1. Use apktool to decompile apk
2. Use _any_ text-editor (I prefer notepad++) to modify xml files
3. Build apk. Don't sign if it is a system app.
4. adb push apk to /system/app/ (system app) and test it.

This is standart Phone.apk from CM7 ROM just slightly modified. So any other dialers and functions should work like before. Anyway I don't use QuickDial, so I cannot answer for sure.

Zip isnt compatible with new clockworkmod recovery...
So i copied over using root explorer... FC loop and a reboot later, it looks like an old dialer, nothing like the screenshot
Running evo cm7.021 here, but i figure cm7 is cm7, so whats the deal?

Couldnt edit attachments into last post, heres what it looks like, using system theme.... nothing like cm7 stock

Turn on In-touch UI in Settings-phone
FCs might be if you have rom with another aosp different from 2.3.3
Pm your phone.apk and I'll mod it

U can change phone apk from Floyo 120 Rom
Rom is very popular and one of the best roms...

Good idea! I'll make moded versions for all popular roms: Vanilla, Floyo and Speedmachine. If someone could help me with testing please pm me your current rom. I'll send you moded Phone.apk for testing purposes.)
P.S. I just don't get it why my update.zip doesn't work with clockwork ((

Tell me your clockworkmod recovery version?

I'm using AmonRA 1.7.0.1 recovery. Maybe u can give me a brief tutor of how to make proper update.zip? I was following this one: http_://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/
update: one thing I missed is that filesystem might be in RO mount. Than throws an error similar

[APP] Mms.apk with different colors

Hi all,
I thought I'd share my modded Mms.apk with you. This was pulled from Calk's latest ROM. It should, however, work with any EL29 ROM. The only modifications are colors of the message bubbles, pulled from this MMS app. I tried using the app, but I was getting file compression errors when sending images, so I just modded the original Mms.apk slightly.
AS ALWAYS - YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Install via adb (Windows):
1. Connect your phone to PC
2. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
3. open command prompt in the same folder as Android SDK or make sure you have PATH specified to it; place Mms.apk in the same folder
4. Type adb start-server at command prompt
5. Type adb remount
6. Type adb push Mms.apk /system/app
7. Type adb reboot
Once your phone reboots, you will have the new MMS.apk fully functional. You may have to re-add the Messaging link to the bottom bar.
If you have ROOT EXPLORER, you can simply copy Mms.apk into your /system/app folder replacing the original file. Back it up first, though, if you want to revert back to it.
Enjoy.

Cant you just drop it on your SD card then navigate your phone using ES file explorer or root explorer and copy and paste it into the system/app folder replacing the one thats in there, then reboot to get it to work?
If I am incorrect please let me know before I make a fatal error.... lol

I can't speak for THIS apk, however I just took a mms.apk from another rom, did exactly as you described but also changed the permissions, and it works fine. Why don't you make a back up and give it a go.

You can certainly install it using ROOT explorer. Works either way.

If I want to change the colors for the conversation list would the images be in the hdpi folder and the lines and stuff in the xml?
Sent from my Epic™ 4G Touch

Anybody got a pic of the conversation list?

looks good , its just what i was looking for

Honestly, I have no idea. This was a simple PNG swap from another Mms.apk.

Anyone figure out how to mod the mms.apk so that i allows higher/larger file sizes for pics?? Iv tried but keep getting FC's once i push my version to the phone....

I would also like to have this for Calks ICS ROM. Any chance one could modify that for us?

This is funny I made one just like this a long time ago. It came from sensation rom if I remember correctly. Looks good.

Bump...
or anyone know of one that could just replace the mms.apk and still work.

I'd like to be able to do this with MIUI's MMS application and their phone app. I tried on THE GOODNESS ICS but the app just force closes. Anybody know a way to do this?

still trying to figure out how to change the colors .. i want blue and green
anyone know how?

You can get your own colors. For that you have to edit the message_bubble_xxx_.9.png files located in the res/drawable-hdpi directory inside the Mms.apk. These .9.png files are system-resizable PNGs that have to be edited with a special tool, like Draw9patch. If you google "how to edit .9.png files" you will find all sorts of tutorials and explanations.
Good luck.

How to recompile file into flashable zip?

I noticed gapps is rather large (for my taste); being around 190mb, it's twice the size of my rom. So I had an idea, since I only use about 3 or 4 of the Google apps (play store, Gmail, aosp messaging, and probably one more), why don't I just decompress it, remove the bloat, then recompress it into a zip file. Problem is, I get an error when I flash it. I know there's probably something obvious I'm missing, but I wasn't able to find anything on xda to remedy this problem.
So for those of you who don't want to read that or missed the question, can I streamline gapps? (decompress, debloat, recompress)

After rezipping did you sign it, I do believe you need to do that. Zipsigner in the playstore should work.

Awesome, thanks!

You should be able to use the "open archive" functionality in your zip tool (like 7-zip). Install 7-zip. once installed, right click on the gapps zip file you are wanting to reduce in size... Select 7-Zip >>> Open archive. Then select folder which has the file you want to remove (Gapps are in /system/app folder). Then select the Google apps you want to remove (highlight, then select red X for delete). If will ask for confirmation, respond "yes". After you have deleted what you don't want, hit "File >>> Exit". This will retain all the original zip file signature properties. Do NOT extract files... use the Open Archive functionality.
I do this all the time on ROMs when I want to trim programs I don't plan on using before I flash zip. Takes up less space.

Great! Turns out signing wasn't it but I'll take that approach and posts my results

Bingo! Got it down to 51mb lol

One more question, is there a way to do this on your phone? It'd make this process even easier. I'm using ROM toolbox right now and as far as I know, you can only browse, not delete or modify the contents.

I use SpeedSoftware on my phone to extract apks (like inverted apps) from other device installable ROM zips. But you have to "extract" the files... then you can "re-zip" the file after you remove/add files; however, I cannot say for certain if the signature integrity remains (i.e., by re-zipping, not sure if you'll retain the valid signatures). The Open Archive functionality does not require "extraction" and "rezipping"... that's why I like it. Hopefully someone else will chime in regarding android programs which have the Windows like "open archive" functions.

[Q] [HiSuite] What is backup file format?

Hi all,
I use original Huawei HiSuite software on my PC to backup my mobile phone (P6). HiSuite generates a backup ZIP file.
I tried to open this file, but I doesn't seem a normal ZIP file. It's a mess!
The only file that I could find is a index.xml and a note db.
How can I extract contacts and sms from this mysterious ZIP file?

Why do you use HiSuite backup option ? Use Titanium Backup or sync you contacts with google.

I don't need the backup for backup purpose. I can't root the device, but I was wandering if I can recover some deleted sms from the sqlite db. I don't know how the original HiSuite makes a backup.
I tried to open the zip and trying to discover if it just copies the sms and contact dbs, but that zip is not ZIP compliant.
If you open it, you find inside another file with the same name of the archive... and if you change the ZIP file name, the file inside it change automatically the name!!!
Inside this second file/folder (???) there are just two files containing quite nothing... :silly:
