I was wondering if there is anyway I can change the new folder text when you create a new folder on the home screen and is it possible to change the icon to better categorize them.

Selfless bump.
Is it just a png that can be changed or is it a more complicated endeavor?

need help
right ive opened up the apk theres no relevent png's so i guess the colours etc are in xml's how do i set it to transparent and move it to bottom of screen?
I know it's not what you want to hear, but...
You could purchase Folder Organizer (paid app by the same dev). It has same functionality but with more options, like changing the backgrounds of the folders, changing app icons, and you can add shortcuts, contacts, bookmarks, etc to folders.
Just a suggestion. It's the best app I've ever bought, and the couple of bucks has to be worth the time of changing the xml files.
Sorry I couldn't offer a better answer, but if you want to just change Apps Organizer I'm sure you need to figure out where the values are in the xml & change it accordingly.

Folder Organizer uses the panel_background.9.png file from the system framework res drawables folder. That's why it's not in the apk. In order to change the look, you have replace this file with the modded panel_background.9.png file you want to use in your framework.apk. However, because you're modding the panel_background.9 file, it will be like this for ANY apk that also accesses this 9.png file. But that's what you need to do if you really want to mod the backgound to have sharp corners.
I can't find it under root explorer

Hey all, I've been trying to find an app/widget similar to the native android folder widget where you can drag and drop icons into the folder...but I want to use custom icons for those folders. All the apps I've come across do not have the drag and drop functionality.
Thank you for the input!

I see the option for activities and launcher actions, which one is used for creating folders?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try Simi Folder. It's fantastic.

its features are still being extended. So just go over to thread and make a request for the drag and drop functionality. The dev is pretty open minded about requests and suggestions. he's already implemented alot of users' ideas in no time
Ok on the stupid iPhone 4 you can take any icon on the screen take your finger and drag that very icon to another icon right on top and let it go and it will automatically make a folder out of the 2 icons well before I flashed this ROM I could do that but now I can't and I forget the name of the program I used to do it with from the marketplace any help would be nice I need this feature back thanks .....Xda Heads

I was curious if it was possible to change the default buttons at the bottom? I am talking about the phone, email, web and application buttons. I really just want to change the web one to be the browser I downloaded. I am rooted if that helps

Go into your app drawer, click and hold your browser that you want and drop it onto the spot you wanna put it. That should do it.

The goal is to be able to change small things in some apps.
For example, there is an app called SnapChat which allows you to send a picture for 3 seconds and then closes the picture. In this scenario, I would like to be able to edit the .apk file to allow to stay for 4 seconds. Would this kind of this be possible?
How so?
Um....you can do this within the app.....stock....

I know, it was a poor example. But I'm just wondering if it would be possible to do small changes like this to apps?

You can change alot of things in apps just by playing around with them. Using Apktool or another decompiling tool, you can change alot in the res/values folders Theres alot of stuff you can play around with in the various xml files

So you are saying I can't decompile or recompile apks on my phone? I have to use adb to push/pull and then use a program to decrypt the XML then I can change the values to what I want?

You're gonna have to adb push/pull unless you build your own ROM.
You can get apktool from here: https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

You can swap out images but you definitely can't change app settings like animations and such without the right tools and procedures.

OK. I don't want yo change animations just yet. I want to edit app icon colors widget colors. I pretty much want to theme everything.

use 7zip on your computer to swap out png's. change app's name from whatever.apk to whatever.zip then move it to your computer using 7zip open the archive. don't extract or unzip. navigate to res folder and open it. find the png files you want to change and insert your png files you want. make sure they are the correct size, in the correct format (png) and are named correctly. exactly as they are in the zip file. then close the zip transfer it back to your phone and rename back to whatever.apk i do suggest doing some more research before doing this. there are a lot of threads dedicated just for this. use the search engine at the top of the page. XDA provides it for this exact reason.
