Great job, pajoneer, thank you! I do prefer the clear, big numbers of Notification Toggle (see screenshot, maybe it will inspire you ), but your solution saves screen real estate. Thanks also for the clear instructions.
BTW, do you know a possibility of turning off the battery display altogether (thereby again saving screen space)?

Sorry for being dense, but how would I do that?
BTW, I have quickly tried my hand at decompiling and recompiling SystemUI.apk, but I'm not really getting anywhere with the tutorials I've found (after copying the compiled apk and rebooting, there is no notification bar...). Would you care to explain how you did it, pajoneer? Or maybe give me an idea of how to go about changing your apks?
Many thanks!

Have tried signing with several methods (including stericsons autosign here, the shortcut method here and with the "official" method here), to no avail. Even if I just decompile your apks and then recompile and push SystemUI.apk to the phone, the notification bar stops working.
Must have done something wrong, but I don't yet know what. With ApkTool, I have followed the usual procedure described e.g. here.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

you must copy framework-res.apk to system folder first and change permission not directly to system/framework because you will have bootloop

i never had a bootloop with a modded framework. Tell me the procedure you did!
First I tried just copy/pasting the files from the minimal matte theme over to the respective folders inside framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk.
Then I made it an apk file, and copied it back over, it failed. So I tried unsuccessfully to resign it, and I couldn't get that to work. So I tried to make one up on this site:
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
But again it failed. I was told to resize all the image files to the correct sizes? Maybe that would make a difference? :S
Because the guide I was looking at was to make your entire ROM, and all I wanted to do is just resign the specific APK
I was watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWojkrirek
I've been using this to resign apks...

Mate theme files are like drawable-MDPI and G3 is LDPI so you should try to find same images in MDPI (from mate theme) and in LDPI (from your apk u want to modify) and then overwrite them. It should work tho.

Rekooo can you check this out for me? It's the framework-res.apk that I created. I can't tell what's wrong with it..
Edit:: I think they're all the same image size.. Also, would having extra files be a bad thing? I can't figure out for the life of me what's wrong! :S
Holdon, that was really stupid of me... I fixed the APK because the last one I uploaded I realized the directories were all wrong. But this one still doesn't work.
Edit:: I'm guessing it's signed wrong? Or what could be the issue..
Edit:: Got phone to boot, but everything Force closes.. Omg is this ever the biggest pain in the butt ever???

No need to Sign. Just resize and replace icons in MDPI and LDPI folders in the framework. Open apk with 7zip and just replace both folders.

I'm trying I guess I'm mistakenly not resizing some of them properly.. :S I'll keep trying!!!
Edit:: Problem is that on Lestatious ROM the framework-res has weird 20x38 dimensions, and the minimal matte has 25x25 dimensions, it's hard to resize properly. I'm going to try a different base framework.

I'm taking a break for a bit. Then I'll try again in a bit so frustrating! Lol Should I only change the LDPI or should I modify the LDPI AND the MDPI?
Okay, I've been testing, and you don't even need to resize the images for the LDPI res folder. So I've currently modded the LDPI res folder successfully. I simply use this command to copy existing folders over:
Code:
cd %USERDIRECTORYtowhereyouwantthesourcefilestogo%
Code:
xcopy "C:\userdirectoryTOSOURCEFILES" /U
The /U paramter in windows command prompt makes sure that only files that EXIST in BOTH destination folders will be copied over. Thus eliminating adding extra files and possibly screwing up the framework-res.apk, which I think I was doing before.
I'm going to try modding twframework-res.apk and the MDPI folder and then we'll see how that goes!
Okay, i've successfully modded a lot of things now...
I've got a couple questions:
1. Where are the settings icons? Is it in twframework-res? And where?
2. Where are the dialer button icons? I want a transparent dialer...
3. Where are the contact icons (the default contact icons)
Thank you for ALL your help arunmcops
EDIT:: Okay, I found the settings icons in Settings.apk, I found the dialer button icons in DialerTabActivity.apk, and I haven't modded contacts yet.
Almost done though, I THINK
Finally, finished. Theme released here:

There are several files inside the zip. Do we have to copy files to corresponding system folders and set permission individually or can we flash the zip through recovery after removing the build.prop?

We must have to flash it through cwm and then edit the build.prob.
If we move all the files to their respective location then while moving files to system/framework the framework.apk will be replaced and then it will start force close the rootexplorer and we wont be able to set its permission to 644!! Thus framework will get changed and we will be unable to change its permission and also we cant open setting and many other things that are framework dependent!!! finally we need to factory reset or reinstall the rom!
It happened with me so I'm warning you!!!
So just flash the file then after edit the build.prob using cwm as this app integration needs to replace the framework!!

Hi guys
as the title says, how can I change the background (often blue one) when you view the settings, contacts, etc?
I know it's something about the framework-res.apk, res/drawable-hdpi/semc_bg.png. But I think there's more to edit.
I've got the image to change, my problem right now is what respective files to change in the framework-res. and also how to install it to the phone
Can someone help me? a nice step-by-step process will help me alot, especially for a big noob like me
Thanks a lot, in advance
Replace the semcbg.png file in the semcgenericUxpres.apk
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Thanks dude ^^ You sure it's this one? none at framework-res? how to edit it , and bring it back to the phone?
there has 2 option to do this..
1-use PC/laptop (winrar/7zip,,,and the new image)
2-use your phone (root explorer,,and the image)
with pc/laptop edit the ***.zip (rom) file
just replace all of semcbg.png every where I mean on framework-res.apk
and other framework (i'm not sure which rom and/or sometime other rom has extra framework-res.apk) (that why u i told u to replace all of this thing)
and for the update also
(maybe u use it...like 'screenshoot.zip' it containing it own framework)
goodluck buddy!
semc_bg.png is located in two files, framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk. Location for that two files is system/framework. In each of that two files u have two semc_bg.png backgrounds, for normal and for landscape mode. Location of that backgrounds in each of previous .apk files is res/drawable-hdpi and res/drawable-land-hdpi. U can edit apk files with 7zip on ur PC.
Enjoy!
Thanks guys!
for example, I finished all the editing stuffs
How will I put it back to the phone? since it is an .apk, will I install that thru package installer? or what? just put the new edited framework-res.apk/semcgenericuxpres.apk in the phone, and reboot and the effects will take place?
You will need to use Root Explorer. Follow these steps:
Make a backup of the original APKs frst!
Copy the edited APKs from your SDCARD to your /system folder. (Yes, the "/System" folder)
Use Root Explorer to set the permissions to RW-R--R--
Once the permissions are set, CUT the files and paste in "/system/framework"
It will ask if you want to overwrite, go ahead and overwrite the files.
Reboot.
Or find empty flashable zip file,put framework files in it and flash via xrecovery.

The same happens when i tried to decompile DefaultThemes.apk & MusicWidget.apk they both were not installed...
then i searched & found that we have to compress the resources.arc blablablaaa... & signing with recompiling system apk..
Still after giving a lot of tries i dont understand how to use signing & compress resources.arc blablaballl idk..
If you know than may be you can teach

Well, I am a bit on the busy side.... I assume you didn't try my tool then?
To do this manually, you need to first recompile your apk after you've done all your changes. You already know this bit.
Then:
Make a copy of the old apk
Use 7zip to open both the copy and the recompiled apk
Drag the 'res' folder from the recompiled apk to the copy
Close the copy
Extract 'resources.arsc' from the recompiled apk
Add 'resources.arsc' to the copy, selecting 'STORE' compression
Close the recompiled apk
Open the copy and check that resources.arsc has the same size and packed size
Reboot the phone and go into recovery
Mount the /system partition
Push the apk straight to the right folder
Unmount the /system partition
Reboot the phone
Wait for it all to load
Wait a bit longer
Wait a bit longer still
And you're done.
If you've pulled the app from the phone to a Windows PC then you don't need to worry about permissions. That's only when you copy the app to your sdcard or pull the app using Linux.
Going into recovery might not be needed. Pushing system apps while the phone is running can cause some nasty bugs so I always use recovery just to play it safe. You'll need to reboot most of the time anyway to see the changes you've made.
Instead of pushing, you could make a flashable zip. As an amazing coincidence, Tickle My Android can do that too.

Excellent. I'm glad it helped.
Technically, you could use any archival program but it has to be one that lets you add files to an archive without compressing them. I find 7zip to be fairly quick and user-friendly. Plus, it's free which is always a good thing.

I don't know. I don't even know if winrar can do it. That's why I suggested using 7zip instead.
To check sizes, just open the app (again, this is using 7zip) and look at the numbers to the right of resources.arsc. One is the original size of the file, the other is the size it's been compressed to. These need to be the same.

Leme have my hands on some app..
Edit : I tried this but when ever i put it back to sdcard and look at it the app loses its icon ( just a green android logo ) and when i put it in syste\app with proper permission & then restart it doesn't install and even i tried to install as normal apk then it says parse problem..
What i am doing wrong i followed the same procedure above & also the size of resources is same.

I got your pm asking me to reply to this. I do most of my android modding stuff during spare moments at work because I don't have the time at home so I'd have gotten round to answering this in time.
I'm not sure what you're doing wrong here. Since you're got my tool installed, try using that first. If that works, then we know that there's something going wrong with the manual procedure and we can fix it.
If it doesn't work, then there's something wrong with the mod you're doing and we need to fix that instead.

To be honest, I don't know how to change the name of an app. It's something I've never done before.
I suspect that you've gotten the mod wrong somewhere but unfortunately I can't advise on where that could be.
Sorry, mate.
First of all sorry for my english
Now question: How can I change my LockScreen Icons from stock to look like this one?
(I really was looking for some kind of info in and out the forum but didn't find anything)
Thank you anyway
I think you want to change which icons are used? Don't worry, I had the same problem finding the location too.
Go to:
Settings, Security and Lock Screen, Lock Screen Options, Shortcuts.
How this helps!

you would have to change the icon in apk itself unless someone creates a mod which allows changing them.
res/drawable-xhdpi

1. Pull the apk from your phone to PC (Use root explorer or something similar) - ex. SecPhone.apk for changing Phone icon
2. add ".zip" to its name at the end.
3. Open with winzip
4. find and replace the old icon with new one
Which apk is the lockscreen apk?
You need to pull the SystemUI.apk from \System\APP folder in your ROM or flashable rom file
then open the .APK with Winzip
goto res/drawable-xhdpi folder and edit the Icons as wanted,
Delete the SystemUI.zip from the flashable ROM
Click add ZIP and re add the new SystemUI.zip to the flashable package
Go into CWM and Flash
New try
