You'll need to use apktool.jar to decompile the apk then to recompile again and test. Keep in mind you'll need some knowledge on XML coding

Hi all,
Anyone help me how to remove these Chinese symbol in LEWA rom (bbs.lewaos.com/download.php)
I can not find the string in string.xml (PIM.apk and Phone.apk).
Thanks
Do you know what it means?
If you do, you could find a more logical place with that string...
Framework perhaps?

Hi did you ever find out how to remove or translate this text
I have ported a Lewa ROM and would like to clean up the Chinese letters Language is some of the stock lewa app's and framework such as the phone dialer too.
**
Remove Chinese symbol in LEWA rom:
You can remove the chinese characters by removing LocationProvider.apk (delete).
Within MmsFavoriteProvider.apk has SQLite database (. Db), I can open and edit the text.
The file is /res/raw/mmsfrovider.db (Preprogrammed messages).
Already quick texts are in arrays.xml of "TelephonyProvider.apk", putting what I want and recompile
Use this program:

WOW Thanks for tips @falcaobr :highfive:
Probably a dumb question but could I just replace the LocationProvider.apk with the one from my stock ROM or is the Lewa LocationProvider.apk framework specific
:victory:
Ok I removed the the LocationProvider.apk and the Chinese text is gone :good:
I have found The file /res/raw/mmsfrovider.db and I can edit the text with SQLite database as you suggest :good:
I have a problem with the quick texts arrays.xml of "TelephonyProvider.apk" I can not find arrays.xml within the .apk
I do have the option to send quick text replies in Chinese so I guess the file must be there somewhere (should I use apktool to decompile the apk)

Ok,
Test can replace LocationProvider, but does not affect anything, best to delete.
Yes, quick texts are arrays.xml.
TelefoneProvider.apk have to decompile with apktool and edit:
res/values/arrays.xml.
cheers

Hi Thanks @falcaobr,
I will use apktool to try locate the arrays.xml in /res/values as 7zip does not show "values" or unpack this
I deleted LocationProvider as you said and everything is normal and does not seem to affect anything as you have said except removing the chinese from the contacts.
Thanks for the help bro it is much appreciated

hi, can anyone replace icons from archive to apk in archive ? http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/52683022/file.html because when I'm doing it and changing this app in system/app icons are stretched, I changed icons via WinRar because when I'm trying to de/recompile this app via apk tool and other similar applications I have errors and can't do it properly
regards
Yes... But I need the original .pngs (those are from a decompiled .apk) - you can obtain them easy just unzip that .apk using "7 zip". And the framework-res.apk from the same folder (framework) as SemcGenericUxpRes.apk you are trying to modify (because I need to install it in my "APK Multi-Tool", otherwise I can't recompile the .apk)
so here is my framework and original icons http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/11770168/file.html
XperienceD said:
Quick Tip: If all you want to do is edit or replace normal images, things like your Status Bar icons or Menu icons like those used in the main screen of Settings then decompiling IS NOT necessary, simply open the apk in a zip program then just drag and drop any replacement images in to the correct folder, for images like your actual Status Bar which may have a .9 at the end then decompiling IS required.
Note: It's important to use STORE as the compression method when replacing images in the apk.
Also Note: .9 pngs need to be edited ONLY when in the decompiled folder, if you just take a .9 png and edit it then you won't be able to see the borders that the system needs to determine how that image should be displayed. I have included links at the end of this post to help with .9 editing along with links to other various theming resources that I've come across and bookmarked.

I can help you. But I said to give me the original .png that you want to paste into SemcGenericUxpRes.apk. Those that you uploaded the first time was from a decompiled .apk, and the ones uploaded the second time (with framework-res.apk) are already included in SemcGenericUxpRes.apk. Give me those and I promise I'll give you SemcGenericUxpRes.apk in max. 10 minutes after.

Here it is. Try it. I hope it will work. By the way I resized them a little, because they were not the same size as the ones from the original .apk.

OK. I'm very happy for you. Have a nice day. I used the same tutorial for recompiling...
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

You must decompile LGSystemUI.apk, then find&replace icons in /res/drawable-hdpi/ folder, must be same size (picture-no data) and type (usually .png).
Some of icons is in lge-res.apk and framework-res.apk. Procedure is same.
Files must be deodexed.
Recompile and enjoy.

So, lets start with that... it is (infinitely) simpler than handling with android.policy.jar.
For beginning, please read and install from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719
All of this you need if you want to use VTS.
That is good base for start and understand this process (and works with kitkat).
And for virtuos ten studio, first you MUST read tutorials at this page: http://virtuous-ten-studio.com/, but if you don't understand base of whole process, VTS is useless.

I dont know where you take only icons, you must take it by yourself from LGSystemUI, or framework-res from original G3 rom.
Try to extract from here: https://app.box.com/s/m0tvrwabte4x6lyc2la1, if they look like in attached pic.
Or try to search or ask someone on G3 forum.
