If u are using tarunagg's themes than visit his thread named- change background in themes or so...
For the application icon- decomplile apk edit the icon under res/ drawable or drawable-hdpi. I dont remember the file name. But u will come to know easily after decompiling! After editing recompile it!
Sent from my GT-I9003 CM9

It is in system/framework/framework-res/drawable-hdpi and its name is default_wallpaper. Replace it with another one, close and thats it. It is easy to find because the rest of files are png and xml. Good luck!!
Edit: u dont need to decompile anything. Open with 7zip remove old jpg, introduce new one and when u close, 7zip will say: the file framework-res.apk has been modified. Would u like to update it? Press yes and thats all...

[GUIDE][MOD] Enable navigation bar 4.2.2

This is a quick dev guide to enable navigation bar for S4. Tested on I9505 but should work here also.
Decompile SystemUI.apk go to res/values/drawables and add:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>
Now download attached files and copy files to corresponding folders in SystemUI.apk if folder does not exist(drawables-xhdpi) create it.
Compile SystemUI.apk and push to device (nothing will happen yet) Just to check device boots fine.
Now use any buil.prop editor and add line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You can also enable it now through framework-res method.
Reboot and your done.
Please hit thanks and give credits.

There is no values folder in res.

Wonder how to do it if my rom is odexed ?

I dont think this thread is supported anymore

WOW!
This worked exceptionally well on my T-Mobile GS4 (M919).
I'll slip a thanks your way!

Please can you give details step by step for apks to use to compile and decompile etc for us simple people who want the navigation keys.
Thanks

Use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195680
For odexed rom don't care about odex file as you won't need to change smali files.

Add this to the end of the build.prop file in system/
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You have to use an alternate launcher though, but it works.

This used to work very well with S3 but did not work on i9500 S4. I'll try again.
I dont know how I changed permission but on S4 its showing read only and does not take changes . Can you please guide as to how you changed to read-write for build prop

No that doesnt work. Says systemUI has stopped. I remember that from last time and tried again through rom toolbar

can i use this method on 4.3 rom?

Maybe this should help....

OGBattery Mod Icon for Omega V29 plus other roms KK 4.4.2

OGBatteryMod for KitKat 4.4.2:
Here's the fix for complete OGBattery icon mod files and working in most 4.4.2 roms, incl. v.29 Omega Rom: https://www.mediafire.com/?t6xyaql8g6fjfbw
1- Go here to download the working OGBattery app for 4.4.2 and flash it: OGBattery_plus.zip
It won't work yet until we make these changes:
2- On your Galaxy S4 (I used RootExplorer) go to: system/ app/ com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk and rename it by adding ".bak" after ".apk"
It should then read "com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk.bak"
3- Now you need to rename the OGBattery mod we downloaded and flashed earlier in this same folder from "system/ app/ OGBattery_plus.zip " folder to read: "system/ app/ com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk
4- Reboot Galaxy S4
5- Go on your Galaxy S4 to App drawer screen and click on this app OGBatteryMod - voila, choose from over 80+ icons, colored ones and other types not to be found in Omega's OGBattery
6- You can also tap the battery in the status bar 3x and the app will open with your choices of 2 charging animations as well as 80+ battery icon selections...

Here's a screenshot with just 6 of the 80+ different OGBattery Mod icons now available for Omega V29 4.4.2 KK (most are different from his)

This thread should be moved into omega thread

Hi there,
Unzip OGBattery_plus.zip. Search in the unzipped folders the OGBatteryMod.apk and rename it exactly to com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk. The copy the com.ghareeb.battery-1.apk to the device/system/app folder and change permissions to rw- r-- r--

you have to be on I-9505. Sorry

All I had to do was flash it through TWPR. And it worked with no issues thought would be more battery icons. But it the same as my recent one. Still waiting on a update

Or maybe v33, 'cause now the version with lesser icons is included in the rom and put in /data/app instead of /system/app...
Doin' the trick in /data/app makes me loose the batteryicons alltogether...

Great! Works perfectly. Thanks

Using the Google Pixel bootanim myself. Nice black background, nice dancing colored dots, way better than this one, imho. But, of course, YMMV! :good:

Looks like quite easy to make the background black. But it takes some time... Not into that at the moment. But thanks for posting!

I modified this beautiful bootanimation making the black background. I hope I have done something pleasing to everyone.

I copied the bootanimation.zip to my media folder and now I have no splash screen at all. It's just a generic "andriod" logo with a moving gradient. Trying to replace bootanimation.zip with the original file doesn't fix things. Anyone know a way to get the splash screen, any splash screen to come back?

Check the bootanimation.zip files permissions. Make sure they are: ( rw- r-- r-- ).

Pro Tip:
If you want to run this (or any other boot animation) systemless you can do so via Magisk:
* Using Magisk Manager download the "WatchDogs for OnePlus 5" module, activate and reboot
* Copy the "bootanimation.zip" file you want to use to '/magisk/WatchDogs-bootanimation-OP5/system/media/'
* Reboot
* Profit
NB: rename the existing bootanimation.zip in '/magisk/WatchDogs-bootanimation-OP5/system/media/' if you want to save that for later use.
Disable the module in Magisk to revert to the factory animation.
Thanks to the creator for a good animation!
NB 2: If you're running unencrypted you don't need Magisk, just put your desired boot animation zip in '/data/local/' to use it.

Boot animation has been added to MidnightCore in Magisk manager, for easily, systemless changes of bootanimations among other things.

I believe you have to use a terminal editor for midnight core.

I was getting irritated that this boot animation didn't align properly to my 5T, so I modded it to run at 1080x2160 and align properly with the 5t's default logo. I also cleaned it up slightly, as nagato's still had a little bit of grey visible and I'm far too much of a perfectionist for my own good.
To install, place bootanimation.zip in /system/media and ensure that permissions are -rw-r--r--.
