You'd have to decompile the app and modify the images within and the xml files as well; This may be challenging work though as I'm very unsure how the app would be affected after being modified;

Use APK extractor (no root needed) to extract userdata and system files. If you have Windows/Linux they have many tools to help

Hey guys,
I was searching for a tool to edit an apk file and i found Apk Tool on xda but i think it's not
that much easy to work with this program. (for a n00b, like me.. )
I managed to open and edit te file with winRAR,
but is this program also capable of proper compiling the app again, ready to use?
I tried it and it worked well i think, but is this possible with any app or other kinds of changes?
If this is stupid or something, please tell me. I am not very experienced in these kinds of things.. (neither in english, sorry.. )
Somebody any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

It all depends on what you edit,obviously you didnt make a fatal change,so it must have been small,no its not possible to edit anything else as far as the manifest and xml files.You'll get a parsing error.

Okay, that's true i only changed those kinds of files and it wasn't a problem yet.
I changed somethings in an demo version of an app and now it recognizes it as the full version so winRAR can be pretty usefull for apk edit if you keep things simple like this..

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

Hmm i extracted system img. i can just find lglockscreen settings. If you want to port it i think you need to dig into lge-res.apk and maybe framework-res.apk .
I have added ported LG G3 app Lockscreen.apk and it ruined my system. I'm such an idiot because I didn't make a copy of original apk, and now I'm unable to change lock screen wallpaper or to create shortcuts on lock screen.

Sorry, I explained it bad. I have downloaded LG G3 lock screen. Then it ruined my system with LGKeyguard.apk from G3 too. So I copied LGKeyguard.apk from original system.img and downloaded Lockscreen.apk from random user of Internet, but it seems that app I downloaded isn't original D605 app. So it doesn't work.
