I'm trying to replace system icons for phone gmail sms and browser. i used APK Manager to replace the png exaclty the same size but after pushing files to system it still shows the old icon but when i see apk on Root Explorer it shows the new one next to it. Please can somebody give some advise.
Are you trying to replace them in the App Drawer or just on the screen?
I mean decompiling system apks and replace png files.

hi! sorry I wrote wrongly.. I forgot a word.. I know where apps are.. I meant where default app ICONS are.. sorry for confusion..
I'm asking this because I would like to replace the exDialer icon (green one) with the default JB telephone one (blue receiver).. but I don't know where I can locate the JB telephone app icon..
I think you may have had the right image, but I believe you may have to decompile then recompile the app properly to do change that. Google should produce results for a guide to do this as I have seen one recently

nova launcher allows me to change apps icons very easily, I have already changed all the apps icons I have in the dock.. so I just need to know where I can find the telephone app icon to be able to use it..

Which one do you want? If I have it I will drop box it for you
To replace images you don't have to decompile just drop them in /res/*whichever folder it goes in* with a store compression value.
Only when you need to edit XML's do you need to decompile and recompile.

mate.. you are epic!!
that's wonderful.. at last.. thanks so much! :good::good::highfive::victory:
You dont need to decompile to change .pngs...just open the .apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace what you want to
the other drawable folders arent used in the S3 - they are overwritten by the xhdpi folder
Edit, couldnt type it fast enough...!!
And that should be dropped in appname.apk/res/mipmap-xhdpi or hdpi or mdpi whichever one is for your dpi.

How do you change the conversation bubble colors in the stock text messaging app? I know I could just use GoSMS or Handcent, but I like how clean the stock app is and the fact that it works well. I just dont like that "peach" color...doesn't match anything.
Use handcent SMS its free in the mareket and you can customize everything from bubble colors to fonts to the color of the notification icon

Are you on GB?
@jhild352 I am aware of the many different free options that I could use, just wanted to know if I could "theme" the stock one.
Yes I am using GB.
There arent settings to change it. You will need to manually do it. If you really are dedicated enough, then extract the apk and replace the desirable drawables.

You can find the images in the framework. They're located in the blur-res.apk in the drawable-hdpi folder. The images are called msg_in_item_bg and msg_out_item_bg. They are .9 pngs so you'll have to decompile the blur-res.apk to edit the images. If you don't want to edit them yourself you can maybe find a theme that includes the blur-res.apk and replace your current apk with that one.

The only thing I know is yo modify your SystemUI.apk with apk manager . I don't know the exact steps .
Sent from my Ultima Weapon using XDA App
Yup, you'll have to find and replace the image files. Contact Seilent or search for the tutorial in section "Android Themes"
OK thnx you guys. Gonna do some more searching.
You have to do this manually. Open your systemui.apk with winrar. Open drawable-mdpi and you will find your current pulldown menu buttons. Just replace these files with what you like and also make sure that file names match.
Hey SGAce, i perfectly didnt understand your question. Do you just want to change the icons pngs or do you want to change their functions itself? Changing icons png has been expained before by other users but if you want to change functions of these, its a tedious job with editing xmls and resources and etc. It is a lot better to wait for the nightlies of CM7 lol
THNX y'all,
i did it, i managed to change the button png's. Afterall it was a STUPID and unnesessary question, coz i did this with a few other apk's before
Sorry, this thread can be closed.
Cheers.
just use 7-zip

First open your apk by 7-zip,winrar or whatever dicomplie apk.then go to res folder and look for the icon of this app in drawable-hdpi, drawable-ldpi, drawable-mdpi folders and replace the original icon by new icon then replace the modified apk with original apk in system folder.

More easier way
Use xplore me
Open ur desired apk as zip open res/drawable-ldpi and replace icon.png with your desired .png image
Keep resolution same as in apk
In some apps icon.png are in drawable-hdpi you hav to check that
After replacing use zip signer to sign apk and your good to go
And no need of computer

Hey, I want to port the AOSP 4.1 lockscreen to stock motoblur 4.1 for the DROID RAZR.
I want to know where is the lockscreen located.
What I know is that a part resides in the Framework-res.apk, but is it just there? Or is it splattered in other places of the framework?
Also, I want to know what parts inside of Framework-res.apk are the one that compose the lockscreen please.
Thanks in advance.
You can change that with the app called nova in Google play store

Decompile you're framework, go to the res folder and search for lockscreen, that should find any and all files you're looking for.
