thanks for link, i follow your guide to de-compile SystemUI.apk for editing, i used the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803813 to edit my systemui and when i move new systemui.apk to my phone, i lost my notification . I think i didn't understand exactly these sentences in you guide "Before using the new apk you need to extract the resources.arsc, then simply put it back in the new apk overwriting the original resources.arsc.
In WinRar it will give you the option to choose the compression method, and it's vital that you choose Store as the compression method..."
The resources.arsc file i have to put in the new apk is the one in the decompiled apk folder ?
Sorry for my poor english. THanks

No, it's the one from the newly built apk, simply extract it then add it straight back.

I dont know i was wrong in which step to change " dropdown background " into picture
btw when i used Theming tool do decompile Settings.apk, it was fail

i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

If you've read my guide, you would know that you'll have to add resources.arsc from new app to old app and then push old app to your phone

If u just want to change icons of any app, then just extract the app with zarchive or root explorar or any other archiving tool... Then go to the extracted app folder. Then go to res/drawable. in this folder you will find icon.png . just replace it with ur desired icon... then zip the folder and rename the zip as apk... You are done...
If u are in pc just open the apk with winrar then replace the icon with winrar.. That's it...
You should move the Thread to Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Q&A, Help &
Troubleshooting Section..
Press Thanks if I helped

It isnt an app that u can just theme with so easily.
U have to open apktool using "CMD" or Command Prompt
If u want to theme easily use ticklefish's Tickle my droid
If u want to theme as u want exactly use apktool.
Also If u just want to edit images (and not xmls)
Just use 7 zip to extract ur apk. Edit pngs in drawable-ldpi and drawable-hdpi using gimp/Paint.net/Photoshop
then put edited files back in the apk
Cheers :cheers:
make sure after the edit put same filename and repack
