[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.

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..

Update: 29-April-2012

I have attached a new zip, give it a try. I am not sure if it will work or not. I am not much good at creating flashable zips.

Added new screenshots

Flashable zip doesnt work, need to replace settings.apk (I recommend rename it to settings.apk1 for backup, then copy the new settings.apk, I srly recommend ES file explorer, Its free and no need to change/fix permissions).
Thank you!
Any bugs we should be aware of? I read in other threads (ICS settings in CM7) that manual brigthnessdidnt work and FCs, and another minor bug with location and security, I dont have these issues with this version, brightness work as it should and no FCs... the only thing I dont like its the "Battery use" takes you to the ugly ass battery history from "dev tools" I think... any way to change it to the real battery use located in "settings/About phone/battery use"

Does any one knows the android target class for the battery use in about phone.
for ex:- android:targetClass="com.android.settings.wifi.Wif iSettings"
I need the line marked in red.
And for the flashable zip, I gave it a couple of tries but I wasnt successful in creating one, maybe someone could take a view on the updater-script and let me know what I did wrong.

Sorry for the late response, it should be one of these:
com.android.settings.fuelgauge.powerusagesummary => I think is this one, don't remember
com.android.settings.fuelgauge.powerusagedetail
com.android.settings.BatteryInfo => I think it goes here right now...
com.android.settings.fuelgauge.powerusagedetail => Or maybe here, this one sucks
Sorry I don't know witch is witch but I can't see right now my phone is unenviable due to "rebirth"
------------------------------------
Alright tested, its the first one, the second one its the same as clicking the graphic. If you can change it to the new location I would be very very happy

It was made for O2X and no one using O2X is having the problem. And also the battery menu is included since its there in ICS too, just to make it similar to ICS settings.

And also this mod is made almost 4 months ago, when u flash it its replacing the settings.apk. I am pretty sure during this 4 months CM must have made improvements to settings.apk, so there for by flashing this mod u r replacing the new settings.apk with an old one.

ok i understand but dont you update it? or just please make one with deleted battery menu so i can use it

Anyone please correct me if Im wrong...

I need to remove the list not because of space but because I have only edit default language (english) and Malay language files when modding rom.
Other language will not work correctly when using it. It will lack some strings.

As Prawesome said : decompile all apks and framework,remove values-** these are the translations
same with shaaan said, so try it.. i will try next week for this, phadly if im not mistaken yes all inside system/app = decompile then edit by removing values-**(lang to be remove).
shaaan is it include framework-res?

Yes. You need to decompile every single apk, including framework and delete the values-* folders. The * represents the language. But be cautious when recompiling the app, as it will give errors if not done properly. And one incorrectly compiled app will result in either FC or bootloop.

[GUIDE]Theming your phone by editing PNG'S(framework-res.apk)

So friends, here is a quick and easy guide for changing the status bar icons of your Gingerbread(Actually any phone )
For those who don't know how to do it(for anyone actually :highfive
Theory
Android is the awesome platform which is easily configurable and is able of being edited very easily
The icons used in every app and Android framework are located as png images in apk of those respective apps in location:-
*.apk/res/drawable-ldpi (in my case, as our phone is ldpi)
So, we can change any icon of our status bar like battery, signal, (not clock[clock is to be configures in SystemUI.apk{will post how to change it shortly}]), etc by editing png's in framework-res.apk
Not even that, you can edit images of any app as I told you
There are several ways to decompile and compile apk in which we have made change
If we want full access of apk and want to change every thing like the xml's in it and smali content in jar files, then we would have to do it on computer by apktool or apkmanager
But, we are here to only change image, so we would not go in detail of apktool or apkmanager. For changing images, that can be very easily done even on the phone by an app NinjaMorph that is made for developers by our senior head and DEVELOPING LEGEND Stephen(Stericson)
But be careful as backing up the original file if you do something wrong
And as you all know any developer or even a newbie posting something interesting that you want to try WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for your mobile blowing up, resting in peace, sleeping like a dead, behaving like a non-living BRICK, or anything whatsoever that may or may not happen to phone in this universe or any other universe known or unknown
What to do if anything happened to my mobile
We have had a backup of your original file so we can restore it
But if while editing the system files like framework-res.apk
If you deleted some un-backed up apk's
Well you can always have backup of your ROM and that is why Koushik Datta has made clockworkmod Recovery
You can restore your ROM from there
Pre-Requisites
Patience
Mind
A Android (A spare one if you brick your phone, just kidding)
Root access(to change the apk)
NinjaMorph(http://bit.ly/ninjamorph)
Root Explorer(Optional)(http://bit.ly/stericson)
GUIDE
So Let's Start
Download NinjaMorph. Install it and give it root access. It will prompt for starting checks. Click on start checks.
Now you would have three options, namely, New Project, Finish Project, Existing Project
Click on new project. Go to system/framework/ and click on framework-res.apk. It will start extracting files
Once it has extracted all the files, it will open to show you what is inside framework-res.apk.
Exit it and go to your file explorer.
Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk
This is what is inside apk. Go to res/drawable-ldpi folder
There you will see hundreds of icons of your menu, lockscreen, battery, signal, and everything
You can edit them and replace them as you want. But the name of the file you are replacing and size and dimension must be equal to the file you are replacing with(I recommend Googling and finding icons of battery, signal, and other things)[I have even used hdpi icons, there was no problem]
If you download a theme file which is to be flashed in recovery that is not for your phone, no problem, extract the zip and place its framework-res.apk in your sdcard and extract the apk with Ninjamorph. Replace your icons with its icons and TADA
After you have done replacing the icons and you are satisfied(I am never)
Go to NinjaMorph. Click on Fininsh Projects. Click on framework-resapk. It will recompile and ask to replace the original apk with modded one. Click OK
Then it will ask if you want to remove the completed project, Say No(As you would need it if something gets wrong)
Reboot your phone
Maximum chances are that your icons will be replaced. Rare cases have their status bar gone or no change, if so:-
Download(Buy) Root Explorer. Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace,
There you will see framework-res.apk. Copy it and go to /system/framework
Mount as R/W
Paste the apk. If it asks that file already exists, overwrite it.
SET PERMISSIONS
Long click on framework-res.apk and click on permissions
You will see three columns
Read Write Execute
You have to set them in the following way
x means you have to tick it
blank means uncheck
Read Write Execute
.....x........x.................
.....x...........................
.....x...........................
Click OK
You will see it as rw-r--r--
Reboot
Do it over again if nothing happens
Enjoy
This way you can edit not only framework-res.apk but any apk
