Do you make the icon from scratch, or do you somehow get it off the app, and modify it?

Hi, does anyone know of the way or have a patch to remove the battery icon from the taskbar?
not the best way but you could change alll the stat_sys_battery_xxx pngs in framewrk to transparent. it will leave a gap in the notification bar though.
Yeah, I thought of that or possibly just putting an icon of something else there, but looking for a way of doing it right. Thanks though
Okay, I know now you need to edit the 'services.jar' within the framework folder, but just need to find the right .smali file and then the right line of code.
This guy has done it for the CDMA Hero - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691250&highlight=stock+aosp
Does any experienced guy out there know how to use 'diff' on linux to see what the differences would be between his 'services.jar' and say one from the stock AOSP GSM?
Is there any way to change the icons for the apps and actions in the framework for a Sense rom? Im a rom that is based on the 2.1 Rogers RUU, and I detest the icons that Sense comes with. So I was wondering if there is any way I can change them permanently. So, none of that bettercut stuff.
Thanks!!

I'm not totally sure where you're going with this. In order to change the status-bar icons you need to edit the framework-res.apk. In order to change the icons you need to pull system/framework/framework-res.apk from your phone, decompile the apk and overwrite the icons you want. Compile the .apk, sign it and push it back to your phone.
Since you're mentioning Bettercut I'm not completely sure what you're aiming for, though. If you're talking about the icons linked to the application on the other hand this is what I've got. I'm sure there are alternate ways to do it:
Pull the desired application from your phone and change the icon directly in the res folder.

Sorry, I know I wasn't being completely clear. I wanna change the icons for the applications in the app drawer.
So I have to pull the system/framework/framework-res.apk. Then replace the icons (assuming they have to be the same resolution?). Compile the apk (how would I do this?) and then push it back to system/framework/ ?

No, the framework is not linked to the icons in your app-drawer
I'm not 100 % on this, but you're gonna have to pull the applications you want to edit one by one.
So I was using NinjaMorph to modify my status bar, and I was able to do it. However, after I changed how it looks, there was one problem. At both ends of the screen, it fades to black, instead of staying the color I want it to be. I can't figure out what I did wrong, or didn't edit correctly to get it to work right.
I have a Motorola Cliq 2, and I was modifying SystemUI.apk, if any of that makes a difference.
Picture attached is what my problem is.
If the only way to fix this is by actually learning how to theme, I'd be willing to learn, I just figured if I could do it this way, it'd be easier.
HI FOLKS, i've been diving all over the forum/thread/post but i didn't find any solution according to my question ONLY one i need to ask.
HOW can i change the background to transparent, e.g MINICM rom.
i have change the background with another picture, but i feel tired with the background itself. and i want to change them to transparent. so it can show the wallpaper.
i have done with editing the *.xml file, looking what need to be change but the result is not satisfied me. it overlay when i open the submenu. so it makes me confuse.
e.g when i open the setting > cyangogenmod setting
it overlay the whole text in settings
so, anyone can teach me how to make the background to be transparent.
** I WON'T USING THEME OR WHATEVER, I WANT BUILD IN TRANSPARENT **
please someone
did i say please?:laugh:
I've used icondy, which will allow me to merge icon packs. I've also used apps that will pull the icons out of a theme and save them as individual graphic files (Themex for instance). I've found some directions on how to create an icon pack. What I'm thinking is:
1. Why isn't there an android app that will pull the icons out of a theme and create a separate icon pack? The theme has all the info needed to properly identify and set up which icons are used for what. NOTE: if this is considered unacceptable and stealing, never mind then.
2. Why isn't there an android app that will let you create an icon pack? I may not understand the process correctly but it appears you have to identify the icon properly and possibly have more than one dpi version, but that seems like something an app could actually handle. You would just need to have the PNG files and then select them as needed for the icon pack and it gets created with the necessary permissions and so on.
Thanks for anyone who can assist, or at least explain why it's not possible to have an app do all or any of the above.
