I tried replacing Repencis' Dialer and Phone apk with Creeds' but it would'nt get installed. I hate the 2 round buttons when I get a call. The sliders from Creeds' are better, IMO. How do I replace them with Creed's? I've tried manually pushing them into /system/app and set the permissions right, and also tried ApkReplacer. Didn't work. Help! ^ ^

Those are only 2 apks I need to replace to get the dialer and the screen with the sliding buttons when I get a call right? So I push them to /system/app, boot into CWM and wipe Dalvik cache. Is that it?
theoritically yes. except if the apks from creed are signed with different framework.

@raolemo: if you can locate the dalvik cache for those files you don't have to wipe your dalvik-cache.

Yes I do. The dex files. Tried deleting the 2 apk's dalvik cache and replaced them. It ain't working. -_- Damn, this is hard. :/
I've checked it...it seem's that pratyush have signed most of apk's in his rom with his own framewok. make it imposible to use them on other rom.

I tried using dialer from one of Creed's themes. That didn't work either. So there's ABSOLUTELY no way I can change the call screen and dialer? Hate this! :/
I think he purposively made them exclusive for creed's rom. we can install them but we have to replace framework-res.apk with the one in creed's. we also have to change a lot of system's apk with the one in creed's. it will be almost like installing creed's rom in our device. too many apk have to be replaced.

I'm just on Repencis mainly for Kill3D's theme and A2SD. Well, I guess thats a little something I gotta pay for being on Repencis. I'd somehow manage with the dialer but the call screen is just HORRIBLE. Can't you un-sign it? Jeez I'm being so desperate. xD
even if I do that, I can't upload the apk due to my slow internet connection. you may try to use apktool or apk manager to decompile the apk then recompile them using repencis's framework. I'm not really sure if this will works. recompile apk with different framework doesn't always work. especially when the apk have been modified a lot.

Is there a way to get this onto the Epic. I love the look of the all black dialer. Its sooo sexy but I cant find it anywhere. Is this possible?
If you want it that badly flash the gingerbread theme, otherwise no, the dialer . apk is too deep in the framework to change other than skins.
Yea...I've tried two themes and I cant get them to work at all for me. I flash them in Clockwork after doing the wipes indicated (cache 3x's, dalvic 3x's) and I even throw in a hard reset but when booting the phone back up I get a million fc's and then bootloops. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm on a deodexed EB13 ROM with the Genocide OC'd kernal and the Vanilla lockscreen if any of that makes a difference.
The themes by Mysteryemotionz have the dialer your looking for. For those fc's I would just relash the theme. You are using themes specifically made for EB13, correct?

Personally, this is what I'd try (we're on a tangent!)
Open up a (compatible) theme you want to flash, with 7zip. Open the system/app folder, and delete all of the apks .. you can keep the folder.
delete any apps in /data/app , if there are any apks in there.
You should basically be left with the META-INF folder (don't touch that)
and the /system/framework/* stuff
So all you will be flashing is the contents of /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk
If this flashes, then it means you had some kind of problem with one of the 'themed' apps included in the theme. The basic themed UI elements are mostly contained in the framework and twframework apks anyway. But that's what I'd try first.
i love the stock dialer, it is so super cool. i dont get why you want to change.

I'll try this. All I really care about is the dialer. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
yeah.. i tried putting that dialer in, kept crashing.
Best bet is just a full blow out gingerbread mod.
Didn't work for me. None of the themes are working in my favor. Darn it.
I've tried wiping everything then reflashing with no luck. All the themes are said to work with EB13 as well.
Damnit. Guess I won't be getting it lol

Ya, if u really want to get to the bottom of it, i would try flashing the theme on top of the clean rom, without any of your data. If it works, then you know that something in your 'data' is causing your probs.
At that point, you could explore alternatives like restoring from a titanium or mybackup backup.

Just started running bonsai on my epic 4g. I came over from tmobile (vibrant, Teamwhiskey) I've seen some screenies of people running bonsai with Stock/AOSP Mms. I've done some searching but can't find anything. help?
thanks guys
Just replace the Mms.apk with the AOSP mms.apk.

Thanks for the link, but that one says its the text-about-voicemail mms.apk, is there any way to avoid that? I'm probably splitting hairs here but just curious, lol.
Also, i'm at work (no adb) I couldn't just fire up the apk on my phone, i'd actually have to push it through, right?
The text about vm is not avoidable. I think someone said you can block the 9016:// messages through sprint maybe? im not sure exactly. I use to care at first then i realized I don't really get many VM's. And if you're at work you can just move it into the /system/app folder. You dont have to use adb push. That's just another option.

I tried moving it into the system/app folder and it just gave me a parsing error, can't get it to receive texts. I put the old Mms.apk back in the apps folder and it threw the same error.
*edit*
I re-zip-flashed bonsai and it seemed to repair my texting ability. I tried the process again (replacing Mms.apk), then went into CW Recovery and wiped dalvik, booted and it still is on the samsung themed bubble Mms.apk. For sh*ts and giggles i tried tap-installing the Mms.apk and it wouldn't install, just as i figured. Suggestions?
Yeah tap-installing those system apps doesnt ever work. That's weird that you replaced the file, rebooted, and you were still on the old one. Although, technically there shouldnt be any need to reboot. I've switched out /system/app/Mms.apk and other apks without rebooting before. I do this all the time when theming. /boggle. Sorry, i'm not sure what more suggestions I can make. If you want I can try making it a flashable zip and maybe you can try that?

Take a generic working CWM zip that replaces /system/ files. Delete all the crap out of it [dont delete Meta-Inf folder] with winzip, winrar, or 7zip. Drop in /system/app/Mms.apk . Most important thing is to maintain the file structure. As it will use it to push the Mms.apk onto the phone. Thats how i always do it.

I'm on Juggs 5.0 and I tried pushing a themed version of the Samsung keyboard app (AxT9IME.apk) into my phone but it would not install. I tried pushing the stock one back but it would not install either. The apk file is present in my system/app folder but it just doesn't run or shows up on application settings or TB. I had a backup on TB but when I tried to restore the app TB just freezes as is restoring the app. WTF! I've tried using a apk manager to install it and nothing. I've tried wiping cache, dalvik, and fixing permissions then rebooting and nothing.Running out of ideas on what to do. Help please cuz that's hands down the best keyboard IMHO. Thx ahead.

Change the current keyboard to something like keyboard.apko
Then push the new one using rootexp change the permission to rw-r-r then reboot. It should install automatically if not press install then reboot the phone.

The apks I used to try to reinstall the Samsung keyboard were from the Juggs Rom itself and from two other themes made for Juggs 5.0 (Kobalt and Bad Blue) so yeah they should of worked but all three fail to install.

K...Im not sure what you mean...when you view the Samsung keyboard app via a app manager lets say thru Titanium Backup it is labeled Samsung Keypad 2.3.5 but the actual apk file is labeled AxT9IME.apk just like the Android keyboard app's apk file is labeled latinIME.apk...There is no Samsungkeypad.apk.
The apk file IS present in my System/App folder but its not installed nor it installs when I try to do it. I know I done did something cuz I had it working and then one day when I wanted to type something I noticed the Android keyboard was showing and when I try to edit the input method the Samsung keypad was missing. I don't know WTF I did.
Hello XDA,
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change the status bar notification icon for a new sms from the standard Samsung closed envelope icon to the stock AOSP ICS square smiley face with the little tail. I have already got the icon and it is the correct size and file type (.png) and name (stat_notify_message.png) and I have tried a few ways of adding it into Mms.apk such as simply using 7Zip and decompiling & recompiling numerous times but the end result is always that the Messaging app is being removed completely and I'm having to restore a nandroid backup to get it back.
I have been looking all over XDA and have used trusty old Google to find solutions to my problem. Both come up with lots of different ways to theme, but none that solve my problem (as far as I can see anyway). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the guide on how to do it/explain to me how to do it successfully?
I am on a stock odexed XWLPG rom which is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If I remember correctly, its in SystemUI.apk

What I have done in the past is put the mms.apk on your pc. Use 7zip to OPEN ARCHIVE (NOT EXTRACT), then put the NEW .png file with the correct name on your pc. Now without unzipping the mms.apk just use 7zip to find the location of the file you want to replace. Now just hold down on the new .png file and drag it into the corrext location. Then 7zip will ask if you are sure you want to replace it. Hit ok or yes or whatever it says. Now move the mms.apk back onto your phone. Use root explorer and move it to /system. Then long press on it and choose permissions. Change it to rw,r,r. Then long press again and select MOVE. Then navigate to /system/app and paste. Reboot phone. It will work.
For some .apk they are picky like mms.apk dont like being extracted and zipped back up for some reason while others have NO issues when you extract them and rezip and rename then place them in.

Thank you so much RockRatt, you have solved my problem. Words cannot express my relief, thanks & gratitude for your sound advice. I had tried what you said to do previously, but never with the permission changes. Is that something that needs to be done for every apk or just some? Thanks once again, I am so happy! What an easy was to change the icon. It looks great. See screenshots.
So anyone out there in XDA land that is looking for a quick, easy mod (provided you're rooted) then simply follow RockRatt's easy to follow guide and you will never go wrong. And give him a thanks if his guide helped you in any way!!

You can clear the cache & dalvik-cache either before or after flashing the battery mod. I'd probably try it before and see how you go.
You know how to clear the dalvik-cache, yes??
I think the problem with the VK battery files is they are from a pre jkay release. Now the Rom is using jkay framework I don't think you can flash them. It could be possible to swap the icons like the OP did though using 7zip?

For example, if you were to uninstall say the android keyboard that comes bundled with a rom, then you were to extract the apk, and try and just install it, it won't work. The only way i know of getting it to install is to put it into system/app and reboot. So i'm asking if there is a way to edit system apk's so that you can install them regularly.

Never mind I figure it out. I just had to merge the resources file from the new app into the original then resign the original
