I am trying to change the Default Wallpaper on a rom I am cooking, Does anyone have a way of doing this? I have tried replacing the Launcher.apk with a modified one contain-ing the image I want but it still defaults to the now deleted lake from the apk, Where are the settings stored for this?
the default wallpaper is in framework-res.apk>res>drawable
thank you.
I would like to create a theme for htc desire, my idea is just to change the colors of the background applications and change the color of the keyboard, I would have everything with black background and white text.
you can extract the original files and edit them android on htc desire?
you can then apply a skin on the original release of android, I would not installing any ROM.
There are themes for htc original unmodified desire?
My HTC is ROOTED.

You would need to change
system/app/HTC_IME.apk
system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
system/framework/framework-res.apk
I don't know how to change the colour of font though, but changing the images is easy, they are all in res/ in the apk
And that's if modifying the original rom is possible
Thanks..
If I can extract them from the phone, this apk files, can I change it with the framework sdk and then install the new apk as a simple application or should I create an update file for use in recovery mode?

Make an update file for use in recovery or push them using adb, they won't install like normal apps
I have take the apk files from HTC, now how can i edit it? If I open apk as if they were zip archive, the files are corrupt, if I open XML files do not see them properly, but they have garbled characters! how can I do?
After opening the apk, go to res/drawable-hdpi folder where you can find all the images/icons.
perfect, I read your fantastic tutorial for images and icons.
But I would change the colors, the background and the text, the size of the text.
I know that these settings are written in XML files, but they are encrypted in the file that I take from my phone or files on any apk.
you have an idea how can I do?
i have this question too...the xml files are all with special characters not readable....i tried utf-8 and ANSI
Fantastic!
I found this tool on the net, the name is android-apktool at http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/ .I tried it and it works, now I see the XML file! Incredible!
Let me know if you know it and if it is reliable.
I have been working on this issue for most of the day over in the Vibrant forums.
I am posting here in hopes of getting someone who knows more about apk editing and fonts then I do to help out.
Link to the post on the XDA Vibrant forum here
Please post your response there. Once the issue is solved I will repost a walk-through on all Galaxy S forums.
Here is the start of my thread, please read the link to see the progress.
I am aware that there are other ways to edit the fonts on our phone, by replacing renaming the default font. This is NOT what I would like to accomplish.
Since the Galaxy S is the first android phone to use Flipfont, I think we should take advantage of it. It gives us a nice preview of the font in the built in menu option and is thus superior to the other methods.
I originally purchased the Bauhaus font from the market and made a backup of it through ASTRO. After pulling the file from my phone and putting it on the computer I started editing the file with Apk Manager 4.8 found here
Steps preformed
Copied original apk into place-apk-here-for-modding folder
Run script.bat and choose option 9 ***this maybe where the issue is as I may need to choose option 10 and include the dependancy if there is one for the flipfont apk.
replace bauhaus.ttf with a .ttf font of my choosing
edit all XML, yml and smali files to include the font name or font.ttf depending on the entry in the original file *** I did not change any of the other coding so again this maybe where the problem is, as I may need to change something else to have the font act properly.
Edit the last folder name in the smali folder tree from bauhaus to the name of my font
Replace font with custom font and replace the preview image with my own
Compile apk
Sign apk
Rename apk
install apk on my phone
After putting the apk on my phone and installing the file, it shows up as expected in settings>Sound and Display>Font style. The font thumbnail shows up properly as does the font preview. The preview does show up a little larger then the other fonts and may be a sign that the font is not optimized properly or that I missed something in the XML.
After applying the font and restarting, the phone is extremely slow, freezing quite often and the font does not show up, it shows the default font instead.
If anyone that knows more about XML or apk editing/creation can help it would be great.
I have included the edited font apk if you would like to download it and run it through Apk Manager 4.8. If you want to try it with the bauhaus or one of the other fonts you will need to buy it from the market and back it up. (trying not to break any rules here.)
[EDIT][More info] Ok I took a closer look at the font that came with the Bauhaus akp
In the discription of the font it list:
OpenType Layout, Digitally Signed, TrueType Outlines
I know that opentype is a new format and that alot of the fonts for OpenType that I find are made by Monotype, the same people that make the fonts available for download. I think this may have something to do with it or maybe Im just grasping. :ºp
Any font guys out there have any info on this?
CAUTION THE FOLLOWING FILE IS NOT MEANT FOR USE AND WILL CAUSE YOUR PHONE TO RUN SLOW!!!
Download Font APK
You only can use .ttf (true type font) any other type will not work,if you have a font u want to use but is not in .ttf then you need to convert it to .ttf, btw i prefer the Type Fresh app to manage and change my fonts is easier than the method you described.
Also, make sure the font has a full latin library. I learned the hard way from the TypeFresh app (which is a way better solution IMO). In its instructions which I only read the second time, one font (i believe its called DroidSansFallback.ttf) needs to have a COMPLETE set, including latin, I believe for certain coding going on somewhere. I bricked my phone within two hours of rooting it. Took three to get it back. (Backup people!)
Anyways, now I use TypeFresh, it gives you options on which system font to replace, and I never replace that one.
Hope this helps.
Hello guys, i'm making a custom gingerbread rom, and i need to change some things directly from the zipped rom, like the default wallpaper, icons in the desktop, theme, boot animation, etc. What files i need to change to make this ? And another thing ... anyone have the file with the bootanimation of the magic green android robot ?

Most of your changes are in the framework-res.apk. You have to decompile and make changes in the res/drawable-hdpi folder which holds the png files for most of the stuff. The default android bootanimation png's are also there in assets/images folder.
how i can reactivate this again ? Removing bootanimation.zip ? i'm trying shadowmodbr, and for this the bootanimation its only the name Android. I like the magic green robot.

You put the bootanimation.zip file in either /system/media or /data/local. The default android bootanimation is not a zip file.
If you want the default back, just delete the bootanimation.zip files.

If you want only to replace png files, you dont need to decompile. Just open the apk with 7zip and replace the png's.

If u want to change the app icons, you have to do that in the app, not in the framework. The folder is the same, /res/drawable-hdpi.

no, you don't understand what i trying to say. I'm trying to add the icons of some programs in the default desktop, and not change the icon of the programs. To minimize the 'empty' sensation of the rom installed without backups.

*requires root
Extra the rar and copy the icon file to the sd card
copy the icon file to /system/media/theme
edit the permissions to be rw-r--r--
copy that file to /system/media/theme/default (overwrite the old file, you may want to make a backup of the old file first)
apply the default theme again
Thanks!
Hello,
I'm sad to reactivate this old thread but I'm searching for a resolution for exactly this issue. On my new Mi MIX 2 (running with MIUI 8.5) it's the same ugly style.
So I replaced the attached file with the original version. The white background is gone away, but the icon for "Clock" and "Mi Account", too. Only the app label is still visible.
Is there a way to remove the ugly background and keep the icons for these two apps?
PS: Maybe this thread should removed to a better place, if there exists one for device unspecific MIUI questions
Best regards
Dan
It removed the icon for Calendar in MIUI 9.6.2.0.
Here I've prepared the file "icons" from MIUI9 with some alternations:
folder "res" comes from MIUI8, it doesn't give transparent background but sort of adaptive colour depending on the icon itself, i always liked it in MIUI8 that way
removed folders:
animating_icons\com.whatsapp
animating_icons\com.facebook.orca
as they still gave white background for Whatsapp and FB Messanger
- drawback: google play store doesn't have white background now, folder needed with icons with white background would be:
animating_icons\com.android.vending
download link: https://www55.zippyshare.com/v/4uWe9Hp2/file.html
apply as described above by loudog3114
it is also easy to reedit the file from loudog3114 with transparent background and add the missing icon for calendar from my file but i'm not interested, as stated before i like the "adaptive" background for icons from MIUI8
