Ok I think I'll answer this, but bear with me as it's NOT easy or for the faint of heart. If you read this and you DO NOT feel comfortable I would recommend you not giving this a go.
Before you start ANY of these steps below, MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE REPLACING THEM. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED FOLLOWING THESE STEPS! You have been warned.
1) Visit the website above and run through the steps to get the battery images you want. For the purposes of this tutorial/howto I am not covering how to change anything else (KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid).
2) The easiest ones to change are the Version A-I ones, just choose which battery set would work best for you on your phone and click "Next"
3) Choose "Do not include icons" and click next. The icons it is talking about here are the signal, wifi, usb etc notification bar icons and as I mentioned I will not cover how to change those here.
4) Leave "Do not change notification status bar" selected and click next. Again I'm not covering that here.
5) You can choose a different boot anim if you want, they are very easy to upload to your phone and you can figure out where they have to be put yourself with no problems. IMPORTANT: If you do change the boot animation, make sure you choose the correct type of rom you have from the dropdown selection.
6) Upload your existing framework-res.apk (using something like DroidExplorer, navigate to /system/framework and paste it onto your desktop, then upload here). This will update the relevant files in your framework-res.apk automatically. (If you cannot obtain your existing framework-res.apk I cannot guarantee method 2 will work, sorry but feel free to try)
7) Replace your framework-res.apk (via DroidExplorer or your chosen ADB browser) on your phone and reboot. Voila!
This worked for me on shubcraft 2.0 drop mode but obviously I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone. Please remember my warnings above that this is not guranteed.
hello, thanks for your quick help, but it doesn't work for hyperdroid rom V1.7
any idea ?

there is another far more complicated way around it, but it really does take about half an hour to work out.
Basically, you need to get your framework-res.apk and extract it with winrar or something similar (an apk is basically just a zip file) and find the folder called res/drawable-HDPI. this is where all the icons for things like your battery icons live.
Copy and paste the new icons from someone elses framework-res or even one you download from the website above into this folder and replace the drawable-HDPI folder into your framework-res.apk, replace it onto your phone and reboot.
Again, this is a quick description of a much lengthier way of doing it but it does work. Also, my disclaimer in the post I made before still stands, do this AT YOUR OWN RISK and do NOT complain to me if something breaks. If you don't fully understand, don't do anything.
I tried the kitchen method, but I receive a huge error log after uploading the framework apk
is the page currently partly down?

It doesn't seem to work all that well with frameworks from our current modded builds. I've tried it with a rooted desire framework (from my gf's desire) and that worked. Evidently all the work that the devs do on our hd2's make them very different to other android builds. the second method I posted (adding the png's to your existing framework) works perfectly.

This method will not work with the battery icons which shows all 100% increments. This method will only work for the standard battery icons, which only involves like 12 battery icons.
In order to add the 1% increment readings in the battery, it involves modifying xml files to read and associate the correct battery icons at each increment.
can you give a tut how to add the version a manually?
nvm, I got it!
I am currently using the super fast and reliable desire_hd2 build on my HD2. I have changed the icons (framework-res.apk) on the build with no trouble but I have come across this thread. Here are some cool looking skins which I would love to apply to my device but having trouble doing so.
I am asking for help on how to get these skins onto my phone as I think it would be awesome to swap and change these skins at will without changing the build.
Thanks in advanced.

The skins that come as a .apk file are easy to install. What if they come in a zip or rar file like this one. Now once this zip is extracted it has system/app folders with a load of .apk files for browser. calendar, friendstream etc and a META-INF folder. I have tried placing these folders into the root folder of the Android folder (desire_hd2 or simular, depending on which build you are using) and restarting. The first two times I tried, with different themes my phone would not boot past the htc splash screen and melody. I thought it might be because I were putting the META-INF folder in there as well. I have just tried to leave out the META-INF and my phone booted up fine. Then came the problems. Everytime I tried to start an application like browser, camera, mail etc, then a force close would come up and the application would refuse to start. I am currently reinstalling the desire_hd2 build for the third time today and still wondering what I am doing wrong.
Any help please

hi,
as far as I know, we can't use those native android files on android ports as they often require recovery mode to install (hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong).
sorry ur stuck with the apk's for now.
I do know you can put the framework-res.apk in root-system-framework in the android folder on your sd card, reboot to alter the wifi, battery and other icons at the top of the screen, just experimenting now to see if you can import the the icons for calendar, mail, message, internet friendscreen etc. Seems there might be a problem moving the com.htc.resources.apk to framework folder as you would framework-res.apk. Will try and report my findings on here.
good luck.
would be interested to see if you get it sorted
edit:
the battery with % is working
but when i use the volume up/down button there is an strange animated image
and when i go in preferences on display i get an error with the process com.android.settings
also i get reboots sometimes
i used FrameworkUtility and the files i added to the post
plz help
Better Dont use it now
you can flash the file (framework-res.apk) with adb in the tools of android sdk
open cmd and type
cd (path like d:\android-sdk-windows\tools)
d: (when its on d
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell reboot
you can try to make new folder in the root /system/framework and copy the file there, reboot and delete the files, but for me it doesnt worked
i use mdeejays froyo hd 4.3
may work with other builds, but you can try it change your framework with the files und framework utility

Hello Guys,
i want to use a circular battery with %
so far i tried to use the graphics for a circullar battery which i copied into framework-res.apk with adb - this works
then i tried to add the %
i changed this files(tried it with files from diffrent threads) in framework-res.apk with adb
battery_charge_fill.xml
stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
zzz_stat_sys_battery_1.xml
stat_sys_battery.xml
but i then i have the problem that i have no battery indicator anymore or i get a boot loop.
i have read that the xml files are compiled so i decompiled the framework file with apk manager 4.9, packed the files in it but have some trouble to compile it again.i tried just to compress again but it doesnt work
so what is the problem?
compiling, the xml files,the graphics or are there more files i need?
or something else?
i know there is an app but if its possible i want to include this directly.
and i added the files i think are needed to get the full circular battery with % working
yes.. reemplacing framework of course works
but depende what kind of build are using.... for me, is easier to use and change in desire hd builds
Why dont you try replacing the framework-res.apk with one of these in this thread. It looks very similar to what you want and of course, you dont know until you try. I would not try the animated frameworks, just to be on the safe side. Of course, it would help if we knew which build you are using.
i use MDJ FroYo HD v.4.3
i dont want to replace the whole framework i want to know how i can change it on my framework

Hi to all...
after seraching and reading a looong time now, i am stucked, the only thing i found was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033366
But i own a A500 not a Xoom... so what to do?
Wishlist:
- White Home/Backbuttons (have some, from Dexters Rom)
- white clock
- white Wifi/Battery Icon (at least not this &%$(/& stock blue)
dreaming:
when you scroll through your homescreens, a blue frame appears, how can i change those color into black? would be awesome, let it completly disappear, so transparent maybe?
I know many of you like the Blue Theme from honeycomb, but... i really hat it!!!
So, if anyone could help me... please feel free.
I am using Dexters Iconia P2-2, and dont want to use another. So maybe someone can post a modified systemui.apk ?
I have no idea if such a apk is always compatible to all ROMs from 3.1, so i dont want to test the Xoom one, and in this apk are things i dont want to have (like green google search bar, green glow and so on) modding,opening apk files by myself... i think its easier for me went back in time and kill hitler...
I wonder why there is no real theme mod around here for the Acer A500.
Hope some knowing guys can help, or want the same... let's see
Thank you anyway

thats easy....I can tell you how to do it yourself..
NOTE: an apk is just a zip file, do not decompress these, rather double click them and open them in winrar and you can see the contents.
Download the xoom theme, and there is a folder called "System App" this has the apk you want to play with. inside each apk there is a file called "res" inside this there are a few folders, the ones you are interested in are any named "drawable..." this is where all of the graphics are held.
then open the zip the rom comes in, i.e double click and winrar will open, go to system\app and find the same apk that are contained in the theme, then it is a process of swapping the files from one to the other.
when you are finished making changes, copy your edited apk back into your rom and flash it without wiping data, because it is the same rom nothing will happen apart from th4e new apk will be installed!!
Hope that helps...

Wow, great insight! Thanks MysticGenius. I had no idea the .apk's were just archives and could be opened up

yeah, this is what I love about android, you can take someone elses rom, skin the apk to your liking, even add missing applications you use regularly and just flash.
as long as you dont decompress, the signature usually stays intact.
if you need further assistance, pm me
edit : most imagery is in the drawable-mdpi folder
I just skinned the systemui.apk is 10 minutes just so you have an idea of how easy this is!!!!
I'm trying to create my own theme modification of AsusSystemUI.apk
However, it cannot be used by a clean flash.
It will work if I install Asus stock rom (Zenfone 5 - 3.24.40.78), first boot, then replace with my file later.
I suspect it's because of apk signature. Where can I find platform key to sign it or any other tip to make it work?
==================
Problem Solved: By copy Androimanifest.xml and Meta-inf from Stock file to modified one.
