is this possible?

You would probably have to edit the images in the res folder inside the .apk file for whichever sms/mms program you use. So yes it could be done. Anything is possible!
poop. ok. that's beyond my ability.

Just keep reading on here had you will be doing stuff like this in no time. All you really need is a copy of the gimp and 7zip (to open the apk).
Hey guys
Trying to replace the stock blur lockscreen sliders, which apk / locations can I find the images to replace?
Searched around a bit to no avail, help would be awesome!

If I was to change the icon of an app manually, would the app icon change back upon update of said app or do only the files that are newer get changed in the app? Hence technically the app icon, once changed will remain that way permanently?
Also, is there an easier way than using an apk editing tool to edit the app icons?

So basically you ressurected a dead thread because you don't pay attention to all these flashable mod zips or ask the devs behind the mods. Ppl edit the apks, repack the apks, and flash it to their device via cwm, and see the change that they made.
Download from source and edit prior to packing the apk?

Using Rom Toolbox with the galaxy s2 my choices of icons are limited. Because of that, I want to know if anyone has figured out how to replace the 5 Signal bar icon and ( rom toolbox only has 4 bars) the sound icon with a slash, the H+ icon, 3g icon and Edge icon. Even though rom toolbox has a 3g one it doesn't replace the default one. Also, anyways to get a differnt signal bar color?

For the signal bar u can go onto uot kitchen and mess with it. U can also get apk tool and decompile systemUI.apk, and go into drawable-hdpi and the icons will be there, and u can edit them using a photo editor like gimp.

Thanks, does anyone know the specific names of the icons cause there's a lot of them.

The network icons start with - stat_sys_data
The signal strength bars start with - stat_sys_signal
Thanks, but uot kitchen confuses me too much any alternative?

Look at the how-to section. You'll have to spend time navigating, learning the site, and how to use it. UOT kitchen is as easy as it's going to get. It's really simple once you get a feel for it. Otherwise, you can replace the icons manually. Again, seemingly much at first, but really simple after some time. In my signature, I have linked a post I made about making these changes. At first glance, you might want to run away, but it gives STEP BY STEP instructions.
K, I will. Also does anyone have the default at&t gs2 status bar icons? I backedup my statusbar when it was modded by accident

Did everthing and did not get the stock vibrate icon or wifi signal back.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
vibrate icon as well as the wifi signal are located in systemUI.apk not framework-res.apk, so changing the framework-res file will not fix your problem
Where can I locate the system.apk?

In liberty I could change the text in the pulldown menu from Verizon wireless to whatever I want. I read you could add:
ro.pulldown.text=
To build.prop, but I tried this and it didn't change. Did I forget something?

I believe there is a thread on this allready, but I'd like some clarification myself...
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
If I am not mistaken can't you change this in build.prop if you are using mashup?
I checked and you can I think its ro.pulldown.text
Here is the link to the mashup http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19698611
The link has all the instructions to flash the zip then you can use a text editor or ROM toolbox etc to edit the build.prop
Sorry for the edits but it appears that I have fat thumbs today and can't type

That's probably it, I haven't flashed mashup yet. I'll do it and post back.

I changed my pulldown text useing jrummy's root tools you can find on the market
Flashing mashup didn't make a difference although now by default the right line is in the build.prop. is this something that is ROM specific to use this value? anybody on cm7 have this done? I'll try the root tools, thanks!
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
I think the "ro.pulldown.text=" line is for Liberty only. It's part of the rom. I used to think it worked otherwise, but I've only seen it work on Liberty.
Root Tools is a good option. It's super simple, but if you aren't sure about a function in the app, don't use it. We aren't fully supported, and it can cause bootloops.
The edits are made to /framework I'll try to sniff it out.
Hmm don't want to make a new thread about it so ill just ask here. Is there a way to change the lockscreen text on CM7? The "Verizon Wireless" on the top right in particular.

Same thing, once the pulldown text is Edited, this will change as well.

Going to test to see if this will work.
Edit: This does change the file necessary. Use a hex editor like frhed for windows or Hex Editor for linux. Make sure to have 16 characters including the new banner and spaces following.
Well done sir! This worked a treat, thanks so much!
Does anybody know how to edit the Setting for my phone to have a black background and whit text, im getting tired of this ugly white background
Can you be more specific? I see in your thread title you say settings.apk. Are you saying you want a black background and white text just in the settings? What ROM, if any, are you using? If you are using a custom ROM like CM7, I believe its made that way by default. Its been a while since I have used it. I think even Eclipse is black but I'm not 100% sure. So I am guessing you must be on stock Gingerbread. Which means the only way to really do it is to install a custom ROM.

yeah im just on the stock rom, and i want to change the settings in the actual settings app to have a black background and white text. Any ideas on how to do this?? any help is appreciated
Truth be told, trying to decompile and then edit an apk file is more painful than pulling teeth. Like js said above, you'll want to flash a custom ROM to gain real customization. There's plenty here that are awesome.

alrighty, thanks for the help... but one more question, which .png file is the actual status bar in the framework-res.apk file?
Well you could either open every png file until you find the one you're looking for. But the only way to know for certain (our so I believe) would be to have access to the actual xml file within the apk that references that png resource.
The only downside is that if the apk was obfuscated when it was compiled (and most are) you probably won't have access to that xml.
This comes from my dabbling in android app development. However, some greater, smarter person than myself may have a different answer.
