I know a lot of people were losing the multi-touch browser after installing a theme. So here is the browser.apk pulled from JF1.41.
Put browser.apk in the same directory as adb to make things simple.
If you want to try this out:
Wipe your phone in recovery mode
Update to JF1.41
Install your theme
while still in recovery mode:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/browser.odex
adb push browser.apk /system/app/browser.apk
you should have your theme and the modified MT browser working.
I tried it with 3 different themes and it worked in all 3.
Thanks =] I wanted this
luke has them on his blog post as well.

Thanks JesusFreke, I was looking for his blog. =]
Couldnt you unzip the theme and replace the browser apk as well? There was another thread about doing this with the old auto rotate browser.

You should be able to. Replace the Superuser.apk while you're at it. And be sure to resign the zip before you apply it
Great Broswer Apk

I think he wants to be adventurous and recompile the apk's from the source code.
Is there an apk for the 1.3 of Superuser? Or is this implemented in a different way into this update?
If someone has an apk to throw on here, it would be greatly appreciated.

how would u do this by replacing the browser.apk in the update file? read some things on it, didnt really get how to do it. any step by steps available?
NO .APK
On lukehutchs web blog there are no .apk. u must download and then build the .apk
Yourself. So if anyone has them already. Hint: Jesusfreke already as a .apk files. Please upload the .apk files for the Map, Pic sorter & the visaulizer.

Yeah man its right on the page, aree you sure you aree on the right page
http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
Don't worry I sometimes miss things that are right in front of me.
In the first paragraph under each Multi Touch demo app it says, get the sourse 'here' OR get the .APK HERE click on the second 'here' if you can't I don't know what to say, you can ctrl-F and look for .apk
Also any way of rm the browser odex and copying the new apk from the phone ie the command in recovery or do I need a computer would be great because won't be near one for two days.
umm guys i kno this new browser has auto rotate but how in the world do you enable it lol
Triplr checked it. This is crazy
I dont know if im crazy or yall are crazy.
Listen I went to LUKE HUTCH's site & if u download any of the .apk Zips that he's posted on the site. U will find that there all filled with all the folders to make the App; to compile a .apk file but there are no .apk files in the: MTVisualizer Zip, MTPhotoSortrDemo or MTMapsDemo Folders.
You guys shouldactually try to download a folder & dig through all of them like i did. They arent there. If u guys see somewhere beside that site. let me know.
Solike i said in the 1st post. If someone......ANYONE! could make the .apk Files & post them to the forum. it would be greatly apreaciated cuz no one hyas these .apk period execpt for LUKE himself.
I started a theme the other day, and I'm moving through the files pretty quickly but without context it's hard to know which graphic is which. So I want to flash or apply the current work I'm doing so I can see where things are and how they look.
Right now I'm working through a deodexed version of Froyo so all the files should be in order. Assuming that I strip out all files but the graphics, how do I create a update.zip for it or use any other method? I'm new to Android so any help would be appreciated.
I'm guessing you already have the sdk installed?

Yup. SDK + Eclipse.
Emulator? no?
you can either figure out how to make them Metamorph compatible (sorry, can't give you advice on that, never done it)
Or you can put the images in the correct folder of whatever .apk they go in and make a flashable update.zip, basically replacing the existing .apk's with the full complete modded ones.
You'll need to put all the modded .apk's into a file structure that mimicks where they would be on the phone and zip that structure up with an update_script and sign the update.zip.
I would highly recommend you unzip some small flashable .zip and poke around in it to see the structure and look at the update_script.
This is a download link to a transparent tray mod I did. It replaces ONE .png but because I chose to make it a flashable .zip it requires replacing the framework-res.apk. Except for the actual .apk's you'll need to put in it, this .zip would be perfectly suitable to use as a base for your mods (and you're welcome to use it). If you did use it you would put your .apk's in the system/framework folder, delete the 3 cert files in the META folder, zip the system and META folders into "update.zip" and sign it using an autosign script.
fire away with any questions
ps, you don't need eclipse or the sdk for any of this but you will need an auto-sign script which is one of the tools in Avabox
AFAIK you couldnt use the emulator in the SDK to preview this stuff anyways because you can't get Sense running on the emulator, not to mention the emulator runs SOOOOO SLOOOOWWWWW. Even if you could get Sense running on the em I would bet you would spend less time making a nand, flashing your mods, checking them out and restoring your nand if you didn't like them than using an emulator to preview this stuff.

Thanks a lot. Seeing the file, it makes sense. In your simple example you modded the framework res APK -- did you have to sign that single APK or was it taken care of when you signed the update.zip? I've modded some apps already and I know that with single APKs you have to sign them so it can be installable again. Don't know if that is needed once you sign the update.zip.
BTW, I can't wait to release this theme. It makes Sense look substantially better.

Actually signing the .apk's is not necessary. If all you're doing is swapping out images just open the .apk's archinve with 7zip (or similar program) and drop the new .png's into the correct folder (almost always res/drawable-hdpi)
Signing the .zip makes it flashable, the .apk is usable whether you sign it into a .zip or not. Actually when you're testing stuff out I find it's much quicker to just push the modified .apk to the phone via usb, I don't make a flashable .zip until it's ready for sharing
If you push a framework file to the phone ADB REBOOT immediately.
Also, don't be surprised if some of your wallpaper gets reset to stock and your google account gets wiped out after reboot, comes with the territory

Cool, just so it's clear, and I'm sorry to bug, but I'd have to pull (remove I guess)
the file before pushing the new one in?

meh, you can use another compatable copy. I always just pull it first for 2 reasons: 1) I know its the one I'm using at the moment and 2) if you're gonna be using adb it's just convenient to have it right on c:\, less typing

This was very helpful to me as well; thanks!
Actually I just thought of a question. After you sign the file and it becomes update_signed.zip can you rename it to something else like BlahBlah.zip and have it still flash properly?
Tried twice and it failed. It would create to Meta files and not find the update script. Followed the directions but that still happened; any advice?
I've Google searched, and searched my phone for all png, bmp and jpg files. I can't find anything.
If I want to view or replace certain Android images, where would I find them?
For example, the wifi icon picture that shows in the status bar.
(Android 4.4.2 Note 3, rooted with Cyanogenmod.)
These images are packaged into .apk files. These apk files are then stored in /system/app or /system/priv-app
For this you will need to learn Android device themeing. The images aren't standalone and they are present in specific files. The file or files you are looking for is the framework-res.apk or systemUI.apk.
If you need help with theming let me know.

Anybody have the Notocoloremoji ttf file they can share? I rooted my G5 last week and was wanting to put ios emojis. I installed emoji switcher app but wasn't happy with the ios emojis because it seemed like a lot of them were missing. I deleted the app like an idiot before restoring the default emojis and I no longer have the original ttf file. I have twrp recovery backup but I really don't want to have to go through all the hastle... Would rather just replace the file and be done with it.
Anybody who's rooted should have access to this file. Its located in the /system/fonts folder. If you can copy the file and send my way it'd be much appreciated.

That's the one I just pulled from my H830 let me know if you need it uploaded somewhere else
Thank you! Good looking out.
Interesting... I was browsing the web looking for this file before I posted here and came across emojipedia website and it shows that the LG G5 has 1632 emojis with all the different skin tones. I guess the Tmobile variant only has about 827? I wonder if other carriers have them all...
Hi all,
I'm trying to fiddle with a Google apk file that I'm reskinning. Essentially there are multiple versions of the app in the wild already, but one has a dark grey background and I'm trying trying to make it all black.
I figure I need to change the xml file contained within the app. I guess I can just root and edit the xml file that way but I want to stay un-rooted if possible. That means editing the APK.
I downloaded Android Multitool and am trying to unpack the APK, make the necessary changes, and repack it. I'll probably run into signature issues down the road but currently I'm stil struggling with repacking. Specifically, I think I need a framework-res.apk, which I don't know how to find.
I'm assuming I need a stock Android framework-res.apk given the nature of the app, but I don't know where to find one....
