Have you tried using apk manager or apk tools? Or even m10? I don't do much modding myself anymore so I'm really, really rusty at this sort of stuff.
Edit: Here is the tutorial rachelm920 made. It's the same concept with any other apk.

THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED DUE TO UPDATES RELEASED AND MUSIC APP IS OUT. I MIGHT CARRY ON IF PEOPLE WANT ME TO IF THEY LIKE THE STYLE. PM ME TO LET ME KNOW.
HI GUYS I AM STARTING THIS THREAD AS I AM MODDING A MUSIC APP FROM ACHOTJANS ROM TO MAKE IT LOOK ARC LIKE. I HAVE MADE THE APPS ICON TO LOOK THE SAME AS THE ONE IN THE ARC AND THE NOTIFICATION ICON TO LOOK LIKE THE ARC'S.
I AM ALSO GOING TO BE MODDING THE APP AND WIDGET MORE TO GET IT LOOKING LIKE THE ARCS WIDGET WITH THE BIGGER BUTTONS AND WITH THE TRACK POSITION BAR.
BELOW IS THE APP AND SOME SCREENIES SO YOU CAN SEE.
THE ICON BEFORE WAS A RED ICON BUT NOW ITS THE ARC ICON
Changelog:
V1
CHANGED THE MUSIC ICON TO ONE FROM ARC
CHANGED THE NOTIFICATION ICON TO ONE FROM THE ARC
HOW TO INSTALL:
YOU WILL NEED TO EXTRACT THE APP FROM THE .RAR AND NEED ROOT EXPLORER TO GET THIS TO WORK. (ADVANCED USERS ONLY)
1. GO TO SYSTEM/APP/ AND DELETE MUSIC APP FROM THERE
2. COPY AND PASTE THE ARCMUSICMOD V1 TO SYSTEM/APP/
3. SET PERMISSIONS TO 777 (TICK ALL EXCEPT BOTTOM THREE RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM)
4. REBOOT YOUR PHONE. NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THE APP. IT WILL JUST SAY APPLICATION NOT INSTALLED
5. WHEN REBOOTED THE ARCMUSICMOD V1 WILL BE INSTALLED
6. ENJOY
NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE.

I have contacted the mods to move my thread. I know its sounds I wont be able to do it but its worth a try. I have the Walkman app and widget which I might use those buttons as they look cool. It might take some time as this is all new to me but I love learning so this is a new way to learn. I might need help if I hit a dead end but I hope to do it all myself. Also you can post a link in your thread if you like for people to get this app for them.
Thanks for letting me know it was in wrong section

I know what you are saying to get it exactly like that and running like that would be near impossible. My main objective is getting the widget to look like the arc but once that is complete I will see if I can change the MP look.

Same here. The reason I want to do this is because I am a huge fan of the arc. I know this is going to be hard especially when I don't know a lot about editing XML files but its a GD way to learn. My mate is teaching me XML langauge

I don't know if it will work on other roms as achotjan has built his rom from his own source's. If you do try this on another rom. Give us some feedback on how it goes. You will have to do it how I said in the op for some strange reason.

notepad ++ , but you need to decompile the apk first , with apktool to make the xml as normal cause after the compilation is binary so you can not edit them

hy my friend , you can open those xml with notepad also before you start to kill me let me explain you , the xml you have is binary xml , what you need to do is , use apktool to decompile the apk not winrar or any zip file manager , when you decompile it with apktool those xml become normal xml files and can be edited with any of simple program like notepad i use notepad++ and is great also after all your chnage recompile it and if you have made somethink wrong you will have many compilation error welcome to android lol
oh also , dont tray with you modified one cause it will not recompile after that i have trayed
when you parse somethink not proprelly like decompres with winrar change the image it work but when you decompile it and without any change tray to compile it will show you many compilation error ,

Yeah I had the same issue but the bubbles png is in idlescreen_base.apk and the ring and the button image behind the ring are in fusion.apk affter you make them transparent compile them and make sure you have a signed or know how to sign zip files. That was the issue I had..

not that i know of Matt , unless you use none stock messaging apps form the market like Handcent SMS or GO SMS PRO those are my fav to use but now i use TouchPal Contacts i like the feel n look of it
hope i helped in a small way if so hit thanks
I think you can decompile the messaging.apk and edit that way, but you would need knowledge of how to theme (which I have none of)

Thanks, yeah I tried handcent but not really feelin' it. Lovin' stock except for that bright ass background at night. lol
I wish I knew how to theme!
You can unzip the apk file, mod it and rezip.
I might do it later if I get some time to.
Ask rachelm920. I known her work since we both owned MotoCliqs. She might have an idea of how it can be done.

so basically i'm running a complete senseless ROM which i love but i miss a few things from sense that i would like to add to my rom, the dock on sense launcher, the widgets and the camera app...all i need to know is there any guide on how port these apps or titanium would work on an app like camera (what i really want) sorry if it was pointless thread guys, i've done a few searches with no result!
Thxs in advance :good:
Just download a stock ROM and pull the files out. Install them like you would normally.
thxs H, i really appreciate your work and your help, so i just need to port the apk from system/app? is there any other file to be ported? i'll give it a try after this, thank you

As he said, just install what you want, no need to port anything, all working roms here are stock based.
Though the weather widget might be some work since it depends on the sense launcher.

In your /system/app folder for all stock roms there is the ROSIE.apk(that is the launcher), and a ton of APKS with the word widget in them.. they are for the stock launcher. Put them in the /system/app folder on your senseless rom and they are back. Mind you, the widgets only work with rosie. As for the camera, if they just replaced it with the one from the sensation or one-x camera.apk you can go into the themes and apps section and find one titled HQ camera, flash it and it will put the stock one back(and it will add HQ mod for much higher picture quality).
You need to reboot after adding files back to the /system/app folder by the way.
alirght i will give it a try now! thank you! what i did before is unzip the rom, transfer the apks and zip it back and flash...gave me operation aborted! it was only the phone apk and camera, thats basically what i want the most.

If you unzipped it then you'll need to sign the zip file or simply replace the files using winrar or some other client without unzipping the file.

I could be wrong, I'd you are using cm9 or 10 and ring to install an apk made for sense it won't work because of framework . That's how it was with other phones.
Things might have changed but I haven't heard about it.
If It's any other Rom besides those two and miui attempt It's a sense based Rom and something you are doing is a bit off

What this guy said, it's a framework issue, the framework files have been highly modified, most likely he resigned all the system apps after modifying them, you can decompile and recompile the phone apk, resigning it to see if that solves it. Most likely having to resign all system apps.

I'm trying to change the unlock icon to something a little more jellybean looking. It just seems funny having those nice icons next to a plain white symbol. I'm having trouble recompiling the framework-res.apk. I'll try again tomorrow after work to get a flashable zip posted
For anyone who wants to attempt this them self the icon PNG file is located at
System>framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi>unlock_default.png
Here's the rough icon I made as well at 244x244 pixels, the same as the original. Not great but its a start

While you are waiting for the tutorial you will need to root your phone and install Root Explorer or another file manager so you can place the files and change permissions of files.
Sorry ive been busy the last few days and tonight I moved my work over to my Linux box and had to reinstall the SDK, adb and apktool all over again. I was getting boot loops when trying to do it without the proper tools plus I need em to make flash able zips. I might have something up tonight as I'm busy with work tomorrow and then borderlands 2 gets released at midnight so I won't be getting any sleep.

Use vrthemer to flash these mods. The scripts automatically update the apk with your images. Use one of the lockmods I made in the 4.2.2 lock mod thread to see how the folder structure is set. Its easy as pie
