Search via google its posted .
Google >>>> your question XDA <<<<<
It is a long winded way of making your own rom .
basics would be to open the apk .
Judged on your previous posts you lack any experience to build a rom anyway .

Don't follow it step to step! Im just showing you the correct way.. you should have basic knowledge to edit the .apk
First Decompile SecWallaperChooser.apk
There are 2 folders that contain wallpapers..
1) drawable-hdpi
2) drawable-xhdpi
1) drawable-hdpi
All wallpapers in drawable-hdpi are named as wallpaper_01, wallpaper_02, wallpaper_03 and keeps on going... and their preview (thumbnail) are named as wallpaper_01_small, wallpaper_02_small, wallpaper_03_small.....
Wallpaper resolution in drawable-hdpi: 960x960
Thumbnail resolution in drawable-hdpi: 160x142
so just name your wallpapers as above.. and also make a smaller version of them (Thumbnail) of resolution stated above.
Eg: create a wallpaper of resolution 960x960 and name it wallpaper_01. Also create a smaller version of that wallpaper of resolution 160x142 and name it wallpaper_01_small
2) drawable-xhdpi
All wallpapers in drawable-xhdpi are named as hd_01, hd_02, hd_03 and keeps on going... and their preview (thumbnail) are named as hd_01_small, hd_02_small, hd_03_small.....
Wallpaper resolution in drawable-xhdpi: 1280x1280
Thumbnail resolution in drawable-xhdpi: 213x189
after that you have to edit 3 files
1) \res\values-hdpi\arrays.xml
2) \res\values-xhdpi\arrays.xml
3) \res\values\public.xml
first open \res\values-hdpi\arrays.xml it will say something like.....
wallpaper_01
wallpaper_02
wallpaper_03
wallpaper_04
wallpaper_05
add the new names in it (06, 07, 08 like that..)
Now open \res\values-xhdpi\arrays.xml
it will say something like....
hd_01
hd_02
hd_03
hd_04
hd_05
add the new names in it (06, 07, 08 like that..)
Finally open \res\values\public.xml
you will have to add all values here (Wallpaper_xx and hd_xx) and their thumbnail (wallpaper_xx_small and hd_xx_small)
that's pretty self explanatory
just keep on adding your entries
Eg:
edit everything and then recompile!
thank you very much

Actually, that is defining the id.
Technically you could then add:
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="hd_06" id="0x7f020022" />
However, you'll probably find later in public.xml that....
Code:
id="0x7f020022"
...is already in use. So you need to find the next free (or unused) id
Hum can i stole dummb files id ?

May I know the reason of doing this? Are you creating a rom?
Its really a headache to do these kinds of editing. Like @rootSU said, you can end up with recompile error... Thats what im dealing with right now.

Actually I am really trying to create a rom.
But it's really hard na ?
Lots of works to do.
I had successfully created a simple custom rom with little mods and all...
I am adding more mods and tweaks...
One of the reason for adding pics to stock wallpaper is that
1. I hated the stock wallpapers I wanted to delete them
2. I don't want to see my wallpapers in my gallery. I never opens them in gallery and looks at their beauty. It always irritates me to see them there.
3. There is always chance that someone or me might delete them accidently. If that happens then I will have to search all over the Internet to find them. It is always a pain in the Ass
I could go on but I think I proved my point

Hello web masters and developers,
I've got a noob question...
I've got Jusada's ICSunday Final ROM (all credits to Jusada, and of course I've got his permission to do moding), which I modified for my personal needs.
Until now I've added many options that missed in original release (so it's not barebone anymore) like live wallpapers, torch, RE, ScanMedia, battery drain fix and GPS fix, transparent status bar and modified Acheps CM theme (all credits to their developers, u can find the topics here in Ace forum) etc.
There is couple of things I currently cannot resolve and that drives me crazy.
When I make a fresh install of the ROM, it starts with default wallpaper (which I modified too). But since I often use my favorite livewallpaper, i really need it to be set by default from the system. Now, I've got Livewallpaperspicker.apk installed and working. I can put the livewallpaper's apk file in the /system/app and to be installed by default, but how to make it enabled by default instead of the static default_wallpaper.jpeg inside framework_res.apk?
Where in which file I should enable it bu default?
Thank you for your patience, and also excuse me for my bad english, and If I break the rules with this thread!
Regards!
P.S: Excuse me for the stupid thread title, I couldn't figure out a better one...
Obviously no one knows, or it's too difficult to explain for noobs like me... Sad... I search on Google but either I don't search with correct keyword or there are no such thread/topic/lesson...

Thanks for the reply mate, but it seems that there is no "value" folder inside my /res folder. Anyway I searched for strings.xml inside other folders in /res folder but... no success... I'll extract the ROM's package right now and will search inside all folders for strings.xml and will see if such a file exist... Thanks btn pressed for the reply and for the idea
P.S: I've found the file that contains keyword "default_wallpaper_component" in it. It's framework.odex. Now I've got to figure out first how to edit it (with notepad++ there are a bunch of unusable characters) and what exactly to write to enable my favorite_livewallpaper.apk by default. Because it's gonna be normal, pre-installed .apk file (not inside the LiveWallpapers.apk) and I don't know how to call it inside the string... Damned, this is gonna be harder than I thought But... I like to be hard, if there are good people that wont mind to teach me or tip me for the answer)) Thanks

As I said before, I need just an advise on how to do-that. I don't need someone to "serve it in golden plate" All I needed was a little hint and you gave it to me, that's why I thanked you. And as I said before, I searched Google and xda but with no success - obviously I didn't know how to "ask", wrong keyword etc.
After your hint I remembered that I read somewhere that not all folders are visible with win rar (for example) and they need to be decompiled in a special way. I searched again and found APKTool, now I'll install it (inside Windows folder, i read) and will begin to learn how-to.
That's the way to learn I think?

The visual portion in Eclipse is for layout xml files. If your xml is just a plain xml it will not do anything for you visually.
What exactly are you trying do?
Use Google to find tutorials about xml file creation. A simple defined search such as "android xml tutorial" returns quite a bit of info.

Well im trying to build a systemui. And i know i can pnly build it from scratch.
But the trouble im facing is i cant even start a project related to what i want to do..
I read and search for tutorials beyond tutorials but still cant find anything anout opening a window to do that.
Just some tutorials stating that what relative layout and linear layouts and some about how to add features related.
Havent looked into videos though. Because what i saw at the first page of google was about how to install adt plugin.
So the main problem im facing now is, could anyone give me some tips or guides to open a window to start my next phase of learning

I'm going to assume, probably a bad idea (lol), that you mean for a sony device as that is what is in your signature. Why not pull apart an existing systmeui from that device and go through it to see what stuff is doing? Then you can create what you want.
Here is a link for a tutorial about a Sense device but the basic idea is similar for all devices just the procedure might be a little different. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453869
Also, in this forum are threads on decompiling the systemui.apk.

Just pull the 1 zip or 2 zips from the rom, & explore for you're self, I think its the system ui but could be wrong, I'm not near my computer at the moment to check so I can't say exactly which one it is? If you're gonna mod the battery icons you're gonna look inside anyway & I takes like 10secs to extract & search the apk? If you don't wanna do that, there are various apps in the playstore you can download for free to look at the framework pics from inside the apks without opening them! Hope this helps.... press thanks if it did

As Maarten already pointed out SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. And if you want to use them in apktool you'll also need com.htc.resources.apk.
Just out of curiosity: are you going to use UOT or apktool? Been trying to change status bar clock colour on half-sense and fulmix (see my post in his thread) with apktool but haven't succeeded yet.
What are your plans on theming?
Just pull the zips & open using winrar? Thts what I've been doing for around 4yrs now

Make a SystemUI.apk without classes.dex and put that in you ROM and release to all users to test. If it works, I will resign from making ROMs.

Use latest apktool, bad magic value errors fixed in new version.

SystemUI must have classes.dex; there is where all the instructions (the smali files) come from for the apk to work. Like what to run for the EQS and many more.
As mentioned on the link given above
Code:
b) If you are using apkmanager, you can just export classes.dex, then delete classes inside the apk. Then decompile, edit, compile and add classes.dex back when ready.

I know this is more of a "Theme" section post but it is also a question if the mods want they can move/delete this thread from this section

Yes just change the stuff, what is their to ask? everything is self explanatory ain't it?
. Xml files are the layout configuration , icons and all other image files in the png format, just be careful about the resolution, fonts possibly in the assets folder and finally after rezipping you have to resign the apk.
Edit :I am currently not using cm but I can fish up CM9 apks. Anyway state your main problem, I won't be available for 7 days after some hours and even now is feeling sleepy, will help if I can.

Well I thought that I would just copy some files and I'm done... I couldn't even find them

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.
