Home/Back/RecentApps and the Wifi icons. Also did a couple of backgrounds (2nd pic). Still playing around, I want to mod the battery meter to the circle battery meter with percentage.






I pulled the icons from this thread, so full credit goes here:

I loved using that theme when i was using dexters primee. But im back on taboony and would love to be able to use those icons and settings interface again. If you get them fully ported will you post them here please. That would be awesome.

If you're interested, upload your SystemUI.apk and I can mod it for you. You would just have to follow the instructions on my previous post to install.

I also figured out the Circle Battery % in framework-res thanks to MagnusRagnarok (Thanks!).

If anyone else is interested, I can do it for them as well. Just let me know.

I plan on making a few different mods so if there is enough interest I'll start a new thread of Themes for A500's (maybe).

NinjaMorph on the market will save many of the steps and you can make the mods right on your tab. Just have the replacement icons on your SD card.

Overview

i went and downloaded a ton of those cubed icon's where/ what file do i need to put them to get them to work by default on my tab without having to use a DIFF launcher? inside the apks for the apps or is there something somewhere else??

Followed you instructions but....

As always, you do this at your own risk, blah blah!!! Please read and understand what you are doing before trying this!

The 3 programs I used to do this: 7zip, ES File Explorer(on Tab) and Photoshop (You can use whatever you want). I have not looked into making flashable zips so this way was just easier for me.

1. Open Es File Explorer (free from market) on your Tablet and access settings options > check mark 'Root Explorer' and then check 'Mount File System' as writable.
2. Now within Es File Exp navigate to System/App/ There you will find the file you need to mod named 'SystemUI.apk' Copy it by long pressing on the file and select copy.
3. Now that it's copied, place the file somewhere on your sd card or anywhere else so you can copy it to your computer.
4. Once on your computer, Use 7zip right click and 'Open Archive'. The files you want are in res/drawable-mdpi/ so now find the specific icons you want to mod and copy them to a place where you can work on them with your choice of graphics editor (ie photoshop). Note that the bottom icons are in sets of 2 (standard icon and pressed icon). The icons referenced should start with 'ic_sysbar...'.
5. After modding your icons, 'Open archive' on the SystemUI.apk again and simply drag and drop your new icons into res/drawable-mdpi/ (Do not change the name of the files!) The file is now ready to be put back on the Tablet.
6. Copy the modded SystemUI.apk file onto your tab somewhere you'll know where to find it.
7. Using ES File Exp navigate back to System/App to file your original SysemUI.apk rename it something like SystemUI.apk.bak so you can go back to it if you want to later. This should cause your Tab to crash immediately upon completion. Don't freak out!
8. Hold down the power button to reboot your Tab.
9. After booting up, note your menu bar on the bottom has disappeared. No problem just press your Apps menu in the top right hand corner and open up ES File Exp. Locate and copy your modded SystemUI.apk into System/App/ Now back out and reboot.
10. Enjoy your new icons.

If you want to go back to stock, just rename your stock SystemUI file back to normal and kill the modded one you made.

If any questions let me know. Hope you find it helpful!

Now I get force closes on the systemui.apk when I go to try and load the settings. Any suggestions?

My bad. I accidentally renamed the wrong file when I first did the mod.
