[Q] Edit Quickpic ?

i want to edit Quickpic's default icon and also the application name. i want to make it my default photo viewer instead of gallery3d. so can anyone help ??
In short i want to change the name and icon of Quickpic so that if i open my app drawer it should show Gallery instead of quickpic...
sorry for poor english

Decompile with apktool, go to res > drawable folder and replace the quickpic icon with the gallery one. It should be named icon.png or ic_launcher.png. Remember to keep the same name.
Next, go to res > values and open the strings.xml with notepad++.
Change this:
Code:
<string name="app_name">Quickpic</string>
into this:
Code:
<string name="app_name">Gallery</string>
Save, compile with apktool and install on your phone (remove the old one).
EDIT: Gonna try myself. If I make it I will post it here.

thanks...i will try it ...you also try

Made it but haven't tested yet.

tried all the things still it says application not installed...also deleted the old gallery still no hope

Did you try mine? I meant delete the old quickpic, not the gallery app.

Unpack both pakages you will get three files, copy those files to your Windows directory i.e. C:\WINDOWS
there are not three files...there are many files in that tar.bz file
could you please give me a detail explanation on how to do that ?? sorry i am a total noob

Dude, No need to said that.
You good enough to trying to help

So after unpacking it to Windows, what now? Where does it go, how do I open it?

Run CMD, type apktool and hit enter. If there's output, you have installed it properly. Close CMD and reopen it. Go here for a tutorial.
This is only for changin the name of the app. You can change the icon easily with 7zip or something similar.

maybe you have to sign the apk..

Does it works with CM9 4.04 by codeworkx?
Edited: It works

Thanks a lot.
Restart - delete, re-copy work for me.. kind of weird.. hmm

it worked
for me it worked, thanks.

guys ive faced the 'stoped' problem and here's what i did to fix it....
1. Delete it if its still installed and restart your phone.
2. Copy it to 'system/app' and change permissions to rw-r-r
3. Now go back to the location of svoice installer 'svoice-signed.apk' and install it over the existing one.
4. Done. no more stops problem.

Does is still work when i remove the root when i installed s voice apk??

many thanks for it!

what about improving these settings a little?
I tried these settings.apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526925 and found out that battery usage on main screen works well. So you could copy it to ur version.
And to my mind, you should erase wifi and bluetooth turn off/on in "more" which is under "bluetooth", just because it is on main screen
If u find some time, i will be happy I ask for it, because in that settings from link there are some unnecessary options like "4g" etc...

i dont have too much time now,but in the weekend i will check it

Dont take it like i want to hurry you but... on which weekend?

Uh, this settings.apk is themeable? The themes of CM7 will work on it? =)

sorry almost every day is exam day now in my school and i needed to reinstall my windows cause of some blue screen so adb and apktool has gone.When i got enough free time i will do it

hahaha, ok ;p i'll try to be more patient...
Of course i tried to do it by myself, but im too stupid

i started like you thinkand i realized that it's not hard

So.. i have too much free time, so i decided to try once again, but now i succeed in it !
Here is what i've changed:
- added "battery" in "device" category
- erased "battery usage" from "device info" as it is in main screen
- erased "wifi settings" and "bluetooth settings" from "more..." as it is in main screen (and i wanted "more..." screen to be shorter)
- made better translation for polish language (for myself of course ;p)
I encountered a problem, cause battery icon is just too small, if someone can provide better one, it would be great :>
And i've tried to add wifi and bt toggles to main screen, with copying smali files too, but it didnt work when compiling apk, dont know why.
And i can't make flashable zip, sorry xd Just push settings.apk to system/app and change permissons to -rw-r--r--
Of course thanks to you lowert, i used your base and balambu96 for his guide.

of course can, but probably you will see "cyanogenmod settings" in main screen, which will force close when you click on it :/ If u really want, i can erase it from lowert settings, and then you shouldnt have any problems

[GUIDE] How to make live wallpapers to work on custom roms

Some custom roms dont have the live wallpaper function enabled....Actually the file to make it work is deleted along with other files to make roms bareboned.
This is a guide to enable live wallpapers on those roms....
NOTE: Its not a very complex thing, rather quite simple and easy and nothing new.....but i found so many noobs and beginners with this problem. So I decided to come up with a guide.
Steps:
1. Download the attachment (LiveWallpapersPicker.apk), Put it on your SD.
2. Use a root explorer and move the file to "system/apps"
3. After moving the file long press on the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and select permissions from the menu, then set permissions as rw-r-r- (see screenshot)
Download your favourite live wallpaper, apply it and enjoy

the attached file is for galaxy ace (or may be for Gingerbread)
if you have different phone or you are on higher version of android....pick the apk from your stock ROM and replace it with the current one and set permission.

Hi
I hope you get this. I have a galaxy gear all rooted and with null 15 rom. I have everything set as per your directions. In fact it was already preset that way including permissions. Nothing works. I'm really just trying to get bubbles running with no luck either. Any other possable sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Also do you happen to know what I can do to unblock bluetooth tether on my t889 note 2 . Thank you

hi. thanks for this tutorial. however when trying to apply a wallpaper the app crashes. ..
I'm running android 4.2.1
any help with this?
thanks!

nevermind , got the correct apk and now good to go, thanx!

same problem...
Any help with this again?
I was able to get it to work before, but now just fc.
Can't figure it out.
JB 4.2.1 (I think I have the right apk)
If anyone knows where to find the exact match, please post the link, as maybe this is the problem?
Pushed to system, changed perms etc.
I do notice that the LWP option under wallpapers is with "apps" not in a separate section as I remember it to be...
The only other thing I can figure is flashing a zip through recovery, but I don't see any zips for a LWP...
Doing this for my wife, as I got me a new device, help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

USB3 is great upgrade, a lot faster data transfers between computer and phone.

Hi, avetny, if I just root my F340L would I be able to install your mod? As I can see from the screenshots, you made statusbar trasparent, too, right?
Thank you.

Here you buddy. This is not flashable. Just extract abs drop in/system/app. By the way i think if you just replaced the odex file you would keep the mod, but fix the fc.

Edit: Titanium made very worse things well. I dont know whats wrong with your files but you should add an BIG RED WARNING to backup data first, if you dont want to make people angry with your stuff...

A couple things. First, what model are you using. Second, since I'm the only one who posted a fix I assume that part about it not working was to me.... So the file I uploaded was for the guy using the T-Mobile device, if yours isn't it won't work for you. Finally, and pay attention please. there is no need for him to put a red backup your data warning. That is ALWAYS the first step when you're modding your phone. That is one that doesn't need to be stated and you feel it does I highly suggest you hold off with further mods until we have a recovery.
