i wanna give my own name to the wallpaper and also wanna make the app drawer transparent

there is no xml that defines it..the default_wallpaper.jpg gets picked automatically

just rename your wallpaper as default_wallpaper you wont need to edit XML then.
in cm7 , the default wallpaper is in drawable folder

For the status bar to look like Jellybean, all you need to do is extract your SystemUI.apk and open it with 7zip and change the icons found in drawable folder with that of any Jellybean based SystemUI.apk. Note that you may need to resize the images into LDPI based resolution, not a big deal though.
For adding toggles, there is no way other than decompiling and recompiling.

How to change Default Apps and Wallpapers on Mediatek Devices

Hi everybody
I'm looking for "how to change the default apps and wallpapers on mediatek devices" in order to make my own custom ROM.
For default apps, I tried to put .apk files in /system/app, and created a backup using MTKDroidTools, but it didn't work (like the MX Player apk file). Can someone help me for this.
Also I couldn't find how to replace defalut wallpapers in my stock ROM.
I have a iNew i2000 (MT6589)
Thanks

for that you have to put .so files in system / lib folder...btw putting apps like mx player is not a good idea.... as user can install them... it just make rom bulky...

To change default wallpaper you have to edit framework-res.apk, and replace defaultwallpaper.jpg
To change wallpapers in launcher you have to edit Launcher2.apk, and replace wallpaperXX.jpg and their thumbnails for your dpi
To add apps, put them in /system/app, and if it contains any lib in apk package (check it using 7zip or winrar), extract it and put inside /system/lib/

Decompile the apk on the computer. You need the Android sdk and java sdk. Go to the resources folder go to the drawable folders. Change the .pngs to your liking and then recompile the apk and you're good to go =)

Anyway to turn the sound up a little bit
It's a trap!!

Thanks for this

[Guide] Android Theming and Porting UI apps

[Guide] Porting UI Apks
This is a small tutorial showing about porting UI Apps (Theming)
Necessary tools
-Apktool
-Copy-Paste Knowledge
-Root Explorer
-A little respect
Its very easy no need of development skills...
So lets start
Porting SystemUI.apk
Of a rom to another..
At first decompile ur Stock Systemui.apk and custom Systemui.apk which u wanna port.
Now find the folder in custom SystemUI.apk name "res" then open it and search for "drawable-hdpi" open it and you will see a lot of png image replace all them to your stock systemui.apk! If you find any xml file then don't copy them. Then recompile the modded stock SystemUI.apk and replace with original one by root explorer..
Porting framework-res.apk
Your device must be of the same resolution with the custom framework-res device (ex: qhd>qhd) .... If not then u may face dpi bugs.
decompile both stock and custom framework-res.apk.. Same as before find "res" open and find "drawable-hdpi" copy all the png to ur stock framework.. don't copy any xmls.. and recompile the modded stock framework-res.apk and replace with ur original by root explorer..
