You need to decompile the SystemUI.apk (which is the statusbar)
you can use apktool to decompile (afterall ther are plenty guides on XDA to modify statusbar)
once u've done decompiling, replace the images that you want
but dont modify .9.png i.e "9" images else apk will get corrupt or unstable.
then sign the apk and replace your modified systemUI.apk with the one in system/app
and bingo! you have a custom statusbar.

Hi,
I kno I've posted this in Q&A but maybe there is one super developer who can help the community getting there 4 lockscreens?!
Currently there only exist two types of lockscreen for the sgs i9000. AOSP or samsung glass.
For the Vibrant on the other hand, some people (untermensch ) have managed to get 4 lockscreen types:
AOSP lockscreen
Glass lockscreen
Puzzle lockscreen
Epic lockscreen
More info in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838260
It must definitly be possible to port this to a froyo rom on our SGS but it has taken me a lot of time allready and have not progressed one bit.
Frustrating indeed.
I managed to decompile the android.policy.jar using the command: java -jar baksmali.jar -x android.policy.jar -o android.policy
I added the epic classes from the source zip file in the earlier mentioned post.
I recompiled ((java -jar smali.jar android.policy -o classes.dex) it again and at least no errors at this stage.
Next I tried to decompile the framework-res.apk.
Got errors from apktool, saying that it can't decompile a nine patch image. The nine patch image does not contain a nine patch chunk (so not really a nine patch but png with .0.png extension?)
Tried a lot of things, options, google, this forum but failed to find a solution.
The same thing with the Settings.apk, same kind of error, no solution.
I must be doing something wrong here and have come to a point that I cant figure it out anymore.
I believe that a lot of people would be interested in this kind of thing and this is something achievable.
If somebody could take a shot at this modification please, it would be so awesome to have this for Darkys rom or Docrom v9.
ps.i do remember that some id's of resources need to change cause there are some duplicates somewhere but don't remember which one where.
The source codes that untenmensch provided contain all the information. Though haven't tried it, but it is comprehensive enough.
Try using apk manager to decompile the framework-res.apk, and you use baksmali and smali for the settings apk.
Use stock apk, instead of modded ones.

to decompile framework-res use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745189
I use it for my personal rom and works better.
apktool or apkmanager don't work better with samsung framework-res,because Samsung don't respect the standard image and there are a lot of errors that can you correct using draw9patch from SDK,but in this way must edit all pngs...and they are a lot.

Hi all
I have a Samsung Galaxy mini (S5570L) and I'm trying to edit Phone.apk, I wanna replace the unknown caller picture for the stock android picture, I already managed to do that but I have 2 questions:
1) When I try to replace Phone.apk with the one I edited the phone starts vibrating uncontrollably and I can't seem to be able to do pretty much anything, is there any special treatment when editing system APKs??
2) The stock Samsung ROM is odexed so I know editing and replacing the APK isn't as simple as it sounds, what else do I need to do after zipping the APK in APK Manager??
Thanx for you help
P.S.: This is a wild idea but is there a way to change the TouchWiz Phone.apk for the stock Froyo Phone.apk??

To 2.
It causes issues if u have some odexed and one deodexed apk so u should deodex all apks.
1. Do a logcat to find out what's wrong .
Did u push the file via adb?
And u should sign the apk ...

Thanx man, turns out I needed to deodex the APK before editing (which I didn't know).
I've got another question, since I'm using a stock Samsung ROM should I deodex all the system and framework apps?? 'Cause that sounds like a huge amount of work

just keep practicing,
also use other references like google and searching because u can't really expect much help when modifying things because basic knowledge in theming is aquired and not taught,
backtrack on what you did maybe you did something wrong,

Hey Guys, Some StatusBar Icons in ROM Toolbox App are so nice. But i can't install it to change my original SB Icons. Although i was Flash Hyperion, Newmis, Alfa,...
Please Help Me!
*Sorry For Bad English:laugh:
just take your systemui.apk change the extention to zip unzip it with winrar
goto res/drawable-ldpi
replace any png you want (pngs only not .9,png and dont replace any xml files!)
rezip
change extention back to apk
put in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted
if you want to change xml files or do anything else decompile the systemui.apk with apktool

ROM Toolbox icon changer is not compatible with Galaxy y. I have tried on deodexed ROM with ROM Toolbox Pro. You need to change icons manually as marcussmith2626 said.
