MODS PLEASE REMOVE THIS THREAD OR ARCHIVE

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISSING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, COLD FUSION, ACCIDENTAL INSTANCES OF INTERNAL REVELATION, OR BRICKED DEVICES.

* THIS IS TESTED ON (LTE) 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, CM9 KANGED, should work on all until there is some significant SYSTEMUI changes, feel free to make requests, comments, suggestions, as I'm new to this

* I really would like to make some custom lock rings, as I saw the *.png's in framework-res.apk, but even changing them the stock lock and ring on the lock screen remained, so if anyone has any thoughts on that let me know.

Its 99.999% impossible (might as well be 100%) to brick using this method

etc.,

We're all familiar with the subtle cyan flash behind our soft keys, most of us are probably aware that its possible to change the color, but its also possible to change it to an image. I'm going to be making many more so please submit requests and ideas but here are just a couple and an example screenshot of it in action, keep in mind this is only when you actually press down the soft key, not a permanent background.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN

------------------------------------------------------

******************************************

I suggest creating a folder called softkeymods on your desktop, and in that make a new folder for all your different projects

because you can't change the zip file name without changing the xml, and since most of you probably don't want to do that, just do this, or ignore it and go your way

What I'm saying is you may create like 10 of your own zips with your own png's however the zip file name has to remain the same to work, so you won't be able to tell which is which etc., anyways lets do this. You can also do the same thing in your AndroidThemes folder at the root of your internal storage on the phone. Or if your daring, change the associate xml file to match the newly created zip file name if you wish.

1. open the downloaded zip in winzip/winrar etc.,

2. pull out the *.png down deep in the hierarchy

SystemUI > res > drawable-xhdpi > ic_sysbar_highlight.png

3. take the ic_sysbar_highlight.png and open it in your favorite image editing software... I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro

4. Get creative drag things in like other images, etc., just remember whatever you leave blank on the png, stays blank, which is not a bad thing, looks clear on the phone etc., keep that in mind

5. hit save when your done

6. drag it back into the SystemUI > res > drawable-xhdpi directory of the zip replacing the other one

7. put it in the folder of your new project and name the folder so you know what it is

8. now create the same folder in AndroidThemes folder on your internal storage

9. Unplug the phone as to unmount storage, or unmount it manually, your choice

10. open MetaMorph, download from market if you haven't already, free one is fine

11. tap Unzip / Extract new theme

12. find the folder of your newly created project

13. tap the zip, if its your first time doing this just hit close, but if you've done this before you'll have to hit update, then close

14. Tap apply all at the bottom right

15. Most likely SystemUI.apk wil crash and phone will be unusable

16. just pull the battery and reinsert and turn back on

17. enjoy your custom softkeys

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
