I'm using Cog 5.5.
I've put the apk for launcher pro in \system\app, and renamed TouchWiz30Launcher.apk. Launcher pro still shows up in the task manager- and system apps usually don't. Is there anything else I need to do?
Would it be simpler to rename Launcher Pro apk to TouchWiz30Launcher?
Thanks,
AoN
if you are on froyo (which cog 5.5 is), simply push ANY other launcher to /system/app (you don't need to change the name) and delete the touchwiz30launcher apk. that's it.
also, please don't post in the wrong sections. this isn't development related, Q&A or General please.

is there an app that gives what ever theme im on 5 home screens?? not including the home replacements...
Amount of home screens is hard-coded into the Launcher.apk app. However, you can change the (freely available) source code to have as many home screens as you wish (within reason of course - anything over 10 will slow down the phone), skin it to the appropriate theme, compile it, sign it and overwrite the original Launcher.apk app.
Some ROMs come with pre-modified launchers (CyanogenMod, xROM, etc.) and there are several stand-alone launchers that are being developed by XDA community members. Take a look in the "Dream android development" section. Keep in mind though that those launchers are not themed, and may not work on all ROMs.
can i jus take a launcher.apk file from someone's theme and jus install it, for example the one from the hero theme?
u cannot just take the hero launcher and put it in if you are running a non-hero rom. you can take another launcher from another theme and put it in as long as its for the same rom as you. always make backup just in case as it can cause you to have bootloops or non-booting.
can someone tell me how to edit my launcher.apk file to make it 5 homescreens?

you dont.
you can edit the SOURCE of the launcher.apk (if you have it), then recompile it and include it in a rom.
or, as suggested before, get one already modified (but may not work with all roms).

I really dont think its that simple.
You might wanna take a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540880&highlight=launcher.apk
Its not technically a "home replacement" since it uses the original tweaked android code. You just replace your launcher.apk with this one.

well thanx for the help...i got my answer!
I wanted to try this mod but am confused at one of the install steps...
How to:
- move "PulldownMod.zip" in /sdcard/...
- apply with MetaMorph and Nandroid before!
- you will get FC when applying SystemUI folder -> just reboot and all is fine

What is meant by apply with MetaMorph? Not familiar with that.

Metamorph is an application for theming, it's available in the market.
Please don't start a separate thread for any questions you have. (You started 2 today). Post in the Q&A section or the discussion sticky in this forum.
Hello Devs,
I'm interested in making a few very minor modifications to the overall theme for my phone. I'm currently using FireFly, and although I like it for the most part, I'm not very fond of the current animation used to display dialogs.
I currently develop for Android, so I'm familiar with aspects of applying styles and themes to my own app as well as using styles from within the android.jar. I've read a few things about doing this, but I'm hoping there's a way to clear up some loose ends.
1. If I were to just open up and modify the main FireFly zip package, paricularly the files under /system/framework/framework-res.apk, would it be possible to to zip it back up, flash back to stock and then follow the usual procedure to install the Rom?
2. Is it possible to modify that .apk and just upload it directly to the my current rom?
3. Do I need to be concerned with apk signing?
Thanks to everyone in advance,
Jeremiah
Im not a moderator but I believe this should be in themes section or Q&A. =/
From what Ive done. You can modify the zip packages. Best results I'v had is using 7zip to modify them internally. Ive only modified images in them, and my little experience you have to keep the same amount of images it had from the beginning. Im not sure if that is changed by modifying the xml's or something else.

Damn it... I had a feeling I missed a section this would be belong more in, my eyes glazed right past the words Theme in the App/Theme section. A mod is more than welcome to move it, sorry for the mistake.
Thanks for the advice though
I haven't done any themeing myself mainly because I'm too lazy, but from what I understand based off what other people who do theme have said to modify the number of images you need to edit the corresponding xml file.

Might help alleviate some of your worries about signed apks and what not.
Many of the colors are handles by XML. You will need to decomplie apks to modify xml files and then recompile them again.
You can use APK Manager to decomplie and recomple the APK packages.
Also, go through this thread.
PS: Request mods to move this thread to Q&A section.
Takes time to do it. I used to do a lot of themeing to roms but had to hang it up. You have to know what picture files to change and then what each line is in each .XML.

Trimmed stock roms go in general forum, so the thread is Ok here, I would ask you list what you define as trimmed down, ie, what apks have been taken out. Maybe a few screenshots, is the Rom rooted ect.
Thank you

1. Added credits
2. I have not added any scripts so far. Its just vanilla rom with trimmed apks.
3. I have installed it on my phone and using it for one week now
I don't think anyone is gonna use your ROM. Sincerely, no one uses bareboned stock ROMs anymore because there are plenty others more interesting which give smoothness and speed.
But anyway, i like the idea. Hope you add something interesting so that you will attract more users
exactly what I was looking for thank you very much... maybe its time for me to learn how to do that myself...anyway...

what tool to removed apk. pm me please
is this for only XXLF3_ODDLF1_DDLF1? what about others?
Since I installed the thunderrom ROM v2.1 and the nova launcher I have this problem: Com.android.systemui Stopped, and I have to do a hard reset, anyone know why this happen?
Just letting you know that you are posting in the wrong thread. Questions are post on the q and a thread. This might be caused by deleteding a certain app that systemui needs
Sorry if I posted it on the wrong thread.
I didn't delete any application. I only flashed that ROM (thunderrom t800) and skyhigh kernel but didn't delete anything.
I'm looking for that file (systemui.apk) in the path: system / app but that file don't exists.
Try using thunderrom v2. Since V2.1 is beta v2 might work for you.
Ok
