You can try using 7zip to extract the image, many .png and .jpg images will be easily obtainable this way. If that fails try brutall's apk decompiling tool, just Google it, its easy to use. Or I blevie daneshm (something like that) made a different one based off brutall work. Either way there are many to chose from and all easily found with the search button

RE: What you can do is look on xda for an android app called Zarchiver. This opens many file types. Make sure to download the arm version.
Then navigate to the apk file, hold the touch screen and click open as archive. Also, goto <filename.apk> and navigate to /res/img/hdpi then grab your image. Here's the link to Zarchiver- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154241 remember, get 0.65 arm (the first link).
Gonna try, thanks

This is just the plain CRT effect. No custom roms, no pre-made files or anything. (You need root)
I've searched for this on XDA, Google, other forums etc. but I couldn't find it.
It always showed up ROMs including this feature, not the actual feature itself
DO A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!
Also, you need root
1. Pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework/ folder via ADB (Alternate way below*)
2. Decompile framework-res.apk with APKTool/APK Manager (Whatever you prefer..)
3. Navigate to /res/values/ and open the bools.xml file with Notepad++ (Notepad works too )
4. Search for "config_animateScreenLights" and change the "true" to "false".
5. Save, and compile the file. Open the fresh-compiled file and copy resources.arsc to the original apk. (Overwrite the existing one)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Transfer the framework-res.apk file back to your phone, and then switch it with the original one
You must reboot to make it work!
*If you don't know how to push/pull files via adb, you can use Root Explorer and copy it to the /sdcard/ folder, then transfer it to your PC.
If you switch it back with root explorer, programs will start to force close. Just reboot and you'll be fine

Would you like to explain step 5 a bit further? I'm a bit confused. I'm using apk manager and it asks me a bunch of things and you don't tell me where to overwrite the arsc-file, etc.

Ah, so sorry.
Open the original framework-res with WinRar. And do the same with the modified. In there you'll see the resources.arsc file
If you don't know how to use APK Manager, use google.
Not trying to be rude, I'm just in a little hurry
I'll ask a mod later if he can move on of my posts up, and then I can perhaps create a more user friendly guide

I read your thread, and know what you posted.
What I'm saying is that if someone makes the anim for example KF3, it would only take a few seconds to upload so other people could use, while diy CRT anim takes at least 5 mins even if you know what you're doing.

Hmm...I don't have a res/values folder (just res, there is no values). There is also no Books.xml anywhere in the apk. I'm on stock rooted KE7...Is the value somewhere else on my version? Am I doing something wrong?

And you decompiled it right? I know i you were to just open the apk it would have a res but not res/values.
I followed the instructions ... and used APK Manager, I complied, signed, and before i quit it asked me to delete a file...resources.arsc
do i have to do that?
also, i noticed the APK Manager made signed apk of less size as compared to original file
original apk file size = 8.05 mb
complied, signed apk = 5.16 mb
is that normal?

I know this is probably not the right place to post this, but I am trying to figure out how to install a boot animation on my vibrant. I have cm7 installed and found a forum that helped but all I get is a black screen or the plain android logo. I used super manager and moved the zip file to /system/media. And set the permissions to what it told me to. When I reboot nothing. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I have become quite savvy with my phone. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You didn't exactly say this but, is the file named simply bootanimation.zip? Not talking down but trying to help. Other than that seems good.
The original file was named bootanimation.zip and I found a transformers one that I wanted and it was named bootanimation_transformers.zip. I tried leaving the file name, got the android logo. Renamed it and got a black screen.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
search the Vibrant forum on custom boot animations... download a flashable zip boot animation file from one of the great devs on here then swap your images in place of theirs, re-zip it and flash it with CWM... worked for me like a charm!
One question, how do I replace images? Super manager won't let me unzip files. Do I need to use the PC for that or is there a simpler way?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
My vote goes to PC
I used PC for everything as well...
Unzipped and re-zipped with 7zip and modded images with Gimp...
Thanks, I will give that a try when I get home and let you if it worked. Just to maybe clarify. Would I have to unzip both the original file and the new file and replace the new files with the original file and rezip and put back? Cause that is what I am going to try.

You can theme the apk easily by opening it as an archive in winrar but DO NOT EXTRACT, just open the apk like a folder, drag in the new images to the right place, then close the apk and click "yes" to save the changes...

It won't install normally, you have to push to system/app, fix permissions, and reboot.
I'll make an Xrecovery zip in a few hours when I get back to my computer.
Ok, try this zip in xrecovery(attached)
Also, you can finish theming the apk how I explained, then open the xrec. zip I posted with winrar/7-zip and drop in the themed apk to replace the old one (the same way the images are done) and then flash away!
Once you are completely finished modding the apk you should zipalign it for best performance before adding it to the zip (or post it here & I'll do it...)

I have seen many users willing to change the icons of their android applications.For the willing users I have got small tutorial on how to change icons of any android applications.
Note:
This may not work in all application but as I've tried, it has worked for all of them.
Please use copy of your application in case of need of original apk files.
None of the files attached here like belongs to me.
I am not responsible for any unusable apk if messed up with.
Requirements:
1.Any android application(.apk) (you want to change icon of)
2.Icons file or any icons editing software (must be of resolution 36 X 36)
3.PC with windows
4.Sign APK
5.Your Android device or virtual machine to install
Steps:
1. Grab any android application (using applications like App Backup and restore or Titanium Backup) and send it to PC.
2. Right click that android application and navigate to open with option.
3. Select Winrar or Winzip.
4. Navigate it to "ApplicationName.apk\res\drawable-ldpi" folder.(There might be multiple icons in other folders too follow the same process to make it done.)
5. You can see file with name icon(.png).
6. Drag your own icon file of size 36 X 36 and drop it and replace if prompted (save) close your Winrar.
7. Now extract Auto-Sign.rar file to desired location and copy your apk (with changed icon ) to Auto-Sign\Auto-Sign folder (or read README.txt)
8. Run file sign (.bat)
9. Now you can install the apk manually by sending it to your SD Card.
For making you sure it really works I've changed icons of QQ player to VLC media player which is attached below.
BTW QQ player is the player almost like VLC it plays almost every video of any type.
Download are in order as listed below
1) Auto-sign Created By Dave Da illest 1

There's plenty of threads with cool wallpapers. However, they're not flashable zips and I can't find where to put them in the phone in order for me to be able to apply them. If anybody has a flashable zip for wallpapers or the location so I can just move them there myself. I'm on hyperdrive 17.1 if that makes a difference. I searched for an hour before posting this. I'll continue to check my phone files in hopes of finding it. Otherwise if anybody could point me in the right direction, It'd be very much appreciated
nada? Sheesh. So that's why I couldn't find any flashables either... what a bummer. But seeing all the threads for wallpapers... someone's gotta know where to put em. I thought I found the right directory but even after reboot they don't show on the WP selection screen
just extract them to your pictures folder and when you go to select a wallpaper use Gallery. They don't have to be in the system wallpapers in order to use them.
Technically they can be in any folder on your SDCard (internal or external) and the media scanner will find it and add it to your gallery app.
Try Zedge; search in the playstore.

You have to decompile framework-res.apk and put them in /res/drawable and recompile. (Note: you have to know how to recompile framework-res.apk properly or you bootloop and will have to Odin a stock image to get out of it)
