I searched the forums, but couldn't find a thread to mod the soft buttons (bottom left)
So, is there a way which also works with ICS?
Also, is there a way to edit the system.apk in the ultimate online theme kitchen
Thanks in advance

This is something I asked awhile back about Honeycomb, but I was told that because Honeycombs code was never released it couldn't be done, but seeing as how ICS is released, this becomes a relevant question again I think. I'd love to have a semi-transparent nav bar at the bottom.

Download and install ZipThemer from the Market
Download a Softkey Style using the ZipThemer link here and open up ZipThemer on your tablet
If this is the first time using ZipThemer, hit the (hidden) menu key -> Hit "Update Edify" -> Hit "Browse" (pick a file that you have flashed before on your tablet, like your ROM or a theme) -> Hit "Configure" -> Then hit the 'back' softkey to return to the main screen.
Click the "+Theme" button, browse to the download folder and select the .zip you have just downloaded, probably /sdcard/download
Click the "Build It!" button, and when it prompts if you want to make an "undo-zip", click "Always"
You will now see the output screen with the Build Log, check if everything went alright, it will show that a zip file has been created on /sdcard/
Reboot your tablet to Recovery after this and flash the .zip file that is created on /sdcard/
Done! If you experience problems or want to undo the action just flash the "undo-zip" that's also located on /sdcard/

+1 for ZipThemer, its a great tool for this, you can even make your own icons (montone only) by unzipping and inserting new images into the "drawable-xhdpi" folder and re-zipping before using ZipThemer. My Home icon is now a Beer Mug, CHEERS!!

Follow the instuctions so you get the zip file.
Then copy to the computer
Use winrar to open the zip then nav to systemui.apk open again in winrar.
Go into Res folder then rename x-hdpi to mdpi close all and then flash it should work.
I'm out at the moment so will write a better guide tomorrow unless you can get it from that or someone writes a better one.

Q: What would happen if we were to flash this on a non-deodex'ed system? Very bad things?
Edit: Just flashed this on a stock rooted setup. All is well, so far.
Is there a way to get this to work with jt's clean rom? His system is deodexed. :-\

Thanksfor the confirmation, the only real reason I said this was because I used a deodex'ed settings.apk. So I guess it isn't required to be on a deodexed version but I mainly specified it to avoid any possible errors.

I was wondering if you could port over the Blue Minimalism v1.3 Theme for our fascinate that raiderep put together to work on a deodexed rom on the epic this is a must have Frost Remix for us to all have, there are 3 total files of this Blue Minimalism one is the Theme zip its self the other two is a matching lockscreen and Dialer. I will be tester for it as well if you take this on!!
Once again thanks for all the great work you do!!
works great, enjoying it! Would love to see more skinned apps or a quick tutorial on how to skin apps/widgets...not afraid to get my hands dirty

Hi all, this is a copy of my thread for galaxy s2
This guide is split into two parts as of now , part 1 is for changing the settings menu background and part 2 is for changing the backgground for dialer and contacts.
Part -1
may be this method is known to few but im posting this to people who dont know how to change the background image of the settings menu and other few.
Sample screenshots

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Like it?
here is the method to do this.
Software needed :
1.7zip (to replace the image)
2.android sdk(to use adb commands to push/pull the files)
How it works:
We are modifying/replacing an image called "background_holo_dark.png" in the "framework-res.apk" which is responsible for displaying background images in menu.
Step 1:
Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Code:
adb pull system/framework/framework-res.apk
Step 2:
Open the framework-res.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Preparing your own image:
Now use any png image you want to set as background , resize it to 512 x 512 via mspaint or any other image editing software and rename the file to "background_holo_dark.png".
Drag the newly created image file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push the file back to mobile, type the following command in the same command prompt
Code:
adb remount
now type the following
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Part-2
Wanna change the background of the dialer and contacts?? well read below,
Step 1:
Use the adb command (or u can use root explorer) to pull the "Contacts.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Step 2:
Open the Contacts.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"Contacts.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_dial_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Drag the image (similar to the one created in part 1 of the guide) file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push/copy back the file back to mobile. Copy back the file to the same directory from where it is copied.
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Your dialer and contacts shortcut may be missing from your launcher, just drag it back to the homescreen from the app drawer.
Step:5
This step is optional!!! If you do not get those shortcuts, enter cwm and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Sample screenshots.
Note:
For users who know how to use root explorer can use the same to copy/paste the framework-res.apk before and after editing.
Sample images are taken with 160 dpi, this mod will work with all dpi.
Instructions:
1. Download the zip from the download section below and open it in 7zip.
2. Navigate to the following directory "\mode\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\".(Sample images on post 2)
3. Change the images "background_holo_dark.png" and "background_holo_dark.png" as per your wish.
4. Flash it

This sounds like an Awesome guide but I do have one question, will this work on CM7 as cm9 is not out yet for my T-989 SG2? I have looked for the background_holo_dark.png and I'm not seeing it in the frameworks. I've used 7zip and then decompiled but haven't found it. If not, would you happen to have any other guides for cm7 that may do the same thing?..
Thanks,
Derek

How to build apps icon pack:
Things you require:
-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-You will find a lot of icons on XDA.
-Required apps from the ROM which you want to modify.
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any good photo editing tool.(Even the one that comes with MS-Office will do)
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.
-Kindness to press the THANKS button below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps:
1. Download all the things required.
2. Open your ROM and copy all the apps and move them to a seperate folder. Here we will take only 3 apps-Browser, Messaging and Calculator.
{
"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"
}
3. Now extract these apps using 7zip or winrar.
4. Now open the app folder, go to res and find the location where the icon of the app is present. These are generally present in mipmap-hdpi/mdpi/xhdpi/ldpi/xxhdpi or drawable-hdpi/mdpi/xhdpi/ldpi/xxhdpi . For e.g. in my case Browser app it's present in mipmap-hdpi named as ic_launcher_browser.png:
5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->app and make a new folder their with named as appname.apk(Here appname refers to the name of the app). For e.g. Browser.apk in my case.
6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->mipmap-hdpi in my case:
7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. For e.g. ic_launcher_browser.png in my case. And resize it according to your DPI.
Try resizing by percentage if possible.
Also I don't recommend resizing from a lower DPI to a Higher DPI or the icons may seem blur.
8. Do the same for other apps. In my case calculator and messaging.
9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name. You can practically change almost everything under ui_print in updater-script but remember that it should be in the format ui_print("ABCD"); . Here replace ABCD with whatever you like.
10. Now you will be having 4 folders- data, META-INF, system, vrtheme and an image named as preview. Zip all these and rename it to whatever you like and flash it with CWM and you're done! Enjoy your own icon pack Feel free to THANK me :laugh:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Important Tip:-Note the size of the original icon and modify the new icon accordingly or else you may not get any icon or smaller icon. For e.g. sometimes the icon present in the app is of size 96X96 though it is hdpi app. But still change the other icon size also to 96X96 to get best result.

Pretty much anything in the apk can be flashed into it using a vrtheme script.
Any png/.9.png, fonts, resources.arcs, classes.dex whatever.
The main thing is the name and folder location must match exactly!
There is even some edits to the scripts to automatically create a "restore" zip of the apps before they get modified so if something doesn't look right or you get force close issues you can simply flash the restore.zip in recovery and get back to normal quickly.
Thanks to @Spannaa for the awesome idea and base script! I've been using it for years.
Good luck friend and happy flashing!

ikr I mean how about 9.png? is it using its black border or not? because usually if we extracted 9.png from an APK it'll be without borders, while in compile-decompile process it has to be bordered

I'm know all about patch 9 pngs and vrtheme requires ANY file, rather it be 9.pngs, xml, classes.dex etc to be compiled.
Again, any file you want to push to an apk in recovery using a vrtheme script MUST BE COMPILED!
Pushing a regular png renamed to 9.png can have serious negative results causing the corrupt image to block a button, create force close issues when that image is being call for or even cause a boot loop. Just saying be careful. That's why I use a version that creates a restore.zip that i can flash in case something does happen.
It's a great tool and has many great uses. Just like any time you mod and apk, make sure you understand unexpected things can happen ad be prepared for them if they do.
Good luck and hope this gives you a little info you can use.
Hi , I am going to show you how to enable more Quick Tiles which are "Hidden" on your Samsung Phone this should work on Galaxy A3,A5, and A7
;TouchSensitivity;TorchLight;Toolbox;SideKey;CarMode;
SmartPause;ToddlerMode;EBook;SBeam;NetworkBooster;DrivingMode;PersonalMode;SmartScroll;
you MUST type in the correct name (capital letters, no spaces, semicolons all count). One mistake will not show the tile
To make SideKey work you have to flash the SideKey zip with TWRP

The sqlite editor you are using doesn't work to find "Settings Storage" you need to use this one here in order to work

Using root explorer, open a root tab n go to /system/etc/permissions and look for file named com.sec.feature.findo.xml and delete it or rename it, adding .bak at the end .Save it and reboot.
