Yes, by renaming the app through the Manifest.xml

Decompile with Apktool
Navigate to:
Code:
.apk/AndroidManifest.xml
Open with Notepad++
Look for:
Code:
package="com.android. ---- "
And just add a letter to the end and recompile

Nope

I forgot to mention that after you recompile you need to resign the apk with " sign apk"

This is the guide i normally send when im asked this question:
First of all, get your framework-res.apk and twframework ,(they're located in system/framework). If you are on gingerbread you also need systemui.apk (in system/app)
Then, download 7zip in case you dont have it.
Right click on framework-res.apk and with 7zip click to extract to /framework-res
You will now have a new folder.
Open it, then open /res and then /drawable-hdpi (framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi)
There are most pngs you'll need to theme.
Edit them and when you've finished editing them, open framework-res.apk with 7zip, delete the res folder, and drag the res from framework-res folder onto it. (Make sure it has copied correctly)
You should now have a framework-res with a new theme
do this also for the other two apks.
There are too many pngs to tell you the function of each, but you can pm me about some
To copy it onto your phone, you can use root explorer or a cwm installable zip.
For cwm, you'll need an updater-script and update-binary or update-script. If you want, i'll make you one.
Damn thanks for your great reply, im gonna read this!
Thanks for the reply I will post my theme next week!
Cheers,
Applefaq
how can I modified the update-binary?
Thanks for the info on gingerbread theming. Is it also safe to swap one 2.33 framework for another while on your cell?
Or is this strictly pc based? I'd like to try exact one already made and replace mine.. Or is that gonna bootloop

Dont unzip. Use apkManager to decompile. This way you will decompile the 9patch png's too.
When compiling remember to say its a system file and delete the modified files from the keep folder.
And convert the 8 bit pngs to rgb 32 bit before editing. Then convert them back to 8bit before recompiling. Or find an editor that supports 8bit. But Adobe Photoshop does not!

If the OP needs any help im glad to give it.
But one question for you other theme gurus:
When decompiling with dependencies do you use twframework or systemui? I always use tw but with gingerbread im getting some wierd errors.
Cheers

Decompile twframeworkres.apk and change "twcolor3" in res/values/color.xml(should be close enough).
Frameworkres.apk res/color/zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml

I dont understand the question. You decompile with the files it depends on. That's all. SystemUI.apk needs framework-res.apk for example.

I mean that when you decompile frameworkres did you select either.twframeworkres or systemui for the dependancy.

No. framework-res.apk does not depend on any file.

If you only want to change image files then just decompile the apk file and forget about the odex file.

You can make a cwm flash but that will require a reboot.

Easiest way for me is to download the rom to your computer and open it up (I use 7zip to do this) then go in to the system apps and delete which ever one you want. You can also use root explorer from the play store to delete system apps.

Just use root explorer from the market then. You have to pay for it but it is well worth the money.

I said because most PA features come from CM. I thought CM10 also had it.

3: find build.prop
4: all the way on top add: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
5: reboot device
6: .......
7: profit? (unless it doesnt work anymore)
edit: just tested it, it still works

Use build.prop editor ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor)
Save it as a property with value=0
Will work
