theming status bar - Acer Iconia A500

Ok so I've installed the Falcon Galaxy mod because I like the touchwiz interface. However I do not like the look of the status bar. I've read in other posts that all you need to do is go into the SystemUI.apk file of another mod and replace the drawable folders of the mod you're installing. I have tried the systemui for honeyvillain and for status bar mods for the galaxy and none of them seem to have worked. After I flash either the system ui app force closes over and over or some of the icons work and some don't. Can anyone help me out? I'm kind of new to editing apks.

I have changed 98%of my status bar with NinjaMorph successfully. I am using the Lenovo back, home, and menu buttons. I have also changed the battery, wifi and everything else except the clock color, which is beyond me at the moment. Give me a few and I'll post some pics.

Ok, Im now on my PC so I will post up some screnn shots to show what can be done with NinjaMorph.

oh cool, i thought that app was only for phones. thanks for the help!

No problem. When doing the systemUI.apk right after selecting whether or not you want to zipalign (sp) it, it will f/c. Don't worry, just power down and back on and should be good to go. Don't forget to backup first.

do you know what the name of the file is that determines the color of the status bar?

I don't. But looking through Res & systemUI like it is on my phone the status bar should be white by the images in mine. So it must be in an XML somewhere but I don't know about them yet.

hmm. any time i've tried replacing an xml file systemui stops working.

It doesn't come back after a reboot?

I gave up on falcon galaxy. It had a lot of bugs and trying to theme kept ending up messsing things up. I went back to HoneyVillain 1.2. I tried doing a Hue shift on all the status bar icons so that they'd be red instead of blue. It worked except that the popup that shows up when you tap the clock was all messed up. I'm not sure if it saved wrong or what but I suppose I can try again later.

Try my SystemUI Editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289357
It lets you edit the SystemUI.apk file.
Although it's very limited at present, it lets you edit the navigation buttons on the status bar.
I'll continue adding to it.

[Q] need help: settings items not working after theme

I created a port of a tron theme for the 2.3.15 OTA. Right now it is only for framework, and I have simply swapped images and edited colors in xml files. I can no longer open Settings-->phone settings.
When I click it, it just goes back to my home screen. Any ideas what I may have messed up? The same thing happens for battery manager too...

How do you change ICON picture?

How do you change the app icon picture? I am rooted and running cyanogen nightly 110 with launcher pro. Yes I can change the dock icon but not the screen icon, it does not give you anything option to change to custom icon.......This question only few of you might know what I'm talking about.
Check out desktop Visualizer in the market.

thanks man
if you are rooted and not afraid of getting you hands dirty a bit, you can try using ninjamorph to change the icon permanently. It can replace any files you would like within a given application. If you like customization i recommend trying it. Ive changed icons, different color rosie buttons, and also icons in the status bar.

[q] tablet ui for t210/r/211

Hello, everyone!
I like tablet ui very much.
I like small dpi ,( such as120), I think it's comfotable for me.
There are two ways to get tablet ui.
First ,you can use xposed and app settings .But it's boring to set every app to dpi120.
Second,you can use R.E. to edit build.prop .There are two places to edit ,edit them all
I know the tw launcher will die after that. So I delete it.
When I making calls , the sceen become black.
But two different ways come to different results.
Using xposed I get a small status bar at the top. All the bar seems right.
Using R.E. I get a big status bar at the bottom. The color of the bar is white, I don't like it. I think it should be transparent or black. And the virtual keys are repeated.(we already have them)
I never get a comfotable Tablet UI so far.
I have tried to edit systemUI.apk all day, but it failed. I am not good at this.
I also tried to use xblast to change the color of the status bar, nothing changed.
Could someone make such a Mod for us?Big thanks to you!!!
I got tablet ui by using phab7 from xposed modules but the navigation bar is white wich is so ugly

I'm not sure what you mean by system menu, but there are a bunch of menus and pop ups drop downs in framework.. At least on the Samsung Phones... I just got the T217 and haven't had time to look they it.. but this week.com all over it... explain how I get to the menu I question and I'll look

When taping the left soft key a pop up box comes up with system settings. I'm talking about the background of the settings menu, ie sound, display, networks.
If this mean what I thinks on my l9 when I use to have stock rom I change some ui unzipping the systemui.apk on my pc and replacing some jpg and modifying it. Not sure if samsung will work but ofc I'll send you ui fc then restart phone ofcc remember after copy the modified ui set permission rw-r-r then reboot

I looked into themingmy my system ui but after digging around had no idea where the system menu background was. I'm on rooted stock right now. Tried Xblast but it didn't do it. Most of my stuffed is themed with Wanam and Xblast

Are you talking about the background or other stuff?
Im looking to do it on the stock rom, like the Black and White theme. If I could get Fast Dream working on my tab Id be set. Every time I try to install google now it boot loops.
