 2
HOW TO FOR THE NOT-SO NOOB:
Requirement: Knowledge on how to decompile/recompile apks
Tools: Apktool/ZipSigner or ApkMultitool or ApkManager, Notepad++
1. Decompile any of the ready-made or precompiled themes.
2. Open AndroidManifest.xml and edit the packagename. Make sure it is unique for every theme so there is no conflict when you install the theme.
Code:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
[COLOR="Red"]package="xperiacle.aircommandtheme.twenty"[/COLOR]
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="18"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/theme_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
[COLOR="Red"]<meta-data android:name="aircommand.THEME" android:value="Twenty" />[/COLOR]
</application>
</manifest>
3. Find the the meta-data that says "aircommand.THEME" and edit the "android:value="Theme Name". Put your theme name if you like.
4. Edit strings.xml located in /res/values and put your theme name. This theme name will be used by Air Command Themer in the theme list.
5. Replace the images/png in /res folders with your own.
6. There is also a preview.png file. If possible, make a preview image of your theme and replace the default one.
7. Recompile and sign the theme apk. With ApkMultitool or ApkManager, signing is part of the tools. You can also use ZipSigner from the Play Store to sign the apk.
8. Install and test.
COMPILE YOUR OWN WITH ECLIPSE/ADT:
If you have at least a basic knowledge of making a hello world app, then this is basically the same level of knowledge required. Just create a new project without any activity. You can use your own drawer icon if you like. Add the following meta-data in the AndroidManifest.xml so the Themer app can recognize the theme.
<meta-data android:name="aircommand.THEME" android:value="Twenty" />
Put the air command images/pngs/resources in their respective folders. For the Note 3, it is /res/drawable-xxhdpi. Compile and export your project. Test your theme apk and if all is well, distribute.
NOTE: Please let me know anything I missed or forgot.

Hi xperiacle,
the next great idea :good:. At first you know my constellation
All i get after activating the themer and a theme at 216, 300 and 480 dpi is in the attached pic.

Just updated the module, fixed some file permissions but I think it is working but may need to do a soft reboot everytime you change theme. I will try figure out how to change theme without rebooting. See updated module apk in the OP (first post).

System/app/Priv/SystemUI.apk
System/app/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FOR USERS EDITING IN MOBILE (Root Explorer)..........PC users go down
Now rename the follwing files (Both from your device and the other rom) [dont mix them up. place them in different folder] as
Code:
framework-res.apk
as
Code:
framework-res.zip
Code:
Settings.apk
as
Code:
Settings.zip
Code:
SystemUI.apk
as
Code:
SystemUI.zip
FOR PC USERS
JUST Select the apk and right click and select winzip or any other tool and press extract
From now on use have to use your brain, gut feel, your choices and stuff.
SO Extract the zips
Got to Res folders of each apk
For Example if you are working on Settings go to
Res folder in both your rom and the cm11
in your rom go to the the file which is related to your screen resolution
Eg.
For HDPI -(drawable-hdpi)
and same with cm11 and then start comparing the pictures the both folders and there might be nice pics in (drawble-XXHDPI) folder and that doesnt mean you can take all the pics from drawable-XXHDPI after choosing your stuff replace your images and rename if necessary ( if the images look exactly the same and with different name and rename to the name of picture in your name and replace the pic ) just go into the main folder of the file of your app which you extracted and zip of your rom
For Eg. Its Setting app
after you have edited the pics
Some Other Tips
There are few pictures in blue try to edit theme with gimp or Image Editor By Byte Experts
For chaning Default Wallpaper
Go to framework-res.apk
in that go to res
then drawable
and choose the Image you want and replace the image with same name
9 pngs can be replaced in the same way, but if you want to edit them follow this video- How to easily edit .9.png files
go back to res and then back again you will find all the folders like
assets
META-INF
res
resources.arsc
AndroidManifiest.xml
Select all the files present and zip them then Rename the zip again to " Setting.apk "
now you need to push the file back to your device
Just follow this Thread - How Install a App as System APP
For Setting and SystemUI and for framework
you need to paste them in ROOT/System/framework

Do the Same thing With Settings.apk and system UI

Great guide. Just one point/tip if I may, I see it a lot that People suggest to rename an apk to zip, well in order to open a zip you obviously need to have a program capable of doing so, so just set apks to open with your preferred zip program which will cut out the unnecessary step of having to rename each apk you want to mod.

Hey have a look at my first post and for clock you can modify jbclock+ to make it look like kk and best launcher according to me is holo kk launcher and if your running ICS+ there are many apps that looks exactly like kk launcher which version of android are you running on?? And I really think if you change many of the images in the talks it will drastically change things please have patience to read the first post

@kaushikb.1996, I saw your thread of Micromax A87, in that you've themed the dialer too, right? If I attach my Phone.apk and Contacts.apk? Can you do it for me? As far I've read the OP, there's nothing bout' that. Maybe you can help?
Thank You.

No I actually din't theme it, I used exdailer and dark theme its a light and good looking too

Great thread. Helped me a lot since I'm working on a Android L themed ROM for the galaxy express using Pacrom as base. I've managed to get the settings.apk theme changed like the header and color and stuff. Trying to change the icon colors in settings and theme the dialer and framework res. Whenever I theme the dialer and framework res it the dialer doesn't show up after replacing via system/priv-app permissions -rw-r-r-. And the framework res cause a boot loop. All I did was change some pngs and .9 images and edited the XML's dimensions and styles XML to match up then made any necessary changes to the drawables due to kitkats new theming process. Shoot me a PM thanks In advance.

Well it lots like you have normally edited .9.pngs like any other picture so there is a force close as framework runs throughout the system there is probably a boot loop for now take the apks from youe rom and flash them from recovery and after that while editing .9.pngs you first decompile the apk
Then select the picture leaving that black dots and the border and save and recompile.
I have attached the video in first post
