Since i got not much time and people want to get the G4 style on their devices
Here's a step by step tutorial how you can port it over to your device
Tools Needed
JAVA!
Winmerge
*Any ZIP Utility to add the Original META-INF if the tool doesn't doing it automatically
BDFreaks Apktool It's Highly Recommended
*Apktool Apktool This isn't an official Build from Ibotpeaches but the tool is built from his sources Replace it with the apktool in BDFreaks tool since it's outdated and might give you errors on android 5.1 related files
1. Download the needed files and extract the content to 2-in in BDFreaks Avanced APKtool. as in pic
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
G4-SystemUI & G4-Frameworks
This are what you are going to "look at the differences and merge the code from"
2. Open up the AAT (AdvancedApkTool) and select 1. to install the frameworks (as seen in picture)
*Make sure to load correct framework for correct device else you'll end up with a total decompiling failure (if unlucky)
You need to load both lge-res & framework-res!
3. Press 2. to select what file you wan't to decompile
4. Once Decompiled (both G4 apps and G3 apps) Open Up Winmerge And Select The Files you wan't to compare (Select The Icon Folder on the Top Left)
5. Now start looking at the files and their differences (There might be some huge change in layout and more, i'd rather say don't touch them from the beginning, you might end up in FC and then you might say CRAP i quit!) See this example Pic of how it look like
6. Once done *Some Changes* Press 3. and you will get a window similar to option 2.
Select the file you made changes in and see if it succeed, IF NOT, Read Post 6.1 if it does go to 6.2
6.1
If you get this window
Press Y to open up the log Once Open you'll get some detailed info like
In this case i got this
It tells me that the android:actionBarSize' with value (@)dimen/titlebr_height isn't declared in the dimen.xml *Note that this is an example, the name of the style was originally titlebar_height but you'll face similar issues.
Now you navigate to dimen.xml with winmerge and press CTRL+F and copy the text after (@)dimen/ and paste it in the search window, You'll most likely end up to the "missing declaration". Note sometimes there is similar codes like a titlebar_height
titlebar_height_max this can be confusing sometimes since you might not know if it's needed or if you already have it,
i'd say if you only got one value in the log that is either missing or not defined. just copy over that info and then recompile again, if you got a new recompile failure, just read the logs. This will be happening over and over again unless you don't study the XML files and then add the lines where they are referring to before compiling.
6.2
If it recompiles without issues you're good to go to copy over the apk to your device. *i preffer to always open the new created apk to check if the app has the META-INF (at least after 1.st successful compilation) in this way you won't get the corrupt package if you add the original META-INF before pushing it to your device.
Now i hope i covered up most of the basics, there might be logs that is coming that you might not understand, you can feel free to post them on this thread.

This is the most common way to port features etc from a later model. Yet it takes time if you want to get some special features working. since it may cause fc etc.

Dear all master in here,
I wanna ask something, I wanted to make small modification to my systemui.apk.. I saw my friend running his phone (thunderbolt) changing the signal icon from 1x into 4G.. I wanted to do it on my shift, so I can bragged around even I didn't have a 4G access.. just for fun you know..
I tried to only rename the icon name but it seems too much to rename and I can't pick it up one by one..
If the only way is to rename it one by one, can somebody tell me which file I need to change..?
I wanted my wifi signal symbol became 4G signal symbol..
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2
Try this if you use 7zip. copy your apk into an empty folder. right click it and chose "extract here". When it opens up go into res/drawable-hdpi. In here you can change the icons but don't change the names. Give the one you want to use the name of the one in use and delete the old one. You might have to do this in the framework-res apk too. And the com.htc.resources apk if on sense. To zip it back up, highlight the parts of the apk you want to zip and right click. Using 7zip, left click "add to archive..." then rename it systemUI.apk instead of systemUI.zip and click ok.
Ok, then the only way is to change it manually,
Could you tell me sir which file i should replace inside the systemui.apk..? I wanted to use newRunny for this, as I found out it quiet stable for me, beside the calendar widget and 4G..

There are so many ways to do this. Here is another
Basically all you have to do is open the apk with 7zip and drag the res folder to desktop, look for what the image name of the wifi indicators are. already have all your 4G images on the desktop and rename them to what the wifi images are, drag them back into the res folder you pulled from the apk. Overwrite the wifi images and drag it back into the apk.
Or another
Decompile the apk. Find images you would like to replace and name the new images the same as the ones you want to replac, put the new images in the decompiled apk. Then recompile and resign if needed.
Ok then.. I thought there is another way to do it. My friends told me some site that can manipulate systemui.apk,, but there is no choice to edit systemui.apk for evo shift.. only for some newer device like thunderbolt, sensation, evo lte..
BTW I'll try your way sir.. I'll posted the result.. thanks

Can the 7zip trick be applied to a framework-res.apk file?
I tried once...through apkmulti tool..it ruined the framework...after pushing device didnt boot...
Just renaming .zip to .apk makes it installable ?

System apk's & jar's need to preserve the signatures they have on them(or have signatures that match the rest of the system), that is more then likely why you had trouble before with framework-res.
Some of the methods mentioned above are ways to add the files you changed back into the original apks/jars, which keeps the signatures in tact.

Yes sir that should work for images only
Yup, because essentially its just a zip file, and like was said when you extract it you lose the "signature" that was placed on the original signed one

FAQ: I'm not the developer of this app. I am just sharing this to the community
Want to be a developer but don't have a computer to do the job?
Then Apktool which was previously built for computers can now be used on your android phone
Requirements:
- Rooted Android Device
- File Manager with root permissions (e.g Root Browser, ES File Explorer)
- Some Knowledge on modding APK files
(If you don't know how to, just search for guides for your favourite mod)
- A Fully Functional Brain
Downloads
You can find the files here
Setting up
1. Download the latest version of apktool.apk and apktool_armhf.zip
2. When finished, extract apktool4.1_armhf.zip and move the apktool folder the the root of your SD card (sdcard/ place here)
3. Install the apk file
How to use it
1. If you want to mod your Systemui or framework-res just grab those files using a root explorer and place them in a new folder either on your internal or external SD card.
2. Go back to apktool and hold on the apk till a pop up menu appears.
3. Install framework first then you can proceed to decompiling
4. If you have finished doing your business, compile it back, delete the original apk and rename the modded apk to the original one.
Notes
If you don't know anything about codes I suggest you to search for mods with guides around XDA.
Have fun being a developer and hit the thanks button if I've helped you

Im curious, when you wrote to download the latest versions there was only 1.4 but the apktool is 1.52 I believe....
Will that version work with this? Or do you have to use this version?

This is hands down the most useful tool for devs (or occasional dabblers like myself) who have pretty much abandoned their computers in favor of their Android devices...call me lazy, but there have been several times where I've been playing on my phone while watching TV and I come across something I'd like to try - but then completely disregard it simply because I don't want to leave my perch and go into the other room to get on the computer.

Yeah, I'm also wondering about this...
Decompiled the Framework.jar quite easily, but after editing ang recompiling, it only shows:
Code:
I. Smaling...
Killed
If my memory serves right, here at XDA, There's a file (two files actually) which you'll put at system/bin or system/xbin, run an Terminal Emulator, and you can instantly (well, it always depends on the size) recompile Framework.jar.
But the problem is, I don't have the files anymore (forgot to make a back-up), and I forgot what did I typed , or what I searched to get there...
I decompiled apktool.apk to test (& to change the icon), I changed the icon and now I can't recompile.

No, why?
If you move one apk by one you'll replace existing apk with a new one.
You'll see that when OS ask you "are you sure you want to overwrite existing apk"?

Yeah...that sounds right.
I'm sure jfx used redtheme.apk as a base and as system already has same signature it won't work...
@jfxperias
Mate, I can't remember who built those themes (that doesn't overwrite existing ones) but if you know it would be great if you could modify them.
Not only you wouldn't overwrite existing themes but you'll "expand your market" 'couse one shouldn't be rooted to use them than.
We should be able install them like all others apps

so, i played a little bit and now i can install the redtheme.apk without deleting the pinktheme.apk.
pinktheme.apk = heat
redtheme.apk = hot.
can be installed as a normal user app.
it doesn't replace the original apk
for testing only:

Awesome guys, keep up
It would be very good if you "fix" that Xperua theme (blue) and preserve that gradient settings background.
@jfxperias will remember - I just love that background, it changes OS to beautiful and ten times better UI.
It's super easy to change settings.apk and change background but you have to have root.
What you did, mate, is that all guys who doesn't have root privileges can install and use this...
Once again - thank you...

Anyone who tried this mode?
This patch should help to see all changes on MODed themes on stock ROM.
So if someone is using stock 4.3 and want to install MOD 4.3 theme - please try this patch and report.

I spoke to Niaboc79 and he sugested we should patch services.jar and try to bypass Sony signature check for installing apps which
are not meant to be for our device.
Some of the app from new Xperia (Z1s and similar are not installing after moving into system with correct permission
after installing this mod it will enable the user to use app with out any problems.
Basically we are trying to find a way to build themes for 4.3 without Sony signatures or keys.
Services.jar is patched and it'll skip signature check when you are trying to install any app.

i can't decompile your services.jar,
all my tools can't find classes.dex
but the file is there
*edit*
now is all ok,
i have made a mistake :silly:
*2nd edit*
is the same like mine
the only difference is the size of the file.
yours is 2.80mb,
my from the ihackers rom is just 1.32mb
That's good
That could mean mine is O.K... Haha...
It's very simple to patch so I really can't see what could be wrong

I'll add another file in the link (framework.jar)
Both files should be moved to system/framework with right permissions (instructions are in OP).
If someone who is using NUT ROM could add that files to his/her system and try to install MODed theme

@funky0308, I hate this new UI. I like this UI what is now. If Sony give us this ugly UI, I will stay on 4.3 This is my opinion and don't take it seriously

Mate - you don't know how much I agree with you
SonyUI is the best UI I ever saw and I would like to have that on everything.
I should receive Omate TrueSmartwatch and first thing I'm planning to do is MOD UI (Android 4.2.2) to be similar to Sony UI.
I found this quick settings convenient and nice but it absolutely need more Sony touch.
I don't like CM look.

I'm not sure...
It could work but I can't guarantee that 100%...
Make backup and try...
If it won't work I'll make another one but for now there's no need for patched services.jar in ROM.
Custom themes will work only on stock based ROMS and they are already patched.

in each new firmware must be patched services.jar again,
if not you became a bootloop

Well it depends on many things but generally speaking - yes, we'll have to patch it again.
If system update doesn't update framework files, it's just visual fix - then, of course, old framework files should work.
But in this case, Sony changed them so we must patch services.jar from 136.
I'm using 290 - and I'm not planning to go to 136 - just can't find a reason why should I.
I was using 136 for a few days and everything is absolutely the same (for me) except Tapatalk works terrible.
I'll flash new OS when we get something better...

@jakTomas I wrote turorial for kitkat 4.4.2 ..... if you are running JB 4.3, u may proceed to the link on first post
Having an issue where re-zipping the folder causes the apk file to not be read correctly
Fixed ! all what was needed is just drag the modded png inside the opened archive not repack it
U can drag modded png if you'r using laptop.. but if you'r using hp you need to unzip n repack back.
Sweet, thanks... Needed to change weather icons too so this definately helped...
Great, works fine on my Note 3
Here is my patched file (remove .zip)

Install xposed framework.
Then install appsettings.
Then look for sviewcover.apk and set to 480dpi.

If your ROM is odexed, just rename SViewCoverService.odex to SViewCoverService.odex.bak (or delet it) then reboot.
