What exactly is in Services.jar? Anything ROM specific? Or is that a file that is generally not edited?

Not exactly sure 100% but it does control some text colors such as clock and pulldown ticker color. I believe the incapped data controls are also a services.jar edit
You can open a jar file with a zip utility like winzip to dig through it...

So, would pulling a services.jar from another ROM to a different ROM be okay? or a bad idea?

HOW TO CHANGE SYSTEM ICONS ON FROYO
Hi @all! Just want to change system icons,just like in the CM7. So,i noticed that in /system/app Apks there are some *.pro files,but the CM7 ROM has *.png files. So today i'm gonna teach how to do this on Froyo.
First of all,pick an Apk from CM7 ROM and extract it. Navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi/ and you will find some *.png files. Search the one with "ic_launcher" prefix and rename his extension from .png to .pro. Then open with 7-zip an LG stock Apk and navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi. Replace ic_launcher original file file with the renamed one and voila,icon is changed!
You can also change other icons with this method.
Tested on openOptimus.
thanks - was going to do this now I know!

what is it doing or not doing?
Looks like you are using compression to create the zip. You need to zip in a non compressed format...

Interesting, I get a larger file size when I create the zip...
What did yo use to make the desc.txt?
Notepad sometimes doesnt' work too good.
I tried to make a new one using Notepad++
and it seems to be good. (tested and it's working)
Here I uploaded it, just rename to bootanimation.zip

Please use the 'search' tool..
Plus VigiDroid recently typed a guide for resizing .xml's.
A real dev should know what to do instead of opening these useless threads.
You shouldn't be too harsh to him. He was either unsure or confused on what to do.

Look at the other threads he have opened. The answers to all his questions are just somewhere at XDA (I think he can imagine that) so the next step is using the 'search' tool.
I think everyone can do this.

Wait did you even read my guide...? Nothing about values-mdpi... If you read the guide correctly you would learn that to resize you have to edit the values in xml files in /res/layout or /res/layout-mdpi or /res/layout-port or /res/layout-land
And it doesn't just happen all correctly with one change of a file and majority of the time when you change something you notice nothing has changed, this happens to me all the time, it just takes patience to get it right!

@VigiDroid
Sorry my friend but i must correct you the .xml files that you must edit are not in the res/layout or res/layout-mdpi folder they are indeed in the res/values and res/values-mdpi folders unless i'm mistaken but as i resized your lockscreen for SenseOnFire rom those were the .xml files i edited

Are you questioning my experience? haha
Now you see it seems I have overlooked lockscreen (which is why I could not get it to resize) nearly every other app you have to modify the .xml files in the layout folder but as a general rule you should just go and look into every .xml file and try and note if anything might be related to a layout..

please how to mod a status bar in esiest way
while i have tried using app manager he is asking for adb what is adb
i have installed adb drivers but no response please do yhe needfull
Try uot kitchen, very easy.
Here the site -> http://uot.dakra.lt/
Click kitchen and mod everything you want. Go to the tab that you can upload your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk. Go to summary and submit your work. Click pickup and wait you file appears. Install through recovery. Done.
ADB means Android Debug Bridge. If you're using apk multi-tool or apk manager, it asks for adb. It's very confusing and you may have to set the PATH variable, maybe download the SDK and all that. Use Apktool. I use it all the time for decompiling apks and it's the best for me. You can find the links to download it and the guide here.

U have to replace icons,with original..and the resolution and format should be same..
Example: If the original icon resolution is 48x48 then u should change ur image resolution to 48x48 or near like 52x52 not 200x200 and if the original icon is like Wifi_on.PNG then u have to rename your icon in wifi_on.PNG and then just replace... clear???

Yes, all folders. I just noticed that I need to remove the update from the app and the custom icon appears. How it's possible to fix that with the current update?

Probably you have changed only system/app apk.
Simply use latest version as base and use normal install.
Okay, problem fixed. Now, how can I edit default Android system apps? Like the Clock, Settings, etc.? I just noticed that the format is .pkm and I can't change icon. Can you help? Thanks.

No pkm in the file name, if the file is 'ic_launcher.pkm' then take the image you want to use and delete the pkm file and name the image 'ic_launcher.png'

No, this still does not work... The APK is no longer valid and prompted to put the ic_launcher.pkm. It does not recognize the ic_launcher.png.
How can I do please?
