Anyone??
I won't be able to help you but I could tell you how to do that.
1. Get the apk of the keyboard you want to edit.
2. Next Download 7zip if you don't have that.
3. Now extract the apk using 7zip. (Right Click the apk to see 7zip options.)
4. The folder in which all the extracted files and folders are locate "res" folder. In this folder all the images are located.
5. Once you open the RES folder you will have folders like hdpi, mdpi, etc...
6. Now open up any such folder you like. There you will be able to see the stock emoji icons. Replace them with the ones you want. Make sure you crop them so they keep the same size like the once you replaced.
7. Open the APK file with 7zip and delete the files you had replaced.
8. Now in the APK add the files which you added in the extracted folder. (Add the emojis which you added in the RES folder) Add them to the folders where you had deleted the stock images.
You could press the thanks button now as the tutorial has finished.

As the title says, is there a way to change the SGS2 lockscreen wallpaper that is included with ComRom 2.0?
sure there is...
it's a jpg named zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw at 480x800 in size.
Located in \framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\
Just use 7zip to swap out file within apk and adb push back to device.
good day.
That was easier than I thought it would be. Thank you.
Where is that file located? I can only find twframework-res.apk in the community rom 2.0
In system/framework/ there should be a file named framework-res.apk. Pull that file and look for the file zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg in /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/. Replace it with the picture you want, posh the apk back to your phone and reboot.
I assume I can use droid explorer to pull that file? Here is that location and that file is absent.

Do any of the themes that are out change this wallpaper?
yes you can go to gallery, select any image and press " select as" it will give you an option that you want to set it as home screen wallpaper or lock screen wallpaper

Since we are using the sgsII lockscreen ported to our frameworks the above process does not work for us. But in the upcoming update of the comm rom, sbrissen has added wallpaper support for all lock screens. So within tsm parts you will be able to select and crop an image that will be used across all lock screens.
good day.
PCSCII.apk dissected
Below I have unpacked the PCSCII.apk. This APK is responsible for connecting to your PC.
I have numbered the files inside /res/drawable-hdpi and matched them accordingly to what they are responsible for displaying on the phone. Enjoy!
Now you can theme that pesky hard-to-find USB icon!

Also, inside /res/drawable you will find: common_white_button_press.9.png, common_white_button_rest.9.png, common_white_button_select.9.png
These are the background PNGs for buttons numbered 2 (Charge only) & 3 (Disk drive) in the above screenshots.
Settings.apk
Settings.apk dissected
Below I have unpacked the Settings.apk. This APK is for settings on the phone and can be accessed by pressing menu then settings, or through the app drawer.
I have numbered the files inside /res/drawable-hdpi and matched them accordingly to what they are responsible for displaying on the phone. Enjoy!
PNG #3 common_app_ic_launcher_settings.png - This PNG is the icon that shows up in the app drawer for Settings.
PNGs #30-37 are the PNG files for the animated tutorial that shows when setting a pattern lock.
IMPORTANT:
You may have noticed common_list_highlight_press.9.png, common_list_highlight_selected.9.png, and green_divider.png located inside the /res/drawable-hdpi folder. These look just like button highlight/selected PNGs and the list divider. However, changing these will not change what you think in the settings app. If you want to change the button highlights and list divider they are going to be found in fusion.apk and/or com.htc.resources.apk.

I wonder if there is the possibility of changing only the dialing screen? Well, during the sunny days the visualization of the numbers is difficult.

I just wanted to change the dialing screen and keep the rest of the theme.
The second option is better on sunny days.

Thank you very much
With a root explorer locate your /system/app folder and copy phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk to your SD card.
Copy them to your PC and keep a backup of those apps just in case.
Using 7zip or winrar open the apps. Locate their /res/drawable or res/drawable-mdpi folders. Those contain the graphics. Locate the ones with the numbers and extract them.
Edit the graphics with a good software (not paint, something like Photoshop) and save them without changing their size or format.
Drag the edited .png images to the /res/drawable or drawable-mdpi folder of the apps. Don't extract and repackage the whole app, just drag and drop the edited files in their corresponding folders whike using 7zip or winrar to view the app.
Put the edited apps in your SD and then place them in system/app with rw-r-r permissions.
Reboot, they should work OK. If they don't work (give you Fc) something got screwed in the process, try it again. If all fails, restore your original apps (the ones you backed up) to system/app with proper permissions.
This is my own application.So Try it and Rate it.

Thanks for your comment.
Hi this is a quick and simple tutorial bcz I don't have time to make an advanced tutorial.
This method is applicable to Stock Whatsapp and Whatsapp Plus and any other whatsapp you can find out there.
Hit thanks if you find this useful
Please use google to find the requirements bcz I can't post links now
Requirements:
# APK Mutli-Tool v1.10
# Java Development Kit 7
# Notepad++
# A brain and a pair of eyes
Steps:
Install JDK7 if you don't already have it
Extract and install APK Multi-Tool using Setup.bat
Copy your whatsapp apk inside "place-your-apk-here-for-modding" folder
Launch Script.bat
Choose option 9 to decompile the apk
When the apk is decompiled go to the following folder:
projects/....whatsapp..../res/values
Open strings.xml with notepad++
Press CTRL+F to find the following string:
Message from %s (You usually have to press "find" twice to find the wanted string)
Replace it with anything you want
ie: "New whatsapp message"
Save and exit
Go back to APK Multi-Tool and choose option 15 to recompile/sign/install the apk
If you don't want to install the modified whatsapp directly don't connect your phone to the pc, just wait till it compiles and signs the apk and says "waiting for device" then close apk multi-tool window.
Then go to "Place-your-apk-here-for-modding" folder and you'll find two files, one is the original whatsapp and the other is the modified apk "signed......apk" so do whatever you want from here
Hit Thanks if you find this useful
