No, you haven't got me..... i said...the setting.apk is completed now....
So make a flashable zip, put the setting.apk inside the zip, goto recovery, & flash it,...thats all....
& if you dont know how to make a flashable zip...then just skip the process of making flashable zip...take the
completed setting.apk goto system/app remove the previous setting.apk from there put the new one ,change permission.reboot.

I found circle shaped hover icon on 4.1.2 really annoying for drawing purpose.
to change the icon go to
system\framework
copy framework-res.apk to your computer
open it using unzip program
replace
\res\drawable-mdpi\tw_pointer_spot_hovering_spen.png
with icon you want. (in my case I made copy of it and edited using photoshop)
I did not unzip the apk. I dragged new file onto unzip program and replaced the png file.
copy the file back to system\framework using root explorer and replaced it.
it worked without problem for me but make backup just to be safe
Nice find. pretty cool
Should of post a pic of what new icon looks like!

SWEET dude! It works! Thanks alot. I followed your instructions exactly. I used winrar to get to the png.
Maybe someone could make a bunch of cursors and an app that lets you interchange them easily?
I cant find drawable-mdpi\
i cant find drawable-mdpi\ please help
Still works!
I did a TON of research on this, and was nervous about flashing, modding system files, etc. Running stock rooted 4.3 Verizon Note 2. Just wanted to let people know this still works! Thanks for the instruction!

The little blue oval in the upper right hand side of the screen, it's the portal from Portal.
Is there a way to replace stock toggles with some others or to apply a theme to them (don`t like how stock green/blue ones look)

in 4.3 you could just replace the images inside the systemui.apk.
in 4.4 ,at least the battery is no more an image, its code. dont know for the toggles, i´m still on 4.3.
if you have root, make a copy of your systemui.apk, extract it with winrar, 7zip or whatever, navigate to \res\drawable-xxhdpi.
you find the icons there, they can easily be replaced and repacked.
after that, i just overwrite the old systemui.apk and reboot immediately.
if you dont want to do it while the system is running, you can do it from custom recovery(filemanager) or create a flashable zip.
there may be an easier way to change those icons, i dont know.

Hello everyone
In this tutorial i will show you how to integrate the recovery into a custom rom.
This way users will not have to install it separately

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
REQUIREMENTS:
You must know how to build a custom rom using Android Kitchen.
You must know how to edit an updater-script using Notepad++.
The WORKING folder of your rom (the one you get from the android kitchen when you extract system.img or zip folder or system.tar).
The recovery's flashable zip.
For this tutorial i am gonna use the PhilZ Touch CWM as example but this method is universal for all recoveries.
So, let's start:
1. Create in the kitchen's WORKING folder, a new folder and name it system2 (in your case working folder's name is gonna be different).
2. Extact the recovery's system folder contents into the system2 folder (the one previously created).
3. From the recovery's META-INF folder open, using Notepad++, the updater-script.
In my case looks like this:
4. Before proceeding, let me explain what is going on with the following lines:
package_extract_file("system/bin/recovery.tar", "/system/bin/recovery.tar");
package_extract_file("system/bin/taimport", "/system/bin/taimport");
package_extract_file("system/bin/taimportx", "/system/bin/taimportx");
package_extract_dir("system/btmgr", "/system/btmgr");
----- package_extract_dir(” “, “/”) – This command extracts all the files from the folder mentioned inside first quotation to the directory inside second quotation. -----
So since you created a new folder named system2, the above lines should be edited and look like this:
package_extract_file("system2/bin/recovery.tar", "/system/bin/recovery.tar");
package_extract_file("system2/bin/taimport", "/system/bin/taimport");
package_extract_file("system2/bin/taimportx", "/system/bin/taimportx");
package_extract_dir("system2/btmgr", "/system/btmgr");
5. Now open, using Notepad++, the updater-script for your rom.
6. Now copy the edited lines from the recovery's updater-script into the updater-script of your rom (add them at the bottom). Remove the show_progress lines. Now save the file.
7. Now you can build your rom and enjoy the integrated recovery!
8. Happy rom building

This is very simple
Iv already written a whole guide for this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52457099
Once you have extracted it you can just load it into a working folder in kitchen or do what you like with it
