Hey
How can i change/edit (system) icons like in the status bar, in the menu or something like that..?
Thanks!
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
extract those apk in 7zip or something then look in res>drawable_mdpi
edit those png files.
put res folder back in apk file
I have changed the status bar icons for a few time, and just want to share it to people who wants to personalize it by themselves but don't know how with their own taste without asking the others to do it for them
What you need:
- WinRar
- Gimp 2 - http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
- ADB or something like RootExplorer, I prefer ADB
File to be modified:
SystemUI.apk - you can find it in system/apps/
First, you need to get the SystemUI.apk out of your favorite ROM, I use WinRar, and then you open the apk file also by Winrar. Extract the 'drawable-mdpi' folder in 'res' folder. You will see the icons for back, home, option, etc. in there.
Now, edit the default icon with Gimp 2, open the icon, click Del to remove the image but still keep the template for your new icon. Open the your favorite icon (with Gimp 2 of course), and resize it to the size of the ROM's icon (it's under the Image option), mostly choose Height 48pixel and Width will be set automatically, just remember to look at the size of the default icon. After you resized your favorite icon, just Ctrl + C on your icon and then Ctrl + V on the the template, it will put your new icon to the center of the template. Last step for this is to save it back to the 'drawable-mdpi' folder. I suggest you to use .png icons and save the templates for your future uses FYI, you should have a 'pressed' template.
Last, open the SystemUI.apk and "Added files to ..." to the .apk file, add the modified 'drawable-mdpi' folder to the .apk, then you are done with the SystemUI.apk. If you want to have a fresh ROM flash, then just put the modified SystemUI.apk back to the ROM and flash; or you can "adb push" it to your tablet or over-write it, then you restart your tablet to see the change
That's it, first time you try it, it's going to take sometimes, but after you have all the templates ready, it's gonna be so quick for you to make any changes.
Let me know if you have any question, I'm no expert in Graphic Designing or Programming but will try to answer your questions

how can i add image to statusbar pulldown background??
edit the png to which the expanded background relates to
once you find that png you can edit it and add what ever image you want
if its a stock based rom you might want to run it through uot kitchen
there you can select a background with an image on already so it will be easier to spot it and then edit that image
however uot kitchen is currently offline probably due to it being upgraded but the address is
