It's in there. I am not at my computer at the moment, but will tell you the png to change later, when i get home. If I do remember right it's in the drawable folder, not drawable-hdpi..

def. do not see it in the drawable folder, there is one in drawable-hdpi, drawable-hdpi-v9, drawable-mdpi, drawable-mdpi-v9. All of which have been changed :-(. I appreciate any other suggestions you can offer. This is a fairly straight forward image swap right?

Yeah found that one and swapped it out. Named the old one stat_notify_email(old).png and the new one stat_notify_email.png. No change to my notification icon.
I was being dumb and not flashing the apk in recovery. Got it done now, here is my new gmail notification. Thank you for your help and patience.

For future reference...
If the gmail apk updates. Like you actually accept a new update from the market, the icon will change back to original. At that point you need to modify the gmail apk that will be in the data/app folder

I've run into a problem. I went into data/app and changed the gmail apk extension to .zip and then I replaced the notification image png file in the drawable xhdpi folder (I have Galaxy S3), rebooted into CWM Recovery and tried flashing in the gmail.zip folder that I edited but got an installation aborted error. I then rebooted and just tried pasting this gmail.zip folder into data/app but changed extension back to .apk yet the app wouldnt install. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Was wondering if anyone had instructions as to how to do this? Had a search through the forum, but didnt find much on it
Any Help is appreciated
Many Thanks

If you install this app you have a folder called "com.kanokgems.smswidget"
which you can find at you sd-card/data.
Then just place your images in the sms unread folder in the data folder on your sd card, it will show up under custom images from SMSUnread settings menu
Nice screen
This method works in that it shows the image I've created to be used in Desktop Visualizer. The problem I am coming up with is when the image shows up on the screen it is much smaller than what it would normally show up.
It's a 1x2 size image.
Any ideas? Stretching it on the screen hasn't worked.
^^ Make the icon bigger in the first place? instead of trying to stetch it out later.
Is the email icon really only limited to gmail? I have 2 accounts i check frequently... neither of which are gmail lol!

Adb pull the app (uninstall it after), open with winrar, mod the apk with your own icons, you can either mod the assets folder or Res/drawable-hdpi/mdpi holder. Use 48x48 or 72x72 icons. Sign the apk. Install it normally. You can do all this using apk manager.

This man and many others people on XDA-forum editing TouchWiz app. Original homescreen by Samsung. They are changing icons, adding backgrounds etc etc. Please could anyone help me or anyone know how to do that? This app - TouchWiz30Launcher.apk - is in system/apps. How or in which program I could edit for example icons or add new dock to bottom? Anybody know?
Please for all. Could anyone help me with this?
ok first you have to be on jpy firmware then you have to take the twlauncher30.apk from the thread you referenced and you need to be rooted an use root explorer to install to your phone by backing up the existing .apk and .odex (rename see instructions in other thread) and then overwritting it with the one from that thread.
the one from that thread is de-odexed so you can edit the .png (icons) using microsoft photo editor or something else and then replace the .png directly in the .apk file with 7zip.. then you can put modified .apk on phone in sameway..
here is my modified version with a modified "bender" launcher icon

Ok i learned this now but where I can change norification bar? In which app? Also in TouchWiz30Launcher.apk?
notification bar is in framwork-res.apk in system/framework..
same method using 7zip to change icons and then put back on phone with root explorer.. after putting back on phone stuff will start crashing and you should reboot.. (may need to pull battery).. make sure you have backups of originals.
notification pulldowns (not the bar) are much more comlicated and you have to change .jar files in the system as well.
Many thanks =) Changing icons in notification bar looks quite hard Is there any easier method?
what i did is find some other rom or custom rom you like and get the framwork-res.apk from that (you know you can just unzip the .apk and then use windows explorer to browser the directories to see all icons at once)
then you can open your framework-res with 7zip and the one with icons you like in another instance of 7zip and then just cut and past the icons (they need to be the same name... as some have additional icons and that entails decompiling and changing .xml files and recompiling and resigning.. much more complicated)... anyway just cut and paste directly from one 7zip into the other (your modifed framework-res from your curent firmware on your phone) then put it back on your phone.
Hi all
I am theming my CM7 desire ROM, and i am trying to make the pulldown notification backgroud transparent.
In CM6 i change the status_bar_background.png in framework and thats all, but with CM7 seens this trick it's not working
Which png i need to change in CM7 to make the pulldown notification background transparent?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Ugh
I know MicroMod777 used some sort of transparency effect on his AOSP gingerbread build and provided a flashable zip file for it but It's no longer there. I can't seem to find it on my hard drive either.
Not sure if it would work with CM7 though...It SHOULD have but I guess we'll never know now
I'll keep looking around and try to find it on the forums.

have try that to but dont work.. is it nobody that know?
to make it transparent, the file is shade_bg in systemui.apk
How about status_bar_background.9.png in systemui/res/drawable-hdpi?
I'm not sure what you're trying to make transparent but here's a list of items and what images to edit.
Pull down background, what the notifications sit on top of. Systemui.apk /drawablehdpi/shade_bg
Notification pull down bar, the thing that typically has the grips and slides to the bottom of the screen. Systemui.apk /drawablehdpi/shade_handlebar.9 & status_bar_close_on.9
Where the carrier logo appears, Systemui.apk /drawablehdpi/title_bar_portrait.9
Status bar, Systemui.apk /drawablehdpi/statusbar_background.9
Hope this helps if not let me know exactly what you want transparent I'm sure I can help.
thanks that helped with my heroc rom
Is it possible to change the transparency with an actual picture?

Search for Meizu CM7 theme he has the tutorial and patches.
The files are supposed to be pulled from your rims zip file. The search function helps after you extract the zip.
Not sure it can be done on sense rom...

Not sure what you mean. You decompile the whole apk with that in it. Then you edit it without messing up the .9 image. Then recompile it.

When I use Apk Manager and go to Decompile with dependencies, I select SystemUI.apk first, then I drag and drop Framework-res.apk into the Cmd, but I get error "Sorry that's not the dependee apk, try again."

anyways any help with this is greatly appreciated.

examine the log of your recompiling tool
most probably you have some faulty .9 pngs in your theme that can't be recompiled unless fixed (even if you haven't edeited them now)
ok i now have successfully recompiled and fully edited the SystemUI.apk
but now i'm getting new errors when editing the framework part (to get notification text title, description etc. in white)
i checked for faulty images, none at all so it's not the images.... i ran the error log couldn't make sense of it apparently it's some xml's and NOT the ones i edited.
Anyone?

Have you made sure that every edit you made including adding images you delete from the keep folder when recompiling? I have found that when recompiling it looks to make sure every xml and image points to its proper place, so for instance i was adding pulldown toggles and it kept erroring out, it was because in statusbarexpanded.xml the image file pointing to the image was wrong and thats what was throwing the errors. I downloaded your framework-res i will check it out. Just make sure every XML edit points to proper item and if you chnage images im apk-manager make swure you delete the ones you overwrite in the keep file. Also are you using the newest apk_manager now called apk multi-tool beta 2? I find i get way less errors when using the new one. Also are you familiar with apk-tool and smali/bakmali? Sometimes if you are doing really deep xml edits its better to use that VS apk-manager, if not let me know and i will point you in that direction just to give it a shot. One more thing when you are trying to recompile what does the error log say? Can you post the error log?
