my question is add another language for title icon (i.e. italian) or change the title icon properly (i.e. flash light to flashlight).

You can try to recompile it, use and learn the tutorial on ApkTool (credits to memnoc) from this link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511730

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

Hey guys, the ICS styled settings.apk has an option "Launcher" which directs you to the home launcher settings directly.After exploring the XMLs I have found that we can change the home launcher app.But, I want to remove the option totally. I have tried editing .smali files too but in all seriousness, I have no idea what to edit. Any help would be appreciated.

The keep folder contains the stock files unchanged..So if you changed a smali in your project folder you'll have to delete the classes.dex in the keep folder,if you changed xml you'll have to delete the resources.arsc in the keep folder..

Short answer: yes
Long answer: you can extract smali classes from .odex files too but better don't mess with odexed apps, apktool do it automatically for .apk files but it wont work for odexed apps becouse all the classes are in .odex file outside the apk, the deodexed apk contains all the classes in a .dex file inside the apk and that is what apktool is looking for

It is boring to see the same ugly Android error page over and over.
Because of that, i made a weberror theme pack.
Before:
After:
Download ZIP
Instructions: Open the ZIP and replace the files from framework-res.apk with the files in the ZIP
Warning:
- Always do an backup.
You can integrate this theme pack in your ROM/Theme, if you want.
But please mention me in the description ^^

This looks awesome, but I seem to not fully understand the instructions. Do I go into system>framework then extract framework-res.apk to replace the existing folders with those in your zip?

Yes.. First, decompile your framework-res.apk and then overwrite the files on framework-res.apk with the files from the zip and recompile it after they are replaced.. And then put the modded one back..
i wish that may help you..
