I have always loved the extended settings Andy Thomoson has made for MIUI (found here), especially the carrier logo's in the statusbar
Well, I have been messing around with the SystemUI.apk from the latest 2.3.7 OTA for the NS4G and made it accessible for that stock ROM. I'll make one for BuglessPete's GPA17 and maybe CM soon.
I'm pretty sure this option has been around for a while but it really is a cool mod and wanted to revive it.
Here is an example of what it looks like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The logo can be a lot of things.. Here is a good thread for some carrier logos
So here is the one I showed in the pic: download here
^^That zip was built against the 2.3.7 SystemUI.apk for the NS4G.
I will take requests. Also please refer to the second post for a "How-To"
Instructions
1) Flash ZIP in recovery and rebot
2) Download this eri.xml.zip found HERE
3) Extract that eri.xml and copy/paste it to /data
4) Change permissions to "everything"
-looks like this using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer
5) Toggle airplane mode or reboot to see changes
6) Enjoy!!
How To Submit Request
1) Post your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your current ROM
(SystemUI.apk is found in /system/app and /system/framework)
2) Post the carrier logo you want (or give an idea of what you want)
3) Post what ROM your using
If you want any other mods like differnt colors for the clock, date, ticker notifications, pretty much anything in the statusbar letme know and I can do that as well
GUIDE
1) Decompile your SystemUI.apk
2) Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder and goto
res>layout>status_bar.xml
3) Open it with word processor of choice (I prefer Notepad++)
4)Find the line that starts with
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.IconMerger
5) Place your curser right at the beginning of that line, press enter to make a space
6) In the empty line now, copy/paste this line of code
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="@android:color/transparent" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/carrier" android:background="@drawable/carrier_logo" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
7) Save and exit
8) Now goto res>values>ids.xml
9) Open that xml and add this line to the end of the id's (right above the </resources> at the bottom)
Code:
<item type="id" name="carrier">false</item>
10)Save and exit
11) Now take your carrier logo picture you want to use and place it in res>drawable-hdpi and name it "carrier_logo"
12) Now compile your SystemUI, sign it if using apktool and make it into a flashable zip
Here's an empty flashable zip folder structure you can use
DOWNLOAD HERE
Just extract that zip, place your moddified SystemUI.apk in the /system/app folder, then select both the system and META-INF folder and zip em up
EDIT: 2-13-12
I changed the code for the carrier logo to hopefully get rid of overlapping text with carrier logo

Ok I attached a zip you can flash in recovery. Everything decompiled/recompiled fine with no errors.
I also attached the SystemUI.apk by itself in case the zip doesn't work, try moving the SystemUI.apk to /system/app/ and change permissions to rw-r--r--
@melvinchng
Attached is the modded SystemUI in a flashable zip and standalone apk
Just a quick reminder, don't forget to follow the instructions in the OP especially when it comes to the eri.xml to get rid of the double logo
Thank you very much, Fergie, but the mod don't work...
The ZIP file give me an error on flash in recovery and the sistem-ui make disappear the status bar...
Where is the error???
Sorry sorry

It should work
Try toggling zip verification in recovery when flashing the zip
if copy/pasting the apk by itself, you have to change permissions of the new SystemUI.apk to rw-r--r--
Or you can use adb to push it to /system/app/ then go into adb shell and run
Code:
su
fix_permissions

Update 1/10 Minor update to some, maybe major to others, I've made some changes to the status bar pull down for Ascend users, I've changed the main text to be black, I'm still not completely happy with it, so i'll keep tweaking... Also, I've added support for HDPI devices in the Gingerbread3.5.zip, in general the theme should work on a wider variety of devices.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Update 1/9 The theme is pretty much complete
In order for Ascend users to get the white clock you need to download buildprop and replace the one under your system folder with it. You'll have to be rooted and use a file manager or you could use adb shell or a terminal to replace your build.prop
Another change to the build.prop for the popups!!!
Special thanks to yuyuye for the information.
I've attached some screenshots of the theme in action. There are many more changes not visible in the screenshots, the majority of the framework-res have been updated to match the new theme.
UPDATE 12/16
I've attached the metamorph theme in case anyone wants to try it, i would say it's beta quality as it's not finished, but it's usable. Just load the v0.1.zip file on to your sdcard, download metamorph and install away. If you have any basic questions, feel free to ask but I won't be providing an major support yet because it's not finished. I would say it's 75% complete at the most. And as always, you shouldn't have any problems but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
UPDATE 12/22
New version v0.3 with a change to the submenu, I changed the submenu to white so the text is legible until i can get the Ascend deodexed and properly change the color of the text...
The download labeled GingerbreadAscend3.zip is may specifically for the Ascend I don't recommend anyone apply it on any other phones
The download labeled Gingerbread3.zip is for any and all MDPI phones
Have fun!!!

http://min.us/mvk9WPS
Insrtuctions for installation:This is a Metamorph theme, so download and install Metamorph. Put the theme on your sdcard. Make sure your phone is rooted, you have busbox downloaded and installed and that usb debugging is turned on
For Ascend users, download your appropriate build.prop file and use a program like root explorer or subfs to copy and paste it into the /system/ directory, if you don't want to purchase one of those programs, download this program from the market "Mount /system (rw / ro)" open it and mount the system as r/w then use adb shell or a terminal emulator to copy the file over
Code:

I am no longer supporting this theme, I'm moving on to bigger and better. Happy themeing!!!!
Made a little progress using apk manager to decompile some of the xmls, got the date to show up white but still not the time and popup option menus(not sure what to call them). If anyone has any expertise, I could use the help....

Thanks, but problem is I don't have a "values" folder in my framework, much less an xml called "style" in any of the folders...
wait..
I'm an idiot... found it
It wasn't re-compiling the whole framework for me either, i had to to trick it to get it to re-compile the styles.xml by putting it in a different folder and renaming it... Flashed it to my phone.... and... no difference, pulled the framework back down and made sure the changes where present and they are... the Ascend doesn't seem to use those files at all... I'm pretty sure too because i accidentally deleted all the files in the values folder except the styles.xml and the phone works fine...
Thanks for your ideas Benny879, if you have any insight as to whats going on, I'd appreciate any help you could give, in the mean time i'm going to be pouring through these xml files, looking for any clues...
For anyone following the progress on this, the problem seems to be that this phone uses odex files instead of the more easily assessable jar or apks, so I'm looking into deodexing the necessary files... If anyone could offer assistance, I would appreciate it...

The gingerbread metamorph theme I'm working on will change your lock screen sliders, your notification bar and slide down, your dialog confirmation buttons, market place tab button and a bunch of other misc graphics, your signal bars, battery, bluetooth, etc... The theme i'm working on doesn't touch the launcher. i personally use launcher pro, so this theme doesn't conflict with it, but if you want your launcher specifically to look like gingerbread's, you can find themes already made for launcher pro..

Hey guys, I really like the holo theme of ICS/JB, but really hate that Google has not yet themed the orange GB parts of the framework... it's certainly an eyesore, even with some apps that use holo theme, there's some orange GB parts remaining.
This theme, changes the colour of remaining GB parts to blue holo style. I've tried to achieve the holo style as far as I could. :fingers-crossed:
Here are some screen shots:

Flashing:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash.
NOTE: It will automatically wipe your cache and dalvik cache.
3. ????
4. Profit!

just heads up you have SDK these are located in SDK/platform/android-15/data/res with the res of the framework
also if you use apktools when you decompile the apk it will automatically put the lines in for you
also if you decompile any apk with apktools it will add the lines to .9 files automatically

After i do the lines i used xUltimate-d9pc from command prompt in windows
then you are all set
if you want i can do. If you have the the lines it will take just a sec for xUltimate to fix

I used apktool. decompiled the framework, edited png's with Photoshop, and when tried to compile, got ****load of errors. Those errors happen when you remove a PNG and don't remove the line for in public.xml, which is weird because I didn't remove anything. Just edited them.
Thanks for your help, I will send you the png's, I think I'll redo them, was not exactly satisfied with the ones I recreated, and will try to make it more ICS/JB style, not just recolored GB. Also I think I messed up some of those lines in .9.png files... But I am not home tomorrow and probably the day after tomorrow. But I'll jump on it as soon as I can and will send you the PNG's, if I couldn't get apktool to work.

So friends, here is a quick and easy guide for changing the status bar icons of your s5830i(Actually any phone )
For those who don't know how to do it(for anyone actually :highfive
Theory
Android is the awesome platform which is easily configurable and is able of being edited very easily
The icons used in every app and Android framework are located as png images in apk of those respective apps in location:-
*.apk/res/drawable-mdpi (in our case, as our phone is mdpi)
So, we can change any icon of our status bar like battery, signal, (not clock[clock is to be configures in SystemUI.apk{will post how to change it shortly}]), etc by editing png's in framework-res.apk
Not even that, you can edit images of any app as I told you
There are several ways to decompile and compile apk in which we have made change
If we want full access of apk and want to change every thing like the xml's in it and smali content in jar files, then we would have to do it on computer by apktool or apkmanager
But, we are here to only change image, so we would not go in detail of apktool or apkmanager. For changing images, that can be very easily done even on the phone by an app NinjaMorph that is made for developers by our senior head and DEVELOPING LEGEND Stephen(Stericson)
But be careful as backing up the original file if you do something wrong
And as you all know any developer or even a newbie posting something interesting that you want to try WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for your mobile blowing up, resting in peace, sleeping like a dead, behaving like a non-living BRICK, or anything whatsoever that may or may not happen to phone in this universe or any other universe known or unknown
What to do if anything happened to my mobile
We have had a backup of your original file so we can restore it
But if while editing the system files like framework-res.apk
If you deleted some un-backed up apk's
Well you can always have backup of your ROM and that is why Koushik Datta has made clockworkmod Recovery
You can restore your ROM from there

Root access(to change the apk)
NinjaMorph(http://bit.ly/ninjamorph)
Root Explorer(Optional)(http://bit.ly/stericson)
GUIDE
So Let's Start
Download NinjaMorph. Install it and give it root access. It will prompt for starting checks. Click on start checks.
Now you would have three options, namely, New Project, Finish Project, Existing Project
Click on new project. Go to system/framework/ and click on framework-res.apk. It will start extracting files
Once it has extracted all the files, it will open to show you what is inside framework-res.apk.
Exit it and go to your file explorer.
Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk
This is what is inside apk. Go to res/drawable-mdpi folder
There you will see hundreds of icons of your menu, lockscreen, battery, signal, and everything
You can edit them and replace them as you want. But the name of the file you are replacing and size and dimension must be equal to the file you are replacing with(I recommend Googling and finding icons of battery, signal, and other things)[I have even used hdpi icons, there was no problem]
If you download a theme file which is to be flashed in recovery that is not for your phone, no problem, extract the zip and place its framework-res.apk in your sdcard and extract the apk with Ninjamorph. Replace your icons with its icons and TADA
After you have done replacing the icons and you are satisfied(I am never)
Go to NinjaMorph. Click on Fininsh Projects. Click on framework-resapk. It will recompile and ask to replace the original apk with modded one. Click OK
Then it will ask if you want to remove the completed project, Say No(As you would need it if something gets wrong)
Reboot your phone
Maximum chances are that your icons will be replaced. Rare cases have their status bar gone or no change, if so:-
Download(Buy) Root Explorer. Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace,
There you will see framework-res.apk. Copy it and go to /system/framework
Mount as R/W
Paste the apk. If it asks that file already exists, overwrite it.
SET PERMISSIONS
Long click on framework-res.apk and click on permissions
You will see three columns
Read Write Execute
You have to set them in the following way
x means you have to tick it
blank means uncheck
Read Write Execute
.....x........x.................
.....x...........................
.....x...........................
Click OK
You will see it as rw-r--r--
Reboot
Do it over again if nothing happens
Enjoy
This way you can edit not only framework-res.apk but any apk

You should edit Mms.apk
I don't know as I never edited Mms.apk
For colour you should edit xml files
Which won't be accessed by this method
And the code you are asking for
You won't get the xml from this method
So you won't be able to edit it

But in the systemUI.apk don´t have the lidroid's icon. I only found them in lindroid-res.apk.
I tried change the color with ninjamorph, and it´s work. But if I replace an icon, it doesn´t work.

Edited: I was trying replace the png's with the ninjamorph. It was the problem.
Now I replaced the png's with root explorer and all work fine.

How-To change Apps in the S-PEN Shortcuts toolbar
I found, after a long time, a solution for change the Apps in the S-Pen Shortcuts toolbar. The toolbar pops up if you pushed out the S-Pen.
I don´t like and use some Apps like this stupid Game "crayon_physics" or Polaris Office...... first i have delete the Game but how i can get a new App in this Toolbar?!?
Now i have found a solution!!! And i want to teach you how you can do this!!!
First a few Screenshoots before and ofter the modding:
before (without the game):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
after modding:
So .... how can you change the toolbar? I have tested it only on a deodexed ROM!!
What do you need?
any APK Tool Manager for decombile and recombile, like this LINK
a Text Editor like Notepad++ (free)
your SystemUI.apk from your ROM
a cup cake and a coffee :laugh:
First you decombile the SystemUI.apk
Go to the folder systemui\res\values
open the arrays.xml with the Text Editor
Here you find this lines
Code:
com.diotek.mini_penmemo,com.diotek.mini_penmemo.Mini_PenMemo_Service
com.sec.android.app.snotebook,com.infraware.filemanager.FmFileTreeListActivity
com.android.calendar,com.android.calendar.AllInOneActivity
com.acrodea.crayonphysics,com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1,air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
com.infraware.PolarisOfficeStdForTablet,com.infraware.splash.SplashActivity
Now you need the packageName and the className of the App that you want to make in the Toolbar.
An example:
com.acrodea.crayonphysics,com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
packageName = com.acrodea.crayonphysics
className = com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
or
air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1,air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
packageName = air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1
className =com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
Now you can change the packageName & className with your wanted Apps and recombile the SystemUI.apk
Pushed the SystemUI.apk in a flash able ZIP or changed it in your ROM.
Here are a List of Apps that i have allready tested! If you have an other App please post the packageName and the className and i added it on this List!!!
Or install the ClassFinder App
Code:
[B]Contacts[/B]
packageName=com.android.contacts
className=com.android.contacts.activities.DialtactsActivity
or
[B]Contacts[/B]
packageName=com.android.contacts
className=com.android.contacts.activities.PeopleActivity
[B]ChatOn[/B]
packageName=com.sec.chaton
className=com.sec.chaton.HomeActivity
[B]Camera[/B]
packageName=com.sec.android.app.camera
className=com.sec.android.app.camera.Camera
[B]Galerie[/B]
packageName=com.sec.android.gallery3d
className=com.sec.android.gallery3d.app.Gallery
[B]Dropbox[/B]
packageName=com.dropbox.android
className=com.dropbox.android.activity.DropboxBrowser
[B]Youtube[/B]
packageName=com.google.android.youtube
className=com.google.android.youtube.app.honeycomb.Shell$HomeActivity

className=com.android.calendar.AllInOneActivity
[B]PSTouch[/B]
packageName=air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1
className=air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
[B]Contacts[/B]
packageName=com.infraware.PolarisOfficeStdForTablet

I have been looking for something like this.
Now, if we can just get it to be modified, on the fly (as an app and not required to be flashed in recovery), by specifying the apps you want to put in there....THAT will be cool and very, VERY useful.
Thanks for you hard work - appreciated.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly for me. I do get it to work, but then the systeui.apk crashes every few seconds. Do you have an indication of what could go wrong, or at least where do you think a mistake is made?
MAKE SURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!!!
This is my updated method, you will be editing your own SystemUI.apk, so it should work this time.
This method worked for me and I'm using the STOCK SPRINT ROM
What you will need
-Rooted HTC One
-Root Explorer from the Play Store
-7-Zip for windows

Download the corresponding Zip file with the LTE icons that you want.

Now, use the Root Explorer app on your phone and navigate to the System/App folder, now COPY your SystemUI.apk to the SDCard folder.
Now plug your phone in to your computer. I would suggest copying the SystemUI.apk to your Documents folder and keep it as a backup, then copy another one to your Desktop for editing purposes.
Once you have copied one to your desktop, right click on it, and click on 7-Zip -> Open Archive. Navigate to res -> drawable-xxhdpi. Now Unzip the zip file you just downloaded from here, then drag those 4 files to the 7Zip window that you opened up. Click yes to overwrite, wait for the process to finish, then close the window.
Now copy that SystemUI.apk that it's in your desktop (your edited one) and paste it back to your phone's SDCard and overwrite the one that's there.
Now, open Root Explorer App, on the top, click where is says Mount R/W. Scroll down and tap on the sdcard folder. Find the SystemUI.apk, long press it then press copy. After that, press back, then go to the System/App folder. Once again, press the Mount R/W button, if it says Mount R/O then don't press that. Then simply paste the SystemUI.apk and hit yes when it asks you to overwrite it.
SystemUI might crash a lot, don't worry about it.
Scroll down and find the newly upgraded SystemUI.Apk in the System/App folder, long press it and press Permissions.
Now set your permissions like this
X=Checked
O= Unchecked
X----X-----X
X----O----O
X----O----O
After that just Restart your phone!
That's it!

Heres a empty.zip template to flash whatever. Use 7Zip to put your apk in the appropriate folder and flash in recovery. System apps can be a pain copying them over with a file manager.
So, how is this "coming along" seeing as how the customized (well, technically stock) System UI more-or-less will "break" any themes on various ROMs.
I'm using a heavily transparent-focused theme, and presumably since this replaces the original System UI, the icon itself will be there, whereas the rest of the custom icons will then be returned to their original state.

check your PM's and let me know, i have a better way of doing all of this
basically it uses the Vr theme engine to apply the new icons, this means a user need to just flash the zip and it should work with any rom they are running. I haven't tested them extensively, however i did some tests with the wifi icon so i know things are in the right place i just dont have LTE to test currently

Just wondering, the TMo and AT&T icons look fairly similar, or is that just me?
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

they are actually pretty different the AT&T one has a big 4G and it looks almost cartoonish in nature, where as the T-mobile one looks closer to a normal font

Ah I see what you mean. Hard to see the difference when the pictures are fairly small on mobile, not to mention the status bar icons

Also doesn't the Att version have the up/down signals on the upper right corner of the icon as a "wave" or curved lines instead of arrows on the bottom?
