Hi there,
After using the MIUI ROM and discovering it is quite awesome and innovative, I began thinking about applying the SSBM to it. It doesn't have the percentage stuff in its XML's (not fully sure how all that stuff works) so copying it in manually woulden't have done much. I attempted to apply it using the online kitchen, but it came back with a kilometer long error log.
Is there a way at this point to get it working?
Thanks!
Josh.
if u only want the % in ur battery, go in settings and Display settings, there is an Option for this!
Thanks for the reply,
I understand that, and that's what I'm using at the moment, but (as per the title of the thread) I'm looking for / looking to implement the Super Circle MOD for MIUI roms. Google hasn't been much help as of yet. So if anyone knows how it all works when the battery icons arnt in the framework-res.apk, i'd be interested.
Josh.
Hi,
i have some questions about modding darkys 10.1 extreme edition rom
i really like this rom its fast as hell and it didnt drain battery but i want to change few tings what bugg me a lot
1. i want to change green icons in status bar(wifi, batt, signal) to grey/white
2. i want change all icons from gingerbread to old froyo style, new icons confuse me i get used to the old ones and now i have to search all sys apps for long time till i find what i want.... and i also want to change system colors to froyo, i didnt know why but colors from ginger looks faded, for example in sms in froyo there were a juice color but in ginger they are faded/pantone
3. and last but not least how i delete old backups from cwm, they didnt even work enymore so i want to getrid of them.
when i will be able to do that three points i will be most satisfied darky/sgs user on the world, so plz xda help me.
regards
Aluz
You should be able to use the Darky configurator to reflash to the grey icon look.
I don't think you can change the icons back to Froyo. If you could I don't think it would be easy but always amazed at what can be done.
I would check ROM Manager in the backups section to delete old backups. I have deleted old backups from here.
Ok, thanks a lot mate!
Hello all,
I'm been using lately mainly cm7 and MIUI roms, un the last month im running MIUI. I love the MIUI look and feel but i also like the CM7 speed and stability. the only one thing that super-annoyed me on the CM7, and in fact in all android roms, is the icons. they are terribly non uniform and non harmonic. different sizes, different look, they actually look a little "cheap" arranged in rows.
So i thought lately, let's give CM7 another try, this time with the MIUI icons. some MIUI themes have great harminic and coherent icons, like the sense theme and the 3dview wood frames which gives the device a different cool look.
I'm trying to find out where in the sd card MIUI saves the 3d party Icons. appearntly it is not trivial.. it is nor inside framework_res.apk, i dont have a data\system folder and i can't search the root directory for *.png by connecting the phone to the computer.
I'm sure MIUI don't build the icons on the run each time, it must be saved somewhere..! Any Ideas?
Any help? Or is my intentions a non spoken taboo?

You can find the themes in the .mtz file of the theme. It can be openedusing winrar. Inside you'll find a file called icons. Open that with winrar and you'll find all the icons inside.

Already tryed that, not working
in some themes (like the ones I mentioned) the theme is doing some kind of framing to the original icons. the sense theme for example makes a nice glass frame for the original icon. so you cant find the icon in advance in the theme zip, cause the icons changes from phone to phone. Instead you have some basic frames and probably some kind of instructions on how the create the themed icon from the original ones. but still, ones it is done on the phone, it has to be stored some where... that is the question, where is it??
Hello, everyone!
I'm new here on XDA and very, very new to modding. I was wondering if anyone could help me? I just purchased a Galaxy Note 3 and I would like to theme it but I don't particularly know how. I've used the search feature but I don't think I'm wording what I need correctly. Here's what I need help with:
1. A tutorial to edit just a theme not the whole ROM.
2. How do I preview my work so far? I don't want to flash every time I make a change.
3. Is it at all possible to create a whole theme with Eclipse? If so, is there a tutorial I can use?
Before you start grumbling, I repeat...I have used the search feature on XDA and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Simply links pointing me to the right place would be perfect. Thanks in advance, everyone!

Welcome to XDA!
1. Just use Google, many reputable themers write up good guides to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814 and http://xda-university.com/as-a-user/introduction-to-basic-rom-theming
2. You can just switch your themed apk's and SystemUI, then adjusting permissions on them will do fine too...except this will take more time than flashing all files at once.
3. Well you'll need Photoshop too.........for themes....

Thanks for that link! I have Photoshop already, I had a feeling I would need it at some point, haha. As for #2... that was gibberish to me. I would love to share my theme once I'm done with it (if anyone is interested in girly white and light pink). I don't know how to switch apk's and SystemUI or adjusting permissions. Will that link you gave me explain it all? I'm sorry, this is hard for me to grasp.

#2 meant that if you wanted to do system level modding, like modding the look of general apps like Settings, your notification bar, etc....you will have to do that. It's quite complex because you can't just use Java/Eclipse solely to do this. At the end of this though, you can make any device look "the same".
APK's are program files and the SystemUI is what makes your phone....well, a phone. The general GUI of the Statusbar, lockscreen and navigation bar (if you have one set). You will have to set your permissions back as you have to give the system the rights to access the file. If the permissions are set incorrectly, then you'll have to reflash an entire ROM, so that's why making sure you do it right in the updater-script of the flashable zip is more reliable.
If I were you, try theming launchers first, they're usually what people theme for. You could earn good money from it if you put it on Play.

I would really, really like to theme the whole thing, because I absolutely hate the stock colors and the black on white hurts my eyes. I've searched for a ROM with a light theme, but to no avail, especially since the Note 3 is relatively new. I've been trying to figure it out all day and I don't know what I'm doing, haha. I have a theme that I want to modify, so I don't have to start from scratch. It is very complex, I think I have smoke coming out of my ears -_-;

I understand...reminds me of being on stock S5 ROMs where everything was forced to be a shade of teal or blue, made me want to puke.
You could try installing a theme, tweaking it directly on your device (in turn learning how the Android operating system works), and then doing it again on your computer to make it shareable.
May I also recommend an Xposed module called Wanam Xposed alongside your flashed theme. You can essentially change every aspect of your Samsung SystemUI there. From toggles to the notification colors, it gives you a certain amount of themeability that may satisfy some needs.

Thank you for your help! I'm going to try all this and see if I can figure it out. In the meantime, I'm on the hunt for a pink theme. xD
This is a good place to start.
And this is good for photoshop/Gimp processing.

Due to my haste and a surfeit of whiskey, I forgot to say that Alliance ROM - my daily driver - will allow you to get your theme as pink as you need without complications. Background, text, whatever. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571255

I tried Wanam Xposed, it didn't work for me at all. Nothing happened and I followed instructions.

Did you install the Xposed Framework on Xposed Installer?
It works on all devices no matter what firmware.

Alliance allows changes to backgrounds etc, either universal or per app. Same with text colours, the dialler and heaps more, not just the status bar. Other roms and associated kitchens may allow the same, I wouldn't know. But Alliance is so easy to theme on the fly and is rock solid too.

I see. I'm just more used to AOSP because of its sleek professional look over TW ROMs, so I'm not up to date with the mass influx of TW custom ROMs.
