Deodex your rom
Copy SystemUI.apk to your pc
Rename to SystemUI.zip
extract contents to a folder
goto res/drawable-ldpi
Replace any image except images ending In .9
Make sure file names remain the same
rezip all the files
change name of zip to SystemUI.apk (note you will have to enable file extensions in folder options in control panel to change zip to apk)
put in a flashable zip and flash with system mounted
note this method is only for changing png images
to edit any other files like xml you must decompile with apktool

Okay....can u tell me how to deodex our rom...
sorry to give u trouble... but m a noob here...

There is a guide in the general section about deodexing stock roms.Just use the search button.

Use kitchen
flash fresh stock rom and root
install terminal
use terminal to pull all system files into a tar file
load tar file into a working folder in kitchen
use kitchen to deodex - change api to level 10 first
build the rom and flash it
There are other methods but that one is simple

Just for changing stat icons.... NO NEED TO DEODEX ...Even you can make it with just your cell phone,without the help of a COMPUTER...
Click bellow to see-
First you need "Zarchiver" and "Root Explorer" and rooted sgy duos ...
Then copy your Systemui.apk to your sd card and extract just the "drawable-ldpi" from there with Root explorer,then go to the extracted folder and change the stat icons which you want....But remember don't change the name of the icons which you have changed,rename your custom icons as stock sys ui icon names...when everything done,then open "Zarchiver" and go to sdcard's sysui.apk,just click to it and view,don't extract.After this from there delete the drawable-ldpi folder and push your customised "drawable-ldpi" folder in the place of deleted "drawable-ldpi" folder,But dont replace the folders,first delete one then add other one...
All done now just open root explorer and move the customised syssui to system/app folder and replace with original...and change the permission to rw--r--r..REBOOT now..

How do I completely change the icons in the Samsung Galaxy young GT-S5360

Dear brothers :
I installed a custom ROM for my phone samsung Galaxy young GT-S5360
Dedicated Roman Information :
ROM Name:
Hyperion - Titan of the East
Build number:
Hyperion.DXLF2
I did not like the icons
How do I change the entire Icons
You experience a number of applications such as :
ICON CHANGER PRO
Did not do any good
Mentioned application does change the icons and put a shortcut on the desktop
I do not want this
I want to change application icons on the home screen
How so .?

Decompile the application you want to change the icon of with apk tool
You can see what the icon name is in the Android manifest
The icon itself will be located in res/drawable-ldpi
An easier way might be to download an icon pack (search the theme section)
Then open the Flashable zip & find the app name you are looking for - open that folder & put the image you want in there replacing the image in the folder (rename your image to match the one you are replacing)
Then flash it in cwm with system mounted

download that icon pack
open it with winrar or any other unzipper
goto the unpack folder
in there you will find a list of folders that relate to the applications - eg Calendar
open the res folder and replace the image in there with the one you want making sure your image has the same file name as the one you are replacing
once done delete any folders to apps you dont want to replace
flash the zip in cwm with system mounted

you will need to be rooted
you can unzip the zip with any unzipper and rezip once done
you then flash the zip in cwm with system mounted
the rom will need to be de-odexed

I'm guessing you didn't mount system before flashing the zip
Remember you also need to be rooted & most likely need to be deodexed (most custom roms are already)

Read all my previous posts - I can't make it clear other than to say root - mount system in cwm - then flash zip
Change what ever images you want inside the zip keeping file names the same
If you can't understand - I'm sorry I cannot help you

[Guide] Xposed without recovery Locker Bootloaders

Okay so I just tried to install xposed on my Xperia Z and it was a success. All you need to do is be rooted. For that, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006. The procedure mentioned here worked like a charm for me.
Once you are rooted, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811. Download the .zip file and the .apk file. Install the .apk file like any other normal .apk file. Unzip the .zip file using any file explorer (I used root explorer). After you've unzipped the files, all you have to do is move and replace them in the system folders and assign correct permissions.

It's not working for me, the installer keeps saying Xposed isn't currently active

I got boot looped with this solution...bummer!

Would it be possible to explain the file copying process in more detail. My Xperia Z crashed whilst copying and overwriting the files into the LIB and now is in a boot loop. Copying the appropriate files to BIN and FRAMEWORK worked fine.

Done! Its working great! In order to work need to set the correct permissions in relevant files.

Did you copy the FRAMEWORK, BIN and LIB files over. My Xperia rebooted whilst copying the LIB files over and the went into bootloop.
Busy re-installing lollipop as we speak.

I have installed the files separately (one by one) in the relevant system's paths

I reinstalled the 5.0.2 firmware. Then did the KingRoot and replaced with SuperSU. The I tried to install Xposed followin the above steps and copied file by file like you did, and if I copy the 3rd file in LIB over, the phone reboots and goes into bootloop.

Same, although it rebooted just fine. I then copied the files again, no reboot but also no Xposed.

I'm in a bootloop again, so off to re-install lollipop...again. Becoming quite a pro at installing and rooting it now This time around, I had a clean install of 5.0.2 without any updates from Play Store. Also did a KingRoot and the replaced it with Super SU before trying to install Xposed. Not sure how @alexfra got it installed...lucky bum!

Okay do the following, copy the LIB files in the root of the system folder and assign the correct permissions. After you've done that, cut and paste the LIB files in to the LIB folder. That will work for sure. Check images for further assistance. Also check image of Gravity Box attached. Everything running great. Hope it works for you too.

Succeeded with my Xperia Z on official Lollipop ! Thanks !
To all who have troubles : take good care to the PERMISSIONS !!! If you don't change permissiosn IT WON'T WORK !
For LIB folder files use the method described before :
- extract to /system
- change permission to rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
- move files to /system/lib
For bin folder files permission are rwxr-xr-x (or 0755 in octal) and for framework folder it's rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
If you don't do EXACTLY this, Xposed won't work !

I did this on my third try over the weekend. Copied the LIB files into system, changed the permissions and the moved the files one by one. Reboot and bootloop occured when moving libart.so.
1) What file manager did you use? I used ES File in root explorer mode.
2) Did you move file by file, or move the files all at once or per folder?
3) Do you remember any specific order when moving the files? I just went alphabetically through the folders.
4) Must the .props file also be copied that is in the zip?
5) Did you do a clean install to Lollipop, or was it an upgrade from KK?
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your help guys! I figured out what the problem was for me. There were some Xposed files in my lib folder already, I assume from my installation on KitKat (I did not do a clean upgrade). So I removed those, rebooted and presto! Good to have Xposed again

Do you know what the files were so I can check?
Should I not install the Xposed installer APK until I have copied the zipped files in?

Go to /system/lib and search for all the files that are also in the lib folder in the zip and remove them. I already had the Xposed installer installed when I did it, in fact I used it to reboot the system.

I have done,,thanks for guide sir,,

Can anybody comment on which file manager they used to do the copying and setting of permissions and successfully install Xposed? I see the OP used Root Explorer. I personally use ES File Explorer with root mode enabled, but I am thinking that maybe the issue I keep having when copying the files is due to ES File Explorer and maybe I should try Root Explorer.

Is your phone rooted ?
If so , then only proceed.
Otherwise NO root , No party.
For rooted device only :
1. Download the file from the given link.
2. extract the files and folders from the rar.
3. copy the .qmg files and the audio folder to system/media (you can use any root file explorer).
4. And most IMPORTANT - give proper permissions to all the related files and folders.
5. Reboot and enjoy the party.
For permissions:
files ---- 0644 (rw-r-r)
folders ---- 0755 (rwxr-xr-x).
