If you find this icon as ugly as I do you probably researched and figured out that you could remove this by changing the OTHERS.XML in /system/csc/
If you have no problem editing the XML that is probably the easiest solution, however if you are like me and need to have a solution that works as a flashable zip that is indepenedent of the random carrier settings in others.xml this solution might help you.
This is the NFC apk from LL1 samsung release and should in theory be backwards and forwards compatible.
Tested on LL1 / TWRP.
If this works for you please give me thanks / rate the thread. If it doesn't let me know so i can figure out a more universal solution.

I kinda like the NFC icon but I changed it to something else. Just swap out the icon with another icon.

Hmm.. What kind of "apk tool" did u use to decompile & compile back?
I've tried APK Tool and it's not working.

Winrar or 7zip will do. Drag the 'res/drawable-hdpi' folder out to and make the changes. Then drag the folder 'res/drawable-hdpi'' back into the apk. Depending on your Windows configuration, make sure there are no 'thumbs.db' files in ANY of the folder in the apk file before you replace the file in your phone or else you're gonna get some force-close upon reboot. Good luck.
PS: After you're comfortable with replacing icons then you go ahead and start replacing icon in all your other programs. systemui.apk, phone.apk, contacts.apk, email.apk, maps.apk, etc...

I can't seem to replace an icon in my framework-res.apk and I'm wondering if it's possible to create a flashable .zip file that'll overwrite the icon I want replaced in the file.
Attached is the alarm clock icon (with the proper file name) which I extracted from the Droid 2 framework-res.apk.
I want to replace the CM6 icon I'm using now w/ the Droid 2 icon I'm attaching.
I copy my apk to my computer, unzip it, replace 'stat_notify_alarm.png', zip it back up, rename to apk, use the 'Android-sign' droplet app (I'm on a Mac), push back to the system/framework folder, reboot, nothing... old icon still there.
1. Can someone tell what steps I'm missing?
2. Can someone create a flashable .zip that'll overwrite the icon?
Thanks!
Give me your framework-res.apk and I will do it for you signed and everything
I'd like to know how to do this too.
I also have a question about icons on the homescreen. Is there anyway to get rid of the text right underneath the icon?

As for creating a flashable zip, make your changes and then delete the 2 cert files and the manifest file inside the meta inf folder then sign it. You can use Avabox or the tool regaw just made.

Can anyone help me try and remove the DriveSmart settings menu found in Settings.
I deleted the DriveSmart APKs but its still showing in Settings which means its hardcoded in there...
you will have to decompile the settings.apk and remove the entire line of drivesmart
I actually tried that already but couldn't recompile it for some reason.
Can you give it a go? I can send you the edited files...
jboogie3 said:

Actually, only this line needs to be edited if I'm not mistaken:
Path: res\values\
File: bools.xml
Line: <bool name="has_tmo_driveSmart_settings">true</bool>
Process: Change the value from true to false
Any help would be appreciated. I've been trying but get errors when I try to recompile Settings.apk
Thanks!
Here's the original APK.
I hope someone can help me out. I've used APK Manager and APK Edit and neither tool can recompile it after I've edited it...
I was kinda hoping it would get rid of the settings portion when the apk's for drive smart were deleted as well. oh well.
That is exactly what this is aimed at.
I was able to delete the strings from the de-compiled code however, I got errors when re-compiling it.
Hopefully, someone out there can help with this...

Someone, try this please: Modified T-Mo Froyo Settings
Thanks!
Has anyone tried the modified Settings I posted?
I'll try it here in a little bit. If not today than tomorrow and let you know. Just install zip via recovery?
Nope. Rename the existing Settings.apk and Setting.odex and then move the modified Settings.apk to system/app/
Don't forget to set the correct permissions...
Thanks!

Can someone post a deodexed Settings.apk from the latest FroYo update please...
Anyone figure this out yet? I tried placing the settings.apk from this thread into my working kitchen folder over writing the stock settings.apk but when I flashed the rom the settings option was missing from the app draw???

See attached. I haven't used lidroid, but I tried recompiling apps without hitting the Signing Tool button and they all failed.

Wish I could have been more helpful, but I'm pretty new to this whole thing, too.
Unless you're replacing .9.png, you don't have to decompile the framework - just open it with ZIP, navigate to the right drawable folder and drop the new .png-s there.
After you recompile, make sure you take out the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder from the original framework ZIP and push to the new one, overwriting whatever is there.

yes it was a bit confusing, with compiling/decompiling the framework but I got it to work.
do the png have to have the same size? the ones that I want to replace?
Hi guys, someday ago i tried to decompile the SystemUI.apk. The modded version is named : SystemUI_mod.apk and the original is SystemUI.apk. I've done the copy procedure of META-INF folder, but every time i tried to push it to my phone, it cause my phone to get a bootlop. Is there any guide on how to decompile, editing, or something that is safe for my phone? And is there any way to mod my font colour to red, blue, or anything? Because my phone background is white, so i cant see anything Thanks for your help :highfive: Sorry if i posted it in the wrong section

I have kospect prime which is a android 7 watch. I'm trying to change the icons of wifi, Bluetooth, gps, etc.. . I extracted the frimware zip and extracted system.img and got into systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and found nothing related to those icons. I'm trying to replace them with good ones. Is there a way to change icons of status bar in android (Not rooting the watch). I wanna create a frimware with those modified icons and flash it. Does anyone know the location of those icons in android?

You have to unsign, decompile, modify then recompile unsigned, re-sign some system apps. Apps such as framework_res.apk, system.ui and maybe more.

All of your system apps are in those two folders, maybe you aren't looking for the correct package name. It won't necessarily be named the same as the app itself.
