use a root explorer or browser. go to system folder then to media folder. find audio folder and in that is ui folder. find tw_touch.ogg copy and move that somewhere else (keep for backup) rename your sound tw_touch.ogg and put it in the audio/ui folder you were just in fix permissions to R-W-R-R and reboot. other than that i believe you'd have to edit an xml to change the file string.

I've done that for my touch sounds. All my ui sounds are fixed. But the dialer sounds are not located there. That file is in sec.contacts as stated above But I've tried to edit that system apk and I can't figure out how. That's where I'm needing help.

It's probably in an XML file. You'd have to decompile the seccontacts.apk with an apktool and locate the file. I'd suggest PM andy bones and throw him a couple of bucks to see if he can do it. He has a a mods request thread but since it's a special request I would just PM him the request...

i'm gonna look at it and see if i can get it, but i won't be able to test it. i'll send it back to you with the edited file. backup your seccontacts.apk just change apk to bak then push the one i send into your system apps fix permissions and reboot. see if it works. if not, i suggest asking Andy and just delete the one i send and rename the bak to apk

try this- https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2mkt35y2fshcs0/SecContacts.apk.zip

No go bro but close.... The phone app part closes ....thanks for giving it a go man

this is just a stock secsettings.apk yours I couldn't get to download, idk why, but can you flash this to test it to see if it works?
IF it does, I can edit the secsettings.apk you are using..
this is just a tester, no promises, but it build fine, and should work...

no problem. sorry it didn't work. i hope andy's zip does it for you. sorry no one else even tried for you.

good to hear. i knew Andy could get it done. does the zip just replace the sounds or does it affect other things?

The file just replaces the sounds. Works perfectly!!

[Q] Editing the default Background of SMS,Phone,Browser,Email?

Is there a possibility to edit the default backgrounds (blue, red, black, green Waves). I think its cool that it appears in stuff like the Settings Menu, the SMS App, the Phone and contacts app, the browser and the email app. So I like it better than havin all backgrounds black, but id rather like to use my own wallpaper, maybe a little darker, so that you can read everything.
Does anyone have a clue, which files i need to edit?
Phone is rooted.
You can install an app like GO Sms or similar apps from the GO Series of apps

good luck trying to edit the apks
i've tried and they wont install
decompiled them edited the png and they wont run anymore
i used a debug program and it turns out it's a certificate error.
at first i thought it was a signature problem but the apks were re-signed by me so i dont know whats wrong
if you figure out how to edit them and get them to re-install let me know....

Great, I found this file and it has the backgrounds of the menus. I extracted it with Winrar and now what I have to do to place the backgrounds I want?
I guess edit it, name it like the old one and put it back in.. I'll try out myself.

Ok, wont work that way. Need APK Edit (needs APK tool)
http://www.multiupload.com/3XHFLGS8P2
Okay... ApkEdit lets me edit the apk, but when i try to push it to my device, im stuck. I can push other apps though, maybe i cant install system apks. Too bad APKEdit cant simply save the file, that i can install it myself. Anyone got an idea what to do???
Ok, managed to push it to the play. No changes :-(( too much work for nothing.

"Defaultthemes.apk" is a system app installer. I mean, you have this installer, yes, but you have already installed the old one. So if you only change the apk file it maybe there wont be any direct change unless you uninstall it and reinstall it.
Not sure, but it's the only thing I can supose.
Let's see if we can change the boring backrounds from SE.
Ok, I edited succesfully the .apk file, but as others says, when you go to install it the phone asks if you want to overwrite the files, you click yes and then it says that the file wasn't installed.
Any way to solve this?
I want the background to be pure black.
If anyone can make that for me,it'd be greatly appreciated

You have to decompile each relevant APK and edit it. The Defaulthemes.apk doesn't affect any app.

I edited the apk directly with Winrar, without extracting it. But the problem is when you try to install it, first it asks if you want to overwrite the existing data but then it says the app wasn't installed.

[Q] Changing settings icon in apps drawer

I have been trying to change the settings icon in my app drawer.
I have edited the icon in settings.apk, systemui.apk framwork-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk but it is still showing the orgional icon.
I have been able to edit all the icons in the settings menu, but not the main icon its self.
Can anybody tell me what I need to edit?
I am using ICS sense 3.6 with 3.32.401.5_R as the rom base.
Thanks,
I would think it would be Settings/res/drawable-hdpi/common_app_ic_launcher_settings.png
Do you have a skin or anything applied that may be overriding your edited icon?
---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------
Looking at an extraction of the apk and I'm having second thoughts...
I don't have access to decompile to check resources, but it looks as though settings may be using mipmap:
Settings/res/mipmap-hdpi/ic_launcher_settings.png
Yes it is using the mipmap-hdpi/ic_launcher_settings.png file! Thank you very much I would have never thought of looking in there Icon is now changed!!!!

No problem. Remember, you may want to add matching mdpi and xhdpi versions of your icon as well...

[THEME] Real Icon Theme launchers -- now with Settings Theming

Well, I know I said I was retired but I felt a little bored tonight so I decided to make a few launcher icons. You can download them individually if you only want one or you can download the flashable.zip to get them all.
If gmail and hangouts doesnt change, just go into /data/app and delete the one that isn't themed.
They are from a 4.4.3 De-odexed rom so only use that.
EDIT: I now added theming for the main Icons in Settings.
Here they are....
Not sure how much dropbox will let download but here is the folder they are in...
Launchers Here
Flashable Here
And we are baaaaaaack!!!!

What rom are you running? The gallery apk is actually an htc update that gets dropped in data/app. Check in there and see if you have 2 apk's. Also its possible that the rom dev updated it and put it in system/priv-app already in which case mine may not take effect.
As far as file manager, I will have to look at that. Did you have it before? Are you on an odex or deodex rom? Maybe to troubleshoot, go into app manager, slide to the right until you get to all, find File Manager and clear its data. Then try running it again. Let me know what you find.

ok, i uploaded a new version of the file that includes the gallery in the original place as well in case the dev replaced it with the new version. Also, maybe the file manager just uploaded bad so see if it works this time.
Running the latest cleanrom with no mods. Latest zip fixed gallery but file manager still FC. Clearing cache & data, still a no go. Thanks!

That's so weird because it works great for me. Did you have it before you got mine? If so maybe check /system/app and /system/priv-app and see if there is another copy still that you can remove.

Great. Thanks for letting me know
if you are using a more stock rom like starfall or cleanrom, this one has settings built in too... oh and i changed hangouts to green so it represented it more
get it here
I updated the flashable zip so it is vrtheme... you shouldn't lose your other theming now.
I now added theming for the main Icons in Settings. The only icon I couldn't find yet is the printer icon but the rest are themed. Just redownload the flashable zip and flash it again. I'll put pics up late.
for those of you that installed the flashable earlier today, you may want to download it and flash it again, i found the missing printer icon so settings is fully themed now. I also fixed the link :fingers-crossed:
Here are the pics of the added settings.

Hey EMS,
How did you manage to get the files to recompile with the .9's?
Mine wont recompile if I use the conversion tool unless I rename all of the .9.png files.

I use a program called Batch Photo and run all png images through it before I build. I copy the pngs to the program, then I add the filter HUE. I set the values all to zero and run the batch. It cleans up any 9 png problems.
Works every time!!

So what values are you setting that keeps these .9.png's clean, I would like to test that out, if i edit the .9s in photoship, could I then run it through batch photo to repair the file? I have to rename the .9 to just png to import into photo shop and thats a pain in the ass

drag png's to batch photo first page. Click next. Then click add filter and choose HUE leave ll values at zero. Click next and select use original folder for output. Then click process. That's it!!
We lucked out on the Galaxy S5.
We have an Android L leak and it still retains the png's.
So even if they decide to compress the final version, we've already gotten a head start.
What are you using to convert these to png then to deodex and zip align? I would like to also work on a bootanimation.qmg and I am not sure how to extract the pngs from the qmg as well as the desc.txt to get the proper frames...any help if you don't mind

Have you tried converting the file you want to alter to png first?
Requires deleting the original wpb file, inserting the converted one and recompiling the apk so it recognizes the png too.
