Copy your home.apk file with root explorer, put on sd, then pc.
Open with winrar and change images in res/drawable. Give your images same name and pixels.
Then replace your old home.apk with the new one in your system folder with root explorer and install it.
To be sure, backup your original home.apk.
Think this will work fine :good:

Hi everyone,
can anybody tell me how I can change the font of the stock SE lockscreen? I don't want to use an app for this (lockbot, etc). Just want to change the font or the images the clock uses. Help me please!
G.
The font is in the framework-res in the assets folder.
And how can I edit that? It is in the framework, extract is ok, but how can create an .apk after change font? Thanks for help anyway.

By pulling the contents, modding, then pushing them back. Read the theme reference thread for tips.
Great! Thanks again!!!
And if i'm ready (change font, rename as an apk), should I paste over the original apk by RE for example? Is that all?

No need to be renaming anything. Just open the apk as you would any other zip and pull the files, after modding them just drag and drop them back into the framework.apk. Some say you can use RootExplorer to overwrite the original but I've done it twice in the past and both times the phone stuck at boot, so recommend using adb to push back to the phone and install.
That's why I asked, cuz last two times the same happened to me, device frozen in boot. May I use QtADB? It looks working easier for me.

You can use whatever, so long as you can push and install files, like MrRusch's Mod Tool
Do you use it anyway? (x10ModTool)

No, I prefer using adb directly.
qtADB should be ADB with a GUI, an user friendly version of it. Thanks.
done, but nothing changed. Is it sure those fonts to be changed? Is it possible to create a kind of a zip able to flash by x-rec?

i never had a bootloop with a modded framework. Tell me the procedure you did!
First I tried just copy/pasting the files from the minimal matte theme over to the respective folders inside framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk.
Then I made it an apk file, and copied it back over, it failed. So I tried unsuccessfully to resign it, and I couldn't get that to work. So I tried to make one up on this site:
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
But again it failed. I was told to resize all the image files to the correct sizes? Maybe that would make a difference? :S
Because the guide I was looking at was to make your entire ROM, and all I wanted to do is just resign the specific APK
I was watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWojkrirek
I've been using this to resign apks...

Mate theme files are like drawable-MDPI and G3 is LDPI so you should try to find same images in MDPI (from mate theme) and in LDPI (from your apk u want to modify) and then overwrite them. It should work tho.

Rekooo can you check this out for me? It's the framework-res.apk that I created. I can't tell what's wrong with it..
Edit:: I think they're all the same image size.. Also, would having extra files be a bad thing? I can't figure out for the life of me what's wrong! :S
Holdon, that was really stupid of me... I fixed the APK because the last one I uploaded I realized the directories were all wrong. But this one still doesn't work.
Edit:: I'm guessing it's signed wrong? Or what could be the issue..
Edit:: Got phone to boot, but everything Force closes.. Omg is this ever the biggest pain in the butt ever???

No need to Sign. Just resize and replace icons in MDPI and LDPI folders in the framework. Open apk with 7zip and just replace both folders.

I'm trying I guess I'm mistakenly not resizing some of them properly.. :S I'll keep trying!!!
Edit:: Problem is that on Lestatious ROM the framework-res has weird 20x38 dimensions, and the minimal matte has 25x25 dimensions, it's hard to resize properly. I'm going to try a different base framework.

I'm taking a break for a bit. Then I'll try again in a bit so frustrating! Lol Should I only change the LDPI or should I modify the LDPI AND the MDPI?
Okay, I've been testing, and you don't even need to resize the images for the LDPI res folder. So I've currently modded the LDPI res folder successfully. I simply use this command to copy existing folders over:
Code:
cd %USERDIRECTORYtowhereyouwantthesourcefilestogo%
Code:
xcopy "C:\userdirectoryTOSOURCEFILES" /U
The /U paramter in windows command prompt makes sure that only files that EXIST in BOTH destination folders will be copied over. Thus eliminating adding extra files and possibly screwing up the framework-res.apk, which I think I was doing before.
I'm going to try modding twframework-res.apk and the MDPI folder and then we'll see how that goes!
Okay, i've successfully modded a lot of things now...
I've got a couple questions:
1. Where are the settings icons? Is it in twframework-res? And where?
2. Where are the dialer button icons? I want a transparent dialer...
3. Where are the contact icons (the default contact icons)
Thank you for ALL your help arunmcops
EDIT:: Okay, I found the settings icons in Settings.apk, I found the dialer button icons in DialerTabActivity.apk, and I haven't modded contacts yet.
Almost done though, I THINK
Finally, finished. Theme released here:

Apologies for the dumb question but:
Can you use this method to install any bootanimation and do you need an SD card to replace bootanimation?

Yeah, you can. You don't need a sd card, because the bootanimation is in the internal memory.
Cheers buddy.
i tried to change it yesterday and dowloaded the new bootanimation to my pc i copied it over to the phone (dragged and dropped it), but when i check the phone via es file explorer i cant see it so thought you needed an sd card in the first place.
And do i just delete the old bootanimation from my phone or do i back it up somewhere.
Will have another go tonight.

check to make sure its not an entire update zip that you are pushing to your system media, aslong as it just consists of a desc.txt and a few parts, yeh you can push it there as described. if its an update.zip, just use it or if you want, extract the files and the smaller bootanimation.zip will be inside for you.

Great job, pajoneer, thank you! I do prefer the clear, big numbers of Notification Toggle (see screenshot, maybe it will inspire you ), but your solution saves screen real estate. Thanks also for the clear instructions.
BTW, do you know a possibility of turning off the battery display altogether (thereby again saving screen space)?

Have tried signing with several methods (including stericsons autosign here, the shortcut method here and with the "official" method here), to no avail. Even if I just decompile your apks and then recompile and push SystemUI.apk to the phone, the notification bar stops working.
Must have done something wrong, but I don't yet know what. With ApkTool, I have followed the usual procedure described e.g. here.

Go to:

you would have to change the icon in apk itself unless someone creates a mod which allows changing them.

1. Pull the apk from your phone to PC (Use root explorer or something similar) - ex. SecPhone.apk for changing Phone icon
2. add ".zip" to its name at the end.
3. Open with winzip
4. find and replace the old icon with new one
Which apk is the lockscreen apk?
You need to pull the SystemUI.apk from \System\APP folder in your ROM or flashable rom file
then open the .APK with Winzip
goto res/drawable-xhdpi folder and edit the Icons as wanted,
Delete the SystemUI.zip from the flashable ROM
Click add ZIP and re add the new SystemUI.zip to the flashable package
Go into CWM and Flash
