[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
Both are simular. Thanks for the video. I actually have the sensation and it's pretty fast as well though it does have its moments.

I'd still get the Nexus as its supported from AOSP. Where as 2 years down the line, we'd still have a lot of development going on. Unlike HTC phones after a year or two, it seems like it dies down
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
And just to demonstrate how much opinions differ, I think my N4 feels better in hand than my One X.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nark.GA60:
Personally, I think the One X looks beautiful. The contrast of the white curved around the black glass is just a design that's unmatched by any other phone. The One X+ in black looks awesome to my eyes as well.

I think materials of the N4 feel better. But the shape of the One X feels better. To hold in the hand, even though there is only 1mm in it in any direction, the One X feels far smaller. HTC really have the industrial design down pat.

Screens are very similar front on, but the viewing angles of the One X's screen are much better, which I tried to demonstrate in my video.

I hadn't thought of notification lights. The N4's is much softer but has the advantage of being RGB.

Game loading is similar to loading any of the other apps, the N4 is quite a bit faster.

I changed from the One X to the N4 because HTCDev doesn't give you S-OFF which isn't acceptable to me. Also, not being a Nexus means that AOSP-based ROMs have little issues such as bad wifi and worse battery life.

2.-The room that i have installed has 6 toggles on screen and only want to appearss 5..what line of code i should to edit?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] iamareebjamal:
You should edit Mms.apk

I don't know as I never edited Mms.apk

For colour you should edit xml files

Which won't be accessed by this method

And the code you are asking for

You won't get the xml from this method

So you won't be able to edit it

But in the systemUI.apk don´t have the lidroid's icon. I only found them in lindroid-res.apk.

I tried change the color with ninjamorph, and it´s work. But if I replace an icon, it doesn´t work.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] srt99:
I replaced all icons from res/drawable-mdpi of the original framework-res.apk with the icons of another framework-res.apk of a theme...

Many icons are now new...

But i have one probleme...

the battery icon always shows as 100..

its not reducing even when actual battery status is 60%

[see attachment..blue battery icon at top]

please tell me what should i do so that it shows correct info.

also i would like to know is it ok if i replace the whole framework-res.apk file (original) with the framework-res.apk file of a theme (designed for acei)

if yes then how should i do that??
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] iamareebjamal:
Put a attachment mate

And about 2nd problem

If the theme is for same ROM

Then yes

If no

Then No
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] srt99:
i tried this method and did exactly as it is shown here..!

i used ninjamorph for extracting framework-res.apk and for recompiling after replacing icons.

i got good results. i copied icons from framework-res.apk of razodroid (by rajrocks) rom.

also i applied the same method to systemui.apk and copied icons from razodroid rom.

everything went well and nice!

but then again, there was just one problem (same problem i mentioned a few days ago).

battery status was not accurate..not even close to accurate. it shows 80% when actual status is between 60-80 (shows 60 when actual status is 40 to 60 and so on).

so i googled about it and i read somewhere that i need to replace stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml if i want actual percentage.

and i replaced those file from framework-res/res/drawable with the files from razodroid rom...

then my phone went into bootloop..

i don't know went wrong..this happens every time i try to do it...

what wrong did i do ?

is this happening because i am on stock rom (odexed) ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] iamareebjamal:
Yes absolutely

This method is only applicable on deodexed ROM
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] srt99:

More than 5 minutes to copy 300 bytes and I ended up doing CTRL+C... I think I'm just gonna flash my backup :P

Be careful with this. In new versions of the market, this information can be used to determine which apps you see. It's possible (when apps REALLY depend on Jelly Bean features) to end up buying apps that will fail to install. If you have a slow connection to Google, you may not be able to hit Refund within the 15 minute window.

The information from build.prop is only refreshed to the Play Market the first time you connect. To change the info Play currently associations with your phone, you will need to Force close in System and Clear data. After that, open Play again to push your phone data. May also need to clear Google Accounts settings.

Im pretty sure it works ,I should be able to change it, i can change anything else now.Your right it didnt work with exact method on here. Once i modified my framework-res apk with ninjamorph i couldnt install it or copy paste it but it works when i made a cmw flashable zip. i can change battery icons and one of the boxes in the dropdown pannel. I still cant change the rest yet. so again has anyone done this , does anyone know what i need to replace ?

or

download any deodexed stock rom from development section..

then this method will work without any problem..

plus you might have to do some xml editing if u want more editing !
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] cal2011:
Yes I considered what u r saying. But I still tried

Srt99 said he had no problem changing any themes to his odex rom. He said his issue was with battery changing and not being able to change .xml file

I did ask u or him for help. Maybe he has not read it or busy

R u saying it's only for deodex ROM because to change my notification panel background and phone carrier box color I need to edit or change .xml file?

srt99 tried swapping his .xml file with a .xml file for a theme for deodexed ROM probably contains many things not used in a stock .xml and got bootloops. I considered maybe that is the reason why.

If my .xml file contains the colors I need to change and I only want to change colors of things already running on my ROM. I'm thinking maybe it work

My original question asks where are files I need to change. Are they in .xml? Strange because all there .pngthat I can find are in systemui and framework-res

If they are in .xml is it impossible for me to change on odex ROM (not replace with deodexed .xml) ?

Edit: thanks srt99 u answered while I was typing

Ok maybe I just can't do it. might try and deodEx my ROM. I read they are slower. I already have trouble running games I like. Do u know exactly what files I can edit or change to change my while notification panel black?

Hello iamareebjamal,

first of all thank you for I have followed very closely in the post and your work is always impressive to just how helpful you are with all users.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] iamareebjamal:
Thank you for your appreciation and welcome too.

To change the default background, you have to edit abhi922.png in drawable-mdpi

For second query, it's not possible for now, some ROMs have that because a cool dev and theme [MENTION=4504331]dcsms[/MENTION] made Settings like that for Galaxy Y. Maybe someday he makes a guide and we are able to port it. :)

I am sorry, but I forgot to tell that you have to set correct permissions too

rw-r-r

No need to decompile. just use ninjamorph and replace /res/drawable-nodpi in framework-res.apk
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Unnamed.Ace.User:
