in alot of the roms I've used, there have been 3g variations in the files, just not in the right place or named correctly for CDMA. You can grab those if you want or create your own. Name them the same as the ones you want to replace. Open the apk with winzip or whatever app you use, find the files you want to replace, then drag the new ones into the apk.
If you get a prompt about encryption, choose other, then no encryption.
After that, build a folder structure just as if the app would be in the phone.
ex: system/framework/
- place the apk inside of the framework folder, and zip it.
- next you need to sign the zip, I'd use flipz's kitchen
- install via RA (place on sd card, reboot into recovery and install)

how would i open and edit the files?

with your favorite graphic editor, their png files.
beyond that, you might want to make a request in the thread where you got the ROM.
what ROM and addons are you using anyway?

here's a metamoprh zip that will change to 3g icons, and nothing else.

hey man thanks!!
but, back to the long way. i found the right file, (using regaw mod, comes with the 3g icon) what do i change it to?

thank you for the zip I booted into recovery and flashed it but i still have the EV?

it's not a zip you flash. Download metamorph from the market, and install it from there.
and mountain... I just used the default 3g icons in framework-res.apk and placed them into com.htc.resources.apk with the metamorph

thankx guys I got it working

no problem

I installed MetaMorph, but at the beginning it says start basic checks to see if your phone can run, and it just hangs there and says its not responding, asks to wait or FC, please help

[How-To] Replace the Stock Android Emoticons with Smiley Face Type Emoticons

Figured I'd post this guide in case anyone else wanted to do the same,
Instructions:
1 nandoid backup
2 download the attached .rar file
3 adb devices
4 adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(make a backup copy of this file)
5 open the apk file with winrar
6 insert the .png files that are in the attached rar file into the framework-res.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder
7 adb remount
8 adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
9 adb reboot
For those looking for an easier way to do this you can make a flashable file here --> http://circle.glx.nl/

Oh wow! Can you do that with the Blacy emotes?

trying!
@martijua i just tried it and let see if it worked. rebooting now!!!!
It worked great!!
@GENEius what are blacy emotes?
Update i saw the" blacky emotes" and i would say yes you can if you had all the icons the right sizes
I decided to try other icons and i found out that....
- nandroid backup is a must just in case you mess anything up!
- If it is not the right size 24 x 24 px it will show a blank space instead of an icon.
-While doing this process you will see a FC error but that's ok just adb reboot
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR FC ERRORS!
- If you do not adb pull before you abd push.
- Receiving a text while trying this out.
Not 100% sure because both of these things happend within the same try!
-I noticed that i actually put >PNG instead of .png and that may have been the problem.
NOW IT"S WORKING WILL UPDATE WITH A IMAGE!
SINCE I AM ACTUALLY DOING A LOT FOR THIS AND WILL TRY TO DO MORE I WILL CREATE MY OWN POST!

Yes that could be possible provided the dimensions are correct and you name them accordingly.

Is this something that should not be done on a custom rom? I tried on my phone with the latest fresh rom and all of my contact disappeared.

Google contacts? Make sure that your google account is still there...if it isnt re-add/sign back into google account.

Hm. I can use any pixel size. HTC Evo 4G seems to support most (I'm on 40x40 now). Using kawaii kitty faces from MSN :3

Anyway of doing this with APK Manager? Or NinjaMorph?

****..I wish someone could get emoji working! Seen a few threads about it but seems kinda shoddy.

thanks for the instructs, buddy. i've changed my icons like 3 times already tonight using this, lol

I have issues getting adb to work but I really hate the aliens... anyone have an easier way (I am rooted).

well....use root explorer, navigate to system/app and extract the framework, replace the emoticons, and copy-paste the mms app back where it came from
Reboot
you're done

thank you
These are awesome thank u!

Just wanted to add my testimony.
This works, but it will remove all your accounts from the Accounts section, thus removing you contacts, and resetting your wallpaper, and probably other personal settings.
However, setting them back was easy, and re-adding the account was also easy. Got all my contacts back and so on.
Thanks martijua!

http://circle.glx.nl/ is gone. Any alternatives?
ATM I don't have time to deal with missing stuff and restoring them back
P.S. Which way of those two mentioned exactly leads to losing some data? ADB or RootExplorer way?

New Emoticon Pack
Here is a pack of Emoji Emoticons if anyone wants to try out.
Do it at your own risk, i am not responsible for any damage.

O.K., that's cool - but is it possible to "replace with nothing" or simply turn them off?
What happens if i try to put empty files with png extension or blank png files or something - I believe that won't work...?

i want Sony Ericsson c901 & k800 smiley pack on my Samsung Galaxy Ace..
how do i get that?

[GUIDE NOT FOR NOOBIES][HOW-TO][WINDOWS ONLY] Fix custom font "question mark" problem

[GUIDE NOT FOR NOOBIES][HOW-TO][WINDOWS ONLY] Fix custom font "question mark" problem
Hello again!
As you may know, almost every custom font has got this problem. These strange question marks (or other) that appears very often in many places with text.
In my favourite custom font called Zrnic this symbol looked like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In my case this was mainly appearing:
- in YT apk while reading comments:
- in Titanium Backup Pro while browsing app list:
- and even when receiving SMS:
Finally I got pissed off and thought about fixing this annoying bug.
While I was browsing some threads on the Internet I've found a little bit tricky way how to get rid of it. I wasn't sure about the 100% success on Android but I've tried this fix and IT WORKED!
This guide will be the step-by-step one mainly because the program you will use to fix the font bug is in Japanese. Personally I don't know it but it was easy to intuitively do some clicks
I warn you - this is not for noobies, only advanced users should proceed as I probably won't do any video guide soon.
----------------------------------------
Files you need:
- Font Installer *ROOT* by JRUMMY16 - install this program and find yourself some nice font.
- .ttf file with your bugged font (for Font Installer *ROOT* the directory for the font is sd/romtoolbox/fonts/previews
- Japanese version of fontforge ported to cygwin. THIS WORKS ONLY ON WINDOWS!
Optional (if link above doesn't work):
http://www.geocities.jp/meir000/fontforge/ - file called "fontforge-cygwin_2011_06_06.zip (20MB)"
Things you need to do:
1. Download your .ttf file to your computer.
2. Download ported fontforge to your computer.
3. Unpack fontforge-cygwin_2011_06_06.zip and open that folder.
4. Run fontforge.bat and wait PATIENTLY for the cmd to unpack all the files you need and start the program. It takes a minute or more. Just wait.
5. Finally you will see this window
6. Select your .ttf file directory from the expandable menu and open that .ttf file
7. After opening .ttf file you will see this window
8. Scroll up until you see this. Select the very first symbol called "space". Mostly it's to the left of exclamation mark. Click on that symbol and press CTRL+C
9. Now a little bit hard part. Scroll down until you see this (help yourself a bit by clicking to different symbols until you find "U+FEFF")
10. While highliting this symbol, press CTRL+V. Congrats! You have almost fixed your problem!
11. Right-click on this symbol and select this option
12. Change EVERY VARIABLE TO "0"! And click OK.
13. Now you only have to generate your new .ttf file. Click these things.
14. Rename your font to "FontName"-Fixed.ttf and from the expandable menu right under the file name select TrueType. Click on the button with "somethingjapanese"(S).
Then click this
15. Congrats! Font generated! You can close the window, click on the X button on the top and select this option
Ok, that's all with font editing. Now some work with your phone.
1. Backup your original .ttf file with non-fixed font somewhere else.
2. Change "FontName"-Fixed.ttf to "FontName".ttf
3. Place this font back to sd/romtoolbox/fonts/previews OVERWRITING ORIGINAL FONT WITH THE FIXED ONE.
4. Run Font Installer *ROOT*.
5. Find again your font, tap it and select install (don't delete it because you will have to oerwrite it again!).
6. Reboot and... enjoy your fixed font
If you did everything right after reboot you should see this:
IF THIS HELPED YOU, CLICK THANKS!

The link to fontforge doesn't work
Found it somewhere else, and done it
BEFORE: .................................................. ................................. AFTER:

I'm glad that helped you too. I don't know why you couldn't download fontforge from provided link so I've added new one - original site with that file.

I have to disagree. If you are putting in a custom font, I would call that part of theming. This is just a how-to on how to fix unrecognized characters in font packs you were to apply. A rather handy explanation of what is going wrong and how to fix it. Well done in my opinion.

I feel awfully lazy for doing this, but since a) I don't have access to a Windows computer, and b) FontForge on OSX does not allow me to copy-paste the space symbol, I am kindly asking you to fix these fonts for me.

No problem, it will be fixed soon ;-)

[GUIDE] Changing status bar icons and more (framework-res.apk)

So friends, here is a quick and easy guide for changing the status bar icons of your Gingerbread(Actually any phone )
For those who don't know how to do it(for anyone actually :highfive
Theory
Android is the awesome platform which is easily configurable and is able of being edited very easily
The icons used in every app and Android framework are located as png images in apk of those respective apps in location:-
*.apk/res/drawable-mdpi (in my case, as our phone is mdpi)
So, we can change any icon of our status bar like battery, signal, (not clock[clock is to be configures in SystemUI.apk{will post how to change it shortly}]), etc by editing png's in framework-res.apk
Not even that, you can edit images of any app as I told you
There are several ways to decompile and compile apk in which we have made change
If we want full access of apk and want to change every thing like the xml's in it and smali content in jar files, then we would have to do it on computer by apktool or apkmanager
But, we are here to only change image, so we would not go in detail of apktool or apkmanager. For changing images, that can be very easily done even on the phone by an app NinjaMorph that is made for developers by our senior head and DEVELOPING LEGEND Stephen(Stericson)
But be careful as backing up the original file if you do something wrong
And as you all know any developer or even a newbie posting something interesting that you want to try WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for your mobile blowing up, resting in peace, sleeping like a dead, behaving like a non-living BRICK, or anything whatsoever that may or may not happen to phone in this universe or any other universe known or unknown
What to do if anything happened to my mobile
We have had a backup of your original file so we can restore it
But if while editing the system files like framework-res.apk
If you deleted some un-backed up apk's
Well you can always have backup of your ROM and that is why Koushik Datta has made clockworkmod Recovery
You can restore your ROM from there
Pre-Requisites
Patience
Mind
A Android (A spare one if you brick your phone, just kidding)
Root access(to change the apk)
NinjaMorph(http://bit.ly/ninjamorph)
Root Explorer(Optional)(http://bit.ly/stericson)
GUIDE
So Let's Start
Download NinjaMorph. Install it and give it root access. It will prompt for starting checks. Click on start checks.
Now you would have three options, namely, New Project, Finish Project, Existing Project
Click on new project. Go to system/framework/ and click on framework-res.apk. It will start extracting files
Once it has extracted all the files, it will open to show you what is inside framework-res.apk.
Exit it and go to your file explorer.
Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk
This is what is inside apk. Go to res/drawable-mdpi folder
There you will see hundreds of icons of your menu, lockscreen, battery, signal, and everything
You can edit them and replace them as you want. But the name of the file you are replacing and size and dimension must be equal to the file you are replacing with(I recommend Googling and finding icons of battery, signal, and other things)[I have even used hdpi icons, there was no problem]
If you download a theme file which is to be flashed in recovery that is not for your phone, no problem, extract the zip and place its framework-res.apk in your sdcard and extract the apk with Ninjamorph. Replace your icons with its icons and TADA
After you have done replacing the icons and you are satisfied(I am never)
Go to NinjaMorph. Click on Fininsh Projects. Click on framework-resapk. It will recompile and ask to replace the original apk with modded one. Click OK
Then it will ask if you want to remove the completed project, Say No(As you would need it if something gets wrong)
Reboot your phone
Maximum chances are that your icons will be replaced. Rare cases have their status bar gone or no change, if so:-
Download(Buy) Root Explorer. Go to /sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace,
There you will see framework-res.apk. Copy it and go to /system/framework
Mount as R/W
Paste the apk. If it asks that file already exists, overwrite it.
SET PERMISSIONS
Long click on framework-res.apk and click on permissions
You will see three columns
Read Write Execute
You have to set them in the following way
x means you have to tick it
blank means uncheck
Read Write Execute
.....x........x.................
.....x...........................
.....x...........................
Click OK
You will see it as rw-r--r--
Reboot
Do it over again if nothing happens
Enjoy
This way you can edit not only framework-res.apk but any apk
Treat
This section is different from the thread topic
I: Faking Up
Want to make your device show Jelly Bean in About Phone
Go to Root Explorer
Go to /system
Long click on build.prop
Click on Open in a Text Editor
Change the files as
ro.build.display.id=Jelly Bean
ro.build.version.release=4.1.4
Save Changes
Reboot
II: Easter Egg
You all must know that an image of GingerBread Zombie comes up when you repeatedly click on Android Version in Setting>About Phone
Wanna change it to look like Jelly Bean?
