Hello,
I ve been trying to change my default call icon (for unknown contacts) when receiving a call with ninjamorph... I opened phone.apk and found icon, changed it and nothing happens... It does change when I open preview in Ninjamorph... I think I probably changed the wrong icon because there are hundreds of them, most of them I never saw on my phone...
Can somebody tell me which one to change? There are some general tutorials but I cant find the directories and filenames they are refering to...
Of course, phone is rooted, running Destiny 2.1 ROM...
I would also like to change that awful phone animation when making a call if possible...
Thank you very much
change the icons in
DialerTabActivity.apk
I tried, changed some icons in drawable-Ldpi in dialertabActivity.apk but still nothing happens, not even in dialer screen
I applied and finished Ninjamorph project, and when it is done I can see by starting the project again that icons are changed indeed but still nothing changes...
Could you please be more specific about what icons to change?
well...
to be on safe side. check all *contact*.png pictures
the icon you search may have the naming like
default_icon...
unknown_contact_icon...
or something like that
the G3 is ldpi but sometimes (dont know when or why) the icons from mdpi folders are taken
therfore to be on safe side, just exchange all pngs which may sound like that
in framework-res.apk there are also some default icons...
maybe one of them is taken? Dont know.

Hi,
I've been looking for an easy way to change the font on my TP.
I've tried someones cab file which works, but then I can only use the font supplied in the CAB.
Someone else suggested copying the new ttf over the existing one and renaming it..
eg, new font is red.ttf, rename to tahoma.ttf and copy over existing tahoma.ttf
but, in my windows/font folder I don't have tahoma!!
maybe this is a result of a theme I installed (the font in the font foler is nyama or something)
so, what is the quickest and easiet way to change system font?
thanks
Use this tool ,it works for me
but this app only has 3-4 fonts in it...I want to be able to add any font I like. is there a way to do that?
can I add fonts to this app and therefore make them selectable?

ok..I found out that if you add fonts to the windows font folder then they appear in the drop down as selectable with this app..
however...I can't change the system font (I say system font, but I mean the main one, that is displayed on the now page in SPB MS etc. it stays as tahoma...and what's even more interesting is that I can't find the tahoma font anywhere on the device!! (I was going to copy over this with my new font)
so...has anyone got any other ideas about how to change the font on the TP?
As you can see here I've changed my font for the entire device (you might not see that it's for the entire device but it is) the rest of what I know is in that post, cheers
I seem to recall that Tweaks 2K2.NET allowed you to change fonts as well (via the registry) but be prepared for disproportionate buttons and dialogs which may flow off the screen.
Did you want to change the fonts as a user pref thing or is it in order to increase their size and make them easier to read?
just a user preference thing. I find the tahoma font quite boring. Tweaks2k2 does allow you to change fonts but again, not the main one.
I can't quite understand it. you can change the one in the drop down menus, the dialogue boxes etc but the main one (for sms or emails for example) stays the same.
Pixel, I could've sworn that I did this on my wife's PPC.
Using Tweaks2K2.NET, you can change the system font and size.
The only caveat is that you have to have the font installed to your PPC's \Windows\Fonts folder first.
Wait a sec. Lemme g00gle this...

I'm sorry if this doesn't help. I might not be understanding what you are trying to do.
Take care!
thanks for your efforts. I had to hard reset my device last night after weeks of happy life. so I'm going to get round to changing the font with the methods as indicated as soon as I've finished all my other config work that is required.
could any of you themers tell me please where I can find the wallpaper which is under the icons, when you press the Launcher Button?
It's stock black and I want to change it?
Thanks!
Ummmm.....
Are you asking for the location of the launcher background? I am not positive, but I would check inside the apk for the launcher. Just a guess.
I think that is more of a line of code somewhere and not an image if you are referring to the app drawer in launcher2.
You can tell a special .png by the helmet it wears.
Yeah, Launcher2.apk was my first look. It isn't in there.
What do you mean with "You can tell a special .png by the helmet it wears" please.
Sorry!

It was an off color joke.
I was thinking it was in an xml file in launcher2.apk somewhere but couldn't find it. Then there is an xml called grid color selector or something like that in drawable of framwwork. But I couldn't find the color in there either. I am still looking though so if anyone finds it please let us know.
So I cant' change the picture, only the colour?
it most likely isn't going to be referenced as a color, it is probably calling it out from the system framework (I just got my nexus yesterday so I only started the new theme today, so this is a guess). I have the source, but havent gone thru it yet. It would be possible to add a line of code, to the correct .xml, and either place an image or at least a background=color to it
I would like to use this Widget again but simply cant stand for any background to it, as it doesn't then fit the rest of my simple no background widgets. I tried pulling the apk apart myself and editing the PNG files to be transparent but then I could not get the apk to install nor did pushing it to my device work at all.
If someone can tell me how to modify the apk or modify it for me, I'd be very appreciative.
I emailed the Dev of this and have not gotten a response about adding a transparent background option so that is why I am here now asking for help. Thanks.

So you can see what Last Call looks like I have attached a screen, I believe it is an issue with editing the .9 file. I can't figure out how to do it correctly, ugh..
No one eh? Does anyone think it's just a matter of figuring out how to edit these .9 files and I should be ok no need to resign the package? I Wish the dev would help out here, I'd gladly throw em ten spot for just changing the image background.
I've added a transparent style to the Widget (was a little bit more complicated to implement in practice than it sounds).
For future reference, nine-patch files are altered by the Android build system during compilation making it more difficult for a third party to make the changes described. Hope it suits your home screen.
Hello all,
I am trying to tinker with the phonebook apk so that the deafult contact picture is the one I want.
I am on Wolfbreaks latest rom and have tried for about a week to find the correct image in the drawable folders of the contacts apk without any luck.
The image I am looking to change is the one on the left of a contacts name in the alphabetical list of contacts.
(Circled in red in this screenshot)
If anyone can give me the correct path to find it I will be very very grateful.
I have sent a PM to wolfbreak but he is obviously very busy and probably gets hindreds of messages and I dont want to spam his thread.
I am looking to change the image to a png of an android like my avatar of to the honeycomb bee (I use siwanthas honeycomb theme)
Also, I imagine i can just rename the file I want and replace it in the apk, just make sure it is the right size (81x81 I think)...will i need to get the apk signed?
EDIT: just realised, it may be in the siwanthas honeycomb theme apk.....
try these
howdy Mate,
in the contacts.apk
under res/drawable-hdpi/
i changed the bunch of images called
spb_contact_photo_default_#_icn.png (# is a number from 1 to 8)
i also changed these to match.
spb_contact_photo_default_pivot_#_icn.png (# is a number from 1 to 8)
if you install your theme then grab the contacts.apk then edit and push back it should work.
see attached pic to see the images changed
hope this helps
Pvy
Many thanks....
I now have it done with a picture of the honeycomb bee as default picture....
Too easy mate, happy modding
glad it worked.

My gf just updated her phone to ICS and she kinda hates it.
The biggest gripe is the profile pictures, very few have them and she doesnt want to see the placeholder image everywhere.
So, is there a way to completely disable her phone from displaying contact pictures everywhere?

Hopefully I'm understanding... If you edit a contact, and press on the picture image next to their name, you will get a menu to delete it.
They dont have pics to begin with and she doesnt have a desire to take pics of all of her contacts. They all display a black silhouette of a person , but wewant to see nothing at all. This displays in text convos, her list of People and when people call her.

I believe the default pic is embedded in the contacts.apk. I've been wondering how to change that also.
I've seen the process and it's been a while since I have done it.
Basically you need to decompile the contacts.apk, replace the icon (under /res directory) then recompile the apk and copy back on to your phone.
This is a very generic description of what needs to be done. Google decompile apk, or replace contacts icon in contacts.apk and do some reading. You'll be a hero.
Also if you really don't want anything to show up as picture, maybe replace it with a transparent.png.
I'm gonna pipe in here and say that Mr. Steele is exactly correct. The picture you see it a default in the contacts.apk, however, while you could fix this, if you are unfamiliar with decompiling apk's, recompiling, and signing, then you could have an issue. ADB will be your best bet to pull the apk successfully, but be careful with system apk's as they can be troublesome to get to work properly without sending yourself into a bootloop.
Meh, i was hoping for a setting change to just not display the image to begin with.
I have an Atrix running GB and im now not looking forward to staring at that placeholder image the entire time i use my phone...
