I believe you add it in the drawable folder which is in the res folder of the Launcher.apk. Just replace the images that are in there with the ones that you find originally there, but make sure you keep the same name. Just edit the image, and not the name. Hope that helps. (And another themer correct me if i'm wrong)
can you add to the one that are currently there or do are you limited to a set number?

Same thing was discussed in another forum as seen in the above quote. But like SG_SHADOW said, and as far as i know, replacing the ones there is the best way to go without getting fc's every time you try to change your wallpaper. Hope that helps
It does and thanks for your help

Is it possible to remove some wallpapers that I never used containing in the launcher.apk? Does that help the performance?
I don't know where to ask this question but i'll give this a shot.
When making the theme, where do i store the dock background picture that i want to use for my theme? is it under drawables folder if so, what filename should i name it?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm hoping that someone can help to get me started as I wish to start making more Mods and a theme without relying on UOT.
I am looking to learn how to make things within Rosie and SystemUI transparent such as Quick Settings and App drawer.
I've had a go with this theme by m-deejay. I have managed to make the notifications background transparent but not the bars within them or the quick settings.
I've tried to adjust the labels at the bottom by editing
Res, Drawable, status_bar_tab_off.9 and status_bar_tab_on.9 .pngs
but that doesn't seem to be working for me.
Any help from any themers to get me started will be much appreciated and credit given if and when I can finally get something up and working manually.
I am using photoshop and have avabox2 for signing etc
Thanks in advance
Bump for help
Mate you have to learn using apktool or apk_manager (it's easier - search here in xda to download)...
Just de-compile the Default SystemUI.apk and f.e take also a SystemUI.apk that you know it has transparency, rename it to SystemUItrans.apk f.e and de-compile it too...
Then use WinMerge application (it's for windows) and compare all folders of the 2 systemUI (drawable, layouts, values, etc) and see which .xml files are different...
Then duple click on .xml files that is with red color on WinMerge, and see the differences inside them...
If you read the lines that are diferent you will figure out what you want to change...
In SystemUI f.e there is a xml file with the name quick_settings.xml and has a line which write:
ScrollView android:id="@id/scroll" android:background="#66000000" android:fadingEdge="none" android:layout_width="fill_parent" ...
The android:background="#ffffffff" means that the background will be white... So for make it full transparent you have to change it to android:background="#00000000"
Also compare the smali folders that are created while de-compiling...
this is an example i gave you....
I use for decompile, recompile and zipalling the apk_manager4.9
Here is the Thread of apk_manager... So download it and if you have question ask there and the guys will help you more....
i found this thread a bit of help .

I'm running MIUI so we are talking apples and oranges here, but I've themed my settings background. Mine was a png in the framework-res apk called settings_background (or something like that). I'm at work right now so I don't have the decompiled rom to get the exact name. Sorry I can't be of more help but if you aren't seeing it in settings, I bet you will find it in framework-res.
Thanks so far, didn'f find a file excecpt "settings_header_raw.9", but this is for the header (as it says...).
I know that MIUI is using graphics for the background.
So sad that it seems to be not that easy :/
Does anyone else have any idea?
Thanks!
Any idea, please?

Hello,
wish this is the correct section to make my question. I'd like to know if someone can tell me how to find the names of the .png files of drawer icons, because I want to mod a theme where not all the icons are themed.
For example, for the browes icon, I know that the png file is called "com.android.browser.browseractivity"; for the copilot icon the name is "com.alk.copilot.copilot".
But for a lot of icons I don't know the name. Can someone help me, please?
thank you
Matteo
