Hi, I really like Material Design and I want to share with you how to port check boxes and radio buttons with animations
(if you dont know what i talking about: Material Design)
We need a decompiled framework and rescues (download at attach). It's very easy, and if you know how to decompile & recompile apps you should not have any problems
Lets Go!
1. Dowload rescuses and extract it.
2. Find any btn_radio and btn_check files in your drawable-xxxx folder and delete it
3. If your framework supports xxhdpi resolution just copy and paste files from xxhdpi folder to your drawable-xxhdpi folder in /res.
If you dont have drawable-xxhdpi folder in /res just copy this folder from extracted rescuses to /res folder
4. Now copy files from extrated drawable folder to drawable folder in your decompiled framework
5. Recompile, and push your framework-res to /system/framework folder
Added drawables with all resolution, thanks to @rhar****
so big
My phone dont support xxhdpi.. I put it on my hdpi.. The box and check is so big. I hope you make smaller resolution icons. But yeah, it works. Thanks bro. Waiting for smaller resolution.. Hehe

need MDPI resources
would you make MDPI icon resource as I don't have PC to resizing them all??
edit: nvrmind, i can resize it
can someone make a video pls?
@KuaQ:
you sure you have all the icons?
I'm trying to compile from source by adding your files and your xml files have icons declared that doesn't exist in aosp at all

OK, there is something wrong in your xml files..
I managed to find the xml mentioned pngs somewhere on line but 2 files are refering to on_x pngs and I think that you named them wrong.. it should be the whole btn_xxxx_on_mtrl_1
here resized icons for MDPI.
Here's an attached zip containing all dpi folders created from the OP.

Even so the pngs referred to dont exist in the package so I dont know how this is supposed to work...

Shouldn't it be RE-COMPILE up there?
Just helping...
Nice post btw :good:
I took a quick look at the xml's and I see it's the pressed state which is animated. Does the animation play even if I just push the button or I have to keep it pressed in order to see the full animation?
Please elaborate a bit
I m using KK 4.4.2 as my base... now you are saying me to decompile my systemui.apk or framework-res.apk .. please elaborate and tell me which files to change as i am using a 1280x720 resolution device. Thnx in advance
I'm a little confused
So when you copy the folder drawable-xhdpi to /res... Do you then copy the files in drawable from the downloaded package into the folder drawable-xhdpi, or do you just copy the folder to /res. Then to recompile do you just compress the two folders as a zip? Or am I completely wrong. Please explain. Thanks!
Sorry if you have any problems
Tomorrow I edit post, and all graphic in all resolution

Hi guys.
I've been using the Elegance Theme by Erestor6 for some time now, but I find I would really like a white status bar.
So I went to the UOT Kitchen and designed my own.
It's not refined like the work of Erestor, but it will do for me.
Problem, in the first attached image you can see the result of my UOT kitchen mod.
It's nice but the default switch buttons don't fit.
In the second image you can see the wonderfull Erestor work.
I would like to have his switches and my status bar. How can I do that?
Also in the third image you can see a problem: whenever a phone call is started, the status bar turns black again. I suspect it's embedded in the dialer apk.
Can anyone help me in fixing these issues?

the toggle buttons are stored in systemUI.apk, you have to change them manually, not with UOT
i uploaded the icons for you , you can exchange them with erestor ones and put em back in systemUI.apk ...

Thanks, but yours are not the same as Erestor's.
But you pointed me in the right direction: I thought all these files were packed somehow, but looking in erestor's zip they are all there in plain site.
I can try a merge
Edit: I spoke too soon, the UOT zip is packed. They are already apk files.
How can I unpack them?

Yeah, that´s it
just open it with winRAR, and drag new icons into it.
as long as if you don´t change xml files, you can just drag & drop
Yes I noticed, thanks mate!!!
Now since I'm modding my phone, I tried modding the bootanimation.
I took the one I chose with the UOT, unpacked, modified the images, resaved, repacked and put it in my phone.
It doesn't work.
The images have the exact same dimensions and name, still the screen is black.
I used photoshop to save the PNGs.
What may be wrong?
One frame is attached below.

I can tell you :
for bootanimation, it is necessary that you save the zip WITHOUT Compression after modding the images ! (not just drag & drop into zip file, this will use compression !)
you can choose that in winRAR for example, just use option : save
you can have a look at my bootanimation and check archive details ...

I tryed kitchen. But in the LG ROM some files are not in framework-res or system ui.
So you can change only status Icons and battery icon but not the ugly blueish style of the whole ROM like the Icons in the dropdown menu.
Is it understandable what im trying to say?
Yes, me too I've tried several times changing the icons in the drop-down menu but so far i haven't succeeded :/
what are u saying guys????u can edit EVERY aspect of any LG ROM without the lockscreen & the icons!!!!...check out my themes' sceenshots in this thread!!!!

It's because some things are named different. You can't change those icons unless you decompile. Example, in dropdown menu/pull down menu, indi_noti_bluetooth_off (LG) versus stat_bluetooth_off (Gingerbread, CM7). UOT doesn't cover that.

Ah, they meant the Power widget notification icons.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks gabwerkz that's what i meant ^_^ When you say decompile you refer to decompile the framework-res.apk or the systemui.apk?

If you want to change those icons, they are located in SystemUI. If you have your UOT zip, extract/unzip it.
1. Grab the SystemUI and decompile.
2. Change the icon/s.
3. Compile.
4. Rename the compiled unsignedSystemUI to SystemUI.
5. Open your UOT zip by double clicking (if you have a rar/zip program),
6. Locate SystemUI (app folder).
7. Drag and drop the compiled and replace.
8. With WinRAR (my compression method is "store").
9. Exit and flash the zip.
Be aware of the icon size (for alignment) left and right. You can crop top and bottom so you can resize it's background too. Same as the Carrier background. See my unresized background example below (V20N). A waste of space. Then see my modified one (CM7). you only get good results by decompiling. UOT cannot resize backgrounds.

Remember that are various files involved:

Are there in this new ROM lge-res.apk and suires.apk?? They were in Froyo, pretty important.
I haven't even looked at this V20 Rom since I'm in CM7 and moving to HD2 in a few days.
Good luck, it looks you are doing great!

This theme I made, for most basic stuff, it's just getting png's from some clean Gingerbread Rom like Nexus one's. For more concrete things like volume bar of description text, well you have to get into xml's and test, but not hard for someone like gabwerkz and some others.

No such files, atleast the one I'm using. I'll look into stock one, but I think they are important and should be there even in repacked ones if they are included indeed in Gingerbread. thanks for the advice tony.

Hello all there is tut for all want to add soft button to Rom
is simple
decompile [7zip] framework-res.apk..go to res\values\ ...
in values creat an txt file name it bools.txt open with text editor and add
Code:
<bool name="cm_default_is_tablet">true</bool>
<bool name="cm_default_has_soft_buttons">true</bool>
save and rename bools.txt to bools.xml now
add PNG on drawable-mdpi and resize it [ PNG soft button pic it from ics or web ]
rezip your framwork-res.apk [ winrar right clic save zip rename it change zip by .apk
that all
and enjoy soft button
if you dont have soft button add him on drawable-mdpi and resize it and add it to drawable-ldpi that all
PS : if you dont find values folder in your framwork-res.apk just creat new folder name it values and creat bools.xml in values folder
is this work for custom rom based on stock?

Using a zip software [7zip etc..] != decompiling.
if u dont see the values folder it's because u've not decompiled/decoded the apk but just extracted it.
need to use apktool.

see my png file,thats in drawable-xhdpi folder
is it, what you ask for?

A lot of the time photoshop doesn't.
I usually copy out the images im editing to another folder, make my edits and then when saving double click the image in the new folder to pick up the full name including .9
I use a USB stick as my workbench so i can drag and drop without moving and overwriting things unless i want to.

Yes, I've renamed my new image with .9.png extention and I'm really think that my new .9.png is good. Then, I've use Winrar to replace the png in OnOffTools.apk. Actually, Xperia home FC because my new OnOffTools.apk does not want to install...
I'll try to recompile OnOffTools.apk instead of using Winrar.
oh you not use apktool for decompile and recompile?
i recommend using it. its quiet easy after you setup everything
i normally open the 9.png with photoshop,then i edit and keep the black borders like it was, i not touch frame.just change color or whatever.then i just save it. (same file) its the best to edit the stock files. i think better than replace with others. just my experience
(for example open stock.9.png in drawable folder, then edit it, and override/save the file same place...)
oii,im not sure, was that understandable english?
also at beginning i got errors, only while i painted wrong accidentally some pixels in 9.png files. you sure you not touch the borders?
edit: i read u tried recompiling? have some errors while recompiling?
more edit: i remember something, after recompiling you put META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the stock OnOffTools.apk inside your new compiled apk?

Sucess!!
Firstly, I didn't succeed in recompliling because my 9.png was wrong. Now, the recompiling is working so the 9.png is ok.
The Winrar method don't seem to work all the time because I've use it with the good 9.png and then after fashing Xperia home FC.
Thanks for your help.
I would also suggest using apkmanager or multitool as they provide an log to check for errors.
