thanks again...

is there a way like what we do with boot animation?
open this directory and copy the .tff file in there? anything like that?
thanks again though...

You can copy the TTF file, by way of copying ttf files to / system / fonts
just rename ttf file name as the original file on /system/font
example
you will copy the Times New Roman.ttf, you have to rename it to DroidSand.ttf
and then copied to / system / fonts
backup your phone before doing this
remember to change Permissions ttf file
attch1 Permissions ttf file
attch2 Permissions ttf original file / DroidSans.ttf on /system/font
attch3 example on my GalFit
i use Root Explorer app

[TUTORIAL][GB] Theming your status bar (Without decompiling apk)

Ok guys I'm posting this thread as I couldn't find a post which was easy to understand for newbies(like me) to customise the status bar.
This is pure basic and any noob can do it....
Doesn't involve decompiling of Apk...
[EDIT]:As pointed out by arunsai123 TRANSPARENT STATUS BAR MOD with this method works only for gingerbread roms [I GUESS NEVER TESTED IT ]
SOME MODS MAY REQUIRE YOU TO DO SOME SMALI EDITING SO THESE STEPS WONT WORK OUT [BUMMER]
Works universally for all ROMS!!
Prerequisite :
1.File manager with root explorer
2.7 zip or winrar (I used 7zip)
3.Image editing software (eghotoshop) (optional)
4.Offcourse basic computer knowledge.
Steps:
1.Navigate to /system/app and copy Systemui. Apk to root of your sd card
2.Copy the Apk to your pc.
(You can also pull /system/app/Systemui. Apk using adb)
3.Now open the Apk using 7zip and navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi
Here you can see the different icons used by your ui.
4.Now identify the. Image you need to edit (can be understood easily as the file names are self explanatory) (eg the image for notification. Drawer. Background is status_bar_background.png)
5.Extract that image out of the archive and edit using an image editing tool
6.Now drag the edied image back into 7zip Approve the prompt to replace the existing file.
(Or you can replace it with an already created image(Take care that it is of the same name, resolution and format.
7.Now copy this to your phone and replace the original. Systemui. Apk with the new one. (the process Systemui may force close and your status bar dissappear.... DON'T PANIC)
(You can also push using adb)
8.Now reboot to recovery and fix permission (inside advanced menu)
9.That's it you will be welcomed by your own home made status bar at your next reboot.
If you liked the status bar icon /background of any rom then they can extracted by opening the zip file of the rom and navigating to /system/app
Then extracting the Systemui. Apk
Extract Systemui . Apk using 7zip and finding the required files
Then put these in your Systemui. Apk using the steps above
If you release your mods please give credit to the creators of original images(If you use anybody else's images)

People searching for transparent status bars can do it easily by this method..
Just replace status_bar_background.png with a transparent or translucent image...
[EDIT]:attached a translucent background

Can we try this on owr phone using xplorer ( filemanager) and some image editing tool
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app

Offcourse you can............any filemanager (personally recommend es file explorer) with root access can be used just remember to.enable root explorer and mount system as writable otherwise you won't be able to access those files.......
Also remember status icons may have more than 1 image....1 for each state so edit all of them otherwise these icons can go real nasty....

Wrong

Do you think just Replacing the png with transparent one will give transparent mod?
Try your mod in any ics rom and give me proof. Transparent status bar requires some xml,smali editing along with png replacement .

Status bar disappear even after fixing per.

i think i followed your steps correctly:
- copied systemui.apk from internal memory to SDcard;
- i copied and past (overwrote) ALL the battery images from jaggyjags ROM to /res/drawable-mdpi in the SDcard;
- i enabled root explorer and mount system as writable in ES explorer file;
- copied the new systemui.apk from SDcard to /system/app (in internal memory);
- status bar disappeared and an error message kept showing off;
- i turned the phone off -> went in recovery -> advanced -> fix permission;
- rebooted the system.
that's all i did...

For battery you have to change icons in two apks one on systemui.apk and another in framework-res or com.HTC.resources....
I don't remember because it's been a while since I themed sense 3.5...
You can extract and examine both..

How To Modify Themes From Theme Store For S6/Note5 Roms.

Hello again everybody!
So today I have a way for you to modify themes that are from official samsung theme Store, the method is hard and it does take a lot of time so bare with me.
First of all you will need a rooted device, obviously lol
Also you will need to have, root explorer and xploer. Now for the stepes:
1- Open root explorer and go to Data > App
2- You will see many many folders for the theme, in my case I will modify something in the home screen so the folder should have your theme name and then home and the end like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.home-1 )
3- Open the folder you will find an apk called base.apk
3- copy that apk and paste To somewhere else
4- Open explore and find the copied Base.apk
5- modify the things you want, for an example I changed the folder Look, I took a folder icon, renamed it To .qmg instead of .jpg then renamed that icon exactly like the folder icon For the theme, then deleted That old One and replaced it with the new one. ( do the same with any icon you want in any base.apk)
6- Open root explorer, take the new modified base.apk and replace it with the old one, set permissions And then reboot.
If it didn't work On the first time then apply the theme then apply another theme And then apply the theme again.
This may not be the best way, but it's the only way to modify them so far.
Do not copy my method on any place without my permission!! Thank you.
Hit Thanks if you liked it!

Thank you for the tutorial ��

How to modify only wallpaper and other images in theme

Click to expand...

Go to the same place, find a folder named your theme and then wallpaper like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.wallpaper ) you will find an apk inside called base.apk go inside, then go inside res And then you will find 3 wallpapers, one for homescreen one for lockscreen, one for Sview cover.

I know that as I have done that Before. ..But what about the settings page,contacts page And other pages wallpaper...How to change them...bcoz for changing wallpapers of homescreen,lockscreen and s-view we don't have to modify an apk we can simply change it Through settings...

You will find other folders but instead of having wallpaper at the end, you will see contacts, settings, home...etc

Hello MrHollywood, looks like no one has posted here for a while but I'll give it a shot and hope for a reply/help. Your instructions are great, I've been wanting to know how to do this since my Galaxy S6.....I'm now onto an S8, rooted and rockin' an altered theme thanks to you! I have been able to use another themes icon pack with success, however when I use another theme's "InCallUI" (accept, reject, hangup icons in phone dialer) I cannot get them to stick. They will stay for a duration then default back to the Samsung goofy cartoon icons. I know that restarting phone triggers the reset but it also randomly triggers without restart. I can get them back by applying another theme then re-applying my theme....but a bit of a pain to have to do everytime!
What I have done, as per your instructions, is taken the "InCallUI.apk" out of theme's "base.apk", edited it and replaced. I have also placed that same edited InCallUI.apk into; Data > Overlays > Style > mytheme folder, then changed permissions to "rwx r-- r-w". I use these permission because all the other apk's in this folder use them.
Any advise or corrections in what I'm doing would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
