[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.

I installed all apk found under system/framework with apktool.
*framework-res.apk & another apk
Then decompiled Settings.apk of Xperia pro stock ics Rom.

Then I flashed the apk using cwm to my phone to test if it work .after flashing, the setting icon is invisible in launcher menu !
Plz anybody tech me how decompile and re compile stock settings.apk of Xperia pro properly..

What tool do u use? For settings u edit setting_header.xml where is that present and all u must be knowing?!
After clicking on compiling apk manager asks to delete resources.arc and also the xml you edited. Then compile it should.

I did download the zip file from first post. Extracted SecSettings.apk and Keyguard.apk from the zip. Replaced it with the original ones in /system/priv-app and set permissions to rw-r-r. Did a reboot and choose the particle unlock-effect in settings.

You need only the secsettings.apk and thats it . You can download it from here and push the file using root explorer. in priv-app and set the permission then reboot . Then go in phone>Lockscreen > Effect.

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 ?

Right, but I need the correct files to be authentic. The loop file will just display the color burst over and over and the shutdown qmg will be the boot but in reverse.

What do you mean? The boot animation does not need the launcher. The launcher is completely separate.

i tried the shut down boot it works fine but in boot animations after smasung logo there is yellow screen and two samsung logos (tab 3 10.1)
can you help me ?

k,
you have to use a little deductive reasoning here and in the future.
meant in the best way.
okay, so you boot animation is either incorrectly sized for you screen
or it was put together incorrectly. all you can do is choose a different image.
however if shutdown animation displays correctly maybe you could
duplicate it and rename copy to replace boot animation.

I used the S5 boot animation until the Tab 4 boot animation was posted here. The S5 launcher has to be ported and will only work on Android 4.4. The S5 launcher should be the same as the Tab4 launcher. So if you are lucky to have android 4.4 then you can use the launcher posted here, as one has not been ported yet ( as far as I know)
