I'm looking to remove the transparency in the Touchwiz app drawer but for the life of me I can't find any file that is for the app drawer background.
Can anyone point me to the file and its location? I'd definitely appreciate it!

It is probably in the layout file in the launcher apk. If you haven't decompiled the launcher apk yet to look for it, that'd be a good place to start.

Did a search and don't think I'm finding the right thing.
Basically what I'd like to do is change the default Launcher Pro app drawer icon with the stock TW Application Icon. Does anyone know where that icon is located? Thanks.
i think its located in the correct section

Dude, just make one in Fireworks or Photoshop. Save it as a .PNG and then add it to your dockbar.

Im willing to bet if you unzip the tw launcher you will find the image you want. Also questions go in q&a.

Thanks for the tip. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Sure enough it was in the tw apk after I extracted it.
Care to share the app icon you got from unzipping? I need/want it too
here is the one from the standard resolution resources...
Thank you!
Anyone know how to change backgrounded stock se app drawer. Well not really how. But where that file is located?

Not sure how or if you can change that using se stock home. But if you use go launcher that allows you to use whatever picture you want for your app drawer.

ADW Launcher EX allows you to do this as well (at least to change the colour). The regular ADW might as well but it's been a while since I used it.
That's cool that Go launcher allows you to use pictures. Wonder if there is one that allows you to use a transparent background.
Not sure where the file is located though.
The arc launcher has a transparent app drawer. It uses the homescreen wallpaper

Guess I should give that Arc launcher a shot.
I could have sworn there were some themes that I used (possibly on a different ROM) that had transparent app drawer backgrounds as well. Oh well, no big deal.
Good stuff. But does anyone have an idea about the stock se background file location for the app drawer?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I don't think that it uses an independent image for the background - I think that it's coded into the app drawer HTML/ JAVA code..

I have been living in the framework-res.apk for a couple days and have had no luck thus far.

In fact, it is NOT an image. It is a hex code color (for example, #ffffff)
So you could change the color but not use an image as a background.
Case closed.
Okay and I would like to change that value to #000000. File location and name would be most helpful.

You need to have two copies of the apk on your PC. Decompile the first apk and then navigate to /res/values/layout and look in the XMLs there and try to locate it. Sorry, I haven't used the stock launcher almost ever, so I don't know the exact xml file and string name.
After changing it, save the file and recompile.
Then, from the newly created apk extract all the xml files and the resources.arsc file.
Place them in the second apk using 7-zip and compression method "Store".
Hopefully, you should be ready to go!
Word of advice: before doing all these, make sure to install a home replacement, so if the new apk won't work, you won't be left without a launcher. Or make a nandroid backup with xrecovery! ;-) Best of luck!
I got it figured out. Thanks for getting me on the right path. Problem was that I was using winrar to extract apk. For future I used the apk manager to decompose apk properly and this allowed me to edit xml.

Open the app drawer, then edit from there. You can drag to the dock this way.

What icons are you looking to change? If its in the app drawer, you'd need to go in and change the file one by one unless you found a perfect theme. There are a few good apps that let you change icons on the home screen. Desktop VisualizeR is a good one.
I want to change app drawer icons without any theme.

Whichever app's icon you want to change, first get it on your PC. Decompile it, change the icon and then recompile!
Replace it with the current app with root explorer!

- First transfer the apk file, you want to edit, to your computer. ( I am assuming you know how to )
- Use 7zip to extract the apk on your PC.
- Edit the icons you want in the folder you just got after extracting the apk.
- Now open the Original Apk with 7zip.
- Now drag the edited icons from the extracted folder to the original apk and overwrite them.
Now you can install it on your phone!

Hello,
I'm a bit new to this stuff and was wondering where the best place is to download apk files for a rooted N2? Specifically I was looking for the N3's weather widget.. Thanks!
