Editing TouchWiz30Launcher.apk

I need a help. Please look at this topic
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523&highlight=touchwiz
This man and many others people on XDA-forum editing TouchWiz app. Original homescreen by Samsung. They are changing icons, adding backgrounds etc etc. Please could anyone help me or anyone know how to do that? This app - TouchWiz30Launcher.apk - is in system/apps. How or in which program I could edit for example icons or add new dock to bottom? Anybody know?

Please for all. Could anyone help me with this?

ok first you have to be on jpy firmware then you have to take the twlauncher30.apk from the thread you referenced and you need to be rooted an use root explorer to install to your phone by backing up the existing .apk and .odex (rename see instructions in other thread) and then overwritting it with the one from that thread.
the one from that thread is de-odexed so you can edit the .png (icons) using microsoft photo editor or something else and then replace the .png directly in the .apk file with 7zip.. then you can put modified .apk on phone in sameway..
here is my modified version with a modified "bender" launcher icon

}

Ok i learned this now but where I can change norification bar? In which app? Also in TouchWiz30Launcher.apk?

notification bar is in framwork-res.apk in system/framework..
same method using 7zip to change icons and then put back on phone with root explorer.. after putting back on phone stuff will start crashing and you should reboot.. (may need to pull battery).. make sure you have backups of originals.
notification pulldowns (not the bar) are much more comlicated and you have to change .jar files in the system as well.

Many thanks =) Changing icons in notification bar looks quite hard Is there any easier method?

what i did is find some other rom or custom rom you like and get the framwork-res.apk from that (you know you can just unzip the .apk and then use windows explorer to browser the directories to see all icons at once)
then you can open your framework-res with 7zip and the one with icons you like in another instance of 7zip and then just cut and past the icons (they need to be the same name... as some have additional icons and that entails decompiling and changing .xml files and recompiling and resigning.. much more complicated)... anyway just cut and paste directly from one 7zip into the other (your modifed framework-res from your curent firmware on your phone) then put it back on your phone.

You can't simply replace the whole .apks . You need to open the apks with winrar or 7zip and replace the .png which have the same name(I have done before).. if you want to get stock transitions, you have to decompile and edit a lot....
For the launcher.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470713

But now looking for the notification style please guide..thanks! :highfive:

[REQUEST] Help!

Please help me to decompile SystemUI.apk, I tried to put the notification bar transparent modifying this line of XML systemUI:
changing: android: id = "@ id / notification_panel" android: background = "@ drawable / notification_panel_bg" to "# 00000000" and soon after recompiling the APK tool nothing happens, it seems that the signature changes and my systemui is corrupted why the notification bar disappears.
Can someone teach me the correct way to decompile/compile system applications? Wanted it to be so.
Follows an example image:

How to do it? Since these files will already be decompiled? We took a step by step I would appreciate

When you use apk-tools you could do a compile system app, it copies good signatures automatically
Whatever, if you want to copy the good signature, open your apk with winrar or 7zip, then open the original apk.
Drag and Drop the Folder META-INF and the file manifest.xml from the original apk to the new compiled apk.
And it's over

I use the tools apk modified by Madninj (think is asim who writes their nickname)
But anyway, thank you for explaining, and I've tried previously with apktool and it did not work, I'll try with 7zip.

LTE to 4G

Hi can somebody help or guide me on how to change the icon of lte to 4g for the status bar?

Could you shorten your post please? All the information is a bit overwhelming so it's hard to extract the exact issue or question...

If you're running a deodexed rom you can manually replace the .png file in "SystemUI.apk" (located in /system/priv-app/) or "framework-res.apk" (located in /system/framework/). I'm not exactly sure which of these 2 files contains the .png file('s) you're looking for, so give it a shot!

Tnx mate I do remember someone post by editing the build prop but then seems like I cannot find where it is.

Its not the build.prop
SystemUI.apk and framework-re.apk
SystemUI.apk is in system/app and framework-res.apk is in system/framework
You can pull them to your PC and then open them with WinRAR (Or similar) and find the .pngs which you can just change
They will be in the res folder.

If I pull them out to PC the apk, open them with WinRAR, find the .pngs which I will replace, save the replaced ones with WinRAR, put them back to system/app and system/framework, overwrite the original one (backup them first), reboot, it will work?
