Ultimate Extractor

I got this idea from a thread where someone was asking for a certain icon pack and I suggested to go one by one and grab the icon from each apk. I then thought to myself that this could all be automated. So here it is:
Ultimate Extractor
HOW TO USE:
1. Download icex.zip
2. Make folder C:\icex
3. Extract files from icex.zip to C:\icex
4. Put the theme in C:\icex (has to have .zip extension)
5. Make sure that the theme is the only zip file in C:\icex
6. Now you have 4 choices:
-> 6a: If you want everything (.pngs, .jpgs, .xmls) run UltimateExtractor.bat
-> 6b: If you want only icons (icon.png or ic_launcher*.png) run IconExtractor.bat
-> 6c: If you want almost every single .png run PngExtractor.bat
-> 6d: If you want to run Ultimate Extractor on .apks and not a whole zip file, run UltimateExtractorApk.bat *NEW*
Thanks to ultra spikey for his theme porter script which I based mines off of and thanks to woelv for the thread that got me to do this.

ICon EXtractor v1.0
HOW TO USE:
1. Download icex.zip
2. Make folder C:\icex
3. Extract files from icex.zip to C:\icex
4. Put the theme in C:\icex (has to have .zip extension)
5. Make sure that the theme is the only zip file in C:\icex
6. Now you have to choices:
-> 6a: If you want every single icon, run IconExtractor.bat
-> 6a -> 1: You will be prompted twice
-> 6a -> 2: Hit 'u' and enter at both prompts
-> 6b: If you dont want to be prompted, run IconExtractor_NoPrompt.bat
7. All the icons will now be in folder C:\icex\icons
The reason that the non prompting one won't give you all the icons is because a lot of icons are named "icon.png" so they end up overwriting each other. Also some of the ic_launcher* icons have the same name as well (such as ic_launcher_gallery). The prompting script gives you the option to automatically rename the .pngs as they are extracted. I will try and find a way around this eventually.
I will try to find a way to get all the icons without being prompted (its a 7z thing)

hehe thanks man .. if only i could get it to be perfect

nice work! now you need another tool to repack the icons. so people can extract icons from one place and repack them automatically into another. that would be perfect since people who extract the icons want to use it for another app or theme.

Maybe you could create folders for each apk. So that the icons can be easily identified?
Great work, by the way!

i was able to get them into folders for each apk but i was having trouble getting them to the root of each folder (they were in res/drawable within each folder which is what im trying to avoid)
ill keep working on it and see if i can get them into the root of their own folders
EDIT: found a huge bug which ill be fixing for the next update

This would make mylife ten times easier to port themes. I have to search through the whole rom to get the png's I need. It takes around 4 hours to do. Plus some of the older roms png's have different names for them. Mostly on the Framework. Does it extract the png's from the Framework as well?

Yea it should be doing so but ill double check to make sure
EDIT: no i wasnt doing it before but i implemented it now

ok new update
have everything in separate folders now
enjoy
ALSO, for anyone who's curious .. that 'huge bug' is due to some themes having an 'app' folder while others have 'system/app' ... my script wasnt working with the 'app' folder before ... now it tests for it
EDIT: had to re up it real quick with a small fix

Should I reboot after doing this process or simply the icons apply themselves instantly? 'Cause I did it and nothing happened. i'm on CyanogenMod 3.97 and try to put icons of the Aero theme...Can some help...Pleaseeee

this isnt changing the icons in your phone .. this extracts the icons from any theme and puts them in a folder on your computer .... its mainly a help to theme devs or anyone looking just for icons

Ohhh ok good thanks for the reply

This program works great....Only one thing though, on the launcher folder, seems like the png's w/ the same name get over writen. Example= "delete_handle" from Res/drawable-land AND Res/drawable-port aren't two different Png's. Maybe for this apk and others with thhe same folders, you could place them in the original folders----Drawable----Drawable-land----Drawable-port, as you said it work before hand. Some other folder/Png's are missing as well...
I tryed to use UltraSpikey's theme converter and was unsucessful. I was More accurate using this method, thanks to you... It is gladly appreciated...

yea the overwriting pisses me off but its the only way to get it fully automated .. i will add a second version that will prompt to rename any pngs ... or i can try to get the drawable, drawable-land, and drawable-port right ... can you let me know which folders are missing so i can see why?

Can't wait until saturday night, i'm off work, so i can play with this. Thanks for your hard work!

now they get extracted into their respective folders (drawable, drawable-land, drawable-port, etc) (also this stops the overwriting )

no problem man .. just trying to use what ive learned so far to help out the community

Works perfect now!!!
Ten Thumbs up!!!!!!
Now its like stealing candy from the baby...

Any ideas that i should implement .. it feels sorta 'final' but i can always try and optimize/revise/add to it

There's always room for improvement... How about making this script pull the Jpeg"s off the Framework and Launcher??? Then at a later date(Next update) locate the most common edited Xml's files to be pulled off next...

[UPDATED][UI Animations] New Android UI Animations

Below are four new android UI animations created by Stale Bread, these will change how things popup and show on screen.
There are two ways to apply new animations first is Metamorph and second is to manualy copy new animations to your android phone.
This should work on ANY 2.1 and 2.2 (apparently it works on 2.3 ) android phone!
NOTE If Metamorph fails, you get force closes or boot loops, try to manually add animations!!
- Metamorph (thanks cXhristian from samdroid).
Before morph do a nandroid backup so you can revert if you don't like them, or if anything goes wrong!!!!
Fly In Animations:
Download.
Youtubewith Fly In animations.
Fold Animations:
Download.
Youtube with Fold Animations.
Flip Animations:
Download.
Youtube with Flip Animations.
Bounce Animations:
Download.
Youtube with Bounce Animations.
Download all animations!
Stock Lockscreen animations, flash this if the text "Unlock" has disappeared from your lockscreen (Stock android only, with Sense and other shouldn't be a problem)
How to use animations with Metamorph:
First install Metamorph from Android Market.
Download the animation you wish to have, and place it on the root of SD card.
Start Metamorph and press "Start Checks".
After checks press "Unzip/Extract new theme" then locate the animations zip on SD card.
Metamorph will automatically extract them, when finished extracting a window will popup, press close.
Now just press "Apply all!" and wait for reboot.
Done!
- Manually copy animations
Before doing this do a nandroid backup so you can revert if you don't like them, or if anything goes wrong!!!!
Connect your phone to your PC (USB debuging must be on!)
Download required ADB shell files (users who know how to operate with adb don't need this), and extract them to root of your C disk.
First you need your framework-res.apk, open cmd and copy below code:
Code:
cd c:\Android
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\Android
This will copy framework-res.apk to C:\Android
Downlad the animation you want from above Metamorph part of the post.
Open the file with compression/decompression program (Winrar, Winzip), and
extract the framework-res where you want.
Open the (pulled from phone) framework-res.apk with Winrar/Winzip and navigate to res/anim (you need to see all sorts of .xml files and leave the window open)
Now open the framework-res (from Metamorph zip)and go to res/anim, select all files within anim folder, drag and drop them to previously left open Winrar/Winzip window, now there are new animations in framework-res.apk, you can close Winrar/Winzip window.
Phone needs to be connected to PC. Enter the below code to cmd to push framework-res.apk back to phone:
Code:
cd c:\Android
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Code:
adb reboot
Hope it works =)

As always do a nandroid before flash.

And if you would like, I could make updates with these animations for other roms too.

I think these animations (not the above updates) can be used on any android 2.1 and 2.2 phone. I'm just not sure about WVGA, VGA, QVGA resolution.
EDIT: it works on every android phone

Looks like I didnt get the correct theme, for your rom.
This will work!

So I'm kind of confused which one I should use so I'm curious which one will work with a rooted Mytouch 3g 1.2 flashed with CM 6.0.0? Is it the Community Hero Mix 4.0? If so they wouldn't flash because my recovery claimed the zips were bad.

how about you send me your framework-res.apk (server is currently down), and then it will 100% work, because I have used nightly 09182010-001910.zip for my animations

Very nice work. I may add this with Community Hero Mix by default with permission and credits to the developer of course. Haven't decide which one though.

Customize your phone (theme/icons/locksreen)

Hello dear Forum...
First off I have to apologize if I missed something in a sticky,
since I'm new to the forum and the hole rooting/customizing on my GT I-9000.
I've successfully rooted my phone and I'm running Darky_v10_RC5_Final now.
Could anyone provide a link or an explanation how to:
# set own icons for apps
# set lockscreen (as its said there are 4 different ones on this ROM; plus changing the lockscreen image in the settings is not quite working for me)
# setting another theme - if not too complicated.
many thanks in advance - seems to be a truly nice community!

To change the icon in an apk, you need to get the apk, open it with winrar and go to drawable-hdpi
There are pngs there. Normally, the icon one is called icon.png, but on some apps, it has a different name, for example ic_launcher_phone.png
You edit it and substitute it.
Then you push the apk back into your phone into /system/app in case it's a system app or you just copy the apk to your sdcard and install it.
Lockscreen background may not work with some specific lockscreens.
For a theme, to make one you'd need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi (opening it with winrar) and then push it back. That's for changing icons and part of the appearance, but to change text colours and other things you'd need to decompile the apk and edit some xml's.
To apply a theme you just need the zip of the theme, copy it into your sdcard and install it through cwm.

Is there no way to change the icons of stock applications?
And how may I change the lockscreen?
could you please give me a link, or something how to apply themes via cwm - to be honest I don't even know what cwm is.
sorry for all the questions - many thanks in advance!

Sorry, had lost track of this thread.
You can change the icon of stock applications in same way, but you must be rooted since they are located in system/app
For the lockscreen, to theme the glass lockscreen, you need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi named zzz_unlock_arrow_0000.png up to zzz_unlock_arrow_0009.png and the zzz_unlock_blackbg.9.png and zzz_blackbg_dual.9.png
To theme puzzle lockscreen:
edit zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock and zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock_fit
For android lockscreen (in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-land-hdpi):
ic_jog_dial_unlock
ic_jog_dial_sound on
ic_jog_dial_sound off
For epic unlock on framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
In case you want to get a stock framework and get aosp lockscreen:
To get aosp lockscreen you'd need to decompile classes.dex in android.policy.jar and edit a few files.
For that, i use ubuntu.
You open android.policy.jar and extract classes.dex
Then get baksmali and smali and place them in the same location as classes.dex
Open up a terminal and type cd and the location
Example:
cd /home/coldflid/Desktop
Then type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex
(if you've got another version of bajsmali change the 1.2.5 for the version you have).
You can type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex -o *
Where * is the name of the folder where you want classes.dex to be decompiled
Then you'd need to mod LockPatternKeyGuardView.smali or replace it with a modded one.
Then type in terminal
Then type java -jar smali-1.2.5.jar *
Where * is the name of the folder where classes.dex was decompiled
out.dex should be generated, rename it to classes.dex and copy it to android.policy.jar (replace the old one).
Then use root explorer to copy it to system/framework

if you have apkmanager, u will need to install the proper frameworks for sense with apktool (i use linux apktool exclusively at home...when forced to use windows i use apkmanager but put apktool if my sdk/tools folder for installation)
in the scenario where u have an apktool.jar in ur sdk/tools folder (doesnt matter where apkmanager is)
pull framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from the rom.zip and put them in ur tools folder
cd ur tools folder
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
(this will install the proper frameworks for decompile/recompile)
now pull systemui.apk and rosie.apk from the rom.zip
decompile both
go into projects folder for apkmanager
*to edit the pulldown from VivoW
-go into framework-res.apk folder in projects
-res folder -> values folder > strings.xml
change the "VivoW" in this at the bottom:
Code:
<string name="custom_status_banner">VivoW</string>
to whatever u want less than 16 characters (iirc)
*to edit TeamSbrissenMod from Rosie app drawer header
-go into rosie.apk folder in projects
-res folder _>values folder -> strings.xml
change the "TeamSbrissenMod" near the bottom in this:
Code:
<string name="all_apps_tab_all_apps">TeamSbrissenmod</string>
to whatever u want
*edit: if using sense 3 patch, must do the above edit to that rosie as well (systemUI isnt changed so theres no additional one to edit for VivoW)
any sense 2.1 rom rosie can be edited like that, the sys ui edit doesnt exist in other roms though, i added it to the xml and methods in smali

i dont do things for donations...if u like something ive done, and want to donate thats completely optional but appreciated
i dont have much time through the end of the weekend...but i can upload a zip with those 2 changes for you on monday (im off)...ill pm it to u
if you have apkmanager, u will need to install the proper frameworks for sense with apktool (i use linux apktool exclusively at home...when forced to use windows i use apkmanager but put apktool if my sdk/tools folder for installation)
in the scenario where u have an apktool.jar in ur sdk/tools folder (doesnt matter where apkmanager is)
pull framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from the rom.zip and put them in ur tools folder
cd ur tools folder
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
(this will install the proper frameworks for decompile/recompile)
now pull systemui.apk and rosie.apk from the rom.zip
decompile both
go into projects folder for apkmanager
*to edit the pulldown from VivoW
-go into framework-res.apk folder in projects
-res folder -> values folder > strings.xml
change the "VivoW" in this at the bottom:
Code:
<string name="custom_status_banner">VivoW</string>
to whatever u want less than 16 characters (iirc)
*to edit TeamSbrissenMod from Rosie app drawer header
-go into rosie.apk folder in projects
-res folder _>values folder -> strings.xml
change the "TeamSbrissenMod" near the bottom in this:
Code:
<string name="all_apps_tab_all_apps">TeamSbrissenmod</string>
to whatever u want
*edit: if using sense 3 patch, must do the above edit to that rosie as well (systemUI isnt changed so theres no additional one to edit for VivoW)

[Q] How to remove current wallpaper?

Is it even possible to remove default wallpaper? Sorry for the stupid question.

If what you mean is to change the default wallpaper, I think you could modify the framework-res.apk file. There's a resource file called default_wallpaper.png (or close to that, I forget ) change it with an image you want, I believe there's a tutorial about that in XDA
If you want to change your current wallpaper, you could do a long press at your homescreen and select wallpaper
Hope this helps,

Yeah yeah! Default wallpaper is what i meant. Where is this framework-res.apk file that i can change? Hmmm.

I found the framework-res.apk file, but couldn't find the default_picture.png?

This is how I did it :
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. Install "root explorer" or such application (I assume you know how to use it, if not, google it, it's not hard,really)
3. Copy the original framework-res.apk (in /system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your SD card, copy it to your PC.
4. Use 7-zip to open the framework-res.apk from your phone
5. Move to "\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\" (see screenshot)
6. Look for "default_wallpaper.jpg" (see screenshot again)
7. Now, you could just change that file with another file, choose the wallpaper of your choice, and resize it to match the resolution of the "default_wallpaper.jpg" (if it's 400x800, your new file SHOULD have the same resolution, to prevent... I don't know, just to be on the safe side )
8. Rename your new file to Default_wallpaper.jpg, and drag it to the 7-zip window with the original default_wallpaper.jpg, overwrite it
9. Push the new framework-res.apk to your phone (use root explorer or adb, I used the root explorer)
10. Reboot phone
NOTE!!
I haven't tried to change the default wallpaper, but I do change many parts of the framework-res.apk, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Step 4 is not that clear Reidzeibel, you mean open it on my phone or PC?

Oh sorry, I mean, open the file on your PC (it's the one that you modify, and later push it to overwrite the original framework-res.apk)
And before doing anything to your handheld, prepare a nandroid backup just in case. I did a nandroid backup everytime I modify the Android system files.

Reidzeibel

Dude :
-I extracted framework-res.apk using 7zip on my PC.
-I replaced the default wallpaper with my desired wallpaper.
-Now, i do not know how to compressed it back to .apk file.

No, don't extract it, just open it in 7-zip and leave it opened, don't extract, don't do anything, just find the image file you want to change, resize it to match the resolution of "default_wallpaper.jpg".
I've attached two more screenshots to show you, hope it helps
Regards,
Reidzeibel
P.S:
-In the "drag" screenshot, I replaced three files, those with entries on the "created" and "accessed" field are the ones I replaced, the files I edit are shown in the explorer window behind the 7-zip window

Bro,
I did exactly as you show the steps above and it suddenly reboots! Why it happened?
EDIT :
By doing all those methods, will it change the lockscreen a well?
P/S : Do you know how to modify the transition when locking the phone? Just asking!

Uh, I had no reboot while doing the push, I rebooted manually after having several force close windows popped up (in my case), but then after reboot, it works normally. Is the default wallpaper changed?
No, Lockscreen wallpaper have it's own option in the settings->display
And for the transition, no I didn't have time to try it yet. But I do want to learn how to change my phone lockscreen transition into ICS manually (without theme) <--- this, or your question is about the crt-animation when screen turns off (locking phone)?

1. My phone rebooted itself and then there were some FC's with the launcher. I clicked on Force Close and it is back to normal. My default wallpaper changed as i desired as well! Thanks to you Reidzeibel!
2. For lockscreen wallpaper, there's nothing related to modifying the framework, is it?
3. Due to lockscreen transition, i meant that by changing the transition into ICS manually because i LOVE the old-tv-like transition!

1. Mine was : Force close ALL THE WAY =___=, then the notification bar screwed up, all applications icon turned to default, the phone became laggy, then I rebooted manually. There's the thanks button, click it, LOL
2. As far as I know, All theme-related files are :
-Framework-res.apk
-SystemUI.apk
-Settings.apk
These three files have some connection to the theme, I themed my notification bar as in the first post by modifying Framework-res and SystemUI. The ICS theme file in the Theme Thread has the three files included inside it. Thus to edit the lockscreen transition, I believe you have to edit the three files, in a more complicated way (might have to deodex, decompile, recompile, smali-ing, and so on)
3. Actually you could just apply the ICS theme, and then modify the framework-res.apk to enable the CRT-animation, it is easier than porting the ICS theme to your own framework-res.apk

1. Clicked it already! Hehe.
2. I think i'm gonna opt that out as i do not how to do those complicated stuffs, well i'm not a dev.
3. ICS Theme? Where do i find it? And how do i modify to enable CRT-animation? I have so much to learn! Sorry for the excessive '?'.

1. Thanks for clicking thanks )
2. I'm not a dev too -_-, but I do learn some stuffs to modify my I8150, read many topics here, and I'm sure you'd be able to personalize your I8150
3. There's one at the Theme thread, But I haven't tried it yet, If you want to try it, make sure you create a nandroid backup beforehand.
No worries about the excessive "?"
Actually I have a thread in another forum that explains about the CRT-animations and modifying SystemUI & Framework-res.apk, read it somewhere in XDA. (forget where it is) Too bad it is in Indonesian Language, too busy to translate it into english, maybe later I'll post at the theme section, as it is all about theme. *and I just reached 10 post here on XDA, thanks to you too )*

Mister Reidzeibel, thanks for the short reply as well as your helps. I appreciate it dude! Thanks AGAIN! For default wallpaper, i'm really quite satisfied with the outcome. For the lockscreen, maybe i'll just use my picture as one. HAHA! And for the lockscreen transition, i have posted a new thread about it and i'll just...wait for someone to provide me the tips to do so! Good day bro!
