Thanks!

Do you mean you're after:
A theme for MIUI which has the 3G icons from that theme
or
That theme with the MIUI 3G icons?

I would like the 3g icon from that rom to flash over SkyRaider 3.2

^Same^ but likt the one from the smooth blue theme that is a blue 3G indicator. Or JUST the stock HTC 3G indicator in blue if possible. Thanks

just pull it out of the framework and color it yourself, it's like 4 images

Funny. I was just going to post asking anyone if they had it in red. I would also like to know how to do it.

I know. I really want it lol, because i kinda hate the 3G indicator in the theme i have currently, as it's hard to see the upload/download arrows, so i just wanted a flashable indicator so I dont lose the cool notification pulldown

I can edit it with photoshop if I can find it. Can anyone give me a hint to the file path?

EDIT: Hah...ok I suck and fail.

I found the apk and edited the images. Looked great. Put the apk back together. Unistalled the original apk and tried to install my modified apk. Would not install. I'm done with it for now. I guess I will read up on signing tomorrow although I thought I had read that system apps didn't need to be signed.

I'll play with it more tomorrow.

do adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

And the images should n in the drawable-hdpi. Folder if not just look around until u find the images
Then pull the framework from your current Rom and replace your images with the images you want then repush your framework hack to the phone and reboot

If you figure it out can you pack a zip of just the 3g icon in blue as well for me?
Thanks man

Thanks for the tips. With a little help from google, I was able to figure it out.

Which icon did you need exactly? The 3g toggle or the notification bar?

 

[TheWizKid95]

well, i did it and replaced some old icons with cooler looking ones, but the 3g icons (along with similar data icons) did not show up. all of the other ones showed up. also, i read a thread where this dude got 4g icons from another rom and installed them on his phone to make it look like he had 4g, but then hours later, he experienced loss of mobile data... and now i think i am too... any suggestions?

I'm sorry I can't help you. I am learning all this myself and wouldn't pretend to know where to start on that. All I can say is that if you are going to make any changes then backup early and often.

The 3g toggle icons I was looking for were in system/app. I merely reskinned them and dropped them back in.

I'm running a theme and mine is already skinned. I think either way you would still have to adb push it onto your phone. I did some googling and took a crash course on changing system icons.

Once I figured it out, it made sense (i know that sounds stupid, but after i did it, I was like oh yeah I get it now). I know that's not a big help, but I'm new to this and wouldn't want to bork your phone. Maybe someone more knowledgable will come save the day.

Otherwise I would google in terms like editing apks and adb pull adb push etc. and maybe you will figure it out too.

Hell I can't wait to ruin my phone now that I am armed and dangerous =)

Lol, i actuallly finally figured out how to extract the png's, so i am going to edit in photoshop, then replace the current images with the app ninjamorph.
*didnt work* left a huge blank space on noti. bar and when I rebooted to see if it would show, I bootlooped*

Well. I spent last night learning to resign edited apk files, so literally nothing on my phone is safe now.

Is there any way to pack the png's so that I can flash them or install as an apk?
Anyone know how I'd do this? I already have the edited png's.
Can I send any of you guys the folder with the icons and you can help me out with this?
Thanks again

It seems the easiest way to change or theme icons is to not unzip them. Just open them with 7zip and make your changes, then close it. They will stay compressed and all of the info and size will remain intact.

Once changed you will have to resign the apk or zip file.

I spent the better part of 2 hours reading up on it using these forums and google, but I do not in any way feel knowledgable enough to instruct you on the finer points. There are oodles of topics on editing apk's and signing them when you are finished.

The steps seem pretty clear:

1. download or pull apk
2. open with 7zip
3. make changes keeping sizes and file names the same
4. close
5. re-sign the apk or zip file (most likely have to delete the existing files to the original signing which will be replaced with your own)
6. push or install the zip or apk (make sure the original app is uninstalled prior to reinstalling the changed app)

There are various methods and tools. The most helpful thread I found on signing is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580

I hope this covers it all and is helpful to you. I am new at it and can only tell you to backup everything and if you are unclear on any of it, then don't attempt it.

Read all the posts related to it. There is great info and plenty of feedback on known issues or mistakes others have had.
