Image names and locations.

Editing the two following apk's will dramatically change the appearance of your device.

  • framework-res.apk
  • systemUI.apk



framework-res.apk

system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi:

  • Buttons:
The buttons that appear throughout the system are controlled by 2 sets of png's named "btn_default_***.9.png" and "btn_default_small_***.9.png".

  • Menu's:
The menus are controlled by images that contain the name "menu_***.9.png".

  • Menu icons:
The icons that sit on your menu background are conveniently named "ic_menu_***.png".
(Beware that some apps use their own ic_menu icons!!)

  • Pop-ups:
These are the little windows that "pop-up" and display information and the background when you are choosing your widgets. These are cleverly named "popup_***.9.png".

Battery:
The battery icons are under the name "stat_sys_battery_***.png".

SystemUI.apk:

system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi:

  • Status bar background:
The status bar is controlled by a png oddly named "statusbar_background.9.png".

  • Notification background:
This is notification blind or curtain as some people call it. This is controlled by "status_bar_background.png".

  • Quick settings/toggles:
These are underneath the status bar when you pull down the notification panel and go by the name of "quick_panel_icon_***_png".

  • Connection icons:
All of the connection icons from 3g, WIFI, GPS and signal strength also live in SystemUI and go by the names of "stat_sys_***.png".

  • "Clear" button:
This sits on your provider bar when you have notifications. This goes by the name of "btn_default_small_***.9.png".

TIP: Anything that appears in your status bar will start with the name "stat_"

Be careful when editing .9.png's, these will cause force closes and boot loops if not edited properly. You have been warned!!!
