I have not looked myself. But try framework-res.apk in /system/framework/
or if the lockscreen has an .apk in /system/app/ try that too
Looked through there and found a couple that I might work on and see if it works and also its the best quote out of all three movies or. " what do you mean just rebuild it. And who's going to give a loan? What do you have an atm on that torso light bright of yours"

Some of the images are compiled with special attributes. I don't remember what the exact extension is but it will be like .png.9 or something like that after the png. These have to be made with a tool in eclipse as far as I know. Any of the rest of the regular png files can just be edited like normal and placed back in the apk.

I'm trying to modify certain icons on the status bar but not having any luck. Some files are locked when I open them up in photoshop so I can't edit them.
Anyone have any idea why that is? It isn't a .9 file...
I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about:

This is most likely because the image is in indexed color mode. Try changing it to RGB by going to Image > Mode > RGB. Hope this helps!
Edit: I'm stealing the text from the very bottom of your signature btw
Double click the locked layer in the layer palette a dialog should pop up and hit ok that usually unlocks the layer for me.

Awesome, I ran into this problem a few times as well, some of the images in the framework are indexed and some are not, there are even a few in there that are grayscale, which will really throw you off when you are trying to add color haha

I'm not on my laptop right now so I can't check to make sure this works, but try changing the mode to indexed color and save it. Then exit photoshop and reopen it and open the file again and change it to RGB. That should do the trick, if not let me know and i'll look into it myself; i'll be back at my comp in like 15 mins lol. Also, if it still isn't being colored in RGB mode, make sure that the hue/saturation is not turned all the way down in the document itself, not just the layer.
I am trying to remove some useless options in the SGS3 TW Launcher. In the pic below I highlighted what I am trying to remove. It is a redundant option and when you select those two options it gives you blank boxes. I have decompiled the apk and have searched through the xmls and smali. I cannot seem to find which or what determines how many slots and what it displayed in that menu.
If anyone has any ideas or insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.

I could take a look but don't have a copy of the sgs3 launcher. I just fell in love with the LG launcher. The way you can pinch the widgets on and off the home screen rocks.
I can upload it for you if you want. I already have it decompiled. If you want i can zip it up and link it.
See if deleting the strings in strings.XML work. It may remove the boxes.

Sorry for not getting back to you quick enough i had fallen asleep. But that was what I was gonna do was check the xml's and look for the menu settings then delete any lines that had parameters associated with those menu options. Sometimes I get it right and other times I just F it up. Lol

Its all good man. I just now woke up myself. Get me some caffeine in me and I'm gonna try that. See what that does.
Well I tried editing the stringsxml and it seems to be somewhat in the right direction. Now when you long press the homescreen it just force closes. I have uploaded a zip that has the launcher in apk and in decompiled state for anyone that wants to look through it. Ive been working on this for like a week and kinda scratching my head right now LOL.
You will not be able to remove strings like that. any time they get called in the app it will FC if you do that. You will need to find where that string is being called in the xml or smali and remove it from there. Usually putting a 0.0dip width and height will remove them with no errors.

Right! I should have thought of that from working on a lock screen mod a few weeks ago. Unfortunately Im not that good with smali, baksmali yet. When I recompiled it, the lock screen showed up but wouldn't unlock the phone, lol. Ended up restoring.

Disable Capacitive Button Lights
If you'd rather have the capacitive button lights off:
Download "Night Mode" from play store
Set slider to 100% and start service
Go to settings
Disable "Minimum brightness" and "notification"
Now it won't mess with your brightness but disable capacitive button backlights

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just choose the option "always off" in system>display>touch key light duration in order turn off the capacitive button lights?

I've tried, but the PNG's don't appear to be in res/drawable-hdpi. I'll look through the other folders tomorrow to see if I can find anything.
If I can, I plan on making another mod for Gnex style buttons.

I followed a guide to do the edits and you probably did too so its none of our works really.
I spent hours figuring out how to successfully recompile framework-res.apk. Then I had to figure out how to get it to boot. Then I had to change the height and figure out how to disable capacitive backlight.
Instead of being selfish, I released my mod to public.
I guess releasing my own work to public was a mistake.

Go to freezas system apk thread and use that to figure out how to decompile/recompile system apps.
Decompile framework-Res.apk. do all of your editing. Then you can recompile and push to /system/framework and boot the phone. If you did everything correctly, the bar at the bottom should reflect the edits.
Sent from my Sprint SGS3
Anybody can do this btw. Decompile framework-res.apk, look for the Navigation bar bool and set it to "true"
If you want different pngs for the buttons you need to look in SystemUI.apk
Here's a blank zip you can use
http://db.tt/mmOQPE5Z
Extract it and add a system folder then add an app folder within it (if modifying anything in /system/app or a /system/framework folder if you modified anything in /system/framework) and place your modified apk's in the appropriate folders
Zip up the META folder and system folder and flash in recovery

Sorry, man. Was half asleep when I saw this, and wasn't exactly rational.
To be fair though, monstaX and I were going back and forth on this over in Themes & Apps over the last couple days, and all progress was very visible there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771908
I was gonna package it and post it here (with an additional edit to the /keylayout folder to turn off capacitive keys and remap home to be a camera key) but my wife's car broke down yesterday and I had to deal with that.
Again, I apologize for being a douche. I need to stop using the internet when I'm tired.

Just a little reminder: ANDROID IS OPEN SOURCE. I dont like it when people call crap "their own work". All anybody is doing is tweaking the things that are already there.
Sorry, it just frustrates me.
I have finally found a tool that seems to work for me to adjust components of a theme. I love some of the stuff that is in vomer's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791815. However, I am running PA and obviously these files don't work for it (found that out the hard way, because I'm a noob). I was able to find a zipthemer zip on another thread to replace the navbar that is stock on my ROM. Next I want to change the status bar wifi/signal/clock/battery(circlemod) to white.
There is a link on the above page that has a file MiNCO, but I want to ziptheme it for my PA version. I didn't realize it wouldn't work, so I tried to just use that ZIP and it says there is no theme control file. What can I do to create one?

Unfortunately the "control file" section of that page is empty...not sure if it will ever get filled out. I had seen that page before I posted here
The Metamorph XML format is the control file format for ZipThemer. At one point I planned on adding ZipThemer specific features, but never got around to it. Sorry for the confusion.

So if I use Metamorph I ought ot be able to figure it out, okay, sounds good. I will give it a go.
I was able to ziptheme my navbar softkeys, but two of the softkeys didn't change. Any idea why that might happen? Any advice? Specifically, the Search key and the minimize keyboard key.
Right now I am working on changing the status bar icons/clock. We will see what happens.
Edit: well, it looks like my zipthemer zip didn't have a minimize keyboard softkey. gonna have to find one lol.
No Expert, but after digging I found where that wallpaper is located. As mentioned no expert but I was able to change mine, it will still show default wallpaper when setting color in accessory but the one you place is displayed. It is located in:
framework-res.apk in res\drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi\mainbg_pattern_mainarea.png
I just pulled to desktop, opened with 7-zip, replaced, pushed.
Maybe someone with more theming experience can create a better way to mod it so that you don't have to set the color as it takes away from the actual image. Tried taking a screen shot but no go. Just using solid black background with size 1002x891and naming it the same as what it was in that dir.
If i helped, hit thanks!
