[Q] com.htc.resources.apk-Genius devs please help make alterations for me?

Greetings. Would someone with some talent and skills be willing to please help me/make edits for me? I have provided the main file. I have also provided the other files to show the type that I would like to use.
I would like to change the stock symbols to the offset android '3G' icon/the 1x icon(attached)- and the bars to the four or - preferably five bar bubbly style(also attached).
From what I can see, the files are there within the com.htc.resources.apk file but I think they need to be renamed, perhaps edited in photoshop(which I am furtada with).
Thank you for your dev'ing genius and ill be sure to max out the thanks meter...if i can donate, I will try my darndest.
thank you so much!

thats a fairly simple fix. although I'm not sure that is the correct apk... i run an aosp (so it may not translate correctly for a sense rom) but my changes (which were of a similar type) required updating the /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I dont have time to do it now, but I could take a look at it next week. what rom are you running?

It would be in the framework-res.apk and the signal bar wouldn't be as simple as changing the picture, if I am not mistaken. The 3G to 1x icon is a very simple fix, but I believe that having five (usable) bars requires a bit of extra work involving xml files? I always assuemed that was the reason only Sense ROMs had six bars.

I would try just taking the pngs from a stock sprint hero rom and switching them. I've got a video on it but I never posted it on xda cuz I was gonna delete it but its on my YouTube channel
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

theyre inside the drawable-mdpi folder in the com.htc.resources.apk. thats where i found and how i changed the Ev icon to the other 3G icon thats there...not the offset one which is better. then i just pulled com.htc.resources.apk and pushed the modded one to and from /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
i would be forever grateful if i could get it. im just running a stock 2.1, rooted...which ive altered the 3g icon and bars before but i prefer the offset/bubbly icons
thanks thanks thanks

bump
anyone willing/able to make these edits for me??
it would be greatly appreciated as not only myself but others could benefit as well...
i appreciate your time and thank you!

Trying to wake a dead thread it seams, looking to change the color of the signal bars from green to red. I'm using MIKFROYO v4.5 and I talk to the dev and he pointed out that the change was going to have to occur inside the com.htc.resources apk. Can someone help me out on how to either edit the apk or.do it for me?

[Q] Changing icons in Notification bar (Miui)

Hi,
Can anyone explain how one changes the icons in the notification bar?
More specifically, the 3G icon, Signal Strength, and the notification for a new text message?
Also, I know you can change the carrier name to whatever you like with apps like "CCname" and etc. but I've also seen that people have changed it into actual pictures or .png. Any help?
Thanks

I'd like to know more about this too!

The icons are usually found in framework-res.apk/res/drawable*** and begin with "stat". The email notification depends on what app your using but is also found in res/drawable***. You can change them using metamorph.
Hope this helps.

So do you mean I should use a program like APK Manager, and open up the framework apk? What does metamorph have to do with it? Sorry, don't know anything about this.

Unzip the theme you're using, and navigate your way through the SystemUI folder.
If your theme doesn't come with custom icons, download a theme that does (I use Buuf as a base, because it effectively themes /everything/) and see what naming scheme you require for your custom icons.
Replace the icons in the theme you're using, in the correct folder, and rezip as an .mtz.
Not sure if it's the /best/ way to be doing things, but is working well enough for me. I'm finding it rather easy to create a whole custom theme by simply replacing elements from buuf, with my own, and removing those I want as default.
Edit: I too would like to know about carrier icons, however! haha.

Does anyone know what a sms notification is called? Can't find it in any of the themes for miui. The closest I find is "chat" and i'm assuming thats for google chat

Easiest thing to do is get your rom zip and unpack all the frameworks and apks in apps using 7zip.
Then do a search for "stat" you'll be presented with the icons that appear in your status bar, then you can highlight them to see what apk they came from and edit as you please.
You don't need to use apk tool/manager as your only doing simple edits.
Metamorph will only replace the images you want so you dont need to flash/push a full apk.
Theres threads how to use metamorph, I think one might be a sticky at the top of this section. Its childs play to use it.

the way i have done it today was to take the theme file and open it with 7zip(i just opened the archive, i didnt extract it) and go to folder systemui>res>drawable hdpi>stat_notify_sms.png or whatever file you want to change, then i would delete the file that i wanted to change and add the renamed file that i wanted to the archive. it has to match the stat_notify_sms.png name, or whatever the image is that your changing, or it will not work. then i just put it into dropbox and dl'd it to my phone and installed it
the only downside for me was that i couldnt change that image to the little ribbon that i wanted to. other than that i was able to change the signal bars, the wifi bars, and the 3g bars, but the sms wouldnt change for me, neither would the gmail.

I'm using the stock sms from miui.

For Gmail notification you will have to put
stat_notify_email.png here
com.google.android.gm->res->drawable-hdpi
if these folders do not exists create them.
For changing SMS notification icon changing stat_notify_sms.png under
com.android.mms->res->drawable-hdpi
will change SMS notification icon
Hope this helps.

Ok, Just to be clear.
First, I find a pre-made theme, and change the .mtz to .zip so I can open it.
Then I find the icon i want to replace and change it with the exact name.
Then I compress it back to a .zip.
Then I rename the .zip into a .mtz.
Should that work?

If your on stock odds are its in the framework, never ran miui so I'm not too sure.

If like me, you like a clean uncluttered look to your MIUI phone you might like this MOD.
1.7.15 sees a major update to this MOD. Alongside the options to enable you to Hide/Unhide the Status Bar Clock, the Battery Icon the Carrier and the Debugging Icon, you now have the option to specify your own custom carrier text and the date formats you'd like to see on the Notification Drop Down and the lockscreen.
So lets say you want the date to appear on the drop down as "Jul 16, 2011 10:21AM" but don't want a date to appear at all on the locksceen, you'd enter :-
MMM d, yyyy h:mma (as the Notification Format) and leave the lockscreen format blank.
**Please be aware that if you specify an invalid date format the status bar will FC. I only found this out this morning. I'll try to add error checking for the next realease** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED )

Go to settings, at the top click "system" then go to date and time settings and you'll see right above use 24 hour format there's another option for carrier and status bar settings. I used it and it works great, other than the signal bars drop to zero even though I have service.

Can you guys confirm the signal bars issue? There was another user on the miui forums that said his signal bars disappeared, as did mine.

[MOD] Hide NFC statusbar icon

Hello all, here's a mod to get rid of the NFC icon in the statusbar, if you'd rather not be bothered with it. This will work independently of any SystemUI mods you may have, as it modifies LgNfc.odex. Rather than making the icon transparent, this changes the code that puts it in the statusbar and disables it completely, so there won't be any gaps in the statusbar from the empty icon.
To install, flash HideNFCIcon.zip using TWRP.
If you change your mind, RevertNFCIconMod.zip will restore the stock LgNfc.odex and you'll be back to normal.
If anyone's interested in an AT&T version, I can whip one up, but I'll need someone to re-odex it on their device. You'll need to be comfy at a root adb shell. Please PM me if interested.

Works great, thanks!

Does this work on any rom or just stock?

Is this the same E911 icon because other than that, I don't see an NFC icon on my statusbar.

CONFIRMED working for Tmobile

No the e911 icon is the little satellite looking thing, this looks like a white bow with an N in it. still looking for a simple remove e911 mod

Awesome. I'm used to just having NFC enabled all the time and I hated the icon. Thanks.

Is it possible to remove the NFC icon if you are not rooted?
The phone has the root detection built into it.. don't really want to void my warranty just yet (only had the phone a week or so)
Thanks for any replies/help.

Worked perfectly - Thanks!

Any chance you could make this work with the 12b ota it would be awesome.

Not sure if it was mentioned but if your using burningembers nav mod, this borks NFC completely on my device. I tried the restore and no go. What I mean is it re sizes the nav bar to original and the option to turn on NFC is completely gone. The icon in status bar is there but does nothing. I know flashing different frameworks from different devs has it's risk and I'm not pissing and moaning. I tested at my own risk and am just sharing. I appreciate any and everybody that makes my device better so please don't take this the wrong way. Just a heads up.

The link for the revert back zip takes me to a download of this file [Chihiro]_Mangaka-san_to_Assistant. Mvk file it's not a zip file and it's 153mb I don't think this is right why such a big file to revert back and do I need to change the. Mvk to. Zip?

[Q] Where Is Our Stock Battery Icon?

Experience and common sense tells me the png's should be in SystemUI.apk, but I've cracked it open and I don't see them. Hopefully someone knows something I don't.

what do you mean by align them? although they are drawn in java, they are still called in within the status_bar.xml located in the layout folder.
Code:
<com.android.systemui.BatteryMeterView android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="10.5dip" android:layout_height="16.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="0.33000004dip" android:layout_marginStart="4.0dip" />

I don't know how else to explain it. In 4.4, the battery, signal, etc icons aren't aligned. The battery is the most noticeable of these. It sits considerably higher than the signal bars right next to it. Prior to 4.4, when there were still battery images in the SystemUI.apk, I could've simply edited those images, lowering the battery a pixel or two. I appreciate the help with pointing out the appropriate xml. But even if I knew how to change that, I replaced my laptop recently and for some reason I'm having hell getting apktool or any of its variants working correctly. So I can't decompile/recompile currently.

use v2.0.0 beta 9. that's what i used.
in the code there, i would start with changing the marginbottom to 0.0dip

I keep getting a style-v17 error and I don't know what it means. Nothing will even decompile. I've searched, but all I've found are maybe two people asking the same question with no answers. I am by no means a "developer". More often than not, I simply crack open an apk with 7zip (or old school style with NinjaMorph if I'm on my phone) and edit png's. I've used apktool a handful of times, but I had no problems getting it working properly on my last laptop. Followed instructions and it worked. No such luck this time.
On a more topic-related note, it turns out it was more about the signal bars sitting too low than the battery sitting too high. I used Zipthemer and fixed the relevant signal bar png's.
