there in the framework-res.apk and easy to replace, if you find some emoticons you like i can replace them for you
can u tell the method in PLAIN ENGLISH please?
Same as the guy above..oh and if it's not too much to ask, can you pls give us a step by step guide on how to do this.
1. Extract your framework-res.apk. you will find it in /system/framework/.
2. download and install 7zip, on your pc.. its a free program.
3. on your pc, right click on your extracted framework-res.apk, find the 7zip contex menu, and click on open archive (DONT EXTRACT IT)
4. A box will open, now navigate to the \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder, inside there you will find the emoticons, they have names like "emo_im_cool.png" and "emo_im_crying.png". find some suitable replacement emoticons, and rename them to the match the file names in the folder.
5. just drag and drop your new emoticons in the folder, and replace the existing ones.
6. close 7zip. now download the update.zip template i've attached at the bottom, unzip it and copy your modified framework to the framework folder inside the zip, go back to the root of the zip and zip it back up.
7. copy the update.zip to the root of your sd card and flash it from recovery
I found an easier solution, will post it IF succesful
But what if you just want to replace the text instead of the image?

I don't mind donating to someone who can help either, but, basically, here's my theme/setup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I want to do, is change the color of the inside of the boxes behind the numbers to red, and leave the rims around them black/gray.
Is there anyway to edit the apk to do this? If so, could anoyne guide me through it? I would love help, because I think that that would just put my setup towards perfect for me.
well, usually what I do in this situation is first copy the apk to a working directory. Then extract the apk in the working directory, and look in one of the drawable folders for the image. Edit the image to your liking. Then when you are done, replace the original image inside the untouched apk you kept in your working directory. You should then be able to either push that apk back onto the phone, install it, or package it in the rom and reflash.

Ya know, I've been looking for the Apk file in my phone, and I have no idea where it's at (using sdk tools to search through my phone), because I was thinking just with common sense, that what you said would be the way to go about it.
here's the dev. site:
http://www.davidgoemans.com/mainsite/node/13
It looks like there's no apk to dload to the computer first... is there anyway you can help me with where to look on my phone for the file?
It is probably in /system/framework
Either com.htc.resources.apk
or
framework-res.apk
Well, I went ahead and found it, but, now it's not letting me install the apk for some reason. It's saiying that it's replacing the old digiclock even though I removed that one.
Here's the apk file I created. All I did was rename it to a zip, replace the files, and rename it back to apk.
Can anyone help?
Ok, I got it. I ended up getting the apk manager 4.8 from here, and it took seconds to run through that.
Here's the updated clock.
Looks very good

Hey, thanks!
Running a deodexed 2.2 rom with a custom theme that I love and don't want to part with, but one thing I would love to change are the white boxes that come up in apps. (Whats shown here on the bottom)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there a transparent or black theme that I could change those to without altering anything else?
From searching this forum I found many transparent staus/notification bars but no transparent menus yet.
The two files you need to edit are menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png and menu_background.9.png. Both are in framework-res in the drawable-hdpi folder. Be warned if you make em black you will need to invert the text also or it'll be black on black and useless.

Thanks so much man.
Ok I found the files in question through the framework.apk through root explorer but I don't think me going in and editing the .png image will work on it's own right? I can't just extract the image, change it, and plug it back in and have it work right?
Ok searching some more looks like I will need Ninjamorph to just change out the .png files. Lets see how this goes. Thanks again!

Is this something I would need metamorph for?

Thats exactly what you do.
Put the framework-res.apk on your desktop
Extract it
Go to those images and edit them
Drop your edited images back into their proper path in the actual .apk itself
adb push that apk back into system/framework.
Reboot. Set perms with root explorer on that modded apk and reboot again.
Done
Ok thanks Wild, I just edited my last post and I am guessing I can eliminate some of that (connecting to the PC) if I just use Ninjamorph.
Well after following the Ninjamorph directions to a T. I got stuck in boot loops and never got to seee how teh finished product came out.
Will probably just try tomorrow on my computer doing it the other way.
Anyway thanks for the help guys and have a nice night.

1) first of all be sure, that you want to add it to a samsung based rom
2) after that download the note2 mini rom from the rom section (you will find it with searching)
3) extract the .zip file, search the systemui, secsettings and secsettingsprovider (they are in the preload floder)
4) put them on your phone, replace the original 3 files, with the new ones (use root explorer)
5) you must make a factory reset, otherwise the secsettingsprovider wont do the job
6) enjoy, and dont forget to thanx

but how to edit icon keyboard?
ex: icon enter or icon backspace or icon ALT and icon mic?
You see, I am now using an android L theme on the new theme engine on PA BETA 1 but these navbar playstation icons bother me quite a bit. I much prefer the ones I use with softkeyz (no it doesn't work changing with it), the so called alternate android L's navbar.
Can it be themed manually or something? These ones to be more precise:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone has a clue? Someone with experience on themes or knows how to do it.
I was exactly searching for this !
I got it! Had to edit the theme by decompiling and recompiling it back with the navbar icons I wanted. It is not that hard though.

so easy...change your theme apk file to zip format by renaming it.open with win rar and unzip it.you have some extracted folders and follow this:
assets<overlays<com.android.systemui<res<drawable-xxhdpi.in this folder looking for these PNG files like ic_sysbar_home,ic_sysbar_menu and etc. these are the themed ones for soft keyz.change them as you wish and remember your modification should respect the orginal png file size.anfter that surf back to the root of themed folders and rezip and sign it with some thing like signer app. done!:good:
