Hi friends,
I completely followed the tutorial give in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700749&page=191
Before that I rooted my phone and also installed CWM5 Recovery too.
Now the problems I am facing are:-
Messaging app not working, says "Could not launch the requested activity"
Apocalypse UOT not working
I am attaching the screenshots for reference, please help; I couldn't reply on development thread
For the message problem, it is because apocalypse is a barebone rom which means that some system app like mms.apk and camera.apk are remove to make the rom lighter. But this SMS problem can be solved easily by downloading a SMS app like GO sms or by putting back the mms.apk back into the system/app folder and set the permissions correctly (rw- r-- r--). As for the theme, just apply and ignore the missing assets pop up. Hope it helped you

Thanks bro, I was in process of restoring old apps and yes, SMS is working now. I can't find inbuilt camera app, installed camera 360, but that doesn't support recording. Could you suggest one that will work with this ROM?
As for camera and video recording I don't have any recommendations but go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761840
And I am sure there will be a camera.apk attached to one of the post there.
You can install it by putting the camera.apk in the system/app folder and setting the correct permissions rw- r-- r--.
Am glad to help
Edit: if you cannot find it, go to the third page of the thread and look for a post by amrith.28 he have the camera.apk attached to his post.

Thanks a lot bro. I want to remove the included recording app, but getting no option to do that :s Also, some of the apps got installed, others are giving error maybe because of permission thing you talked about. Is there a guide I should follow?
Thanks

For those permissions, download any explorer (e.g root explorer) and go to system/app and long press on the app that you want to change the permissions and then a pop-up will appear. After that, scroll to permission. Click on it and set the permission like that rw- r-- r-- and then reboot your phone. Screenshots of how to do it below: sorry for replying that late

Sounds cool, I did install root explorer earlier today, will try what you told me One doubt, will this method remove the app completely? I mean like in windows we have certain registry entries, that remain if we delete program files; isn't there anything like that in linux (me linuxnoob)?

See whitefang3456s comment about which apk it is, then simply extract it to your computer then browse the drawables folders and it will become apparent which images you need to change, and you don't need to decompile either so the task is quite simple.

+1. Thanks for helping @XperienceD
@dreamville, U may need:
1. 7zip filemanager to extract, zip to archive APK
2. Adobe PS or Paint.net to edit PNG image for emoji icons
3. Formatter link here to format. zip extension file into. APK extension.
And yes. No need decompile or mess with Binary scripts
Hope helps

Not sure why you need to use that as, just right click and "open with" should be enough.

Some APK files aren't allowed to replace without being extracted or used by APK Manager. In the sametime, changing format of zipped files usually saved more spaces compared to original files

I browsed around the drawables folder, and didn't find any of the emoji. Can anyone shed some light on what folder they might be in, thanks.
I was looking in framework-res.apk btw.
Can someone do this for the Xperia Z? Where are the emoji?
For Xperia Z JB 4.2.2
Mods have been updated to replace only the png files of the signal status and battery in your systemui.apk instead of replacing the whole file. This will prevent any incompatibility problems that a few experienced before due to the different framework between stock and custom roms.
Would like to give credit to Drummerjed for kindly offering his help in fixing the files. You can check out his boot animation here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391604&nocache=1.
3 Different mods:
One with IOS7 Signal status and BLUE Honami battery, GREEN Honami battery and WHITE Honami Battery.
As always, please make a backup of your rom before flashing zips.
Based on post by LitoNi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409210) but has 3 soft-key buttons instead of 5.

For those of you who want 3 soft-keys.
* IOS style signal status
* Blue battery (Green when charging)
* Soft-keys same as on Honami rom (3 standard buttons, Slightly smaller than stock.... I think it's either 32ppi or 36ppi).
Sorry, but don't have extra time for requests. Just thought others might be interested so posting.

Try wiping dalvik cache. It will reset your wallpaper but you can always change it back.
If all else fails you can extract systemui.apk and copy it manually via root explorer or something and change permissions. If your phone resets automatically make sure you fix permissions in recovery before it reboots.

I did it (moved to system, added permissions, moved to system/app), them I wiped cache and dalvic. When phone turned on, there were no statusbar or navbar. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe it's only for Honami framework?

Just confirming t's not a typo but it should be under /system/app/
If doing manually, permissions to be changed after it's been copied to directory by file manager or recovery.
Also, I assume that your on JB 4.2.2?
Should work for both the latest updates .423 & .244. Honami is based on stock so shouldn't be an issue if your not using the Honami rom.
I'm guessing you need to correctly set permissions if copying manually. It should be: -rw -r -r (just check other apps in /system/app folder).

Thanks for correcting me.
No way of doing so: if you move directly to system/app, phone will shut down immediately. After changing permissions in system folder it will stay if you move it to subfolder. I was doing so with every manually installing mod.
And yes, I'm on latest firmware by RomAur (based on 244)
I'm pretty sure that I gave rw r r permissions (644), but I'll try again.

Tried modding the png files. Problem is that once you increase the size there are overlaps with the other graphics so it will look like there is something wrong.

Hmmm, that's wierd. I tested it on Honami rom and backup of latest stock firmware and works fine.
Not sure if it would make a difference but you could try fix permissions and wipe dalvik cache in recovery?
Alright I do not have odex working according to ArchEnemy', which is where I modded his version.
As of now, I cannot get center clock to work with 3 navi keys, only 5 keys. Ive tried editing the basic status bar file but I might be editing the wrong one, therefore im waiting for his reply to and hopefully to get it working with 3 navi keys.
If anyone who cant wait and doesnt mind the 5 navi keys (ive made the power key and the menu key invisible, it is still there, you just cant see it), you can try flashing the file below. Remember to back up your rom fully, just in case anything happens.

could you please tell me how to change it with nova launcher? I am also using nova but don't know the procedure to change the icons
I downloaded an app called Icon Finder Plus, then I chose an icon and save it to my phone. Exit the icon app, Then long press the button you want to change and it should come up with, (move/resize/edit). hit the edit and then the picture, then choose the icon you want and your done.

Yep sure. Basically all of the softkey images are PNG files stored inside SystemUI.apk. And it's really straight forward if you just want to replace PNG files such as battery, signal and softkey icons.
There are two ways, you can either decompile SystemUI.apk and replace the PNGs inside (harder, time consuming method) or use a program called 7zip to open the apk archive and replace the PNGs (easier, quick method).
I used the second method to replace the softkeys. Here's how to do it:
*Always backup in recovery before modifying files*
Install 7zip
Right click SystemUI.apk and select 7zip -> Open archive
You'll see a few files/folders, open 'res' then 'drawable-xxhdpi' you'll see lots of PNG files
The ones I replaced were 'ic_sysbar_home.png' and 'ic_sysbar_home_land.png'
Drag these two files to the Desktop and open them with Photoshop or any image editing software
Erase the existing image and replace with any other desired logo/icon and save (remember the background must be kept transparent)
Drag the edited files back into the SystemUI.apk archive (res->drawable-xxhdpi)
Then copy the edited SystemUI.apk back to your phone, then move it to /system, change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then move it to /system/app and overwrite when prompted (your phone will probably reboot, it's normal)
That's it!

That won't work as it might require some extra files (.jar .xml etc)
