[MOD] ICS Style SETTINGS.APK
Hello everyone, I came across a theme thread recently by Mr. Pnizzle (as we call him now):cool: and found this awesome link posted by him as well [GUIDE] ICS Style 'Settings.apk' - Make it yourself !! !! - xda-developers and I decided to make that MOD work on my phone, after all, I'm running an ICS theme so why not. The guide is fairly easy to follow so I don't think I'll be rewriting the Guide here.

The Settings.apk I used came from Idrifta's Number Two (#2) v1.5 ZVD ROM so it has most of his PNG's in it. You can always replace those PNG's with your own, I must warn you there are two new PNG's I had to edit and add (the guy at xda provides them) to the drawable-hdpi they are called ic_settings_bluetooth2 and ic_settings_more.

NOTE: The font color (ics blue in my case) shown on the pictures/video will not override your current font color, whatever you font color is before you replace your Settings.apk should stay the same.
EDIT: 5/9/2012
-Rearranged the APPLICATIONS section a little
-Created a section for BATTERY (Batter use)<--Thanks Idrifta for the idea
-Still working on the Toggles

download it
here: v1.4 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51753039/Settings,applications,battery/Settings.apk

Just so you know i did not rearrange the order of other sections because most of us are used to the stock layout of things within the Settings, but i can rearrange stuff upon request
EDIT: 5/8/2012
-Added a section for APPLICATIONS alone

download it
here: v1.2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51753039/Settings Applications/Settings.apk

EDIT: 5/8/2012
-Still working on the Toggles (WIFI, BLUETOOTH)
-I moved Battery Use out of Applications Settings,

download it
here: v1.1 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51753039/Settings Battery USE/Settings.apk

and a screenshot of it:

another icon was added (actually, copied, resized, and renamed): ic_settings_battery2 <----for themeing purposes
My first attempt at this MOD, and a video of the finished product:


download it
here: v1.0 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51753039/ICS Settings/Settings.apk
Instructions: download your favorite mod and push it inside /system/app using Android Commander (preferred) or you could just put it inside your SD card and copy and paste it inside /system/app using your favorite File Manager :D

I'm experimenting a few other mods based on this one, I'm trying to get the wifi on/off check box under the Wifi settings and little things like that so i will update this thread as i go :p
Thanks to:
-balamu96m for making the guide over at xda
-Mr Pnizzle for the link
-Idrifta, for providing my base Settings.apk
 
Hey great work as usual superuser...you beat me to it. I was working on this also...I keep getting all kinds of weird errors when I got to recompile with apktool...but anyways awesome job! Thanks!! :thumbup:

Hey no np man, and i was kinda bored and started working on it yesterday :)

There is something going on with apkmultitool, and the Site is down and the only way for me to run is by running as administrator otherwise it won't go past "updating... "

I don't mind at all man, after all, it is your settings.apk :D
cool thanks, o and hey a lil tip about recompiling, usually the most errors are caused from image files, so try just swapping the drawable-hdpi folder with one from stock prior to decompiling and recompiling, should save you some trouble, o and apk multi-tools is lame lol never works right, just use apktool.. you have to type cmds yourself but it's extremely easy once you get the hang of it..
