Short version.
For PC use win zip or 7zip...
Extract the apk. Decompile it on ur PC or phone (NinjaMorph) find the corresponding Smileys and place in apk.
Zip it up and place in system.
For phone use Nm swap the images and finish project. Lots of videos on YouTube and tons for forums showing you how..

Help skinning dialer

I been lookin into skinnin the dialer in my ROM. I'm wanting to go black but am unable to find all the necessary files I need to edit.
Anyone know all the files needing to be edited?
All the images for the dialer are in Contacts.apk. Careful though, most are the tricky .9.png types. Finally for anything fancy like transparent background for the dialer as a whole, you'll need to decompile and modify xml, I believe.
FYI- Images and functions for in-call screens are in Phone.apk.

i dont have a contacts.apk... just a htccontact which dont contain any dialer images or I'm completely missing something
Sorry I was describing for a vanilla setup. No idea what apk serves up the dialer in Sense.

What rom are you using? I have a custom HtcDialer.apk that I modded to have white text and I have a metamorph to change the images in the resources as well. I'd be happy to share - the dialer is from Virtuous 3.1.
The only thing I haven't figure out is how to change the text when you're in a call. For some reason, when in a call, the dialer text turns back to black. I'm still trying to figure it out. If anyone happens to know what has to be changed to make the text white in a call, PM me!

That thread is very helpful. I haven't ventured into changing the font yet, I just wanted to change the numbers to white and add a new button background which wasn't too bad.

If you were able to get it to work I'd like a black one with white numbers if you could post it.I'm using sky raider by the way.
Attached are the 2 files you requested. They are from the 3.26.605.1 leak, incase specifics are needed. Also, I will be sure to give you the credit when they make it into one of my ROM updates.
Thanks again OSully... most appreciated!!

Just extract the contacts.apk from Nitroz or Sonnys theme and replace yours with it...
To save you doing that, here it is

Worked great on AOKP latest n greatest. Thanks Nitroz!

When I downloaded that file here, it shows up as a green Android picture. It should show the blue icon for Contacts/People ?
I used root explorer and go back to launcher and its empty. Can't find the people icon in app drawer anymore.

Did you restart your phone and then try reinstall the apk?
Just tried again, totally screwed up phone. Now my launcher shows two little green Android robot icons. I press them says no application.

Yep, did all of that. Used root explorer, move .apk to system/app and replace and set the permission stuff, etc...did not work.
But I have done that same thing a million times for other files with zero issues, like Mms...

Worked for me but couldn't get the andy metamorph to work with contacts so I went back
Its a shame someone cannot refine any of the inverted contact apps. They look good until you want to edit or create a new contact. The headers are white on white font and entry fields have black on black cursors.
and if you hit the photo or place holder in MMS the contact info comes up bright with odd font background colors.
Inverted MMS & Contact apps are beautiful things but they still have some clean up to be done.
I hope someone with the skills is listening.

The short answer is yes. In theory you can use any icon on any app. The trick is putting it all together.
You have two options. You can either create a flashable theme our you could manually replace the icon file in the apk you are wanting to change it on.
The first takes time and know-how. The second requires more time and know-how but is probably easier.
But after looking at those icons I might be seeing if I can get permission to use then in a theme I've been playing around with. No promises but if it works out I'll forward it on.
So say if I want to change it in a theme..I just change them out an flash it?

You download the zip then extract with Root Explorer or similar app. Then the show in Gallery. You can generally use them for homescreen icons and such with s launcher that allows you to edit icons. I actually grabbed the same ones a few days ago and I use Nova launcher so I added some with that

I used root explorer to extract it on my sd card now when I look at it all I see is pictures ..I change them thru root explorer ?

Emoji on Touchwiz

I was looking for a way to get Emoji on stock touchwiz roms and have found a way. It works, I didn't flash it I only opened zip and transferred files over manually (same as flash?) however, it is working. I think it made my message app fc sometimes but its very uncommon and it may have nothing to do with this mod. All credit goes to the original dev please give thanks there! Also you can see the emojis throughout the system not just messaging app however, only colorful emoji are shown in messaging app otherwise they are black and white outlines. If anybody knows how to fix this let me know or do it and share.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922104
Also as you can see its for the galaxy s3 i9305 so if any devs can look into and make necessary changes (if needed) to make this a US variant mod, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated. Anyways thanks for reading and hope I helped!
ps. sorry if this is in the wrong section!
would this enable you to see the ones iPhone users use?

Yea my girl has an iphone and she sends me emoji all the time (reason why looked for this mod). The only thing is that the color emoji will only show in the messaging app and they will be black and white crap everywhere else. Including the text box in the keyboard even when using the keyboard in the messaging app.
Dude yes I want emoji!!!!!

follow guide in the link, it works in the messaging app. You will still have to use the emoji keyboard in play store but they will actually show up instead of a blank space.
Emoji is now built into the UVDLJC build, no need to flash any files.
Synergy rom has an emoji keyboard basically its just a keyboard where you can enter tons of emoji's

Is there any way to theme the Messaging app....

Without having to download THIS messaging app? The messaging app in my ROM has direct call and a couple of other goodies that I really like... just the colors are very boring and plain! Any help is very much appreciated, thanks.
The standard way of theming is open the mms. Apk in a zip viewer. Either win rar or 7 zip, then find the area that holds folders named draw able hdpi. Extract ONLY THE ICONS AND IMAGES You want to change. Font extract the whole apk. Then, open the images in photo shop or any editing program, change the colors as you please, save, (DONT CHANGE IMAGE NAME OR TYPE), then drop them back into the apk in the folder you found them and save changes to the zip. Once that's does, go into system/app, rename the end of the name .Bak. So apkname.Apk.bak
Then just copy and paste it into system app and then give it correct permissions if it doesn't already and then reboot

Try using gosms or handcent. I believe they have theming capabilities.
All Battery results are on a 6300mah battery, unless otherwise noted!

I used Handcent since my EVO 3D days but I really like the 4.2.2 Messaging app.... I just hate that I can't theme it. No need for a 3rd party messaging app... I can live with the plain colors, I'd just rather be able to theme it if possible!!
Then if Reapers response is too complicated the answer to your question is then No. There's no other way to do it.

Why wouldn't you just download that app? It makes it a lot easier on you to theme the stuff the way you want. :what:
