You must decompile LGSystemUI.apk, then find&replace icons in /res/drawable-hdpi/ folder, must be same size (picture-no data) and type (usually .png).
Some of icons is in lge-res.apk and framework-res.apk. Procedure is same.
Files must be deodexed.
Recompile and enjoy.
Thank you!!

OK,

I downloaded Virtuous ten studio and trying to decompile android.policy.jar, but cant find how to do it.
I opened that jar file through new project but cant figure out what to do next.

Didn't you ask: Please can you guide me how to decompile and recompile LGSystemUI.apk.
So, lets start with that... it is (infinitely) simpler than handling with android.policy.jar.
For beginning, please read and install from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719
All of this you need if you want to use VTS.
That is good base for start and understand this process (and works with kitkat).
And for virtuos ten studio, first you MUST read tutorials at this page: http://virtuous-ten-studio.com/, but if you don't understand base of whole process, VTS is useless.

I think we can decompile and compile apk via any root browser (Extract to decomplie and zip to compile).
Do you know a link where I can get notification bar icons from G3.

I dont know where you take only icons, you must take it by yourself from LGSystemUI, or framework-res from original G3 rom.
Try to extract from here: https://app.box.com/s/m0tvrwabte4x6lyc2la1, if they look like in attached pic.
Or try to search or ask someone on G3 forum.

thanks for link, i follow your guide to de-compile SystemUI.apk for editing, i used the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803813 to edit my systemui and when i move new systemui.apk to my phone, i lost my notification . I think i didn't understand exactly these sentences in you guide "Before using the new apk you need to extract the resources.arsc, then simply put it back in the new apk overwriting the original resources.arsc.
In WinRar it will give you the option to choose the compression method, and it's vital that you choose Store as the compression method..."
The resources.arsc file i have to put in the new apk is the one in the decompiled apk folder ?

No, it's the one from the newly built apk, simply extract it then add it straight back.

iirc clock color is in services.jar. you'll need to baksmali it, edit the relevant file, and compile it again (smali).
I believe you need to resign the framework-res.apk again once you have compiled it.

It depends on what version of Android you're on. If you're on Gingerbread or above, decompile SystemUI.apk and look at res/layout/status_bar.xml.
If your clock has its own individual line of code, you can add this parameter:
Code:
android:TextColor="#00ffffff"
This will make the clock a pure white colour.

It gets compressed when you re-compile it. You should take out the resources.arsc, rename the apk to framework-res.zip, then add the resources.arsc with no compression (store mode) - rename it back to framework-res.apk..

If you're using 7zip, you don't need to rename the apk. Just extract and add. I know it only saves a few seconds but every little bit counts!

OK. Out of the framework .apk THAT YOU UNZIPPED, take the resources file, and the res folder (the whole folder; in which u made the changes) and "inject" (put them inside of) them into the ORIGINAL/UNZIPPED .apk. open the original .apk, drag the modified res folder and the resourses file and drop them into the original apk. U should b prompted as to whether u want to replace the existing files, say yes. Otherwise it might just replace them without asking for confirmation. Make sure that the files were properly transfered. Now take that UNZIPPED .apk that u just put those files in, and place it on the root of your SD card.
Use a file explorer to navigate to the apk on ur SD card, and put that in place of the one that's on ur phone. Make sure u give it the permissions that it needs.

I don't know if that will do it for sure or not. I have to use that way when I'm theming 4.1.1
I don't know how well it'll translate back to froyo, but the method SHOULD work...theoretically. good luck :thumbup:

That's the thread I use for de/compile of apks. Should work for any apk, and the way its done, it SHOULD work for any version JB and below (I would think).
and as for changing your clock color, that would have to do with de/compile of of framework-res.apk.

A little question here. I'm on 4.0.4 rooted and with unlocked boot.
I want to remove the “AM/PM” in the clock area when is at 12hrs format.
I tried modifying a file in SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy called “Clock.smali”.
The line exactly said “.local v5, amPmStyle: I”, I deleted the value and flashed it back to my device and doesn't worked, it shows AM/PM again.
Maybe I'm at the wrong .smali file? Can you give me a hand? I know if I use 24hrs format it wouldn't show AM/PM, but I'm from Venezuela, here we use 12hrs format.

I don't know for sure, but instead of just deleting the value, try replacing the 1 with a 0....I don't know the android system in and out yet, so I'm not sure if ur even attacking the right file. But that sounds like a place I would try, but I would try it with a dif value, not just deleting it...

No, I have success in resigning unmodified stock framework-res, so META-INF have no sense because new META-INF is signed by new key and its working! There is problem with "format" ...seems Sony have his own aapt and apktool which making totaly diferent "format" than apktool and aapt that we using. I tried many of the aapt | apktool but .arsc have totaly diferent size (allso png files is with totaly diferent size)... !

and one thing I wanted a favour........
I wanted to change the rotation fix for your MIUI to back to its original state..... decompiled the framework-res.apk from the MIUI and changed the some values in framework-res/res/values/bools.xml and then recompiled it and when I replaced it with the default one I was getting the status bar of different width from the original..... it was almost double..... I also tried by just replacing some images just for test and the same thing happened........
Can you tell me whats the problem is????
Hey bro,
Even I was stuck with this issue for a while I think it was Spaun_Studio who found out how to fix this issue Its basically to do with apktool not bundling the required nxt drawables as needed Anyway, Here's the fix :
1) After decompiling, go to apktool.iml and delete the following lines :
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Go to res/values and open styles.xml. There, delete all references to sonyericcson.uxp:drawable (Delete the entire line)
Then, compile and it will work
Credits to Spaun_Studio and not me for the idea

hi, can anyone replace icons from archive to apk in archive ? http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/52683022/file.html because when I'm doing it and changing this app in system/app icons are stretched, I changed icons via WinRar because when I'm trying to de/recompile this app via apk tool and other similar applications I have errors and can't do it properly
regards
Yes... But I need the original .pngs (those are from a decompiled .apk) - you can obtain them easy just unzip that .apk using "7 zip". And the framework-res.apk from the same folder (framework) as SemcGenericUxpRes.apk you are trying to modify (because I need to install it in my "APK Multi-Tool", otherwise I can't recompile the .apk)
so here is my framework and original icons http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/11770168/file.html
XperienceD said:
Quick Tip: If all you want to do is edit or replace normal images, things like your Status Bar icons or Menu icons like those used in the main screen of Settings then decompiling IS NOT necessary, simply open the apk in a zip program then just drag and drop any replacement images in to the correct folder, for images like your actual Status Bar which may have a .9 at the end then decompiling IS required.
Note: It's important to use STORE as the compression method when replacing images in the apk.
Also Note: .9 pngs need to be edited ONLY when in the decompiled folder, if you just take a .9 png and edit it then you won't be able to see the borders that the system needs to determine how that image should be displayed. I have included links at the end of this post to help with .9 editing along with links to other various theming resources that I've come across and bookmarked.
