MOD ICON BORDER REMOVER FOR FLEX THEME
Hi,
UNTESTED Looking for testers. please!
This flashable ZIP should remove the black border icons of the Flex Theme.
I used to have Pardus ROM installed but not anymore so cannot test it on my machine.
I have extracted the icons and install ZIP from CloudyFlex and just relocated them for the MultiHome_Theme_Z_v1.apk in Pardus.
It will only change the icons, there is nothing else in this flashable ZIP (you can check).
Please don't test this if you are unsure how to get back to your original settings. I am not responsible for damaging your phone (it really shouldn't unless you do something really wrong yourself).
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. make a copy of /data/app/MultiHome_Theme_Z_v1.apk and keep it somewhere safe.
2. if you have space on your phone and more time then do a full nandroid backup but the above step 1 should get you back in case this does not work.
3. reboot to recovery
4. flash the ZIP file
5. reboot to system
To restore previous theme, just copy your original MultiHome_Theme_Z_v1.apk back to /data/app and change the permissions. Then reboot.
Should work on old variants.
Could someone please test it and report?
Thanks!

This is my everyday use metamorph, that I personally tweaked to change the notification pull down icons for the notification power widget.
Description
This theme changes your pull-down icons.
This is a MetaMorph theme, so you will need to install MetaMorph from the Market and use it to apply this theme.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE APPLYING THIS THEME!
I am not responsible for any issues this theme causes. It works perfectly fine on my Sexus, but no two phones are alike so your experience may differ.
Feel free to modify or incorporate this theme in part or whole in your own projects. I did not create any of the images as I only compiled from a different theme to customize to my own personal taste.
Instructions:
1. Download attached zip, and place it on your SD card.
2. Go into Rom Manager and reboot into Clockwork Recovery.
3. Do a Nandroid backup just in case (I have thoroughly tested this and never had problems)
4. Reboot - once up and running open Metamorph (install from market)
5. Select "unzip/extract new theme"
6. Select "framework-res.apk" last - click "Apply it!"
7. After it is finished, reboot.
8. Done, Enjoy.
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Having it off causes NinjaMorph and MetaMorph to hang for long periods of time with the "applying" message that some of you may be experiencing.
If the extract option via metamorph gives any issues then just extract it using root explorer; use the "pick existing theme" option in metamorph and select the extracted theme folder and then select the ".xml" file. Good luck and enjoy!
Thanks to:
WatermarkD - for images
Stericson - for MetaMorph
Cyanogenmod - for being awesome
XDA - for giving us a place to colaborate

Is this working for Gingerbread 2.3.4?
Hi, I'm a long time reader, but first time poster. I was hoping someone could help me with this. I'm running a stock deodexed rom and i've changed my battery icons and several others so far, but i'm looking for this exact set of battery icons that I can install through recovery. I'm not sure how to go about making these icons into a zip file to install through recovery or I would do it. Is it possible for someone to make these into icons I can install or else point me to where I can find the file to install? Thanks!
Maybe I could give you a little tutorial? I have manually changed lots of icons in my framework like this. But I started with Jericks smooth sense icons framework, You might need a modified framework to start with and this is a good one because the most modified part of it is the battery. I would pull your framework as instructed below and make sure the appropriate files are there first.
1. Nandroid!
2. Use your file explorer and navigate to system/framework and copy the framework-res.apk to your sd card and then to your computer.
3. Use 7-zip to open it up and navigate to res/drawable-hdpi-v4
4. If you see in this folder all of the same files as in the zip you posted? Then you may proceed by deleting all of those files from your existing framework and then copying the new battery icons into the folder in their place. When you exit from the apk it will ask it you want to update it, do so.
5. Go to this site http://circle.glx.nl/ and select flashable zip only, upload your newly modified framework-res.apk, select next to upload and create your new zip which you can download.
6. Place on sd card and flash through recovery.
Thank you so much! This looks a lot easier now that you explained it. I really appreciate the help!

I sent you a PM on Droid Forums, but I'll post it here too. This is the smooth sense icons with the blue circle battery that you wanted. Make a backup first. Let me know if you have any problems.
You can get it here.
Hi all. This theme is for those who are still on Overcome 1.4.X due to various reasons. For myself I'm still on Overcome 1.4.X because of the contacts issue. So since there's no theme for Overcome 1.4.X, I've decided to port Rainbow Ng's theme for Overcome 1.6.X to Overcome 1.4.X (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050118). For those interested, you can take a look at the screenies at the link provided.
I've edited some stuffs according to my own preference like removing the words from the quick toggle in the notification pulldown and some other miscellaneous stuffs.
And as usual, I'm not responsible if this theme screws your tab upside down. It works for me so I believe it will work for everybody on Overcome 1.4.X as well.
Instructions:
1. Backup your current framework-res.apk or just backup the whole system using cwm if you dunno what you're doing.
2. Download the .zip
3. Flash the zip using recovery.
Easy. When you flash, you'll see that the "Pretty patch for Overcome ver 1.6.1 & 0". DO NOT PANIC. It's fine. I hijacked his .zip file cos I do not know how to make a flashable zip myself.
AGAIN. THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE ON OVERCOME 1.4.X ONLY.
If you don't like the theme after flashing, pull the framework-res.apk and the respective system apps from Overcome 1.4.X full rom(not update) and replace them into the .zip which u downloaded from this thread and then flash it.
If you want the theme only and not the black background settings, just pull the respective system apps from Overcome 1.4.X full rom and replace it in the .zip which u downloaded from this thread and then flash it.
If you want the black settings page, pull the framework-res.apk from Overcome1.4.X full rom and replace it into the .zip file which u downloaded from this thread and then flash it.
Download:
V1.1 - http://www.multiupload.com/PBRPYSYRCM
credits to:
rainbow ng for his great theme.
Galaxyer for his help with .xml stuffs.
alterbridge86 for the great rom.
zenkinz for black accounts page.
Hit me some thanks if you appreciate the port. thanks And if you find any problems, post it here and I'll try to fix it if i know how to.
V1.1[10/05/11]
- fixed accounts and settings to have black page. individual accounts now have black background.
- changed the color of the secondary text of accounts (under "Manage accounts") to blue. The texts "Sync is ON/OFF" are now blue in color instead of white.
- fixed download provider to have white text when downloading an app from the market.
V1.0 [06/05/11]
- initial port.
Thank you kay but could you please post the original 1.4.x framework as flashable zip in case god forbid things go south or if someone doesnt like.
EDIT also put [MOD] if you dont mind in thread title. Great job btw

Weird. I reflashed it and it worked for me. exact same file that i uploaded. this only works for 1.4.x u know right?
i built the port from scratch using the stock Overcome 1.4.X framework-res.apk so in theory it should work for all. hmmmmmm....
does anyone else have the same problem?

GUIDE: CREATING SMALL FLASHABLE ZIPs TO RESTORE FILES OR SETTINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO DO FULL NANDROID RESTORE
This will enable you to apply MODs without having to do a FULL NANDROID restore to recover if the MOD fails or if you don't like it
This brief guide will teach you how to create a flashable ZIP file that you can use to restore your phone to pre-MOD settings if you want to revert back or if the MOD simply does not work
WITHOUT having to do a full restore of your phone.
It is a very good idea to create these backup flashable ZIPs and keep them safe to recover from mishaps or when creating/testing MODs/themes.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
As usual: Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any loss of data or functionality on your phone. To be 100% sure, always make a NANDROID backup if you are not 100% certain you can recover.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
There are many reasons you might want to do this, for example when testing a MOD for another ROM that is similar to yours but not exactly the same (eg: Optimus G3 vs Cloudy G3) or when upgrading your ROM to a new version and wanting to re-apply old MODs.
There are many ways to get into boot loops or fail to boot, the biggest culprit being fonts installations, but include also bootanimations and others.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Part 1: general
1. Install ZIPme app from playstore
2. Find out which files are being modified by the MOD you are trying to apply, this is usually framework-res.apk, LGSystemUI.apk, lge-res.apk, but be aware that some MODs affect a lot of files. See part 2 for more details on how to do this.
3. If you are applying a font, don't worry, the FONTs section (see part 2) should cover all Fonts.
4. If you are applying a bootanimation, don't worry, the bootanimation section (see part 4) should cover all Bootanimations.
5. For every flashable ZIP you create you can test it straight away by booting into recovery and applying the zip file. There is no reason why it should not work.
Part 2: FONTS
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FOLDER: /system/fonts
- ADD FILE: /system/etc/system_fonts.xml
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 3: MODs that affect framework-res.apk, LGSystemUI.apk or any other app
1. Find out which apks are being modified:
- You should of course read the OP (instructions for the MOD)
- The easiest way to find out modified apks is to download the MOD and open it: the zip file will contain either the apk files themselves or have directories with the names of the apks being modified.
- You can always ask the developer to make sure
2. Once you have a full list of files being affected you can create the flashable zip:
- in ZIPme, simply select "ADD -> File" for every file being affected
- If you have an ODEX ROM (.odex files are present) make sure you pick those too!
- save the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 4: Bootanimations
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FILE: /bin/bootnimation
- ADD FILE: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
- ADD FILE: /system/media/shutdownanimation.zip
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 5: Other flashable files you should always keep handy
1. Always keep with you the following files for good measure: they don't take much space but can help recover from problems without having to fully restore from NANDROID backup
- original kernel from your ROM
- flashable bootloader (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable baseband (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable recovery image (TWRP, etc)
- "Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip": this is created by Xposed when you install it. It is located in the root folder of your sdcard. Copy it and put it somewhere safe.
- SuperSU: keep a flashable latest SuperSU with you to recover root

does it save paired bluetooth and wifi devices?

Can you use this to make a zip of boot.img and libs? Not finding how to do that. Thanks for any information.

Nope. It saves what you tell it to save.
The guide as it is only saves files, was meant for modding restore, not other stuff.
If you try mods a lot and don't like a certain theme or icon set you don't need to do a full nandroid backup and full restore because you changed 3 files in your mod.

Not with what I wrote.
The app ZIPme can do a lot more than simple file recovery, but I am not an expert at flashable zips so can't comment on more advanced uses like buildprop etc.
I would certainly not write anything about boot images, way too likely to cause someone to screw up their phone....
Pick a flashable boot/libs zip file from somewhere and try to reproduce at your own risk.
This is a Zip Themer zip file that I created for my One (M8) Lollipop 5.1 stock rom phone. I had searched all over the threads for one and I decided to create one when I couldn't find. The Home Key is replaced by the words "One M8" and a few changes on the back key and recent task list.
I have to give credits to Candy Shop thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383098) where I got the inspiration from. If you don't know how to use Zip Themer, then have a look at the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39572221&postcount=18
Also, it is important to understand that in my case I opted to use a rom zip (@Matthew0776 step 4 in configuring Zip Themer) for @digitalhigh the Sense 7 Camera which doesn't have aroma installer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...apps/app-sense-camera-gallery-m8-rom-t3008262). I would highly recommend you also use a Rom that's compatible with M8 ROM that you are installing on without Aroma Installer. Else, you could opt use the Sense 7/6 Camera as mentioned earlier.

NB: ALWAYS make a Nandroid before flashing. Also make sure you create an undo zip with Zip Themer.

Your views are welcome and probably what soft keys you would like to see.
Screenshots
Attached are the screenshots
seems very complicated much better if you mentioned all the step by step
Does it work with Sense 7 ? I tried to install your navbar and everything went fine but in the end my navbar did not change.
Very complicated if you ask me.
1: open the SystemUI.apk
2: drag the drawable-xxhdpi folder out it and edit the navbar icons with paint (or whatever)
3: drag the folder back in the apk and push it via the recovery to system/priv-app/SystemUI/
4: reboot and it's done
