I have only started modding status bar but cant get any color combinations in mind... what should be the colour below?The 15 toggles look good!
How to change the colour of the tabs?? Whenever I change the colour in framework it leads to FC's
Thanks for your help guys!

Tab pngs in framework-res and twframework-res .. you should be aware on how to edit .9.pngs.

If I am not mistaken you need to:
1. Decompile your app.
2. Edit your .9.png with gimp or photoshop.
3. Use the .9.png editor that came with android sdk to verify your changes.
4. Recompile your app.
5. Test and repeat if necessary.
Correct me if I am wrong.

The fcs are coming from wrongly made .9 pngs.Like i said before,dont touch the dark lines and dots which determine the content and stretchable area.Cut of the part which you want to modify,make modifications and merge it with the surrounding lines again.Like bumslayer said,you can use draw9patch tool from sdk.But that's an extremely time consuming process.It'll let you convert any png to .9 patch png but only one at a time.

Here's what I use: xUltimate-D9PC
This one "compiles" the .9.png files. All you have to do now is drag them to the res/drawable-ldpi folder of the apk without even decompiling the app with apktool. Easy, no?
And yes, you can thank me now (credits to the original poster, of course).

So hell_lock, bro. Did xUltimate-d9pc work for you?

Try unpacking systemui.apk and then using a kitchen to customize and finally compiling and signing it with your preffered choice of signer
Reply if u want me to reccomend some good kitchens or signer

Guys I am pissed off now!! I use activity_title_bar from USSR and it works but when I make my own it FC's!! I have applied 9 patch and tried all sorts of stuff!! I have no option other than to copy png from his rom... is it an offence here?? Cuz these days people are getting sued for copying.

[GUIDE][GB] How to change text Zombie Art By Jack Larson on Platlogo

This is the first thread that I created on XDA, so sorry if my english bad.
OK, back to the topic. To change the text "Zombie art by Jack Larson" you can follow the steps below.
Take framework.jar. (you can use the framework.jar that exist on your device system)
Change the format to framework.apk
Decompile framewrok.apk. (u can use apktool or apk multi tool)
Use notepad++ to open file "PlatLogoActivity.smali" in /framework.apk/smali/com/android/internal/app/
Find the text "Zombie art by Jack Larson"
Change the text to which you want. For example : "I Love My Android"
Recompile
Delete classes.dex
The result will be System_framework.apk. Change into framework.jar.
Done (^_^)

I assume this method won't work on Samsung devices, right??
I mean this tut should be only for Sony devices, cuz it's under [Development Projects for Sony Devices], am I right?

this is just adding an app to settings? this is really universal not just for this device.

With this tutorial you will add the cpu settings and stats under the developer option menu. If you want to add them in the settings menu, you have to edit the settings_header.xml in the xml folder.
Most likely this tutorial works for all devices

Yeah this is on the portal !!

Use the latest build from our XDA Dev DB. Do not use mirror links as it contains the build from April 30, 2014. The new build has RTL support for arabic and hebrew as well as bangla for indian users

RIL patch is already integrated in Hyperion 9. If you have this problem, it is either your baseband or your kernel.
