[MOD] How to change Smileys/Emoticons

First you have to get YOUR Rom's Framework-res.apk
REQUIREMENTS:
MUST BE ROOTED
ROM MANAGER
ClockWorkMod Recovery
There are 4 main ways to get it: (Thanks to avreen)
1.From the zip file of your ROM
Code:
Download the ROM you are using.
Decompress/unzip it using 7zip/winzip .
Open System/Framework/ in the unziped folder
Take the framework-res.apk in system/framework/ folder.
Place it anywhere you want (on the desktop for example).
2.From your phone
Download a file manager (Astro or ES File Explorer or other...) in the Market.
Go to /system/framework/ folder in your phone.
Copy the framework-res.apk in your SDCard.
Place it anywhere you want (on the desktop for example).
3. Use file from the kitchen
Code:
You can select file of your ROM/Theme from drop-down list in file upload section.
We have corrected files for most popular roms/themes.
4. Alternatively you can also use ThemePro to extract it from your Rom.
Before starting editing your framework-res.apk you should make an other copy of it if you want to restore your original framework.
Copy it and rename it as framework-res_ORIGINAL.apk for example.
Then go to http://circle.glx.nl/
Choose the 4th option ("No Battery, theme only")
Click Next
Choose the 2nd option ("Themed icons sets (Froyo roms only)")
Click Next
Click the box(include icons) under EMOTICONS then click preview for you to see the emoticons, after choosing the emoticons you like (i chose B2 all set) leave everything as it is (THIS GUIDE IS FOR CHANGING YOUR EMOTICONS ONLY)
Click Next
The "Do not change notification status bar" option should be preselected here and again LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT IS.
Click next
The "Do not include bootanimation" option should be preselected here and again LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT IS.
Click next
The "Do not include windows animation" option should be preselected here and again LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT IS.
Click next

[MOD] Change 4G/H+/H/3G icons on your BUTTERFLY S

So guys ,
i've created this Mod to set Static Operator Icons (like iOS) .
In my opinion, static icons are more beautiful and these icons especially with great design for the graphic design. I don't like the tipical android operator icons with arrows up and down and bad resolution .
4G becomes LTE
H+ become H+(with checkmark)
no preview for now
H becomes H (with checkmark )
3g becomes 3G (restiled)
(all this icons, and others more, are natively contained inside Stock HTC Rom ...)
How to :
1.use the Root Explorer on your phone and navigate to the System/App folder, now COPY your SystemUI.apk to the SDCard folder.
2.Now plug your phone to your computer. I would suggest copying the SystemUI.apk to your Desktop and keep it as a backup, then copy another one to your Desktop for editing purposes.
3.Once you have copied one to your desktop, right click on it, and click on 7-Zip -> Open Archive. Navigate to res -> drawable-xxhdpi. Now Unzip the zip file you just downloaded from here, then drag those files here attached (without their folders) to the 7Zip window that you opened up. Click yes to overwrite, wait for the process to finish, then close the window.
4.Now copy that SystemUI.apk that it's in your desktop (your edited one) and paste it back to your phone's SDCard and overwrite the one that's there.
5.Now, open Root Explorer App, on the top, click where is says Mount R/W. Scroll down and tap on the sdcard folder. Find the SystemUI.apk, long press it then press copy. After that, press back, then go to the System/App folder. Once again, press the Mount R/W button, if it says Mount R/O then don't press that. Then simply paste the SystemUI.apk and hit yes when it asks you to overwrite it.
SystemUI might crash, don't worry about it.
6.After Device respring itself , return to Root Explorer App, Scroll down and find the newly upgraded SystemUI.Apk in the System/App folder, (be sure it says Mount R/O then don't press that) long press it and press Permissions.
Now set your permissions like this
X=Checked
O= Unchecked
X----X-----X
X----O----O
X----O----O
After that just Restart your phone!
That's it!

thx, will try it

thank
thanks for this

Use 25 for all dip values to match status bar; or use a bigger number for all three values to make them bigger. Then save.
7. Now we need to Compile the apk with AndroidMultiTool. Under Compiling, select the folder /decomplied_apk/framework-res and click OK. Then click compile. After it's done, you can close Android Multitool
8. Go to the original framework-res.apk in the Files folder and rename it to framework-res.zip

Under framework-res folder no sub folder res creating, and in android multi tool log showing 7 errors relating with java. please get back to me.
