Not sure this is entirely possible. You would have to decompile the app and change files and code. Not 100% sure.

Yeah, only to decompile, easier is to use another launcher.

check in Settings -> Display
it is if you're running touchwiz.
Check out "Font Changer" and/or "Custom Android Font Switcher" in the market, allows you to change the system fonts pretty easily.

hi! sorry I wrote wrongly.. I forgot a word.. I know where apps are.. I meant where default app ICONS are.. sorry for confusion..
I'm asking this because I would like to replace the exDialer icon (green one) with the default JB telephone one (blue receiver).. but I don't know where I can locate the JB telephone app icon..
I think you may have had the right image, but I believe you may have to decompile then recompile the app properly to do change that. Google should produce results for a guide to do this as I have seen one recently

nova launcher allows me to change apps icons very easily, I have already changed all the apps icons I have in the dock.. so I just need to know where I can find the telephone app icon to be able to use it..

Which one do you want? If I have it I will drop box it for you
To replace images you don't have to decompile just drop them in /res/*whichever folder it goes in* with a store compression value.
Only when you need to edit XML's do you need to decompile and recompile.

I have it somewhere in the system I'm sure otherwise the app couldn't show it but don't know where i could look..
you forgot the attachment
Sorry.. second from the left, third row.. it is the regular jb telephone app icon.. I don't like all the other telephone icons I have..

mate.. you are epic!!
that's wonderful.. at last.. thanks so much! :good::good::highfive::victory:
You dont need to decompile to change .pngs...just open the .apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace what you want to
the other drawable folders arent used in the S3 - they are overwritten by the xhdpi folder
Edit, couldnt type it fast enough...!!
And that should be dropped in appname.apk/res/mipmap-xhdpi or hdpi or mdpi whichever one is for your dpi.

Is there a way to get the stock Android lockscreen on the P769? I have tried renaming LGLockscreen3.apk but the new lockscreen it gives after renaming it has a white line on the bottom. I was thinking if maybe there was an apk that has the AOSP lockscreen so I can replace LGLockscreen.apk with it. I have tried Holo Locker but sometimes the phone unlocks to the LG Lockscreen.

For after market lock screens, like Go Locker, etc. You must disable the stock lock screen and also must allow and activate the after market lock screen app in System->Security->Phone Administrators

Thanks, but is there a way to get the stock Android lockscreen without aftermarket apps? If you don't understand what I mean by "Stock" I mean the lockscreen with a white lock and 3 shortcuts, Google Up, Camera Left, and Unlock Right. It's the one found in CM.

That's CM's lock screen. Should be available in any CM ROM. Stock is unchanged from the OEM.

Would it be possible to get the lockscreen.apk from a CM10 ROM and use it on a stock P769?
EDIT: I tried opening a CM ROM but there isn't a lockscreen APK. (I'm still learning about Android) However, when I rename the LGLockscreen3 APK, I get a CM-like lockscreen just that it has a grey bar on the bottom.

Thanks for sharing.
All you have to do is remove the lockscreen apk.
You made the system not find it by renaming it.
I believe I saw something about it inside the LGSettings.apk. However, I never knew how to enable it. :beer:

For some reason I can't see the images you attached, instead it's a broken file icon do you know what causes that? It only happens to me on XDA.
You could try editing build.prop
There is lglockscreen=true or something similar. Dont remember exactly. Just chang it.
From what I can tell the following are the files you've been looking for...
1) com.lge.lockscreen.apk
2) Lock Screen Settings.apk
As @kuma82 mentioned, there may also be something in SystemUI.apk as well.

Mine is 100% transparent. I've done a lot of editing. I'm not sure what exactly I changed. I'll see if I can fix it.
I've been doing some searching and I can't find where it's at

Update
I believe that lockscreen is found in the frameworks apk. I've checked everywhere else and I found some info in the frameworks.

@kuma82 is right. Original AOSP lock screen code is in /framework.jar and its resources are in framework-res.apk. To fix grey bar you need to look into those files. If you delete or rename Lockscreen3.apk, AOSP lockscreen will show up. But I don't think it's easy to fix that grey bar and you don't have option to customize that lock screen.

Hi !
I'm looking for an alternative to xSuite (or Resflux but I'm not sure because I never test it) but adapted to Lollipop in order to rename my apps and/or change their icon. xSuite doesn't work properly for all in LP, I saw that it works for some people, but not for all. Resflux, which apparently does the same, doesn't work too.
xSuite has the advantage to change the name or the icon of an app in the entire device, and I didn't find something equivalent for LP.
Thank you
No one has an idea ? Thanks !

Any modern launcher has the option to rename an app and change its icon.

I know, but not like xSuite. With this module, the changes are made in the entire device and the entire app, in contrary to Nova or anything else.
