[THEMING -Basic] - Easy Way to EDIT SystemUI.apk/Apps Background

Hi there! Just wanna share..
Just a basic background on how to theme your ROMS. - ofcourse, give thanks to the developer of your ROMs! .
I made this thread for those users who have personal wishes for their Phones. Ofcourse, ROM developers cannot please all of its users. so just make your own and be happy!.
I just made it easy for easy understanding and for the newbies.
Tried so many times and tested
I've already tried editing the systemUI.apk of different ROMs.
Here's what I did :
FIRST : Download 7zip to open the archived apk. - that's free.
Extracting first the Zip File..
(make sure you copy the original before extracting it for back up)
1. Download the ROM.zip and extract it to your PC.
2. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi/Mdpi/hdpi
3. View the PNG files you wanted to change and make sure to remember its' file name.
4. After editing/changing the file/image you wanted, you can save it anywhere from your PC, let's say on your Desktop.
- Make sure that the file name still remains as is..
*After you're done editing, updating the PNG files you wish to change, follow this steps to update the zip file :
NOTE : You can apply transparency by editing the PNG file to photoshop by reducing the opacity of the image
1. Go to the original ZIP file of ROM.Zip from your PC
2. Right Click the folder and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive
3. Close all of windows/Browers (or minimize)
4. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi and it will open a new window of 7zip showing the files inside the zip.
5. Now, given your edited PNG files or downloaded png files (assuming that files are located in your desktop). - Click and simply DRAG the file(s) from your desktop to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ mdpi/hdpi
6. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
7. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
8. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
9. Close the 7zip window and that's it!.
You can now install the .zip by copying the UPDATED zip file to your SD Card.
(Note: Make sure to copy the updated one, not the backed up one)
Install the zip file from the original thread's instructions and reboot twice.
After that, you have now a customized systemUI.apk.
For those who do not want to reinstall the whole package.. follow these steps:
1. I assumed that you have the zip file of your ROM.
2. Extract it and go to \system\app\
3. Separate the SystemUi.apk - put it on your desktop. create a back up,
Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> extract here - just to view the files you wanted to change.
Just go the folder and search for the PNG files.
4. Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive.
5. Go to \res\drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi
6. Click and simply DRAG the PNG file(s) from your desktop to \res\drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi
7. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
8. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
9. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :
1. Download and install rootexplorer.apk
2. Download the png files you wanted to update.
3. Copy and paste the NEW SystemUi.apk that you have updated/Edited to your SD card.
4. Open root explorer in your galaxy y then go and tap MOUNT R/W.
5. Go to \SDCard and go to new SystemUI.apk that you have updated.
6. Long press the file and select copy
7. Press back and go to \system\app - tap MOUNT R/W at the top.
8. Paste the new SystemUI.apk from there.
(Note : You will encounter a lot of force closes for the exixsting systemui is currently being used by your phone. - just ignore it a lot and scroll down to look for the new SystemUI.apk.
9. Once you get there, long press on it and select permissions:
from the pop up, make the checked one like this :
•___•____ •
•___ .____.
•___ .____.
where Dots are the checked one - Bigger dots
After encountering a lot of force closes, then reboot the phone and that's it!
(Force Closes are normal, DON't PANIC - logically, you are currently using your systemUI.apk so just ignore it)
NOTE : You can also apply the same steps in editing system files apps, just edit the .png files and locate it using 7zip(when you already opened it). Have a little LOGIC on how to edit system app background - same process. just different apk files and directory .

Tutorial - Changing App Icons

Tutorial :- Changing App Icons
Hi Friends,
This is a little Tutorial about changing app icons permanently. There was a lot of applications available in Playstore like
“ icon changer free” etc etc to change the app icons. But the problem is that u cant use that changed apps in ur app drawer. U can only use that in ur home screen as a shortcut.
So I just decided to put a little tutorial to do that easily. I know everybody will know this already. But it will help for someone I am sure….
Credit goes to my friend dewanshu93 for teaching me this by personally
Credit Why So Serious? For the Icons
(And Sorry For My Bad English)
Tools Needed:-
(a) One PC
(b) 7 zip
(c) Some good icons
STEPS:-
1) Get some cool icons from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207136 and save it ur PC. Give him big thanks for the work.
Edit:- If u need some cool Galaxy S4 icons means go here: - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216289 Please give thanks for his work..
2) Put the apps u want to change the icons to a Folder in ur PC. For example SemcAlbum, Phonebook, Browser etc
3) Here I am taking the Phonebook app for Example..
4) Right Click the Phonebook apk -> Open With -> 7zip File Manager. Then U will get a box contained some files like the attached Image 1
5) Then double click on the res folder and u get another box like attached Image 2
6) Find the folder named “ drawable-xhdpi “ and open it. U will get This Image 3
7) And most important thing is u need to find the original icon and its name of the phonebook.apk or whatever apk u take …
8) For that an easy way is create a new folder in ur PC’s Desktop and select all the images from the box ( Image 3 ) then drag it to the that new folder in the desktop.
9)Then open that folder then search for original the apk icon. Look in to Image 4
10) In my case the name of the Phonebook.apk’s icon is “ic_launcher_contacts “. So just note down the icon name and then open the folder that contains the icons that u downloaded. Image 5
11) And choose which icon u need and select it. Then rename it to the exact name of the original apk icon. ( For example ic_launcher_contacts )
12) After that just drag that renamed icon to res/drawable-xhdpi. It will ask for overright. Press Ok or Yes. That’s it. Copy the apk to ur phone and move it to the System/app with correct permission…
Check the lastly Attached Two images for ur refference .
U can do it with almost all the apks. But I cant guarantee that it will work with all apks. Some System apks did not worked for me…
And also u can take icos from other apks too..
And this is my first work in XDA. Any mistake is there means I am sorry…
Thanks....

Lookin good.. Thanks for sharing this..:good:

Samsung Floating Messages

Samsung Floating Messages/ Air Messages For Motion ROM And Based ROM s​Description
I think you may be familiar with the Floating Messages Feature on the Android till now.
This Feature provides a Pop-up For an incoming message
There are alternate ways and things you can compare it to
- It can be enabled through Xposed Module - Gives a Simple Recieving UI
- Lollipop Floating Message - A Material Style Pop-up with View Option
- And The one HERE is Original Samsung 5.1.1 Floating Message - Provides an Floating Widget Pop-up Which can be moved around + Has Option to Call, Reply and View the message + Heads-up Pop up For Other Messaging apps such as Whatsapp, Wechat, etc.
Sooo... I have Recompiled and Ported the original one on our devices...
Installation
There are 2 ways to install this-->
1) Auto Installation -
1. Download the Flashable ZIP Provided
2. Flash it via Custom Recovery - You can use any - CWM, TWRP, Philz
2) Manual Installation
1. Download the ZIP Provided
2. Extract it using an Flie Explorer
3. Move/Replace all Files in Folder 'system' to the respective places
4. Change permission of files and folders using an Root File Explorer
- The .apk and other files have permission - rw- r-- r--
-The Folders have the permission - rwx r-x r-x
Here is the way to get the Floating Message Toggle-
Download And Install a System apps Database Editor - I have used the SQLite Editor Application
Open the apps section in it and search for Settings Storage
Then Open the settings.db a database in Settings storage
Next select the Option System
Now Search For the like - notification app list
Click the Edit option - Now a new window will pop up saying Name & Values
Add this Line in values-
FloatingMessages;
Now Save it, Exit the Application & Do a reboot
Screenshots And More Information
Screenshots with comparison have been provided in the Attachment. Please see there.
The 1st Picture Shows the toggle, 2nd Shows the Samsung Floating/Air Message, and 3rd shows lollipop heads up notification for comparison purpose.
Status
Version: v1.0
Working Status: Working No Bugs
Note
- If you face any sort of Boot loop, you must not blame me, as you yourself decided to Flash/Install this feature, I have no responsibility
- But If you face any sort of problem, you can mention it here, so others and I can help you solve it
- Please don't try to make complains/threats that I have copied this thread, because I have not, I have Recompiled and made the Settings and Ported feature form other Samsung 5.1.1 Devices
- I assure you that this is tested by me on 2 Devices with aapav01 Motion ROM Beta v16.8 And Siemens92 Motion ROM(Modded) v1.3.1 And its working
- There is an early Floating Message available under this section but please don't start comparing this with that because its not that and is completely different
- I don't support copying and You are not allowed to copy my work without permission, If you want to use if please PM me.

No need to provide seperate zip files, you can easily extract them from the apk. Here are the steps :
Download the apk file.
Download any root explorer of your choice.( I prefer ES File Explorer)
Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.
Now you will find the bootanimation.zip file in assets/bootanimation folder.
Now go to the root folder and navigate through system>media. Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart.

Dunno what im doing wrong but even setting the permissions for the zip file is not working in CRDroid.. i haven't tried any other rom tho.
Well to be honest it actually changed but to something completely stock?... dunno how to call it but it just says "Android" and it lights up a bit , doesn't say crdroid anymore but i also didn't get the watchdog boot animation i wanted.
EDIT: Lol my bad was missing a letter faceplam~ , ok now ... is there a way to make it use the whole screen? Right now it doesn't . Thanks in advance

Well the redmi note 4 of course and i said CRDroid on my comment. Maybe there is something bad related with the rom there cuz i always had trouble to change the bootanimation on crdroid...
I did it manually and only that way it worked but it looks weird since it doesn't take the whole screen , then i took a look to the images inside the boot animation zip and i can see they are 768 x 1280px.
So i was gonna extract the images and increase their size to Full HD Res with photoshop and batch processing, but do you think it will work? should i change the desc tex file too?
Because it has the 768 x 1280px written there too and there a "30" next to it ( which i guess is the frames per second for the boot animation? lol).
Thanks in advance
