Is it possible to change the default "no-photo" android image in the htc dialer?
The little green android guy that pops up for everyone in my contact list that doesn't have a facebook photo assigned to them, he annoys me.

yes. you have to edit the framework-res.apk

If not there, try phone.apk

Easiest way is to download Ninjamorph...choose to do a new project and open up the framework-res.apk in the system folder. Once you do that...scroll to find the people_detail_defaultphoto.png (72x72) and people_home_defaultphoto.png (106x106), replace them one at a time to a photo you have on the root of your SD card. It's good to rename the photo that you are using to read exactly what the system one reads. It will ask you if you want to replace, say yes.
After you do both, choose to finish project. Make you say "NO" when it ask you if you want to ZIP ALIGN. When finish....reboot and see if it changed. It should but I find that some people have run into problems with Ninjamorph not working correctly.

[HOWTO] Easily get theme's default wallpaper

Hey, I just discovered a way to get a theme's default wallpaper without asking for it to the developer, I'm sorry if this is obvious for you and this thread is completely unnecessary, but I think it's an interesting point to look at
Ok, let's go
- First, open the zip of the theme with winrar or something similar
- Without unzipping, go to system>framework and unzip only framework-res.apk
- Now, again, open the apk extracted with winrar
- Look for res>drawable-hdpi and there you will find the default_wallpaper.jpg
Unzip that, put it in your phone and enjoy
NOTE:If you don't find in that folder the wallpaper you wanted, you can also look for it in another folder in res called "drawable". Look again for default_wallpaper.jpg

Hi, thanks for this useful post. I know this is an old one but i didn't want to open a new topic.
I want to get the other stock wallpapers of i9003 itself has. (For example, the green one). What should i do? I found only one wallpaper in that directory, not all of them.

Use a root file browser in your phone,
Go to system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk
View the files, go to res/drawable-hdpi
All the stock wallpapers are in there. Extract the wallpaper you like.
I used root browser.
Edit: if you're not rooted, you can use astro file browser. It can copy from system without root.

GO launcher wallpaper extraction

I really love this wallpaper that comes as a default on go launcher now, but even after about an hour of research I can't find the actual wallpaper to download anywhere on the Internet. Now I know it can be extracted from the apk of the theme but I don't have the resources to do it. I was wondering if anybody had the picture or wanted to take on the challenge of extracting it.

Here's an extraction process I found. But I'm not able to do it
1. First navigate to the /data/app folder on your SD card.
2. Locate the particular theme that you want to get the wallpaper from.
3. Select the theme. On my setup, package installer pops up a window and asks what to do..install,view or cancel. Click view
4. Select the res folder
5. select the drawable-hdpi folder
6. Find the default_wallpaper.png
7. Long press on it and the option to extract comes up. Select extract and the file is moved to the extracted folder on my SD card.
8. From there set wallpaper with your app of choice.
9. If you plan on extracting more than one file. You have to rename the files in your extracted folder or else they will over write one another.

[MOD] Theme Store- How to keep your stock icons on any theme

*Dont you hate when you like a theme but hate the icons!!! I will give you a simple guide to download the theme you want and keep your stock icons
~Keep your stock icons for any theme~
*ROOTED REQUIRED*
*Please read complete guide*
*Make sure you are not using the theme you are applying this to! Apply a different theme while your editing this file!
1. Using a file explorer, go to data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson and find the theme you want to keep stock icons!
2. Open file and hit the edit button! Look for this line a little ways down:
"appicon":"com.cambunch.ThemeName.appicon",
and delete it! Save file and reboot!
3. Now you can go to theme store and apply that theme and have stock icons
***Also see post #10 for another simple guide thanks to @SICKMADE***
***This should work for any theme in userjson file, just follow same steps and remember to save and reboot before you apply theme!!!
***JUST HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME***
Screen shots of files and before and after:

Note 5 have to be root or not to work ??

Yes, because you will have to use a root file explorer! ES FILE Explorer etc.

Good work[emoji106] [emoji106]

Which one? Part 1 or 2?
If icons didnt stay stock, go back to the file you deleted the line and make sure it saved with that line deleted! It did that for me and when i went back and checked file, the line was still there and i re- deleted it, made sure i saved file and rebooted and it worked!

Hmmm, it works for me! Deleted that appicon line, saved then rebooted, applied theme and i have stock icons! Ive tried it on a few themes and all have worked!
Make sure that you do not have that theme currently applied! Apply another theme then go back and apply theme that you did that for!

All you have to do if you don't like any paticular part of a sammy theme is install a root file manager... I use root browser but what ever you choose as long as it uses root is fine... then once opened file manager navigate to the data/app folder. Here you will find every apk and or sammy theme that you have installed onto your device. Simply scroll down until you find the specific group of folders for which ever theme your wanting to remove a paticular part of ex. Accuweather, App Icons, etc. Once you've located the file you don't want to use with the theme anymore like the icons "themename.appicon-1" simply delete the folder and reboot and badaboom stock icons are back! I hope that made some sense lol

This is the best Thread ever !!! I always wanted this, thanks alot !!! Very Helpful

Yes you can.. I have just tried using a keyboard theme I like on different theme by just copy pasting corresponding lines from one to another.

This also allows you to change your icons to anything you want using the galaxy icon themer app in play store

How To Modify Themes From Theme Store For S6/Note5 Roms.

Hello again everybody!
So today I have a way for you to modify themes that are from official samsung theme Store, the method is hard and it does take a lot of time so bare with me.
First of all you will need a rooted device, obviously lol
Also you will need to have, root explorer and xploer. Now for the stepes:
1- Open root explorer and go to Data > App
2- You will see many many folders for the theme, in my case I will modify something in the home screen so the folder should have your theme name and then home and the end like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.home-1 )
3- Open the folder you will find an apk called base.apk
3- copy that apk and paste To somewhere else
4- Open explore and find the copied Base.apk
5- modify the things you want, for an example I changed the folder Look, I took a folder icon, renamed it To .qmg instead of .jpg then renamed that icon exactly like the folder icon For the theme, then deleted That old One and replaced it with the new one. ( do the same with any icon you want in any base.apk)
6- Open root explorer, take the new modified base.apk and replace it with the old one, set permissions And then reboot.
If it didn't work On the first time then apply the theme then apply another theme And then apply the theme again.
This may not be the best way, but it's the only way to modify them so far.
Do not copy my method on any place without my permission!! Thank you.
Hit Thanks if you liked it!

How to modify only wallpaper and other images in theme

Go to the same place, find a folder named your theme and then wallpaper like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.wallpaper ) you will find an apk inside called base.apk go inside, then go inside res And then you will find 3 wallpapers, one for homescreen one for lockscreen, one for Sview cover.

I know that as I have done that Before. ..But what about the settings page,contacts page And other pages wallpaper...How to change them...bcoz for changing wallpapers of homescreen,lockscreen and s-view we don't have to modify an apk we can simply change it Through settings...

You will find other folders but instead of having wallpaper at the end, you will see contacts, settings, home...etc

Hello MrHollywood, looks like no one has posted here for a while but I'll give it a shot and hope for a reply/help. Your instructions are great, I've been wanting to know how to do this since my Galaxy S6.....I'm now onto an S8, rooted and rockin' an altered theme thanks to you! I have been able to use another themes icon pack with success, however when I use another theme's "InCallUI" (accept, reject, hangup icons in phone dialer) I cannot get them to stick. They will stay for a duration then default back to the Samsung goofy cartoon icons. I know that restarting phone triggers the reset but it also randomly triggers without restart. I can get them back by applying another theme then re-applying my theme....but a bit of a pain to have to do everytime!
What I have done, as per your instructions, is taken the "InCallUI.apk" out of theme's "base.apk", edited it and replaced. I have also placed that same edited InCallUI.apk into; Data > Overlays > Style > mytheme folder, then changed permissions to "rwx r-- r-w". I use these permission because all the other apk's in this folder use them.
Any advise or corrections in what I'm doing would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
