Changing Widgets for Jellybean - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i have an idea, and i need to know if its possible and if so how to make it happen. I want to edit some of the widgets in Jellybean to look more like they should be in jellybean, for example i want to change the black new and weather bar to look more like the google search bar at the top of jellybean, and so on with other widgets. So my question here is: is there a way to open up the apks to edit these things? and if so would someone be so kind as to point me in that direction please. thanks in advance for whoever feels like helping me out, if im able to do these things and if people seem interested in using them i will be sure to post them on the forums.
Edit - So ive found the apktool and i think i know how to decompile something with it, though i havent tested it yet but what i need to know now is which apk are the widgets in jellybean? It seems that weather and news is genie.apk but i dont see it on my jb rom, and also i would like to know which apk is the power control widget in, if anyone knows please lemme know, thanks.

[Q] Launcher tutorial?

So, the question is kinda stated in the title...
I am looking for a basic launcher tutorial, if there's so, or a launcher skeleton application.
Basically what I want to do is a customized launcher, preferably totally remade of scratch (nope, simply modifying the original Launcher is a no-go, I want to add a few plus features), or based on a skeleton.
If anyone can help me, please do so!
I swear i saw something in the Android dev page that made a little simple launcher... i cant find it now of course.
perhaps looking at the ADW source would get you going. it is open source

found it

[Q] [req] Magic Locker Theme with Pull Down Bar

Hi There!
Does anyone know if there is a magic locker theme like the old HTC theme where the unlock was a bar, all the way across the screen, about 2/3 of the way down the screen, you pulled down to unlock?
Looked similar to the ios unlock except it was pull down.
Would be great if it was even the same colour scheme
Any help gratefully accepted.
Yes look in themes think its JKay .
jje
I might be going blind but I can't find anything under jkay, do you have a link? The MIUI V1 theme is close, except it still has app specific locks, etc.

Something like that except straight across rather than curved. Need to be able to see the time, not much else matters.
Thanks for all your help!

[Q] cm10 samsung galaxy s3 and Metamorph or Editing lockscreen.

Hello guys, i am a big fan of XDA and i hope im posting in the right area, i don't really post in these type of websites very often, but here is my problem and i hope it's possiable and someone can help me out or point me in the right direction. i have a samsung galaxy s3 running cm10, i installed widget locker (it lags way to much but im keeping it just because of the sliders) the moto default sliders that it has, is there anyway to replace the default slider of cm10 with sliders like that? so i don't have to rely on widget locker. i have speant the last 12 hours trying to figure this out, i am a noob when it comes to this, someome said Metamorph was possiable, but you need to do something with your framework-res.apk and i don't really know what to do there either, any help greatly appreicated!

I have 2 questions would be nice to answer

Hey guys I have 2 questions.
1. Im looking for some nice homescreens that were themed and how to make them. If anyone can provide hwo they made it with a picture that would be awesome.
2. Is ther any rumors on when Verizon will release 4.1.2 or any sort of update.
Thanks for your attention
Anyone would like to help me.Would be appreciated
I just use Go Launcher for my themes but if your looking to do some really custom stuff you might have to go another route. Have you checked youtube
Yeah I have but i dont really like using launchers and such. I like TW.
It really depends on how much you want to theme. If you're not rooted, you can download widget apps such as Beautiful Widgets or HD Widgets and use those as well as change the icons for apps. If you're rooted you can basically theme whatever you want. A good place to look for theming is youtube. If you wanted to, you could even go to the "Screenshot of your homescreen" threads and if they are popular people usually ask how to get them. This will give you a good idea of what to use.
To answer your second question, Samsung has already started pushing the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update to the International version of the Note 2 so it won't be too long before we get it on ours. Hopefully early 2013.
