Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to replace the system icons (phone, contacts, Play Store) in Deviant Wicked v10 with the system icons from Deviant Domination v1 and if it is possible, how would it be done.
Thanks in Advance.
Its very possible.. You can do it by extracting the icon.png from the res folder within the apks you want the icon from, and then use a launcher like nova to replace the icons in the drawer or desktop using the PNG you extracted.. That is the easy way.
If you wanna use the touchwiz launcher, you have to extract the icon.png from the apk you want the icon from, decompile the apk you want to use, replace the icon.png to the one you want (the one you extracted), compile the apk, and then push it to system/app.. I think there's special things you gotta do to get the phone, contacts and play store to compile and launch correctly though, I never messed with them much

Thank you for your help. I Found the play store icon. it's in the Phonesky.apk. extracted it from Domination, replaced it in Wicked but when I tried to copy the apk back to the phone, it gives an error and wont allow the copy.

Did you decompile, replace icons and recompile it?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
I used WinRAR to unzip it, replaced the icon, zipped back then renamed it.

i saw somewhere once on an Epic that the stock Samsung lock screen slider was a red circle and red arrow up with the lock in the middle. I can't seem to find the thread in order to do more research or get what i am looking for.
so does anyone know how i can get my slider icon to be red instead of the greyish black it is now?
Flash a theme, or if you only want the lockscreen then delete all the images except the lock.

The images you are looking for are found in the framework-res.apk file.
Specifically i think you might be looking for /res/drawable-hdpi/
zz_unlock_arrow.png
zz_unlock_arrow_msg.png
maybe even
zz_unlock_lockbg.png

using Root Explorer i can get to /res/....but there is not a folder for drawable-hdpi
anymore thoughts on places to check?
Nope, that's where it is for moi. Weird. Try unzipping the whole folder then look on /sdcard/extracted/ and see if it shows up there.
If not maybe post your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk here and i can take a look.
edit: Maybe mine's different since technically we don't have the stock TW Launcher. We have a slightly modified one on Bonsai.

Apk's are just archives. You can use your favorite archiving application to modify the APK ( i like WinRAR ). All I normally have to do is open the APK with WinRAR and take the modified PNG's (not .9.pngs - these have to be run through eclipse first) and drop em in to the folder you want. Boosh! Done.
I'm seeing the files right where we said they'd be. you still don't have 'em? /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Inside framework-red.apk is a folder called res. Inside that is drawable-hdpi, all the way at the bottom of that.

Its in framework res.apk too look for status bar background. There are two one is a bigger png which is for when you pull it down and that's a dummy file because on the epic its inside twframework-res but the other is a small box and a .9.png so if you don't know how to edit them borrow one from a working theme.

Hey guys i dont no much about theming so i was wondering if someone can pull the blue outline from the honeycomb fusion theme. The one that pops up with every popup on the theme. thats all i need and want or if someone can point me in the rightt direction to get it myself. Thankyou.
The blue outline on popups is part of the images as a hole. Just look in the drawable-hdpi folder of both frameworks

The images you want to copy over are:

You can do either one. I would update the zip that way if you need it in the future you will have it done already.

You should only be copy and pasting these from the Honeycomb frameworks over to the framework your modding. Don't unzip (extract) anything, just OPEN the archive using either WinRAR or 7zip (I use 7zip personally) and just copy/paste.. Extracting and attempting to re zip the frameworks are going to cause trouble.
Ok thanx ill try that when i get ahold of my pc unless i can do it through the phone
I've done some zip work through the Epic using Root Explorer/Astro/ES File Explorer at different stages to get it all to work and its a pain in the butt. You would be much better off just using your PC, take you a whole 5 minutes to pull those pop up pngs mentioned by p3dr0maz and paste them into your framework and flash it/ADB push it.

You probably wont be able to add any, you can change the current ones by editing the apk, signing it then installing it. Once you open up the apk (with 7zip, winrar etc.) look inside the drawable-hdpi folder. Thats probably where the emoticons are kept.
I can help if you need.

Adding icons to whatsapp
Hey Guys has anyone tried adding new icons into the default whatsapp?
Or do the modded versions allow adding additional GIF'S to be added to the instant messenger?
Thanks
yes i have tried it, but it's useless since the recipient of the emoticon should have the "moded" version too, so that he could see the emoticon
Just wanted to add that Ive noticed the Iphone has new icons and I can view them on my phone which dont have those icons :/

I used 'Formatter' to rename (whatsapp) .apk file into .zip did required changes (replaced one .png smiley file) & again renamed it into .apk
But then, I'm not able to install it (even after uninstalling previous version). An error saying 'Application not installed' shows.
How can I modify .apk files (in terms of replacing only the smiley image files) & repack it into proper .apk file so that I'll be able to install it without any error?
Please help me..
thanks

Good idea, but not practical
In order to install an apk, it must be properly signed and with a password that only the developers know. If you own the app though, you will still need to to decompile and recreate the apk structure by turning the directories of the zip into an android structure, since the compiling will change pretty much everything.
Worst part of it all, if you somehow manage to change and install the app, only you will be able to see it since only the apk installed on your phone has those custom emoticons.
Cheers :good:
how do I put emoticons on viber /whatsapp for sell
Just get your friends to use wechat, has all the emos in the world. Whatsapp is crap

Its about 2.4 Mb. change my battery colours (you can see on the attach)
But when i compile again it was 1.7 Mb. Unsigned
I signed Apk and still same 1.7 Mb.
Its my first time to decompile any apk.

Size is not important. Often a compile of something you decompile will come out smaller. This shouldn't be used as an indicator of anything

In that case you have done something wrong
You don't even need to decompile to swap images anyway. Just open the zip (NOT extract) with winrar, 7zip or linux archive manager, delete the images you want and drag the new images (which must have the exact same name - case sensitive) in. If it asks for compression,.choose "store" or "no compression"
You only need to decompile and recompile if you're changing resources and xml files

I can't find anything in the settings for changing the font and rom toolbox does nothing but send my phone into a boot loop... Anyone know how(can explain)?? I have a lot of font apk's from GB I'd like to use.
Go the hard way: fonts are stored under /system/fonts and you just have to replace them all you like with a root-enabled file explorer. If your fonts are in an APK pack, extract with WinRAR/WinZIP and look for .ttf files inside.

Rename to the system names (but there are many font files, do make sure which you want to replace!) and replace them. Don't forget to set permission to rw-r--r--. Then just reboot to see effect. If anything happens just flash the original ROM without wiping anything.

I mean, can't you open the apk's with WinRAR or WinZIP? (if necessary, change the file extension to .zip) Extract and seek .ttf files in it. I can't guarantee you will find it though, as I always directly fetch readily-available ttf files and never used these font APKs. Maybe that's different.

Then you must be doing wrong, or you might haven't set correct permissions after replacing files.
Anyway, I'm free on summer vacation, so you can send me the fonts you want to use (font name or file, both are okay, BUT it has to be a font family with at least bold, italic and bold+italic variants!), and I'll see if I can pack up a flashable zip for you.

Normally I have to base my flashable zip on an already existing one, then I just replace the fonts inside, slightly tweak the update-script, repack, re-sign and all done. Dunno how to go into details...
