Hey guys....
How many of you'll would like to learn how to edit the background of apps with ur favorite images instead of sick black color.....
and here is the solution....
first decompile framework-res.apk either with apktool or apk manager
den hav three different pictures (potrait and landscape)
now place a picture in the drawable two pictures of landscape orientation in drawable land and two pictures in drawable ldpi hdpi or wat ever ur mobile supports
name then properly such as name the image in drawable folder as back_dark and in the rest land and ldpi folders name the images as back_dard,back_bright respectively
next comes the major part :|
go to "values"--> "drawables" and rename
Code:
name="screen_background_dark">#ff0000</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light">#ff0011</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_dark_transparent">#ff0000</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light_transparent">#ff0000</drawable>
(the color codes which i gave in the above is not the original code just for an example i wrote some code )
the above lines into
Code:
<drawable name="screen_background_dark">@drawable/back_dark</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light">@drawable/back_bright</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_dark_transparent">@drawable/back_dark</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_light_transparent">@drawable/back_bright</drawable>
Save the file and compile the framework-res.apk

I dont think you can change the background with UOT? Can we and how?
First of all does UOT work with our x8? Is it only for stock ROM? What settings do we need to apply in "File Upload" section if it works?
btw you can make the background transparent i.e the same as your wallpaper by using a cm7 theme like ICS by achep, A theme, MIUI by ZDuneX, etc.
You can edit framework-res.apk
And change or replace the bg.
You can open useing winrar . Search in folder res

i too wanted to decompile framework-res.apk to add reboot options to power menu to aosp ics. Never manged to make it boot :|...

The reboot options are located in the framework files, in android.policy.jar if I remember well. It's really hard to add those in smali.

I think your problem is the AndroidManifest.xml file. Everytime you recompile a system app, the apktool (or aapt binary) doesn't correctly compile this particular file. So you have to copy and replace inside the new created apk, the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from the original apk.
It worked,thanks,now is booting And i just Need to fix SystemUI (statusbar not appearing) !

SystemUI is very sensitive in XML editing. You have to be really careful to not delete some components from the XMLs (imageview, relative layouts, widgets). Some can be deleted, usually the simple ones like TextView or some drawables. But for the rest, the SystemUI will appear as uninstalled in your system, even after a clean re-compile.
Infact that was what i got,SystemUI not installed. Fixed by rebuilding my ROM (just delete everything and re-start from scratch and it worked. Thanks alin for your precious tips ! :*
