[Xposed] Change the status bar with single apk

Hey guys new Xposed apk which we can easy modify the status bar ....
WisdomSky Xploit is a module for Xposed framework. This module will customize the colors of your statusbar(for now). You don't need to decompile any apk. You just need to install the needed android applications. Very safe, and 100% noob-friendly!!!
CHANGELOGS:

If you have simplistic framework mod means its ok .....if not

3. rename additional apk => example: qs_clear_25.apk become overlay.coffee.qs.apk
* add "overlay.coffee." in front
* remove file name from first underscore ( _ ) onward, you just need the first word
4. open apk editor, select Coffee.apk, and choose menu 2 ( Simple Edit (FILE REPLACEMENT))
5. open assets , scroll down to bottom and find overlays you want to change (example: overlay.coffee.qs.apk)
tap the pencil icon beside it, and choose the apk you've downloaded & renamed with same name.
6. click Save ! and your own Coffee is served as new apk
7. open Theme store, delete existing Coffee theme if any, and install new customized Coffee.

Really nice!! Can you make on with stock Samsung nav bar icons and stock Samsung pull down menu?
Thank you!

			
				
Concept is awesome but not working well on S7 edge.
Status bar icons getting misplaced and notification panel only looks good on dark background.
Not a fan of the icons for status and notification myself.. nice theme overall though! Love the nav bar too.
If you look at the OP screenshots, it looks intentional?

It's not inside the theme.
You gotta request them here bro.
There will be options for other things like statusbar, navbar icons, app icons, wallpaper, AOD, etc
Also in future i will put the theme assets apk so people can recompile themselves.
@crayonyes coffee ~ clear 50%, 30 pt. Pixel navbar, AOSP status bar
I hope I'm requesting correctly!
Great work brother!
Just install apk like normal or is there another way?
Do i need to get rid of current overlays and Substratum?
@crayonyes; coffee 75% clear with 32 pnt pixel nav bar and ASOP status bar .I believe that's the correct blend lol

Sorry for the wait bro.
Please try this. I made this using method in post 2 (updated)
Now u can blend ur own coffee
If you have theme coffee before, delete it from theme store, then install this and apply free trial, reboot, reapply
Then u need to re-apply substratum ones.

[MOD] Change apps' icons - system and user apps everywhere

Hello,
i'd like to share instructions for a mod that lets you use custom images (.png) as icons for apps system-widely (in recents menu, in launchers, included One UI home) in stock-based samsung roms.
This works fine on Android Pie 9 rom (it might work also on Android 10 Q if the engine hasn't changed).
Story:
I was searching a way to get rid of adaptive icons (i hate small icons inside white circles, i simply can't find my apps) and get back freeform legacy icons. Unfortunately OneUI home launcher does not allow custom icons, while using third-paty launchers only lets you change icons on the launcher side and not in the whole android system.
Samsung has created a great theme engine but they like to protect their things from personal use too (seriously: who's still making money from theming nowadays?).
Basis:
You need to edit the theme_app_icons.xml file in framework-res.apk from system/framework folder and the only way I found is by replacing framework-res.apk with a modded one (ROOT needed).
I made several attempts to create a working overlay (root-less) for this particular file in framework-res but it seems that strangely this file cannot be overlayed using the Resource Overlay framework (Samsung restrictions? So far it seems that other themers could not find a way, too).
So, for ROOT-LESS users, you can only customize predefined samsung/google apps icons (apps listed in theme_app_icons.xml).
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) decompile framework-res.apk (i used TickleMyandroid https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333)
2) go to decompiled res/xml folder, open and edit theme_app_icons.xml adding new entries for the apps you want. For editing you can use Notepad++, avoid Windows notepad.
You need to add the package name of the app and an ic_xxxxxx custom icon name you'll use later.
For example, if you want to customize the icon of the XDA app you'll add this line:
Code:
<ThemeApp className="com.xda.labs" iconId="ic_xda" />
3) save, recompile (for recompilation errors you need to look in the error log and delete duplicate entries in styles.xml similarly to what is described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78541190&postcount=838 )
Then drag and drop the theme_app_icons.xml FROM the recompiled apk TO the original framework-res.apk, because if you use directly the recompiled apk you might have bootloop (apktool problem with res folders, happens also for other system apks)
4) now -directly replace- or -system-lessly replace using a Magisk module- the framework-res.apk with the modded one and reboot
5) Open the Galaxy Theme store, download a random icon pack but DO NOT APPLY IT, export the apk (you can find it in data/app folder), decompile it and replace and add icons in res/drawable-xxxxdpi folder with your custom PNG icons (you can also replace default .qmg files with .png ones).
Now recompile the modded icon pack apk and replace the downloaded one on the phone with the recompiled pack
(you can A- directly install it over the original one if you have the "Core Patch" edxposed module/Smali patcher signature mod magisk module or B- uninstall the original pack using the terminal command "pm uninstall packagename" and immediately install the recompiled one.
The same concept can be used to install custom themes, for example these or using the "Custom Themes Installer for OneUI Pie" app )
6) Finally apply the icon pack using Galaxy theme store and you are done.

}
(my freeshape/touchwiz style drawer)
NOTES:
-The modded icon pack might disappear from the personal list in Galaxy theme store after a reboot, but the icons will stay there (and also the installed icon package).
-Every app still has its legacy icon in res/mipmap folders, so you can extract and use it in your icon pack
- you can adjust the icon size using the "icon_scale_size" integer inside the icon pack (max 100)
Hope you enjoy, i've been experimenting a lot during this lockdown time. I'll try also to answer the questions and give help.
This looks promising! is there anyway that the icon shape can be changed too?

This is interesting. I just found that theme_app_icons.xml and tried to make an overlay to target it and failed. Then do a bit research lead me to this post. But I still want to find out why the overlay method didn't work. So could you share your steps and method that you use to overlay target that xml? I have a thinking that maybe the level of priority of the overlay is the issue.
well theres 2 minutes im not getting back. -_-

I simply edited one of the stock overlays you can find in /vendor/overlay folder. Tried fiddling a bit but was unsuccessful.
Please let me know if you find a solution (as far as i know not even professional themers so far have found the right way)

Then drag and drop the theme_app_icons.xml FROM the recompiled apk TO the original framework-res.apk, because if you use directly the recompiled apk you might have bootloop (apktool problem with res folders, happens also for other system apks)
4) now -directly replace- or -system-lessly replace using a Magisk module- the framework-res.apk with the modded one and reboot
5) Open the Galaxy Theme store, download a random icon pack but DO NOT APPLY IT, export the apk (you can find it in data/app folder), decompile it and replace and add icons in res/drawable-xxxxdpi folder with your custom PNG icons (you can also replace default .qmg files with .png ones).
Now recompile the modded icon pack apk and replace the downloaded one on the phone with the recompiled pack
(you can A- directly install it over the original one if you have the "Core Patch" edxposed module/Smali patcher signature mod magisk module or B- uninstall the original pack using the terminal command "pm uninstall packagename" and immediately install the recompiled one.
The same concept can be used to install custom themes, for example these or using the "Custom Themes Installer for OneUI Pie" app )
6) Finally apply the icon pack using Galaxy theme store and you are done.

NOTES:
-The modded icon pack might disappear from the personal list in Galaxy theme store after a reboot, but the icons will stay there (and also the installed icon package).
-Every app still has its legacy icon in res/mipmap folders, so you can extract and use it in your icon pack
- you can adjust the icon size using the "icon_scale_size" integer inside the icon pack (max 100)
Hope you enjoy, i've been experimenting a lot during this lockdown time. I'll try also to answer the questions and give help.

I installed an icon pack from galaxy themes store, but the only thing I see in data/app folder is SystemUI.apk, Is it supposed to be SystemUI.apk? what am I missing?
