Just wanted to share.
This SystemUI.apk has the singal icons replaced with the iOS7 styled icons (dots). Just replace your SystemUI.apk with the attached one and set permission using 'Root Explorer' or equivalent.
**** IMPORTANT *****
You can not just replace the apk or you will get FC. The best way to do it is to copy the apk to a system folder other than the actual location of the file. For example if the apk to be replaces is in /System/app, then copy the apk first to /system/priv-app, set the correct permissions there and then move to system/app and vice-verse. (the same applies to the odex file)
reboot the device after moving the files.

Does anyone know which icon pack this is in the dock bar, and whether it would work on LP Plus?
They are from the GO launcher. You can extract them from the GO Launcher apk.
How do I do that?

Download the apk from the market, put it on your sdcard with root explorer or something, transfer it to your PC, rename the .apk to .zip and open it to get all the images.
What file do i put them in after i get them ?
What are the pngs names for these 4 icons in the go launcher zip.

I am attempting to change the look of the statusbar at the top if at all possible. I am running ComRom 1.3 and would like to change the statusbar as the green just doesn't work for me. Can anyone help me?
You could always use 7zip to get into the file and replace all the .pngs that you want. But beware, there are a LOT of files that would need to be replaced. The battery icon alone is over 100 files. Signal bars is around 8, etc.

Statusbar_background.9, just change the color of it using photoshop or whatever
I was wondering if I could get the all file or files and use root explorer to obtain the desired status bar.

I've tried to change the status bar in the theme that I'm running to transparent using 7-zip and gimp, I can change it but when I reload my theme in recovery and reboot my phone, the signal bars have an X over theme and I can't make any calls. I'm not extracting the .png files just editing theme and saving the .png9 files with draw 9 patch, but still cant get it to work. Any thoughts?

You could use ninjamorph to decompile the framework-res and TWFramework-res.
Ninjamorph will decompile and recompile an .apk without the need to resign it. After ninjamorph decompiles the .apk use root explorer to copy the files you want to use, make sure they are named correctly. Now navigate to androthemes/workspace folder that ninjamorph created for you and now holds your decompiled .apk's and push the files to framework-res/res/drawable_hdpi or drawable-hdpi-v4 it will overwrite the exsisting files. Now go back to ninjamorph and select finish. It will recompile the .apk and ask you if you want to replace it. Say yes, then say yes to zipalign.apk and finally select no for clean-up.
Your phone will go black for about 10sec then reboot.. JUST WAIT it will reboot. If all went well your statusbar will be changed. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP 1st. Also you can go to youtube and watch a video on ninjamorph. Its a great app. If you need help just PM me....

If you already have the transparent images. Ninjamorph will work for you too. I first used ninjamorph to swap out my battery.png's it worked flawlessly. Go to youtube and search ninjamorph. Watch a couple videos. ninjamorph is free in the market.
Also you need to have transparency enabled. Simply swapping a solid image for a transparent one wont work......

Thank you for your help on this matter. I will start working on it immediately, again, Thanks
I've gotten the status bar transparent, the only thing that I can't get is there is a thin black line on the bottom of my status bar, I've changed everything that I could think of but still cant get it to go away, I'm combining two themes now to see if that will work.
I find it very annoying that the stock launcher comes with 5 screens and you are completely unable to add or remove any of them. I have never needed or used more than 3 screens so it is quite inconvenient to have a launcher with 5 screens that I cannot edit. So, I decompiled the stock ICS launcher and edited the layout to contain 3 screens. I would add an option to edit the screen count in the app itself but I have not compiled ICS on my computer and I do not plan to do so (at least until I upgrade my RAM).
I have also uploaded a version with 7 screens. I tried to allow screen rotation as well but ran into some issues when editing the AndroidManifest.xml. I'll see if I can get it working though.
Download 3 screens: http://www.multiupload.com/ZE4AY4IUM2
Download 7 screens: http://www.multiupload.com/ECCSUYTKI8
To install (rename to Launcher2.apk)
via adb:
Code:
adb push /path/to/downloaded/Launcher2.apk /system/app/
via root file manager:
- copy modified Launcher2.apk to sdcard. Copy from sdcard to /system/app/ and overwrite existing Launcher2.apk

downloading now, will report back. what did you use to decompile? i was using apk manager 4.9 when i was on the Epic but that was failing to decompile (i wanted to mess around myself). i updated apktool.jar and smali/baksmali and still no go.
Thanks. I would like a 7 home screen launcher if u don't mind. . That would be great.

I had some trouble too but realized you need a modified apktool.jar. I got it from the issues page on apktool. Here's the link: http://www.multiupload.com/YWJHOSZ7GJ
Just replace your current apktool.jar (I am assuming you use apktool) with this one.
Awesome, thank you much!

You also need to update your SDK package and pull the newest aapt.exe from the platform-tools folder and place that in APK Manager along with the updated APK Tool.
The new apktool gets you decompiling but you need the aapt.exe to complete the package so you can re compile....

ordinarily, you would fix permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot
or if adb:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Launcher2.apk
adb reboot
.. or reboot into recovery -- advanced, fix permissions. But I was having trouble with FCing after. Anyone else? I'm gonna give it another go. Realllly need 2 more screens

hi guys today i'm here to show you the easyest way to theme your apk without using a pc.
I'm doing this because i don't have my pc now and i'm a little bit bored xD
prerequisites:
-rooted device
-root explorer
-zipsigner (free on play store)
ok LET'S GO!!
1) go to the desired apk and rename it from "apkname.apk" to "apkname.apk.zip" using root explorer (apkname is the name of your application e.g. whatsapp.apk->whatsapp.apk.zip)
2) extract zip using root explorer and you will get a folder with the extracted files inside.
3) go to the extracted folder and change the pics you want
4) be sure to rename the pics with the original name (if i want to change an apk's image called app_logo.png i will have to pick an image and copy it to the extracted folder in res/drawable folder,once here i have to paste the image and rename it into app_logo.png)
5) once you finished replacing the images go back until you see a folder called meta-inf,res,lib,assets etc etc... and press menu button,select all the items and zip all the files,rename the zip into apkname.apk
6) navigate to sdcard/speedsoftware/zip and you will see your zipped file,now rename it from apkname.apk.zip to apkname.apk
7)try to install your modded apk, if it doesn't install open zipsigner and as input file select your modded apk,as output file re-select your modded apk (rename it into signedapkname.apk if you want) then tap on the box to the bottom called "sign the file"
8) once signed install your modded apk using any file manager
ENJOY!
press thanks if i helped you

You mean "resources.arsc" ...
This file contains pre-compiled resources, such as binary XML(values, layouts and dimens... etc) for example,
and to edit this file you must decompile the apk using apktool.jar via PC only (can't be dicompiled/compiled via phone environment)

hello Guys hope you can help me with an Problem:
I wanted to change the Colors of the Icons in the Status Bar so i copied over systemUI.APK to my PC via ES-Data Explorer.
I extracted the ZIP and Coloreed the Logos (Didnt change anything just Colored)
then i got 2 Framework APK ( com.htc.resources.APK and framework-res-htc.APK) and used this APK TOOL: Apktool if xxxx.APK (the two apks from framework)
then i decompiled the SystemUI.APK with APK Tool and replaced the ICONS (which i edited before from an usual extracted APK)
now when i want to compile it again it gives me an error at every Icon which i edited.
Hope you can help me, It worked on my samsung galaxy s2 though.
Ah And not to forget: Of Course im S-OFF and Rooted.
