Modding the sense 3.0 (step by step directions needed)

I love all the beautiful modified skins of Thypancy's intial theme. Is there a post where we could learn to mod these themes. too. I have 4 in mind that I would like to make or have modified, but i would rather learn how to do it myself. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Hi,
I am not a PRO at this... but i would just explain you the procedure:
1) extract/Decompile the .apk file you want to MOD or make changes to. Use m10 editor for this.Select the option "decomplie all"
2) Minimize the m10 editor, and open the folder where you m10 editor is installed. There you would find a folder with the name of the .apk file you just decomplied. Go to folder assests>"base theme name">drawble>shared folder.
3) now select the .png files you want to edit. Install Paint.net, and edit with them, it was easy process for me. Remeber to "flip image vertical" after you are done with editing.
4) now go back to m10 editor, and Save the file.
5) You should have AndroidSDK installed.If not, do it. Then go to the folder where you have installed it. open the "autosign" file. It will open command prompt. There select the option to sign the file manually. Give the path for the file. It will sign it then. Exit from that program.
6) you are done, you can install it now.
Well, this is the basic idea for modding, and it would work if you have a little bit knowledge. I have been taught all this by "laletsehgal21", who has a good thread of his MODS... you can ask him for a detailed help.
Happy Modding

cool man.....
Jst one thing attach the base file that one must use to decompile so that he does not have errors while re-compiling
In de-compiled files changes have to b made in three places.
1. Androidmanifest.xml (name of package).
2. Res\values\strings.xml (name of theme).
3. Assets\shared(change this to theme name)
Now compile and then edit

In the m10 editor, on the second tab "m10files", select "decode images". And then start the process.....

I have attached an .apk file. Install it on your sensation, apply the theme to your mobile. Observe the stuff. Then try to decompile the same file, and edit the images to your choice. It will help you to recognize what files you should change to get your desired result.

I have all the pngs replaced and the its back in a apk, but now I don't see a autosign file in the sdk folder. am I looking in the wrong place?
This is the Android-sdk (along with java jdk) that i downloaded. I can't find a autosign file anywhere.

i found the autosign bat fle. but now im getting errors.

question: how/where do i change these?
In de-compiled files changes have to b made in three places.
1. Androidmanifest.xml (name of package). how do u change this?
2. Res\values\strings.xml (name of theme). how/where do u change this?
3. Assets\shared(change this to theme name) h0w/where do u change this?
---
also when I replaced the background image, and he skin png, they resorted back to the original and didn't keep my background image nor skin pmg.

Sorry to hijack, but how would I change the dock/nav bar?

How to make theme and learn developing for samsung galaxy R i9013

I think it will be very useful to whom preparing theme ..,and useful to who want to prepare theme for galaxy R
;-)
Its will bit tough need hard work and patience with time (tut originally posted by Raghavafit )
Theme Developing, XML Editting:
Tools Needed :
* APK Manager
* Photoshop or other photo editing software’s ( corel draw etc etc)
*FS Resizer or GIMP
* NOTEPAD ++
From the start:
* Make sure u hav a deodexed ROM….If your ROM is not deodexed den use xultimate to deodex….
*You will get a zip or rar file in which u will find “meta inf” and “system”…. We will be concentrating only on the system folder…..Extract it to the desktop or which ever location u want…. *Inside the system folder u would see folders called “app” “framework” “media” “bin” etc….
Let me explain what does these folders Hav to do,,,,,
*v “app” is the major folder which has to do with all the pre installed apps(default apps) like calculator camera mms(messaging) touchwiz bluetooth etc…..
*v “framework” is the folder associated with the body formation (i.e) the skeleton of out fit…..examples like the battery icon,icons in the notification panel like “autorotate” “Wi-Fi” “GPS” etc….
*v “media” consists of “bootanimation.zip” file allows u to change the boot animation ( we would discuss about this later)
Procedure for only ICON changing TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CHANGE THE ICON OF APPS:
STEP 1: First go into the “apps” folder and extract everythin(if u wish extract everythin or extract only the file u want) to the desktop…….
* Don’t be bothered about the .odex files… concentrate only on the .apk files…..
* for ex: if u wish to change the “messaging” icon…select mms.apk….enter into that and u would find folders called “res” “metainf”…….. ENTER into “res” folder and u would see folders such as “drawable” “drawable ldpi”( or similar to that) leave the folders like “xml” etc and just concentrate on “drawable-ldpi” and extract it to the desktop…..enter into that folder and u would find all the images which u see on the mobile while messaging….. Hope u would remember how the icon for the messagin app be….now search for that….for this apk it would be as “ic_launcher_smsmms”….. and BINGO your done…… download a png of the icon u want from google (for that go into google and type message icon png and select images…. Select the image of ur choice and save it)
*now copy that downloaded image (for ex the downloaded image name is 123.png replace that name to “ic_launcher_smsmms”)After renaming it copy and replace the default image in the “drawable ldpi” folder….. Similarly make changes for wat ever icon u want but REMBEMBER the icon ur changing should hav the same name of the default icon”
*Since u’ve modded(changed) only the “drawable ldpi” folder copy that folder in which u hav changed the icon to the folder in “res” of “mms.apk”…… to make it clear delete the default drawable ldpi and replace it with the one u modded from the desktop……(to replace just drag from the desktop to the rar file) IF WINRAR asks a confirmation “update changes made” click YES…… cool now u’ve changed the icon of the messaging app….
*Similarly try replacing the default icon of the calculator camera dialer tab activity etc by just moving into the apk file “res”à”drawable ldpi (hdpi, land-ldpi or wateva)
*To go more interior take dialer tab activity and follow the above steps first.,….den replace the number icons, dialer_tab_background image with any image u like J but it should be of PNG and of the same default name while replacing it in the folder……
*That’s it now u’ve learnt how to change the icons and images……
Now do the reverse of
*STEP 1….. copy the modded(changed) apk files from the desktop into the “system”à”app” folder and don’t forget to save the changes…..
TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CHANGE THE ICON OF FRAMEWORK:
* SIMILARLY just like how u replaced the icons of “apps” try replacing icons of framework folder….
*Open “framework” folder…..u’ll find many .JAR files and “framework-res.apk” and “twt-framework.apk”
*Go into framework-res.apkàresàand extract drawable (ldpi,hdpi,mdpi,land-hdpi) or wateva file is der to ur desktop…. Just as how u did it in “apps” replace the PNGS in it…. For ex: replace the alarm clock icon “auto rotate” “vibrate” “sound””battery icons” etc…..
*After doing all the changes in drawable folder replace the drawable folder in “framework-res.apk” and replace this “framework-res.apk” in the framework folder of the RAR file….
##XML EDITTING:
*XML editing is the trickiest and difficult part yet a challenging part To do this u must need “apk manager” version 4 or higher…..
*These are the folders inside the apk manager Take the apk file for which u r goin to edit the xml for example to change the conversion of sms to mms from 4pgs to any no of pgs u want……copy the “mms.apk” file from “system”à”app” to “PLACE APK HERE FOR MODDING” of the apk manager….. HINT: for beginners u can edit only one file at a time :OAfter this open “SCRIPT”
*ULL find a window like this…..IF u hav placed mms.apk file in “PLACE APK HERE FOR MODDING” den “NONE” would be shown as “mms.apk” or if u had placed “touchwiz.apk” it would show as “touchwiz.apk” on the place of NONE
*Now press no 9….. the “DECOMPILING” would start and would finish with no alert… now go to the “APK manager” folder and go into “PROJECTS” u’ll find mms.apk or wateva apk u hav used…. Den go into “RES”à”XML” ..... u’ll find “mms_config” open it with notepad or notepad++….(notepad++ is advisable and recommended) You will find a line called 4 replace that four with whatever number u want….
*Well u hav learnt how to edit the XML’s also…….try to edit xml of touchwiz (androidmanifest.xml) to enable touch wiz rotation or touchwiz(launcher_config{to change number of rows and columns} …
*.”default_mainapplication_order”{ to change order of the apps in the touch wiz} All the changes must be made in the projects folder and COMPILE it again by pressing number 11….. copy the COMPILED .APK back into “apps” or “framework-res” or from wer ever u took the apk file…..
*THEME DEVELOPING DOESN’T COME WITHIN A DAY SO TRY IT REPEATEDLY TILL U GET THE ART

Tutorial - Changing App Icons

Tutorial :- Changing App Icons
Hi Friends,
This is a little Tutorial about changing app icons permanently. There was a lot of applications available in Playstore like
“ icon changer free” etc etc to change the app icons. But the problem is that u cant use that changed apps in ur app drawer. U can only use that in ur home screen as a shortcut.
So I just decided to put a little tutorial to do that easily. I know everybody will know this already. But it will help for someone I am sure….
Credit goes to my friend dewanshu93 for teaching me this by personally
Credit Why So Serious? For the Icons
(And Sorry For My Bad English)
Tools Needed:-
(a) One PC
(b) 7 zip
(c) Some good icons
STEPS:-
1) Get some cool icons from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207136 and save it ur PC. Give him big thanks for the work.
Edit:- If u need some cool Galaxy S4 icons means go here: - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216289 Please give thanks for his work..
2) Put the apps u want to change the icons to a Folder in ur PC. For example SemcAlbum, Phonebook, Browser etc
3) Here I am taking the Phonebook app for Example..
4) Right Click the Phonebook apk -> Open With -> 7zip File Manager. Then U will get a box contained some files like the attached Image 1
5) Then double click on the res folder and u get another box like attached Image 2
6) Find the folder named “ drawable-xhdpi “ and open it. U will get This Image 3
7) And most important thing is u need to find the original icon and its name of the phonebook.apk or whatever apk u take …
8) For that an easy way is create a new folder in ur PC’s Desktop and select all the images from the box ( Image 3 ) then drag it to the that new folder in the desktop.
9)Then open that folder then search for original the apk icon. Look in to Image 4
10) In my case the name of the Phonebook.apk’s icon is “ic_launcher_contacts “. So just note down the icon name and then open the folder that contains the icons that u downloaded. Image 5
11) And choose which icon u need and select it. Then rename it to the exact name of the original apk icon. ( For example ic_launcher_contacts )
12) After that just drag that renamed icon to res/drawable-xhdpi. It will ask for overright. Press Ok or Yes. That’s it. Copy the apk to ur phone and move it to the System/app with correct permission…
Check the lastly Attached Two images for ur refference .
U can do it with almost all the apks. But I cant guarantee that it will work with all apks. Some System apks did not worked for me…
And also u can take icos from other apks too..
And this is my first work in XDA. Any mistake is there means I am sorry…
Thanks....

Lookin good.. Thanks for sharing this..:good:

[Guide][Simple]Make your own update patch with Omegadoird rom flasher...

Hi guys...
Recently i had worked in a project (Mini Cayno X 2 link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...update-patch-mini-cayno-x-2-symphony-t2858833 ...
it was a update patch for stock rom...so many buddy ask me in FB that how can i make one update patch for my rom?!!
But due to being busy i cant replay them and now i am free and try to write a small tutorial about this...i hope you will enjoy it... and this is my frist tutorial in XDA...
Frist its not for Developer its for newbie modder who dont know this method...
Ok lets start....
________________________________
Today i am going to tell you a new and uncommon way to make your own update patch...I think everybody knows about Villain rom flasher or Vrtheme...its really a good rom flasher...and you can make your own modpack with this easily...but i dont talk about this...beacuse there are a lot of guide in Xda about this...
Now i am going to tell you about Omegadorid rom flasher... This is an "Universal Flasher Tools" like villain rom flasher...
This flasher was made by JRsoft & Intronauta...
And more info and updates about "VillainTheme System" here:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207017)
________________________________
Now i am going to how can you make your own update pack...
Frist for any Error or brick i am not responsible...
________________________________
Now requirments ->
1.Good file manegar or Root ecplorer...
2.good image editor like pixeler express or pic say pro...
3.Simple and common knowledge in udate script...
4.and free mind...
________________________________
Now download this omega flasher uploaded by Me...beacuse i lost the main thered link...
link -> ( http://www.mediafire.com/?pks4i2nx3w9l6d1 ) (Size: 2 mb)
After downloading make sure that what you want to add in your update patch...like i wants to add some nessesary apps,themes and some brinaries...
After decieding extract the zip in a new folder...like i extracted it in a new folder named new projects...
then you will see some folder like thats ->
1.META_INF,
2.MORPH,
3.tools,
4.XTRAS,
5.mod.config,
6.Reed me.txt...
Ok now frist lets talk about meta inf...i think everybody know this folder...and you must have knowladge about this folder...if you dont have then see this tutorial -> ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931585) (dont forget to say thanks to pitchblack5691 )
Now MORPH folder...
this is the main folder...here you can put your modded png files what you wanted to add in your apps...i will talk about it lettar...
then tools folder...in this folder you will see some files...dont touch them...this is the main files of your update pack...
then XTRAS...in this folder you can see some folder like system,sdcard,data etc etc...
if you wants to add somethings like apps in system folder then drop your apps in XTRAS/system/app..you can add fonts,new boot animations,modded build.prop and brinaries too...i will talk about this latter...
Now mod.config...This string will be added to build.prop for identify the
version or author of the mod and will be visible in
Settings - >About. Please avoid to use the character "=" into
the string.
now About readme.txt...here you will find somethings like how use this flasher etc etc...
________________________________
All done...now start making modpack.... .Its very easy...
Put in "/XTRAS" folder files that you want to add recreating
their full paths. Note that /XTRAS is equivalent to root path in
the internal memory:
e.g:
/XTRAS/system/etc/gps.conf
/XTRAS/sdcard/Wallpapers/MILF.jpeg
/XTRAS/data/app/Youtube.apk
/XTRAS/whateverfolder/whateverfile
you can also add system app here...just sing your app and drop it in XTRAS/system/app.you can add some app to xtras/data/app too...and in sdcard folder you can add some files like viper kernels or your lunchers downloaded themes.for example frist download all themes from your luncher settings.then search them in sdcard.if you found them,then copy the files with whole derectory like i found my themes here -> sdcard/xluncher/themes.So i copied xluncher folder and paste it to XTRAS/sdcard folder.By the same way you can add anithings in your sdcard just copy your file with whole derectory and paste it in xtras/sdcard...
i hope you understand about using XTRAS folders....
Now uses of MORPH folder...
>> Put in "/MORPH" folder your "morph themes". Note that /MORPH is
equivalent to root path in the internal memory and you must rename
folders like the apk but with extension instead the metamorph form
This process will only works in the following folders: /data/app,
/system/app and /system/framework.
e.g:
/MORPH/system/app/Settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/***.png
/MORPH/system/app/Settings.apk/classes.dex
/MORPH/system/framework/framework-res.apk/resources.arsc
/MORPH/data/app/****.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/**.png
you can add your modded png here...like i want to add new paltlogo...so frist i mod my platlogo.so that i extract my framwork_res by root explorer and find the paltlogo.then i found them and copy the derectory that where i found them like i found them in framwork_res/res/drawable nodpi.So i made my own logo and renamed them as same as in my stock framwork_res like platlogo.png and put them in the same derectory where i found them in stock framwork_res...like MORPH/system/framwork/framwork_res/res/drawable nodpi...done...now you add another pngs in the same way...but dont forget to renamed your pngs in same name as the main pngs...i hope you understand what i say....now your theming has been done!
>>but It's very important that you take a look to MOD.config file to
enable or disable features a/or set special commands if you need
it, i.e for setup your sdcard layout used in your recovery if you
get sdcard errors, set a mod name visible in Settings, etc..
>>ok now create zip of your updatepatch and Flash and enjoy!!
Having problem with update script?!!See my script -> ( http://www.mediafire.com/view/?dl1mta6j8t82w8u ) (Size: 3 kb)
######################Some KNOWN ERRORS ###############################
>>If you get (Status 0) error flashing, you need an update-binary
specific for your terminal. You must look for and extract the
"/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary" file inside a zip
compatible with your terminal and replace it in the same path into
the UFT. You also can consider to replace the whole META-INF folder
in the MOD with the other compatible, except the updater-script!!
>>Please, report us errors if you get!!...
N.B ->to add somethings like brinaries/fonts/apps data/etc etc you must need to set permissions and Smyalink them...so,Dont forget it and if dont know how to set permission or create Smyalink then dont try to add them.in some devices all pngs are found in drawable-xhdpi/drawable-xxhdpi/drawable-mdpi...so you must need to know that in which folders your pngs are stored...for this just extract your systemui or framwork_res...then see thats where are all the pngs stored...for example:if you find all pngs in drawable-xhdpi then go to morph folder and renamed all drawable-hdpi folders to drawable-xhdpi... if you find all pngs in drawable-xxhdpi then go to morph folder and renamed all drawable-hdpi folders to drawable-xxhdpi...and if you dont understand anythings that i said then comment here...Thanks !

How To Theme Apps To Marshmallow's Style

Hi Xda today i will show you how to change apps icons to marshmallow's one
First you will need X-Plore Apk And Solid Explorer Or any Root Explorer.
Second You Will Need Marshmallows icons pack i made them in two zips first zip for system apps and the second one for user apps.
Now open solid explorer and go to system/privapp or apps here you will find all system apps. In this tutorial i will theme stock music app that located in system/privapp in folder named as Smusic. Open the folder and copy the apk to any folder in internal storage. After that open x-plore apk and press on three dots and choose open apk as zip then go back and select the apk of music app then you will see two folders open the folder that named as "res" then scroll down until you see folder named as mipmap-xxxhdpi then open it and scroll down until you see the icon of music app then swipe from right to left to open another window and open the folder of icons you downloaded then find the new style music app icon and rename so it be same as the original one and then choose copy then overwrite. Repeat this steps with this following folders (mipmap-xxhdpi/mipmap-sw411dp-xxxhdpi). In Some apps you will find drawable folders so search in them for the icon and rename and copy and overwrite. Also some apps the icon will be in qmg format so just rename the new icon from png to qmg and replace.
After you changed icons take the new Smusic apk and go to System/Privapp and overwrite and dont forget to give prim R-W-R-R for the new apk then reboot.
You must search in all folders just to be sure that you replaced all icons.
ENJOY
Credits goes to @qareembizzle for providing the icons

Hi Xda today i will show you how to change apps icons to marshmallow's one
First you will need X-Plore Apk And Solid Explorer Or any Root Explorer.
Second You Will Need Marshmallows icons pack i made them in two zips first zip for system apps and the second one for user apps.
Now open solid explorer and go to system/privapp or apps here you will find all system apps. In this tutorial i will theme stock music app that located in system/privapp in folder named as Smusic. Open the folder and copy the apk to any folder in internal storage. After that open x-plore apk and press on three dots and choose open apk as zip then go back and select the apk of music app then you will see two folders open the folder that named as "res" then scroll down until you see folder named as mipmap-xxxhdpi then open it and scroll down until you see the icon of music app then swipe from right to left to open another window and open the folder of icons you downloaded then find the new style music app icon and rename so it be same as the original one and then choose copy then overwrite. Repeat this steps with this following folders (mipmap-xxhdpi/mipmap-sw411dp-xxxhdpi). In Some apps you will find drawable folders so search in them for the icon and rename and copy and overwrite. Also some apps the icon will be in qmg format so just rename the new icon from png to qmg and replace.
After you changed icons take the new Smusic apk and go to System/Privapp and overwrite and dont forget to give prim R-W-R-R for the new apk then reboot.
You must search in all folders just to be sure that you replaced all icons.
ENJOY
