How to customise APK's Images [EASY]

---

First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.

Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.

Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.

Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.

Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.

And re-boot! Enjoy...

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.

Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

afaik, it's all or nothing. if you resign one system apk, you have to do for all system apk with the same key.

AND permissions.. make sure the permissions are same as original BEFORE putting it in the appropriate folder..

Thats the reason I prefer flashing instead of manually replacing the files cuz then you dont need to set the permissions. Its good for lazy people like me

I have tried it and it works. I did it because when I didn't it said "status bar force close".
