[Q] Theme Incoming call screen on Galaxy Y?

Is there a way to choose/make/browse themes [FULL] only for incoming call screens? Especially for Samsung Galaxy Y, the stock answering call is really bad.
Is it possible to download / theme the incoming call screen via Metamorph? And where to find such themes for Samsung Galaxy Y?
I already know about some third-party apps on Play store such as Ultimate Call Screen HD, but they don't do what I need.
p.s. I'm NOT looking either for ROMs with different incoming call screens (I'm here for a simple way to theme the incoming call screens for android)

I decompiled Phone.apk
there are many xml files and png images, I'm looking for the images that targets "specifically" the incoming call screen items such as the background, frames, sliders. What are the png/xml file names to tweak those specific things

Wow... I couldn't find the background image for the incoming call screen, neither the answering sliders.
Anyway, I found many Phone.apk online for different ROMs and different Android devices. Is it OK if I used any for my Galaxy Y?

I think ya, coz some of my system app is from custom rom n I am using stock rom just give it a try, is it work or not. N do a backup before changing the app

I downloaded several Phone.apk(s) from the net, but every time I try to install one it asks me that "this is a system app, do you want to replace" and say yes but then it says (Application not installed)
What could be wrong? and how to fix it?

I think you should flash via cwm. Well, i am a beginner but even i changed my default one. But pls confirm with senior members. I think you have to flash it

I tried flashing the flashable APK but with no success, it displayed "installation aborted" at the end.

Yes I agree with koradiavatsal, u should flash through cwm, or try this, copy the file (Phone.apk) to /system n set permission to rw-r--r-- n then move n replace it to /system/app, then reboot. If this not succesfull the one way is flash it through cwm

Before I continue to to the replacement inside the system/app directory...
Is it ok to replace even if the Phone.apk is made for ICS or JB? I of course use GB.

Stock Browser or Smart Scroll Compatible

Hello all.
I've finally been able to resolve the instability issues iv'e had with custom kernels and roms on the galaxy s4. My current issue is that i've installed [ROM] [TeaM VeNuM] The Blu Kuban S4 (Currently BETA) with the [KERNEL][SPRINT][TOUCHWIZ][5/22/2013] KT-SGS4 - MDL - KTweaker. My only issue is that i can't seem to find the stock internet browser. I tried installing the BrowserProviderProxy.apk(37kb) but it doesn't seem to be the proper file. Anyone know where I could get the file or what browser is compatible with the smart scroll?

The file is SBrowser_SPR.apk.

You don't install it. You need to use a file manager like root Explorer or es Explorer and copy the apk to the system/app folder. Set permissions and reboot.

ya man I was going nuts trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Finally I extracted that from one of the roms around and voila! Works like a charm. I don't have an account where I could upload it, otherwise I would. Same rules apply, paste it in system/app along with sbrowser_spr.apk and permissions rw_r__r__

I tried this but it did not work. I used esExplorer and copied the apks in the /system/app dir and changed the properties of the files to rw- - r- - r- -
But regardless of the apk i attempt to install, they all fail except the BrowserProviderProxy.apk.

Resize CyanogenMod nav bar

Nandroid is the backup you make through recovery

Okay. Well i have searched around several times and i can't seem to fine anything that on resizing CMs nav bar.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

You can't change it from within CM, but you can flash different mods in recovery (like the one posted above) to change it manually.

Ill be honest if You dont know what a nandroid is you may want to take some time and do some basic research before you end up bricking your phone. Messing with the OS of a device is NOT fool proof. Things can go wrong and then you are stuck with a non working device that you cant return.

Ok just learned what nandroid is and so i guess the next step is to nandroid backup my phone and then flash the mod from the link right?

Yep. And if something goes wrong after flashing the mod (systemui crashing, bootloop, etc) just restore the nandroid.

You probably didnt do anything wrong, its just that the mod didnt work lol.
Try out this tutorial. It should work, but its a bit of work.
These are the lines that you have to change:
Code:
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">[COLOR="Red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">[COLOR="red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">[COLOR="red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>

That's odd. It was just working fine...and now it says account suspended .
Anyways this is basically what you have to do(may require some other searching):
-navigate to system/framework and copy the framework-res.apk to your computer
-decompile framework-res.apk
-in the decompiled folder navigate to /res/values/ and open the file named dimens.xml in a text editor
-edit the lines that I posted above to your liking
-recompile framework-res.apk and push it back to the phone. Also make sure the permissions are set to rw-r-r

you should try a rom with more control built in like aokp, slim, or pa if you want to change stuff more and dont quite know how to mod system files correctly

-Make a nandroid backup just in case
-Download an root file manager. I would recommend root explorer (paid), but there are other free ones like es file explorer.
-Copy the framework-res.apk from your computer to your phone. (just use the usb cable and transfer it over using MTP)
-Open the root file manager and copy the framework-res.apk from where you put it
-Navigate to system/framework and rename the existing framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak
-Paste the new framework-res.apk
-Long press the new framework-res.apk and go to permissions and change them to rw-r-r
-reboot

yep I do that but as soon as I get done renaming framework.apk.bak the phone restarts and goes into boot loop.
I reflash CM10.1 and nandroid backup and everything is fine again. then I tryed just replacing framework but same thing happens.
ohh and mbucks911 the reason why I dont use AOKP is becasue my battery life with AOKP is terrible it causes my phone to run at around 38c which is warm enough to make my hands sweat and my battery drains 10% for every 10mins my screen is on. when I use CM my phone barely gets over 30c and operates around 27c for every and 10% of my battery thats almost 2 hours of sot thats why i am trying to stick with CM.

Try using adb to push it.

Try iFont from Play, that may work.

Don't use ROM toolbox or any other font changing app. They will give u boot loops.
First make a nandroid backup.
Download your font and make sure its the same style as the one you want to replace (normal, bold, italic). It also must be ttf, not otf.
Then using a root file manager go to system/fonts and delete the font that you want to replace. Then paste the downloaded font into the directory and change its name to the font that it will be replacing (ex: Roboto-Regular.ttf)
Change its permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

First things first, YOU'RE DOING A FABULOUS JOB. Keep up the good work :good:
Now coming to my doubt, Can we use the same above mentioned method to change the font style in the STOCK ROM & KERNEL?
If no then please guide how can I change the font style? I prefer not to use third party applications.

Just go here, and download the font packs of your choice. Then boot into a custom recovery and flash. This works fine on stock rom & kernel, but you need root and a custom recovery.

Ok it did work, but I lost the S5 style Setting menu I was using other mod to have that. Is there anyway to have S5 style flat icon grid and list view option with this effect add on ? And no sound associated to this unlock effect ?
Also is it normal that after unlocking for a second it show my my Homescreen empty wallpaper ?
