Hi all galaxy 3 users, i have got a good news for you people !!
After being inspired by the ICS style Settings for Experia X8 for CM7(GINGER BREAD),i decided to do something like that for g3 with froyo.
I'm not an expert or something like that but a learner and a beginner. I googled, got clues from the above mentioned thread, played with the 'xml' files of Settings.apk and finally found the way !! :D

I have completed modding the whole MAIN screen of settings and added new icon for the app !..............Interiors are the same. They will be modded and released in the next update.

DOWNLOADS(modded main-screen only):
Without Unlock Settings: http://www.mediafire.com/?4y6w66dk43z7o50

WITH Unlock Settings: http://www.mediafire.com/?rbhjarq8aua3r28
Install as Update.zip !!

Here is are the screen-shots :

Here is a look of the original settings menu of ICS:

I certainly do not know how make the on/off icons appear on side, but can make other things similar to that !!

One known bug is that, both SECURITY and LOCATION SERVICE point to the same screen.It is because Location and Security settings are in same screen. I'll try make same changes for it.

I will complete modding the INTERIORS and post it in the next update !!

I have used aarrun's Perfect ICS theme in the screen-shot !


Post your views and opinions about this !!!:)

A very short n non-detail tut:

I decompiled stock settings.apk

I just modified the res/values/Strings.xml for all the new/additional text

Also modify xml files in res/xml

Add the required icons in res/drawable-ldpi

I try to post a full fledged tutorial after completing this project first !! :D

Source is the settings.apk from the above mentioned link..........if you would like to contribute, I will upload the settings.apk and framework-res.apk the xperia for you to decompile and with d help of that, we can mod our settings.apk !!

EDIT: I have attached the decompiled Settings.apk of Xperia8 with ICS style settings.

Just instaled and it's very nice, good joob. And i'm agree with aarrun, you should use smaller text, and try to add some space at the left like in ics ;)

I think for smaller text, we need to reduce the LCD Density........but already we have the lowest density.....ldpi-120.
Is there any other way to decrease the font size ??
