So on a DroidX, the ugly Corporate notification PNG and the Yahoo! Mail notification PNG's are stored in /system/app/setup.apk
I've copied the Setup.APK off my device, modified the images making the new images the same size and pixel size and then packed them back in the .APK and then copied back to /system/app
I can't seem to make the images work. I really don't like the Corporate icons on the DX, it's ugly as sin.
At first I was getting a crash when going to Settings -> Accounts but I've rebooted my device.
When I went back in, my new PNG's flashed very briefly but then went back to the default PNG.
When I edit the Setup.APK using NinjaMorph or Rootexplorer my PNG's are there so I don't get why it's not working.. those in the /system/app folder don't need to be re-signed or re-installed right?
Any ideas?

I pulled system.apk from phone and then opened it as a rar archive and manually edited pngs without loosing quality, then saved it as a settings.apk
and pushed it to system/app/.
Nothing has changed, except looks of power widget, though all pngs in anything connected with settings should have changed (even the green/orange - depending on rom - selected button background)
Why is that?
Hey guys. Just a quick question. I've successfully edited the images inside a few .apk files to match my theme and then installed them on my phone without any problems.
However, now I'm trying to edit some .apk files that are apps with widgets. Specifically, Advanced Task Manager and N1 Torch. I wanted to edit the widgets' image files so that the "focused" and "pressed" highlights of these apps' respective widgets are no longer Android's hideous orange color. But when I make changes to the widgets and install my modded .apk files, the widgets are broken. They won't load. Any advice? Thanks.

Never mind. Got it all settled. Fixed my widgets. Thanks.
I want to replace the icons and edit the color of the widget text. I found the files and edited them for the text and photo-shopped the icons. Rezipped it and resigned it. I uninstalled the old poweramp (left the unlocker installed). Installed the new re-signed one using root-explorer but it says can't open modified apk install poweramp from market. Pretty annoying I just wan't to edit the icons for the widget is there another way replace icons for the widgets without editing the apk?
Hey guys,
I loathe swiping through my gallery (lousy with hundreds of pages of album/ebook cover art) to get to my Wallpaper album, then resizing the crop as best I can, and repeating the same process next month when I want to try another wall.
What I'd like to do is just add a bunch of wallpapers to the drawable-xlarge-nodpi folder in my Launcher2.apk so they'll show up in the stock wallpaper picker.
I've selected a bunch of 1920x1408 walls and made "blahblah_small" 180x180 versions (I'd like thumbnails to show up in the picker). I tried using Zipthemer to create a CWM-installable updated Launcher2 to include these changes, but just can't seem to figure it out.
I've also tried renaming to .zip, unzipping, adding the walls, rezipping, renaming to .apk and pushing that, but Android won't install the .apk. Do I need to delete the META-INF signatures folder and figure out some way to sign the .apk? Can I sign an apk w/o the SDK?
I know Roach has that extra wallpaper in Prime (nigh version of the Asus default wall), so basically, how did he do that?
Also, the default wallpapers are in drawable-large-nodpi, the Asus default (tree scene) is in drawable-xlarge-nodpi. The xlarge-nodpi folder has no META-INF stuff, so I figured if I threw the wallpapers in there, the picker would just show them.
Is there a mod or a way to turn the sense 6 status bar fully transparent like AOSP KitKat, unlike its current half transparency. Please do not suggest exposed, I'd rather edit system files.

Status bar (and others....)
If you decompile SystemUI.apk (found in /system/priv-app), look for status_background.9.png in res/xxhdpi and edit the image to make fully transparent. The xxhdpi folder also has the images for all the status bar and quick toggle icons if you should choose to change those as well...
As a note - I did this on my work computer (without actually decompiling the apk) by extracting SystemUI.apk to my dropbox and then simply renaming it to SystemUI.zip and decompressing it with 7-zip. After I made the changes I wanted (signal icons, wifi, nav bar bg, and some others), I re-zipped the contents of SystemUI (not the folder itself as it will make a redundant directory in the zip file and break your SystemUI), I renamed back to SystemUI.apk and placed the new SystemUI.apk in the appropriate directory, making sure permissions are set correct. Then reboot....
This worked for me... it's a bit tedious, but I get bored at work sometimes... lolz.
