Is is possible to replace the animated cog that appears when an app is being launched or a network communication is taking place?
I'm an iPhone user migrating from iOS to Android. I'm enjoying all the customization freedom that Android offers, but I'm having a hard time finding information on how to edit this icon. I'm attaching an image of the concerning graphic.
Thanks in advance
You need to root your device and edit framework.jar, although i can't tell you exactly how.
Why don't you try a custom rom like cyanogenmod? Much better than the stock software and a lot more feature rich.
I just didn't know if this was achievable at all, but thanks to your message I know it's possible so now I just need to figure out how to go about it.
I'm not familiar with cyanogenmod, I'll look into it, as well as into editing the framework.jar.
Thanks for your kind reply

HI Team,
I am facing a very weird issue in my omnia 2 and would really be grateful if any of the experts here could help me sort this out. I have recently bought an omnia 2. In my Omnia 2 Samsung UI Main Menu Icons have lost their pics and i can see are the fonts. I was tweaking around with my phone when this stuff accidentally happened. On checking the phone it seems that i do have those icons and they work with any ui that i install but the pics of the icons just dont show up at all in the samsung UI main menu and in the others screen in that menu. If someone could help me rectify this without a flash it would really be great as I too want to know how do we rectify such issues on the phone.
Guys any help would be really appreciated. Even if someone can tell me where does the UI pick up the icons from it could be of great help

You dont have to flash. Create a backup with SPB backup to your storage card. Reset/Format and restore the backup.
You can spend more time explaining/trying or spend 1 hour and all is well.
See i will tell you whats the issue theoretically. In the registry there is a command given for the file which will show these icons. It might be missing there. All someone needs to help me is by telling me where is that string in the registry and what string should i replace it with. There are tons of expert modders out here who can help
so i was checking out the forums.... did some searching and kinda got lost... so i decided it was time to join and see what i can find out..... got my evo a couple days ago... first thing i thought when checking out my phone is how i can change the theme...
i figured that such a powerful phone it should be possible to do it.... well i found themes and other info... but it all seems contradictory.... some sites and info it seems i need to "root" my phone (which i'm not sure what that is still).... others say i need to "rom" my phone (again still not sure what that is either)...
so what do i need to know to change the theme of my phone? what other things should i know about my phone (besides the basics i read in the guide)?
is it possible to create my own theme for the phone? or is it very complicated?
sorry if this is a repost i did search and as i said i kinda got lost and confused.. it's obviious you all are smart and some of the terms and info you put out kinda has me scratching my head.... it there's a way to explain it simply i can probably understand...
i feel the same way
Well it took em a few days to figure out everything.. I am too a new evo user..i managed to root my evo, add a custom theme and kernel and change my banner..i had figured it out all on my own..theres a evo wiki that might help you...
thanks banks.... i'll look into it...... but thanks to fachadick i learned a little what i needed to know.... my next step was to learn how to root and add roms and the like.... i'll look into that wiki....
the reason you get a lot of different information depending on where you look is because there are multiple options for themes depending on what exactly you are looking for. there are some things that can be done without root. for example many launchers (OpenHome ADW etc) will let you download themes made for it which give you different icons and backgrounds. Other options are to go with a launcher liek Launcher Pro and youcan change your dock around a lot, you can download folder organizer or application organizer and make folders with custom icons, you can use better cut to change icons on single applications. All these you can do with out needing root.
what you will need root for is if you want a theme that changes the rosie UI, changes the menus(ie adds color) or changes the notification icons\color of the top bar, and even changing fonts used by the rosie ui itself
if you dont care about that stuff then you dont actually have to root, though i suggest it anyway, to change your theme.
Hey folks, quick question. I tried to read up on this but there is SO much information that I can't seem to get a good direction to start in.
I would like to make a market app, to change battery icons to what I have created. I would also like to make them compatible with most roms if possible and foremost, I would like the app to make a backup file within the app so users can flash back their old icons at any time and choose from different colors I have to offer.
I have read through this guide and looked at this as well. Is there something more streamlined to be able to do what I want to do or is the first guide sufficient enough? Thanks in advance, any help or input would be appreciated
I'm pretty sure to change the battery icon you need to have root access.
I would suggest having a look at the theming section of the forum, because what you wan't is what they are doing there, replacing stock icons/images and styles with custom ones.
I think there are even apps or programs to flash the themes for you
hello people of XDA, like reading then you may realize that I am totally newbie at this I am ready to learn and research more about what modifications and improvements I can do to my phone (GS4 - GT-i9500).
well let me know if there are any programs you see everything that is installed on the device, so I can show you and to ask that I should uninstall so you can optimize to the maximum that you can get.
I want to remove the programs and games are coming from the seller (CLARO-PERU) do not use them and every time I see the processes, are active consuming RAM.
well also let me know about a problem that pops up every time I restart my phone, a message saying "unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped" it appeared to me days after an OS update, I found a tutorial that told me that things change but I could solve anything because the phone is not unlocked because on the Internet there are a lot of tutorials and none of them resolved my doubts.
and in the future I would like to modify and design if possible the telephone interface as there are things I would like to change as a graphic designer I am.
and in the future I would like to modify and design if possible the telephone interface as there are things I would like to change as a graphic designer I am. and share with you the changes I want to do.
well my first problem I would like to resolve would be how to unlock my phone to desintlar things that come from the vendor and then if someone can recommend how you can alter the colors of the notification LED.
I hope what I wrote to be understandable and would be grateful any information and help you can give me, I hope my grammar is not as ugly as I think.
THX for all

You might get a better response if you post in the right forum. This is the forum for the Galaxy S4 Active (i537, i9525), the forum you are looking for is for the Galaxy S4 (i9500, i9505, i9505G). Try searching and posting in that forum and you might have better luck.
I have been studying programming and the like recently, and I wanted to work on something practical. I recently got a 'Striiv Fusion' and wanted to learn how I can edit the firmware inside the device, to make a few simple changes such as the order in which screens appear.
If anyone could help; I want to know how I can get access to the code in some form for both the Wrist-Device and the Mobile app. Then how to redeploy my edited version of the code into the device/phone.
In addition:
I'm very unfamiliar with this sort of thing, and would appreciate being directed towards any references I could read up on.
