Ginger DX = Framework-res.apk - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys over XDA's...is ginger-DX cant be edited framework-res.apk like xml's and png?...and metamorphing caught me to a boot loop??,,,any ideas?

You can to decompile framework-res.apk using apktool or apkmanager

GingerDx uses T-mobile theme. Download one of them and if you want to edit the default framework what you have to theme is not the usual framework-res.apk but the SystemUi (or something like that) app in system/app. Then you push back the modified app to system/app. You can use apktool to modify the theme.

In that case, just install and apply that theme,then go to gingerdx setting to set the statusbar transparency to theme and reboot
Not all launcher can have transparent statusbar,
If you're using launcher pro,you should use live wallpaper to get the transparent statusbar
I suggest you use zeam launcher

i am talking bout editing the framework-res..whr did u go to?

Sorry,thought you only need transparent statusbar
Just like i've said before,you can use apktool to decompile framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
You need java installed on your pc first
But gingerdx already have a feature for transparent statusbar
I've tried it and it works,but i found a lil bug on date when pull down the statusbar

You paste them into the drawables folder in the framework-res. After you are done copy the framework to the CM ROM in system/framework and resign the update. Then you can apply it in recovery.
EDIT: This is only for the graphics that are in framework-res. Some are in the Launcher.apk and the individual icons are stored in each individual apk in system/app
Just copy and paste.

[Q] Cm7 status bar mod

Hi. I wanna ask if is it possible to change the clock font on the statusbar cm7. And I'm currently on squadzone cm7 RC5.7. I have a question. Is it the framework problem or something's else cause when I use tickle my android, the decompile and the recompile was sucess. And when I push it in I got a bootloop. Can anyone help me?
Well the easiest way to change font is to rename your desired font to the one used by the clock (mostly "Clockopia") and replace it by pushing to System/fonts and set permissions

If you have a bootloop, that's because you've got something wrong with your framework-res.apk. I'm guessing that you recompiled it but didn't prepare it. You have to prepare system files or they just won't work.
That said, decompiling files isn't the way to change your clock font. Tickle My Android does have an option for changing the clock font in the modifying menu, although I can't guarantee that it'll work on your CM7. If it doesn't, the best way is to look in /system/fonts and start replacing fonts. Hopefully, the font you need will have a fairly obvious name..

I did prepare system files but sometimes when I wanted to push it in, it says write only file system. How can I change it? And for the clock I've changed clokopia and one more I guess it's called honeycombAndroidClock.tff but all they change was only the lockscreen clock

Okay. I've downloaded rom toolbox pro and I tried to change my batt icon to ics with percentage. When I done install nothing happens. After a reboot, still nothing happens. Is this the right way to download it?

For changing battery and stuff its easier to use UOT Kitchen
I know uot kitchen is the best but I'm already on a ics rom. All I want is to change the batt icon. When I upload the framework and systemUI I got shtf file. All I can do is uploading the theme chooser theme. Unless I could find a theme chooser theme which it is pure and not modded before.

Hmm.. Tell you what, if you can share your files on the Tickle My Android thread, I can make this mod for you.
I can even take a look at changing your clock font. I'll just need to know what fonts you have in your Rom.

[GUIDE]How to make status bar transparent

You need to have these things first :
1- Root
2- Deodexed ROM
3- PC (with JAVA installed)
4- Any apk decompiler (apktool, apk-multitool, etc..)
How to :-
1- Copy SystemUI.apk from /system/app/ to your sd card via any root browser.
2- transfer SystemUI.apk to your computer.
3- Decompile SystemUI.apk.
4- Open res\layout\status_bar.xml
5- There you will see a value like android:background=FF000000
6- To make it translucent type 5F000000 instead of FF000000 or to make it full transparent type 000000
Enjoy and if any questions plz ask here.. .

Ok, this guide needs to be elaborated... :angel:
I did the same, and following was output:
1. Even while changing background to 5f000000, background became full transparent.
2. Whenever i open an app, status bar becomes black again(opaque)
3. During media scanning also status bar looses transparency!
This means status bar is only transparent when on homescreen!
I'm attaching images which i tried on jelly blast rom and also the modded systemui.apk (of Jelly Blast rom) if anyone wants to try. Just rename the file to systemui.apk and put in system/app, change permissions and reboot. you will face lots of force close messages but don't worry after reboot it'll be fine!:good:

bro you don't have to edit drawer.xml but statusbar.xml -.-
And this guide is small and easy one for those who don't want to all the long fuss!
so you will get transparent status bar only when on homescreen or pulling the notification panel down
And I you want permanent transparency then you must search other guides or if they are not there then I will try to make it when I would get time
i think that I should mod the launcher so that it will have permanent trans. but I don't know how, if its ok with to make a tut it will be a big help for me

This guide is correct. Just make it sure that you paste this value "#00000000" or "#ff000000"
android:background="#00000000" or android:background="#ff000000"
Thanks!

I didn't see some mod like this.
However i remeber that there is an user that edited the systemui.apk for this..
If you want do this, you have to decompile the apk, change the layout on the xml, change the png you want and recompile.
Isn't so simple

[Request] Change icon pack for any theme in theme store?

There are a few decent themes in Samsungs store. However, the icon packs are horrendous. Nova launcher hides them in some places but not others, like the share menus.
Does anyone know how to flash the material icons over any theme?
Edit: Also, how about the wallpaper for settings and dialers?
Thanks for any help [emoji2]

You would need apktool to compile the icons into the actual theme. However, if you want to just remove the icons and have them stock, you can try this:
-Edit /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson/THEMENAME.json and remove the line for "appicon", then delete the corresponding folder from /data/app/THEMENAME.appicon-1. If you want to remove the icons from the lockscreen, you will need to do the same for the "lock" line/file.
