Theming miui

Hi,
Since ICS is out I have been using mainly CM9. But at the moment I am trying catalyst miui from kong. And I find out that theming is not fully compatible in miui v4 yet.
So I was wondering if it is possible at the moment to change the icons from the status bar? And how?
Thanks!

One way to do it is to decompile MiuiSystemUI.apk (found in /system/app/)
First, get the two framework apk's from /system/framework/
You need framework-res.apk and framework-miui-res.apk
Then in apktool install resources from these apk's
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if framework-miui-res.apk
Then you can decompile MiuiSystemUI.apk
Those png's are in /res/drawable-hdpi/

OK so extracting framework-res from an .mtz file with with archive manager, making the modification, compressing it back in .zip and then deleting the .zip is not the right way then?

I do not know

Hi, do you mean SEMC Debrand Engine apps?
First copy SemcGenericUxpRes.apk and framework-res.apk from system/app of the ROM to this address in your computer:
C:/Documents and settings/name of user/apkmanager/framework
This address is for Windows XP it should be different for Windows7.
Then rename framework-res.apk to 1.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk to 2.apk.
Now you can decompile any app from SDE ROM.

[Q] decompile SystemUI.apk, and framwork-res.apk

decompile system UI
what does decompile mean and how can i do it
thanks in advanced and sorry if its a noob question

it means opening it up to view and edit the files inside, such as layouts and png images etc.
you can use apktool for things like this, some changes can be made with 7zip or notepad++ but i think you need apktool to recompile it, otherwise it will fail when installing.

You can use 7z to change what ever you want that is visible in the archive. but if it includes the values folder which is enbedded in resources.asrc then you will need to decompile > change > recompile

Its a pc based software, some versions will or will not decompile/recompile properly on Ics/JB so you need to download one which is complete, some use two versions but there is a version apktools ics which works ok on jellybean, however depending on what you decompile some errors may need manual fixing.

[Q] Parse error on recompiled framework-res.apk?

Hey everyone..
Currently, I am trying to change one value in the res/values/drawables.xml file of the Xperia V .145 framework-res.apk file...
Decompiling works perfectly, no errors..
When recompiling, Apktool shows a warning, that one string is missing in some languages.. Should not be much of an issue.
When recompiling is done, the framework file shows a parse error.. I have tried signing it, but this didn't work... Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Btw, would it work to paste the resources.arsc file from my modified framework into the base framework-res?
Any help would be appreciated!
(Also, if I don't get it to work myself, might there be a nice guy that does the mood for me?
It's only replacing two numbers, no problem usually

Update... Just tried another framework-res.apk.. Works perfectly after recompiling..
So it must be an issue with the .145 framework..
Hmm.. Can I mix frameworks of different firmware versions?
Edit: Nevermind.. Even framework-res.apk from .140 firmware has the parse error after recompiling.
I have no idea how to do this! >.<
Might it be an issue with Apktool app for Android?

Cant Modify the SystemUI.apk 4.42

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.
