As I'm a bit old fashioned guy I'd prefer more lines of contacts per screen instead of useless contact pictures I've modified contacts.apk a bit. As you can see from the screenshots we've now more lines per page and only small frame for pictures (for those who can't live without).
The mod works on stock LPQ, de-odexed not necessary.

Will try this out. Any chance of modding the Favorites too ? And putting the contacts tab on phone.apk ?
I'll look into 'Favorites' and also the groups list, but putting contacts onto phone would be behind my capabilities.
Cheers
Toscha
Seems to be a bit more complicated as expected. I even haven't yet found where the favorites view is generated at all ...
Cheers
Toscha
Fantastic. I Like it very much.
Possibile a version Without pictures?
Also can U give the source?
Thanks
Without picture should be possible, though haven't tried yet. But I wonder whether swiping left and right (for calling and SMS) will still work w/o picture.
For the sources: It's all done within dimens.xml and styles.xml. Or are you asking to upload them, wouldn't be a problem either?
Cheers
Toscha
ok, i have test and not run to OMEGA v5
maybe just for stock...
i have lost "Phone"
ty cwm and backup
Sorry mate, I only use stock ROMs. So I'm not too surprised it didn't work on Omega v5. Far too many differences ...
Cheers
Toscha
no problem bro, backup
but your mod it's very good

hi mate,
ive been working on the exact same thing on my Galaxy S3 international with JB.. then ive got stuck on how to remove the thumbnails at the favorites list view, and started searching and found your thread here...
sooo, did you ever manage to find where the favorites list is generated? i would really like to know
thanks in advance.
Na, I'm sorry, never found that out. But to be fair, as I don't use favorites too often I simply stopped searching ...

Hey guys, i'm working on the same thing.
I am trying to put that favorites tab on hell and put the phonebook on replace.
If someone would like to help, lets go:
First i decompressed my actual contacts.apk to edit.
Then i decompressed the contacts.apk of an other rom that have already the contacts on the favorites place just like we want.
So i will upload the decompressed Contacts.apk so u can help me analize the file and find out where in the code is that, so we can change the tabs.
Resume: The file attached is an Contacts.apk that already have the contacts list instead of favorites.
edit: Forget to tell i did already try to just put the contacts.apk of other rom on my actual rom, but the phone icon just gone, the i had to put the original contacts.apk from the rom i'm using to work. But i guess you all already know that we cant just put the apk inside our rom.

finally found a way to remove favorites tab from samsung dialer

Ok, so I searched that exact search string and did not see anything like it so here is my question....
I am using Zone23's EVO-Zone Riptide Rom. I love the ROM and the theme has everything I like except for the little Android guy. I like the blue, but as much as I dislike Apple as well I can do without the little crossed out apple on Andy's chest. I modified photoshopped it and it came out just fine. I thought maybe that was the same one used in the list of contacts too but when I list my contacts, you can see the small Andy with the crossed out apple on his chest in the list. I am looking for what apk file find that little icon. I have tried the following apks and did not see it. I am hoping someone may know:
phone.apk
htcdialer
contacts provider
htccontacts
phone
I did find the large one in: Phone.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\phone_default.png
I have attached the examples of what I did thus far and the one icon I am trying to change.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I changed the avatars all at once....so I'm not sure what is what, but there are 2 more in
system\framework\com.htc.resources\res\drawable-hdpi

No problem, man.
hi all,
im trying to make a legend theme.
i made 4 screens.
i want to know the name of the png that is in the screen.
cause i cant really find it in framework-res.apk or com.htc.resources.apk
i hope someone can say what PNG it is ?
i need to know that name of the png so i can even theme it more like a legend.
thanks!

i know the first one is contained in the rosie.apk and is called all_programs_header_title.9
also it doesnt have the wording apparently thats controlled by an xml file not sure which
i found it in drawable-small-(whatever your res is, in this case ldpi)
i imagine the others are in a similar place of their respective .apk's

im looking at a sense 2.2 build from the tattoo forums sorry for trying to help, good luck on finding them
First off, I take no credit in doing this, this is meant to help people if they want to try it. And I am only making thread at request of others members.
If you break your phone I am not responsible, if you have questions though I am more than willing to help as much as I can but this was the first project I did.
There may be easier ways to do this but this is how I did it. If there is, feel free to comment the other ways!
I would like to say thanks to maddoggin and illinois08 for there help in getting mine figured out!
Requirements:
winrar (this is what I prefer but you can use any of your choice)
Original Swype.apk (included in thread and swype needs to be already installed)
image editing software (I personally used gimp and coreldraw) and experience in them.
common sense
What you are actually changing:
To change the look of swype is fairly simple, meaning all you are changing is some .png files in the apk itself to whatever you want them to be.
The only downside is trying to make sure the letter spacing is correct. That is the reason I used coreldraw first to do the spacing and then the background with my flames was in gimp.
First Step:
Using winrar (7zip, etc) open up Swype.apk (I placed on desktop for easier use).
The first folder should say assets. Open up assets. After you open assets, there should be a folder named keyboards. Drag the keyboards folder to desktop.
Once you open the keyboards folder, you will see multiple image files. You have found the files we need to edit! Make sure every png stays in there even if you decided not to edit one of them.
Files SwypeRef_LS_Blue_Shifted_WVGA.png (LS is landscape keyboard) through SwypeRef_PT_Standard_wBlue_VGA.png (PT is portrait, most important for me)
I only edited 4 of the images because these are the main 4 I use and don't use landscape. If you wish you can edit all of them or just 1 .
Second Step:
Using Gimp/or CorelDRAW, you will need to make new images that are 480x320 pixels. At this point, it is totally up to you to get the placements correct and make the image how you want it displayed.
I personally imported the images I was editing to Corel, and basically started a fresh one on top of it so I could get the letter placements correct. You need to make sure when you are done that the image is still 480x320 with the letters not being the end of the size. I made an outline that was 480x320 and placed the letters inside and exported the image that way so it stayed the right size. I would also try to keep the images around 50 kb because mine are around 90 and you noticed some lag when it switched between pngs...
As you are exporting your images, make sure to name them their appropriate names (shifted, capitals, lower case, etc.) which makes it easier to rename them after wards.
Third Step
Once you have all of your images done how you want, I would place them all in their own separate folder.
Now, you will need to open the keyboards folder from earlier and match the images you edited to where they go in "keyboards" and rename your files to the appropriate name and delete its' counter part. Meaning make sure only your image is in keyboards with it renamed to what mode your png represents. And make sure the folder contains every png it did before. They all serve a purpose.
After you have removed all the old pngs and replaced with your renamed images, you will need to open Swype.apk back up and go to assets-> and delete the original keyboards folder. After deleting, move your keyboards folder with your images under assets.
Swype is now edited with your keyboards how you want them!!
Fourth Step:
The only thing left is either adb push Swype.apk to system/app or place on sd card and install with astro,ez,etc.
Another way that is very easy and the way I do it. If you are using a theme, open up on your desktop with winrar. Go to folder system/app and place Swype.apk in app folder. Now flash from recovery and your new and improved swype is ready for action.
I have attached what I made mine look like. Some people may not like how basic it looks and how some of the things are not sized or off correctly but I like it and it works!!
I also added a picture of my custom dropdown which I made in Gimp. If you would like to know how to do one like this send me a PM.
And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I may not be the best at explaining things thoroughly !
I have been getting a lot of PM asking how to edit swype ...
Are my instructions to complicated? If so, let me know and I will try to revise them a bit and sorry!
Nah it's cool man. I mean i get it. idk about everyone else. I haven't got around to trying it yet but this lets me know what to expect.
Ok well that is good! Thanks for the reply...
I hope that post didn't come off as rude, if you sent me a PM I more than willing to help everyone! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't bad instructions ...
Dude this is really nice, I like how you changed the letters to diferent font. Nice job! You should make some more!

Thanks man! Like I said since this was my personal one I didn't go all out and it was kind of sloppy but it suits me fine.
I was thinking about it but not sure what people would want! If some people gave me some ideas of what kind of background or font, I would have no problem making it for them.
Now that I know how to do it (with your help) it won't be as painful as before, just time consuming.
I'm not a user of Swype but I certainly commend the effort that you put into this. It came out great.

This is GREAT!! Thank you for putting this together.
Your are welcome! Let me know if you have any questions!
Just so everyone is clear, the Swype.apk attached to post is the original swype, not my customized one . Because that is what you have to edit.
Just so no one gets confused.
Thank you for this help. I've wanted to be able to change the way mine looked but have been stuck trying to find someone else's work that suited. I've just started modifying mine and what I've got looks awful but that's because I need to learn how to utilize the imaging programs better. I'm sure I can get it and thank you again for the starter.

Hey guys, I've looked for this everywhere including the thread itself (for Widgetlocker themes) but cannot find what I'm after.
I am looking for one that is exactly like the stock slider for the SGS2 lockscreen (messaging and dialer). I know there are the Motoblur ones, but they do not quite fit the bill.
If anyone can help me find or someone design one I will be most grateful an possibly a small donation.
Thanks

I see the zip files but not the whl file that generally goes along with locker themes. How exactly did you apply this?
Never mind I am an idiot
I've just bought WidgetLocker Lockscreen and using SMS Unread Count to display any missed calls/sms/emails.
The one thing that annoys me about my nice new lockscreen is pressing on the SMS Unread Count widget has an orange highlight before it opens the application.
Is there any way to remove the annoying orange highlight? It seems to be standard for all widgets to be highlighted in some way when pressed.
Been digging through my framework-res.apk and tried editing focused_application_background_static.png to another colour or transparent but this doesn't seem to be the correct image file.
If anyone knows how I can do this could you please point me in the right direction?
So I was looking in the wrong apk file. I guess this is what happens when you're attempting mods when you should be sleeping.
All it took was a simple edit of some .9.png files in the correct apk and now everything is nicely colour coordinated again.
Can someone explain to me how to do this in detail?
Anyone ?
Been a few months, but I still can't find which files to edit. Anyone know?
can we get this on ICS ROMS mms.apk the unread counter i miss it much

Oh oops I guess I wasn't really paying attention when reading... Anyway, you just need to decompile the widget/app apk and replace the image file that gives the orange glow with a transparent one. You can sort of tell which one it is by looking at the file names.

Yup, I found the apk I need. It's com.kanokgems.smswidget-1.apk. I replaced a couple of images using WinRar, then used Root Explorer and copied it over to it's original location. Then restarted my phone, but it didn't work. The app wouldn't run properly...
You need to decompile it with APKtool or Auto APK Manager, and recompile it that way. Not always necessary, but that's the best way. And the most important part is to re/sign the apk file after you've recompiled it.
(Try installing it; if it tells you "Application not installed" you probably haven't signed it properly, and if you do sign it correctly it should work, otherwise uninstall the app and install your modded one).
Just delete badgeprovider.apk
