Hello,
I'm trying to theme the build in android navigation bar.
I am running standard samsung ROM.
I have made the navbar visible by adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the build.prop.
This with the reason so i can click the buttons with the S-pen. And i can also navigate when using a mouse and keyboard.
The graphics are located in framework-res.apk
I have coppied it to my pc, changed the .png files, put them back in the system/framework and changing permissions back. After a cache wipe i still see the old graphics.
Maybe the graphic files are located somewere else? anybody knows the answer?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My goal is to remove this blue line above the navbar and i want the icons to be white instead of grey.
I also found some of the icons graphics in the SystemUI.apk but not the background with the blue line, this one was located in framework-res.apk..
There is also a twframework-res file in the /system/framework folder. But this one does not contain the navigation bar graphics.
Maybe someone can help me further.
After changing files in the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. Do you have to wipe the cache or is a normal reboot enough to see the changes?
Maybe there is a log tool that can exactly see which processes the phone is running?? Like loading these graphic files etc.
if u are using odex rom, rename the .odex file to whatever extension first, u have the risk to boot loop, if so, adb and rename back the file to .odex
if u are using deodex rom, make sure u are modding the correct image file

From my Galaxy Nexus modding times, the Recent/Home/Back image files are in
"system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi"
I've had a look at my own Note 2 SystemUI.apk and it appears it's the same file layout.
The navigation bar files are:
ic_sysbar_back.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime.png
ic_sysbar_back_land.png
ic_sysbar_highlight.png
ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png
ic_sysbar_home.png
ic_sysbar_home_land.png
ic_sysbar_menu.png
ic_sysbar_menu_land.png
ic_sysbar_recent.png
ic_sysbar_recent_land.png
All i ever did to mod these files on my Galaxy Nexus was:
copy SystemUI.apk to PC
rename to .zip
extract zip contents
edit image files
re-zip all files
rename to SystemUI.apk
I assume it's the same process for the Note 2.
EDIT: Forgot about odex/deodex issue. Post above may be the fix.
Also, if i remember correctly, the framework-res file needs de-compiling/re-compiling to be edited, thus the reason why i only ever edited my SystemUI.apk file.
ic_sysbar_back.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime.png
ic_sysbar_back_land.png
ic_sysbar_highlight.png
ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png
ic_sysbar_home.png
ic_sysbar_home_land.png
ic_sysbar_menu.png
ic_sysbar_menu_land.png
ic_sysbar_recent.png
ic_sysbar_recent_land.png

Those icons are not used on the Note II. Because in that folder all the icons are white but on the Note II the normal state of the icons is grey and when pressed they become white (this is the case with the graphics in the framework-res.apk file).
Also the background with the blue line is not located in the SystemUI.apk but it is located in the framework-res.apk file.
But the weird thing is after editting these graphics they don't change on the phone. Like it has cached the files..
These are the graphics located in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
I have allready swapped the normal <-> pressed text so the normal state should be a white icon. I have also removed the blue line from the tw_navigationbar_bg.png.... But i just can't see them on my phone after copying the new framework-res.apk to my phone..

Ah, ok, fair enough. There goes my limited experience from modding my GNex lol.
This is an awesome mod, any progress? Thanks!
Is there any ways to custom the height of the navigation bar??
The bar is very big for me. Thank you.
Absolutely hating the capacitive buttons on this, it's a massive device, why Samsung left the button that sensitive, i don't know, when you type or hold the device with both hands at the bottom, you end up pressing them with your palm, so to say, you have to always hold the device at the top. Hope you work this out and shut the capacitive buttons.
A way to enable on screen nav bar to open when s pen is taken out would be awesome!
The navbar tweaks and everythink were terrible with the Touchwiz Samsung ROM.
I've moved on to the PACman ROM. Tweaking the navbar to the maximum!
But i think i've found the answer to the buttons not being white but a little bit greyish.. The .png is white but some .xml file says that the buttons should be a little bit transparant. So they turn grey..
What file/image controls the background color of the navigation bar?
Download an app called softkeyz it has awesome themes for navbar.

INSTALLATION
**Disclaimer**
I am not responsible for your phone, or anything that happens to it. Ever.
This apk has been pulled straight from my phone, and its working fine.
(stock rom,black skin installed,clear lock screen,custom skin, rooted)
Have a Nandroid backup
Have a Goldcard
Have recovery
Backup your original apk
Notice: this apk uses images from the Skin: Black , if you do not have it installed you will now have a black notification menu. For maximum colour-compatibility install the black skin first.
Also note that I have changed the pull down tab located at the bottom of the screen shots, I felt this was more appropriate for the theme.
Instructions
push the apk to system/framework
reboot, you should now have a transparent notification screen
Thank you man
Can blank (transparent) part of slide be refilled with black color
p.s. havok, will you do a white skin? So we'll have black and white
Does this work with Gingerbread?
Which file you changed
Thanks
I'll make this for gingerbread, i think its called status background (or similar) inside framework res .apk
Good work..havok make it work for gingerbread..
Transparent status bar
Hi havok
I tried for transparent status bar in res frame work.apk (puting transparent file ) but signing creates problem phone don't start
I have Android signer java application
may be HTC sign different
what i do ?
you can avoid having to sign the apk files again:
1. extract file you wish to edit
2. edit file
3. open apk (NOT extract) using zip manager (e.g 7zip)
4. drag edited file into the correct folder in .apk and replace
5. file should then be ready for adb push. no rezip or re sign needed
please edit for me
hi havok
I use 7 zip but don't work phone stuck at booting
I m uploading a file
replace it frame work.apk /res /drawable-120dpi/statusbar_background.png
please edit & upload working frame work.apk
Thanks
I think it looks nice, but i think that it will be confusing in the last end.
But nice one mate!
I want to make the notification bar transparent so my wallpaper goes to the top edge of the screen.
how do I do this? this appears to be the lockscreen?? maybe I am calling it by wrong name. running 2.2 on TP2 the white bat at the top that has the notification icons and the network battery time info.
I want to make "that" transparent. if the wallpaper does not "go" to the top then I want to "skin" it to match the wallpaper.
I can't use metamorph since that requires busybox and busybox does not work with my build.
use online kitchen, the instructions and the kitchen are here: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Hmm First "CAN" I use this at all.
I am not running an android device "per say"
I am running a windows mobile 6.5 HTC Touch Pro 2 that has android running "ON IT" (from the SD card)
so would this even work for me?
second it says transparency of the notification bar requires Ginger 2.3 I am Froyo 2.2
if I can't make it transparent can I simply replace it with a non transparent bar (I will clip the appropriate pixels from my image and make that "chunk" the notification bar. IE simulate transparency. it will only work for one wallpaper but thats ok.
I don't see an option for this ?
Hello
Where can I find the system/framework in my Galaxy y? Does it need to be rooted? I really want to have a transparent status bar
And were should I put the attached data?

use file eksplore like: file manager, astro, etc ! and most importantly, you must be root in order to access and change the file system
this is a very basic guide to change colors and maybe icons if you've suitable icons..
I don't know anything about signing apks and stuffs but I did the following steps and it worked for me...
THINGS YOU'LL NEED :
7zip
Any Imaging Software that can handle PNG files(I use PHOTOSHOP)
FRAMEWORK-RES.APK file
STEPS :
Right Click on your framework-res.apk
Click 7-zip->Open Archive
go to res folder
Extract drawable-mdpi anywhere on your pc
edit the files you want with your imaging software and save them
now drag the modified files to the drawable-mdpi folder in the zip file
Open the drawable-mdpi folder in your zip file
select the modified files, hold and drag to the zip archive and leave it
it will ask you to add the files or not
just click yes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Close the file
Push your framework into your phone
(I use Xrecovery mode for pushing it, cuz its safe)
Code:
[B]busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk[/B]
---------------------------END------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT TIPS
if you're upto modifying colors than you may notice that some files have extension .9.png they need special way to edit (actually not so special lol)
just open them in your imaging program
you'll notice few black dots and black border
something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
keep those black things as they are, and mess around with the other colors
-----------------------------END QUOTE----------------------------------
for now I've just tested this with colors and few icons and it works
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if anyone needs this framework (I changed the green color to orange, changed the lock symbol to stock it was too small and colored some of the network indicators from white to green lol)
FRAMEWORK-RES.APK.7z
Good. i tried to change the xml files. but the process needed me to use apktool to decompile the framework-res.apk.
when i used original framework-res-apk, it decompiled successfully, but when I used gingerbread framework-res.apk by pulpoff, errors about the .9.pngs occur.

nice work. can you explain how to change battery icon, i want it show percent, like 58% in front of the icon. i think that's what people need most
I see now, that in framework 'res' folder, in 'drawable-land-mdpi', we have stock layouts of Lock Screen (i mean, stock bar for unlock move and sound).
How can I set it to default? I don't like that SE original LockScreen theme...
Find all the icons named as SEMC_slidingtab and replace them the way you want

Ok has anyone managed to (successfully) change their battery icon on 2.2.1. I've tried various times but it always ends in boot loops or no battery indicator at all. They've mostly come from the UOT Kitchen, but I've no idea how to properly 'install' them as such.
Any ideas?
There is an app for sgs to change battery icon. Maybe that app can help you.

Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
sgs is hdpi it wont work
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
it will end up in your user folder, mine is Mark
get that apk and extract it using 7zip or other program
look in the folder drawable-mdpi folder and you will see towards the end a bunch of battery icons representing the amount of charge.
replace those files with those from another theme or rom.
once done then create a folder called res and put all extracted folders in there.
then put the res folder in a new folder called framework-res.
place framework-res (and this xml file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18706196/BattIcon.xml) in a zip called BattIcon
on your phone go to market and get metamorph.
copy the zip made earlier onto your sd card in a folder called AndroidThemes.
open metamorph and select unzip theme, unzip the file you added
then click select theme and choose the folder and tap the xml inside.
a popup will come just click ok then click apply all another popup will come just hit ok
it will apply and may ask to restart or it may do itself.
voila icon changed
same proccess used for theming

Thanks, I'll give it a try once I get to a computer, just one question, the stock battery icon goes down in 10%, would it make a difference if I then added a battery icon that moves in 1%?

Well it would probably make the battery icon flash when on screen. But what you can do is, say the battery icon is meant for 1% accuracy then you can use the more accurate icons and place them on the 10% blocks so you can see where your battery is more clearly. Does that make sense?
I am running Alien Rom #4, and I am trying to change the Text Message icon from the smiley face to the the Icon from the Droid 3 system dump. I was able to change the Browser icon just fine, but the text message icon is alot trickier. I can't find the proper apk file to edit.

You can change icons with adw or go launcher. I use adw ex because it supports icon packages and allows you to resize your icons.
I am using the stock launcher, so I need to find a way to change the icon in the apk file.
should be Messaging.apk
That is the three I have been tinkering with. When I go into system/app on my phone the apk with the smiley icon is Conversations.apk. I have copies of both on my pc and I can't find the icon in the drawable-hdpi folder or anywhere else in the apk. That is where i am stumped is finding the icon. Thanks for your input.
try looking in SystemUI.apk and framework-res in the drawable-hdpi folder
Solved!
Alright I finally found where the icon was hidden. It was in system/framework inside the blur-res.apk. I swapped out the icons and rebooted, now I have the droid 3 text messaging icon instead of the smiley face.
I changed the app launcher icon and dock background inside of blurhome.apk as well.

How u swapped icons?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I used ES file explorer and did the following.
-Copied Blur-Res.apk
-Put it on my PC and added .zip to the end of it
-went into res folder then into drawable hdpi
-find the smiley face icon
-named the droid 3 icon the same as the smiley face icon
-replace the icon after renaming it
-put the blur-res.apk on my phone sd card
-remove the .zip so it is an apk file again
-copy and paste new blur-res.apk into system>app file on your phone.
-reboot
Beware this will erase some of your data, almost like a factory reset. so back up bofore you try.

Added .zip. also remember to remove the .zip on your phone after your finished changing things.
Where do you find the blur-res.apk
Its in system > app folder. You can really mess up your phone digging around in the system folder so be careful. Make back ups!
Here is a dropbox link to the modified blur-res.apk that I used on my phone. Use at your own risk. Just remove the .zip

What picture did you use to edit the dock to be dark?
I can't remember where, so her is the modded file from my phone. Its the blur home apk. Just do the same as the blur-res.apk from before. Remove the. Zip and put in system> app.

After many flashes and dead batteries I finally figured this out and it was not fun!
Seeing it is a little out of the ordinary I wanted to share my findings for anyone else wanting this mod.
First you need the m10 tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060648
You will also need Rosie.apk for the navbar and Idlescreen_Base.apk for the lockscreen shortcut backgrounds depeding on what you are changing. These are in the system/app/ directory of the rom zip.
Open m10 tools, and select Rosie.apk.
Once decompiled, find the Rosie_navbar.m10 file.
Expand the file until you see the options shown in the screenshot below.
On the data circled in red change the opacity from "1" to "0". (you can also change it to any value in-between like 0.5 for half transparent)
Make sure you select the data how it is shown in the screenshot or else other images will disappear!!
Once done with the edits save and m10 tools will repackage Rosie.apk.
Then push the new Rosie.apk to your phone or install via a flashable zip.

}
This is essentially the same process for the lockscreen shortcut backgrounds.
Open m10 tools again, and select Idlescreen_Base.apk.
Once decompiled, find the Lockscreen_Shortcut.m10 file.
Expand the file until you see the options shown in the screenshot below.
On the data circled in red change the opacity from "1" to "0"
Make sure you select the data how it is shown in the screenshot or else other images will disappear!!
Once done save and m10 tools will repackage the apk.
Then push the new apk to your phone or install via a flashable zip.
One incase anything else comes up :fingers-crossed:
Thank you for sharing.
Same to you zhp pilot, you've been pumping out some good stuff!
I don't know if I have something personal against those images :laugh: or If its just the fact it looks so much cleaner without them.
Nice discovery
Thanks
With the screen shots this was a real easy mod to apply.
should this work for any htc phone running sense 3.6? i have an evo 3d running the "cool-ics-v10-evoc" rom and when my phone loads i get a black screen with the notification bar at the top. if i put the stock idlescreen_base.apk back in and leave the modded rosie it loads to the lock screen but when i unlock i get the white screen with the htc logo and thats as far as it goes. if someone could please help i would really like to learn how to do this...
did you fix permissions when you replaced the apks?
No I didn't. Sorry. I'm a complete noob to all this. I honestly don't know how to do that yet...

Long press the apk with the file explorer you used, assuming that's what you did. You should see an option for permissions. Make it rw-r--r--. If that's confusing then check the permissions on another apk in the system folder. Just make yours match the existing. If you didn't replace the apk via a file explorer, more info on your method would be helpful.
After making changes to the apk I saved it to my desktop. Opened the rom I was working with and replaced it there while on my computer. Then reflashed the rom to my phone. Made a copy of the rom first in case it didn't work I could easily go back to the working one... Which is what I'm using now.

Oh. Well nevermind the permissions thing then. Doing it that way would have set them correctly.
Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I tried your transparent nav bar from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814171
But it didn't do anything for me. Once the phone rebooted the nav bar looked the same as before...

I have experienced some versions of rosie that are very fussy. After m10 edits i have had to decompile and recompile with apktool (no other edits) just to properly compress the m10

That mod only works on the rezound due the updater script. It specifically uses the mount points for the rezound.
The issue may be due tho the fact your are placing a modified apk into the rom zip. The modified one has a broken signature and/or one that doesn't match the other files. When you boot a rom for the first time, the signatures have to match. After the rom boots once, it no longer does sig checks on the system folder. I would suggest placing the modified apk into a flashable zip and flash it after the rom has booted.
Alternatively, you can adb push Rosie.apk to the phone or manually replace the file with a file explorer that has root access.
If it still doesn't work, then the problem is with the apk itself.
Well...didn't get home till late last night, had to be to work early today, so I didn't really get a chance to try everything. I did try to manually replace the apk using root explorer and after doing that and setting permissions right, pressing the home button did nothing. Pressed back button to back out of root explorer and got to a white screen. And that's it... Tried rebooting my phone, same thing, a white screen... Idk if those other options will work but I'll try when I get home today...

no prob, glad you got it working. The only other thing I was gonna toss out there was if you had signed them but i don't think that m10 tools breaks the signature anyways.
