the images are located in system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\raw-xhdpi\.
ive done it with the HD. what i did was replace the images with my own and rename them accordingly then place back into system\framework with the permissions rw-r--r--. i have no idea if it works with the hdx and i have no idea what would happen if you change it.

Hi everyone,
can anybody tell me how I can change the font of the stock SE lockscreen? I don't want to use an app for this (lockbot, etc). Just want to change the font or the images the clock uses. Help me please!
G.
The font is in the framework-res in the assets folder.
And how can I edit that? It is in the framework, extract is ok, but how can create an .apk after change font? Thanks for help anyway.

By pulling the contents, modding, then pushing them back. Read the theme reference thread for tips.
Great! Thanks again!!!
And if i'm ready (change font, rename as an apk), should I paste over the original apk by RE for example? Is that all?

No need to be renaming anything. Just open the apk as you would any other zip and pull the files, after modding them just drag and drop them back into the framework.apk. Some say you can use RootExplorer to overwrite the original but I've done it twice in the past and both times the phone stuck at boot, so recommend using adb to push back to the phone and install.
That's why I asked, cuz last two times the same happened to me, device frozen in boot. May I use QtADB? It looks working easier for me.

You can use whatever, so long as you can push and install files, like MrRusch's Mod Tool
Do you use it anyway? (x10ModTool)

No, I prefer using adb directly.
qtADB should be ADB with a GUI, an user friendly version of it. Thanks.
done, but nothing changed. Is it sure those fonts to be changed? Is it possible to create a kind of a zip able to flash by x-rec?
Hi I was wondering if someone can help me modify an apk I got from the market. Its a flag live wallpaper and wanted to include my country since there isn't a live wallpaper with my flag. I tried to exchange an image of my country's flag with one in the apk itself however, after zipping it back up it wouldn't install on my phone. I got a problem sparsing package error. Then I tried using ninjamorph and did the same thing. This time it wouldn't install.
What can I do to make this work? Someone please help! Im new at this.
Btw this is the app I downloaded from the market:

You can't modify market apps without resigning them. Search for apk manager or....can't remeber the name, but there's a tool that's simply made for signing apks.
so after zipping the file back up, do I just run it through apk manager? Im currently having issues with that program. And how do I sign the apk? Is it hard or automated by the program?
Thanks in advance!!

Ya it's after you have it zipped up as a .apk and ready to go. You may have to rename it as "unsignedAPPNAME.apk". Either way, simply place it in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder and select option 12 "Sign APK". The you'll have a "signedAPPNAME.apk". That's it

k so i went in resized your image and optimized, zipped and signed and it tells me that im overwriting an app upon install then it says application not installed.
im actually upset because i cant figure out what the problem is, i normally have success with this kinda stuff but i might just take a loss on this one.
Sorry dude, heres the app anyway if someone wants to look.
P.S I changed your image because it was blurry upon resize, im sure you'll like my new one.

I was going to try to fix this, but it installed just fine for me. The flag matches what he uploaded, so I assume it's correct.
I'm guessing you probably had the original apk already installed on your phone. A resigned apk will generally not overwrite the original. you have to manually uninstall it first. (I'm explaining this more for the op's benefit than yours )

I am on ShishirROM ICS and I really like the Rom over all. However in his latest up date he included the stock ICS lock screen and scrolling wallpaper and I personally prefer the ones from the previous release. I am willing to do the work to revert them to what I want but want to make sure I am on the right track. Is this guide from the walkthrough sticky the correct way to do this (How to manually replace modded/stock system files)? I have both versions of the ROM on my laptop so I am thinking I can pull what I want from one and use the guide above to replace it in the other. Thank you in advance for your help.
Switch the android.policy.jar file and that should give you the old lockscreen.
That's generally all you should do for deodex, so I do not know since his rom is odex.

Bootloop, reflash the rom without wipe.

Not sure why but when I replace the android.policy.jar file and reboot I still have the same lock screen.
what I am doing. Unpack ROM, copy android.policy.jar from laptop to external SD, move file to system, change permissions to match existing file(rw-r-r), confirm permission change, move file to framework, replace existing file OK, back out of root explorer and reboot.
Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

Save it to your gallery, edit contact, tap the picture image then replace it or edit your contacts.apk and repalce the default images with that one
But I have over 360 contacts, I have to do this one by one? I know how to change the picture of a contact. I want to change the default picture of all the contacts.

OK I think with a little guidance I can manage to do this.
Question:
1-) To repack the APK do I have to use a special ZIP program or just winzip is ok?
2-)Can't I just extract the APK and install it like a normal APK or do I really have to ZIP it and Flash it?
Upload the image and post the link. I will do it for you and send you the apk. Then you just have to replace it in /system/apps

My phone is root if that's what you mean. I use Files expert and I can see the internal phone but it wont let me overwrite the file.

not sure if you need to do it with files expert but with root explorer you have to enable Read/Write mode (small button at the top), otherwise its just Read mode and you cannot change files in the system folders even when you are rooted. Maybe its the same for files expert?
Has anybody successfully been able to do anything with the /system/priv-app/NvCustomize/ app?
I have tried, but even moving the folder to a different place and putting it back without any modification renders it corrupt.
Any idea how to tackle this? I hate the ugly background. I had to disable this app to at least have the Google Leanback wallpaper. But since it's probably just a matter of changing the wallpaper image in the NvCustomize.apk file (which I found), it should be possible to replace it with any image you want.
Does anybody have a clue as to why it won't work?
EDIT: I got it to work. I had to set the read/write permissions to the appropriate 644 setting.
So for anyone trying to change their default wallpaper: Replace the nv_wallpaper.png from within the /system/priv-app/NvCustomize/NvCustomize.apk file to your desired wallpaper with the same name. (And maybe best to keep the same dimensions (1920x1080) for performance reasons.
If you use an file browser that can browse from within an apk, then you should only have to copy the new nv_wallpaper.png file inside the right folder in the apk. Permissions should stay intact. Overwrite the file of course.
If you first extract the apk to modify it on your pc or somewhere else, make sure you set permissions of the apk back to 644.
