Hey
How can I change the icons of Android, Apps etc?
Maybe i have to edit the .kdz-file / system.img-file?
Which programs do i need?
Thank u!
You have to edit the /res folder in the apk file.
Joost
extract the framework-res.apk file from your rom via root explorer then use this to extract the contains from the framework file and you can also use that tool to repack the framework file
APK Manager
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
Adb pull the app then with 7zip extract. Look in res/drawable-mdpi and you will see all images in the apk. Look for icon and replace.
Repack all files in a zip then rename zip to apk. Adb push the apk.

Hi everyone, I'm here to teach you guys on how to change the text "Swipe up or down to unlock" on Xperia Z lock screen. Since I saw some request on it.
Preparation:
*Framework Toolkit by Themike10452 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36085941 (at B section, only the toolkit) (from now on will call toolkit)
*Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ (under download tab)
*Java Development Kit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html (choose the one compatible with your os) (install it before you open toolkit)
*Latest apktool (both apktool and and it's dependencies) http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list (use dependencies for windows if you are on windows)
*7zip File Manager http://www.7-zip.org/
{ above all software are essentials for one to mod any apk files and frameworks. }
*UxpNxtLockScreen.apk (extract from ROM either from phone memory using root file explorer or from flashable ROM zip (at system/app)
*A thinking Brain
**Framework Toolkit by Themike10452 http://d-h.st/Pkb (this is the version that I'm using to mod apk and framework (it mean it is working, for me), use it if your toolkit is not working, only for windows os only) (I have no idea am I allowed to share this tool or not, since i didn't get permission from Themike10452 yet, request sent but no reply at all at the moment, I will put this down if Themike10452 request so)

Instructions/Guide:
§ 1st, extract Framework Toolkit by Themike10452 and put it aside on any where of your comp (preferable desktop).
§ 2nd, extract apktool files with 7 zip. Yes, open the bz2 files you had download just now, you will see a tar file within, open it again, then you will see a folder, for apktool, you will see a file jar file ; for dependencies, you will see 2 files exe and bat each, copy them and replace the same file in toolkit folder (inside the "other" folder", just override the old files).
§ place UxpNxtLockScreen.apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding" within toolkit folder.
§ run "Apk-Multi-Tool.bat" as admin. Press any keys to continue after the "Multi Tool Screen" appear. It will lead you to a screen with multiple options shown with numbers in front of them.
§ check: at top right corner, "Current-App" should follow with "UxpNxtLockScreen.apk"(if no, please recheck whether if the file you put is in correct place or not and you shouldn't have more than 1 apk in that folder to start modding or theming), then press "9" and enter to decompile apk. Once it's done, minimize the toolkit, you will use it later, now go to root folder of toolkit, within projects folder you will see a folder named "UxpNxtLockScreen.apk".
(from 1st instruction until here is the general decompiling apk process, it should works on all apks unless the apk have extraordinary resources that can't be decoded by apktool by other toolkit, maybe? and the following instructions will be called "modding" *yes, you are now starting to mod a/an apk file now )
§ navigate to /projects/UxpNxtLockScreen.apk/res/values/ and you will see 11 xml files. Open strings.xml with Notepad++.
§ find the line with this name "lockscreen_unlock_hint", use Ctrl + F if you can't find them.
eg:<string name="lockscreen_unlock_hint">Swipe up or down to unlock</string>
§ change the sentence after " > " and before " </string> " with the sentence you desire and save the file (Ctrl + S)
§ Back to Apk Multi Tool, press " 21 " > enter > " 0 " > enter. ( This is to set compression level to 0. I'm not sure if it works with Compression level at 9) then " 11 " and enter to recompile the apk. A while later. screen will pause and show a message end with < y / n >:
2 options here:
# To be safe, press " y " and enter then wait for it to extract source from original apk, navigate to keep folder, delete a file named "resources.arsc" and back to apk multi tool and press any buttons to continues. (this is to keep the original sources at new modified apk to reduce error and maintain its compatibilities to the ROM.)
# Another is " n ", just press n and enter, and done. (i wont give 100% working in this way, do it on your own risk)
§ You will then get a file named "System_UxpNxtLockScreen.apk", move or copy it into your SD, rename to "UxpNxtLockScreen.apk", and replace it with correct permission ( R W - R - - R - - ).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
# To change the number of times unlock to remove the unlock tips (unlock untill a certain times to remove the unlock tips), navigate to /projects/UxpNxtLockScreen.apk/res/values/ and open intergers.xml with note++, and find the following lines "unlocks_before_hint_removal"
eg: <integer name="unlocks_before_hint_removal">100</integer>
change the number value to number of times you desire and save the file, then recompile the apk.

You may use the apktool provided by stanlin salu from his tutorial of decompile/recompile apk. About decompile and recompile apk, follow his tutorial, just edit those files according to my instructions/guide. This thread is actually only providing the information about which file and which line to be edited to change the unlock tips and unlock times before remove tips.
{stanlin salu's apk decompile and recompile tutorial and apktool download------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011337
CAUTION!
§ Please check both of your apk file by opening them with 7 zip file manager, compare both apk for their content(should be total of 3 files and 2 folders), all the files and folders within should have the same size except "resource.arsc" *unless you modified some other pictures, then check the number of files contained in the folder, the number of files must be the same. If "META-INF" is different, please copy the folder from original apk to modded apk and override them. None of those files (classes.dex, AndroidManifest.xml, META-INF...) can be 0kb (I think only odexed framework will get 0kb, deodexed framework will not get 0kb)
§ If you replaced any picture in drawable folders, please make sure that the picture have same file name with the original picture. And during recompile process, please delete the same picture file of the same name that you modified at keep folder if you choose < y > at the pause.
Miscellaneous:
§ If you seriously having problem to recompile or modding, you may upload UxpNxtLockScreen.apk or yours to me for modding and I will upload to you once I get it done.
§ Please give me some time to mod for you since I'm just a Pre-University Student who studied 12 hours a day and also spending my time with my family and friends as well. I'm doing all these as a part of my interest and my own free will. :angel:

did you install the Java and restart your comp? the apktool require Java Development Environment(JDE) to run it. JDE download is on 1st post. and you must choose the correct version, for instance like me, i'm using windows 7 ultimate x64, so i installed windows x64 bits version. since you said u tried different version of apktool and its not working, you must have either java problem, or you did not running it as administrator.

jordiluna, you try it see if it works or not. and, after recompile, please recompare the modded apk and original apk, the 3 files must have same file size, choose < y > during recompile, just delete the resources.arsc only. leave other untouched files and pictures there to be rewrite to the new modded apk.
I downloaded apktool and I put the original file and.......recompile without errors!!! all files are well. but :crying: The word that I edit in strings, I put just UNLOCK, don´t shows in the lockscreen. I redownloaded notepad too, and nothing.:silly::silly::silly:

Hi MIUIers
This was a request for Port Team development. Like me many people have or had a Win Duos device GT-i8552 (delos3geour) and keep using the stock Jelly Bean Android or change this recent device for other.
It's a Quad-core armv7 snapdragon 200 with potential to use most recent API.s I made some customs ROMs based in Stock with AOSP features and lasted used Baidu OS with my own themes to bcloud theme chooser like the DWUI V6 dark and light all inspired on MIUI 6 to keep alive , but we could be MIUI running .
Owners please vote in Pool below to indicate me your interesting
With help and incentive by MIUI Team developers, i decided look at this opportunity to give MIUI for all owners and transform new MIUIers have fun !!
After did many Custosm ROMs, ports and others things for I8552 i decided to make a Full BUILD ROM for delos3geour using a MIUI 7 source from Nexus5.

Base ROM for your device.
It's better to use a pure AOSP built for your device as base ROM rather than CyanogenMod, this avoid more rejections while patching a MIUI source.

Port MIUI v5 from K-touch U86
Morning Bro's @gody420, @manojkumar8552
Im open this dev with the objective port MIUI v6 from K-Touch - U86
Im using the Droidwin v3 like base and processing port by kitchen
Step 1
First decompile recovery.img and boot.img to create file with mount points of U86 link post and save with the device name that w find on build.prop
Open Kitchen and put the droidwin ROM (Base zip) and MIUI k-touch.zip ROM (Port zip) on original_update folder
On kitchen menu set Legacy option and type 28 to choose port ROM functions
Step 2
Set base zip like obtain a rom that is currently meant for your device
Wait extract base kernel and extract zip to my_device_working folder created
Step 3
Set Port zip like obtain a rom that iyou want to port from another device
Wait creation of working_folder and extract ROM from Port zip . Rename folder to identify project
On sequency action to this step i selected option 1 - Convert it to update-script ( Amend format) cause this is default option "y"
The option 2 means Do nothing , keep updater-script (Edify format)
Step 4
Now the working_folder ported is craeted and the kitchen merge folders and files of both zip folders ( porting ROM)
In the and appear on NOTE: This device (msm8625) requires an updater-scripit so im stopped process and restart repeating again the steps 2 and 3 just this time selecting on action the option 2
Now this process occurs fine just on NOTE kitchen returns that dont be able to maka dedodex and others stuffs but is ok in moment cause isn't my objective
Follow kitchen steps the Porting ROM is done.....
Returns
setting ro.product.device=delous3geur
setting ro.product.board=MSM8225
setting ro.product.plataform=msm7627a
Step 5
using the notepad++ Open the working Ported folder system/build.prop ported and change the devices name, brand manufactory for I8552 base build.prop especfs
Code:
ro.product.model=GT-I8552
ro product.brand=samsung
[COLOR="Blue"]ro.product.device=delos3geur (keep this created by kitchen)[/COLOR]
ro.product.name=delos3gub [COLOR="blue"]or xx depends of base name[/COLOR]
ro product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.product.product=delos3geur
ro.build.description=[COLOR="Red"]samsung/delos3geub-[/COLOR]:...........keep rest
ro.build.fingerprint=[COLOR="red"]samsung/delos3geub/delos3geur[/COLOR]...........keep rest
On finish im saved file
This time i dont changed the additional properties like ringtones
Step 6
Go back on kitchen menu and select 99 to build new ported ROM zip
===
Well this steps on flash something is diferent and this case im need u help and stopped on bootanimantion
Soon i1ll post attachs by this build.prop and the update-script

Cant possible cause the shots didnt save when i tested, but this MIUI its flashable.
Im working now on Baidu 67, cleaning, change stock Baidu recovery and any system apps for pure Google pre-root and performance modules, deodexing, zipalign and translate.
This transformation means to be most closed for global users

Is audio working???

Yes, on 67 works everything
lasted night i done many parts of mod and stabilizing the google frame fixes,
The great effort must be work on translation cause didnt find a correct tool for baidu just for MIUI v5 Jbart tools but didnt effect on Baidu apks, so i ll to do decompile and set global language manually

yes!mjraogr

Deodex the rom first then decompile apk
Hi,
when I download ZC 6.0_Rejuvenated http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155803, Avast in my computer (and 11 other AV on virustotal.com) reports virus in ROM (Android:SMSSend-PX[Trj] in NavBar.apk). Can I download anywhere the ROM without a virus? Do you have same problem?
Last update was in 2014-03-12. Can I expect that there is any new version corrected vulnerabilities?
@michal.652
I think it's a false positive. However ,thats the last and final version. Saqib Nazm no longer develops for MDPI.
@karandpr
Is there any possibility * .zip file to edit and remove NavBar.apk of ROM? I tried ROM unzip, delete untrustworthy (insecure) apk, packed into a zip and install but the installation is corrupted (Error: Installation aborted.) Replace * .apk another file with the same name also did not help. Finally I watched in the META-INF\MANIFEST.MF there is SHA1 for folder system\app, where is NavBar.apk. Can I create new SHA1 for folder system\app without NavBar.apk? How? I tried create the SHA1 for folder using Total Commander but it creates SHA1 only for files, not folder.

In Windows use 7zip archiver.
Open the archive
Delete the file in the archive
and you are good to go.
SHA1 has no effect since that checksum is not verified in recovery.
Perfect, it's working! Thank you very much!
I tried unzip (with 7zip), deleted the file and zipped again. But not occurred to me to delete a file in the zipped file. I am in installation so I'm going to finish. I hope that now it be without problem.
Almost without problem. ANT+ doesn't working. :crying: ANT+ Heart rate belt working with another mobile. I have everything what I need: ANT Radio Service (4.14.0), ANT+ Plugins Service. In this Xperia with official GB 2.3.4 and official ICS ANT+ working perfect. Can I find out if the service is running? For example in terminal? Any advice or a solution?
Edit:
I try this: ANT+ fix and ANT+ works.
I'm testing clear voice during the call - the other side heard me fitfully/jerkily (=not cleanly, I don't know how I can say it. )
