what do u mean u hav put 6 lockscreens in systemUI.apk .... Make a brief note of what u've done.... Also assuming u as a starter lookin at the junior member tag ... U hav to make a lot of changes to port lockscreens .... Files tat hav to be edited are framework-res.apk framework.jar services.jar settings.apk systemui.apk ... I would suggest u to learn development before u could start tampering with the system files else your phone would be doomed

Its not only systemui,
You need to modify framework-res and jar,
You also need to modify settings.apk and add the string to change the lockscreen

Hey I have not edited the mms.apk which u have told.But you just asked for theming so i can help the simple theming guide
Use apktool to decompile these apk files after which you get the folder which contains res,smali etc files
As you are not modding just want to change the theme go to the res folder and open the drawable-hdpi,drawable-ldpi.
Replace the images you want to change with that from s3 and build it ....
Voila you got a themed app ...
Incase you want to edit the UI also like by adding more buttons kind of thing then you might consider doing some stuff around with the layouts and smali code..
In case of smali, learn from this site ..

Gud Luck.
Thanks i think this might help you,
optimus
PS:I think most of the res required for system files are present in framework.
Use the search button...
There are a lot of tuts forit...
But You can Also use APK Manager, its easy but not very good as apjtool...

You rename apps you need to edit smali files. I also didnt know how to rename my launcher but i searched a lot. To change color you need to edit xml files in res/layout or res/values.

Here`s the tutorial on how to add option in settings[about phone]...
It worked for me...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061958
Press Thanx if I helped u...!!
2. The App Name is defined in the strings.xml in the res folder... But usually I get errors while compiling it back.. I dont know if this works for you
I dont know the rest... D-3V!L already gave you the tutorial about Rom name and dev name thingy
Changing text color http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151075
-respect older people-
To rename apps open androidmanifest . You might find something like 'android:label="@string/app_name" if u see some thing like this search for "app_name" (in this case ) and you will find the name of app in the strings.xml
if i hav accidently helped u, u can press that button,
colors are located in colors folder,
specifically
primary_text_****.xml
secondary_text_****.xml
etc. etc.
declared as hex codes,
please research the proper hex codes for your desired color,
and compile the apk properly to get best results,
preferably you could replace classes.dex with the previous unedited apk incase it does not install

Your question is too vague - state exactly what you want to do if you want support from members
There is lots of things you can edit in framework-res and android.policy
Best to type into Google what you want to do and search for a guide
It looks from your pics you have just created a working folder in kitchen
You need to decompile the apk you want to edit with apktool then edit xmls smalis and pngs - again search for a guide for exactly what you want to do

again too vague - you cant just say you want to replace the SystemUI - that is an entire apk - Unless you are just going to replace it with a SystemUI.apk from another rom but I would not recommend that as if you are going to release the rom you wouldn't have permission to do so plus the apk may have dependences of other apks and mods that you would also need to include
You need to know exactly what you want to mod
If you want to mod the SystemUI.apk you would need to decompile the apk with apktool and edit what you want - You will find guides to do this if you search google - You will find a guide to decompiling apks in my signature which has all my threads.
If you want to add lidroid toogles for example search for galaxy y xda how to add lidroid toggles in google
Same if you want to edit the framework to add extended power menu search for that
You cant just say I want to replace this and that apk
Also calling yourself a noob is no excuse - You have to learn how to use google and how to use the search feature to find what you want to do and then read everything - Once you have understood the basics and you know what you want to achieve only then if after trying you can post in the respective threads for any support relating to the thread
