Is it possible to change the name of the apps? Like I am having Merriam Webster Unabridged and Medical too.. But the two apps are shown as "Medical" n "Unabridged" which has moved the apps in the app drawer to different positions.. I want to add "Merriam Webster" in front of their names.. Is it possible?

You should create a folder and put those apps in there. They'll be right next to each other.
If you have apk of that app, you can unpack it using apktool (search on google) .. change it's name in xml file, pack it back, sign and install it to phone.

With FolderOrganizer you can customize the name. You go into the program, and rename the app you want. Then instead of adding the app directly to the desktop, you press and hold, and add a shortcut, a FolderOrganizer shortcut, then choose the app you just renamed.
You can also customize the icon this way.

Can you plz tell which xml file are you talking about.. There is one androidmanifest.xml file.. But I cant find where to change the name.. Is it the correct file you were talking about?

Really, give FolderOrganizer a try. It is a very simple way to do it. You are trying to use a sledgehammer when a screwdriver would do.
I think FolderOrganizer will be perfect for what you need.
Enabled landscape mode
Two versions: Full transparent or semi-transparent app drawer
Install as regular apk or copy to /system/app folder

I guess it will. You may have to uninstall existing stock launcher first. Just make sure you have another launcher installed when you remove it

Hi
would you share with us. Would be nice.
@lonestride
I think no but haven't tested it.
I think after installation you have to push the home button. Then you will get
a screen which launcher you will use.

love the stock launcher

Thanks for ur response... but i seem to have used all the apktools available... i can recompile the "-res.apk" but when i put it back to \system\framework ... the UI FCs and the notification bar doesnot load.
unfortunately od has stopped. >> is the message i get when i put the modified "-res.apk".
i have noticed one thing that the recompiled apk doesnot have META-INF folder... although i tried to copy it and gave a try but still no go...
what i am trying to do is using a themed apk like lidroid or crikelos res .. decompile .. change some text under the toggle buttons ...
what am i doing wrong... ?
hmm... have you tried setting back the permissions on your modified -res.apk in /system/framework? Mounting it before hand?
If you have, you may indeed try to ask some devs or someone who knows their way in recompiling apks as this is a sensitive matter to touch with and I'm moderately more on contributing stuffs rather than delving into the internal programmings on the android ecosystem.
hmmm.. i have changed permissions as well still... Thanks for taking the time out

Go to apkyool.yml
Edit with notepad++
And below
-1
Add -2
So it would look like
-1
-2
Then compile it lidroid-res again
Also make sure you have twframework-res.apk
And framework-res.apk installed

Only sign lidroid if you have signed every apk in your rom
I normally do this
Decompile apk
Make changes
Compile apk
Go to original apk
Press right
7-zip
Open as archive
Delete res
Delete resources.arsc
Leave the 7-zip archive open
Go to
The decompiled folder
Go to build/apk
Copy all except androidmanifest.xml to the archive
Then its done you have an apk

Will the changes be applied to the whole OS I mean the theme of other apps like root explorer will also change or what ?
Because root explorer uses the default theme of android it looks different on different ROMS

I think that while you use tw, it will be the same for apps like root explorer, my files and so on. some of the roms are themed so that may be why it looks different. can't really say as I prefer just plain stock, and even with holo launcher hd it uses the tw colors when opening apps.

Since you edited the SecPhone.apk check the in-call Dailer. And you don't have to create a flashable zip, you can just push file to /system
In call_dailer_press.9.PNG refers to the pressed button and in call_keypad_BG_01.PNG refers to the keypad I've edited only the later one but changes just don't show up this is the first time I've encountered such an error...

Yes, first decompile your systemUI.apk.
Extract the image status_bar_hr.9.png from the attached zip and move it in SystemUI\res\drawable-xhdpi.
Recompile and zipalign your SystemUI.
It's done
Beware, don't introduce status_bar_hr.9.png straightly in systemUI.apk by the winrar method, it won't work cause it's a 9.png. You must first decompile... and then recompile!
