What do you mean you have not succeeded?
Decompile the apk file, remove the icon and replace a transparent icon with the same name and if possible in same format as the older icon.
Also in android manifest file, look whether the icon is given with an extension. If so, change it to the icon's format that you have placed.
Now again recompile the apk file and also sign the apk.
There are lots of tutorials on both Google and XDA that will help you to learn decompiling and recompiling an apk.
Press thanks if I have helped you.
I am a newbie. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

Anyone know how to mod it? I am trying to get rid of the gray look and make it more gingerbread-like.
The problem is everytime I extract it and re-zip + sign it with apktool it doesnt let me install it on my phone.
I cant re-compile it either after editing the png files...
if anyone has any ideas let me know...
If you are editing a .9.png file, you need to follow a slightly different procedure via APK Manager.

Ive been modding Handcent sms for some time. Link Can you explain what are you looking for? or Im guessing you have apk modding issue not really handcent
you don't need to use apkmanager or deconstruct/reconstruct apks to mod it (or any other app/widget for that matter).
download ninja morph from the market. you can select the apps from the phone, it will extract them and you can swap .9's inside ninjamorph to theme the apps/widgets.
i know with downloaded apps, you have to have them installed to system/app though. so you may need to move handcent to system/app, then chmod the apk, then reboot before doing the ninja morph.
Hello, maybe this is the wrong thread but i seem to not be getting any help over at Q&A's... I'm porting a theme from the captivate forums and for some reason my dropdown notifications have a transparent background and the text is black as well for any popup window like when you long press the homescreen to get widgets, and wallpaper chooser, so i think i need to modify either the framework-res.apk or the twframework-res.apk but don't kno exactly what file to modify to either get the text to white or get a background on those things... if anyone would advice me i'd appreciate it... thanks
Also if anyone could guide me into modifying the services.jar to change the clock color i would also appreciate it...

Well for the notification pulldown background ive got the one i wanted... what im referring to is when u have a notification, for instance you downloaded something from the market and u get successfully downloaded that one notification has no background it is set to transpare t and the letters are black so i can really read what it says...
anybody wishing to help?
If it is an image you need to edit to be non-black/transparent the file I think you're looking for is called "status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png"
Change that to a totally opposite color and see if that's it?
If you mean editing the color of the letters then I do not know what to edit in the .xml file.
Hope I helped!
How can I modify the XML files? 'cause when I extract them from apk file, all of them are protected, I can't read any codes. Can anyone show me how to fully unprotected them?
P/s: I always get this error "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource..." whenever I open xml file with IE.

they must be decompiled with apk manager
additionally when you recompile make sure to check the log as there will be several images that will be renamed from. 9.png to png you must use the draw9patch program found in the tools folder of the android ask to 9patch these images otherwise your apks will not compile correctly. Im on my phone now so I can't provide the necessary video link how ever simply go on youtube and search how to use draw9patch there is a very good beginners explanation (2 part) of what a 9 patch is and how to use the 9 patch utility

it varies, they can be in any folder really, but generally speaking that is where you will find most of them. Just check the logs and you will know exactly where to find them and what they were named.

am trying to edit the framework-res.apk
am trying to change the images of the slider (jog_dial_bg_rev.png) but when i save it and then install or move the .apk to system/framework folder
the phone crashes? has this got anything to do with the MD5?
all i wanna do is change the slider image based on the CM7 pro v20 ROM
my reason is because the black shadow covers the incoming call number

Instead of extracting, Just open it with winrar or 7zip and drag and drop image in the 7zip window.

Hi
sorry if for expert devs this is a basic question
I have been looking around but I did not found this explained
HOW TO CHANG THE ICON ASSOCIATED WITH AN APK ????
I know how to open a apk with 7 zip and that I have to change the png file there
but which file ?????
do I need to change just the file associated with the icons or all the others ?
I mean .... inside (for example) mm.apk I found the icons related to contacts.apk to email.apk etc ... do I need to chenge all of them with the new ones ?
decompile and recompile
Decompile the app with apktool and go into the res folder and find the icon u want to replace ,,change it and recompile with apktool.Lastly sign the app and you are good to go
I have never tried change icons but i tried to change the background images for dialer and system menu. I used the same method mentioned above by opening the apk using 7zip and changing the images files with my custom images and rename them exactly the same as old ones.
Then I used CWM to flash the zip which contains the modified apk (i.e. contacts.apk and framework-res.apk)
However, I would recommend that you backup your ROM before flashing the modified zip file just in case something wrong happens.
Good Luck
I remember that there is a tool much faster than apktool ti decompile recompile but ... I have not been on the forum for long and I lost it
Is it also possible to change only theicon by using vrtheme ? if yes can someone explain how ?
Thanks

Hello, I need help to make andoid apk usable. I editied factory APK to change:
-icon
-starting logo
-remove some unneeded png files
-changed some logos in APK for own- the same resolution and names
I tried it to compile by APK Easy Tool v1.59.2 but I can not finish of Compile option.
Can anybody help me to make my APK working??
nobody can help with it??
I would try other apps like Apktool M or apkeditorpro. First thing thiugh is look for compile errors log. What kind of error does it give you? I'm unfamiliar with apkeasy.
You can send me the file if you can't solve. But no guarantees i'd be able to help further.
Hi, thanks for reply. I send apk on pm.
