Well I never thought I would find myself contributing anything to XDA-Dev but I liked these icons so much I decided to share!
These icons are either hand made by myself, or edited from various sources. They feature a transparent background, so they should work well with most statusbar's out there. I am currently working on finishing the blue style icons across the board, and perhaps the purple as well (like the battery).
I have tested these on VanillaEclaire 4 and FroydVillan 1.1, and these work without MetaMorph etc etc.
These are fairly simple to install:
- Pull your framework-res.apk (should be in /system/framework) to the folder of your choice.
- Open framework-res.apk with WinRAR or 7zip and navigate to res\drawable-mdpi (some may be called drawable-hdpi). Just find the .png files that match the ones in my zip files.
- Drag your favourite .png files into the WinRAR/7zip window and click OK to save
- Push updated framework-res.apk to your device and reboot. (adb remount, then, adb push ..., adb reboot)
- If you wish to include the gmail, email, or sms icons like in the screenshot, please also update gmail.apk, email.apk, mms.apk as appropriate!
Update: Pictures! Tons more icons!
Update 2: Vending.apk icons (Market download notifications) See post
Mass spam of the icons, pick and choose!
Disclaimer:
Please update the filenames of the .png's as appropriate. I have created/included several copies that can be used as you please, so the names don't always match the .apk files.
Please make backups before pushing to /system
I have read posts on this forum regarding editing .apk files and the need to re-sign them, or issues with endless reboots after editing .apk files. I used WinRAR and did not create a new framework file, only edited it. I have had 0 issues.
Mega pack attachment below contains all icons from the other 3 zip files!
Update: Pink/Purple pack!
Reserved.
Hopefully I can upload pictures now.

I can't get it to work? this what I get
E:Wrong digest:
system/framework/framework-res.apk
E:Verification failed

I'll keep trying.I really wanna see a purple battery instead of green or blue

Hi Jen, sorry was this when you were pushing or pulling the file? Rebooting?
I use a vanilla rom, and the location of framework-res.apk is exactly where you mentioned. I use a program called "ADB File Explorer" to find things on my device.

When I was pushing in files..
I haven't tried it since I last posted,just don't have the time at the momment i'll give it another try tomorrow..But im really excited on getting this to work <3 i've been looking for something like this for the longest.
Ok sounds good! If it keeps failing to push, try ADB file explorer:

Jen, you're not repacking the apk are you? Just need to update, If you look at my sig i've made a video on how to update images on the phone, might help =o)
SpeeDemon, I really like your battery icons, would it be ok to use them on my next video? I'm making a video on how to change the look of the battery status bar icon and rather than making crappy images myself would like to use your ones, I would of course give credit to you for the icons.

Hey, sure thing fxn, go wild!
Bump for huge update! Still more to come!!!
These are superb SpeeDemon! Mind if I use a few of them in a theme I'm looking into creating?
Beautiful! Gonna try them ASAP! Thanks!

How's this? Added some silver colour to the trim as it seems to fit the style.
That looks stunning!
By the way I'm using a black status bar and the electric blue set just fyi.

Can you please elaborate for me? Are you getting error messages?
How did you update your .apk files and push them back to your device?
Thanks for your interest in the icons!

Hi Dennis. These icons should work with most ROM's out there available for your device, rooted or otherwise. You will need to familiarise yourself with any of the various methods of pulling framework-res.apk from your phone, and placing the .png files into their correct folder (as outlined in my first post). Then you will need to update the file on the phone with your modified .apk (Google/Android call this "push").

If root explorer can pull a copy to your SD card, you may be able to pull it and just do a normal file copy to your PC. You would then need to push it back from SD > /system using root explorer. I have never used the app before, but I just googled it now and some screenshots hint at this possibility.
I would still suggest trying to get ADB working - it is worth the hassle and much quicker than mounting/unmounting an SD card all the time!
i made it with root explorer. I made a copy from the system folder to SD card. then i sent the file via bluetooth to my pc. then i replaced some pictures and clicked OK. after this i sent the framework-res.apk back to my device. then i copied this and pasted it in System/framework and replaced the old one.
and now i cant boot anymore.
it just shows the startupshow (modified) and then there is a black screen which is illuminated a little bit..
so what can I do?
hope for a quick answer.
kind regards from sad DauL
Has anyone had luck making changes to MediaProvider.apk? I've been trying to theme it by changing 1 icon and it seems to break it. I've just slipped in the icon with no success. I've tried apkmanager with no success also. signed, unsigned, etc. I can't seem to get it to work.

I have. I changed out the media update icon. You can grab the modified on out of my theme if you want. Or just use 7zip to replace the PNG you want to replace.

No worries and good luck, hope it works for you.
I have JI6 (unofficial froyo) version of Captivate (i897)...
I like to theme the notification bar (Transparent, icons, etc.) without any ROM.
I have tried Cognition ROM, but random shutdown was killing me...
So, anyone know how?
by SDK/ADB, root manager, metromorph, Odin, or whatever you can do - THAT WORKS!!!

It depends on what you want and where you want it. Certain changes require changes to the xml codebehind and some do not. It is not as easy as it may seem for the average user.
You have to use winrar to open the theme or rom you are using.go to the twframework-res.apk.open that DO NOT UN ZIP ANYTHING!! then look for status bar background.9 drag and drop onto desk top or folder whatever then edit in photoshop or whatever you have and put back save and put it back in the folder.If I can get by a computer today there is thread out the will tell you do to do it that is big help.I you have some problems I can do some editing for you but would have to wait until I get home I am out of town.oh and when you put the edit status backgroung.9 back into the zip file make sure it is stored and compressed

Along this same line of questioning........
All I want to do is remove the transparency from the notification drop down in my current rom / theme. Is there a single value in an xml file to adjust this feature?
It's a .png that you'll need to change the opacity of.

Thanks for the thread been looking for something like that but someone psoted somethign saying that you had to use a cpativate rom for it because the i9000 roms have different file types in them
Now there is theme kitchen, upload a apk and you can apply themes. Then after some time, you get a new apk in a cwm flashable zip.

As everybody knows, in our android smartphone from 4.0 there is a possibility to switch between holo light and holo dark theme...but without selector on settings, only change some value on system.
Reading around, I have found that maybe we have to modify "androidmanifest.XML" but every apk have one, and I don't know which edit.
I tried to edit from "framework-res.apk" but when I finished and recompiled again, and replace with existing one, I have only a boot loop.....
Someone can help me to understand which file I have to edit for switch from holo.light to holo.dark???
Thanks to everybody....

no one can help me to understand??
Maybe I have explained so bad, or really nobody knows how to change the theme?
Well there is no straightforward answer. Some apps declare their theme in the styles.xml inside the values folder. Others do it in the manifest. That's what you need to change. It's app specific. The framework has nothing to do with it
Sent from my One S using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Thanks for your answer, i explain you one thing to understand better:
The same ROM has been created in white (holo.light) and in dark gray (holo.dark). If i explore all the System apk, in androidmanifest.xml there is the value "holo.light" in white rom, and "holo" in dark version....
You can tell me to replace the androidmanifest.xml with existed one, but if i do it, i have a bootloop, i have tried to edit it, and i have the same problem, but if i change the entire apk, it work perfectly and change the apk theme color.....why this???
And finally, all the applications i download from the market, are not personalized with a single theme, it turns white or black depending on a value that tells him to become white or dark, which is the same, in my opinion, that runs the Rom in white or dark.
Which is this value, and where i can find it???
Don't change the whole manifest. Only that line. And remember, there WILL be parts of the app which will not look right.

You would need to go through all the .xml files in systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and change all the image redirections. Or make a cm theme apk

I have tried both replacing the entire "AndroidManifest.xml", and change only the individual lines where it was written "HOLO.LIGHT" and made him "holo" (deleting the word "light"), but the result is always the same: with the "framework-res.apk" does not start the rom, with any other apk (settings.apk for example) I do not install the apk.

You think is a redirections problem??? The images there are all on "res/drawable-hdpi" and cheking both xml files (ROM HOLO AND ROM HOLO LIGHT) there are not differences except the lines where is writed "Holo" on dark theme, and "holo.light" in white theme.
If someone want help me, i can send in private the same apk you want, version dark, and version white, so you can help me to understand......
Is there anyone????

what you are asking to do is very very complicated. there isn't an easy answer. you would have to retheme every single app on your phone. plus changing manifest won't work....especially if an app is only coded for holo dark...but the major problem is that no developer follows google style designs 100%, not even google at the moment.

after pushing framework-res.apk into your phone, go to recovery and try fixing permissions.
