Transparent Google Voice Inbox

[corefile]

I have the google voice with the inbox and settings widgets, not the best looking widgets. I'm would like to change the background of the inbox transparent. I tried the following, opened the googlevoice-0.4.1.19.apk with 7zip, and found all the background .png's in \googlevoice-0.4.1.19\res\drawable-hdpi. I copied the inbox background png to my computer, edited in GIMP to make the inbox background transparent, and copied back to apk file. when I try to install via application manager is will not install. What am I doing wrong, probably alot since I have no idea if what I'm doing is suppose to work or not.

Try to resign the apk.

If you are able to get this working, I would love to have it in my phone as well.

Good luck and thank you in advance!

You're going to want to do a couple things. Pngout the pngs when you are done editing and resign the apk. Check out this link http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html
