[Q] How to theme quick settings icons in Lollipop?

[Matt7262]

Hi, I'm trying to theme the quick settings icons of Lollipop on the One through a CM12 theme. I know it's possible because other themes have done it. Does anyone here know how I can do this?

This is theme dependant. Some themes like Flux do it... Others like roam or blakkat don't...

On Cyanide L, if I not use a theme, I can change colors directly I Cyanide options

Steps to theme Quick Setting tiles in Lollipop:

1. Grab SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your ROM.
2. "apktool if" framework-res.apk and "apktool d" SystemUI.apk
3. Navigate to apktool/SystemUI/res/drawable
4. The QS tiles are vector drawables that go by the name "ic_qs_" and somtimes other names(for example: ic_zen for no notification sound tile and ic_livedisplay_ for LIveDisplay tile on SlimLP)
5. You can directly color the .xml's by changing the color code inside the XML. Compile the CM TE apk(or RRO Layers theme) with your themed QS tiles in both res/drawable and res/drawable-v21
6. Or cou can convert the vector XML's to SVG and export them in Inkscape/Adobe Illustrator as PNG and mod them that way.

Changing colour codes is easy. Theming the full icons is a long and tedious job! Makes you respect the effort that themers take for their work way more.

If you need more personal help, you can send me a PM, since I might not check this thread again

Thanks! I can't seem to find these instructions anywhere.. I'll try to mod it with PNG files.
