So does changing the Build Number in the build.prop file cause any ongoing problems? Seems like a good place to put a cute message or your email address. In case your wondering I changed it to: Top Nurse Rules!
I changed mine to OZIAHBITCHEZ, it has only the "cool" effect

Here is the first line in mine:

Hope this helps...
sooo.... how does one go about editing/changing the build.prop file ??
I'm dying to know LOL
by using a text editor and going into the build prop and changing it. i hope this isnt the highlight of your day.

You get Root Explorer and open up system/build.prop
Click save and it will save your file and rename the old file as build.prop.bak IIRC. That is the reason a screen shot of a new build is pointless.

it certainly isn't the highlight of the day, however, for those of us that have never done it, it seems only proper to ask, right ?? I mean, if there's something that you've never done, and you never ask, will you ever be able to do it ?
Thanks for the answer in the midst of the sarcasm though.

Sometimes. Some of us poke around try to find edit these things before we ask. Sometimes you learn more by figuring things out on your own.

They are inside the framework-res.apk file, which is located in /system/framework/...
You need to open up framework-res.apk using winrar or similar, and go to folder /res/drawable-hdpi/ and then you will see all the icons that the system uses.
Good luck. Just be careful with framework-res.apk editing, it can easily cause force closes and constant reboots if done incorrectly.

Glad to hear people are starting on theming and framework mods. I am looking forward the battery mod personally. I haven't made one yet out of laziness, but I will definately be pushing yours when you post it.
Hope more people with MT4G jump in.

I'm actually really interested in doing this as well. I love doing graphic design so its only natural that I would want to modify my phone visually. My only concern is are these icons just a simple jpg or png and we can make our own and switch them out or is there coding and such behind them that I would have to do as well?
Just curious. Thanks!!!!
**btw I know this thread is 'answered' so please don't be upset that I bumped it to ask this question. I figured this thread could serve the purpose I'm asking for simply cause it would be pointless/waste of space to ask it in a new thread when this one exists. Thanks =)
The easiest way to exchange or replace a few PNGs (the icons are not JPGs), which are named identically to the originals, is to pick up Metamorph. It swaps the files for you with minimal intervention, unlike pushing/pulling the framework with adb or unlike using root explorer. And, by creating metamorphs, they can be zipped and easily shared.
Ok, I am a heavy mms user....I get **** all day...issue is some of them do not come through....I am assuming that it is the size cap that Sprint has, because they show on Sprint pic mail site.....
On Winmo I was able to go in and change the reg settings very easily....on Android i am not sure of where to look or even how to adjust it....can someone please look into this....on winmo I changed it to 10mb and it it worked great...
Any and all help is appreciated....if someone makes a flashable zip that would be great....that is what I did for Winmo and just passed it around...it was very popular...
I attached one that Calk made for Evo...not sure if it help...
Man I need to learn this ****...it actually looks fairly simple...I just have no clue...lol...maybe I will do some studying this weekend...but help would still be great...

Hrm, well I stand corrected... What a stupid garish 'feature.'
For those wanting the screen off animation:
Get the system dump from the Nexus S section.
Open it in WinRAR.
Go to system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/anim
Copy the 74 xmls somewhere on your Desktop.
Go to the same location on whatever ROM/Theme you're using and replace the files.
Flash it in recovery.
Hope this helps.

You're right!
So hey, i got tired of that graphic glitch, extracted the apk and decompiled it and looked thru the xml's and found errors in 2 of them (icon_camera_selector.xml & icon_play_selector.xml) and fixed what png's they called for.. camera selector was referencing pngs in com.htc.resources.apk that were the wrong ones obviously, and the play_selector.xml was referencing 2 play png icons in it too, i copied those from the htc apk and put them in the camera apk and fixed the xml..
original fixed apk:View attachment HTCCamera.apk
my question is, how could something like this happen? from what i can see its almost like someone used some app or script that constructed this apk from scratch and it "guessed" what the files where supposed to be..? i dont know...
FIX UPDATE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11900569&postcount=41
Don't using apk tool to decompile it. There are a lot of bugs to decompile the system APK.
You have using HEX Editor software like UltraEditor to modify the APK to fix the resource issue.
Can you explain what are the "graphic glitches" you are talking of?
Thanks!

Because of the htccamera is using the HTC customize resource, it will fail on decompile and recompile.

Well On the 1.84 Builds - The Review Doesn't work ..
You Get graphic error DURING Review ..
Your ONLY Option was/is To Turn Off Review ..
CMY Made a Ver That Disabled The Review Totally.
Most Important to me anyway Is The Review! I Use My Phone For Work.
And Its Nice To See The Pictures So I Know They Are Good ..
The send button in review - is a Different Issue ..
And I Never Use It Much Anyway .. Would Be Nice If It Got Fixed

well, i dont know what to say, i decompiled it with no issues, i identified 2 xml's that were using resources in the htc resource apk, fixed those xmls to point to the right ones in the camera apk, recompiled and installed, and its working just fine.. as far as i can tell it had no built in dependence towards the htc resource apk..

this mod needs root access and a build.prop editor.
after you have these things open the editor and navigate to ro.build.version.release this is the android version label
here you can change it to whatever you want, like i don't know mabey android 4.2.1 haha
or anything else you want even names or words...
just thought id share this little mod with you guys
(please note that this does not actually change the version of the OS it just says it does here's a screen shot of my phone in the attachment)
