Not real sure if this is the right forum or not but here goes:
I'm running Aloysius V12 and found some icons by manup in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682040
I flashed the zip and only got maybe half of them to work. I restored and thought maybe i could push the apk...thaat didn't work either. Even tried pulling the png out of the apk and replacing it and had no luck. After pushing individually or with the new png, the app disappears.
What am i missing or is this something that can be done?
Thanksguys
I am going to download the manup icons and try them out. I'll let you know if it works for me.
What ROM were you using?
I was and am still running Aloysius v12. After flashing the icons I got about 5 of them but it screwed up the rest. good luck and let me know.
Thanks
You can use the app, BetterCut to make any image you want, an icon.
Is there a way for non rooted people to replace the icons easily? not using bettercut. an app perhaps?

He is not talking about changing home screen icons, he is talking about changing icon all together. Like what is shown in all apps.
OP, I tried this flash as well and got same results. I tried this a month or so ago.
So I slightly modded framework and twframework
for those not comfortable with mm ( or too lazy ) Im just sharing
main changes are carbon fiber background icons / tray for twframework (most stuff taken form Minimalistic_BattMod ) all thx its creator
Framework
top bar shiny black ( 2 tone)
lock screen colors removed
few icons changed
USB icon changed
bluetooth icon changed
battery changed to monochrome
wifi circle mod icon
maybe other 'light 'changes from Minimalistic_BattMod not mentioned but mostly thats it

make it your self just like stated above , and learn how to use metamporph
I'll start by saying ive went thru all 80+ pages of the widgetlocker theme thread and didn't see this in there anywhere...unless I accidentally missed it.
I am using widgetlocker obviously and would like to have the rotary lock slider that I have seen in the "rotary revamped" screens from the CM mods. Maybe it already exists and Im just not sure where to get it.
Its similar to the stock android rotary slider included with widgetlocker....but more of a solid silver in the middle parts with black borders on the edges.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Nada?

I'm trying to configure the Rotary theme in Widget Locker. But I seem to only be able to configure the first 3 buttons. When I rotate it to configure more, it just keeps rotating all the way around back to the original 3.
Any idea how to configure more than 3?
Can the top bar be made transparent so the desktop wallpaper will show through / behind it?
I have used UOT to set the top bar transparent (#000000 @ 50%) and it does appear transparent on lock screens with some of the wallpaper visible, but when I get to the desktop it goes back to solid black. I use go launcher by default but have also checked out the default launcher from Serendipity 7, both show solid black.
Is there a feature / limit in 2.3.3 roms preventing transparent top bar on the desktop?
Tried getting it to work by using the kitchen before and no luck
I'll make it for you. What ROM/theme/mods do you have installed?
Or could you post your SystemUI.apk?
Sent from my SGH-I897
Here's the stock Serendipity VII SystemUI.apk with a 50% transparent status bar. You should be able to use this with the UOT kitchen if you want to change anything, although I've never used it so I'm not completely sure.
take your pick -> APK or CWM zip
thanks for the offer. Here's my systemui file.

Here you go, black, 50% transparent:
APK or CWM zip
No dice. I do have the transparent bar on lock screen, but it still goes solid black on desktop. Would I be better off trying to put a semi trans image for the bar in framework-res.apk? (if that would be the correct place) I have an image file in mind matching my dock bar but it would need to be resized and flipped 180.
Could you assist there as well?

That would be my guess. I edited the .png as black in framework-res.apk and it's always black, no matter what screen. So I guess making that image transparent would be your best bet.
The file is called "statusbar_background.9.png", in framework-res/drawable-hdpi.
Just edit the file and open apk with a zip program then simply drag it back in.

I don't know why that last one didn't work. I put it on my phone and it worked perfectly. Framework-res shouldn't do anything, but then I also thought the last one worked, so I guess it'd be worth a try.
I'm now thinking it's an issue with your launcher, but I don't see how. You've really got me stumped here. Sorry I can't help you further.

Hi Everybody, This post is for two reasons:
I wanted to post all the mods / hacks that I've made for the Tiamat Moray Rom in one place, instead of on random comments.
I've made a theme for my Xoom, to remove the blue glow that exists on a lot of the stock Honeycomb elements in the main interface.
Here's what I've accomplished so far for the theme. Click on a picture to enlarge:
What I've Done:
replaced the back / home / multitask / options icons on the navigation bar, the Wifi / Battery icons in the notification area, and the Apps / + icons on the top right of the launcher, with the icons from the GalaxyTab 10.1 Touchwiz UX Theme. They are all very similar to the stock icons, but don't have a glow effect on them. (See pic #1).
changed the clock colour in the main navigation bar to a grey, to match the new navigation icons.
removed the blue glow & outlines from the popups around the notification area. Also, removed the transparency in these popups, and recoloured the top one a dark grey/black combo. (See pics #2 - normal, #3 - pressed, and #4 - quick settings).
removed the blue glow & outline from the program tiles in the multitasking popup. (See pic #5).
replaced the settings background, where there used to be a blue glow, with a single-colour image in dark grey (see pic #6). This also had the unintended but pleasant side effect of replacing the background on the browser bookmarks window (see pic #7) , and in some programs like File Manager HD (see pic #8). I guess they all use the same image that I changed in the framework-res.apk file.
replaced the calendar background, from white with the two blue glowing ellipses, to a subtle white to grey gradient. (See pic #9).
"solidified" the clock font on the quick settings menus and lockscreen, to remove the semi-transparent two-toned effect. (See pic #10)
removed the blue glow from the inactive tabs in the browser. (See pic #11)
Downloads (Themes for Tiamat Moray 2.2.2):
Here are CWM flashable zip files. They all edit the same files, so do NOT flash more than one of these at a time, expecting it to work.
Stock Battery and Wifi Icons - Replaces the custom Battery and Wifi icons in the Moray Rom, with stock honeycomb icons. This is 100% compatible with Moray as the System and Framework files were taken from Moray and the battery/wifi images were replaced. Nothing else has been edited, so your Xoom will still look 100% Honeycomb.
My Theme - This is my theme. If you do not want the clock font changed, open the zip file, and delete the system/fonts/ folder. Do not delete any of the apk files in any other folder.
Restore to Stock Tiamat Theme - This is a restore package, in case you want to go back to the stock Tiamat Moray theme. It contains original versions of the files I changed in my theme, so that you don't have to flash the entire Rom over again.
Downloads (Mods / Fixes / Other):
Here are CWM flashable zip files, that contain each of the Mods.
GMail fix - The GMail.apk file from the old Tiamat MantaRay rom. It fixes a force close problem that some users get when multiple GMail accounts are in use on Hammerhead 2.1 or Moray 2.2, it is unnecessary on Moray 2.2.1/2.2.2.
Alarm Clock fix - The DeskClock.apk file from the Asus Transformer. It fixes a force close problem that some users get when turning on an alarm via the check mark in Moray 2.2. As a bonus, it also installs a very minimalist date widget that you may choose to use, or not.
Arial Clock Fonts - Changes the clock font for the lockscreen / notification area / settings popup to an Arial font, similar to Touchwiz UX on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Blue Striped Wallpaper - The background wallpaper in the preview pics above.
I would like to give a huge thanks to Bazar6 over on Xoom Forums for his tutorial "How To Theme Your Xoom" - without it, I would not have been able to do any of this! I would also like to thank the Tiamat team for making such an awesome Rom!
Suggestions are always welcome. If you can think of any other changes I can make, let me know.
Thanks!
MasterSlacker.
i go to try it, looks good.
Nicely done. I was never fond of the blue glow.

Will these work with 2.2.1? Thought I would check first.

I did it based off of the 2.2 Rom. Give me a day or so, and I'll update it to 2.2.1 - I just need to figure out which of the files changed from 2.2 to 2.2.1, and I'll need to update my own Xoom to 2.2.1 as well
Cool! Will give it a test go. Without having a glow it looks like it might possibly sport a cleaner look than before with the glow. Let's see how I like it. I'm curretnyl using the Galaxy theme already so it should be just fine.
EDIT: I just installed the theme: It's not bad, so far I like it. I think I will keep it for now. Nice work so far.
Alright, updated the theme for Moray 2.2.1 - files in the first post.
Thanks so much. This link is now added to "my favorites"
Great work, thanks!
Edit: I cant add live wallpapers. Just me?

I use ADW, but cleared defualts and can't add them from Stock launcher either. I only flashed Arcterus kernel. And 2.2.1 first.
I do use Honeybar and virtual bar. And wallpaper wizardry
Wow. I was sold on the stargate theme but this is gorgeous. As I want 2.2.1 might use your theme with widgets etc from stargate so I get best of both ;-)

Flashed back to stock 2.2.1 and can add lwp now. Going to flash this again and see.
Edit: Don't know. Works now. Nvm disregard. Thanks!

Glad you got it all working ... whatever you did
really nice work, MS, thanks for sharing your theme... had been using the ported touchwoz theme,but this is simpler and I like it better... tried replacing the clock fonts (renamed yours with .old and copied mine, based on ubuntu) and got thrown into a bootloop from which I couldn't recover without reflashing moray entirely - any ideas what might have caused that?

Thanks for the suggestion, but to be honest, half of that went right over my head. It's been so long since I was in the software development industry.
Right now, I've only been editing png images. I've tried editing XML files, but for the life of me I can't get it to work. So what I've done to make it easier for me in the future, is to have a directory tree of all my edited images, in each respective folder, of each apk file. That way, if and when you release a new rom, I can just open the apk files from the rom download, and copy my edited pngs directly into it.
Also, my "mods" aren't really modifications to the way the rom works - I just did some experimenting with alternate GMail and DeskClock apks, and the force closes that I got on Hammerhead and Moray 2.2 stopped.
I hope this makes sense. I definitely appreciate all the work that you and the rest of the Tiamat team have put into this amazing Rom for the Xoom!
Downloading now...Thanks
