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?
Here is a thread for Gingerbread of exactly what i'm looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883145&page=2

Does anyone know where the keyboards.apk (the multi touch keyboard that comes with the phone stock) is located? or atleast the .png's it uses im interested in changing it to a blackish theme.
I can't seem to find it in /system/app unless it's part of the blurservices.apk or one of the other various blur apk's
LatinIME.apk is the name can be found under /system/app/
Thank you very much.

name string start with : Btn_keyboard xxxxxx.png

Im trying to make my dialer look like ics but i can't change those png to make them black like ics...i search the whole place contacts.apk dialer.apk i can't!!so can you help me find those png...i need the pngs up at the dialer the background from contacts call log favorites...etc!!can someone help me...im at 2.3
This is more helpful 1st and 3rd pic is mine dialer...2 and 4th is ics dialer...i need those pngs!!thanks!!
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?
So I have been out of it for a while, we bought a house and was just too busy to play with themes. I have a little more time now, though not much. I wanted to theme up a few things on my phone with my old epic blue theme. I figured out the keyboard. I'm trying the dialer now. First what is the png for the dialer number buttons and second I'm having trouble compiling, well not compiling. It compiles fine, the contacts favorites and recent tabs are fine but the dialer tab causes the app to force close. As a trouble shooting tool I simply decompiled and then recompiled the apk with out making any changes and it still force closes. Im using apk multi tool. I installed the frameworks and systemui. Any idea? Any help would be appreciated.

As for compiling/decompiling or force closes. I have been using the xUltimate tool redone by nilsP and 7zip for SecPhone because I had troubles too.
Since I updated the aapt and have been using SecPhone apk from 4.2.2 it's been working. So if you haven't updated try that.
Here's a link to nilsP post o the xUltimate tool he did if that helps.

appreciate the help man. I figured out the force close issue. Its a compression issue. after you compile your phone, open the app with WinRAR, NOT 7zip. in res/raw there are a bunch of ogg files. Extract them, then delete them from the apk, then re add them but before you hit ok to close out, there is a compression method drop down, select store instead of normal. that will fix it.
Found them!
dialer_bg_port_top
dialer_bg_port_bottom
They will probably change it on the next update...
I'm starting to get a bit used to smali editing and making toggles for regular things. I was wondering, is it possible to create a Settings toggle to choose between the use of one of three XML lines? The reason why I'm asking is because I'd like to include the choice between the AOSP ICS lockscreen, the Honeycomb style one, or the Gingerbread Sliding Tab one. My ROM is an ICS one, and thus the lockscreen code from previous Android versions can be found and used in ICS. I have tested, and successfully changed the AOSP ICS lockscreen to the Honeycomb and the Gingerbread ones, via editing a single line in framework-res.apk/res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml (thanks to this link, which was a reference). Anyways, does anyone know how I could easily implement a way to choose between one of the three, on the fly, without decompiling and editing xmls? Would I have to create 3 separate keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml files for each type of lockscreen and then add in the smali logic? Thank you to whoever actually bothers to help me out.
