Changing Text Message Icon - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

I am running Alien Rom #4, and I am trying to change the Text Message icon from the smiley face to the the Icon from the Droid 3 system dump. I was able to change the Browser icon just fine, but the text message icon is alot trickier. I can't find the proper apk file to edit.

You can change icons with adw or go launcher. I use adw ex because it supports icon packages and allows you to resize your icons.

I am using the stock launcher, so I need to find a way to change the icon in the apk file.

should be Messaging.apk

That is the three I have been tinkering with. When I go into system/app on my phone the apk with the smiley icon is Conversations.apk. I have copies of both on my pc and I can't find the icon in the drawable-hdpi folder or anywhere else in the apk. That is where i am stumped is finding the icon. Thanks for your input.

try looking in SystemUI.apk and framework-res in the drawable-hdpi folder

Solved!
Alright I finally found where the icon was hidden. It was in system/framework inside the blur-res.apk. I swapped out the icons and rebooted, now I have the droid 3 text messaging icon instead of the smiley face.

I changed the app launcher icon and dock background inside of blurhome.apk as well.

How u swapped icons?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I used ES file explorer and did the following.
-Copied Blur-Res.apk
-Put it on my PC and added .zip to the end of it
-went into res folder then into drawable hdpi
-find the smiley face icon
-named the droid 3 icon the same as the smiley face icon
-replace the icon after renaming it
-put the blur-res.apk on my phone sd card
-remove the .zip so it is an apk file again
-copy and paste new blur-res.apk into system>app file on your phone.
-reboot
Beware this will erase some of your data, almost like a factory reset. so back up bofore you try.

Did u add .zip or replace .apk with .zip?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Added .zip. also remember to remove the .zip on your phone after your finished changing things.

Where do you find the blur-res.apk

Its in system > app folder. You can really mess up your phone digging around in the system folder so be careful. Make back ups!

Here is a dropbox link to the modified blur-res.apk that I used on my phone. Use at your own risk. Just remove the .zip

Tapped from my Galaxy S II.

What picture did you use to edit the dock to be dark?

I can't remember where, so her is the modded file from my phone. Its the blur home apk. Just do the same as the blur-res.apk from before. Remove the. Zip and put in system> app.

On ur pc, u can unzip the rom with 7z
Then u can open packages of apk files with 7z again,
About apk files, after editting u have to add the unpacked structure to a zip file, then change the name of new file from example.zip to example.apk and........

Changing battery Icon on Froyo?

Ok has anyone managed to (successfully) change their battery icon on 2.2.1. I've tried various times but it always ends in boot loops or no battery indicator at all. They've mostly come from the UOT Kitchen, but I've no idea how to properly 'install' them as such.
Any ideas?
There is an app for sgs to change battery icon. Maybe that app can help you.

sgs is hdpi it wont work
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
it will end up in your user folder, mine is Mark
get that apk and extract it using 7zip or other program
look in the folder drawable-mdpi folder and you will see towards the end a bunch of battery icons representing the amount of charge.
replace those files with those from another theme or rom.
once done then create a folder called res and put all extracted folders in there.
then put the res folder in a new folder called framework-res.
place framework-res (and this xml file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18706196/BattIcon.xml) in a zip called BattIcon
on your phone go to market and get metamorph.
copy the zip made earlier onto your sd card in a folder called AndroidThemes.
open metamorph and select unzip theme, unzip the file you added
then click select theme and choose the folder and tap the xml inside.
a popup will come just click ok then click apply all another popup will come just hit ok
it will apply and may ask to restart or it may do itself.
voila icon changed

Thanks, I'll give it a try once I get to a computer, just one question, the stock battery icon goes down in 10%, would it make a difference if I then added a battery icon that moves in 1%?

Well it would probably make the battery icon flash when on screen. But what you can do is, say the battery icon is meant for 1% accuracy then you can use the more accurate icons and place them on the 10% blocks so you can see where your battery is more clearly. Does that make sense?

[Q] VoiceMail Removal

i have the Voicemail Icon on my Status bar ALL the time.
NO it's not a service provider issue. Nor anything else. it's just something i have to live with it (i live in Iraq,and trust me these things are normal here)
WHAT I NEED IS: is it possible to REMOVE the icon from the system so i can't see it on the status bar anymore????
If your rooted you could find the png file in framework-res.apk or systemUI.apk and replace it with a transparent image other than that i cant help sorry.
Yes Rooted. and Yes i want to use this method (either delete or make it fully transparent)
BUT: where can i find those? directory ???

What rom are you on?
Custom or stock?
Take a screen shot with the icon ill see if can change it for you.
i use CriskeloRom V18 with Blue theme
and as you can see from the screen shot the voicemail is ALWAYS there.

BTW, Thanks for your concern and kind help.
I have found the file its stat_notify_voicemail.png in framework-res.apk.
Can you copy your framework-res.apk from system/framework with a root file manager and upload it and ill replace the image for you.
If your not sure how to do this let me know and ill try to explain.
Ive modded the file to be transparent just needs injecting into your framwork
can you teach me how to replace the PNG inside the APK? so i can do it myself in the future.
Thanks again ( A LOT )
update:
the Framework-res.apk is over 10mb big and won't load (unless i zip it and send it in 2 parts) ... it'll be great if you tell me how to replace the png.
Sure i can we like a user who likes to learn
first you need winrar http://www.rarlab.com/
1. using a root file manager (this is a good free one http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=30417) copy your framewor-res.apk from system/framework to your internal or external SD Card
2. Copy it off the SD to your pc.
3. open the framework-res.apk on your pc with winrar
4. Navigate to drawable-hdpi
5. drag the modified stat_notify_voicemail.png i attached into drawable-hdpi leave all the options as they are and press ok.
4. copy the framework-res.apk bk to system/framework *you might get a force close or random reboot (dont worry its normal)
5. when phone has rebooted navigate to system/framework and change the permissions to as per my pic.
6.reboot
7.???
8. Profit
Hope that made sense!
Never will the voice mail icon annoy you again
My upload didnt work properly ive rar'd it up hopefully will work better this time
no matter what i do or use it won't let me edit (over write - replace - rename) the framework-res.apk file.
i replaced the png but can't replace the whole apk
PS: is there a way to permanently stop the Voice mail. (like uninstall the functionality from the phone)
You need to set your file system to writable, try this.
1. Download es file explorer from the market
2. In options tick root explorer
3. Tick mount file system as writable
4. Copy the file using es explorer
-possible reboot
5. go bk to system/framework in es explorer
6. long press the file - properties and change permissions to match my pic
6. reboot
hopefully that should sort it and you still get voicemail
ps. this shouldn't need saying but im gonna say it anyways, make sure you have a CWM recovery backup first just incase something goes wrong and you can restore

[GUIDE][ICS]Use PNG Images as Notification Background for Stock / Stock Based ROM

Now here's tutorial on how to put any PNG image as notification pulldown background..
Here I'm using lidroid's modified SystemUI, should work on other stock based SystemUI
First you need to decompile your SystemUI.apk
Open res/values/drawable.xml with any good xml editor (here I'm using NP++)
Delete this line:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_tracking_bg">#xxxxxxxx</item>
the #xxxxxxxx value maybe vary in each ROM, just delete the whole line )
Save
Prepare your desired .png file, can be opaque or transparent, and can be in any size/dimension (the system will resize it to match the screen)
Rename it to notification_tracking_bg.png and put it in res/drawable-hdpi
Recompile your SystemUI.apk, push to your phone and you are.......
Done !!
The result will be looked like these :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

You need to make sure the new apk is signed. Easiest way of doing this is copy the META-INF folder from the original into the new one.
Android won't run unsigned apps, you see.

Theming the android navigation bar

Hello,
I'm trying to theme the build in android navigation bar.
I am running standard samsung ROM.
I have made the navbar visible by adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the build.prop.
This with the reason so i can click the buttons with the S-pen. And i can also navigate when using a mouse and keyboard.
The graphics are located in framework-res.apk
I have coppied it to my pc, changed the .png files, put them back in the system/framework and changing permissions back. After a cache wipe i still see the old graphics.
Maybe the graphic files are located somewere else? anybody knows the answer?

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My goal is to remove this blue line above the navbar and i want the icons to be white instead of grey.
I also found some of the icons graphics in the SystemUI.apk but not the background with the blue line, this one was located in framework-res.apk..
There is also a twframework-res file in the /system/framework folder. But this one does not contain the navigation bar graphics.
Maybe someone can help me further.
After changing files in the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. Do you have to wipe the cache or is a normal reboot enough to see the changes?
Maybe there is a log tool that can exactly see which processes the phone is running?? Like loading these graphic files etc.
if u are using odex rom, rename the .odex file to whatever extension first, u have the risk to boot loop, if so, adb and rename back the file to .odex
if u are using deodex rom, make sure u are modding the correct image file

From my Galaxy Nexus modding times, the Recent/Home/Back image files are in
"system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi"
I've had a look at my own Note 2 SystemUI.apk and it appears it's the same file layout.
The navigation bar files are:
ic_sysbar_back.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime.png
ic_sysbar_back_land.png
ic_sysbar_highlight.png
ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png
ic_sysbar_home.png
ic_sysbar_home_land.png
ic_sysbar_menu.png
ic_sysbar_menu_land.png
ic_sysbar_recent.png
ic_sysbar_recent_land.png
All i ever did to mod these files on my Galaxy Nexus was:
copy SystemUI.apk to PC
rename to .zip
extract zip contents
edit image files
re-zip all files
rename to SystemUI.apk
I assume it's the same process for the Note 2.
EDIT: Forgot about odex/deodex issue. Post above may be the fix.
Also, if i remember correctly, the framework-res file needs de-compiling/re-compiling to be edited, thus the reason why i only ever edited my SystemUI.apk file.
ic_sysbar_back.png
ic_sysbar_back_ime.png
ic_sysbar_back_land.png
ic_sysbar_highlight.png
ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png
ic_sysbar_home.png

Those icons are not used on the Note II. Because in that folder all the icons are white but on the Note II the normal state of the icons is grey and when pressed they become white (this is the case with the graphics in the framework-res.apk file).
Also the background with the blue line is not located in the SystemUI.apk but it is located in the framework-res.apk file.
But the weird thing is after editting these graphics they don't change on the phone. Like it has cached the files..
These are the graphics located in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
I have allready swapped the normal <-> pressed text so the normal state should be a white icon. I have also removed the blue line from the tw_navigationbar_bg.png.... But i just can't see them on my phone after copying the new framework-res.apk to my phone..

Ah, ok, fair enough. There goes my limited experience from modding my GNex lol.
This is an awesome mod, any progress? Thanks!
Is there any ways to custom the height of the navigation bar??
The bar is very big for me. Thank you.
Absolutely hating the capacitive buttons on this, it's a massive device, why Samsung left the button that sensitive, i don't know, when you type or hold the device with both hands at the bottom, you end up pressing them with your palm, so to say, you have to always hold the device at the top. Hope you work this out and shut the capacitive buttons.
A way to enable on screen nav bar to open when s pen is taken out would be awesome!
The navbar tweaks and everythink were terrible with the Touchwiz Samsung ROM.
I've moved on to the PACman ROM. Tweaking the navbar to the maximum!
But i think i've found the answer to the buttons not being white but a little bit greyish.. The .png is white but some .xml file says that the buttons should be a little bit transparant. So they turn grey..
What file/image controls the background color of the navigation bar?
Download an app called softkeyz it has awesome themes for navbar.

[Req] Android-based emoji pack

With my previous HTC Inspire, certain items (like and were auto updated to neato little green Android guy emoji's).
Looks like stock we have rather large emojis similar to the smilies shown here on xda (from a pc web browser).
Anyway we could get a swap for a cool pack of emoji's (preferable the Android guy)?
FWIW, I found a link online with some supposedly stock JB emoji's which I guess HTC isn't using:
http://phandroid.com/2012/08/30/tips-tricks-heres-a-quick-list-of-a-few-jelly-bean-emojis/
If it helps the devs, I was told that these are stored here:
framework-res.apk (I can't confirm or deny if this is true though)
They are in the framework. You can swap them yourself, just use 7zip to open the .apk. dont extract it. Make sure the smilies are named the same as the HTC ones. And just drag and drop them. You should find them in the drawable HDPI folder.

Sorry for sounding base, where can I find the 'drawable HDPI folder'? I have ES file explorer on my phone (figure I'll use this to find the file and transfer it to my pc to make the swap).
**Nevermind, found it in /system/framework/framework-rs.apk
No, you have to copy the framework-res.apk to your computer and use 7zip. Just right click on the .apk and choose open with 7zip, you can then edit images in the framework but not .xml files as that would require decompiling.

I then used 7zip to 'create archive' and called it framework-res.apk (as opposed to the .zip it tried to give). I then copied this file to a folder on my sdcard, and transferred it to the device.
I went back into es file explorer, went into system, and renamed framework-res.apk to framework-res_old.apk and then the **** hit the fan. All my apps started closing on me.
I booted into recovery (TWRP) went into advanced, and used file renamer. I moved my modified framework-res.apk file to the system/framework directory, but after a reboot, it just got stuck at the htc one boot screen (never loaded).
I went back into recovery, and gave up. I just renamed framework-res_old.apk back to framework-res.apk and rebooted to system. Now its back to how it was.
I figure there must be a smarter way to swap the file out.
If you open with 7zip, you'll see the files here:
path_here..\framework-res.apk\framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi\emo_ (everything with emo_ was swapped and not renamed)
Well, I swapped out the files in:
res\drawable-hdpi\
and
res\drawable-xhdpi\
The updated file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24838537/framework-res.apk
I booted into recovery (TWRP), mounted system, and then copy and pasted the updated framework-res.apk file. Then I rebooted to system.
For whatever reason, if I go into messages and put in say or (and send) it still comes up with the old emoji's.
Not sure if the info is cached somewhere. I'm so close!!!
Any place I could be missing? The icons show up in the preview (like where it list your contacts and show like the first line or so). Just not within the message.
Quick update, I've noticed that also within google talk, the icons I replaced are showing. Just not from within the stock/oem messaging app (nor att messages which I think has its own completely different icons/emoji's)
