I integrated this in my theme,too.

So I need to just copy paste inside the folder using root explorer, because framework-res.apk is shown as a file. I cannot open it as a folder. Any guidance here to help.
Thanks

use rootexplorer to copy your twframework.apk to your phne's sd card.then copy it to your pc and open it using winrar or winzip.then replace the corresponding files in the folder "drawable-hdpi" with the provided ones.then copy the twframework.apk back on your sd card and then to system/app using rootexplorer.
rename your twframework.apk to twframework.apk.bak first to have a backup.

[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.

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 build apps icon pack:
Things you require:
-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-Some icons-Here are my AOSP icons.
-Required apps from the ROM which you want to modify.
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any resizing tool.
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.
-Kindness to press the THANKS button below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps:
1. Download all the things required.
2. Open your ROM and copy all the apps and move them to a seperate folder. Here we will take only 3 apps-Browser, Messaging and Calculator.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Now extract these apps using 7zip or winrar.
4. Now open the app folder, go to res and find the location where the icon of the app is present. These are generally present in mipmap-xhdpi or drawable-xhdpi. For e.g. in Browser app it's present in mipmap-xhdpi named as ic_launcher_browser.png:
5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->app and make a new folder their with named as appname.apk(Here appname refers to the name of the app). For e.g. Browser.apk in my case.
6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->mipmap-xhdpi in my case:
7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. For e.g. ic_launcher_browser.png in my case. And resize it to 96X96. Please do not resize mdpi or hdpi icons or else they will pixelize and blur.
8. Do the same for other apps. In my case calculator and messaging.
9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name. You can practically change almost everything under ui_print in updater-script but remember that it should be in the format ui_print("ABCD"); . Here replace ABCD with whatever you like.
10. Now you will be having 4 folders- data, META-INF, system, vrtheme and an image named as preview. Zip all these and rename it whatever you like and flash it with CWM and you're done! Enjoy your own icon pack Feel free to THANK me :laugh:

:victory: :highfive:
Note-
U can use apk tool but it is hard to use
Thats why i post these method time consuming n very easy [for noobs] lyk me..
U can also use auto apk tool 2.0.4 or higher

VTS(Virtuous Ten Studio) is easiest way to do not only de/recompiling but also accomplishing some more tasks related to android with easep how could I forget?)
Apk Multitool is also good and takes care of your edited files to be be automatically replaced in original apk, reducing the errors drastically

:good:

Guys just use vts its super super easy virtuos ten studio
Its damn too easy it has many features....

[GUIDE] How to add extra option in settings.apk

EXTRA APPLICATION OPTION IN SETTINGS MENU​
This is my first thread, so please ignore my errors.
We have seen custom ROMs having some extra options in settings. This is a guide of adding these options.
This guide is for Galaxy y, but also can work for devices with similar settings.apk (like Ace, duos etc.)
Prerequisites:-
1) A rooted phone (I can't strech how important this is )
2) Backup your orginal settings.apk
3) Basic knowledge of decompiling and recompiling.
Procedure:-
1)Decompile settings.apk and apk of the app you want to put. (I am decompiling Proximity Actions)
2) Go to decompiled app folder and open AndroidManifest.xml. Note Package and Target Class. (Marked with red circle Attachment # 1)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3) Open decompiled folder of settings. Go to /res/values/strings.xml. Open with Notepad++.
Enter code <string name="prxt_ctrl">Proximity Control</string> in the end before /resources>. You can edit red coloured text to anything which you want to appear in settings. You can also give any string name, but remember it.
4) You need an icon to put in settings(You can get it from that decompiled app). Resize it to 24x24 pixels (FOR GALAXY Y ONLY)
5) Put that icon in settings/res/drawable-Idpi with any name(remember it). I have given name ic_settings_prxt
6) Go to settings/res/xml/settings.xml. Open with Notepad++
7) Add code <com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen android:title="@string/prxt_ctrl" settings:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_prxt">
<intent android:targetPackage="novum.inceptum.proximity" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="novum.inceptum.proximity.PA_Activity" />
</com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>
Here string is used from step 3. Use icon from step 4. Package and targetClass from step 2.
8) Save and compile Settings.apk and complete formalities of recompiling.
9) Push Settings.apk to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--.
10) Enjoy
PRESS THANKS IF HELPED. I REALLY NEED IT.

there is a similar thread. plz search before post. mods plz close this thread.

That guide you are talking about by PinapleOwl is different method. It is just how to add extra ACTIVITY with smali editing. Here you dont have to edit smali. Please note the difference before comment. Also this has detailed screenshots for noobs.

No. That guide has different Settings structure. It is for Xperia Arc where menus are classified by category.
In our Galaxy y, we don't have settings_header.xml.
Indeed both guides are similar, but I think a set of simple instructions would be helpful, so I have written this thing.

If you have not edited Manifest of your SETTINGS APP (IMPORTANT), then you don't have to sign that APK. Just open both apks (newly compiled and original) in 7zip 7zip ONLY (Right click on apk ====> 7zip ====> Open archive)
Then drag META-INF of original apk to compiled apk and push to /system/app and change permission to 644 (rw-r--r--)

Same problem

A BIG Thanks for your help
