Hey
How can I change the icons of Android, Apps etc?
Maybe i have to edit the .kdz-file / system.img-file?
Which programs do i need?
Thank u!
You have to edit the /res folder in the apk file.
Joost
extract the framework-res.apk file from your rom via root explorer then use this to extract the contains from the framework file and you can also use that tool to repack the framework file
APK Manager

Adb pull the app then with 7zip extract. Look in res/drawable-mdpi and you will see all images in the apk. Look for icon and replace.
Repack all files in a zip then rename zip to apk. Adb push the apk.

I have a png of a dock and I want it in my MIUI theme but how do I replace the dock thats already in the .mtz?
You would have to use apk manager and swap out the img
Change the mtz to zip and extract. Take the com.android.launcher file and add a zip extension, then extract. In the res/drawable-hdpi folder remove the hotseat_background.png that's there with yours. Be sure it's named and sized correctly. Zip that folder back up and remove the zip extension. Delete the com.android.launcher file in the theme folder and replace it with the edited version. Zip the theme folder and then change zip to mtz again.
You can also avoid zipping and unzipping by using 7zip. Just open the archive and swap files.
all you people require is:
1.Photoshop(Ps)
2.a flashable zip
3.root explorer on your phone
4.7-zip
1.whichever app icon you want to mod say the "video player",just copy it's apk from /system/app/<apk_name>.apk
and paste it to sdcard.
2.now transfer this apk to your pc and extract it using 7-zip
3.now look for the app icon the file name maybe in drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320dp-hdpi under res.."video",or"homescreen_icon" or anything...
4.when you find it just right click on it and click properties under the details tab check it's dimension something like"84X84","42X42","50X48"
5.alright then you know the app icon dimension now
6.just browse through the net for the picture you want to replace and download it or if you have it then open it in Ps.Under the images tab check for image size and enter the dimensions as per the app icon size which you found out in the 4th step.
7.now save the image as <app_icon_name>.png on the desktop(make sure the name is proper)
8.open the apk with 7-zip
9.Now drag and drop this image from the desktop to the folder drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320-hdpi
and click yes when the prompt appears and close 7-zip
10.open any flashable zip and don't touch anything except the system folder
11.open the system folder and keep only the app folder delete other folders in this app folder copy your "video.apk" and delete other apks if present.
12.now close the flashable zip and send it to your phone ext
_sdcard and flash it by mounting system...and you are done!!
13,hit thanks if you got it !!
3Minit Battery Mod for Stock Nabi2 Rom v3.0.13 ( KitKat)
( De-Odexed )
Well I performed the Mod for myself but am sharing it with you all Nabi2 Owners that would like this mod for yourselves. At the moment I do not have a flashable. It is a De-Odexed
SystemUI.apk. I do not know if just removing the original with the Odex version and pasting this one will work. You will have to try it for yourself. As always and I suggest this to many before
attempting any mods, please please please perform a backup of your entire Nabi2 or just the file in question before attempting the mod.
What's Needed / Recommended:
Rooted Device ( to extract the needed files Manually for backup )
File Explorer ( with Root Access )
Custom Recovery ( TWRP for Flashing the ZIP and/or using the File Manager or a Custom Aroma File Manager)
If you can do it via ADB Commands then all power to you.....
I provided BOTH the stock and modded NABI2 SystemUI.apk. I will make a flashable zip ( coming soon ) below
[FONT="]What To Do:[/FONT]
[FONT="]First off, go to the link provided at the bottom of this post to download the 3Minit Battery App. Install this before installing the SystemUI.apk. Then you have two choices on installing the SystemUI.apk file. You can either Flash the ZIP in TWRP ( which at the moment is not available ) or manually copy & paste or push the .apk file to system/priv-app/. If you decide to do this manually, you will then need to set the file permissions to the modified SystemUI.apk file to 0644. Before manually pasting the file in the priv-app folder, you can rename the stock SystemUI.apk file with " .bak " ( ex. SystemUI.apk.bak ) at the end so you don't have to delete it from the priv-app folder if you so choose. Now this can be done with a file explorer with root capabilities or by going through TWRP you can either use the built in File Manager and set permissions via the terminal with chmod commands or Install/Flash the Aroma File Manager in recovery to use like a simple File manager where you can hold down on the file to get a popup window to copy/paste or set permissions manually.[/FONT]
Example of permissions to set to file:

I want to add flashable zip contents to my aosp build. It contains some folders (check below image) with framework and build.prop addons. I don't know where to place these files. Although I've placed priv-app folder contents to packages/apps/here with each .mk file in it. Can any Developer help!

You place the folders normally like you place it in an existing rom using root explorer.
Basics:
What your updater script does is move the complete system folder to system partition
There is nothing such in the script which copies files individually from a given folder to destination
So if you want to copy something inside priv-app , place desired apk's in priv-app
If you want to do some symlinking or change permission , head to updater-script and edit it using Notepad++ only..
Good Luck Dev ,
Cheers

This method seems to work best for changing bootanimations on the OP8/Pro.
How to add your own bootanimation:
Download [Magisk]OPGoogle.zip
On computer, "Open Archive" of this zip with 7zip or similar program
Navigate to system>product>media in with this open
Pull bootanimation of your choice into this folder (must be named "bootanimation.zip")
Make sure it is similar ratio/description as original bootanimation in this folder!
Go back and make sure the archive is saved.
Now navigate to root of this zip and open module.prop in an txt editor (I use VSCodium but many will work like notepad++, etc)
Change information here to your own and
Save it somewhere on your computer before pulling it into the open archive to replace the one in it
Navigate back and make sure to archive saves and close
Now you have a flashable bootanimation module for OP8/Pro
The attached bootanimation is a Google/Pixel BootAnimation (black). Enjoy! ^o^
Again, big thanks to @Extreme_Ninja2099 . Hope they don't mind me making this guide lmk
