I'd like to remove the Titanium Backup icon from this MIUI theme. Tried to access the icon folder through 7zip but it says 'compression not supported'. Is there anybody who can get this job done for me?
I would really appreciate it!
Cheers.
P/S: It's the reDARKend theme. Download link is as follows. http://goo.gl/RjFNk

But to change the icon, I have to access the 'icons' folder in the .mtz file and that's when the problem starts.

I love ebuddy on android, it's better than the official chinese MSN I posted a few weeks ago but I am sick of silver, white and orange. I am unfamiliar with how to get the apk files from apps installed from the android market.
Could someone, anyone please provide me with the apk file for ebuddy 1.9.1 (the most recent) so I can do some colour variations?
Cheers.

www.developer.android.com
Install the Android SDK, open Command Prompt and write:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /data/app app
Or if you know the .apk name
Code:
adb pull /data/app/apkname.apk
That will create a new folder called app in your /tools folder with all your apps.
Ah cheers man, done it
will post some colour variations asap.

Download APKManager and you should be good.
EDIT: Didn't see the answers below mine for some reason ... I'm not at my desktop right now, but if no one has checked it by the time I get hope I'll see if I'm any help.
If you're just changing pngs, try to just extract the apk then zip it when changed. Ie. Don't decompile it
Do this using apkmanager

I decompiled a fresh version of ebuddy, compiled back and installed, no probs.
But, for exchanging some png´s only, that´s what I do:
- take a fresh original version (v1.9.1 attached)
- open com.ebuddy.android-1.apk with 7-Zip
- copy/paste new png´s
- close file
- sign

Hello guys and girls....
Has anyone here used DLEV ROM?? Have you seen the windows animation?? I really like them, and I like to know if it's possible to port them to others ROM... like Symply or Apex, i mean, animations looks really *****ing amazing and it would be great to have them in others ROM's... I hope and answer!! Thank you very much!!
That's pretty easy actually.
open up the rom with the animations you want with 7zip go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res and drag out the amin folder to a place on your computer.
Now you can take any rom and open it to the same place drop that in and you should have them

7zip file manager. what i did was set that as the default program for .apks si now i just have to double click to open them up. did the same for regular .zip files too.
NO you cannot just plug in the framework-res form other roms. that will more than likely result in a bootloop. there is ALOT more in the framework-res.apk than just the animations... pretty much the entire theme of the rom (except the pulldown) is contained in it. Not to mention a lot of other system functions...
Thankyou

Hi,
I have now Zeus 6 flashed and running fine.
1. I would have back the old LG Wallpaper (not animated).
2. I miss the old GPS icon in the notification bar too.
What do I have to download from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21587977&postcount=2
I tried the animated wallpaper pack but that is not what I searched.
Thank you.
for lg old wallpaper
- LG Home pack (original LG Launcher) (flash from CWM): From V20N version, it will work at both versions.

I think it's because you really have to write SystemUI.apk and not just systemui.apk... Dont know why, but sometimes that's already the reason

Hi,

I read here

and at some other places without really understand this.
I now have two changed .apk files and don´t know how to proceed.
You need to make folders first.
Call one "system" inside make a folder called "app" and one called "framework"
Insert SystemUI into the app folder and the framework-res into framework.
Then you need to make an updater-script, or you copy it from another flashable .zip, which also contains systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
Then make another folder called META, insides one called "com" inside "google" and "android" inside it. Insert the updater-script and update-binary into it, zip those two folders together in one .zip, sign it, and flash it

I use Nova launcher and I can do it with that
could you please tell me how to change it with nova launcher? I am also using nova but don't know the procedure to change the icons
I downloaded an app called Icon Finder Plus, then I chose an icon and save it to my phone. Exit the icon app, Then long press the button you want to change and it should come up with, (move/resize/edit). hit the edit and then the picture, then choose the icon you want and your done.

Yep sure. Basically all of the softkey images are PNG files stored inside SystemUI.apk. And it's really straight forward if you just want to replace PNG files such as battery, signal and softkey icons.
There are two ways, you can either decompile SystemUI.apk and replace the PNGs inside (harder, time consuming method) or use a program called 7zip to open the apk archive and replace the PNGs (easier, quick method).
I used the second method to replace the softkeys. Here's how to do it:
*Always backup in recovery before modifying files*
Install 7zip
Right click SystemUI.apk and select 7zip -> Open archive
You'll see a few files/folders, open 'res' then 'drawable-xxhdpi' you'll see lots of PNG files
The ones I replaced were 'ic_sysbar_home.png' and 'ic_sysbar_home_land.png'
Drag these two files to the Desktop and open them with Photoshop or any image editing software
Erase the existing image and replace with any other desired logo/icon and save (remember the background must be kept transparent)
Drag the edited files back into the SystemUI.apk archive (res->drawable-xxhdpi)
Then copy the edited SystemUI.apk back to your phone, then move it to /system, change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then move it to /system/app and overwrite when prompted (your phone will probably reboot, it's normal)
That's it!
