This is a very basic guide to beginning themeing. It is not meant to be all-inclusive, just some simple steps that can be taken to make your own custom theme fairly easily. This guide should allow anyone to be able to grab images they like from any ROM and incorporate them into their own.
I SUGGEST YOU ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF ANY FILE BEFORE YOU THEME IT AND NANDROID FIRST BEFORE FLASHING
Here is a basic overview of changing images in an apk:
1. Get your base file to theme – framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, phone.apk ect.
2. “Open” apk archive with 7-zip (don’t unzip!) and drag and drop the new images into the appropriate folder.
3. Flash new file.
Now some details:
1. The first step is to obtain the file you are going to theme. The file you are themeing ( i.e. going to flash to your phone) must come from the ROM you are currently running. Always use files from your current ROM as a base, however the images you want to change can come from other ROMs, or you can edit existing ones or make your own from scratch. You can obtain your theme base through an ADB pull of the files from your phone, or simply downloading the ROM zip file and extracting the files you need.
2. Now that you have the file to theme, don’t touch it! OK, more specifically, you won’t unzip or do anything to this file except “open” it with 7-zip (unless this is a market app, but more on that later). You are going to drag and drop the new icons into this file by “opening” it and navigating to the appropriate folder. The images you want to change are stored in the apk under /res/drawable-hdpi. Once you have your new icons from other sources, open your base file and navigate to this folder and drop them in.
3. Now you can flash this new file. I have provided empty zip files that you can place your themed files into and flash in recovery. Place your framework-res.apk and/or com.htc.resources.apk into the /system/framework folder located in the zip file provided. Now highlight the META-INF and system folders and zip them up. You can now place this file on the root of your SD card and flash. System apps can be placed under /system/app in the zip file.
Some more info on common themeable files:
Framework-res.apk – this is the meat and potatoes of a theme. On an AOSP ROM it will contain almost everything you want to theme aside from individual apps themselves. Sense ROMs have another file com.htc.resources.apk, as well as framework-res.apk. Both of these files are located in a ROM under /system/framework.
System apps: These apps come packaged in a ROM under /system/apps. They can be themed in the same manner as a framework apk. Some of these apps include Gmail, browser, camera, ect. Place them in your flashable zip under the folder /system/app.
Market apps: These apps are downloaded from the market and are can be pulled from your phone from /data/app. These files require a bit more to theme. They don’t share the same signature as the system apps and you must resign them using a program such as apkmanger. Place them in your flashable zip under /data/app.
If there are any errors, or if anyone has suggestions please let me know. I may have over looked some details, ect.
Thanks to everyone on XDA who has shared their knowledge and made this a great community!
Thanks that will be helpful

so using this guide we can pull parts and what not from other elements of themes we like and create our own framework to push back? Also, based on what you have, shouldn't it be easy to put this up on bid for hire (?) website to create a program to automate that?

Yes the idea of this guide was to help people pick and choose icons they like in other ROMs and add it to their own. I'm not sure what bid for hire is?
its a website where you can load your requirements and folks can bid to do your work

No prob. Let me know if it works for you.
I couldn't get the auto signing to work, but the manual way of doing it worked.
Hmm, I got a boot loop on first try and doing this. Does that mean something went wrong with the signing, or that what I created for the theme was wrong? I used the empty .zip folder and re-zipped it, so I don't think that is the issue.

The signing should be ok. If you are using Amon_ra recovery it wont let you flash an unsigned zip I believe. Are you on sense or AOSP? Are you editing images or just copying from other ROMs?
What you might want to do is just create a simple test file. Change just one image and then flash that. That should let you know that your process is correct.
I using Amon Ra and using AOSP. I was moving some items out of a sense ROM so I guess that is where I might have went wrong. I think I'll take your advice and move just a single image and see how that works for me. Thanks!
I tried again this time I ended up stuck at the EVO white screen. I'm guessing it doesn't like the sense part I'm trying to throw in there. I'll have to try again with a AOSP theme instead.

A couple things to look out for when swapping sense/CM icons - some file names are slightly different between sense and AOSP. Rename any sense icons to their AOSP counterparts and vice versa. Also, double check the image size of the icon is the same in both, i.e. 70x70 pixels, ect. and make sure you are not adding images that don't exist normally in the framework. For example there wont be any 4G icons in CM framework.
Also, make sure you aren't unzipping the new framework-res.apk you want to theme and flash, or trying to resign it. Only sign the flashable zip, not the individual files inside. The only thing you want to do with the framework-res.apk you will package and flash is open (not unzip) with 7-zip and navigate to the res/drawable-hdpi folder so you can drag and drop the new icons into it, overwriting the old.
I hope that helps!
How important is it to re-sign? I have modified the Framework and Resources apks with 7zip by switching images out. I have also modified the Rosie.apk. I put everything back where it was supposed to go, backed out of 7-zip and flashed. I have never had an issue with it, nor have I re-signed it. Just wondering.

AFAIK if you are on clockwork recovery, I don't think it checks for signatures. I think Amon_ra requires a signed file to flash. I think it's just added protection against flashing any old junk. If you can flash in amon_ra without a signature and you don't have problems then I wouldn't worry about it. It's the signature of the framework-res.apk ( or com.htc.resources.apk) that's important. That's why you don't unzip it.
I think that
1.7.0.2 = yes
1.8 = no

Thanks, any advice does help.
I did make sure the the icons I was swapping out were named the same thing in the CM ROM, but I didn't check the size of it at all.
I didn't unzip the famework-res.apk but instead just went into it with 7-Zip and dragged the icons into that. Then I backed out of 7-Zip so that it would save and close everything properly - know that does work because that is how I add the Fold transistions to the ROM - and then I put the famework-res.apk into the folder and zip it up per your instructions above. Then I manually sign it (still haven't been able to get the auto-signing to work) and then flash.
I'll have to try again moving a CM theme to the CM framework-res.apk and see if it is working. What I was attempting to do was take, from the Batman Theme for sense, the drop down notification shade with the Bat Icon and put it into the CM ROM. I don't know if you have time to try it yourself to see if it works, or if you get the same issues that I had.
Either way, thanks for the help! I know I'll get this theming down at some point!

Hey buddy.
I’m stuck. I had to download and install Eclipse with the sdk plus java. I don’t know where to go from there. Every time I open the rom that I want to theme and get the framework.apk and edit the PNG’s , how do I go about saving them? Do I just used the same name as the old ones or I have to save them with a new name.
Or pm Me.

So now you have an unzipped framewor-res.apk with a bunch of images. This framework should be the one that you want to take icons from. If not, start over with the ROM you want to copy images from. You will want to copy the images you want to put into another ROM so that you can dump them into the new framework-res.apk. After you figure out what icons you want to bring to your new framework, get a clean version of framework/com.htc from the ROM you are actually running - i.e. if you are running myn ROM on your phone, download the myn ROM and pull out the framework-res.apk or com.resources.apk that you are going to theme.
Now with this fresh clean framework you will "open" it with 7-zip to navigate to the /res/drawable-hdpi folder so you can now drag and drop the images you want to copy over into it. Then the close the 7zip window and your framework-res.apk is all set to flash. You don't need to rename if the file names are the same, you can just drag and drop and the files will be overwritten in the new framework.
Has anyone found a way to remove the battery full notification from the 2.3.3 OTA Rom? I know this has been asked before, but I can't tell if the answer is still no, or I simply haven't found the correct thread.

It has been removed in most custom OTA ROMs
Assuming that I don't want to switch to another ROM, is it possible for me to remove the notification from the stock ROM (by modifying framework-res.apk or such), or can the removal only be done when compiling from LG's source?

It can removed from the stock rom, but you need to know exactly what you're doing, as far as modding smali in apks.
Can you give me any help to point me in the right direction for what I need to do? I think I know how to edit the apk's, and I am guessing that I would need to edit one of the xml files, but the naming conventions are not always logical. For example, config_animateScreenLights is related to the crt screen off animation for some reason.

This is not an xml edit, its a small smali edit, but here goes:
adb pull SystemUI.apk from /system/app and decompile SystemUI.apk, navigate to
\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\StatusBarPolicy.smali
Find & remove the ENTIRE "showChargingComplete" method
then find and remove this line
Code:
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy;->showChargingComplete()V
Recompile SystemUI.apk and push to /system/app, then reboot.
If this sounds too hard or tricky, let me know.
Thanks! That worked perfectly.
I don't suppose you could post a link to that modified SystemUI.apk file? I'd love to get rid of the battery full popup, but I've never compiled/decompiled an .apk, so it sure would be a time saver.
Thanks in advance!
I certainly can. A couple of things first. I found that using the OTA, you cannot just push the SystemUI.apk to your phone using adb (it has to do with the permissions baked into the ROM), I had to make a flashable zip. This means that you will need clockworkMOD to flash the zip. Also, the SystemUI.apk that I have includes xboarder56's green signal fix (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748&highlight=ota+gingerbread). I can apply the battery popup fix to a stock SystemUI.apk if you want, just let me know. In any case, I have to recreate the flashable zip, so it will take a few days.
I'm rooted, running the rooted but stock ROM "P999_2.3.3_Stock_OTA" by xboarder.
The only mod I've added is the battery icon mod from this thread installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190283&highlight=battery+mod
So I assume you can't just pull the SystemUI.apk and post, then copy in place using ES Explorer? If you can post a flashable .zip that works for me, whatever is easiest. Many, many thanks....
First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.
Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.
Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.
Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.
Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.
And re-boot! Enjoy...
hah great tip for us

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.
Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

afaik, it's all or nothing. if you resign one system apk, you have to do for all system apk with the same key.

Thats the reason I prefer flashing instead of manually replacing the files cuz then you dont need to set the permissions. Its good for lazy people like me

The easiest and foolproof method is to use Ninjamorph or metamorph app from market.I've modified tones of .pngs with them.
First open the apk with the app
Exit the app
Go to myfiles/Androidthemes/workspace/name-of-apk/res/
Then go to drawable ldpi
Take a look at all of the .png files
Find which .png you want to replace.
You should make your own pic with photoshop or anything to replace it with exact resolution and name
Store it in the sd-card
Open the app again
Go to Existing project/name-of-apk/res/drawable ldpi
Click on the .png you want to replace
App will ask you to replace it with some other .png
Navigate to the modified pic
It'll replace the .png
Then go back to homepage of app
Then click finish project
Tap on the apk name
App will ask you whether you want to replace the original apk
Do as you want
Reboot phone
Make a nandroid backup before everything. cheers

May be you should try it out first.Replacing system apps with root explorer is a very dangerous business.I'm familiar with that.My phone started to do endless boot loops which even a nandroid restore failed to fix and ended up in flashing a new stock rom.

agree
pushing it using adb is a more safer way, because if something goes wrong with forcing it to system then you can just repush the original system apk
you was replacing a running apk. there's no doubt it will give you FC message (lol). try your method to replace framework-res.apk or any system app/framework. b16h22 is right. your method is dangerous.

If you find this icon as ugly as I do you probably researched and figured out that you could remove this by changing the OTHERS.XML in /system/csc/
If you have no problem editing the XML that is probably the easiest solution, however if you are like me and need to have a solution that works as a flashable zip that is indepenedent of the random carrier settings in others.xml this solution might help you.
This is the NFC apk from LL1 samsung release and should in theory be backwards and forwards compatible.

If this works for you please give me thanks / rate the thread. If it doesn't let me know so i can figure out a more universal solution.

Winrar or 7zip will do. Drag the 'res/drawable-hdpi' folder out to and make the changes. Then drag the folder 'res/drawable-hdpi'' back into the apk. Depending on your Windows configuration, make sure there are no 'thumbs.db' files in ANY of the folder in the apk file before you replace the file in your phone or else you're gonna get some force-close upon reboot. Good luck.
PS: After you're comfortable with replacing icons then you go ahead and start replacing icon in all your other programs. systemui.apk, phone.apk, contacts.apk, email.apk, maps.apk, etc...

It also works on official FW and even 5.0.1 Note 4 ports.
I didn't like the stock, so I "fixed" in my way .
I hope you like it.
Screenshots:
Changelog:
1. Removed orange/green caller banner.
2. Removed background on "Last spoke" and moved to left.
Download:

Install:
Put the zip in CWM/TWRP and flash it.
Warning! It's only for DeODEXed ROMs!
Enjoy!

Hi,
You can use it on official deodexed ROMs.
If you mean official Odex then probably you can use it too but need to remove odex file and ARM folder (if exist).

I confirm it works on odex rom too.. :victory:
Official one for sure.. No need to delete any odex file or arm folder-there aren't any to delete..
:highfive:
Please, can you revert back the background color of last talked info because as you can see in the attachment-user picture makes it hard to read the text without the background image..
Also, if possible, please replace the dial pad 'water drop' should with the file in the attached zip-it'll be SOOOOOOOOO great of you..
I hope you understood my request.. :fingers-crossed:
Hi,
Here is the modded apk.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kcogmix32evozui/No_banners_Lollipop_n9005_TheTAMAS.zip?dl=0
I use only dark background pics so thats I made it white transparent.
About dial tone you need to change touch_ripple.ogg from SecContacts_Phone_OSup.apk
You can do it simple with Zip or Rar. No need to decompile (I think).

For some strange reason-this file isn't working..
I tried deleting, over-writing, cut-paste, wipe Dalvik cache, everything that I could think of.. Other person receives call but I don't get to see anything going on, on my end.. Used Flight Mode toggle to disconnect the call..
And I didn't get the 2nd parta your reply 'zip or rar'..

Hm.
Try this one:

For changing touch sound you need to go to:
/system/priv-app/SecContacts_Phone_OSup/SecContacts_Phone_OSup.apk
transfer to PC open with winrar and change the touch_ripple.ogg with yours.

It's working now.. w0.ot :victory:
But the latter part regarding rar/zip didn't.. It force crashes the Contacts app
Please check the attachments
The zip contains the modified apk and the related ogg file
Fyki, I don't know how true it is-I read on XDA long time ago that the sound files are present in the phone apk and not the contacts apk
I tried changing the files at that time too-it gave force crash too.. :laugh:
The reason why I'm still hopeful is because I reckon that zip/rar may not be the right way to do so.. :fingers-crossed:
@TheTAMAS
Try this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxg7aka1cwlti0n/touch_sound.zip?dl=0
It's DeOdexed.
If you have problems remove the Odex file and ARM

There's no related odex file or arm folder but the icon isn't showing up (maybe it has something to do with compression type like best, store, normal)
Please check the attachment..
The app won't even appear forget force crash or running..
What ROM do you run?
Also please check the permissions on the apk.
Sometime it's not set correctly, that's why icon is missing.
Regards

There is some problems with recompiling this apk. Sorry.

Thanks anyways.. :highfive:
Just a question, what is the method for reverting back to Echoe Rom v23 default dialer with full image? I have yours now which I really prefer, but I would like to toggle back just to compare the difference. Than you.
Just extract LegacyInCallUI.apk from your ROM's zip and replace in phone with correct permissions.

Thank you man.. Yours is by far the better option. I can't see how anyone can use the convoluted stock dialer.
