To customize the looks, you probably need to extract the systemUI.apk from your phone and change the png's with that of ICS in order to change icons of the Status bar. There are also more themeing that you can do with it, and you could get many guides about it within XDA on how to do all those stuffs and have a look in Android Themes section.
Thanks dude!

This should do the trick http://uot.dakra.lt/ You just upload the relevant files to your rom, works with everything, it takes you through everything.
ok i gave it a shot as i thought i failed i have grifs cyangen rom i used the kitchen clicked transparency in status bar, hdpi uploaded framework and systemui but no luck in transparant statusbar if i upload the 2 required files would someone be so kind?
oh forgot to add i rebooted into clockwork recovery mounted the phone then installed the zip file.
There are some mods in the themes and apps subforum which already prepares it for you

All things except lockscreen worked from the UOT kitchen.. but before doing kitchen use your own firmware framework files rather than attached ones ...
For transparent status bar ur launcher should support the transparency...
Btw golauncher and laucherpro doesnt support status bar transparency....

Hey everyone,
I'm really sorry if this has been posted out there someone, but I did search and I did not find what I was looking for, as this is recent.
So, I've flashed Samsungs latest ICS official ROM, but I really hate the TW UI. Is there anyway I can apply the UI of the official ICS ?
I'm not refering to launchers skins, as they do not to a total makeover like the menu's, diallers, and such.
I do not want to flash another rom since I don't want to delete anything.
If so, to what do I point to ? Mod's or theme's ?
Thanks in advance

Asked and answered your own question.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you will have to apply a new Theme.

Thanks ctomgee,
I know this is really noob, but I don't know the difference between a Mod or a theme or which is which..
And since I was having doubts and I do not want another ROM, I thought It would be wise to ask.
Thanks !

Mod is short for modification. (duh) Refers to anything that is changed from stock, really.
Theme (which technically is also a mod) refers to a whole set of framework, icon, color, and graphic changes. For example, there are themes out there that just change all the icons, etc. on Gingerbread, to look like ICS, without actually having ICS.
Of course, a theme still won't change your launcher... so you'll still have the TW launcher. Unless you install a third party launcher, like LauncherPro, GoLauncher, ADW, or other.
Hi guys. Galaxy Ace 2.3.6, rooted, successfully uninstalled several system apps (allshare, samsung apps, etc.), and using a market-downloaded launcher.
Now I want to customize my Ace even more without installing a custom ROM. I know some people do it via ADB. Is this possible with Ace? Suppose I already have the SDK and ADB installed, then what? Can anyone provide step by step instructions, please?
Like if I wanted to make the pull-down menu (where the shortcuts of wifi, bluetooth, sound, gps, and auto-rotate are located) semi-transparent, I think it's possible with ADB, I just don't know how to go about it.
Also, changing the font color and font size, for example.
Many thanks!
Complicated

I know it's for HTC Desire, so I'm asking if it would work on Galaxy Ace.
I can't find similar tutorials for Ace.
If anyone knows how to do it, please teach me. =)
Thank you!
Its deconpiling the apks

Get apk tool. Now you can decompile apps to edit graphics and code.
Inside the res folder you find graphics. Edit them with a good program and you can change transparency, colors, whatever.
SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk Have the notification and Status bar. Also check UOT Kitchen, make changes and compare to the original files.
Other apks for UI changes include Settings.apk, dialer, diáltab, Shutdown, etc.
Just dive in and experiment. As long as you got a Backup youll be alright.

dxppxd, have you done all that with your galaxy ace?
I have succesfully put a semitransparent Black Status bar, changed the looks of many icons (including check boxes, circles, the USB mass storage android picture, etc ) and changed the toggles icons to ICS style (I took the ones from tj_droids ICS stock theme).
Also got the ddkq8 lockscreen with centered clock, and added status bar icons from UOT Kitchen.
I'll post my framework and systemui apks later today (stock ddkq8) when I get home so you can open them and check them out (compare the files inside them with your own). Changing graphics is easy all you really need is winrar or 7zip and a graphics editor . Adding more settings, expanded menus, etc, that's the complicated part, you need apk tool.
Check this great tut

I've searched a lot on this forum but couldn't find a modded Touchwiz for the leaked LSJ 4.1.2, all found are for ICS so they cannot be used.
I would like to remove the icon labels from the homescreen and from dock icons and reduce the number of screens from 7 to 3.
Does anyone have one already modded or can guide me to modify mine using apktool? (I also read on this forum that the smali file needs to be modified somehow).
Thank you!

No, the one Moded for ICS will not wrk on JB ma8.
Try posting ur issue on 'Themes and apps' section and see, if some Themers over there might help u out
These are Theme templates for the people that like to change things up without haveing to flash a whole ROM.
They only contain the app, font, and framework folders for the system. AGAIN THIS IS NOT A ROM.
You can use this for a couple of diffrent things:
1. dodex a stock rom
2. return a themed rom back to stock deodexed
3. Create your own theme w/o building a whole ROM.
Have fun and happy themeing
YES, i know things like this are kind of outdated but i'm set in my ways and still use them. So, if you use them, please hit the thanks button.
