circle or diff style 3g icon

[cupfulloflol]

i put it in the android theme folder and it when i use metamorph it says theme is invalid cause a file could be missing or is not corectly written...am i doing something wrong...i downloaded straight from my phone in my browser and moved it from the downloads in root explorer to sdcard/ androidthemes

You are doing it right, [Mod Edit...laughing at others mistakes is not necessary] The title of the xml file inside the zip has to be the name of the zip. The zip is titled blood_red, and the xml inside is named blue. So you have two options, either rename the .zip file to 3G_round_signal_blue.zip . Or.... you could unzip it (root explorer can do that) to a folder, and use root explorer to install an already existing theme.

How can I change the icons in the notifcation bar such as the 3g and whatever else I can to make it different

Buy a different phone? Look I know you guys like to customize and there may be a way to do it but isn't that really going to extreme?

Well, at least it bumped your post. Maybe somebody has a real answer for you.

Extreme? Not at all. Those icons are easy to change, you just have to be rooted, as they're in framework-res.apk. Here's a bit of what I made for my Droid. Some of them are just inverted versions of the stock icons, and some are all custom. I can zip up the files and post them if anyone's interested.

I really like ur icons

what kind of icons you want? i can make a metamorph for you

rather then do it for him.... why not teach him instead.

you know the old saying..... Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

Well I figured he just wanted someone to do it for him haha. I wrote this last week, and it tells you how to use metamorph...so learn away!

Actually the original one I posted didn't have a theme file in it...I was in a rush, then I added it for the new attachment, either way glad it worked :wink:

I will fix the .xml title name also for others

 

[stabl4life82]

awesome and it worked like a charm the second time....what about for the battery like the liquid or something else?

Thanks! If you want to use any of them, you can download em here:

Install by opening framework-res.apk in 7zip and dropping all the icons in the drawable-hdpi folder. I do it this way, so these can be easily installed over any other theme. I also included additional icons that you can patch into several system apps using the same method.

framework-res.apk should be adb pushed to the phone (in recovery mode with the system mounted). Root Explorer'ing it there works, but crashes the phone.
The apps, once patched, can safely be moved back into the phone with adb or Root Explorer. Just make sure their permissions are set to rw-r--r-- when all is done. Reboot, and you're all set.

This what you're lookin for? I use it, it rocks.

Sure. I don't use MM, but here's a zip of the images.

 

[stabl4life82]

so i can just unzip in mm and then reboot? or u dont know?

 

[OSX2000]

I don't know, sorry.

 

[stabl4life82]

one more question...u sent me 4 diff wifi signals in that zip right? i see when i look in it i see 4 with the diff pngs....so im guessing i just pick one of these and delete the rest? lol

Those aren't different wifi signals, they're 5 stages of the same one, one for each level of signal strength. That's how Android handles the "animation".

I really don't think MM is going to be able to install it for you. From what I hear, it has enough trouble handling properly packaged themes, let alone raw images in a zip.

Have you ever used 7zip to patch themes into apk files? It's a lot easier than it sounds. If you get confused, post up here, I'll help ya out.

- Copy framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ to your SD card.
- Plug into your computer, and copy the framework from the SD to your hard drive.
- Open 7zip, navigate to the framework file, and dive into it like it's a zip file.
- Now that you're inside framework-res, go into the /res folder, then the /drawable-hdpi folder. Drag the 5 wifi icons into drawable-hdpi, and click yes when it asks you to confirm.
- Close the window, ADB framework-res.apk back to /system/framework/, and you're all set.
