Changing apps names?

Is it possible to change the name of the apps? Like I am having Merriam Webster Unabridged and Medical too.. But the two apps are shown as "Medical" n "Unabridged" which has moved the apps in the app drawer to different positions.. I want to add "Merriam Webster" in front of their names.. Is it possible?

You should create a folder and put those apps in there. They'll be right next to each other.

If you have apk of that app, you can unpack it using apktool (search on google) .. change it's name in xml file, pack it back, sign and install it to phone.

With FolderOrganizer you can customize the name. You go into the program, and rename the app you want. Then instead of adding the app directly to the desktop, you press and hold, and add a shortcut, a FolderOrganizer shortcut, then choose the app you just renamed.
You can also customize the icon this way.

Can you plz tell which xml file are you talking about.. There is one androidmanifest.xml file.. But I cant find where to change the name.. Is it the correct file you were talking about?

Really, give FolderOrganizer a try. It is a very simple way to do it. You are trying to use a sledgehammer when a screwdriver would do.
I think FolderOrganizer will be perfect for what you need.

[MOD] Color icons (from Tayutama rom) for Cognition Beta 7 (screenshots included)

I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device.
This is just a modified framework-res.apk and it was created as an effort to kill some time because I'm unemployed right now.
I replaced some icons including:
Battery - circle battery icon
Data Icon - more colorful
Wifi Icon
SD card preparation
and more...
I also replaced the default wallpaper with the one included in BETA 6 (the one with the leafs).
This is for Cognition 2.2 Beta7.
Just replace the file using Root explorer or ADB and reboot your device.
Enjoy!
EDIT: added some screenshots.

Screenshot please. Sounds good but id like to see a pic before I apply it
Posted from my Captivate

im still on Beta5 - will this still work?

I honestly have no idea. Dont know why not. But again I used the framework-res.apk from BETA 7. You should jump to it, I think BETA 7 is the best build evah!

Back up your original Framework APk and you should be good.

Good idea. And how might an idiot like me back up such a file?

If you use Astro file manager or Root explorer, do a copy and paste of the original file to somewhere else (like your SD card). Then replace the original file with the new framework apk.

Slick! Nice job!

tnx for the nice mod

this seems to work perfectly fine with CogDevEnvironment Beta3 | AOSP 2.2
Thank you!

Very cool. Also working well on CogDevEnvironment Beta3 | AOSP 2.2...
Thanks...
Edit: Remember to check for you Exchange email account and add it again. It gets deleted with the framework-res replacement... Any of them.

I guess it will. You may have to uninstall existing stock launcher first. Just make sure you have another launcher installed when you remove it

how to use it in cm7???

Hi
would you share with us. Would be nice.
@lonestride
I think no but haven't tested it.
I think after installation you have to push the home button. Then you will get
a screen which launcher you will use.

love the stock launcher

Hi guys..For those of you who wanted or would love to have the sony sketch font for the xperia z, here's a simple editing in the system.

Let's start..
Now using root browser/explorer, go to system/vendor/etc/sytem_fonts.xml and press.
Press RB Text Editor
Edit name soma to roboto, SomaRegular.ttf to Roboto-Regular.ttf and SomaBold.ttf to Roboto-Bold.ttf.
Save and exit and then reboot. Simple and easy.
There you go enjoy your new system font.

Worked fine, but font are too small compared to stock ones (I use "small font size" setting in display option and "normal" is too big) how can I make them a little bigger ?
I renamed them and just clicked install in ROM Toolbox font manager, without setting permission, reboot and it's ok..

Is it a stupid question that there's no answer about it ? In Stock launcher there's no way to fine tune font size other than in display option with "normal" "small" "big" etc.
