I was just curious to know if I could take the Wi-Fi and LTE indicator from one theme and add it to another? I like the indicators from Bobcats theme, but am using Blak X for my theme and its just white bars.
I did look around for answers, and couldn't find anything that seemed to match what I was asking. Any help or direction would be appreciated, and clearly I am new to this, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted anyone's time if this was asked differently and answered.
Just some guidance is all I'm looking for.
Thanks-
Wow... nobody has answered yet? Yes, you can. They are simply png's in systemui, but it can only be used for personal uses

I've seen build prop edits that semi worked. So I should be able to pull the pngs from another system ui zip it up and flash?
Have you ever used 7zip? You will have to do it on a computer, but you don't even have to unzip your rom or decompile the systemui.apk. Right click on the zip, choose open archive with 7zip, then navigate within the folders to systemui and simply replace the pngs. You will need to make sure they are named exactly the same though
Team BlackOut... or Back Out
Btw, you could also use root explorer too, but I've never used it before so not sure how people go about doing it that way

Yeah, nobody answered lol.. till now. Thanks @Train88 and @neopolotin75 for your replies and guidance.
@Train88 I tried using root explorer early on and kinda fumbled stuff up in there. I did see using 7zip before and finally had the time to dl it to the pc.
@neopolotin75 I appreciate the offer, I just wanted the guidance. If you have the time, I'd appreciate it, if not no worries.
All of these themer's do so much already and produce such amazing work, I wanted to just know/learn how to do simple mods to my ROM without the burden of someone having to do it for me.
Thanks again :good:
Team BlackOut rocks BTW :good:

i found these high res icons on deviantart. they look freaking awesum but i have no idea how to place them on my hero to replace the default icons. anybody have a clue how to do it or maybe you can use them.
http://bharathp666.deviantart.com/art/Android-Icon-Templates-150559012
heres the zip of them too. i dunno if someone can make these so we can flash them or maybe make an apk file?
they are the 2.1 icons. if you go into the market and search android 2.1 you will find the icon pack. only hitch is you have to have bettercut to use them
I would like to see a rom cooked with these icons though as I like them better than the stock 1.5

gbhil's 1.6 AOSP ROM has them cooked in BTW... couldn't you just open the PSD files in Photoshop, save them as .png (or w/e they have to be), then add them in following the tutorial for skinning Fresh 1.1?

Same here, but they are actually nice once you install the HTC IME and push the Googlebits to it. I just wish I could get SMS working haha.

well according to this thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/wallpapers-ringtones-themes/5231-icon-packs.html you can use that zip file and flash it like any other add on. i tried and got an error about google signing missing or something? i just wondered if anybody could look into it and maybe make something we can flash or even an apk we can install on our hero's? i really don't want a homescreen replacement as ive tried panda and didn't like it. i just want to change the icons up.
sorry guys im not trying to be a pain but like others i have my hero set up like i want but the only missing thing is changing the icons up. id try to make an apk or zip i can flash but i have no clue where to start and probably don't have time tonight to do it. the funny thing is in that link i posted "where i got the zip from" he says you can flash this but when i tried i got an error half way through.
plus the fact im new to the hero and im still learning this stuff.

just download bettercut and the android 2.0 icon pack if you want the easiest way to do it
If it needs to be signed, I'm pretty sure you can do that in Flipz's pre-kitchen. Once I finish my homework (high school ) I'll see if I can sign the .zip and then I'll upload it.

jus signing the zip isnt going to do anything as it is just an image file. for it to actually change the icons you would have to go into framwork-res on the rom you are useing change the icon pngs inside the correct apk. then add an update script and zip and sign it.

i don't know much, but in that zip contains all the png's already. i assume we would just have to make a script to execute the install? i dunno just a thought as im clueless about it.

I don't know but you want to use a framework-res.apk from a Samsung Note? You do understand not only that framework-res.apk is for another device, its for a modded framework of a rom for another device. Unless you want to crack open the apk and look at the code/images but even the images wouldn't work I think. Update.zip won't help you, needs to be properly ported.
Cheers

I am no themer or dev. So I don't know. I've never really looked much in to the xml files in the apk either so I wouldn't know. Everything can be ported with enough knowledge, patience and time

Have a ROM I'm playing about with but want to go more in depth. Needs backsmali so we can figure it out ans tweak. But I have limited knowledge. Anyone want to help out?
Thanks,

you want to backsmali what? If it's an apk or jar file than use apk manager, it gives you the option to either just unpack the file, decomplie it as well as backsmali.

Most things can be manipulated easily within xml files without backsmali, you just need some xlm knowledge.
what are you trying to acomplish with this mod?

Anyone know of a working smaller navbar mod (not using xposed) that works on MHC19I ? or able to point me in the direction of guide that allows me to attempt to make one myself ?
Looking to stay stock+rooted, rather than a custom rom.
TIA
EDIT - I've modified framework-res.apk for MHC19I - Grab it here. Mod changes navbar to 24 instead of 48 height.
* Backup your original /system/framework-res.apk and replace it with the download.
I'd recommend to flash resurrection remix rom where you can set the navbar to 24dp.

U can make it by editing framework-res.apk
Decompile framework-res.apk then go to res/values/dimens.xml there u can change it.

So I've decompiled and made the edit, recompiled and signed the apk, pushed it to my device and replaced the original.. but now it just sits on the bootup logo animination and I cant get past that stage.
Hopefully you have a backup that you can restore. If not, push the stock framework via adb

Has anyone taken the time to change deodex the SystemUI_ZTE file and making the edits to enable 3minit functionality yet? If so let me know, if not I am gonna work on it in the next few days. The pain was deodex odex files from what I remember, anyways thanks!

I can upload any deodex, file you may need to get to work,
I try but no luck and been short in time to keep trying.
P.S. B29.Community ROM & Dmix7 or any ROM base on both of my ROM are deodex.
If you can get me the the the deodex SystemUI_ZTE file I can get the other files needed if not I may have time to deodex it myself I just remember that deodex for odex file was a pain and I will have to teach my self how to do it again.

Well I got the files and made the changes and flashed and it.... Didn't work. Now when I was in one of the XML files making some edit I noticed that ZTE pulls it's battery file from another app kind of like 3minit does. So the problem is going to be tracking that down and making some more edits... Error oh well the standard procedure didn't work, but I have not given up it will take longer and I might have to change another app or have one deodexed, but I will let you know.
