Hello xda,
I will show you how to make your settings look a like to the SGS3 one!
You Need To Be Rooted
Step 1:
Download the zip file from the attachments and open the zip file it contains 2 folders open the settings.apk folder and take all the png's out of there paste thse .png's in a folder on your desktop!
Step 2:
Open the settings.apk with 7zip and go to res drawable-mdpi depending on your phone it could be also (HDPI or LDPI or XHDPI)
Step 3:
Scroll down to ic_settings_about.png and open that .png! check the size of your standard .png and look if they are the same size as the modded SGS3 style .png!
Step 4:
If they are not the same you must resize them!
If they are the same size copy all the Modded SGS3 icons inside of res drawable-mdpi depending on your phone it could be also (HDPI or LDPI or XHDPI)
Step 5:
after that go back to the .zip file you have downloaded and go into the framework-res.apk folder take all the .png's out of there and paste them into a folder on your desktop!
Step 6:
open your framework-res.apk and go to res drawable-mdpi depending on your phone it could be also (HDPI or LDPI or XHDPI)
Copy all the .png's inside of that folder and close 7zip.
Step 7: from here you can do 2 things
1: push the new apk's in root explorer
2: put them in your rom and flash it!
Method1:
Put settings.apk and framework-res.apk on your phone and go to root explorer navigate to /sdcard and move settings.apk to system/app Reboot!
After the reboot is done go back to root explorer and navigate to /sdcard and move framework-res.apk to /system/framework Reboot!
Enjoy your new settings!
Method2:
Put the themed settings.apk in your rom under system/app and the themed framework-res.apk under system/framework flash your rom!
Enjoy your new settings!

So...Doing this made my phone stop booting. As in, I have CyanogenMod 10 Stable installed on my SGS2 Skyrocket, and now it just gets stuck on the spinny-wheel boot animation.
Change your default lockring to 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"
}
We need to modify the framework-res.apk, so we need a file explorer with root access, like Solid Explorer Beta2
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS!
Step 1 Download the lockring that you like.
There are two options for each style: HDPI or XHDPI.
Download from here:
Ingress style 1: HDPI or XHDPI.
Ingress style 2: HDPI or XHDPI.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2 Copy your framework-res.apk from /system/framework to SD card and from SD card to the computer. If you have your current ROM on the computer as a zip file, copy the framework-res.apk from there, it`s faster.
Step 3 Open the framework-res.apk with 7Zip.
Navigate to res\drawable-hdpi\ or res\drawable-xhdpi\. You should find a file named "ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png". This is for ICS and JB.
Step 4 Go to the archive that you downloaded and unzip it, open the folder and Drag and Drop the .png file from here to the res\drawable-hdpi\ or res\drawable-xhdpi\. Click yes to confirm.
Step 5 Close the 7Zip archive and copy your modified framework-res.apk to the SD card. Keep the original framework-res.apk for backup.
Step 6 On the phone open Solid Explorer Beta2 and navigate to the modified framework-res.apk, long press it, select Copy. Navigate to /system and Paste it. Long press it again and select Properties. Under Attributes tab select Change. Set permissions to 644 -rw-r--r-- Click OK.
Long press the framework-res.apk again and select Cut. Now navigate to /system/framework and select Paste and overwrite the framework-res.apk from here.
Step 7 Your phone should reboot now, if it doesn't, reboot manually.
You should now have the new lockring installed.
Feel free to alter the design or make you own.
Here are the dimensions in pixels for HDPI: 162x162 and XHPDI: 216x216. The image must be a .png file.

_____________________ Add ICS/Jellybean look alike task switcher
Tools Required:
1. APKTOOL:: for decompiling/compiling
(u can use any decompiler as long as it compiles without any error)
2. JAVA runtime environment-- jre installed on windows
3. 7 ZIP
4. WinRAR
5. MOD.ZIP or MOD without button.zip (attached below)
MOD.zip includes "task manager" button at the bottom
MOD without button.zip obviously doesnt...
Procedure:
Setting up apktool
1. Unzip downloaded APKTOOL.zip to c:/apk (or any other convenient location)
2. copy ur rom's framework-res.apk to c:/apk/ and rename it as framework-stock.apk (dont delete this file neither modify it at any point)
3.open cmd and navigate to c:/apk/ and type command as
Code:
C:\apk>apktool if framework-stock.apk
Now you are all set to decompile framework-res.apk
DECOMPILING framework-res.apk
In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool d framework-res.apk frame
this will put all decompiled files in a folder named "frame"
EDITING decompiled framework-res.apk
1. open "c:/apk/frame/res" in explorer
2. extract all folders in the MOD.zip file to "c:/apk/frame/res/" and replace the files if asked
RECOMPILING framework-res.apk
1. In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool b frame framework.apk
if all goes well it will create an UNSIGNED framework.apk (u cant push it right now)
SIGNING framework-res.apk
1. open c:/apk/framework-res.apk in 7-ZIP not Winrar
2. open c:/apk/framework.apk in WINRAR and drag all the contents to the 7-zip window
and click "yes" in dialog when asked to copy files into framework-res.zip
DONE!!
c:/apk/framework-res.apk is the signed apk which you can push to system/framework/ using any method adb, CWM
or u can even use Miui file explorer to push framework-res.apk without any bootloops.....
if u get stuck in bootloop just flash ur stock framework-res.apk and then report here....
DO give proper credits if you are using this in your rom.... _________________________________________________
OR you can install this task killer. ICS Task Manager from market that is "ALMOST" look like a recent task/apps of ICS/JB.[/QUOTE]

Hi guyz,
Today I want to share something about settings.apk mod….
Its about adding small details in about phone section…
{
"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"
}
NOTE: I have not copied it... Actually I was playing with some codes and got success. I don’t know if there is any guide about this… There is guides about this, but those are hard for newbies because those are complex and there is some work in strings.xml... But in my guide there are no work of that .... I think this is the easiest way.....
So lets start…
Requirments
Apktool, Java Runtime
NotePad++, 7zip
Knowledge about decompiling, recompiling
A little respect (must)
And your Settings.apk & framework-res.apk
Step 1..
Decompile your Settings.apk
Step 2..
Go to res > xml
Open device_info_settings.xml
Now Copy This Code
Code:
<Preference android:title=" TITLE " android:summary=" SUMMARY " style="?android:preferenceInformationStyle" />
And paste it before </PreferenceScreen>
See the Image… I have added 2 lines… And You can write there anything……
Step 3..
Now Recompile your settings
Step 4..
Open decompiled Settings folder then go to build/apk, there u will find AndroidManifest.xml file…
Now open original Settings.apk using 7zip then copy the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file…
paste both the files in build/apk folder, if asked to replace, click yes..
now go to a folder in settings folder named dist, there u will find Settings.apk which u compiled.....
now delete it. We never use the first Settings.apk that we compile, because we need to add the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml files for signing purposes.
Once you have deleted the 1st compiled Settings.apk, return to the command prompt and again compile the Settings using this code
Code:
apktool b Settings
After it is compiled go to dist folder there u will find new and fresh compiled Settings.apk which u can use it…
Step 5..
Using Root Explorer push it into system/app folder and set permissions to rw-r-r-
That's it!
Credit goes to YOU if you get success :fingers-crossed:
Nice tut sir
Ever wondered how to make your Lock Screen Transparent without installing any 3rd party apps or using Xposed Modules, etc...
Buckle Up guys!! This tutorial will guide you to make your Lock Screen Transparent in 5 easy steps
REQUIREMENTS1. framework-res.apk of your respective device.
2. APK Multi Tool or any other application to decompile/compile apk [for sure shot]
If you don't have APK tool then open the framework-res.apk with winrar [not sure if it will work after this or not]
3. Photoshop
4. Presence of mind not needed at all
Alright Lets play
Step1. Decompile your framework-res.apk (Not going to teach you this part)
If you don't have an APK Tool to do the above work then open the framework-resp.apk with winrar/winzip .
Step2. Go to \res\drawable-hdpi\ and search for your default lock screen wallpaper [In my case I found it with the name of keyguard_default_wallpaper.jpg ]
NOTE:You will find your default Lockscreen image in this folder only. So look sharply for it, name of the image may differ.
Step3. Once you locate your default Lockscreen image,Open it with photoshop. And make it transparent by deleting the image, and save it as .png
For example I found my default lockscreen image by the name keyguard_default_wallpaper.jpg ,but after I edited it with photoshop making it transparent,I have saved the image by the name keyguard_default_wallpaper.png
We save it as .png because only .png supports transparency.
Note: Do not change the size of the image.
Bingo!! You successfully made your LockScreen Transparent.
Step4. Compile your framework-res.apk.
Step5. Replace it with your device's framework-res.apk via any file manager like ESfileexplorer or put it into a flashable zip and flash it.
For creating Flashable zip easily follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...shable-zip-t3196490/post62724670#post62724670
For your help i have attached a zip having transparent image in it at the end of this tutorial
