I think you should have posted this in themes and apps section but nevertheless this is your answer-
You will need-
a)APK Manager from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
b) .zip manager (I suggest 7-zip or winrar for windows and archive manager for linux)
c) text editor ( Notepad++ in windows or gedit/write in linux )
d) framework-res.apk from /system/framework that you want to modify and build.prop from /system.
e)Root explorer/Fileexpert or adb to pull framework-res.apk and build.prop
First thing using root explorer or adb pull the above files to your computer.Then do the following..
1) Once you extract APKManager you should have a folder called "APKManager," somewhere.
2) Within that folder there's another folder called "place-apk-here-for-modding". Place you desired framework-res.apk into that folder.
3) Navigate back to the root of "APKManager", and double-click "Script.bat"in windows or "Script.sh" in linux
4) Press option 9 to decompile the apk. (It may take some time)
5) Once finished, navigate to "APKManager\projects\framework-res.apk\res\values".
6) Inside look for a file called "bool.xml". Open it using your notepad++ or gedit
and find and change the
"<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
7) Remember to save! Not "save as," but save.
8) Doubl-click "Script.bat" or "Script.sh"again, and choose option 11 to sign the apk
9) Say "y" to first option.
10) When that is done, a new folder called "keep" will be created. Open that folder, and delete resource.arsc.
11) Say "y" to the last option.
12) It will ask you to press any key, do that, and it will finish.
13) Navigate to the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder, and you'll see a new file called, "unsignedframework-res.apk" open it with a .zip manager, and take the resource.arsc file from it, and transfer it to your original framework-res.apk (Which should be in the same folder)
14) Now push the modified original framework-res.apk(with new resource.arsc) onto your phone /system/framework using adb or copy by root explorer/fileexpert, and set permissions using root explorer to -rw -r -r or use chmod 644 framework-res.apk using adb. There wil be force-closes using root explorer when copying..just ignore that and set permissions and reboot.
15) Now pull build.prop from /system to your computer
16) Open build.prop and modify the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #
17) Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer and set permssions similarly as in above.
18)Reboot and go to settings>>display>>animations and choose all animations. Enjoy your crt screenoff animation.
Added the guide in themes section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15976400
did as told but no luck. I'm using S5830XEKPH 2.3.4 firmware (Booted)
I have just noted that root explorer is not replacing framework file with the new one.
Use X-Plore file manager
(Root access is required)
First backup your original apk file.
Instructions:
1- Open an app as zip file
2- go to res\drawable-hdpi\ folder or other folders
3- find icon.png in this folder
4- then Go to the second section in the browser (on the screenshot)
5- find the png file which is your new icon.
6- Rename it "icon.png" and mark.
7- Then copy it and write over old one.
8- Done
Note:The new apk file is not signed so you can't install it like a normal installation.
So you can push it to the system\app folder (Root access is required)

Hello, I do everything according to the manual, but after replacing the app and restart your tablet app disappears from the main mena on the tablet, what I'm doing wrong?
sorry for my english, thang.
Whats sup guys?I been using dragonface to make custom roms for my android device.So i decided to make a guide showing you how to make your own.Enjoy.Make sure to thank me! alright lets get started
Basic Requirements: - Dragonface V2.2.0 V2.2.3 (download here in this Forum)
- Dragonface Tutorial, and knowledge of the basic functions (download here in this tut)
- Windows Explorer
- Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.9.html)
- ROM you want to modify
- Phoiexcard
If additional tools are requiered, they are mentioned in the regarding Instruction.
Common Steps for all modifications: STEP 1: extract your ROM (*.img) with Dragonface
STEP 2: change to Windows Explorer
ATTENTION: don't shut down DragonFace or copy the needed directories and
files some where else if you want to work "offline" (Directories: CPFOP, fsop -
Files: sysconfig.lhs), because DragonFace erases everything while shuting
down
STEP 3: Save the modified ROM with Dragonface
ATTENTION: If you worked "offline", do first Step 1, and then replace the
created Directories/Files with your modified
STEP 4: Flash your ROM (.img) with the Onda Suite
So let`s start.
PS.: If you try your own modification, it would be good to make only one after the other, and test between two modification. This makes it easier to solve problems when it´s not working like you except it, because you know what causes the problem.
HowTo - Increase the available space for your Apps (Firmware V1.0.0 - V2.1.3 all Versions)
1. You have done Step 1&2 in the first post
2. Now navigate to the following directory with the Windows Explorer ( must be set to show hidden Files/Directories!)
c:/User/..your Username../AppData/Local/Temp
3. Find the file sysconfig.lhs
4. Open it with Notepad++
5. Navigate to the following:
;------------------------------>mmcblk0p8/nande
[partition]
name = data
size = 4194304
user_type = 0x8000
6. Now change the value of size to the space you want
The current value of 4194304 stands for 2GB, that means you have to multiply 2097152 by the amount of GB you want to have for your Apps
for example: 6GB = 12582912
7. Save sysconfig.lhs
8. Save .img in Dragonface
9. Flash your ROM - Done!
Her is a link to a video tutorial (in chinese): http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODEzODEwNzQ4.html&usg=ALkJrhhE_ACHQznY8ibrYYK7wMCYzcWCJg
Since the test version of Android 5, there is no seperat app partition in the firmware anymore.
HowTo - PreRoot your ROM (Firmware V1.0.0 - V2.0.2 all Versions)
1. You have done Step 1&2 in the first post
2. Now navigate to the following directory with the Windows Explorer
.../Dragonface_2.2.0/CPFOP/bootfs/skel
3. Find the file init.rc
4. Open it with Notepad++
5. Insert after Line 293:
su root
chown root root /system/app/superuser.apk
chown root root /system/xbin/su
chown root root /system/xbin/daemonsu
chown root root /system/bin/.ext/.su
chown root root /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
chown root root /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
chown root root /system/etc/init.d/99SuperSUDaemon
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
chmod 0777 /system/bin/.ext
chmod 6755 /system/bin/.ext/.su
chmod 0644 /system/etc/.installed_su_daemon
chmod 0755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/99SuperSUDaemon
chmod 0644 /system/app/superuser.apk
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
6. Save init.rc
7. Now navigate to the following directory with the Windows Explorer
.../Dragonface_2.2.0/fsop/system
8. create the directories and place or replace the needed files if not already present (check filesize, paths and files see
Step 5)
Download needed files here: https://mega.co.nz/#!XU5EFaBK!9ZFnDrzJnlGWoMOISkzQ-dczBKUB6cM8O3aswEjI2IY
Attention: Windows Explorer is not able to create the directory /system/bin/.ext, because it doesn't like the
leading dot.
So open "Command Prompt" and type mkdir .ext to create the directory (navigate before to ..system/bin)
9. Save .img in Dragonface
10. Flash your ROM - Done!
HowTo - PreRoot your ROM (Firmware V2.1.0 - V2.1.3 all Versions)
Step 1 - 10 are the same, only change:
Step 5:
chmod 0755 /sbin/busybox (Instead of: chmod 0755 /xbin/busybox)
Important: If you reopen a prerooted ROM with Dragonface, you have to recreate the .ext folder again and place .su again in it. During the extracting the .ext folder disappears due the restrictions of Windows. Saving without recreating breaks the prerooting!
HowTo - Theming your system:
The following instructions are made for the new V2.1 Firmware and should work with all Versions.
Indroduction: now we start modifying existing APPs. In the first step there are HowTo´s which can be easy done without using any app tools. The simple reason for that is, as long as we don´t take away or add graphics inside an app, and only modify them, for Android everything is fine. When we start to add or remove files inside the app or we want to change the behaviour of an app or add Features, for example in the Settings menu, we will need to de- and recompile and sign the app, ortherwise it won´t work. But this will come later.
Change the default Wallpaper:
additional needed programs: WinRAR
1. First find a Wallpaper you like with a Resolution of 2048*2048 and .jpg format, and save it to your computer
2. Rename the Wallpaper to default_wallpaper.jpg
3. Do the steps 1&2 in the first Post
4. Navigate to fsop/system/framework and find: framework-res.apk
5. Open it with WinRar and navigate to the folder drawable-nodpi
6. Now insert your Wallpaper with drag´n drop
Attention: There is now a Window popping up and asks you what to do. Choose under "COMPRESSION
METHOD" on the left side the option "SAVE".
When you look on WinRar you see that the pictures aren´t compressed, so just leave them
uncompressed.
7. Close WinRAR and you are done!
8. Save .img in Dragonface
9. Flash your ROM - Done!
Change the Wallpaper on the LockScreen (Firmware V2.1.0 - V2.1.3 all Versions)
additional needed programs: WinRAR
1. First find a Wallpaper you like with a Resolution of 2048*2048 and .jpg format, and save it to your computer
2. Rename the Wallpaper to wallpaper_03.jpg
3. Do the steps 1&2 in the first Post
4. Navigate to fsop/system/priv-app and find: JuiKeyguard.apk
Alternativ, on a running system, copy JuiKeyguard.apk to your PC, make the changes descriped in the next
steps and copy the modified apk back to the tablet. Don't forget to set the right permissions for the apk.
5. Open it with WinRar and navigate to the folder drawable-nodpi
6. Now insert your Wallpaper with drag´n drop
Attention: There is now a Window popping up and asks you what to do. Choose under "COMPRESSION
METHOD" on the left side the option "SAVE".
When you look on WinRar you see that the pictures aren´t compressed, so just leave them
uncompressed.
7. Close WinRAR and you are done!
8. Save .img in Dragonface
9. Flash your ROM - Done!
When you chance the Lockscreen Wallpaper direct on the tablet (already running system), wipe the Dalvik Cache, otherwise the Wallpaper won't change.
Change the icons in the Statusbar
additional needed programs: WinRAR
Paint.net (optional)
1. Do the steps 1&2 in the first Post
2. Navigate to fsop/system/priv-app and find: JuiSystemUI.apk
3. Open it with WinRar and navigate to the folder drawable-xhdpi
4. Look for the icons you want to change and notice the resolution
Optional: you can edit the icons by using Paint.net
5. Replace the icons you want with drag´n drop or replace the icon with an already existing in the folder (make a duplicate and rename the duplicate to the correct filename)
THEY SHOULD HAVE THE SAME RESOLUTION AND MUST BE IN .PNG FORMAT!
DON`T ADD OR REMOVE ICONS, ONLY REPLACE THEM USING THE CORRCT FILENAME - OTHERWISE YOU
CORRUPT THE APP
IF YOU WANT TO ADD OR DELETE ICONS OR ADD NEW FEATURES YOU HAVE TO DE- AND RECOMPILE IT
Attention: There is now a Window popping up and asks you what to do. Choose under "COMPRESSION
METHOD" on the left side the option "SAVE".
When you look on WinRar you see that the pictures aren´t compressed, so just leave them
uncompressed.
6. Close WinRAR and you are done!
7. Save .img in Dragonface
8. Flash your ROM - Done!

A83T
I have tried using Dragon Face for A83T image file. But looks like I am stuck.
The Software does unpacking properly. But during packing image, I am not sure what goes wrong, the initial Green Progress bar of Flashing Firmware also does not show up in the device.
I have in fact tried - unpacking stock firmware and packing the firmware without making any changes to the Image.
It fails!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
bumping this old thread trying to root this POS irulu tablet I got the firmware image rooted and resaved
flash it but it hangs at the pre-boot splash
edit: I am pretty sure its either a int.rc or su binary problem, if I flash just the stock boot/env it boots
so there is something in the init.rc it doesn't like
here is my init rc
https://pastebin.com/NwZ9ntEB
after hours of monkeying about with it I am pretty sure its a issue with dragonface
any attempt to modify int scripts results in it hanging on splash, possibly some form of boot image checking
I can modify system all day long but I can't touch the boot partition
I don't have the capability to build a generic twrp image for the A33 so I can't even get to a decent recovery
Bringing this thread back to life, is there a way to set the default launcher through file manipulation (as with the above tutorial) rather than with ADB or in the Android Settings app? I've been searching, but haven't found any good information.
Edit: Nevermind, it was an issue with the default launcher and possibly pheonixcard. Got it resolved
Hello once again here is an easy install of Vendor-Arise Numbers. Go to Bliss OS repository on Github and download Vendor-Arise. Then extract zip file with ES File explorer make sure root explorer setting is on and go to the Numbers folder and copy bin folder, etc folder, lib folder, su.d folder and the Arise_version.prop. Then in ES File explorer go to device click on the system folder and click open then paste it will ask you to overwrite click yes to all. We are almost done in the system folder go to the newly pasted su.d folder then copy arisesound_setprop and dtsconfigurator_wrapper and then go to etc folder and then go to init.d folder and paste the two files in the su.d folder. Reboot and happy listening these are compiled binaries no apk the sound is incredible.
