[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] Make your own watchface theme!

Im going to explane to you how i did my own theme! inspired on the moto 360 themes! i hope you all come here and post your own Themes for us to try! Lets work your design skills!
Here is mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2756348&d=1400714266
ALL YOU NEED:
- rooted device
- explorer with root access (i use root explorer but any would do just fine)
- a zip program on your computer (i use winrar but 7zip is great to)
TUTORIAL
1 - buy and install the watchwidget app from the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.vaggan.watchwidgets
2 - using root explorer go to data/app folder on the root of your android and search for the app and copy the .apk file to any folder on your SD cart (so that you can copy it to your computer)
3 - Copy the apk file to your computer
4 - rename the file to *.zip at the end (ex: widget.zip)
5 - open the zip and open the folder red \ drawable-nodpi (IMPORTANT: Don't export the apk otherwise you will need to recompile
6 - search for images you like (i used the offline pointers) and move them to your desktop
7 - edit the PNG file with Photoshop without changing the file name (THIS IS IMPORTANT - DONT CHANGE THE PNG NAME)
8 - save it as png again and move it back into the zip file on the correct folder - red \ drawable-nodpi
9 - change the ZIP file name back to .APK again (ex: widget.apk)
10- Move it to your phone to any folder
11- uninstal the original application from your phone
12 - using the root explorer copy the new file from your sd card into the folder System/app ***
13 - restart your phone and place the widget on the SW2 like you usualy do (in my case the offline analog)
For the background of the watch just make a normal backgroud image
*** if you try to instal the apk file it wont work
WORKARROUND WITHOUT ROOT**** thanks to naheel azawy
-First backup the apk with app like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...up.smscontacts
-Move the apk to your pc and do the same as step 4 up to step 9
-Copy it again to your phone
-Install this app on your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ood.zipsigner2
-Choose the apk and sign it
-Uninstall the original app
-Install the new one
-Enjoy
YOU CAN ALSO change the fonts of the watchwidgets by copying the new ttf file to the folder "assets/fonts" but you need to change the name of the new file for an existing one otherwise it wont apear on the list.
DON'T SHARE YOUR APK FILE, SHARE THE .PNG ONLY - because the creator of the app has its own rights
GOOD LUCK, hit that THANKS BUTTON and SHARE YOUR WATCHES WITH EVERY ONE HERE!

here is my own watch for everyone!
All the points are downthere! but as they are white you cant realy see them! so just click on the rigth side of the black image.

change.

wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :

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

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

Boot animation not working

I made a boot animation, and tried installing it using various methods. First I copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media. Phone booted fine, but it only showed the Google boot logo (not my animation). I also tried copying it to /data/local, same results. I tried making a flashable zip, but when I tried flashing it in CWM it just said "Installing update… Installation aborted." I have also tried flashing the same animation on the Moto G with same methods, and same results.
What am I doing wrong?

Did you make the zip without compression? It can't be compressed.

Yes, I used the Keka app for Mac and set it to Store (no compression). I might try some other compression apps.

I guess you didn't sign your zip file.
I always use the same structure for my boot animation so here are the differences with yours. Some of them don't matter though.
1. Into your zip, you have a folder bootanimation => you should directly have your partX folders and desc.txt
2. What is .DS_Store?
3. Naming:
part0 => 000.png / 001.png / 002.png....
part1 => 003.png / 004.png / 005.png....
4. desc.txt:
Code:
1080 1920 15
p 1 5 android
p 0 0 part1
Replace "android" by "part0"
BTW the second number is the delay between loops (in milliseconds) so "5" seems useless.

Thanks for the feedback! I tried changing the structure of the zip file as you suggested, same results. DS_Store is an annoying hidden file Mac OS makes, I deleted it. I also changed the desc.txt. Still not working.
Would signing the zip make a difference?

The bootanimation.zip shouldn't be signed. Upload your new version and I'll have a look on my phone.

Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/df7v0u1niexpvcd/bootanimation.zip?dl=1
It works now on my phone. I removed several png files (for testing purpose) because I resized them to 1080x1920.
I also changed desc.txt and removed DS_store file.
Copy this zip file into /system/media/ with 0644. Reboot.

The I'd is just to identify the font in the itheme app. Just put any 3 digit number but don't repeat the same for the next font that's all.
