U should be rooted to do the following :
Copy ur stock mms.apk using Root explorer
then copy that file on windows and use APKedit tool to edit the png to need
or jst open dat apk with WINRAR / 7zip and replace the png

im already rooted and already started modding the stock mms.apk what i want to learn is how to add more smileys and even the "<3" so that when i recieve a message with a <3 it will show a picture btw i am modding 2.3.6 mms.apk for my samsung galaxy pocket..
thanks :laugh:

Well in that case if ur trying to add more smileys jst more than they are present in stock then its jst next to impossible coz u have to write write separate lines of code for each new smiley u add , why dont u use any other app for mms instead of the stock one this will solve ur problem and u can try editing the png's of the alternative app this will WORK !!

ICONS on APP Drawer

Do you guys know how to replace the icons on the app drawer??
any way like flashing it?
thanks...
fastest way : use one of the launcher (go launcher,adw,etc) and then download the theme....
other way : decompile,change icon, compile back some apk (CMIIW)....but I never try it before, so I don't know which apk you must decompile.... sorry for that...
I'm just a nubie

thanks for the reply, though i know the launchers... it's just that i wanted to have icons alone... for the steel blue theme that has been ported for G-Fit...
probably, i have to wait more for something, for bulk changes...
You have to change the apk's icons one by one if you don't use any launchers that supports icon packs (stock launcher)

Have you tried it?
WinRAR's Compression methods are different than that of 7-ZIP and I am not sure if you will end up with the correct compression for your modified APK file....

Well 7zip is better than winrar and its what I use when compiling and editing apk files

if you download from here the zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421126
when openend you find only filemaps with the name of an app like mms.apk
insinde is res map and another map
just place in the last map your icon rename it like thevicon in there and zip it again
but i think you will need to mod an xml file because the fit is an ldpi screen ....

[q]how to add crt animation , enable landscape mode and transparency?[q]
it's all there in the framework-res.apk
copy this to /system/framework using root explorer or any file manager.
it'll give you all that you need but at some places the text formatting may get messed up
do make a backup of the original and replace at your own risk.

If possible try learnin how to add CRT by your self
Decompile framework-res.apk
Go to values-->bools.xml
Change animate screen lights (dont know the xact name) to true from false
compile it back
Open build.prop in system folder and delete line debug.sf dont know the xact line but starts like this )
Thn Flash it via recovery and U r done
If u r not able to do all these things just send me the framework-res.apk and build.prop and 'd do it for u
dude by changing stuff in build.prop dosent the phone slow down?
i changed my version number and display name, it worked well but apps in sd card on tw took 15 min to show
n is it safe or has some side effects
thnx

nd ive seen on other sites u gotta change many more things
so will this work or do something else

its very easy to change the dailer
choose the dialer u want and push it to system via root explorer and set permissions to rw-r-r.and restart ...
u will see your new dialer
and you don't have to mount system before flashing the theme just flash it simply!!

Request for SystemUI MOD

Hi,
I have been using Tipo Dual and searched many threads for a SystemUI.apk mod with the ICS or JB look and SystemUIPreferences. But all I was able to find was for Tipo Single and Miro. Modders pls help Tipo Dual users. I hv attached the apk. Someone please do a mod like ICS or JB and post it. Thanks in advance.

MOD wit Icons
Well.. I just played with a few png icons and modified d SystemUI.apk.. I dunno coding stuff.. So I dunno how to add toggles.. I have attached the screen shots.. If some dual users are interested.. I will upload the apk.. Will be great if someone continues the mod..
Upload it, please. Thanks
Modded apk
Here you go..! This is my First MOD.. So pls bear with the mistakes I have done and give me suggestions to improve..
Do it at your own risk and dont blame me in case you bricked your phone. But it works 100% fine in My Rooted Tipo Dual.
1. Your Tipo Dual(not for Tipo Single) must be rooted.
2. Using Root Explorer Go to system/app/ and rename original SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak.
3. Download the attached apk file and move it to the system/app/ folder.
4. Set permissions to rw-r--r--.
5. Reboot and you will get the modded SystemUI as in the screenshots in the previous post.
ImpNote: Do not rename or delete SystemUI.odex.
If anything goes wrong your phone will be booted without the status bar. Dont panic. Now just restore the original SystemUI.apk which you had backed up earlier.
My Device: Xperia Tipo Dual
Stock ROM.
Rooted.
Bootloader Locked.
ICS 4.04.
Build Number: 11.0.A.1.8
Hit Thanks if you like this..!
