[Q] How to change stock app icon - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all
Is there a way to change stock app icon? I would like to change the icons for Phone, Contact, Messaging and etc
I've been browsing xda looking for it but cant found anything related to this.
If its already stated somewhere, can you guys post the link ?
I'm currently using CheckROM V4 with speedmod's kernel.
Thanks

You can change icons decompiling, changing and recompiling the app itself, but I don't know if theres an easy way for this.

Search for apk manager, it's the easiest way I have found to decompile and recompile apks.

/system/framework/framework-res.apk deleted all ..zoom.. pics but i get browser FC and the zooms still show up in maps.
what file calls them? is it in browser.apk/.odex?
You need a deodexed Rom.. editing the framework-res is just the images... you will need to decompile the apk

EDIT: ARRG!!! what do i have to edit to get this to work (at it 10hrs still no bueno) any hints from the pros??
If you don't touch the screen for 5 seconds or so they go away. Maybe search for that time etc and just make it much shorter?

was looking for a modified browser.apk like we had for Nexus long time ago, but i could find anything that would work 2.1 or maybe i was installing in wrong...
Browser
Hey guys, I have a friend with an IPhone4 and he was bragging about how when he zooms in on a web browser the pictures actually adjust and you can see them in "hd/with clarity". I pinch zoom and the letters adjust but the pictures and clip art stay kind of distorded. How do I fix that? Thanks.

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?

[Q] Is Mclock only 24hr?

I installed Mclock and i really like the widget but it won't let me change it from 24hr to 12hr. Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!
Does anyone know??
please help
There's an option when you're setting up the widget.
If you're using an xml file, and therefore cannot edit the options available, you need to open the xml file. Change where it says is24hour="true" to is24hour="false". In that same line, add leadingzero="true" if it doesn't already exist.

[Q] WiFi settings in custom ROM

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. i could not find a definitive answer.
I'm creating a custom ROM for a Nexus 7. I'd like to preset my Wifi Settings before flashing the device. I'm compiling AOSP from source and I already manage to include most of my settings (i.e. wallpaper, boot image, etc) in my custom ROM, but I can't seem to find a file or sqllite DB to configure the WiFi.
Thanks for your help.
Hey... Sorry i don't know answer to your question...
But i have a question...
How you preconfig'd settungs in your rom...
Did you just replaced default wallpaper of your choice or you really preconfig'd it like app on launcher homescreen on first boot...
Can you share...

Should be in /data/system you will find the WiFi files there.

Hello!
I was wondering if you can share or point me in the right direction... I am making a custom ROM and I want to pre-configure some settings...Like choose a wallpaper, and add some widgets on my home screen or app shortcuts, set ringtone and volume and other stuff. After I flash the ROM to have all the setting that I want.
I understand that you managed to get some of these things done.
Thanks
+1
I would also like to Learn how to set defaults in your own custom built ROM! I thought it had something to do with the boolean values in the framework.apk , systemui.apk and the respective app's Boolean values but, it didn't quite workout for me. Am I wrong or is that how its done and am I missing something?
Thanks

[Q] haw can i change setting.apk to have a black background with white text

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.
