[guide] how to mod smileys/bubbles in 4.2.2

Well, I've been compiling custom smileys ever since I supported the S3 (I still do now, but I will not be hanging out there as often as I used to)
Anyway, so I figured I'll make a guide about how to so everyone can share their work :good:
And if you like, I can feature your work in my thread [MOD] custom smileys/emoticons & bubbles [4.2.2] with credits from you! That way, everyone can keep sharing if they wish to
YOU NEED
7zip or WinZip [Download 7zip...Download WinZip]

STEP 1
-Make 2 temporary folders (preferably on your Desktop for easy access- or wherever you like)
-Put SamplePack.zip in the 1st folder and STOCK ANDROID SMILEYS.zip in the 2nd folder
In my case, I named the 1st and 2nd folder- TUTORIAL1 & TUTORIAL2

STEP 3
-Go to TUTORIAL2\vrtheme\system\app\SecMms.apk\res\drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi
-Copy the file name of the smiley in TUTORIAL2 to a relative smiley in TUTORIAL1
-Now copy the entire file (the one you renamed in TUTORIAL1) to TUTORIAL2
-Repeat process until all smileys are done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 4
-Make necessary dimension changes of the smiley files in TUTORIAL2:
Small: 60x60 pixels/inch
Medium: 75x75 pixels/inch
Large: 80x80 pixels/inch
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 5
-Close the 1st Folder (TUTORIAL1)
-Go to the main page of the 2nd Folder (Desktop\TUTORIAL2)
-Now zip both META-INF folder and vrtheme folder into one zip which will produce TUTORIAL2.zip

[GUIDE][HOW TO]Mod bootanimation in ROMs without /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Wannabe developers stepping into the ROM Development scene usually begin with theming and porting. One Themeable feature of Android is the Boot Animation. Traditionally it is located in /system/media for the latest versions of the OS. But sometimes it is possible that the folder contains 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"
}
So what to do in this case ??? Yeah you can copy the bootanimation.zip to /data/local after the first boot, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot to see the glorius boot animation you just planted. This is fine if you are a end user, but if you're theming a ROM, it can be quite frustrating to ask the user to do this, since most people would be overwhelmed by this procedure (Not anyone here at the Android Development and Hacking forums - it's supposed to be noob-resistant, right ). So here I am with the tutorial for themers and devs alike who want to mod the supposedly hidden bootanimation.
Before we begin, ensure you have the following installed and ready to go :
Prerequisites
APK Tool by @iBotPeaches
Java 7 JRE and JDK
ADB (If you want to do this without any flashing)
Brain.jar and Common Sense.apk (Plenty required if you do not fit into the [Developers Only] parameter)
So Let's Begin
Get the framework-res.apk of the ROM you want to theme (Either from the zip or using adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk)
Decompile it using apktool
Navigate to framework-res/assets/images. Here you'll find android-logo-mask.png and android-logo-shine.png
Replace the android-logo-mask.png with your custom splash of the EXACT same dimensions(Or you can change the width to your device's screen's width if you have borders in the image). I used my team's logo and cut out the white parts to let the shine shine through
Optional : If you want, you can also edit the android-logo-shine.png to mod the color of the shine
Compile the framework-res.apk (Ignore the errors, if any. They are harmless......Atleast in my case)
Copy the the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from framework-res/original to the apk in /framework-res/dist
Copy the apk to the framework folder in the ROM zip or use adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
Done! You have competed the tutorial. Flash/Reboot to see the fruits of your labour
Demonstration
Before
After
Hit Thanks if I helped you and let me know below if you're stuck or have a suggestion

This tutorial was done with Evervolv 4.0.0 as the ROM in question.
