>> Settings.apk

>> Framework-res.apk

- Icons

- Jellybean> Kitkat Platlogo> L (4.5) Platlogo

- Default wallpaper changing

Lets Start

Necessary Tools

> Apktools

> PC/Android Phone

> Settings.apk, Framework-res.apk

> Changing the logo of settings.apk

So first get the settings.apk of a ROM. And

decompile the apk using apktool/ u can also

extract the apk by Ninja Morph. After decompiling

a settings app by apktools, u will get=

> Meta-INF

> Res

> Android Manfiest.xml

> Apktool.yml

> Classes.dex

> Resourses.arsc

But if you extract the apk you will not get all of

these files! I mean the apktool.yml will be

missing. That’s not a matter in modding pngs :P

Ok now open the “res” folder… In the folder you

will see some folder.. There you will find a folder

named “drawable-hdpi” .. Open that folder U will

find a lot of PNGs! :/ Now you will find some Pngs

named..

> Ic_settings_dualsim.png

> Ic_settings_language.png

> Ic_settings_development.png

> Bla bla bla

I mean all those files named

ic_settings_xxxxxx.png

If you are too lazy to make them then you can get

them from any other ROM’s settings.apk and

replace them with your’s (this is what I do :P) Or

if you have time and brain to make them you can

make it but it must be of the same resolution!!

Now after completing every thing Recompile the

settings.apk then sign it and Enjoy the new

settings app 8-)

> Changing Platlogo

What is Platlogo?

Platlogo is that logo!! Go to settings> about

phone> android version!! Press on it for some

time back to back.. down you will see your

android version with its name. Above it you will

see a logo. That logo is known as PLATLOGO

Lets start

Same as before decompile/extract framework-

res.apk using apktools/ NinjaMorph. Now You will

find

Different files as before now open the folder “res”

There you will find a folder named “drawable-

nodpi”

In that folder u will find some .png files. You can

find Platlogo.png, Platlogo_alt.png U can replace to

png with any Platlogo from an Kikat rom J And now

recompile the framework-res.apk replace with

your stock one and enjoy the new Platlogo! ;)
