Sorry for the noob question. This morning, I tried to fool around with system/app/systemui.apk using ninjamorph, but I kept messing stuff up and having to restore from my TWRP backup. Any ideas?
change the drawables in the systemui.apk i do it outside with 7zip...im no themer by any means but ive fooled around with a few things
Thanks for the advice. It led me to search for more info on 7zip and I found this post:

As for editing xml values you can simply copy the xml file out and edit it using your favourite editor and then copy them back in.
Hope I was able to help some OS X users.
/edit By the way, this method (WinRar or muCommander) also works for editing update.zip. This means you can customise the rom (add/remove system apks, change the boot animation etc) before you flash it.
The one thing I'm having trouble with is the green bars on the bottom of the notification toggles. I can't find where they're at.

In a root file explorer (I use esfile) move the systemui.apk to system>app ... It will ask you to replace the existing file ..chose yes. Then reboot. (It will start force closing ...don't panic...work through the warnings and reboot).

Ok so I wanna start off by saying that I'm not new to flashing roms/kernels/themes however... I have never tried to edit a theme..
I am currently running BAMF 1.5 and I love everything about the rom except the battery percentage icon.. I find myself OCD'ing about the battery drain if I can sit there and watch % by %..
I did attempt this but was not successful.. What I did was downloaded BAMF 1.5_debloated which is totally stock.. went into the framework-res.apk pulled the battery.png's... I then went into the framework-res.apk of BAMF 1.5, deleted the battery icons 0-100 (1%-100%), and replaced them with the png files that do no have a battery % on them. saved the framework-res.apk and then basically placed it back in the whole rom which i then reflashed.. what i found was that while the phone was charging it looked fine (did not edit these icons) but once i removed the charger the battery icon just dissapeared..
to make it a bit easier to follow.. essentially i grab the battery png files from one ROMS framework-res.apk and replaced another ROMS framework-res.apk battery pngs with them..
my question is basically, am i even close to accomplishing my goal or am i waaaayyyy off??
thanks in advance!

2 options:
you will have to decompile the the apk using apk manager or the like. or you can cheat and take a xml from a rom that is completely stock and replace it in your modded apk. and throw it back in the rom and flash

Part of the reason is that the stock ROM doesn't have 100 battery icons.
Another option would be to replace the icons with a set that don't have the numbers on them.
I personally don't care for the numbers either, that's one of the first things I change.

If you deleted the battery icons and then put the battery icons from a stock ROM then you don't have all of the icons.
The stock ROM doesn't have 100 battery icons.
It goes like: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100
Or something similar.
Open your edited apk and double check your numbers.
Other than that, did you use 7zip or winzip?

Thanks, and how do I "drop it" in my framework-res.apk file? Is it like a zip file that you can unzip and rezip?
I am making a request to any modders out there that can remove the 4g notification icon when you have 4G on. I want to be able to use 4G but not see the icon there when not using it.
A mod for this was done for the evo 4G and an example and more clarification of the mod I want done can be viewed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883088
so basically if that could be ported over to the evo 3D that would be great

If you delete the png you also need to delete it also in public.xml and for that the apk needs to be decompiled compiled an resigned. An easier way would be to make the png transparent.

I did the smali edits....it worked on my phone...give me a minute, ill upload it..
This is the done the proper way, as in it will not only hide it, but it won't take up space in the status bar when the notification "would" be there, like invisible icons and such would
EDIT:
DISCLAIMER:I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause, though it hasn't caused any FC's or any ill-effects on my phone yet.
Install Instructions:
1. Download zip, put on SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
4. Flash zip from recovery
5. Reboot
First bootup will take a while, but as long as there's no bootloop, just be patient.
This will remove the "4G Still on" or whatever it says when you're not connected to 4G, but your 4g radio is still on
Hide 4G Notification
And this will return you to stock settings if there's any problems...

Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app
Here are orange themed SystemUI and framework-res. I made these from the April 12 nightly. I'm not sure if they will work with any other versions of CM9. Definitely make a nandroid backup before you try them. You can push them via adb or copy them to /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework.res.apk using something like Root Explorer. If you use something like Root Explorer mount the folder read/write, copy the files, and make sure the permissions are rw-r--r-- like the other files in those folder. Then, simply reboot.
I'm not sure if I'll get around to ever theming any more stuff orange, but it can't hurt to let me know stuff I missed or did wrong.
Enjoy!

Updated!
Updated for the 20120418 official nightly...and zipaligned this time
SystemUI.apk - It adds a new set of battery icons with a little keyboard. I assume that is for when you have an external keyboard attached.
Trebuchet.apk (NEW) - Orange theme added for homescreens and appdrawer. It also replaces the blue architecture wallpaper with an orangified version. It's pretty hideous though. I'll try to come up with something better at some point.
framework-res.apk - Now available and hopefully working too. I've never had any success copy/pasting framework-res. I always have to use adb.

No worries. I'm not really sure I'll be able to keep up with updating this anyway. It's kind of a pain. Hopefully, CM9 Reloaded will support tablets soon.
The newest nightly has Theme Chooser for CM9. Hopefully, someone will make an orange theme. I don't yet know how to make Theme Chooser themes.
I dont know how to make a flashable zip but heres the system UI with the flat black tool bar in place.
Must be rooted-I did this on ODEX so im not sure if it really matters.
Just rename the original SystemUI.apk as SystemUI.apkbak
then copy the SystemUI.apk from this thread into the system/apps folder and fix permissions,then restart your phone.
I know this is minor and this is a dirty way to do this but like I said I dont know how to make a flashable zip.

I have not done anything at all. I actually like the blue one you made as well. I like it the way it is in that pic but if removing the clock is a pain it wouldn't bother me

I dont know how to make a flashable zip but heres the system UI with the flat black tool bar in place.
Must be rooted-I did this on ODEX so im not sure if it really matters.
Just rename the original SystemUI.apk as SystemUI.apkbak
then copy the SystemUI.apk from this thread into the system/apps folder and fix permissions,then restart your phone.
I know this is minor and this is a dirty way to do this but like I said I dont know how to make a flashable zip.

Just replace the SystemUI.apk in the AOSP style zip with this one using 7zip and rename the zip

I am stuck. I flashed your SystemUI.apk with the blue battery and wanted to revert to my original backup. Now, I don't have a taskbar at all. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: And, I cannot get a wallpaper to work.
Edit2: Even a dirty flash doesn't fix the issue.

You weren't suppose to flash this. It was meant to be pushed to your system folder. I would suggest wipe everything and start over

I know I said flash, but I meant pushed. I adb pushed to /system/app/ and chmod to 644. It worked. Then, I reverted back and that is when stuff went crazy. I think you are right though that I will have to wipe and start over. No worries. Thanks.

Sorry for the headache man.. This was also done on an Odex rom. Not sure if it matters or not.

I am on Odex too. I think your mod works. I probably messed with the Odex file's permissions or something when I reverted. :good: No need for anyone to be afraid, this works as intended. I just was working too fast and not double checking my steps.
I think its time that we have a place for specific TW theming questions on the S4. Post your questions, or answer if you can, and we will build a resource for everyone to use.
I'll ask the first questions. Has anyone found where the image is for the volume and brightness scrubber track?
Aw yeah here we go. I'm going to be utilizing this thread a lot. Never themed touchwiz before haha.

When we change images, do we change the ones under drawable-xhdpi or xxhdpi?

xxhdpi If there aren't any there (or very few) do hdpi as well

I noticed the hdpi thing as well. Also look for images in the drawable folder itself. This usually only contains xml's, but Samsung's apks are a mess when it comes to images.

You got that right about the images lol. Also having so many random things tied into framework and twframework makes finding things a pain. It's taken me days to black out mms, contacts, framework, twframework, and the calculator haha.

I would try if I wasn't stuck looking for what ever is used for the hover preview lol. http://db.tt/ZdKeG7yB
The problem is I don't believe its a standard PNG. The arrow you see actually follows you as your finger moves from side to side, so I have no idea where they put the stupid thing lol
I got one, why is it that when I edit the color on the messaging bubbles, it makes the bubble itself look stretched?

It sounds like you messed with a .9 border
All I did was change the hue. How can I go about it without messing it up?

Changing the hue (if you didn't select only a portion of the image) will change the borders as well. If they aren't solid black, then the image will be jacked up. You can also re-trace over those borders with a pencil tool set to 100% black "ff000000" and that should work too.
Wow, thank you very much sir

Are you decompiling the apk, or just pulling the image out of the apk using 7.zip?
I'm decompiling using apk manager and then modifying the png

OK, thats good.
Are you then recompiling the APK so your .9 image is batched? If not, that's what your missing.
So that's what I'm missing, would you mind explaining how to batch the. 9?

Well the process of recompiling the apk will do it for you. You can then pull that image of of the compiled apk, in the dist folder, and put it into your original to flash in recovery, or push using adb.
There is also a tool somewhere out there that will process the .9 without using apktool, I don't remember what its called tho.
