3. extract the apk
4. Open the projects folder and locate the extracted apk folder
5. open the res folder and search for "stat_notify_musicplayer.png" there are 7 of them. replace each of them with the icon of the (Almost!)same resolution. Replace "app_music.png" the same way. preview: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3y8ntAWWOPya01WVTRaSzdkbzQ/edit?usp=sharing
6. 7.compress,sign and zip align the apk using apktool
7. install app on your device!
note:apk compression changes the size of the original apk. the app still preforms the exact functions without any limitations.
BTW I am using Playerpro with EyeOS7 stock from RealPetChicken

Hello,
I was trying to make the app drawer transparent, tried editing the apk from /data/app/com.helixproject.launcher.apk
I assumed \res\drawable\pattern_carbon_fiber_dark.png is the BG for the app drawer, tried to make it semi transparent and then pushed it to the apk in /data/app.
IT DIDN'T WORK!
Helix Launcher doesn't work anymore, I had to restore it using titanium.
I also tried editing the installer apk, signed the app using signapk, then used adb install. and I got:
file 'helixlauncheredited.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml
Do you have any other way to make the app drawer transparent? I really love the Helix Launcher and doesn't want to use other homescreens, I just wanted to make the app drawer transparent ^_^
Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much!!
(HelixLauncherDONUT_1.2 is the one I'm using)
Try this.... You have to resign it with Auto-sign(If you search you can find on XDA).
Thanks for trying sir, I installed and it...
doesn't work... sorry. The app drawer ended up looking like gibberish with all the apps multiplying and overlapping everywhere. Have you any idea why this happened? Maybe setting the png to just semitransparent can do the trick?
Problem is if you open the drawer you see a black background with apps but under this is your homescreen. So if drawerbackground is transparent you see both.
Why you would have a transparent backgraund? The black one looks good.
Sorry for my english.

Hmm. now that you've said it, I realized that you can't just change the .png to transparent. I just want the app drawer's BG to be the same as the wallpaper's. Black is not really my color lol. I prefer grey, mint green or brown...
BTW, can you please tell me how you edited the apk to make the app drawer transparent? From the files you've edited to signing the app? I think it would be useful in modifying other apps...
ok for example helix with transparent background.
you need auto-sign from this forum(cant post links as newbie) . winrar and an picture editor like photo shop.
1. unpack the helix.apk with winrar in a folder like /helix on your desktop.
2. go to folder /helix/res/drawable and change or edit every png you like
3. delete folder META-INF and pack the rest into zip
4. move the helix.zip to auto-sign folder and rename into Update.zip
5. double tab on Sign.bat. Now you have update_signed.zip
6. rename update_sign.zip to helix.apk and install on your phone.
hope you understand, my english is not the best.
good luck

Thanks a lot sir! I have no trouble understanding your English. I will try this out on my downtime...
I have extracted all of the files and found the images for the icons that come with the launcher and I'm wondering how I can replace them with ones I have edited in photoshop...
I have modified them and tried placing them on my sd card then selecting them from "custom icon" but they wont show up full size like the stock icons do when I select one from "LauncherPro Icons".
Any help would be appreciated!
I don't know how to make a perfect Sense dock button replacement. Not even searching around on launcherpro.com/forum or lpsense.allo-mobile.fr/ made anything very clear.
In the meantime, for a custom icon, I've tried using a 640x480 transparent canvas with an ~350x350 icon in the bottom right hand corner of that canvas, exporting to png.
This seems to at least get the desired icon somewhat properly sized and centered in its dock area. Definitely not perfect though.
Editing your icons
Download Apk Manager 5.0 from xda developers website or search at google (apk manager 5.0 zip and you will find mediafire link), and try to edit the apk with it, first extract then edit the images then zip it then sign it, now uninstall previous apk and install new one(it was unable to overwrite the apk but installed after uninstalled the original).
All images are changed will create a new style sense ui using apk manager.

Important:This is a request from me,please post some screenshots for me to use.ill give u credit and will be grateful to you
This is a complete theming guide for android!!!it allows you to change the look of android completely to diifferent skins and os's
Windows Phone 7
This is a simple procedure to change the interface of android to windows phone
First of all,I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM YOU MAY CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!
First download these awesome softwares from other cool devs available on the play store or as apks on the net
Launcher 7(Home screen)
Photo safari(Pictures hub)
Z player (Music Player)
WP7 Notifications(Notifications.Duh!!)
My xbox live(games hub)
Wp7 Lock(lock screen)
WP7 Contacts(Contacts)
Wp7 Phone(optional)
Wp7 calculator
Wp7 email
Downloaded? Now for the second step,Shift all the user apps to system apps.Apps like the phone and music should be replaced.Xbox live,calculator can just be loaded.NoteELETE THE ODEX FILES IF YOURE DELETING A SYSTEM APP!!!
In case you dont knw how to make a user app to system read on,else,skip the next para
There are two ways you can convert a user app to system:The NOOB way and the XDA way!
Noob wayownload titanium backup pro,long press an app,go to special functions and click move to system app Or download system app mover.
XDA way:
Important: Make sure to allow any SuperUser permission requests that you may get during these steps..
Procedure
Configuring ES File Explorer for root read/write access (required only once):
Launch ES File Explorer, press Menu and tap ‘Settings’.
In the settings, enable the ‘Up to root’ check box.
Further down in the settings, enable ‘Root Explorer’ check box. You will get a warning that you should confirm.
You will then get the Superuser permissions request that you must allow.
Finally, enable the ‘Mount File System’ check box, and press the back key to get back to the explorer interface. ES File Explorer is now configured to work as a root explorer. You do not need to do this again on the same device now, unless you uninstall ES File Explorer, perform a factory reset or install another ROM.
Finding the APK of an already-installed normal app (skip to step 3 if you already have the APK):
First of all, install the app from Play Store, if you haven’t already done that.
Launch ES File Explorer and go to /data/app. (You may have to press the back button to get to / first).
If you know the icon of the app, you can easily find it here. If you are having trouble finding the app here due to the confusing names or because of having a lot of apps installed, just search for the app in Google Play Store in a web browser and look at its Play Store link for the name. The file name will basically be the part after ?id= in its market link (and before any other question mark that may or may not appear in the link).
If you already have the APK of the file that you want to install as a system app, make sure you have transferred it to your device’s SD card if you haven’t done that already. Also make sure you know the path where you have copied it on the SD card.
Once you have located the required APK on the SD card from ES File Explorer, tap-and-hold on its icon till you get a menu, and tap ‘Cut’. You should see a little blue arrow on the bottom of the screen now. (You may select ‘Copy’ instead of ‘Cut’ if you are copying a file over from the SD card and want to keep a copy there. In case of copying an APK from /data/app, always use ‘Cut’.)ES File Explorer Copying
Now press the back button till you reach / and then browse to /system/app/
Tap the little arrow that you see on the bottom of the screen. It will bring up a pane with the icon of the copied file.
Tap on the file’s icon, and it will be transferred to /system/app/.
Now find the app’s icon in the list of files there and tap-and-hold on it till you get the menu.
Scroll down in the menu till you see ‘Properties’ and tap on it. You will now see the properties dialog.
Tap the ‘Change’ button in front of the Permissions to bring up the permissions dialog.
Make sure everything under ‘Read’ is checked, only ‘User’ is checked under ‘Write’ and nothing is checked under ‘Execute’ Your screen should look like the following:ES File Explorer Permissions
Tap OK on this screen and then on the Properties screen. Your app’s permissions are now set correctly.
Reboot your device. Your app is now ready to be used as a system app.(optional)
Well were done!
youre ready to use ur brand new WP7!!!

What You Need
a stock based rom to work with
I am not going to go into detail of how to make on because there are numerous tutorials on how to do this. if you would like a tutorial on how to do this here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195858
This is a stock based rom for the e450. i have already deodexed and zipaling all the apps.
the keyboard does not work because it was deodexed.

Java
you can probably get away with installing JRE but this is the start of something bigger so download the full JDK package.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/index-jsp-138363.html
Android Kitchen and Cygwin
Android kitchen is a very nice program for building your own rom. this will allow you to deodex, zipalingn edit bootimg and much more.
Cygwin allows you to run linux programs in windows. (ie you need Cygwin to run Android Kitchen)
Android Kitchen
Cygwin
if you want to know how to set it up head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195858 there is a nice tutorial on how to do it.
Apktool
apktool allows you to decompile, edit and recompile apps. this is perfect for editing apps.
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Android Multi Tool
you can probably just use apktool but lg apps have to have original metainf and I am not sure how to do that in apktool so I use both.

Winrar and 7zip
I use winrar to edit flashable zips because its easier. I use 7zip decompress zips because i found errors on winrar. so install them both.

Slimming Down
now that you have a stock based rom, one of the most important things about making a good custom rom is making it fast and bloat free. the easiest way to do this is to remove as much junk as possible.
to do this simply open the stock rom in winrar and start removing.
here is a list of things you can remove from your stock based LG 2nd Gen Rom.
/system
Code:
usbautorun.iso this is that annoying disk image that wants you to install LG software every time you plug in your device
/system/app
Code:
# Remember if you rom is odexed you need to delete the corresponding .odex file
AtciService.apk not a big app but it is constantly running in the background
AAT.apk not sure what this does I removed it from day 1
AlarmClockbin.apk this is the alarm clock app you may want to replace it
ApplicationManagerbin.apk this is the app manager that allows you to freeze stock LG Apps

DoubleTapWakeup.apk this is the knock on feature, I replaced the home screen app so I deleted this aswell

DrmService.apk not sure but it runs in the background
EngineerMode.apk this is the hidden menu when you dial a certain number
EngineerModeSim.apk this is the hidden menu when you dial a certain number
FontServer.apk this is found in settings>display>font style. all the fonts look the same to me so there is no need for me to change them.

GMS_Maps.apk this is google maps
GoogleDrive.apk google drive
Hangouts.apk Hangouts
HiddenMenu.apk this is the hidden menu when you dial a certain number

Replace Apps
now that we removed all bloat ware its time to customize. before we do anything flash the rom to make sure you didnt remove something wrong. the easiest way to make a custom rom custom is to replace some apps. to do this its allot of trial and error.
here is a list of apps that can be replaced with others
Code:
AlarmClockbin.apk
Calculatorbin.apk
Gallerybin.apk
LGBrowser_JB.apk
LGHome3a.apk
Musicbin.apk
Videosbin.apk
you may be able to replace more but I have sucessfully tried the above apps. one thing we need to remember is to try give the replacement app the same name as the default. this in most cases will allow the replacement app to be called on as the default app.
for instance if you replace the home app but do not give it the same name when you flash the rom once the phone has started the screen will be black because it will not know where the home app is.
to find apps to replace your stock apps the rule of thumb i use is download download download. download as many roms as possible. use the apps from other roms to replace with yours. for greater success download a roms with the same dpi as your.
you can use this thread to find lots of carrier apps and Custom rom apps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335530
or use this link for replacements that I can confirm work with e450

Apk Editing and Cleaning
so now we have removed bloat ware and replace some apps. before we go any further flash the zip again and make sure everything is working.
now you are going to need to know how to decompile and recompile apps without getting a FC. I didnt want to write this part because there are alot of tutorials on how to do this but because LG wants to be funny about the metainf and manifest I have to.
1. First copy all the apk files in /system/framework to your android multitool folder and place them under files.
2. now copy the file you want to edit to your android multitool folder and place them under files.
3. launch Android Multi Tool and click the ... button under framework.
4. select the lg-res and click install
5. do the same with all the other framework files you copyed
6. click the ... button under Decompile
7. select the apk you want to mod
8. click decompile
9. navigate to Decompiled apps/yourapp/origonal and put these files aside
now you can decompile the apk with apktool
cd to the directory where apktool is.
type
Code:
apktool if lg-res.apk
use the command for all the other frameworks
then
Code:
apktool d appyouwanttomod.apk
now do the necessary editing in the folder apktool created.
once you finished editing type
Code:
apktool b appyouwanttomod
you will now have an app in the appyouwanttomod/dist folder
before you can use it you will need to copy the files that we got from Android Multitool.
to do this open the apk with winrar and drag and drop the files.

Nothing new till now.. Already knew this stuff, I was hoping in some exolanations oh modfiying LGSystemUI as it's more trickier than on other devices.
I see you have done a good job on sharing us your knowledge, I'll miss you.
how to deodex/zipalign
the tut you linked isn't helping me.. could you link another tut/guide for deodexing/zipaliging?
Hello folks, this tutorial will guide you how to theme your launcher icons without the themes (which you may not like most) from theme store. Before the tutorial, please be reminded to back up your important data, I am not responsible for loss of data.
Prerequisite:
1. Rooted
2. 7-zip
3. Creativity
First of all, your phone needs to be rooted. For the tutorial of rooting your phone, please refer to other posts.
The icons of the launcher are stored in /root/system/customizecenter/theme, there is a file named "icons", you can copy the file and put it in your PC using any root explorer (personally I use Solid Explorer).
In your PC, right click on the file 7-Zip -> Open archive. Inside the file you will find a lot of popular apps in China, you may delete them if you want. Now have your icons ready, in general cases icons larger than 128 x 128 pixels will be good. Take Facebook Messenger as an example, go to play.google.com to look for the package name. Rename your icon with "package-name.png".
After than insert the new icon into the archive (note that not to extract the archive) and put the file back to the phone. Do a reboot and now you are able to see the new icon of Facebook Messenger :laugh:
I created a album in Google Photo, please feel free to share your favorite icons:
