newbie here
sorry if i posted in the wrong place
i want to have a custom statusbar
i have copied and extracted systemui.apk
In the SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi folder there is statusbar_background.png
if i replace the existing image with the one attached below and save the apk file and replace it in the phone (if possible) will it change my statusbar image???
i tried uot kitchen but i didnt find the option to add personal statusbar (topbar)
i could only select 1 from its list or select a solid colour
any help, links, info appreciated
thnx
EDIT: also if i cook a theme edit in UOT Kitchen is it possible to edit the statusbar image in that zip file and then update the phone by flashing it
Any help in editing systemui.apk???

Enjoy!!! I will be updating this little by little but it has a very custom feel to it so far.
*** NOTE ***
Backup your manila files first. This will overwrite them.
0.9 changes
- added a new clock
- added background (will try to get bg for all tabs worked out soon). BG is in the zip file
Installation:
1. Extract files to your pc
2. Copy files to your device into any folder (other than \Windows)
3. Go to today settings and disable Tf3D
4. On you device use a program other than file explorer (resco explorer or total commander) and copy the files to the \windows folder
5.restart TF3d
6. Enjoy

all you need is manila editor (you can do a search for it) and then copy the *_manila files from your /windows folder on your device to your pc. Next start up the manila editor and point it to the folder you copied the *_manila files too. Now you can scroll through every image build into TF3D when you find th eone you want to change just export it as a jpg, png or whatever you like to work with. Change it to any color you like with you favorite editor (i think even paint brush will work for this task). Finally just go back to manila editor and press the replace button on the image you want to replace (the people frame in your case). You can now create a zip file of the image you replaced. Create the zip file and extract it and copy it back to the /windows folder on your device (overwriting the old one) Restart Tf3d and you will see your change
If anyone knows of a better tutotial for manila editor out there please respond
10x man!! I'll try
Hi all...
Like u can find a lot of cab files for EXCELLENT TASK BARS WITH COLOURED-ICON for Xperia... Can any one make a cab file which makes ICONS IN CONNECTIVITY BUTTONS IN SE PANELS COLOURED...NOT THE DEFAULT GREYISH BLACK (Coloured WiFi, Bluetooth, Phone, Volume Control Icons) & preferably bright neon type colours.
I think other Xperiancers would love it 2.

its easy dude, just copy the contents to your desktop, change some of the extensions to zip (cant remember which but i did it already) even the clock and weather icons are skinnable
edit the icons with an image editor, replace the files in the compressed folder and rename it
Hi Spikegotti
Can you plz share the coloured-icons which you have made or tell me step-wise how to do it as I CAN NOT DO IT ON MY SELF DUE TO MY LACK OF COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE. Thanks.

hey, i have stock icons, i did not edit anything, well not yet...
like i said, copy the contents from the sony ericsson panel folder to your desktop, change some of the extensions to zip (cant remember which but i did it already), extract the contents from the zip folder and edit them one by one...even the clock and weather icons are skinnable...
just remember to rename the zip folder back to the original extension, maybe later tonight i will leave exact instructions if u still dont understand
Hi,
I'm trying to build a 6.5 ROM and the settings icon doesn't appear in the start menu and I've searched and found that I need to edit
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\Startinfo\
Modify the "HideSettings" from 1 to 0
but I can't find this registry entry in Ervius so could someone please tell me how to find it in the kitchen please.
Thanks.

just create a new folder into any of EXT folder packages .. and create a new Text file .. open it and edit these keys :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\[COLOR="Red"]XXXX.lnk[/COLOR]]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\[COLOR="Red"]yyyyy.png[/COLOR]"
change XXXX.INK to your app name, and ( yyyy.png ) to your PNG image name
now save the text file and Rename it to ( app.reg )
Could you tell me what I should put for the default icon please.
What should XXXX.ink be?
What should YYYY.png be?
I don't want any custom icons just the original for settings please.
Hi, does anyone know the name and location of the PNG / pic files to change the top and bottom bar and the windows button, or are these wrapped some how?

Actually they are png's but it depends on what theme your using because they ussually are tagged. for example my startbutton is called Mikenificent_bubble_flag
Bottombar:
Mikenificent_SKBackground
And topbar:
Mikenificent_Taskbar
So what you could do is look for groups of png's in your windows folder and see if one of those is using bubble_flag.png
cheers for that, probs just some trial and error required on my part.
They are NOT Manila File they are clear PNG images files and they don`t have special name.. all depends from the Theme if you create your own Bars and your Own theme you can name the Bars whatever you like.. just need to write in the Theme file the names of the bars to know when you choice this theme to use this PNG`s
The PNG files for the top and bottom bar are the same size they must to be
480x52 thats all
For example the easy why to find some Bars you want in your rom.. is for example you like the Bars of the theme Classic Blue.. then go in windows and copy the Clasic Blue.tsk to your SD card and then via Sync download to your desktop pc.
Open this .TSK file with Wince Cab Manager and you will see the whole theme i mean witch files are used for the Bars and witch are used for the Wallpaper if have wallpaper or any other images depends of the Theme.. when you know how are named this files you can extract them
I recently downloaded the kitchen to cook android roms. I have successfully cooked one but I want to change the initial setup wallpaper. Can someone please help me by telling me which file that png or jpg is in so I can go in and change it and recook the rom?
I searched through the rom and finally found it in the setupwizard.apk. I changed it out using 7zip and recooked the rom and it works flawless......:highfive:
