i want to change the stocks system apps icon, 3 out of 16 apps that the icon has changed were missing (but the rest are working perfectly), the missing one were
-Contacts.apk
-DownloadProviderUi.apk
-Settings.apk
the method that im using was
-using APK Editor,
-open res
-and replace the ic_launcher_(app name).png in mipmap-hdpi/mdpi/xhdpi with each resolution of my own icon.
-then put them in system/app or system/priv-app and change the permission to rw-r-r
oddly enough that those 3 apps were the only one that didnt work
help me . and what causes the problem?
New to Android world, hope i can find some guidance
Thank You very much1

Hello, everyone.
First time poster here, so please bear with me.
I have a HTC Sensation, and recently i rooted and installed MIUI rom on it.
Everything is working great so far, the only thing im having problems is the TTS.
I want to install SVOX, or IVONA, because i hate how TTS Pico sounds, i downloaded and installed, and tried multiple times, but even tho i can change the engine in the options after its installed, it doesn't seem to work with anything, i mainly want it for navigation and speaktoit assistant, but yeah... they both talk with Pico, but remain quiet if i change the engine,
any suggestions? do i need to install something else to get it working with MIUI? because it worked for me with the default OS.
Thanx in advance!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Oki i will from now on, and sorry, just new
On the other note, can someone help me with my problem?
PICO TTS Working on MIUI 7
Miui 7 here, but 5 and 6 comes the same way: PICO TTS installed but not working because not languages installed.
check my fix here
Hi. I hate google TTS for spanish lang, rather Pico TTS is more neutral and friendly for long hearing.
I found that Pico TTS wasn't working on Miui 5, 6 and 7. (it has the app installed but not the languages)
SOLUTION
1- Get the lang files of Pico TTS (see attached zip)
2- Copy these files to system / tts / lang_pico , folder (need Root Explorer or ES File Explorer with root permision)
3- Change permission attributes of folder to DRWXR-XR-R (folder TTS and folder LANG_PICO)
4- Enjoy Pico TTS
pd: please note that GE language has been removed in order to avoid attachment limit (but you can find all these files in any android with PICO TTS on it sysem/tts folder)
CHANGING PERMISSIONS
In order to change permisions you need ES Explorer, or Root Explorer or similar, with root access granted.
How To change permissions with EX EXPLORER
1- select folder
2- more -> propertes -> permisssions ->> change
3- OWNER: read, write and execute. GROUP read execute. OTHER read execute
4- close,
5- go to SETTINGS -> MORE -> INPUT METHODS .. -> OUTPUT -> PICO and will se langages instaled =)
I have a play store installed application running on my samsung admire (android 3.2.6 GB) and i need to edit the AndroidManifest.xml associated with it.
Can I do this and how?
up
you should be able to copy the file to your sd or storage, transfer it to your pc, then edit it. just use reverse order to replace it and make sure the permissions are correct.
i would change the name of the original file to .bak before replacing the new one, encase something doesnt work right and you need to revert.
obviously root would be needed to get and replace the file.

It's really helpfull

Problem Solved
Bring it on ! That App will rename it for you!
>> Settings.apk
>> Framework-res.apk
- Icons
- Jellybean> Kitkat Platlogo> L (4.5) Platlogo
- Default wallpaper changing
Lets Start
Necessary Tools
> Apktools
> PC/Android Phone
> Settings.apk, Framework-res.apk
> Changing the logo of settings.apk
So first get the settings.apk of a ROM. And
decompile the apk using apktool/ u can also
extract the apk by Ninja Morph. After decompiling
a settings app by apktools, u will get=
> Meta-INF
> Res
> Android Manfiest.xml
> Apktool.yml
> Classes.dex
> Resourses.arsc
But if you extract the apk you will not get all of
these files! I mean the apktool.yml will be
missing. That’s not a matter in modding pngs
Ok now open the “res” folder… In the folder you
will see some folder.. There you will find a folder
named “drawable-hdpi” .. Open that folder U will
find a lot of PNGs! :/ Now you will find some Pngs
named..
> Ic_settings_dualsim.png
> Ic_settings_language.png
> Ic_settings_development.png
> Bla bla bla
I mean all those files named ic_settings_
xxxxxx.png
If you are too lazy to make them then you can get
them from any other ROM’s settings.apk and
replace them with your’s (this is what I do ) Or
if you have time and brain to make them you can
make it but it must be of the same resolution!!
Now after completing every thing Recompile the
settings.apk then sign it and Enjoy the new
settings app
> Changing Platlogo
What is Platlogo?
Platlogo is that logo!! Go to settings> about
phone> android version!! Press on it for some
time back to back.. down you will see your
android version with its name. Above it you will
see a logo. That logo is known as PLATLOGO
Lets start
Same as before decompile/extract framework-
res.apk using apktools/ NinjaMorph. Now You will
find
Different files as before now open the folder “res”
There you will find a folder named “drawable-
nodpi”
In that folder u will find some .png files. You can
find Platlogo.png, Platlogo_alt.png U can replace to
png with any Platlogo from an Kikat rom J And now
recompile the framework-res.apk replace with
your stock one and enjoy the new Platlogo!
> Changing Default Wallpaper

I just flashed KatKiss4.4.4 on my Tf101. It absoluetly smooth and lovely to use, except the Hindi/Devnagri are not pesent. I have already tried the following with no luck.
1. Installed (copied them in /system/fonts folder & rebooted the tab) DroidHindi.ttf & DroidSansFallback.ttf from a older version which supposedly supports hindi.
2. Tried an app from App store Fontoosh which claims to install hindi fonts for rooted device but didn't work
Any tips/pointers would help ?
If this not right place for the above query please point me to it.... Thanks
Hi Guys,
Need some assistance here.
I want to customize the pre-install apps on my device (Meaning adding another)
I noticed there is already a DIR (/vendor/operator/app ) where facebook, twitter and all other .apk files is.
If I add another .apk file there, where is the script where I should state that it must also install the new .apk's?
Also selinux... if I change the bootanimation.zip in /system/media it default back to the standard Android bootscreen.
How do I further check my permissions? I did a getfacl on the original bootanimation.zip and a setfacl on new bootanimation.zip (permissions is the same)
What am I missing?
Is there some sort of basic guide for customizing the basics in Android 5.1?
Thanks
