This is for 10.1
Now, I can't stand green in my Android. I simply can't. I can't stand TouchWiz.. All the colors thrown together like a box of crayons. I've modified my systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to change the quick settings to blue and the V ticks as well. If you want em, use em.
I did this on GigaWatts 2.0 ROM and I'm not responsible if any other stock rom will fck up from this.
Get the systemUI.apk here. - This is for the quick settings and the tickers in the drop-down menu.
Get the framework-res.apk here - This is for the Settings menu's tickers and switches.
Install:
1. Open your root browser of choice.
2. Browse to /system/priv-app/ and locate systemUI.apk, make a backup, always make a backup.
3. Replace it with my systemUI.apk and set the permissions JUST as they were on the old one, otherwise this won't work.
- You can stop here and restart if you don't want to deal with the next section of crashes. It's a one time procedure but it's a bit annoying to deal with none the less. Enjoy the quick settings icons.
4. Go to /system/framework and locate framework-res.apk, make a backup, always make a backup.
5. Replace it with my framework-res.apk.
6. At this point your system will crash with "android.process.acore has stopped". This is normal for a framework-res.apk replacement. Basically you can make one press in between each "Ok" when the system repeatedly crashes.
7. First manage to set all the permissions.
8. Then manage to go into "apps" in Settings and locate "Contacts Storage" under "All", then clear data and boom, crashing stops.
9. Re-add your Google account.
It should look like this :victory:

You're welcome.
Don't wanna trip Knox? Since Towelroot?
FWIW, towelroot won't trip knox. Are you saying it doesn't work on your Tab? It rooted my 8.4 an did not trip knox.
He means towelroot didn't work on his 10.1.

I guess this won't work on the 8.4? Wat do I have to edit in the systemui.apk in order to change the colors?

First of all thank you for reading this.
I've flashed Darky's ROM v6.0, it was working great. Then flashed this theme, it was still great, moreover even better.
Then I had the idea, what if I make the transparent background of the dialer a little bit darker so I extracted the DialerTabActivity.apk from Darky's ROM, changed the corresponding PNG, saved the new apk with TotalCommander and replaced the original DialerTabActivity.apk in the phone with RootExplorer. It was all right, it was working fine after reboot as well.
Then I had a greater idea, at least it seemed to be a great idea at that time What if I replace the gradient status bar background with a plain black background... I've done everything the same way with the framework-res.apk, yet after restart basically everything force closed. Tried to reflash the theme but it didn't help.
I was wondering what have I done wrong.
1) Why did it work with the dialer the first time and what went wrong with the framework-res.apk?
2) What is the correct way to do these modifications?
Thank you for all your help.
The method was fine. Both modified apks work after ROM reinstall.
Mods attached below.
Dark Transparent theme mod: Full black status bar
Based on XXJPX Dark Transparent 1.7 +AOSP +9patched images +No menu-button unlock +Extended menu +Circle battery mod
Download
Install:
Make sure that no custom wallpaper is set from the Gallery, use a stock wallpaper instead for now. At least this caused me problems first.
Flash it with CWM recovery
Works great on Darky's JPX ROM v6.0

Install:
Rooted device required.
Copy the corresponding file to clipboard with Root Explorer.
Go to the /system/app directory, click Mount R/W
Paste dialertabactivity.apk, overwrite the existing file and click Mount RO
Exit Root Explorer
I have it inverted also in another thread in the Fascinate section but it's more of a Holo theme than Blacked Out...
This thread is for the Transparent Version tho. This is a huge accomplishment since I'm pretty sure this has never been done. There have been transparent Talks but none of them had the chat screen done also.. so this is really cool!..
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU OR YOUR PHONE
Installation Guide:
FOLLOW PRECISELY
1. http://bit.ly/403TalkNOmanifestEdit Download this zip file and flash it in recovery or rom manager... once the device reboots, check your talk.apk and make sure it's working.. it'll be partially themed. If so, reboot your phone again.
2. Once the phone reboots, download this http://bit.ly/403TalkTransparent and flash it in recovery or rom manager.. Once it reboots you should have a fully transparent GTalk.apk
3. If you lose Talk at any point or just wanna go back to stock, download this http://bit.ly/stock403Talk .. it's the stock Talk.apk and flash it
This install method is the only way I got it to work and credits to TravP for collaborating with me on getting this to install due to the weird GApps issues when we touch the manifest.
*known issues*
Only thing I can find is the notification pop up menu.. it's white with black text. We're still looking into this one...

I have a Fascinate, not a Gnex.. So I don't know if this will work on other ICS Roms. Feel free to try it and feel free to add them to a zip file that will support your device.. The zip file I used is from the GApps I installed with the rom just to ensure it installs.. I'll add a "how to" guide later for anyone that want's to know...
works great for me. one request, would it be too hard to still leave black on the top navigation bar? or maybe a darker tint of some sort... I use the awesome plasma live wallpaper and the part behind the name while in a chat is almost exactly the same color as the wallpaper.

Thanks for this B-boy. I'm digging all of this. Everything is working for me just as expected.
Was wondering if you might spread this love to contacts/people?
Whoaa its awesome bro...thx
Sent from my SCH-I500
Thanks guys... glad ya like it...
Its a tough app to theme since it has install issues so I plan on leaving it as is..
Contacts is a biyatch... it force closes the dialer so I plan on compiling it from source to invert it.. along with calendar and the built in keyboard....

Icon Request
If any of you guys or girls will like to have a more complete icon pack I will take any request, all you have to do is find the process name:
how to get the process name
1st way
1. got to https://play.google.com/store
2. search for app you need and click it
3. for example root explorer:
in the url bar you can see the process name which is the blue, it wont be blue on your browser but it will start with (com.)
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[COLOR="Blue"]com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer[/COLOR]&feature=search
2nd way
1. download SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market
2. open the specific app you need
3. press home button
4. go to SystemPanelLite
5. press the desired app name
6. you can see the process name
3rd way
Use a file manager like root explorer to navigated to /data/data and look up the process name, the only thing is by doing it this way you wont see a picture of the app so is a little hard to guess which is which

Those look nice. They'd go really well with my DarkWhite v4 theme I'm working on. Do you mind if I use them? I'd be giving credit to you with a link to this thread, of course.

ICS-style Settings.apk in AndroWiz v3 CM7
So I found this great tutorial on editing your Settings.apk to be more like the Settings in ICS with labels to organize the settings into groups.
By the way I've never done any kind of XML editing before, and this tutorial makes it really easier to understand what you're doing:laugh:
You can find the Tutorial here, written by balamu96m ---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576565&highlight=framework
So I've made a Settings.apk to replace if you are running AndroWiz 3.0 cm7. It has Wireless & Networks label, Device label, and Personal label.
You can download AndroWiz v3 here----->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560491&highlight=androwiz
This ROM is super fast, and it boots up for me in 15 sec!
This may or may not work with Hashcodes Cyanogenmod7, feel free to test it out if you want though

This is what the labels should say, depending on your theme in Cyanogenmod the Labels may look slightly different. i have notice this when switching to another theme, the labels had a slightly different colored background.
I am not responsible for any damage that you do to your phone in this process
Intstructions:
Firstly always make a backup of the Settings.apk, and make a nandroid if youre feeling extra safe
I would suggest using Root Explorer
Rename to Settings.apk
Copy to SDcard
Navigate to the .apk in Root Explorer
Copy it
Paste it into a /system directory BEFORE putting it in /system/app. I put it in /system/media
If you get an error that it is read-only, press ok, and then hit the button in the right hand corner that says 'Mount R/W'. After you tap it it should now say 'Mount R/O'
Now you can paste it again
Now hold your finger on the .apk, and in the menu that pops up select 'Permissions'
Check these boxes
Code:
owner - read write
group - read
others - read
Now copy the apk to /system/app
If it asks you to replace, select 'yes'
Now go back to /system and press the 'Mount R/O' button
Close Root Browser, reboot, and enjoy!
This is for the Edge folks that are rooted and on OE2 and would like the option of running the 3minit battery Mod. Some of these will have colored status-toggle icons and matching centered clocks. I'm starting with blue and will add more as I get time and if anyone is interested in these.
If you are running a theme from the theme store but want these toggles to show up, in your root explorer, go to your root drive, data/app, find your custom them (there will be several files for it) find the one that ends in "lock". Copy-move it to your SD card and reboot.
If you want all 30 toggles install this app, go to the bottom and "add all notification toggles". Big thanks to [email protected] for this useful app. It was made for Sprint users but a lot of the stuff works on ours too.

Here's a link to his post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
I got this to work on the one Odexed rom I tried. Make sure you have a root explorer on your phone. Flash this file first (this is stock but will give you a centered clock). https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347798382
After rebooting, your phone will not have a status bar or toggles but you will have access to all your apps. Open your root explorer and go to system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm folder and delete the two Odexed files. Reboot and you are free to proceed with the other steps if you want the 3minit battery mod. You must now install the 3minit apk below before you flash any of the other mods.
YOU MUST INSTALL THE 3MINIT BATTERY APK FIRST OR YOUR SYSTEMUI WILL CRASH! Flash these at your own risk, make a backup first. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
