More than likely if you want to edit directly you'll need to pull the apps apk and edit it, see the adb link in my sig for pulling and HERE for how to edit.
I recently installed Speedrom and pushed the HTClockscreen.apk as well as the 5 idlescreen apk's to my system/apps folder in order to view the caller ID while using Speedrom. However, I want to also be able to put app launcher on my lockscreen (like stock ICS). Is that possible? If so, what do you have to do? Thanks!
Hi Friends, I have found a way to change clock position on lock screen for value packs.
First of all, take backup of ur original settings.apk from /system/apps.
Now download settings.apk attached below and move it in /system/app and set permissions as rw-r--r--. If settings app doesn't appear in app drawer then reboot ur phone.
Now go to display settings. Go to screen settings. Change clock position as u want. Now restore your original settings u have backed up.
I have got this settings.apk in galaxy w forum. I have not remembered name of user made this settings.apk but thanx to him. As this settings.apk is for galaxy w many settings options will create fc's.. So u will require to restore original settings.apk. I know this is boaring and typical method but this is what i have found to change clock position. And It is deodexed.

I think it needs a modified Contacts.apk.

So this can be only with root acces, right?

No you don't, but you need to get CWM and flashable deodexed files for your firmware.
Get the correct flashable deodexed files and flash in CWM to deodex your system apps. Then you can bring out and edit the Contacts.apk (or whatever apk name, I forgot) using apktool. There should be image files of the icon you don't like. You need to extract and recompile framework-res while doing this too.
Find the guide somewhere in this forum or other forum (similar things). At least these are what I did to modify SystemUI.apk previously, the process is similar.
Hello again everybody!
So today I have a way for you to modify themes that are from official samsung theme Store, the method is hard and it does take a lot of time so bare with me.
First of all you will need a rooted device, obviously lol
Also you will need to have, root explorer and xploer. Now for the stepes:
1- Open root explorer and go to Data > App
2- You will see many many folders for the theme, in my case I will modify something in the home screen so the folder should have your theme name and then home and the end like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.home-1 )
3- Open the folder you will find an apk called base.apk
3- copy that apk and paste To somewhere else
4- Open explore and find the copied Base.apk
5- modify the things you want, for an example I changed the folder Look, I took a folder icon, renamed it To .qmg instead of .jpg then renamed that icon exactly like the folder icon For the theme, then deleted That old One and replaced it with the new one. ( do the same with any icon you want in any base.apk)
6- Open root explorer, take the new modified base.apk and replace it with the old one, set permissions And then reboot.
If it didn't work On the first time then apply the theme then apply another theme And then apply the theme again.
This may not be the best way, but it's the only way to modify them so far.
Do not copy my method on any place without my permission!! Thank you.
Hit Thanks if you liked it!
Thank you for the tutorial ��

How to modify only wallpaper and other images in theme

Go to the same place, find a folder named your theme and then wallpaper like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.wallpaper ) you will find an apk inside called base.apk go inside, then go inside res And then you will find 3 wallpapers, one for homescreen one for lockscreen, one for Sview cover.
I know that as I have done that Before. ..But what about the settings page,contacts page And other pages wallpaper...How to change them...bcoz for changing wallpapers of homescreen,lockscreen and s-view we don't have to modify an apk we can simply change it Through settings...

You will find other folders but instead of having wallpaper at the end, you will see contacts, settings, home...etc

Hello MrHollywood, looks like no one has posted here for a while but I'll give it a shot and hope for a reply/help. Your instructions are great, I've been wanting to know how to do this since my Galaxy S6.....I'm now onto an S8, rooted and rockin' an altered theme thanks to you! I have been able to use another themes icon pack with success, however when I use another theme's "InCallUI" (accept, reject, hangup icons in phone dialer) I cannot get them to stick. They will stay for a duration then default back to the Samsung goofy cartoon icons. I know that restarting phone triggers the reset but it also randomly triggers without restart. I can get them back by applying another theme then re-applying my theme....but a bit of a pain to have to do everytime!
What I have done, as per your instructions, is taken the "InCallUI.apk" out of theme's "base.apk", edited it and replaced. I have also placed that same edited InCallUI.apk into; Data > Overlays > Style > mytheme folder, then changed permissions to "rwx r-- r-w". I use these permission because all the other apk's in this folder use them.
Any advise or corrections in what I'm doing would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
