You can do it only on JB and need root. You have to copy UniMessagebin.apk to your computer and unpack it with winrar. Then go to UniMessagebin\res\drawable-hdpi and find there background theme that you want to chance, for example message_bg_rain.jpg, open it with paint or other picture editor and change it or simply just replace it with your image. Than do the same thing with skin u chose in UniMessagebin\res\drawable-land-hdpi. Then images that you edited put to the proper folders in UniMessagebin.apk via winrar but with no compression and put modded UniMessagebin.apk to system/app on your phone and restart device.
You can do the same with message balloons.

You would have to edit the images in the framework.

Why don't you try App Organizer? You can create your own folder with widgets and custom picture.

You would probably have to edit the images in the res folder inside the .apk file for whichever sms/mms program you use. So yes it could be done. Anything is possible!
poop. ok. that's beyond my ability.

Just keep reading on here had you will be doing stuff like this in no time. All you really need is a copy of the gimp and 7zip (to open the apk).

Touchwiz Screenshot Widget

Is it possible to remove the screenshot button from the TW tray? At the very least, could you make it ask for confirmation before saving the image?

I would really like to know the answer to this too. Have you had any luck?
you can freeze the app in titanium backup and black out the image for it in systemui.apk
Could also rename the .apk to .bak using root explorer

If I was to change the icon of an app manually, would the app icon change back upon update of said app or do only the files that are newer get changed in the app? Hence technically the app icon, once changed will remain that way permanently?
Also, is there an easier way than using an apk editing tool to edit the app icons?

So basically you ressurected a dead thread because you don't pay attention to all these flashable mod zips or ask the devs behind the mods. Ppl edit the apks, repack the apks, and flash it to their device via cwm, and see the change that they made.
Download from source and edit prior to packing the apk?
