I'm running LiquidSmooth on my TBolt and I cannot, for the life of me, find where I can change the lockscreen text in the decrypted framework-res.apk.
I read that I could change it in /res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock but I can't find it, via looking or with a CTRL-F.
Any ideas where the option could be? Or is there an easier way to do this?

Once you decompile the apk, you should be able to see the /res folder. Google apk tool or apk manager.

Anyone know how to mod it? I am trying to get rid of the gray look and make it more gingerbread-like.
The problem is everytime I extract it and re-zip + sign it with apktool it doesnt let me install it on my phone.
I cant re-compile it either after editing the png files...
if anyone has any ideas let me know...
If you are editing a .9.png file, you need to follow a slightly different procedure via APK Manager.

Ive been modding Handcent sms for some time. Link Can you explain what are you looking for? or Im guessing you have apk modding issue not really handcent
you don't need to use apkmanager or deconstruct/reconstruct apks to mod it (or any other app/widget for that matter).
download ninja morph from the market. you can select the apps from the phone, it will extract them and you can swap .9's inside ninjamorph to theme the apps/widgets.
i know with downloaded apps, you have to have them installed to system/app though. so you may need to move handcent to system/app, then chmod the apk, then reboot before doing the ninja morph.
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?
Hello, maybe this is the wrong thread but i seem to not be getting any help over at Q&A's... I'm porting a theme from the captivate forums and for some reason my dropdown notifications have a transparent background and the text is black as well for any popup window like when you long press the homescreen to get widgets, and wallpaper chooser, so i think i need to modify either the framework-res.apk or the twframework-res.apk but don't kno exactly what file to modify to either get the text to white or get a background on those things... if anyone would advice me i'd appreciate it... thanks
Also if anyone could guide me into modifying the services.jar to change the clock color i would also appreciate it...

Well for the notification pulldown background ive got the one i wanted... what im referring to is when u have a notification, for instance you downloaded something from the market and u get successfully downloaded that one notification has no background it is set to transpare t and the letters are black so i can really read what it says...
anybody wishing to help?
If it is an image you need to edit to be non-black/transparent the file I think you're looking for is called "status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png"
Change that to a totally opposite color and see if that's it?
If you mean editing the color of the letters then I do not know what to edit in the .xml file.
Hope I helped!
How can I modify the XML files? 'cause when I extract them from apk file, all of them are protected, I can't read any codes. Can anyone show me how to fully unprotected them?
P/s: I always get this error "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource..." whenever I open xml file with IE.

they must be decompiled with apk manager
additionally when you recompile make sure to check the log as there will be several images that will be renamed from. 9.png to png you must use the draw9patch program found in the tools folder of the android ask to 9patch these images otherwise your apks will not compile correctly. Im on my phone now so I can't provide the necessary video link how ever simply go on youtube and search how to use draw9patch there is a very good beginners explanation (2 part) of what a 9 patch is and how to use the 9 patch utility

it varies, they can be in any folder really, but generally speaking that is where you will find most of them. Just check the logs and you will know exactly where to find them and what they were named.

am trying to edit the framework-res.apk
am trying to change the images of the slider (jog_dial_bg_rev.png) but when i save it and then install or move the .apk to system/framework folder
the phone crashes? has this got anything to do with the MD5?
all i wanna do is change the slider image based on the CM7 pro v20 ROM
my reason is because the black shadow covers the incoming call number

Instead of extracting, Just open it with winrar or 7zip and drag and drop image in the 7zip window.

Hi I've been trying to change individual icons for my apps in MIUI with no luck. Does anyone here know how to change the icons?
Or if the only way to do it is to make my own theme, does anyone know how to do that? I've tried to follow a guide on the MIUI forum with no luck. It was a really easy thread and just didn't work at all.
Have also tried to modify an already existing theme with no luck. (rename .mtz to .zip. unzip, change the icons they have in there, rezip, rename to .mtz, do import theme from theme manager).
This has been bugging me, so if anybody knows that would be amazing! Thank you!
There might be an easier way, but I'm pretty sure you can open each application apk with a zip tool(winrar) and pull out the image icon, then edit it and replace the original in the zip tool(overwrite). then push the apk back to your phone.
So I've decompiled SystemUI.apk(Scott's CleanROM2.1 ICS) and I'm trying to find out what makes the data icon change. I know where the icons are but I can't find any smali or xml that actually swaps the images. I've checked Galaxy Nexus ROMs as well and still can't find it. Can anyone assist me finding this or join the quest to locate this information?

I will try to help and get a look at it later.
In the mean time try a text search (Win7 gives you the choice to look in the files) in the decompiled folder for an occurrence of the png name with the .png and you may get a pointer to where it is controlled.
It is more than likely in the anim folder.

Checked there. I'm running Ubuntu at home and grepped SystemUI, com.htc.resources and framework-res on GB and ICS and came up empty.
