I sure do!
connect you phone with debugging on. open up you cmd, cd to you rsdk tools folder, use command adb
pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk.
once you have done this the com.htc.resources.apk will be in you tools folder. Make 2 copys of this to a place that you can work with it. Leave one of these alone. take your other one and you open this with 7zip DONT UNZIP THIS ONLY OPEN. navagate to res\drawable-hdpi inside you will find many png file find the png that is what you have on your status bar and replace it with the one you are wanting making sure they are named the same. once you have all your files replaced close it up. Take your modded com.htc.resources.apk and place it in your sdk tools folder. With your phone connected open you cmd cd back to your sdk tools folder and use the commands
adb remount
adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
after you have issued the last comand let it set your phone will reboot its self and you should have your handy work

Are there certain png files I am looking for once I get the file open or will that just stick out at me?
Easiest way I found is look for the ones you see on you're phone

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this. Some are already set up as a flashable zip you can flash in recovery. You can search through the Themes and Apps sections for others, but I use this way:
Be sure to have the Android SDK installed on your computer.
Download, and place the bootanimation.zip file in the TOOLS folder of the SDK.
Then the following ADB CODE:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
You're all set!
If there is no corresponding mp3 file, no need for the 3rd command line

wouldn't that location be different depending on if it's a sense or aosp rom?

That I am not sure of, as I have always used sense based ROMS for the 4gees.
I know that Pushboot has a separate batch file for CM6, so I am fairly sure that there is a different dir.
Root Explorer works well for me when ADB is not available.
Just download, rename appropriately, and move to /system/customize/resource (or wherever your ROM stores these things).

That's what I did way back when. I ran a search in astro for bootanimation.zip first (to find the old one that I was replacing), because I didn't know where to move it to back then.

I would like to change my banner and found a way to do it with out CDMA workshop and need to know how to setup or get into the adb(or into the shell). I apologize if Im not even saying this correctly! Can someone help me? Please see examples below:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
Thanks in advance!!!
EDIT: Can I use terminal emulator to do this?
EDIT: Do you have the Android SDK installed on your computer??? If not do this first:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I am guessing that you are using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801537
You cannot pull the file using TE.
Have you already modified your keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml file?
If so, then you need to use ADB to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ on your evo, and open with whatever zip prog you like
and replaced the one in /res/layout/ folder of the framework-res.apk.
When done, close up the apk, and use adb to push back to the /system/framework/ on your evo.
BOOM! DONE!

NP.
Just an FYI - With the new SDK for Android 2.3, ADB is now located in the /platform-tools folder.
It used to be in the /tools folder so whenever you see code that has you navigate to your tools folder to utilize ADB, use /platform-tools instead
Have fun!

Couple questions
1. is there a walk though on how to install ADK for windows 7 64 bit home? The only reason why I ask is in doing some searching I have found that alot of people are having trouble with it.
2. If Im only using android 2.2 then I still use tools/ right?
You will still use the platform-tools location even for 2.2 from now on with the latest sdk. I think just google set up adb win7 and you should be able to find it. Im just on my phone here.

That's intense! Glad it all worked out.
I have UltimateDroid 2.5 on DInc and I wanted to get rid of the default wallpaper, the android figure with the eyepatch. I know it is in framework.apk/drawable. I wanted to know how to delete the wallpaper from framework and put it back into the system folder. Thanks.
I'll help you with this. I'm assuming you know how to run the adb terminal and have 7zip installed.
first off always nandroid.
After you load cmd, change the directory to your adb, do this.
Make sure your device pops up after typing "adb devices"--no hyphens, if you already knew that my bad.
type:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
it will show up in your sdk folder in the tools directory. Right click the framework-res.apk. Find 7z and select open archive. Find the res folder, double click. Then find the drawable folder. The default wallpaper is located there. Slide whatever image you want into it after renaming it to default_wallpaper.jpg. After your done editing, close it out . in cmd type:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
It's changed.
No ADB knowledge needed. Just follow instructions.
1. Download mini-adb Here
2. Extract that and put it on your desktop.
3. Download original image file Here
4. Extract the image file using winrar, and put the extracted file onto your desktop.
5. Go into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to
Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\app and find swype.apk.
6. Take the swype.apk, copy it, and paste it into your mini-adb folder you extracted in step 2. Put it here: Desktop\EZ-MiniADB\MiniADB. The folder should also have RunMe.bat and adb.exe, and also the newly pasted swype.apk
7. Go back into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\lib and find libSwypeCore.so
8. Copy and paste that libSwypeCore.so into the same folder you pasted the Swype.apk
9. Go download HTC sync and install it.
10. Plug your phone into the laptop and make sure debugging mode is on.
9. Now go to your mini-adb folder on your desktop and double click RunMe.bat
10. When the black command prompt window pops up, type the following:
adb remount [PRESS ENTER]
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/ [PRESS ENTER]
adb push swype.apk /system/app/ [PRESS ENTER]
11. Unplug your phone, and you are done! You can set the option of using swype in your settings!
+1 Thanks if you got Swype Working
ADB KNOWLEDGE
Now that you used ADB to push the files, you can also use ADB to push other things to other places. Just make sure whatever you want to push is in the same folder as your RunMe.Bat....
or you could use the root explorer app and extract the files, move the files and install the apk from there... much easier and you dont have to use ADB

Quite frankly I never came across with a guide with your method. If you think your way is better, go make a guide for it. All the guides I came across didn't work for me except for this one, so that is why I made a guide.
I also found this .apk called Swype Restore in the Cyanogen forums.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...over-your-swype-after-installing-cyanogenmod/
Does the tutorial mentioned in OP require me to have this Cyanogen mod installed ? .. I just got a Desire Z about a week or two ago and I'm just running the default stuff and would like to just install Swype into that directly if possible ..
Or just sign up for the beta and install it...

If you take the effort to do it this way, you can always reinstall swype in like 3 seconds, beceause the apk and the lib file is already in ur mini adb folder.
I've tried my hardest on my own, but I cannot seem to decompile and compile the systemui.apk properly without throwing brut errors. I've used APK manager and apktool, and both give me errors about the dependencies I'm trying to use. For reference, I'm using NilsP's last release of 2.1/3.0 business sense.
What am I trying to do?: remove the gprsone icon from the statusbar. I know the .png is transparent, but still takes space up on the bar.
Reference thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231831
Any pointers? I've attached the framework-res and systemui in case somebody needs it to help.
Sure I can help. With apktook, you need to register your resources which are framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. Once you've registered those, then decompile the SystemUI.apk with apktool.
EDIT: Here's a quick little "How To" I use for apktool.
Put com.htc.resources/framework-res.apk's into the C:\Users\<username>\apktool folder (or where ever you keep your apktool)
Go to that directory in a CMD window, and type in:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Hit Enter
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
Hit Enter
Decompile run: apktool d <apk name>.apk
Compile run: apktool b <apk folder name only>
After you compile it, the apk will be in the dist folder. So for SystemUI.apk, the folder is named SystemUI. Open SystemUI/dist, and move the SystemUI.apk folder to your desktop. Use 7zip to open the original SystemUI.apk, extract the META-INF folder and Android Manifest. Open the new SystemUI.apk and put the META-INF and Android Manifest files into this new apk. You should be good to go then.
If you get really stuck, let me know and upload your com.htc.resources.apk, and I can help you out.
Attached are successful screenshots of registering your resources and decompiling successsfully, then recompiling successfully for reference as to what you should see. I used a Rosie.apk, but it'd be the same with SystemUI.apk.
Thank you for taking the time out to help!
Sorry but I followed your instructions to a T, but my phone won't get past the HBOOT (i think that's the correct term)
This time, I didn't get compile errors with apktool, but I'm not sure I did everything correctly.
I've attached my com.htc.resources.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/?2yoijsmr954md1g
Okay, I downloaded your SystemUI.apk file, and removed the classes.dex file using 7zip and decompiled that using a Java command and baksmali. I made the edits, recompiled the new classes.dex file using a Java command and smali.
It's a different way of doing things, and how I first learned to hide the location icon, and status bar clock so I feel most comfortable with doing it that way.
Attached is the updated SystemUI.apk you provided, with *hopefully* a hidden location icon from the status bar.
The easiest way to do this:
Hook phone up to computer via USB, reboot into Recovey.
Mount /system.
Open command prompt, CD to your SDK/platform-tools directory.
Type in: adb shell
Type in: cd /system/app
Type in: cp SystemUI.apk SystemUI.bak
NOTE: This makes a copy of SystemUI.apk named SystemUI.bak.
Type in: rm SystemUI.apk
NOTE: This removes SystemUI.apk, we can always to the opposite of the cp command from above to get the original back.
Type in: exit
Now make sure your modded SystemUI.apk is in your SDK/platform-tools folder, then type: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
Now let's make sure that the permissions will be correct, so adb shell back into your phone, and then type cd /system/app.
Lastly, type: chmod 0644 SystemUI.apk
Hit Enter.
Type in: exit
We're done, reboot your phone.
I want to say thanks for helping me out today.
I learned some things and got the location icon removed from the statusbar.
This sounds like a win!

Dude, that's great to hear! I love sharing what I've learned, and am glad you took the time and learned something! This stuff is fun, so continue learning!
It's a total win! If you wanna know the Java commands to decompile classes.dex, let me know, and I can pass that knowledge on!
