but why in dev section???
it's located in system/app, it's called phone.apk, open it and go to res/..., there you'll find what you search
Opps, I was sure I was posting on the themes section, sorry =( !
But after extracting the phone apk, how do I bake it into a new apk?

i always do it this way, open with 7zip or winrar, then res/drawale-hdpi and i pull the drawable-hdpi out into any folder, replace the images i want to change, when im ready i go back to the opened winrar or 7zip then delete the current drawable-hdpi and put my edited one in there (where the old one was before), thats it, worked for me most times
wrong section my friend. be careful next time!
Thank you, will test it later.
Can't find what I want to change: The white thing just under the numbers you have entered, sepparating the number line to the dialer. Thing is I wanna remove it =/
Hi!
For now I haven't ideas for what band/images I will add in future so:
Tell me what you want to see
Just install like normal app (after reboot the stock DefaultThemes will be restored so this is temporary method - to see what is the effect) or copy to system/app.
After copying you need to reboot your phone and then choose theme.
If someone will successful use it on Gingerbread please let me know if it work.

help me try dis 2 files first please!
Ok.
So firstly: in buildin themes chooser there are no possibility to use icons for menu... Only backgrounds (for now, I'll try to make icons change, maybe add some strings in xml files or must edit smail files (very hard, but possible).

Again!
Want click 'quote'...
This is the apk with first theme, without icons. I thing there will be problem with adding icons to DefaultThemes... To change icons we need modify framework or app that want to have non-stock icons.
I think that 'Glam' has very nice appirience.
Today morning I'll upload next app for you with the second and first theme in one package.
EDIT:
Please tell me what you think about this
There is bug in keyboard in dialer... When uploading morning I'll try to repair it.
Not working brov... download, copy apk file to system/app/, add permission & restart!!!
Don't know why. I install this on my phone - work, copying working too... I will see and try to make it work.
What error you get?? Try to install first... Tell me if instaling of this package is working.
Check one more time permissions... If I can use it without any errors then you can too.
Try redownload apk.
Upload with images so you can see that it works.
Application background in 'old paper' is little edited because the original was to bright and texts was less visible.
which one did yhu upload again brov...?
nice screenies... thanks so much buddy! i copy to system/app, add permission den restart... when i open display- themes, it was blank, nothing shows!
I don't know why it is blank. In my phone you have seen what it's looks like.
Take a look at post #10... There is an app with moded 2 themes. Try to install (not copy) and tell me is there still missing dialpad background.
What is your phone? What system compilation do you use? Place a screenshot with issue you talking about.
I figure out how to ADD (not modify) themes.
Take a look at attachment... There one theme added called 'NEW' (copy of 'Glam' but is more then 7 buildin themes).
i get parsing error while installing....
am using xperia mini pro buddy. what do yhu mean by system compilation?

No issue with keyboard?
If you delete original DefaultThemes.apk from system/app you can install themes (like normal app) and after reboot it will not change to stock.
First backup and then delete. On ICS this is working correctly.
To change icons we need to modify apps... This is a lot of work. In DefaultThemes or ThemeChooser app there are no possibility to add icons change mod or it's very very very hard to do.
When I buy new PC I'll write app (this is a plan ) to change whole UI (backgrounds and icons) for stock.
Hi guys, I'm fairly new to this but I wanted to know how I can change the list pressed animation style in Xperia U? I mean the white background glow on pressing and holding any list button in menus or tabs or buttons, for example see the following photo (attachments), how the background of the notification has turn to white (fading).
I thought there might be a. 9.png file for that, but when I started searching for in the drawable folder of framework-res.apk, I wasn't able to find it?
So I wanna know that am I searching wrongly or there is no such file and just a xml code which I'm not able to get my hands on because of lack of my knowledge of decompiling the apks. I tried decompiling it by apktool but it won't budge. Also to edit pngs I am using a simple technique (posted by a xda user, sorry for not recalling your name but thanks) that is to just open or extract the roms through 7zip and then just copy them back to the respective apk file. This seems to be working as I was able to create my own lockscreen. So please help me in finding where I'm going wrong.
Thanks in advanced...
You must decompile the framework-res.apk and then, search in /drawable-hdpi folder the image. Its name is notification-normal-bg.9.png or something like that. Edit it with photoshop, and, when you have all that you want, compile the framework-res.apk and change it in your phone. Do a backup before do anything.

First of all thanks for your advice, but as it turns out the Sony isn't using that file?? And also I just did it with my normal method (described before), so I guess it might be a problem that I'm not decompiling it, but as it turns out I don't know exactly how to. So can you suggest me a Guide or something like that through which I can learn to do it without any problems...?? Because last I time tried it, I got a failed app! Please help, thanks in advance...

You must use APKTool for decompile. When you got it it's so easy to use.

Yeah buddy, it was pretty easy. And I figured out what I was doing wrong before, I wasn't including framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxp.apk in the tool to help it compile the resources! Thanks.

Don't worry GOT.. IT....
i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

If you've read my guide, you would know that you'll have to add resources.arsc from new app to old app and then push old app to your phone

o my god my settings.apk is gone reuploading demet
Hello, first I don't really know if it is ok to ask in this forum, but I think its the best place to ask it, so I've wanted to change to a new rom awhile ago and im working on it now, I tryed to install a few JB roms but I really want them with the themes I have(my Systemui and so) but for some reason when I replace the Systemui.apk from the 1 I want with the one you get with the rom it doesn't work and just messes up the phone...
it used to work for me and now it doesn't, anyone knows why or a way to change it?
I really want a fast new rom but still use the design I like.
Thanks for the help!
someone? pls? ;\
did u set the right premissions for systemUI?
