I am trying to change the Icon using Ninja Morph. I did exactly what the tread on "how to NinjaMorph" but it does not work.
It seems like I can change the color on the Icon's but it will not let me change out the Icon.
Here is what I did.
I start with New Project
go System than App
than I go the the app that I want to change the Icon
open Res, than Drawable-hdpi, tap the icon I want to change.
Than it opens a folders
I go to the folder with the Icon that I want to replace it with
I click on the Icon that I want use.
After that I exit
than I go to Finish Project,
It as me to confirm Action and couple of other question after.
I reboot the phone and the icon is not change.
What am I missing?
Note: I already did review the tread "how to ninjamorph" and it seem like I am doing everything correctly. The only thing is that the tread says that phone should reboot automatically and mine doesn't. I reboot manually.
When I change the icon color on "edit icon", it works fine.
By the way, I already have busybox installed.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
What's the app?

There are some system apps that just wont take. Does the app disappear from the drawer after you edit it? If not then its not taking the change. Be wsue youre changing the png as they normally have a couple pngs that look the same but only one is the icon.
Have you tried manually replacing them?

When I edit the icon, it would disappear but when I reboot the phone, app will reappear. The only thing is that I have to mount the app in the system. Once I edit the app it was not reinstall with app manager. In other words I have to mount the application directly into the zip folder for the system then reinstall the theme or the rom.

I've had some experience with ninja morph not always accepting my changes. After you open your project, use astro to go to sd/androidthemes/workspace. Copy paste the files using astro and then go to ninjamorph and finish the project. Then I use root explorer to paste the app in system/app. Install it (sometimes says fail but it works) then change the permissions and reboot. Just match the permissions list with any other app in system/app as they're all the same. Then reboot. Hope this helps.

What do you mean by changing the permission? Also, can you be little bit more specific with instructions? I am fairly new to all this.
Also, is there a way I can try to change the icons with my computer? Is there a program or an app out there that works like a Ninja Morph for the desktop?

I actually use picsay on the phone to make small edits to the icons. I then pull them from my sd to my pc to convert the jpeg back to png and insert them. But you can also use photoshop to edit images/create your own. Theg have to be the correct size.
I gave up. I just decided to use Better Cut. I never knew/realized you can customize icons on your phone with icon.
I can't seem to get either of them working. I'm using this theme, but the clock isn't centered for either. I also didn't understand the step 6.2 part in the guide; I can't find the smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/ folder. I tried this too, but it doesn't work, and if I rename SystemUI.odex, the status bar disappears altogether. I'm using mik's CM7 6.5.7. Sorry if I sound like a n00b
hey for making the clock to be placed in center you have to do following
1) use any custom launcher like adw, go launcher or zeam etc.
2) you have to edit setting of launcher and set both 'the number of rows and columns to be odd in number' ( best is to set 5x5 )
3) now after saving settings drag the clock on center of both row and columns
4 for eg in a case of 5x5 ratio you have to place your clock in 3'rd row and 3'rd column
5) now your clock will be aligned in center of screen

He's talking about the clock in the status bar, not a clock widget.
@perseus0807
If your status bar is not showing up after renaming or moving the odex file, try clearing cache and dalvik in the recovery, should be there after that.

Nope, no luck.
I'm using the Amon-Ra recovery though, could that be the problem? Should I use CWM?

are you s-off? you need to be to change system fonts from phone or app. I just rename the fonts I want to use to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf copy and paste using a root file manager into system,font and reboot.
p.s clocktopia is your lockscreen clock font so renaming any font to Clocktopia.ttf and doing same as above will change clock lockscreen font.

are you s-off?
if you are try it manually, the app should have downloaded the font to your sd card. find it and copy it to /system/font then rename it to overwrite the old ones and set permissions.
Alternatively, try a different font installer. i use absolute system tools and it works flawlessly on every rom i tried.

Firstly, I must give credit to @willyjay for showing me how to modify the notification bar icons from black and white to color for Google applications.
NOTE: THESE MODS WORK ON ODEXED ROMS, DEODEXED ROMS NEED MODIFICATIONS TO THE /SYSTEM/APP FOLDER.
IF NOTIFICATIONS DON'T WORK AFTER INITIAL FLASH, MAKE SURE YOU ONLY HAVE 1 COPY OF THE APK IN YOUR /DATA/APP FOLDER
** Update December 7, 2014 **
ONLY FOR KK ROMS. EVERYTHING SHOWS UP WHITE IN LP.
You can download individual app color notifications using the hyperlinks at the bottom of this post or the all inclusive zip listed in the instructions.
Nexus Color matches the attached screenshots, Google Color matches the Moonshine Icons
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK, I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone. If you have issues after flashing, you can try to Uninstall Updates in Settings / Apps, or flash Gapps.
Feel free to post icon suggestions, but they should have a transparent background and be 256 x 256 max.
Instructions
1. Flash Color Notification Icons in recovery (single zip contains all apps listed below)
Nexus Colors (see attachements, Updated August 15th)
Moonshine (sample - Updated September 4th)
2. Wipe cache / dalvik cache (optional)
3. Reboot
4. Profit
Google + Nexus Color Google Color
Calendar Nexus Color Google Color
EMail Nexus Color Google Color
GMail Nexus Color Google Color
Hangouts (only 1 zip)
I'll add more apps and icons.
Screenshots below.
If you like my work, say thanks. I do this for fun, don't donate to me. If you are feeling generous, you can donate to the Alpine Learning Group.
You can do it!
Create a nandroid backup before attempting this.
Here's how you can create your own notification icons
Download 7zip
Download Gimp
Download Notepad++ (we’ll need this for more advanced stuff later)
Create your new icon. You can use Gimp to make sure it is
transparent
1 layer
192 x 192 max
Pull the particular app from your phone (\data\app folder for odex ROM, \system\app for deodex, and copy the apk to your computer)
Backup the original apk, I have an N5 folder and a mod folder under that with the modified apk
Use 7zip to open the apk
navigate the to res\drawable-xxhdpi folder (Hangouts uses the drawable-xxhdpi-v11 folder)
If you would like to see all the icons within the folder, choose Extract from the 7zip menu
Overwrite the desired png with your modified png (must be transparent, 1 layer and 192X192 max) - the new png must have the same name as the old png
Back out of the apk
Create a copy of the Color_Notification.zip and rename it accordingly
Use 7zip to open the zip
Navigate to the \data\app or \system\app folder and paste the new apk inside
back out of the zip
Copy zip to your phone, flash in recovery, profit
The blank zip is attached.
Reserved
just in case

Looks great, well done mate.
Great work bigknowz!!!!!!
Keeps failing for me when I try to run in recovery? I've tried a number of different ways, but still fails. I can't even drop the package into my files from my computer?
I'm on stock ROM, rooted, obviously. I re-installed the GAPPS package, but still no luck?

Do you get an error message in recovery? It might ask you if you want to flash untrusted zip, say yes. Anyone out there installed successfully? The zip has over 40 downloads and this is the first reported problem.
Also, any thoughts on this new Google+ icon?

Hmm...interesting? No, it fails when I try to run it in recovery and I had to download it directly on my phone, if I try to drop the file from my pc, it says "Cannot copy item the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" HOWEVER, it will still let me drop other packages, just not this one...I re-downloaded it thinking maybe my downloaded file was corrupt, but no luck...
I like the new icon! Good work

It will say the zip is untrusted because of the signature. Are you using flashify? Might not work with that. Redownload. If it fails again, let me know, I'll upload the file again.

Oops
Sorry @ilanderek and @superg81, fixed the OP.
This is very cool, whoever the main cons is that you have to setup manually every notification icon... I think this should be default in android, since this looks way much better than before...
Updated Google+
Updated the Google+ color notification. Expect a new calendar zip soon, Google is pushing out an update.
I changed the OP, link to new Google+ zip is there as well.
Updated Calendar
Finally received the Calendar update, you can grab the app in the OP. The icon is attached.
The full Color Notifications zip in the OP was updated today.
nice!

The statusbar would normally disappear (not force close just not show) if it has not been correctly signed
You have three options
1 - Restore your nandroid backup you should of made before flashing anything to return your phone to the pre-flashing state
2 - Flash your original SystemUI.apk in cwm with system mounted
3 - Resign the modded SystemUI.apk with a platform key using zipsigner from the playstore and then reflash

What ever SystemUI.apk you flash will be the status bar that will be used if the SystemUI.apk has no errors in it so if you resign the modded systemui from the thread you gave and flash it as long as it is compatible and free of errors it should display - however if it doesn't the only way you would know why is through a logcat
