adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Open it up, Find the images, Then edit in your favourite editing software (If you're using Photoshop Press Ctrl+U to change the colour )
Next put the images back in the apk file and push back to the phone

I finally figured out everything with a bit of time and patience. Going through a lot of photos and finding the ones that I needed to change. All I did was upload the .apk to my dropbox, download it onto my PC, rename it; framework-res.apk.zip, allowing my to open and explore the file freely. After gathering the photos that I needed, I extracted them, edited them and then placed the edited photos back where I got them from, over-writing the old ones. I then took out the .zip extension and re-uploaded the file to dropbox and downloaded it onto my phone.
Hey guys,
I'd really like to make my own skin(s), because I'm never done customizing my device (when I have a nice skin/wallpaper/whatever, I'm done with it after 3, max. 4 days already, depending on my "mood" LOL). I already have a nice 3.0 skin in mind (a Beats skin, yeah this week I'm in a music mood), but I don't know how to realize it.
First problem: I have a nice lockscreen logo and navbar, but how do I make the logo round (without the square black box around it, added pic of it, I really don't know how to get the logo/navbar ONLY, because paint can only select squares, not circles.) and how do I get the navbar transparant red? I want to use the one made by binarybulge, but transparant red (pic added for this one too) I already have a nice wallpaper, but now I also want to make the notification bar red-ish.
Final question: when (actually, IF, I'm not sure if someone makes the guide and if I will succeed) I have the skin ready, how do I make it into an installable .apk?
One last note: I have the installation file of photoshop ready on my laptop, just not yet installed. So if I need it, I DO have it.
Thanks in advance!
Quick edit: I don't think it matters a lot, but I have a GSM Evo 3d android 2.3.4
Hey man, I'll write up a quick tutorial on the basics. Honestly, it's not hard, just time consuming. I'll post that whenever I get it done.
In order to take the background out of that photo, you will need an image manipulator such as GIMP or Photoshop. Gimp, to me, is easier but you can use either. I'll send you the how-to for that as well.
Here you go,I wrote up this tutorial for another member,if you have any questions just ask,you can always pm me

Did you add apkmanager to your path?
No, I didn't do anything outside of the steps.
How do i "add apkmanager" to the "path"?
This is from my Vista work box but he probably means this:
Right click My Comp,
Properties,
Advanced System Settings,
Environmental Variables,
Find "Path" in System Variables" list at the bottom,
Highlight/Edit
insert ; to seperate new path,
type path to toolkit

By "toolkit" you do mean path it to the folder that apk manager's folders are in?
I did that and retried it, and still came up with same error.
Was i suppose to path a particular folder n the apk manager folder?

Go to start menu & right click on "computer" then click "properties" the "Advanced System Settings" then "Environment Variables" under the "System Variables" tab scroll down to "path" click edit (BE CAREFUL NOT TO DELETE ANYTHING) now you need to add the path to your tools.Here's an example
;C:\apkmanager\other\;
I house all of my tools on my C:\ drive for simplicity sake.
In the "other" folder located in apkmanager is were the relevant tools are and need to be added so make sure when you add it to your path you include the "other" folder

No,that's why I was extremely specific & wrote in bold letters not to delete anything when I said this in one of the above posts

Hi All,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to Android and am having difficulty following instructions to apply a volume hack to my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.04).
Note: I have managed to root my phone, and have ES File explorer installed. All text in full caps is mine.
Here's the link to the full instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1722136
Summary
1) Download attatched file ('default_gain.conf' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')
2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!) I'VE GOT THIS FAR
NEXT STEP IS THE ONE I HAVE PROBLEM WITH - HOW DO YOU DO THIS?
3) From ADB or the Terminal do: HOW/WHERE DO YOU OPEN TERMINAL?
Code:
killall mediaserver
Just read the link you posted. You don't have to use terminal, just you es file explorer to push the file to where he stated, change permissions then just restart your phone. The only reason he said to use the terminal was to reboot the media scanner, but rebooting your phone does exactly the same thing. Hope I could help

Thanks. What do you mean by change permissions?
You can long press on a file using es and I think you go to properties then change the file permissions from there, you would have to look up what the permissions need to be.

It should look something like this
XX
X

There will be boxes put the ticks in the same order as my x's and then restart your phone.
Sorry for the bad description.

Thanks. Next problem. Using ES File Explorer under local, I can't find "system/etc" or similar. I have rooted my phone.
As soon as es loads in you have the main internal SD screen. Press your s3's back button and you will be able to find the system folder from there.

Oh and you have to enable root explorer in the settings in es.

OK. I long press on default_gain.conf
It gives me the option to open as text.
I open using ES Note Editor.
There's a huge amount of text lines. Question, how do I scroll through the lines really fast? About 15% through file and can't find tick boxes you describe.
I have no idea how you can scroll any faster I'm afraid and when you go to properties on the file you should see a button that says change. You might not even have to do it, I'm not sure whether its just when installing an apk file.

HI
I installed the Galaxy S3 Omega Rom and downloaded the Omega Kitchen files from the google Play Store
"Omega Files Galaxy S3"
Ok so on my mobile I choose the battery mod and the boot up animation I want. It's a zip file and I download it into my internal card so how do I Install it?
The instruction says "Install the files using your favorite method". and I'm left scratching my head saying to myself how... from where?What do I use to install it?
Please help?
Depending on the kind of file, it differs. If it's a zip file, usually it will be flashed through recovery. If a regular file, then use your root fine manager and replace it with the original file in the corresponding directory

Things you need:
1. Root
2. Root Enabled File Manager
3. New Boot Animation
I always recommend a nandroid or cwm backup of a phone. If you decide to try this be careful that you don't delete or rename the wrong files and I take no responsibility if you do.
1.Using your file manager browse to system > media
2. You will see a file called bootanimation.zip. Copy it out. Browse to your sdcard to the location of your new boot animation
3. Rename your new boot animation to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already
4. Copy the new boot animation to system > media
5. Reboot and Enjoy
If you ever want to change back to stock boot animation delete the bootanimation.zip and repaste the original bootanimation.zip and your set to go

Can anyone take Connor P's theme found here.
http://mycolorscreen.com/2013/02/13/mnml-blue-2/
And make a zip thats usable with CWM Touch please?
I've attempted multiple times to get it correctly and I still can't achieve what i'm trying to do.
If its possible. I would like someone to make a .zip so i can just run it thru CWM Touch and reboot. And wala .. it will be there kind of thing.
Please let me know if this can be done.
thanks!
Instructions seem to be pretty self explanatory. I highly doubt anyone would take the time to if it's even possible. Which im assuming it isn't since it's basically a nova/apex layout, not really a "theme". Probably another good indicator it's not possible or that guy would've made a flash able zip to begin with. Id reread the instructions carefully and if its not working, you're probably doing something wrong.

If it is possible it wouldn't be a flashable zip, but a saved setup you would have to put into a folder for Nova to restore. I'm not sure if it will let you use someone else saved setup though.

All you have to do is spend 10 minutes figuring out how UCCW works and the rest is easy. The instructions are right there on the site. It's not as hard as it looks =)
