[MODS] AOSP mdpi Lockscreen Ring Mods - Android Themes

Bored of the same old crappy lock icon in CM10/AOSP Roms?!​
Well Look no further, these icons will change the Lock icon to a selection of custom images, made by me :3​
Code:
I am not responsible for anything at all, if you brake your phone, your problem not mine, but i will help because i'm a nice guy!
These will probably only work on AOSP roms, but i have only tested these myself on CM10 w CRT and they work flawlessly, no lag, nothing like that! So enjoy using them guys :3​
Okay so now on how to install you desired ring, it is not as easy as just flashing the zip in recovery, plainly because, their is no zip for you to flash :highfive: Haha, so you need to make some edits to your Framework-res.apk instead until i can be bothered to make a flashable zip for these
First Thing you guys need to do is find your framework-res.apk, i'm sure you allknow where it is but just incase i'll tell you :3 It is Located in the Desired Rom Zip under System>framework>and there it is! I personally would extract it to my desktop and leave it there for later :3​
**********​
The second thing your gonna wanna do is Decompile or find any way in which you like to extract the res folder that is inside the .apk, again, i'd extract this to my Desktop again because it's an easy place to put it :3​
**********​
The next thing your gonna need to do is press Thanks on this post to unlock the download Just kidding but, yeah, What you gotta do is download my zip of mods, have a browse of them until you find the one you like, and extract the two images in the Resized folder to, you guessed it, the desktop You can use the other images outside the folder but the image will be bigger (HDPI)​
**********​
So Now you've got the two chosen images on your desktop, navigate into the res folder you extracted earlier and navigate to drawable-mdpi, this is all the images and stuff that make parts of your phone, i'd leave most of this alone unless you know what you doing​
**********​
Now drag and drop the two custom images into the drawable-mdpi folder and allow the files to be overwritten, now put the res folder back into the framework-res.apk and recompile it or do just whatever method it is you like to get the custom res folder back into the .apk​
**********​
Now, you can either put the framework apk back into the rom zip, and reflash it with your custom lockring, however this is time consuming, and takes longer, can cause errors blah blah blah, you get the idea, so instead just copy the apk to your SD card and use a root browser to copy it​
**********​
Once the custom framework-res.apk is copied, simply paste it in the system>framework>HERE of your phone, accept the overwrite, your phone will immediately reboot and this is okay, it will then boot up, and your lockscreen ring will change :3​
**********​
Example of the kinds of rings you can have and what they look like on our Device ​
However i only have three, because that's all i took screenies of, the first two are ones that wernt resized, but the third one is :3

[Lockscreen-Theme] SystemForce3 by Prash [Change lockscreen on ANY theme!]

This will work with *ANY* theme that has the Stericson's lockscreen on it. All you have to do is flash it using the easy new (and AWESOME) method of flashing theme files made by Stericson, Kastro and Riku called MetaMorph:
To flash simply put Prash-SystemForce3-Stericson-Lockscreen.zip into the "AndroidThemes" directory then go into terminal type the following:
Code:
su
mm.sh -i
Then follow the prompt. Select #2, then select my lockscreen theme file, then once its done press 1 to select the frameworks-apk and hit enter to flash.
REBOOT is necessary after this.
Find out more info at the MetaMorph thread.
Anywho: here is a screenshot of what you should have when everything is done:

I'm working on doing the Melange Theme this way... your help will be greatly appreciated Sir Prash...
It's actually super easy, just grab that theme example from Metamorph thread and just replace the images and add folders you want to include. Its all done with images only. Same folder structures but nothing else needed.
Just pm me if you need help with anything, more themers need to start using metamorph, its amazing. You don't need to make any more rom dependant themes..you can basically use metamorph to flash any themes on any roms.

Editing TouchWiz30Launcher.apk

I need a help. Please look at this topic
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523&highlight=touchwiz
This man and many others people on XDA-forum editing TouchWiz app. Original homescreen by Samsung. They are changing icons, adding backgrounds etc etc. Please could anyone help me or anyone know how to do that? This app - TouchWiz30Launcher.apk - is in system/apps. How or in which program I could edit for example icons or add new dock to bottom? Anybody know?
Please for all. Could anyone help me with this?
ok first you have to be on jpy firmware then you have to take the twlauncher30.apk from the thread you referenced and you need to be rooted an use root explorer to install to your phone by backing up the existing .apk and .odex (rename see instructions in other thread) and then overwritting it with the one from that thread.
the one from that thread is de-odexed so you can edit the .png (icons) using microsoft photo editor or something else and then replace the .png directly in the .apk file with 7zip.. then you can put modified .apk on phone in sameway..
here is my modified version with a modified "bender" launcher icon

}
Ok i learned this now but where I can change norification bar? In which app? Also in TouchWiz30Launcher.apk?
notification bar is in framwork-res.apk in system/framework..
same method using 7zip to change icons and then put back on phone with root explorer.. after putting back on phone stuff will start crashing and you should reboot.. (may need to pull battery).. make sure you have backups of originals.
notification pulldowns (not the bar) are much more comlicated and you have to change .jar files in the system as well.
Many thanks =) Changing icons in notification bar looks quite hard Is there any easier method?
what i did is find some other rom or custom rom you like and get the framwork-res.apk from that (you know you can just unzip the .apk and then use windows explorer to browser the directories to see all icons at once)
then you can open your framework-res with 7zip and the one with icons you like in another instance of 7zip and then just cut and past the icons (they need to be the same name... as some have additional icons and that entails decompiling and changing .xml files and recompiling and resigning.. much more complicated)... anyway just cut and paste directly from one 7zip into the other (your modifed framework-res from your curent firmware on your phone) then put it back on your phone.

[Q] Custom phone answer screen

Is it possible to create your own answer screen ?? I have a bad ass idea and I would like to get to work on it but IDK if anyone has done it yet, I've tried searching but no luck with finding anything for anyone who has Galaxy S captivate. I hate the stock answer screen its so damn boring...
I believe what you're looking for would be in /system/phone.apk (or possibly in /system/dialeractivitytab.apk). Try tearing one of those apart and see what you can come up with.

I'm a little new at this by "tearing" you mean unzip?? I am going to look in those folders and try just that.
It is gonna be in the phone.apk
You can approach it two ways:
1. If you want to just do image editing, use 7zip and extract the apk's into new directories. Edit the images (probably in /res/drawable-hdpi), and then put them back into the original .apk file with 7zip.
2. Using a tool like apktool or apkmanager, decompile the apk. Then edit the files in the directories it creates, and recompile the apk.
Has anyone been successful at changing this?? --->

Well if anyone wants to know here is an image of it slapped together, I really just slapped it on LOL if anyone would like to be a part of this I would gladly accept the help.
Well to further explain my idea if anyone wants to take it up, the image of the contact would appear on the left and no image on the right just fuzzy as if bad reception like
before answering would look like this, of course instead of codec would be a phone number >
After reading everything I wont be able to do this until I get a new PC and that wont be for a good while :/ (my laptop is too crappy)

[Guide] Making Beweather icon pack

Several people have asked me how i change my beweather icons. In fact in my litttle dev group im the bewather guy lmao (inside joke nevermind). So, here is a guide on how to make your own icon pack for beweather.
If some of you do now know what Beweather is, it is a FANTASTIC weather app. I have been using it for a while, even back when i was in my Blackberry days. Here is the link to the page telling you more about the Beweather app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211903
Items needed
Fist, make sure you have 7-zip installed on your computer. If you do not then search for it on google, download, then install.
Next download any icon pack from beweather. OR for now go ahead and download one of my latest ones here. http://d-h.st/pml
How to:
Now its time to get down to business.
Create a new folder on your desktop called...well whatever. Keep it called New Folder for all i care.
The icon packs are in a .bwi format. Locate the .bwi file on your computer and right click on it. Move your mouse cusor down to 7-zip, then select Open Archive. Basically this allows you to edit the file (including zips and apks) without unzipping or decompliling. Select all the icons and drag them over to that New Folder you created on your desktop. Now you will be able to open the icons and edit them.
Edit the icons: Basically just do that lol. Use your favorite program like gimp, Microsoft Paint, or my favorite Photoshop to open the pic and edit it. Make sure you save the icon back to the same name it originally was.
When you are done editing your icons, go back to the .bwi file and use 7-zip to open the archive once again. Now that the archive is open, go ahead and open back up the New Folder you created. You should have both folders open now. Select all the icons from the new folder and drag them into the Archive of 7-zip. A box with pop up asking if your sure you was to copy files to that file...select YES. WARNING: anytime you use this method you MUST be sure that the files your adding are NAMED THE SAME or it wont work right.
Now that your done moving icons, You can rename the file to anything you want by right clicking on the .bwi file and selecting Rename. Just be sure to keep it a .bwi file.
Congrats! You now have a new icon pack! Call you Mom and make her proud that instead of doing something useful, you spent time making weather icons...
To install the icons simply move them to the Beweather folder on your sd card.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!

Note :
I made this for my device so it is for 720×1280 pixel devices.
But if you like it then I will make it for different resolution devices or you can do it yourself with the help of Image Resizer. (Extract the zip file & resize the images in the folders to your device's resolution, then again compress it).
Custom Requests Are
OPEN​If there are some ideas (videos you think would make cool animations) for new bootanimations, Feel free to comment them.
I will definitely make them for you all.
DISCLAIMER:
If you mess something up, do a search or speak up, someone or I will help. Chances are, others have had similar problems. However, I am not responsible for damages because you cannot read or took a mallet to your phone in frustration.
Also, anyone who wants to reuse/share/distribute/tweak these, go right ahead. That's why I included the original files for d/l. I do not mind, just post that the originals were found on XDA and posted by me. It's the honor system, use it and enjoy it.
If you need detailed instructions, there are tons of threads out there designed to help with boot animations. However, if you are having a very hard time getting any of these to work, post up, and I will try to help or just shoot me a PM.
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the bootanimation for your device.
2. Change the name of the "zip" file to whatever name your phone uses for its animations. (i.e.: "bootanimation.zip" "VZW_bootanimation.zip" etc.)
3. Copy the zip file to your phone, doesn't matter if it's via USB cable to SDCARD, using ADB to push the file, or using your phone's browser to download the file directly from the link.
4. Copy, move, or place said files you downloaded and renamed into the directory where your boot animations are stored. Typically for most phones the directories are: /system/media - /data/local - or in most HTC phones /system/customize/resource/ and grant the required permissions to it.
SAMSUNG OWNERS:
Go to this thread if your boot plays distorted or does not work at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure to backup your old/stock boot animation if you haven't already done so. The easiest way is to use your favorite file explorer to rename the old boot animation to something like: "bootanimation.zip.bak".
BOOM! Done.
Reserved
Witcher 3 link is dead bro!
