Editing a modded .apk file? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if you can edit an .apk file (modded weather widget application) in order to change the weather provider it uses?
The widget has two weather providers as an option for you to choose and i want to add or change to another one.

This is not development, so moved to Q&A
Pull your framework-res and have a look, or the apps apk and change it directly.

I had the same issue with my modded theme ADW theme, you need to pull the apps such as "Conversations.apk" which is basically MMS.apk on 1.6 and either change the icon in the apk itself or rename the icons in the theme to what they are now called in 2.1, and the only way you'll find that out is by pulling the apks and opening them.
Ferk.... alot of digging around , after ive found as many as i can that work ill post a list of what to rename your icons to in your theme to replace the default icons. If you or anyone else already knows some can ya post it to help out thanks
Looking for stuff like this .....
Shortcut icon to the camera is named ....
Com_camera_cameraactivity
(or something like that)
So i would need to rename my icon from icon.png to com_camera_cameraactivity.png , then place it in the theme apk using eclipse , under a folder named /res/drawables_hdpi/ .
After that i would install the theme and the camera icon will have changed to the icon i want.
So thats the info we require ; the correct icon renames for as many apps as posible .

BeWeather/ TTF files

I use BeWeather. Inside of the app it says to use custom fonts move the font to, mnt/sdcard/beweather. However I cannot put a TTF file at all on my phone. Also the program will not recognize any other font type that I have tried. Any suggestions on how to get custom fonts in BeWeather?
I don't mean to change the subject...but its BeWeather related so its not a complete thread hi-jacking...but on yours are the top of XL type weather icons cut off on the 2x1 widget? This is driving me nuts....
I don't know how to add new fonts either...but would like to...

Lockscreen Wallpaper - Save or Find Location?

I'm running Omega ICS and using Go Launcher.
Want to save the custom wallpaper on my Lockscreen as a jpg or png file, but do not know where it is stored. Any idea?
Else I could save it if anyone knows an app/util that will save the existing Lockscreen Wallpaper? I have used the app Wallpaper Set and Save to save the Home Screen wallpaper, but cannot find a similar util for Lockscreen.
Thank you!

You mean you need the stock wallpapers??
It's mostly in the form of an app. Take a look in system/app. Might be called TWWallpapers.apk (not sure about the name though).

I'm actually trying to either (a) extract the file for my existing lockscreen wallpaper (which is a family photo) or (b) dig into my nandroid backup to retrieve the lockscreen wallpaper.
For either (a) or (b), just knowing the exact location of the wallpaper would be perfect. [[ I'm running Omega v13 and using Go Launcher. Not sure if the launcher impacts the location of the lockscreen wallpaper. ]]
Or for (a) having an app similar to Wallpaper Set and Save that would save my existing lockscreen wallpaper to a jpg or png would be equally useful.
Thanks again for trying to help
Did you ever figure this out?
Hi,
anyone found location of actual lockcscreen wallpaper. image? My SD card got damaged, so I lost all my photos in gallery, and trying to save my photo set as lockscreen wallpaper.
Thanks

[MOD REQ] modded systemUI

dear s advance users,
does any one know to modify the app drawer shortcut on the stock ddulp8 jellybean(i think its natureUX) ?
actually i wanted it in the center ie, if i have five icons on the dock i need the app drawer shortcut in the center (like the one in the first attachment)
and
also does anyone know how to change the app drawer shortcut icon(is it by modifying the systemUI.apk??)
i like apex launchers app drawer icon as seen in the first attachment
any ideas mate?
SystemUI is notification bar.You should edit SecLauncher.apk (Touchwiz's launcher) for it.
so how do i eit seclauncher so that i can reposition the app drawer shortcut?
and for changing the icon can i change the png after unzipping the apk and re- zip it ?

No, probably you should decompile the apk.

[Q] how to edit launchers, to change the icons of apps in the app drawer

Can anyone tell me how to edit launchers(stock ones)(NOT launchers like Apex,Holo, Nova etc.) , so as to change the icons of installed apps in the app drawer of the launcher.
The launcher I tried is a modified Chinese launcher.
It had it's icon files in assets/theme/icon/80
and the icons appfilter.xml in assets/theme/icon/icon.xml
I decompiled the apk and changed the contents of the folder to my choice of Icons which I took from an Icon pack app from play and replaced the icon.xml with the appfilter.xml file from the same icon pack and renamed it icon.xml and recompiled it with apktool.
The problem is that only the icons of settings, contacts, calendar and browser are changing.All other apps icons remains unchanged.
How to change the icon of all apps that is present in the icon/80 folder.
I hereby attached the original launcher apk below
The phone is running Custom Rom on Gingerbread 2.3.6
Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks.
