[GUIDE] [MOD] Add Custom Banner in "about phone" section in Galaxy y - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps

Here is my custom banner
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What we need:
1) ApkTool
2) Notepad++
3) 7zip
4) Root Explorer
Files we need to add custom banner:
1) Transparent Banner Template, modify it with Photoshop or any other image editor to add ur preferred logos, writings, etc etc. (PLEASE REFER HERE)
2) logo_banner.xml, which u will put in res/layout LINK
3) Settings.apk and framework-res.apk from ur ROM
Lets start:
1) First we install framework-res.apk with apktool using this code
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
2) Decompile Settings.apk with apktool using this code
Code:
apktool d Settings.apk
3) after u have modified ur banner, go to decompiled settings folder then go to res/drawable then copy and paste the banner(banner.png) there
4) now go to res/layout then copy and paste the logo_banner.xml file there
5) now go to res/xml folder, there open device_info_settings.xml file with Notepad++
6) Copy and paste this line after the third line in device_info_settings.xml
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:layout="@layout/logo_banner" android:key="od_logo" />
7) Now compile settings with apktool using this code
Code:
apktool b Settings
8) Once compiled, open decompiled Settings folder then go to build/apk, there u will find AndroidManifest.xml file
10) Now open original Settings.apk using 7zip then copy the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file
11) paste both the files in build/apk folder, if asked to replace, click yes
12) now go to a folder in settings folder named dist, there u will find Settings.apk which u compiled
13) now delete it. We never use the first Settings.apk that we compile, because we need to add the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml files for signing purposes. Once you have deleted the 1st compiled Settings.apk, return to the command prompt and again compile the Settings using this code
Code:
apktool b Settings
14) After it is compiled go to dist folder there u will find new and fresh compiled Settings.apk which u can use it.
15) Using Root Explorer push it into system/app folder and set permissions to rw-r-r-
16) That's it!

In step 3 you say name the png logo_banner.png but in your xml file it points to @drawable value of banner
therefore you either need to call your png banner.png or change the value in the xml file to match what you have called the png
All works good and added my banner to my evo-x4 settings
