Which apk, or lib, or whatever is this found in (Changed the sense version from 2.1.. to 3.0.. in rosie.apk and didnt fix the issue)? Its bugging the crap out of me as im working on my own pyramid/kingdom mashup rom for the desire hd/inspire 4g.
This is one of the items on my list of things I still need to address, and i'd rather not waste time on such a mundane thing as its apparently already been fixed in both the rcmix port and the new unity port.
I just need someone to steer me in the right direction.
As far as finding it in the code... i'll do that myself.
It is not found in a apk or lib file, but rather in an xml file. Let me search which.
Edit: After looking through xml files in the Sense 2.1 ROM I'm running I couldn't find it. I'll try again tomorrow once I got my Linux box on and I get some sleep.

Thanks mate, I havent found it in any of the xml's that are just lying about in the builds, I havent started using the kitchen yet myself (just setting it up now on ubuntu 11.04), so far its all been using apk manager, and just parsing code, and familiarizing myself with nitty gritty, parsing and editing code. I've already gotten a few gray hairs from frustration. lol
Have a look in strings.xml in Settings.apk
I don't have the phone or a ROM as a reference on me, but you should be able to work out how to set it by starting from strings.xml in Settings and working backwards, if you know what I mean.
If not, upload the file (Settings.apk) for me and I'll have a look for you.
will check it out, thnx
Its a build.prop edit look in system/build.prop

I can't seem to locate the file mentioned above. Do I need to use a specific program in order to view/edit the file.

Music player is the only app I have heard of currently in any roms. I dont remember the one tho...
Honeycomb music player was posted for the Vibrant, I tried it, wasn't impressed, kept Doubletwist.

You need to edit apps and change minrequieredversion to match with honeycomb

dont you mean to match with froyo? its already honeycomb by default right?
I think you need to edit the manifest inside the apk, if anyone knows how to do this please let me know.

The gmail and talk apks aren't in that download.
Nothing I can find will decompile any of the apk's. Sorry guys.
You can open the apk's with winrar.

I get errors when trying to open the manifest for editing though?

i decompiled the apks, but the xml is in binary. i converted that and changed the values but i dont know how to convert it back to binary. without binary the xml wont be recognized by android. any help would be appreciated?
Thats why you cant just open them in winrar. They have to be decompiled to edit them. Cant do that with the tools currently available.
First, let me say by no means should I be trying any of this, because I don't really know much about how to modify software on Android devices. I've seen the .apk from AOSP taken and used on the Thunderbolt to replace the stock HTC text messaging app. Is there any way possible to take the .apk from some Motorola version of Android to swap in the Motorola text messaging app? That was by far the best looking messaging app in my opinion. I've tried simple .apk swaps and that doesn't do it. I'm just trying to figure out if its even possible or is it to entangled in the Blur b/s for me to even ask for help?

Not unless you have the software for it. Called backsmali or somethin like that. You could try posting on a dev page and ask for it

I would rather not install another app to change icons. How involved is it to actually pull the apk from the ROM, replace the stock icon and push it back through.
I messed with this some on my Vibrant decompiling apk's and doing basic icon and xml changes but that was so long ago I don't even know if the process is relevant. I also only played with non stock apks like launchers, never anything that is already compiled to the ROM initially.
I'm wanting to push in custom icons for Facebook, Twitter, camera, market ect....
Thank you

After you decompile look in the hdpi folder I and replace the picture named icon with one that have the same dimensions.
I think I'm not sure it was a long time when I messed with apps

Me too this is why I wanted to dbl check. Also, some of these apps split to another folder right? Would I need to pull both?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Its not all that difficult, just have to decompile the app, swap icons in res/drawable/ folder I believe(might have to look elsewhere), recompile. Then as long as it's NOT a system app, sign it. Then push back to phone. There are a couple of tools to use. I like using just apktool, but apk Multi-Tool is good as well. Try them out, see which you like more.
Apk Multi-Tool
apktool
Do note though, doing it this way, whenever the app has an update(facebook, twitter,etc.) you will have to re-do this. Let me know if you have any other questions, i'll try to help.
and p.s. shortercut is a good lightweight app to add custom icons.

you can (most of the time) swap the icon with 7zip, no need to decompile and recompile. Some apps put the icon in /res/drawable, some in /res/drawable-hdpi. If you need more help after trying this out go to the theme help link in my sig.
Hi,
I can decompile/compile/sign/zipalign fine using apktool, but when i have decompiled framework/systemui all the xml files come out with huge gaps between the coding. im using notepad++ to view/edit xml.
It doesn't affect the compiling but its hard to find code to change.
example: a normal xml with 5 lines of code will come out with about 20-30 lines.
Am i doing something wrong or is it apktool?
thanks.

I ask a question on your site several weeks ago about the default messaging app on Samsung Galaxy s2 aokp jelly bean. It seems that if someone sends me a picture with text the picture covers to text and I can't read it. I asked if there was any way to correct it and below is the answer I got. I am sorry to disagree with whoever posted this however that is not a simple fix. I have Google and look for how to decompile a app and I am unable to find a app to edit a apk file. I am NOT asking for a step by step but surely someone can recommend an app I can download that would allow me to open the MMS app and edit it. Once again this is not a simple fix perhaps it is for you but it is not for me thank you for your time
This is a simple issue that the user can fix. Just have to decompile the apk and adjust the spacing. A search would have saved you opening a new thread.

If you search xda or google you will find plenty of tools that will do that for you.
I really do appreciate all the hard work that xda developers do. I do not like posting on here because I know your time is important but I also don't want to feel belittled. Have searched your site perhaps I'm poor at searching. Is there an app you would suggest that I could download to my phone or Android tablet to edit apk file. Thanks so much

Apktool, the app by virtuous team, and i think apk manager

Thanks so much however after posting this I updated to the newest aokp and the issue is resolved. It does still have the sender's name overlapping the date but not the picture overlapping the message. Thanks so much and I will still try the suggested APK editor.

Go check out the Android development guide by Google, you can get several tools to decompile an apk. As well as .dex file

I agree that response was pretty rude. I'm guessing they were trying to scare you away rather than giving advice on next steps. That if you don't know how to do what they said you'd leave it to those that do know how.
But on to your original question...
Wikipedia's location for APK format (can't post link as I'm too new) says that the file is just a ZIP file (or JAR file). So likely 7-zip or your favorite program that can open ZIP's/JAR's will work. You might have to rename the extension to .ZIP or .JAR for the program to recognize it.
Nobody was being rude. We told him to search and that there are plenty of resources already available to him. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck and happy flashing.
The post was mine and it was not rude in the least. The information for what you need to do is posted. Has been for a few years now. Ever since people started doing customs themes. You will not be able to do this without a computer. All you have to do is decompile the apk, find the XML that displays the mms message and adjust the spacing by a few pixels. And then recompile the apk. There are tut all over the place on how to do this
You may have to be creative in your searches to be lead where you need to go but that is part of the learning that android requires. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to get the outcome you desire.

This only works for 35% of the apk as the XML files are encrypted until decompiled as are the .9 pngs
