Does Need Testing on the 4x HD, works for me, can someone please confirm for me thou please? And test on CM10.2, BACKUP first!
Bored of the same old crappy lock icon in AOSP Roms?!
Well Look no further, these icons will change the Lock icon to a selection of custom images, made by me :3
Code:
I am not responsible for anything at all, if you brake your phone, your problem not mine, but i will help because i'm a nice guy!
Notice
Don't ask for Flashable Zips, 2 Reasons. 1. Makes it too Noob Friendly, this will help you see what else makes up the system ui of your phone and open you up to be able theme them accordingly. 2. I couldn't actually get it to flash properly xD It's good to get experience with the below method thou! And it's totally Worth it tbh!!
These will probably only work on AOSP roms, but i have only tested these myself on my Desire C and they work flawlessly, no lag, nothing like that! So enjoy using them guys :3
Okay so now on how to install you desired ring, it is not as easy as just flashing the zip in recovery, plainly because, their is no zip for you to flash :highfive: Haha, so you need to make some edits to your Framework-res.apk instead until i can be bothered to make a flashable zip for these
First Thing you guys need to do is find your framework-res.apk, i'm sure you allknow where it is but just incase i'll tell you :3 It is Located in the Desired Rom Zip under System>framework>and there it is! I personally would extract it to my desktop and leave it there for later :3
**********
The second thing your gonna wanna do is Decompile or find any way in which you like to extract the res folder that is inside the .apk, again, i'd extract this to my Desktop again because it's an easy place to put it :3
**********
The next thing your gonna need to do is press Thanks on this post to unlock the download Just kidding but, yeah, What you gotta do is download my zip of mods, have a browse of them until you find the one you like, and extract the two images in the Resized/root of the folder to, you guessed it, the desktop You can use the other images outside the folder but the image will be bigger (HDPI)
**********
So Now you've got the two chosen images on your desktop, navigate into the res folder you extracted earlier and navigate to drawable-mdpi, this is all the images and stuff that make parts of your phone, i'd leave most of this alone unless you know what you doing
**********
Now drag and drop the two custom images into the drawable-mdpi folder and allow the files to be overwritten, now put the res folder back into the framework-res.apk and recompile it or do just whatever method it is you like to get the custom res folder back into the .apk
**********
Now, you can either put the framework apk back into the rom zip, and reflash it with your custom lockring, however this is time consuming, and takes longer, can cause errors blah blah blah, you get the idea, so instead just copy the apk to your SD card and use a root browser to copy it
**********
Once the custom framework-res.apk is copied, simply paste it in the system>framework>HERE of your phone, accept the overwrite, your phone will immediately reboot and this is okay, it will then boot up, and your lockscreen ring will change :3
**********
Example of the kinds of rings you can have and what they look like on my Device
However i only have three, because that's all i took screenies of, the first two are ones that wernt resized, but the third one is :3 i think the resized are MDPI so better off choosing the HDPI ones which are outside the Resized Folder

Do you have a windows or a mac computer?
i have both but i do all of the stuff on my hp running vista i replyed 2 days ago but it didnt show up for some reason glad i checked it
i have tryed everything and i cant get it to sign when i push it with adb it works perfict no problems with nothing
so what you need is an update script to do this, its contained in the meta-inf folder, easiest thing i would do is download 7zip and another theme (anyone of them will do but i would try to use one for the rom the theme is to like a CM6.1 or AospMod) i would either move the meta-inf from that zip into yours or delete the system folder in the downloaded theme and replace it with your themed one then it should be flashable
ok do i just open the them with open archive or do i need to completely unzip it i have 7 zip and apk manager but im lost

just open the archives and drag and drop the folders (thats how i do it anyway)

i found on here a while ago a way to sign by right clicking its the most convenient thing ever, also make sure your dont sign .apks in the /system folder they don't need to be at all either.
a forum search should show you how to sign a whole .zip if you still have any issues with signing PM me a link to your build and i can sign it for you
http://www.4shared.com/file/C14v7RL4/comquoordtapatalkxdaactivity.html this is a link to a little change i did not sure if i did the link right i changed it all blue to match my phone let me know what u think its not signed i just push it i would like to get it out to everyone though

oh its just a single .apk you want to make flashable thats a totally different story, did you move the meta-inf into this if not thats good i thought you were asking for a whole build to be themed.
if you did find the orignal meta-inf that was inside it and put it back in, you have to make a flashable zip a totally different way
im going to put up some screen shots of what i have let me know what everyone thinks

Okay guys, I need your help on this one.
As you know, I've already made some black and gingerbread themes, but they all have one problem: the goddamn quick settings icons on the LG header stays white.
This is what I'm talking about:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I've found the things that needed to be changed for the icons themselves.
However, I can't find the background and I'm also short on time; thus asking you all for help.
Basically, the best I could do was:
But the image or xml entry must be there somewhere.
So the objective is, start changing whatever image you find until we get it black.
For this, I'll make available a metamorph script.
Instructions:
You'll need metamorph application and this zip.
Now,
1. Extract zip to some folder on your PC
2. Change images you want to test (use paint or something)
3. When you're done editing, add everything to a .zip (with no compression - store only) called LGT.zip
(must have the same structure as the one you downloaded before)
4. Plug your phone to PC and toggle usb connect
5. Drag the edited LGT.zip to the root of your sdcard and unplug
6. Run Metamorph (you need root+busybox)
7. Pick extract zip, go to the root of your sdcard and choose LGT.zip
(in case it asks, choose replace)
8. Pick apply theme and wait until it's done
9. Reboot
10. Check if background is different
If not, repeat the whole process and try to edit another image.
That's it.
If anyone finds the responsible file, please post here.
Thanks!
Not sure I understand you correctly. Are you asking to find the icons used as quick settings knobs?
Here they are (after examining the zip-file you provide):
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\bt_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\bt_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\gps_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\gps_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_alwaysask_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_disable_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_enable_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_mute_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_vibration_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\wifi_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\wifi_on_normal.png"
I'm not including the orange _pressed_ icons, as they should not be colored in black.
I was not performing your tests, but these icons are the _only_ icons in your zip-file which can be used as quick settings knobs. Please, excuse me if I don't understand your initial request.
He needs background of those icons.
Icons were easy to spot but background picture can be a few.
Im trying now and see if i succed.
Yep, only the background
Here are two similar threads which may help (I hope!):

Thread can be closed, thanks everyone
I managed to replicate what you did with buttons.
I also numbered everything what could be grey/silver background or tab and then applied so i would know which is.
There is no such picture in that file.
So its either in xml (from what i saw none contains color information) or its in some other file.
Im using void so maybe voids theme overwrites it? But it worked for buttons so i dont know.
If there is any more picture files or if you can release void pictures so i could compare.
Something is weird... I put numbers on pictures and none showed up on any of voids theme... i didnt tried with little buttons tho.
I hope it helps anything even i didnt provide any info.
done

There's a post about it around here somewhere in xda.
Can't you upload lge-res.apk so we can push it ? Or maybe a flashable one ?
P.S: Please check your PM. I've sent you one regarding white text on notification bar.

I think the quickest way to make more would be to get the official icon and shrink it so that it can be placed on the little coloured squares.
So my question is: How do I access the icon in an .apk file and also the icons for the default apps like the calculator, navigation etc? I see them on the phone screen smiling back at me but just can't seem to get my hands on the raw .png file.
Perhaps there's some kind of .apk extractor or maybe they are in the phone memory when it's on and can be lifted from there?
Many thanks to any bright spark that knows how to do this. I've searched plenty but maybe I'm just not using the right search terms or something
if all you're after is the .png to make an icon, you could copy the .apk to your computer and rename it to a .zip and extract it. the icons would be in the drawable-hdpi folder.
just in case you were asking where the .apk files are, look in /data/app or /system/app, depending on the app.
Thanks brewcrewwheels,
That worked great for stand alone .apk's but I still can't seem to find the icons for the default apps. I can't find the folders you speak of...

which folders are you referring to? actually let's start at the beginning. are you rooted? if so, do you have root explorer? if those are both yes, then in root explorer you would navigate to system, then app, then select the .apk you want. for example, let's say you want the icon for gmail. go to system, app, then long press gmail.apk. copy it to your sd card (make sure you have selected mount r/w in the top right corner), then copy it to your desktop. rename it to gmail.zip and extract it. go to the folder called res, then you will see drawable-hdpi. this contains all the icons used by the app. in this case, the png you are after is called ic_launcher_mail.png
all of the app logos will be in drawable-hdpi, but they may have different file names. that is why i recommend extracting everything, so at least you will have thumbnails to guide you. hopefully this clears things up a bit, but let me know if you need anything further.

same method, different folder. inside the apk, you can have fun exploring all the different folders and you'll find all files. the way I find music inside apk's is to play them in vlc player (google it), and it should point you to its general location. that's how I ripped a couple of hidden songs from my phone's system folder that are inaccessible any other way.

Splash Screens
To change your splash screen - ( I know there might be simpler and possibly better ways to do this, but I like doing it this way and so am posting it here). Before doing this copy paste any of the splash screen files to the tools folder in your android sdk folder.
1. Restart your device in bootloader mode
2. Connect your usb
3. Start fastboot mode. Make sure you are in fastboot usb
4. Start up command prompt
6. Navigate to your android sdk folder (Using cd ... etc)
7.
Code:
cd tools
8.
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 {name of splash image}.img
fastboot reboot
Note: If you are getting an AdbWinApi.dll error. Just copy paste the one in your platform-tools folder to your tools folder

Sense 3.5 mods
Some mods I have put together for the Sense 3.5. I have tried to keep the look as much stock as possible changing only some parts to give it a more pleasing look. This is still very much a WIP. I am not gonna make a theme out of it as lots of the parts are borrowed, but I will not say no to sharing.
Most of the icons on top are from MIUI, The battery is from elegant blues by he_stheone64
Download and push to system/framework/framework-res.apk
Download
Download and push to /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Download
Download and push to /system/app/Settings.apk
Download
I have changed the system icons as well. The icons are from the faenza pack. And I will upload based on requests. I am posting a few here just for starters.
If you want to change a system icon just pull the file from either system/app or data/app change ic_launcher_'app_name".png or icon.png or 'app_name'.png

This one is quite a work in progress. Will be modified a lot in the next few days. I am combining a lot of slate and light blue elements. Would have made an apk for theme manager but I am modifying the lockscreen too and theme manager doesn't handle that. (Atleast thats what uot tells me)

With cm7 you have to put the animations in /system/media/ . With sense you use /data/local/ . Also in sense you have to rename the file to htc_bootanimation.zip and htc_downanimation.zip
If the above two areas dont work, you can also try /system/customize/resources/
I know that the default ICS WiFi icon has arrows (centered inside the main icon), but it seems on at least one ROM - vibranturk's Doc's Master v8 and perhaps earlier revisions - there was some modification made (I don't know if it's a simple configuration edit or what) that produced the arrows on the lower left side of the main icon which makes it far more readable to see when data is flowing on the up(load) or down(load) side of things. Looks like this on Doc's Master v8:
{

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I'm still using Doc's ROM but I decided to check out the latest CM9 Nightly (20120407) and it obviously has the pure stock ICS WiFi icon.
My question is simple, really:
How can I figure out how to get the same "look and feel" of the WiFi icon in the Doc's ROM over to the CM9 one, if at all possible. I don't know if it's some custom compile option or not because vibranturk did release a v9 beta ROM but it was only up for a few hours - he's since decided to take a break from his development work on those ROMs and pulled the downloads (but I still have them, of course).
I'm not a ROM "wizard" or anything so I don't quite get what's responsible for the WiFi icon meaning is it a library file, an icon file, etc. If this was Windows Mobile I'd know exactly how to handle it, but it's Android.
Just trying to get that arrows-on-the-side easier-to-read WiFi icon as shown in the pic above instead of the stock WiFi icon where the arrows overlay the primary icon itself.
Could be a simple thing but I spent 30+ minutes searching here and at other locations and I just get tons of no useful info at all. Anything anyone can offer as advice or a suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think it would be as simple as swapping out a file in the ROM since Doc's v8 is a 4.0.3 based one and the CM9 nightly is 4.0.4 - trying to do this without borking the Captivate, obviously.
Thanks...
SystemUI.apk open with winrar,
navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi and edit the png images 'stat_sys_wifi_in' 'stat_sys_wifi_inout' and 'stat_sys_wifi_out'.
edit images then drop back in winrar to same location, it will ask settings, just overwrite/update files with "storage" compression.
you will need a image editor capbable of editing transparency. there are some web apps like http://pixlr.com/editor/ . move the arrows left and down within the blank area.
there are better more complete guides out there.
they are not .9.png images so no need to decompile /ect. follow simple image themeing instructions.
Awesome, then I'll get started on it here in a bit and see what comes from it. Thanks for the response.
awe screw it here is the images i just modded, as i wanted to try.
you figure out what to do with them. LOL
and just as i went to post this for you i figured .. " coulda just taken them from the rom that already has em'"... duh me. uhg!
have fun!
er now i look at that screenshot again it looks like the wifi bars are higher, i think i am going to have image clipping (touching/overlapping) if i push this right now.
just winrar open the systemUI from the working rom, find the stat_sys_wifiANYTHING.pngs in the hdpi folder and put them in your rom.
I got it, thanks.
I simply extracted the 3 PNG files from Doc's Master v8 and dropped them into the full CM9 ROM archive in the appropriate folder and installed it, simple. The trick was finding out which files needed to be replaced, and you answered that one with your first post. Works great, as expected.
