Theming the status bar icons - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've been searching far and wide for an answer, but I'm unable to find one. I'm running the Resurrection Remix 7.1.1 Nougat ROM and I'm slightly disappointed with the color customization options in comparison to my old LG Optimus G Pro running BlissPop 5.1.1.
Does anyone have an effective way of changing the status bar icon colors without using a buggy third party app? I understand the colors can be changed in one of the theme XML files, but I can't seem to find them (they aren't located under the directories most forums are stating they are). Anyone know where these XML files are and which values to change?
I appreciate it!

Stock Android Icons??

Does anyone have a link to, or a suggestion as to how, I can use the stock android icons with the themes already posted here (in particular, the Reloaded Remix theme).
The themes are great, but I've always been a much bigger fan of the stock android icons than any of the other icon packs out there.

How to Change Colour Scheme

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a module that allows you to be able to change the aqua/cyan/blueish/green colour when you go into phone, appears in calls, the top boarder of the text messages and the settings background colour. If anyone could tell me a download that allows you to change it I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.
There probably isn't such a thing. The closest approximation is probably Xposed framework or the Wanam module that change a few dozen specific elements e.g. status bar colour or clock colour. But I don't recall them tackling any of the phone screens.
The other places to search are the Play Store and XDA. You're unlikely to find anything more comprehensive than the Xposed collection of tweaks though since there is no API that would make it easy to change system theme colours. Instead Themers make changes here and there and some of that gets adopted or developed in parallel in Xposed.
You could browse or search XDA for themed phone packages. Perhaps there is one that appeals to you. But an app that lets you dial in custom colours is unlikely. Xposed is the notable exception if it has any phone related settings.

[Q] Customizing Status Bar Icons

I've noticed there isn't any mods to replace the status bar icons with custom png's as has been done with other custom roms. How would one go about to accomplish this. Really don't like the bland icons in Marshmallows ui. The only xposed module available is for Samsung touchwiz phones. Did a search to see if there was a guide online and at Xda, but could not locate one for Android 6.0.
There are CM themes and Layers mods that offer different status bar icons.

RRO layers overlays provide a pretty easy way to theme your phone on MM. Here's a collection that might be worth a look for what you're after.
If you start using layers be sure to make a backup before applying any, or learn how to delete overlays manually from the TWRP file manager. I've rendered my UI unusable a few times with layers. Like most things, you need a bail out plan in case things go wrong.

Aside from flashing a CM rom which actually has colorful icons in their themes, there's a lot of different white versions of icons for stock based Android roms. Was looking for more colorful icons like the previous Real Icons Theme use to provide.
Yes you can change the color to all blue or some other color, but you can't get different "colorful" icons.

It's Blue Hydra. I did tweak the blue a little bit with Xposed. The hex code I use is ff222cff.

Can't Find Lockscreen Source Code building rom

I've been developing and customizing custom ROMs for a few months now, using mainly AOSP, Lineage and now I'm working on my own version of HalogenOS. But one thing has alluded me, I can't find the location of the layout of the lockscreen and how to edit it! I just want to change the font, color, size, layout etc. But I can't find it anywhere!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for reading through my problems!
Edit: I know Keyguard is associated with the lockscreen but I'm still having troubles finding the layout of the clock.

[Discussion] Dealing with notch and rounded screen edges

Hi everyone,
I am quite new to the GSI world (never had to worry about it since most of my devices had dedicated custom roms).
But I am testing out GSI with the Lenovo Z5s which have similar design to Mi9 or Mi9 SE, waterdrop notch and rounded edges.
I noticed that the battery logo and clock looks a bit odd and should be shifted a bit. It looks like those cheaper phone from Oukitel, Dogee etc where you can see the battery logo is eaten by the rounded edge and notification icons might go "under" the notch.
Is there any apk app that would work on LOS based custom rom (meaning excluding MIUI, Flyme and other heavily customised rom) that would allow us to adjust position of clock and battery icon just by a little ?
I remember in CM7 we could modify battery settings to be left or right etc so it should not be so hard to modify with relative distance (like CSS % margins on web).
We could then have some kind of db file that would contain all default position values and dead zones for most devices and it would apply settings during install based on model ID from TWRP or fastboot.
New options could also be added to treble settings so each user could adjust it once rom is flashed.
Is there existing solution for this ?
Are there some roms that let us adjust these things ?
If no, do you guys have any suggestions/ideas on how we could address this issue ?
