i think it's in java so......

Go to res/values/strings.xml..open strings.xml using Notepad++ and edit the app name..

thanks for corection .....
you will need to extract apk with some apk tool because xml files are unreadable

And don't forget to sign...unless it's a system app.

Did you check up PowerOff.apk ? If you know how to open it and modify apk files, try to explore poweroff.apk.
Someone says shutdown images are in that file.
It's in /system/app/PowerOff.apk
but I`m not sure other types of O2X have same apk and modyfing method.
I recently succeeded modifying shutdown animation. As I wrote, Changing images and xml will be needed in PowerOff.apk
I hope it helps you

Hi,
look here: w.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_optimus_speed_p990_forum/201102-lg_optimus_speed_p990_shutdown_animation_aendern_cwm_mod.html
There you can download a CWM package to change the shutdown animation.

Signing requires only for 3rd party applications.

Okay How to change icon and background?
By the way is this signing process important for creating your own mod?
Extract the application using 7zip and change the icons in the res folder.
After changing the icons right click the application .apk - open archive
And drag the modified res to it and click ok if it ask to replace.
Then copy app to phone and sign it.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!

Thanks for ur response... but i seem to have used all the apktools available... i can recompile the "-res.apk" but when i put it back to \system\framework ... the UI FCs and the notification bar doesnot load.
unfortunately od has stopped. >> is the message i get when i put the modified "-res.apk".
i have noticed one thing that the recompiled apk doesnot have META-INF folder... although i tried to copy it and gave a try but still no go...
what i am trying to do is using a themed apk like lidroid or crikelos res .. decompile .. change some text under the toggle buttons ...
what am i doing wrong... ?
hmm... have you tried setting back the permissions on your modified -res.apk in /system/framework? Mounting it before hand?
If you have, you may indeed try to ask some devs or someone who knows their way in recompiling apks as this is a sensitive matter to touch with and I'm moderately more on contributing stuffs rather than delving into the internal programmings on the android ecosystem.
hmmm.. i have changed permissions as well still... Thanks for taking the time out

Go to apkyool.yml
Edit with notepad++
And below
-1
Add -2
So it would look like
-1
-2
Then compile it lidroid-res again
Also make sure you have twframework-res.apk
And framework-res.apk installed

Only sign lidroid if you have signed every apk in your rom
I normally do this
Decompile apk
Make changes
Compile apk
Go to original apk
Press right
7-zip
Open as archive
Delete res
Delete resources.arsc
Leave the 7-zip archive open
Go to
The decompiled folder
Go to build/apk
Copy all except androidmanifest.xml to the archive
Then its done you have an apk
