Hi guys,
It could seem a strange answer but I have deleted all the pre-imposted sketches on s-memo and I remember they were all drawn on different backgrounds (White stripes, blank white, yellow notepad, etc.). Now when I open a new file I can only draw on yellow squared background. Does any of you know how to choose a different background? Thanks.

Open settings with the memo open.
Change background.
Profit.

There is no such option as change background!

Except there is! Sorry and thanks for your help!
Found the Cause... Changing the dpi makes it like that... so If you have changed the dpi..Make sure u download the modded s -memo app from xda and push it. No more lines then!
create a new memo go into the options and it has change background, you get a choice of 8
Anyone know where the memo background image files are stored? Or how to import your own files?

seems to be inside smemo.apk, in one of res/drawable-* folders
better info to could be probably found in modded smemo thread (for DPI's 200, 220 etc.)

hey any luck with this i want to do the same
Selfless bump.
Is it just a png that can be changed or is it a more complicated endeavor?

need help
right ive opened up the apk theres no relevent png's so i guess the colours etc are in xml's how do i set it to transparent and move it to bottom of screen?
I know it's not what you want to hear, but...
You could purchase Folder Organizer (paid app by the same dev). It has same functionality but with more options, like changing the backgrounds of the folders, changing app icons, and you can add shortcuts, contacts, bookmarks, etc to folders.
Just a suggestion. It's the best app I've ever bought, and the couple of bucks has to be worth the time of changing the xml files.
Sorry I couldn't offer a better answer, but if you want to just change Apps Organizer I'm sure you need to figure out where the values are in the xml & change it accordingly.

Folder Organizer uses the panel_background.9.png file from the system framework res drawables folder. That's why it's not in the apk. In order to change the look, you have replace this file with the modded panel_background.9.png file you want to use in your framework.apk. However, because you're modding the panel_background.9 file, it will be like this for ANY apk that also accesses this 9.png file. But that's what you need to do if you really want to mod the backgound to have sharp corners.
I can't find it under root explorer

How do you make it so that the "green globe" browser icon will launch a different browser? For example, if I want to use Firefox 4 Beta, but want to retain the "green globe" icon on my main dock but have it launch Firefox when I tap that, how do I do that?
I recall the browser once asking me what I wanted my default browser to be. I don't know how to clear that or reset it so it asks again. I've tried settings and clearing cache, etc. Doesn't seem like I can clear the "launch by default" option in the app settings. It's faded out. Can't even do anything in that section.
Help?
Settings. Applications. Manage applications. Click browser. Clear defaults.

The green browser icon will always launch the default browser unless you use a custom launcher like adw where you can change the icon of Firefox to the green globe.

Right. I was hoping there was a more 'official' way to do it. Okay, thanks.
You could edit the PNG inside the Firefox apk - I know it can be done but I don't really have knowledge of it. Perhaps search for PNG editing?
Edit: Didn't see that you wanted to use the stock Launcher and make firefox the one that launches from the dock. I'm pretty sure that's impossible without some deep deep coding.
If you open the apk with winrar or7zip it will leave the file signed and zipped but you will be able to edit images within the file. open the res folder and find a firefox icon. Replace it with a globe and the icon should change.
I'll actually try this in a few minutes to see how possible it is. If it works I'll post the modified apk

I changed the icon and while it is clear it has been changed (you can see it in the installation window) it wouldn't install. Next I tried overwriting the standard apk with the modified one and that only resulted in making the entire app disappear on reboot. I attached the modified apk in case someone else wants to try but I'm throwing in my towel.
EDIT: Odd, it didn't actually attached my file so here is a download link
If you are willing to use a third party launcher, I can attach the gingerbread dock background as well as the stock icons so you can achieve the same effect.

So here's the skinny... I want to edit a .png icon (from the circlelauncher app)
How do I do that? Do I have to pay for an app that has that feature, because all of the ones that I've found so far that CAN edit it are paid... I suppose I could download an aftermarket/cracked apk, but I'd rather not.
Suggestions? Literally I just want to add text to the middle of a red circle icon.

Much better then gump. Theres no icon edit program. U need a photo/art edit create program
Adpbe photoshop and paint.net are probobly the best 2.
Gimp is good to buy not for a noob.

Photo editor is also good. For on phone. Dont try to edit .9.pngs on your phone though.
They reqire draw9patch. Or the ability to zoom in like 800 percent to see the border pixels
They have a 1 pixel border that u must not touch or it will corrupt them.
Can't get the backgrounds to stay transparent. Very frustrating.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using XDA
If you use the erase tool. In paint.net it actually makes what ever you erase fully transparent.
And u can scale it any size u want. I have some transparent images i made i can post if u need and u can resize them on phone with photo editor
Here ya go.........
Thanks, but I still couldn't get it to go. Finally achieved the desired result by importing the .png into uccw and adding text, then using the png I created there as my icon in WL, lol.
End result : (the little circles are the ones I was trying to add text to)

Hello,
I prefer to use Sib Icon Editor to make small icons and image files.
After thinking about it for a few days, I would like to create just a plain black background that I can use in S Note. I figured out that you need to modify the apk by replacing to .png images to the template you want. However, I have a problem re-installing the modified apk.
I have extracted the Snote_P4C.apk file from my tab and have modified it using APK-Multi-Tool. After resigning and attempting to install I am getting the following error;
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
I have read online that this has something to do with my packages.xml file which is here: http://pastebin.com/36CLWZxq
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would be willing to make a tutorial after
-Sbeanie
Can't you open a new note, then change background to your image? Is it what you want?
Sv: Creating your own Template for S Note?
ddavtian: since he's asking I assume he has the previous version of SNote and that doesn't support change background to your own image when you are in the note. Luckily there are a way to get around it and that is to select import image when you are in the app itself, where you can see all your notes and create new ones. This will create a note with the picture as background.
In the new version however, you just have to pick select image where you set the background and it works just like the stock backgrounds.

The goal is to be able to change small things in some apps.
For example, there is an app called SnapChat which allows you to send a picture for 3 seconds and then closes the picture. In this scenario, I would like to be able to edit the .apk file to allow to stay for 4 seconds. Would this kind of this be possible?
How so?
Um....you can do this within the app.....stock....

You can change alot of things in apps just by playing around with them. Using Apktool or another decompiling tool, you can change alot in the res/values folders Theres alot of stuff you can play around with in the various xml files

So you are saying I can't decompile or recompile apks on my phone? I have to use adb to push/pull and then use a program to decrypt the XML then I can change the values to what I want?

You can swap out images but you definitely can't change app settings like animations and such without the right tools and procedures.

OK. I don't want yo change animations just yet. I want to edit app icon colors widget colors. I pretty much want to theme everything.

use 7zip on your computer to swap out png's. change app's name from whatever.apk to whatever.zip then move it to your computer using 7zip open the archive. don't extract or unzip. navigate to res folder and open it. find the png files you want to change and insert your png files you want. make sure they are the correct size, in the correct format (png) and are named correctly. exactly as they are in the zip file. then close the zip transfer it back to your phone and rename back to whatever.apk i do suggest doing some more research before doing this. there are a lot of threads dedicated just for this. use the search engine at the top of the page. XDA provides it for this exact reason.
