hi guys today i'm here to show you the easyest way to theme your apk without using a pc.
I'm doing this because i don't have my pc now and i'm a little bit bored xD
prerequisites:
-rooted device
-root explorer
-zipsigner (free on play store)
ok LET'S GO!!
1) go to the desired apk and rename it from "apkname.apk" to "apkname.apk.zip" using root explorer (apkname is the name of your application e.g. whatsapp.apk->whatsapp.apk.zip)
2) extract zip using root explorer and you will get a folder with the extracted files inside.
3) go to the extracted folder and change the pics you want
4) be sure to rename the pics with the original name (if i want to change an apk's image called app_logo.png i will have to pick an image and copy it to the extracted folder in res/drawable folder,once here i have to paste the image and rename it into app_logo.png)
5) once you finished replacing the images go back until you see a folder called meta-inf,res,lib,assets etc etc... and press menu button,select all the items and zip all the files,rename the zip into apkname.apk
6) navigate to sdcard/speedsoftware/zip and you will see your zipped file,now rename it from apkname.apk.zip to apkname.apk
7)try to install your modded apk, if it doesn't install open zipsigner and as input file select your modded apk,as output file re-select your modded apk (rename it into signedapkname.apk if you want) then tap on the box to the bottom called "sign the file"
8) once signed install your modded apk using any file manager
ENJOY!

You mean "resources.arsc" ...
This file contains pre-compiled resources, such as binary XML(values, layouts and dimens... etc) for example,
and to edit this file you must decompile the apk using apktool.jar via PC only (can't be dicompiled/compiled via phone environment)

nope, that way you can only replace png's, to edit rgb values (stored in colors.xml) you still have to decompile it with apktool...

Does anyone know which icon pack this is in the dock bar, and whether it would work on LP Plus?
They are from the GO launcher. You can extract them from the GO Launcher apk.
How do I do that?

Download the apk from the market, put it on your sdcard with root explorer or something, transfer it to your PC, rename the .apk to .zip and open it to get all the images.
What file do i put them in after i get them ?
What are the pngs names for these 4 icons in the go launcher zip.

Don't worry! Just download the stock rom, unzip the file, copy the 2 required files from system > app -folder, and paste in your sd card and install! Hope this helped. Hit " Thanks " if I did!
Not work, please upload file

you must make flashable zip file and install from recovery. if you have Clock work recovery upload your files( 2 file apk and odex) i make patch for this.
how to find files: open your rom MD5 file with WinRAR(open not extract) drag and drop system.rfs file anyway. open rfs file with "ultra iso" or "magic iso" find LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.odex files and drag and drop in your desktop.
I wanted to know that how can we extract an apk from an installed app.?? :what:
apk = app
Did you mean you want the original 'installer' ?
- Back up the app using 'app backup restore', download it from the play store.
Did you mean you want to extract the app(apk) for editing purpose ?
- Use APK Manager or APK Edit
Free app called astro file manager
Use it to backup all installed apps
A folder called backups will be created and here you go all the apk's you want
Easy as waking up in the morning
Just kidding, much easier

3. Open framework-res.apk with winrar go to folder /res/anim
4. go to the folder you extracted the anim select all files and drag them to framework-res.apk in winrar

EDIT: ADDED
Do they work on stock sense rom? I mean, i once replaced the calculator from system/app. After the replacement, it did not detect the apk, not even the original (backuped) apk. So i had to system restore. Can you tell me definite steps for putting the animations? + i dont have any existing anim folder, so do i just copy in it?

hello Guys hope you can help me with an Problem:
I wanted to change the Colors of the Icons in the Status Bar so i copied over systemUI.APK to my PC via ES-Data Explorer.
I extracted the ZIP and Coloreed the Logos (Didnt change anything just Colored)
then i got 2 Framework APK ( com.htc.resources.APK and framework-res-htc.APK) and used this APK TOOL: Apktool if xxxx.APK (the two apks from framework)
then i decompiled the SystemUI.APK with APK Tool and replaced the ICONS (which i edited before from an usual extracted APK)
now when i want to compile it again it gives me an error at every Icon which i edited.
Hope you can help me, It worked on my samsung galaxy s2 though.
Ah And not to forget: Of Course im S-OFF and Rooted.
