Has anyone managed to do this?
I'm learning how to decompile and compile these two apk files to change some preferences with the S6 but not working out.
Anyone have experience with modifying apk files?

I'm able to decompile and recompile them no problem. I'm trying to center the clock though and not having much luck.

I'm trying to remove volume warning and sfinder and quick connect. Center clock would be pretty cool.
Are you using apktool? I tried to edit the framework-res.apk but upon installing it bootloops. Any suggestions?

Decompile then compile without editing. See if our still loops

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)

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.

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...

Hi, I decompiled the Launcher on the galaxy s5 and I extracted this file so that the most 'experts can tell which files (lib or framwork) are used to make this launcher on galaxy i9505 ...
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/17j83mq77uz28dk/AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-library android:name="touchwiz"/>
<uses-library android:name="sws"/>
<meta-data android:name="android.nfc.disable_beam_default" android:value="true"/>
<meta-data android:name="rcpFileCopier" android:value=""/>

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
Also search for lib or .so in notepad++ it will tell you what libs it needs
nop
Is it possible also to i9500
Yes it is do the same thing. We can use I9500 launcher on I9505 so just do the same thing.
Get deodex version of the system dump or deodex it yourself.
Decompile the apk and look for needed libs in the androidmanifest.
(sws & touchwiz is in framework folder)
Now open up notepad++ and search for lib or .so files.
There's is possibility that it uses some new files due to its "magazine" feature oh and you might need magazine as well. Can't tell right now sorry.

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.
9 png's

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.

Hey guys,
so I tried to modify the SystemUI.apk to get a stock Nougat feeling but it does not work for me.
I used APKTOOL (java -jar apktool.jar d SystemUI.apk for decompiling and b SystemUI/ for compiling).
But when I flashed it, there is no Statusbar anymore, the SystemUI.apk is broken. I only changed a few colors in res/values/colors.xml.
Don't know what I did wrong.
Maybe someone can give me a simple Guide to make it.
Thank you!

Well, I'm not an expert, and the last time I modified a SystemUI was on a Sony device, months ago, so it might be different for Samsung/new devices, I don't know, really.
But if I remember correctly you need the framework-res apk too, somewhere from the /system/framework.
Here is a thread that might help.
Also, you need to set the right permission for system apps.
Best regards.
