Root Grey Black status bar icons

[kensdavid]

My setup is looking so sweet on TranQ 3.6 I figured I'd share some of my look.

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! <-Grey Alarm, Phone Call & GPS Icons - To be installed with NinjaMorph

To install:
*Open NinjaMorph
*Start Checks
*New Project
*/system/framework/framework-res.apk
(let it extract all the files, they will end up in /sdcard/androidthemes/workspace/framework-resapk/)
*You can now either:
*Replace the zz_moto_jog_tab_bar_left_begin.9.png with the one i provided using root explorer (Destination folder = /sdcard/androidthemes/workspace/framework-resapk/res/drawable-hdpi/)
or
-Use NinjaMorph to do the replacement
(**I find using root explorer or astro to replace the file avoids permission errors**)
*Back in the Ninjamorph program, back out to the first screen, then select 'Finish Project'
*Select your framework-resapk project
*Say Yes to the Confirm Action prompt
*Say No to Optimizing prompt
*Say OK to rebooting
You're done!

Let me know what you think - or if you'd like to see other icons in grey!

Maybe you should swap your framework with an existing theme and strip the other stuff out and release it?

Not sure I've changed enough to warrant a separate theme...just wondering if people liked where I was headed with this...I'm quite pleased with it so far and want to share...

Another issue is that I want to help people regardless of the rom they have chosen...Themes tend to be rom specific unfortunately

I think the main thing that makes a theme rom-dependent is when they start theming applications.

Take the holiday theme posted a few months ago. All it did was change some colors, add some wallpaper. It was installable on a lot of roms b/c it didn't go nuts and kept things simple. If I style system apps and add those apk's to the theme, I stand a good chance of hosing something for other themes.

OK great - so I will post my framework-res.apk on multiupload - you want to try it out?

 

[colchiro]

Sorry, can't today. I'm on call until the weekend and don't have a land line.

So was going to try out your theme, but noticed it isn't zipped with the other files that make a theme, like services.jar and framework-res.apk.

Guess I don't know all that's required to create a basic theme, I've just installed and disected a few.

Maybe something here might help.
