[MOD] How to change Smileys/Emoticons

First you have to get YOUR Rom's Framework-res.apk
REQUIREMENTS:
MUST BE ROOTED
ROM MANAGER
ClockWorkMod Recovery
There are 4 main ways to get it: (Thanks to avreen)
1.From the zip file of your ROM
Code:
Download the ROM you are using.
Decompress/unzip it using 7zip/winzip .
Open System/Framework/ in the unziped folder
Take the framework-res.apk in system/framework/ folder.
Place it anywhere you want (on the desktop for example).
2.From your phone
Download a file manager (Astro or ES File Explorer or other...) in the Market.
Go to /system/framework/ folder in your phone.
Copy the framework-res.apk in your SDCard.
Place it anywhere you want (on the desktop for example).
3. Use file from the kitchen
Code:
You can select file of your ROM/Theme from drop-down list in file upload section.
We have corrected files for most popular roms/themes.
4. Alternatively you can also use ThemePro to extract it from your Rom.
Before starting editing your framework-res.apk you should make an other copy of it if you want to restore your original framework.
Copy it and rename it as framework-res_ORIGINAL.apk for example.
Then go to http://circle.glx.nl/
Choose the 4th option ("No Battery, theme only")
Click Next
Choose the 2nd option ("Themed icons sets (Froyo roms only)")
Click Next
Click the box(include icons) under EMOTICONS then click preview for you to see the emoticons, after choosing the emoticons you like (i chose B2 all set) leave everything as it is (THIS GUIDE IS FOR CHANGING YOUR EMOTICONS ONLY)

The "Do not change notification status bar" option should be preselected here and again LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT IS.
Click next

Hello everyone in this thread I will show you how to edit your systemUI.apk without using NinjaMorph or apktool.
This is specially for those who have problem working with the above mentioned tools.
Required things:
1. ROM with custom recovery.
2. Custom MOD package like remove dual sim icon or translucent multi window mod for SGG Duos i.e. GT-I9082.

5. Stock / Original SystemUI.apk
Procedure:
After you have all the required things lets begin....
1. Open the SystemUI.apk using Archive Tools.
2. Locate the directory of the file you wish to mod.
Example:
I wanted to modify toggle switches so the directory for me would be "SystemUI.apk: \res\drawable-hdpi\(All toggle switches)".
Now since I wanted to replace toggle switches so I got stylish toggle switches and renamed them as it is present in my SystemUI.apk.
3. Get the mods or extract the file, modify it and create folders to store modified file.
Example:
I modified toggle switches so to store modified toggles I should create folder and sub directories like:
"system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/(Store toggles here)".
Note:
"SystemUI.apk" is the folder name..
4. After storing your mods now open any of the UI mods for SGG GT-I9082 inside this archive you will find few files such as data, system, boot.img, vrthemes etc..

8. In this SystemUI.apk add your "res" which you created earlier with mods.
Note:
In case you don't find SystemUI.apk folder inside the vrtheme archive then drag'n drop the entire SystemUI.apk folder you created into the archive and note that it should be in store only mode do not compress it.
9. Now copy the archive to your sdcard or extsdcard..

[GUIDE][TUTORIAL] Create small flashable zips to restore before applying MODs/Fonts

I originally posted this on the G2 forum, now I am on OnePlus and I realized of course this is the same procedure with a few small differences in file locations, etc, so posting here too.
GUIDE: CREATING SMALL FLASHABLE ZIPs TO RESTORE FILES OR SETTINGS WITHOUT HAVING TO DO FULL NANDROID RESTORE
This will enable you to apply MODs without having to do a FULL NANDROID restore to recover if the MOD fails or if you don't like it
This brief guide will teach you how to create a flashable ZIP file that you can use to restore your phone to pre-MOD settings if you want to revert back or if the MOD simply does not work
WITHOUT having to do a full restore of your phone.​
It is a very good idea to create these backup flashable ZIPs and keep them safe to recover from mishaps or when creating/testing MODs/themes.​
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
As usual: Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any loss of data or functionality on your phone. To be 100% sure, always make a NANDROID backup if you are not 100% certain you can recover.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************​
There are many reasons you might want to do this, for example when testing a MOD for another ROM that is similar to yours but not exactly the same, or when upgrading your ROM to a new version and wanting to re-apply old MODs to test if they work.
There are many ways to get into boot loops or fail to boot, the biggest culprit being fonts installations, but include also bootanimations and others.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Part 1: general
1. Install ZIPme app from playstore
2. Find out which files are being modified by the MOD you are trying to apply, this is usually framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, but be aware that some MODs affect a lot of files. See part 2 for more details on how to do this.
3. If you are applying a font, don't worry, the FONTs section (see part 2) should cover all Fonts.
4. If you are applying a bootanimation, don't worry, the bootanimation section (see part 4) should cover all Bootanimations.
5. For every flashable ZIP you create you can test it straight away by booting into recovery and applying the zip file. There is no reason why it should not work.
Part 2: FONTS
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FOLDER: /system/fonts
- ADD FILE: /system/etc/system_fonts.xml
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 3: MODs that affect framework-res.apk, LGSystemUI.apk or any other app
1. Find out which apks are being modified:
- You should of course read the OP (instructions for the MOD)
- The easiest way to find out modified apks is to download the MOD and open it: the zip file will contain either the apk files themselves or have directories with the names of the apks being modified.
- You can always ask the developer to make sure
2. Once you have a full list of files being affected you can create the flashable zip:
- in ZIPme, simply select "ADD -> File" for every file being affected
- If you have an ODEX ROM (.odex files are present) make sure you pick those too!
- save the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 4: Bootanimations
1. In ZIPme select the following:
- ADD FILE: /system/bin/bootnimation
- ADD FILE: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
2. Create the flashable zip in an /sdcard location you can access from recovery
Part 5: Other flashable files you should always keep handy
1. Always keep with you the following files for good measure: they don't take much space but can help recover from problems without having to fully restore from NANDROID backup
- original kernel from your ROM
- flashable bootloader (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable baseband (if you do not know what I am talking about then DON'T do it)
- flashable recovery image (TWRP, etc)
- "Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip": this is created by Xposed when you install it. It is located in the root folder of your sdcard. Copy it and put it somewhere safe.
- SuperSU: keep a flashable latest SuperSU with you to recover root
Any comments, suggestions, feedback are welcome
