I'm a noob, so I do not understand any of it so I asked for help to you on the forum. Just someone to tell me what files to modify or how to implement smileys
Not super familiar with MIUI, but in AOSP they are in Mms.apk in the /res/drawable-xhdpi/ folder. I believe start with emo or something along those lines.

Yes, I know, but in this case the smileys are in framework-res.apk, the problem is that, the application of the messages doesn't associate the text with smiley

If you know where they are, why can't you change them?

because I don't want to change them but I would like that instead of the simple text "" is shown smiley
This is an example taken from another miui rom. It doesn't appear the smiley but only the text
I found the file that handles the coding smiley, now someone with a bit of knowledge in java can edit this file so that I appear when I type the text smileys? I don't care emoji but only the smileys. I attach this file and those of the rom CyanogenMod. Thanks

Hey guys.. im hoping someone out there could help me out with something...
Im wanting to know how to or if I can even do this.. but I want to rename an apk.. so that no matter where you look it shows up as the name I gave it. Is this possible via adb or anyway else?
Swyped by my Snapped CM6 EVO
What would be the point of this aside from renaming someone else's work?
Nobody knowing the app is installed.... that's the only reason..
Swyped by my Snapped CM6 EVO
Ok, why would you need to hide an app from someone else on YOUR phone? Or are you trying to slip something on to someone else's phone?
?? No, my phone... maybe I should move this to the dev section?

Maybe he dont want his wife seeing his porn apps on his phone....check out "better cut" in the market. You can change the icons and stuff but I dont remember about the name, its been a few years since i used it. Also ADW launcher has an option to hide the apps names on the desktop and drawer. Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Sounds like you need a dumber girlfriend..
Launcher pro has an option of hiding apps from app drawer... Never used it but may work for you.

You can rename an apk before you add it to the zip file for the rom you are using. Like i use CM 6.0, and i put all my install apks in the zip system folder before i flash the rom. I name them program_version, and have never had problems. Again you have to do this before flashing the rom though.
pull it off your phone via adb. change the name while you have it on your computer (may have to resign it). delete it on your phone. put it on your sdcard and install it thru astro or whatever you use

That will change the name of the apk but it will not change the name of the app as it appears on the phone whether in /Settings/Manage Applications, the app drawer, etc. etc.
That said, in order to change the name you would have to decompile the app change the name in the xml file and recompile.
Check out apkmanager. There is a thread on it here on xda. It is a script tool that utilizes Brut.all's apktool to decompile and recompile apks so you can edit them. Once decompiled navigate to /res/values/ and open the strings.xml in your xml editor of choice. Look for "app_name" and the value which follows will be the name as it appears on your phone. Change it to what you want, close the xml, use apkmanager to recompile, sign, and install the app, and you are done.
Bear in mind that anytime I have changed the name of an app my only goal was to change the name as it appeared in the app drawer. For example, the SiriusXM app shows up in the app drawer as "Online." I find that to be completely f*ing stupid so, I changed it to SIriusXM. Therefore, I would recommend looking for other places the app shows up on your phone to make sure they are changed as well.

Thank you very very much...
I'm new to Android, coming from my FrankenPre2 after giving up hope on webOS and HP. Picking up the Epic Touch has been great, besides the LOS and battery issues. I was pretty deep into modding the Pre, so I'm looking to do the same here.
My first thought was to try to modify the images on the Epic, but I am lost as to where to find the correct files to modify. I was able to change the icon for the messaging app and the Incoming/Outgoing phone call animation, but that's pretty much it. I don't know where to start with the phone app, since images seem to be spread out all over the place. Opening up the phone apk yeilds a ton of images, and I don't know which ones to change.
My question would be to any themers out there, or anyone familiar enough with Android. How do I know which images I need to edit? Is there a directory or a file list which gives corresponding locations to specific images, such as the "1" button or the "Call" button, or the launcher icons? Or is it more a process of trial and error? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Can you post screenshots of the things you want to change

Pretty much everything. My first shot will be at the stock icons on the launcher. The I'd like to start on themes for the phone, email, and messaging apps. Pecifically, on the phone I'd like to change much of the color scheme, since the stock colors are in my opinion pretty ugly. But I also want to change the dial pad numbers and other standard buttons.
I was directed to this thread by another Android user:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638
Looking into it, the framework-res.apk does have a lot of images that are familiar, but there are a lot of images that aren't there. I think I'll have to start learning about the names of the file locations, and going by trial and error. It would be awesome if there was a simple blueprint as to where the images you want to change are, but ah well. I've got a lot of learning to do. Thanks for the response, and if you have any other suggestions, let me know.
Check out SystemUI.apk
This is the pulldown icons and such
Found under system\app\
I think the dialer is contacts.apk

Thank you! I would never have looked in the contacts for the dialer icons. There doesn't seem to be a perfect logic as to which apk's hold the images, so I guess it's going to be a lot of trial and error here. If you know of any more locations, let me know. Thanks!
you need to modify the images in the following that I know of to get a pretty standard theme
Framework-res
touchwiz framework-res
contacts.apk
systemui.apk

Which file do you change in CM/AOPK? I can trace the file in LSJ.
Sorry, it's me again with another question.
Is there any possibility to change the text colour in System? I mean in preferences Menu. I've used the search function here of course but couldn't fina a link that fits for my Arc S.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings
Most things can be changed, you just need to figure out which xml needs editing such as the colors.xml.

Click the second link in my sig and have a read, you need to decompile the apk first then you can edit your xmls. Or use "Virtuous Ten Studio", makes finding colours a lot easier as the colour is displayed under the hex colour code.
