Please, people with stock rom interested in my icons...

Extract the following files from your stock rom and upload it to somewhere...

/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.odex (if exists)
/system/framework/lge-res.apk
/system/framework/lge-res.odex (if exists)
/system/framework/sui-res.apk
/system/framework/sui-res.odex (if exists)
/system/framework/android.policy.odex
/system/framework/framework.odex

With this info, and if I have time, I'll try to create the update package for stock roms.

If Gingerbread arrives... maybe this proyect will be abandoned (for sure).

Why not install Nova v8? This way you can easily get them!

Sorted! (I hope).

I had a corrupted update-binary ...

Try this...

This .zip mounts /system with ext4 fs... In case that it doesn't go well


The same but mounting /system as ext3.

If first .zip run well in your case, may you try the second one too? (for testing pourposes).

I just mod my stock framework, don't know if someone already did cause didn't read all posts, but its kinda easy...

with es file explorer, rooted and SU permission, find system>framework>framework-res open it and directly copy-paste the png [I put batt_iconsv1.1, radio_iconsv0 and wifi_iconsv1]

At first I wanted to cry cause the phone turn off, but just did an autoreboot, then started again with the new look :D

Hey Huexxx, I saw your icons when I was looking for modded roms in order to decide which to buy, optimus black or 3d, ended up geting the 3d but I'd realy like to have these on my gadget, they add a nice touch to the looks. Does it work? :confused: Same screen resolution, I guess it could.

Thanks

    [HowTo] Mod a Theme - Huexxx's Battery Icons / Circular / % / Multicolour & more ...

    Hi all!

    Given that I wanted a circular icons for the battery indicator on my OB, and that the only way to get some icons to my taste was making them for myself, have encouraged me to create my own icons. My icons have a smooth transition of color from blue (100%) to red (0%) through green (75%), yellow (50%) and orange (25%).

    sample.jpg


    v1 3D icons with darker background (like radio signal strength) and 14p numbers!

    sample_14p_relieve.jpg


    v1.1 Enhanced 3D icons, rounder, better shadowed, numbers better centered!

    sample_v1.1.jpg


    Radio 3D icons v0!

    sample_radio3d.jpg


    WiFi icons v0. (with darker background like radio signal strength)!

    sample_wifi.jpg


    Wifi 3D icons v1!

    sample_wifi_v1.jpg


    Dropdown Arrow better visible for WP7 Theme!

    sample_dda.jpg


    New! V10E Stock LG Theme modified with my v1.1 icons:

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx10EBatt.zip

    NOTE: In case of troubles, post here and then we will see the way to restore original framework-res.apk.

    Since at the moment I have no intention of creating a complete theme, the only way to enjoy them is inject them into an existing theme, such as those offered by the Theme-Master antonio1475.

    To say that until the date, antonio's WP7 Theme is the default Nova theme, so if you have Nova rom and only want to inject my icons, use WP7 theme like explained in this thread.

    This tutorial will explain how to inject my icons on antonio1475's WP7 theme, but the process is the same for injection into any other existing theme. It is important that the theme comes with icons for each percentage value of battery charge. In the tutorial everything is done with WinRAR, but can also be done using 7zip.

    First of all, the changes explained here work perfectly for me, but I am not responsible for the effects it can have in your case.

    1 .- We can download the latest antonio1475's WP7 theme from his thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176182

    2 .- We can download my pack of icons from here:

    Battery v0 - Normal icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v0.rar
    Battery v1 - 3d icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v1.rar
    Battery v1.1 - 3d icons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v1.1.rar
    Radio 3d v0: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_Radio_Icons_v0.rar
    WiFi v0: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_WiFi_Icons_v0.rar
    WiFi 3d v1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/Huexxx's_WiFi_Icons_v1.rar
    Clearer Dropdown Arrow for WP7: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4629711/HBI/clearer_dropdown_arrow.rar

    3 .- Put the two files in one folder. It is not necessary but it simplifies things.
    HBI01.jpg


    4 .- Open the theme with WinRAR by double-clicking on it (in this case WP7themev8final.zip). WinRAR must be the default program to open zip files. If it's not your case, you have to open WinRAR and then find the file with the inside browser and open it. This will open a WinRAR window showing the contents of the package with the theme.
    HBI02.jpg


    5 .- Navigate within WinRAR to the folder \system\framework
    HBI03.jpg


    6 .- Open the file framework-res.apk by double-clicking on it inside WinRAR. This opens a new WinRAR window with the content.
    HBI04.jpg


    7 .- Navigate within WinRAR to the folder \res\drawable-hdpi
    HBI05.jpg


    8 .- Open my package of icons (Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v0.rar) with WinRAR.
    HBI06.jpg


    9 .- Select all files within the package of icons and drag'n'drop them to framework-res.apk WinRAR window in order to replace the icons.
    HBI07.jpg


    Once done, we can close the WinRAR window with the icons (Huexxx's_Batt_Icons_v0.rar).

    10 .- When a dialog to define how to include the new files popups, accept to continue with default parameters.
    HBI08.jpg


    11 .- Once the new icons have been included in framework-res.apk, close this WinRAR window. The application will ask you to update the file, and you have to accept. Maybe it will ask you to update before close the window, anyway accept and then close it.
    HBI09.jpg


    You can see the date and size changes in framework-res.apk looking at theme's WinRAR window (WP7themev8final.zip).
    HBI10.jpg


    12 .- Close the theme's WinRAR window. You can see the date and size changes in WP7themev8final.zip looking at file browser.
    HBI11.jpg


    The resulting file WP7themev8final.zip is the original theme with the modified icons, ready to install.

    Instructions for installing the theme are the same as the author specified for its installation, so read carefully the theme author's thread.
    In fact, the theme used for the tutorial can only be installed over Nova ROM or stock 10C ROM.

    I recommend you to deactivate the widgets and to run the original launcher (if you use a different one) before flashing the theme, as in my first attempt I had to deactivate and reactivate the widgets, and reconfigure a little the launcher after the flash. After installation, in my case, the first boot stucked on bootimage (several minutes) and I had to remove the battery and restart, but finally everything is correct. Following this recommendations, the second attemp worked flawlessly.

    Take a look of some screenshots with the result.

    v0:

    31pc.png

    v1+wifi:

    To say that all the procedure above explained can be used in order to modify any .png inside theme's apks.

    Be careful with .9.png files... ir must be recompiled and it's more difficult.

    For those who wish to use my icons in your themes, it's very simple:

    - Ask me for permission
    - Include me in the credits

    So many thanks to antonio1475, without his help this would be impossible!

    Hi again!

    I've created new Radio 3d icons.

    They are inspired in WP7 theme icons but now in 3d.

    You can see it at first post.
