it has apkmanager in it...
It's not apkmanager...
I gone through this a few times... trust me.
Download it, install it, put it in the same folder as your Android SDK, thats IT launch the .bat file.

Arc Software needs certain things that non-lg roms don't have. Therefore you can't install it.

Same, I can get it to sorta work... it just won't do anything (how is that working??) -- lol, it loads up to the Music / Video screen and then refuses to continue.

The ArcSoft package contains the ArcSoft folder from /system/3rd_party and some libs in /system/lib (like libarc???.so). No luck for me too, maybe some more files missing. If anyone could do, I would be really thankful to him

I think there's something in the framework of stock roms it relies on, I can get it to install and load (after some nasty hacks), but it seems unable to actually function (Log just spits out "Application already in focus ignoring..." )
... But don't think I've given up, this is one of the few items on my "wish list" for SwiftDroid

Can you elaborate a bit further? -- It was easy enough to "hack" the apk to allow it to install, and it loads up... just kinda doesn't actually do it's thing. (log is no help here sadly)

How did you try to install it? Did you just "run" the apk from the sdcard?
That won't work. Because of the odex file.
You could de-odex the app and try to install it again.

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.

Here are some apks that change the icons on your home screen and your app drawer.
Thanks to Pfaffinator for the icons.
1 go to system/ app and copy your entire app file then place it on an sd card for backup if you want to revert back to your original icons.
2 copy these new apks to system/ app. Your phone will ask if you want to replace your old apk with the new one...tap yes then profit.
3 I do not know how to make a zip file yet as I am still learning.
4 I will add more as I theme more icons.
5 DISLAIMER : I am not responsible for your phone if something goes wrong.
Here are some screen shots

If you flash super Jelly, use the super Jelly updater to download a blank zip. You then use an archive manager like 7zip or winrar to place the apk's in the system/app folder. I think it has to be signed for JB, not sure how to do that tho.
Thanks for sharing tho. If these are someone else's work can you give them credit? If this is your work, nice job!
Edit: saw you said you were theming the icons. Sorry if I offended by suggesting this was another person's work

Sorry my mistake. I didn't make the icons. I put them in the apks to use with our phones. Thank you for making me aware that I needed to do that.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Pull the apks modified. Either adb pull system > w/e.apk. or do it via phone via a root powered file explore. Place the apks on your sdcard. Mount the device place on your computer. That download a theme or a mod zip. And archive into that make your changes etc flash to test then release as a theme. Message me about if you already haven't ill get to you as soon as I can.

Did it force close once or does it work correctly now? If it doesn't work correctly and you made a backup on your SD card of your original APks you can just pull the NFC apk only and put it back in system app.

Can someone who got these to work explain to me how they did it? I downloaded the YouTube file went to es file explorer copied the apk went to system/apps pasted it then it asked me if I wanted to overwrite I pressed yes it said it was installed successfully but when I go to my app drawer nothing changes...any help would be appreciated Tia
Edit: nevermind after I rebooted it changed..you should put that you need to reboot in the instructions so less educated people like me know that..thanks for these they are sweet and go with my chrome theme!

You didn't attach anything.. Make sure that you have your frameworks installed via apktool before recompiling.. best thing to do is copy/paste your cmd prompt of the apktool process of it trying to compile.. then we will go from there
