the app drawer icon is easy if you're using a launcher like apex. just download an icon pack that you like, long press on the app drawer icon, press edit on the menu that appears and you can pick an icon from whatever icon packs you have.
the soft keys though, the only way i know how to change them is with the xposed mod xstana, but that only lets you choose from the themes that come with the module (some of which are free and some that require a payment)
those are the only ways i know, but hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in with other solutions

I tried xstana it doesnt work either but i really dont want to install any other launchers id like to find a way to modify the lg home and theme apks to produce the results im looking for maybe someone could point me in the right direction or maybe a tut on creating a module of my own

hmm thats strange...xstana works great on my stylo. hopefully another option presents itself...

oh maybe thats why it worked for me because i did choose a status bar also

Xstana works great for the nav bar i went ahead and purchased prime... Now if i could figure out a away to do the app drawer icon

[Froyo] Morphs discussion and progress in here plz

Loving Froyo but missing the black noti bar and icons. Anybody got any that are compatible? please share thanks!
EDIT: Many users managed to get morphs working, HOWEVER the text color mods are currently not working therefore black stat/noti bars will have unreadable black text (clock, operator). Old morphs will work, you will need to remove the services folder from your morph and edit the thm/xml accordingly. I will be posting my morph which is a black stat & noti bar after a few tweaks.
i think i read somewhere metamorph does not work in froyo, needs update.
but the good old update.zip way should work. the rom needs to be deodexed. paul will do this next week. but it would be nice, if someone could deodex classes.odex from framework services.jar, so we are able to mod the status bar. found some info about this on smali/backsmali developer page but wos afraid to do something wrong. could an expert have a look on this?
[request] deodex framework files
who wants to be first and get all the fame?^^
the older version of metamorp with .thm files is working fine in my froyo.. i have change the top bar , the launcher icon and he power widge.. setcpu will not work (name of app has changed).. also my remove dots on lock screen morph works under foryo

Could we get a link to this version because i cant seem to get anything working >.< I get an error about the theme control file? Thanks for the help anyone!
Re: Froyo - Anybody made morphs?
Each of the notification bar morphs I have used have resulted in a boot loop upon the forced reboot... if anyone has successfully morphed the froyo notification bar, could they please post a link to a the .thm file or pertinent thread? Thanks!
Ps... preferably a desire look a like, but I'd settle for anything but white

I all depends on the size of the icons. You can use xhdpi icons, but they'll be to big for the status bar. I haven't found away to adjust the icons in the xml's as of yet, still looking. That bugs me as well especially the "3G". All in all unless you have ICS the icons will continue to look this way.

Yeah, thats the problem. Let me know if u've found a way to do so. Or just share the full status bar layout for me to giv it a try on my r800i.

No, i dont think so. You have to consider that each icon has a designated space mandated in the XML's or smali about 38x38 or so. You want to find that line and change it to read something like 38x20 or what ever you want. It would read something like <FrameLayout android:layout_width="20.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip". I've tried changing "status_bar_icon.xml" to no avail.

You don't need to rename it , just choose "install zip from sdcard" option. Sorry, I dont know why your bootlooping

If so please download from a pc, and try again

Yours looked like it may have corrected the minor visual problems this one had. I'll give a shot at re-installing this one and putting yours on top to see if that works. I'll let you know.
EDIT: Ok, the old ICS theme still works.
Out of curiosity, I checked out what the difference between the two themes were. What are the apks in the app folder within your zip?
EDIT2: Worked! You were right. I had to install that old ICS theme down first before yours worked. Wonder why that would work...oh well.

One thing I've noticed is that using my music players (built-in music and playerpro), the text of the song title in the notification bar is black, so it's unreadable.
But so far, awesome job, man.

Black status bar for sense 4+

Ok, that was easy.
This worked for me. First im on JB_by_luxandroid_v2 (one s s3). I copied the systemUI.apk to my pc. Added .zip to the file and unzipped it. Searched for status_bar_background.9.png and used gimp to make these all black. Rezipped all the files to systemui.apk and copied back /system/apps using twrp file manager. Restart and all black status bar.

This worked for me. All the tutorials out there say you need to decompile, modify and compile the systemui.apk. I did not have to nor do I know why it worked the easy way. So this might not work for you and might frak up your install (do a backup before trying).
If anyone wants to make a flashable zip or make this compatible with other roms, be my guest. I dont have the knowlege to develop this any further

Hi, I'm using nova launcher with trickdroid 5 s3. HTC status bar annoys me. Would like to get it all black. Would appreciate any help with getting it. The option was before in the tweak packade but that isn't available anymore. Is there a zip to flash?
Thanks in advance.

I did not encounter any zip to flash, but you could try decompiling systemUI by yourself, which I was too lazy for, so I flashed Pacman ROM.
However, you can download ICS Status Bar or Jelly Bean Status Bar by Team Syndicate, they overlay the Sense one with a AOSP one.
Tried the overlay from play store already. Would work fine on ics. Problem with jelly bean is whn you pull down the notifications status bar goes away, but the overlay does not. So that cuts away half of the clock and settings button.
Dont want to have to go back to ics

Didn't know that as I never had Jelly Bean and Sense at the same time Just go ahead and get yourself a decent ROM, and you're fine!

Just plain flat black.... i love it... the closest ive gotten is setting status bar transparency on home all the way in Viper ROM, either one 1.2.1 or 2.0.0, and having a black bg... But only good on home...
EDIT: I would love to remove the beveled look of the status bar....

I managed to decompile the SystemUI.apk couldnot find the obvious status bar file to modify to black, I assume there are several. Someone know witch png files need to be modified to get an all black status bar?
I have done this a long time ago on HTC touch but it seemd easier back then
been googling for hours, but cannot find clear tutorials on how to edit status bar pngs
ok think I found it. should be status_bar_background.9.png
lets see if I can get this to work with my limited knowlege
I found another way. Probably you saw that you can apply some themes in the "customize" app from HTC. Well, the devs of Virtuous ROM made some more themes for that theme chooser, including a holo-like one with a black status bar!

I found another way. Probably you saw that you can apply some themes in the "customize" app from HTC. Well, the devs of Virtuous ROM made some more themes for that theme chooser, including a holo-like one with a black status bar!

I thought those only worked with sense 4.0

Ok, that was easy.
This worked for me. First im on JB_by_luxandroid_v2 (one s s3). I copied the systemUI.apk to my pc. Added .zip to the file and unzipped it. Searched for status_bar_background.9.png and used gimp to make these all black. Rezipped all the files to systemui.apk and copied back /system/apps using twrp file manager. Restart and all black status bar.

Here is my modified systemui.apk
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ewgoa0ryva7v5a3/SystemUI.apk
This worked for me. All the tutorials out there say you need to decompile, modify and compile the systemui.apk. I did not have to nor do I know why it worked the easy way. So this might not work for you and might F up your install (do a backup before trying)l

There is an xposed module called unicon that allows you to change icons system wide. It also allows you to use certain icon sets that some launchers do not recognize so it can come in handy at times for general use.
I cant make it work..
Installed the Unicon app, and made it install the xposed framework.
Trying to set a icon theme, and it does not apply anywhere...
What im i missing? I have seen others do it, from screenshots.

Hmm. Just guessing here. Did you enable unicon in xposed modules then reboot?
Jepp... nothing happened.

Not sure whats happening there. You might try reinstalling in case something went awry. Which rom are you using? I'm on lab rats.
Mickys rom right now. Tryed with stock earlier today. Cant make it work with either one. So clearly im doing something wrong.. tryed Unicon beta also.

Probably best if someone with similar set up can chime in. Might check and see if other xposed modules work properly. Sorry can't help more...

Change OPT App Drawer Icon on Stock ROM

Hey guys and gals, I was sick of looking at the stock App Drawer Icon in the OPT's stock launcher so I changed it to one more appealing. If anyone wants a specific Icon to replace the stock one, just send it to me and I will modify the install script. I will attach a screenshot of the app drawer icon in action as well as the install script.
To install, just download the attached file, place file in your downloads directory and flash in recovery (after you create an nandroid backup). This will only change the app drawer icon.
Please let me know if you have any problems with the install or if the icon didn't install properly.
I got this icon from https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/1/9/6/2/3/1/3/AppDrawer.png
Thanks
CHANGE LOGS
.1 - Revert Back To Stock Icon script, to get the stock app drawer icon with out restoring from backup
.2 - Added New App Drawer Icon Never Settle (needs some fine tuning, quickly made via PhotoShop)
Wow looks great ! Thanks

How did you get iphone like mobile signal bar and carrier info in status bar? I am also looking for battery icon in status bar with % inside the battery.. can we change it
Look for an Xposed module called "Flat Style Bar Indicators". With this Xposed application, you have the ability to change all status bar indicators.

Yes you do. The rooting process is very easy and unlocks an entire world of Android customization. Make sure you do your research before.

Hey @ripv2 , I was just curious as to how you achieve doing this? I am curious as I would like to bodge together my own way of doing this, so I am able to help further my knowledge of android programming.
Thanks.
This isn't really Android programming, I would suggest getting some experience with apktool first, to learn how to decompile and recompile and sign apks.
