Modifying The Icons On Status Bar with SystemUI - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the past days with older version of Android, it is easy to do by modifying PNG files in drawable-xxhdpi folder in SystemUI.apk, but now with the new version like Marshmallow, I can't find those specific PNG files of Wifi, signal strength and battery icons in systemui.
Not only the Z5 which I'm using now, my HTC One M8 with 6.0.1/Sense 8 can't find those files either.
How can I modify those icons now with Marshmallow?
The picture below is my HTC M8 with Lollipop+Sense 6, I have modified the Wifi and battery icon.

From Android Kitkat on, statusbar icons are drawed by code instead of being rendered from .png files.
You should root and install one of the Xposed modules that have this function, for example Xstana
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-xstana-navigation-status-bars-t2834474
If you are able to, you can take the challenging apk-editing way to change the icons (editing of xml and smali files inside SystemUI.apk). For the battery icon you can follow this guide (and try if it works on Z5): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761928

Change Signal Meter

i have the stock cm7 4 bar signal meter and would love to get the one on this phone

its the signal meter on the huawei ascend it shows both 3g and 1x at the same time, i read somewhere that in the build prob file you can change hd_new_doublesignal=1 to hd_new_doublesignal=0 and it makes it only show either 3g or 1x depending on what its using. could that be reversed to make it show both on the desire? but my build prob doesnt even have the hd_new_doublesignal line.
EDIT: i added ro.config.hw_new_double_signal=1 to my build.prop file rebooted and the bars are the same, so theres more to it than just adding that to the build.prop anyone know what i would need to do? i have my sisters ascend here to pull any file i need off of it to do it.
You have to change/edit the icons in the SystemUi.apk, or in a Themefile in com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi
would i be able to just pull the icons from the ascend?
ok i replaced the icons in systemui.apk with some 6 bar icons, problem is there not accurate. i have read i need to edit the services.jar file for the 2 new bars to read correctly, problem is i read that i must add some strings into the StatusBarPolicy.smali file, but when i decomipled the services.jar file i have no StatusBarPolicy.smali file ?

There should be a option in CM Settings -> Power Widgets -> Color
If not, it must be implemented on CMParts.apk

Decompile "systemui.apk" using advanced apk tools (you can find that on XDA) and then in the res>>drawable-hdpi>> you will find ".png.9" files.
And then in Values>>color.xml will help you. also the res>>drawable and res>>xml>> some file matching superstatusbar...
Edit these files and you will get desired results.

Editing messenger and dialer status bar color?

I am working on a mod of the dialer to look more like the G5 the only problem i am having is editing the status bar color of the messenger and dialer/contacts app. Does anyone know how to do this to the apps themselves without xposed? I am not sure if its an xml thats making it not seemless or what.
I want to make it a seemless transition to where the app and status bar is the same color.

Decompile both of them and look in the Manifest for the first activity that has a style. After you found that, go to res/values/style and search for that specific style. Then add this line
Code:
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#ffff0000</item>

Manipulate Notification panel android 12

I would like to modify the notification panel a bit.
I use a custom Rom, and are able to compile it my self (done it already), but never really changed anything.
Since I looked at some code, I would guess that I have to tinker around with xml files.
My Problem, where do I find them(to change the notification panel, directory would be helpful).
Are there other things I have to look out for when changing them(like file size, editing make files, etc.)
{
"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_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. Making the grey background transparent
2.Only if I am able to, but I think that it would look better with the curves following the blue line.
3. I do not have a camera there, so it's unused space.
hey, i have a rooted galaxy with android 13, can i replace the notification panel files to have the stock notification panel, im new at modding so i dont know how to edit it
