Pretty easy if you have xml
Code:
<android:background="@drawable/background">
Add that to relative layout
thanks for your fast reply darknessys
but i don't get you all the way..where do i have to add this line? And how do i decompile a xml file? do i have to decompile a xml file anyway?
I want to make the incoming call screen look like the image attached, but I don't know which file I should work with. I searched framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk,
BlurPhone,apk for the images to replace, but I didn't find anything.
Does anyone know which file contains the images?

Hi, matchung
Thank you for your reply.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I want to change the looks of the sliding bar, not that little green android. I'm using a 2.3.4 ROM.

I found the files. But they're not in phone.apk, but in BlurPhone.apk.
I don't have Phone.apk.
And I still don't know how to get the same effect as the attached.
Could you give me detailed guide?

ok, find a way to do this.
if use system theme, then you should edit the blurphone?/phone.bak, otherwise, edit the theme apk.
what we need is the resources.arsc, inside root of apk file, u have to find the tool to do so.
find your need, right click on image to replace.
here is what i did.

cheers!
and becauz this is my first post i just wanted to say hi and thanks to all XDA,
Sorry if this has been asked or posed before but I've searched with no avail, wondering if there's a way to change the ICS Keyboard smiley button from the face to a face without the dash or nose or whatever . I don't trust myself editing xml files yet so i wondered if anyone has, would, or could show me how to change this for the ICS keyboard.
Thanks all!
Update
I've tried repeatedly to edit the xml files in the latinIME.apk files and the only two smiley text I've found is in kbd_Key_Styles.xml and all i get are Force Closes when i recompile my edited apk. Can anyone help?

Wont do me any good. I cant decompile it as I am missing the framework dependencies to decompile it. I would start looking in the layout folder for the list layout xml. Then go from there. Is this a TW rom, AOSP, Ect. Those things matter as the mms apk is very different depending on device.
With SMS messages, android by default turns this : ) into this (figuratively)
Where might the code be located that does this text to png recognition? I know the png themselves are located in the framework-res.apk but couldn't fine the code that pulls those png whenever anyone types in : P.
My friend and I want to try and insert keywords that are recognized by the phone to insert a new png emoticon. We know that only we will see the emoticons when anyone types the keyword but that is our goal.
I tried looking around the framework-res.apk for this but all I found were animations and images.
It is actually stored in the font files for Android. Back in my htc rezound days I wrotea file that enabled the jellybean emoticons on ics. I can't remember off hand where those files are or what you need to change, not sure if samsung handles its fonts the same. But hopefully this helps you some. I can look into it at some point for you
Does anyone know where the font directory is that Oakley is talking about?
Or anyone have any more insight?
