How to change dockbar?

Hi, I would like to know where the file to modify the dockbar not find it on framework-res.apk. thanks

You can use an alternative Launcher.
LauncherPro has very much emphasis on the dock, I recommend trying it.

Thanks, but I like to change the dockbar the original launcher, I do not
use another launcher.

You need basic knowledge using:
- ADB
- Photoshop/GIMP
- Which images to edit in the correct .apk

i decided to search about changing the dock without an alternative launch instead of starting a new thread lol

Im also wondering how i can do it. What we should modify to change the dock bar?

to show icons maybe u will need reboot your phone.
for who have problems with accuweather widget: there is an alternative one in this thread by -Aatif-:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1596304
u don't need s3 launcher to be installed. it works with apex and nova, too. just copy accuweather_widget_files.zip of s3 launcher.and then install the link as a normal apk.
and of course u can use both 4*2 and 4*1 together with s3 launcher.

p.s.: accuweather main apk may fc when u try to add city. but finds your current location well. also u can add city by "edit" and then "search" in city list screen menu..

i have played with seclauncher2.apk by Superhero340. it is for jb and no need to change dpi for our device.
homescreen is 4x5 and app grid is 4x4.. just need to put the apk and the lib files to their system directories with rw-r-r then reboot. and be sure you have enough space in system directory.

Theming and Customising

Might as well start this off as many of us would love to customise our roms even further by creating and modding our roms but dont know where and how to start , hopefully this can be a general guide to de-compiling apk's /re-compiling modifying customising colours etc on most devices .
Website i use for changing and finding out HTML colour codes to change the basic colours in roms here great help especially when you cant find the correct colour code and name or need to use when theming .
I also use this website to re-size my PNG's etc to the sizes i need when modding or replacing pictures.
Android APK tool is a great start for most to learn and figure things out, link to site here
Hopefully this thread can be useful for ALL as with so many devices and different ways to theme mod and customise each individual device we can collectively help each other with the simple and basic stuff to get everyone learning and heading in the right direction .
:good:

Apktool is the only one I have been able to get working with 4.2 framework so it is a very helpful tool and dose have support on how to install and use but I wish there was some way to have a brake down of what is what with the .XML files like what to change and where to change backgrounds and text colors

Hi.
I've already started a thread on theming. [Guide/Tools] Simple APK Modding - Basic Android Theming

I still use APK MANAGER, what you have to do is replace some files in the OTHER folder. I'll make it sinple for everyone to use.
I'll upload my version for people to use in link below.
This works for 4.2.1 apks
APK MANAGER 5.0.2

Decompile SecLauncher2.apk and change parameters in dimens.xml in res/values-sw399dp. Compile and push to your device.

No, I will not make a tutorial how to decompile/compile apps, change values in files etc.
Why? Because they all here in XDA - in many different forms and versions and "granularity". And I do not have the time for making the hundredth one right now, sorry.
And if you are really a Noob there would be many many questions from you more.
I searched myself and learned by reading and trying. It is not so difficult - but of course you have to put some energy and time into it.
If you want to change system files - learn. If you do not want to - use what is provided.
By the way: if you make icons bigger you only might get 3x3 or 4x4 on the home screen. Is that really what you need?

you could use "giganticon" app from the playstore
it won't change the icon size in the app drawer but you can put the huge icons on the home screen instead
Donno if this is what you are looking for....

Well, download the apk of the launcher and open it. You'll find a folder called res/values-sw399 dp. In that edit the values in the file dimens.xml and set the values you want. And recompile it. How To recompile, change values in that .xml file, you can search these processes individually.
