I have seen a lot of questions and issues with successfully building LeeDroid Rom using SVN. Here is a short guide for building and syncing using Tortoise SVN and zipping up a flashable zip with WinRAR on Win 10. This should work equally well on any other Win version. Mac users are on their own. This guide will aim to get you started, it is by no means comprehensive. Follow the guide carefully. It will take a few hours to complete it the first time through, mostly because of the time it takes for an initial sync, but the following syncs and builds should only take about five minutes from sync to flashable zip.
1. Download the latest TortoiseSVN and install it - I encourage you to read the website when you have the opportunity, especially reading the PDF for your language in the Support/Docs section.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Create a folder for syncing to. I create a folder in the root of my C: drive and just name it "LeeBuilds". Feel free to name it how you please. Inside the LeeBuilds folder, create two folders. One for syncing to and one for output. So I made two folders, "Sync" and "Output".
3. Go to the LeeDroid website and select your device. In this case the U11, so click on U11.
4. After clicking on U11, a pop-up window will appear with an SVN address. Highlight the URL and right-click to copy it. DO NOT include the "[email protected]:~$" portion, only the part beginning with "svn..." and ending with "...trunk". *Remember to check the URL closely after copying to TortoiseSVN to be sure you sync the correct device*
5. Go back to the sync folder you created and right click on it and hit "SVN Checkout".
Since you copied the SVN URL from the LeeDroid site, the URL to sync with will be automatically populated. *BE SURE to closely double check the URL and make sure it points to the U11. You don't want to sync for the wrong device!* Simply tap ok and you will begin to sync. You can always go back to the Leedroid site to copy the URL again if needed. Again, be sure to not include the "[email protected]:~$" portion. Depending on internet speed, an initial sync can take 15 minutes to a couple hours to complete.
----a standard SVN sync in progress window looks like this
6. After syncing is complete, you will see the LeeDroid rom version number you are synced to.
7. You can now close the SVN sync window and right-click on the Sync folder again. Move the cursor over "Tortoise SVN" and click on "Export".
-----There are hidden files and folders in your sync folder. You MUST use the "Export" function to include only files and folders needed for making a flashable zip.
8. Select your Output folder to export to and tap "Select Folder". Your export will begin.
9. After the export finishes, you're done with the syncing part! Download and install the latest WinRAR.
10. Go to your output folder and select all the files including the boot.img in the folder, right-click on your selection, move the cursor to WinRar and select "add to archive".
11. In the pop-up, be sure to hit the "zip" radio button and rename your zip to whatever you like and then hit "ok".
You're finished! Transfer the zip to your phone and flash in recovery like normal. For following updates, right-click the sync folder and an "SVN update" option will appear in the context menu. Click the update button, delete the files that were in your output folder, export to the output folder and then zip and flash. You can always refer to the steps above if you encounter an error somewhere or need to start over. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the guidance! It's very detailed and easy to use!

I have seen that before. Sometimes, maybe one in twenty, the connection with the server will time out for whatever reason. What I'd do is just delete your sync folder to make sure it's clean, make a new one and try another sync. You should get a good sync. It CAN depend on your internet connection too.

IT looks like the URLin the pic may be incorrect. It should be:

Uhoh, I was afraid of that. Yeap, you need to CLOSELY check the SVN URL as I say in the guide. I saw the same thing yesterday when I went to copy/paste the URL. It seems for whatever reason it wants to default to the 10. I actually let Lee know about it. I added to check the URL in the guide after I discovered that. Easy fix though, you can just change the "10" in the URL to "11" and you'll be just fine. :good:

Well, it looks correct until after "trunk". There's extra characters. It's fine until then.
Great guide. I'm leaning towards user error on the copy somehow.

The only thing I see in the pic after "trunk" is a "I". That's just the cursor animation from the website. Do you see more characters after "trunk"?

Lol, now I'm confused. Worked good with or without the %7c?
Ok, to clinch it all I heard from THE MAN. Either copy/paste and make sure it looks like it does in the pic, or just type it out in the URL field. Any strange characters you might see are PHP used for the cursor animation. Soooo, lol just follow the guide and check the URL when you come to that part. Simple solution.

No worries, I'm probably not explaining properly.
I copied "http://www.renovate-ice.com/svn/leedroid-11/trunk"
And it worked great for me.
Looking at the error line in his pic it's :
http://www.renovate-ice.com/svn/leedroid-11/trunk/|.
It appears to be looking for /%7c in the url and not being correct it throws the error.
Like I mentioned it sounds like the url copy got messed up some how for him.

Ahhh, gotcha. Yeap, should end with the "trunk". Maybe I should add that in the guide. Thanks for the catch.
Edit: fixed on #4 in the guide. :good:
for what do I need the output folder for? if I export, then exactly the same files are included as in the sync folder.
and the data folder is not available for me.

There's hidden files and folders in the Sync folder. If you zip up from there you'll likely not have a bootable rom...or it'll be borked. So, that's the propose for the second folder. Not sure what you mean about the data folder though.

I have activated hidden files & folders in explorer. You are right, here is the comparison. But I have always packed the files from my one sync folder. If I do not pack the hidden folder .svn, it is exactly the same data. The ROMs have always worked. But I am doing it now according to your instructions. And I meant the folder from your screenshot that you named data, seen in step 11. I do not have it.

Lol, honestly don't know where it came from. I just checked my SVN folders for the 10 and the 11, I don't have it either. Some little buggers to fix up in the pics.
FYI, I figured out that if you copy/paste the URL's from Lee's site to SVN, the URL's are backwards, meaning that if you copy the 11 link, it'll paste the 10 URL into Tortoise and vice-versa. Soooo, statement still stands. Double-check your pasted URL when you do your init sync. If the URL says "10" simply chance it to "11" or whatever you desire and all's good. :good:

Ok guys here's my first contribution to the community I guess.
First of all thanks to;
frostman89 - for the iphone pngs
teslacoil - for the widgetlocker for sure!
others - those that contributed that i forgot.
I take no credit at all, i created this thread because many people have PM'ed me for the pngs and tutorial.
Ok lets start shall we? You will need;
- Widgetlocker(Buy it first cuz its not free)
- Root Explorer(Buy it too and this is optional if you dont know adb)
- the PNG files, download here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8731533&postcount=31 >> Thanks frostman89! OR from my dropbox;

Got 2 steps on how to do this;
1) ADB
2) Root Explorer
3) My own steps(this is what i did to get it working!!)
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
5) Paypal buyer~~
6) Easier method - simple script
7) What if FC after applied the mod?
BEFORE THAT, NANDROID first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) ADB(google would help a lot)
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. You will need Android SDK installed (google for it will ya?).
b. "adb pull" your widgetlocker(anyone who did this can tell me please?)
c. Open your "pulled" apk using winrar.
d. Browse to /res/drawable-hdpi
e. Drop those 2 images you downloaded in there(make sure it is the exact name as the original so it will overwrite it.
f. Now for adb push part(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
g. Tada! Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Root Explorer
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
d. Put it back into system/app(you need to be in R/W mode)
e. After that, long click the app, select permissions, and do checkmarks like this: (the * represents a checkmark) - this is courtesy of frostman89
* . * . -
* . - . -
* . - . -
f. Reboot and voila!
==========================================================
3. My own steps!
Actually my steps is mixed between those 2 because, I can't pull using adb so i had to pull using Root Explorer. Then I cant push it using Root Explorer so i had to adb push them.
So there you go, if you have problems like me, just did what i did.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
f. adb push(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
I'll tell you guys too why i cant use adb pull and push using root explorer;
adb pull - easy, i dont know how to adb at that time...haha~~
paste using root explorer - i pasted it but nothing appeared? i was like wtf and that leads me to learn how to adb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
I'm not sure how but here is what faceqt told me;
Or, if you have S-OFF you can use Ninjamorph to replace the 2 .png's and reboot your phone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Paypal buyer~~
Quoted from jayhan73;
For people who have purchaed WidgetLocker off paypal, the steps to do this only involves replacing the png files (i.e. opening the apk file sent to your email and adding the png files into the required directory). After that, reinstall the widgetlocker. You may also choose to push the apk via adb. Either way, it works.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But i believe once you mod it you can't install it normally, so its either adb or root explorer.
6)Easier method - Smple script as posted by brady;
brady1uk said:
There is a much easier way to get this on your phone using the files from the OP without faffing around on adb, rom manager etc...
download APK manager from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
put the apk file in the "place-apk-here-for-modding"
run the script.bat and extract it, (basically unzips it) drop the new PNG files in /res/drawable-hdpi (replace already existing) then run zip.apk from script and (select option 2 Regular apk) then use option 4 sign apk.
look in the pace-apk-here-for-modding folder will be a new file called 'something'-signed.apk. (this is the new edited Widgetlocker
This file you can put on your SD card and Install and Uninstall like a normal apk using ASTRO etc. no need for ADB and root explorer.
Takes literally 5 minutes to do with NO RISK to your phone

7) What if FC after applying the mod?
Is WidgetLocker Force Closing after you've applied the mod?
Quoted from zHK3r
Then try these steps:
Requirements:
Android SDK
HTC Sync Drivers
WidgetLocker
Two PNGs
7zip/WinRAR
1) ADB pull /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Rename the .apk to .zip and open the folder - Drop the two PNGs in drawable-hdpi
3) Rename the .zip back to .apk
On your phone: Uninstall WidgetLocker and then re-install.
Start WidgetLocker, but once you've started it. Press home.
Don't apply any settings or continue the tutorial
4) ADB push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
On your phone: Start WidgetLocker > Menu > Settings > Look and Feel > Slider & Layout > iPhone
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb pull data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Btw if you have any problems pushing an apk, try this;
Quoted from Zaphyr;
Ok, so I figured out the problem.
/system wasn't mounted. Even in recovery when I tried to push it over, I needed to go in the Clockwork settings and choose mount system before I could push it.
But now it works perfectly! YAY!!

*I'm pretty sure it'll work the same for other lockscreen you wanted as long as you have the needed files.
Feel free to comment and give feedbacks, and correct me if i got wrong in some part. Enjoy!
Or, if you have S-OFF you can use Ninjamorph to replace the 2 .png's and reboot your phone.

replace with which .pngs?

Just drop it inside the res>drawable hdpi - it'll replace by itself, that being said, it will replace the existing file(meaning slider_iphone and slider_iphone_background). You can back up the original files if you want.

Download widget locker, back it up using astro, take the apk from sd/backups/apps and put it on your pc desktop, change the extention from .apk to .zip (just right click then go to rename and make the changes) with winzip, go to the drawable_hdpi folder then copy the above instructions for which files to delete, download the png from the first post, put it in drawable_hdpi.
After that, rename it back to .apk, put it on your sd card and install via astro. Make sure to delete the version you have installsd on your phone first just to be safe.
Hope that works anyway, its just killed my thumbs

I had to do it this way, because I could not find the apk in data/app
But after I modded it I could not install it normally
I tried pushing it to data/app and rebooted....but then what? I still haven't got widgetlocker installed?
If you have a slough of apk files with weird names like I do, this DOS tool is for you. It uses AAPT (included) to check an APK file's name and version, and renames your APK in a more human-readable format.
Example:
pp170.apk --> PhotoShake Pro_1.7.0.apk
Installation
Just unzip the file (RenameAPK.zip) to anywhere you like. All the required files are included.
Instructions: GUI
I made RenameApkGUI in an attempt to create a nice tool that can be pinned to the start bar. (Right click on it, choose Pin To Taskbar.) Just like regular RenameAPK, you can drag multiple files to it. You can also open it and drag multiple files into it (this makes for an easier listing of the files you want to convert).
There are a couple caveats to it, however:
When pinned to the Taskbar, you can only drag one file at a time onto its icon.
When pinned to the Taskbar, and you wish to drag a file onto its icon, you must hold the Shift key.
Really, you might as well just open RenameAPK from the Start bar instead of trying to drag/drop to it.
Instructions: Command-line Tool
You can run this tool through the command line, or by dragging one (or multiple!) .apk files to it.
To rename multiple files (just in case )
Select the FIRST file you want renamed (e.g. clicking on it)
Hold down the shift key
Use the mouse or arrow keys to define the END of your selection
Drag one of the selected files to renameapk-min.
To rename multiple files (just in case )
Select the FIRST file you want renamed (e.g. clicking on it)
Hold down the shift key
Use the mouse or arrow keys to define the END of your selection
Drag one of the selected files to renameapk-min.
Instructions: Developers
If you want to borrow/change the code, feel free to do so. But also please remember to
Give credit to this me/this project (it's free, you don't even need to give me cookies)
Let me know what you did (it's cool to know)
Updates
RenameAPK v2: Added a GUI wrapper. Keep it in the same folder as the batch files and utilities, and everything should be all right.
Moved the excessive sourcecode files to a source folder.
Just wondering, does this change the name of the app itself, or is this the same as right clicking and renaming on the computer?

This is excellent for renaming and keeping track of the Amazon AppStore APKs!
I ran this without a problem in Android\data\com.amazon.venezia\cache on my SD card.
Thanks much!
This is the MOST useful app ever! Thanks!
Very great looking tool. Can't wait to install this to see what is what!
This is awesome. Thanks for this!
This is a great tool!!! Thank you very much for sharing!
Great job!
I agree with all the above!
This is the most useful tool I've ever used!
Great job!!

Thanks a lot!
Thank you! I have a pet peeve for ill-named apks. I spend a good amount of time copy/pasting or manually renaming. I just batch renamed 100 apks in about 30 seconds. This is wonderful! The only thing that could be just as good is a mobile version.

If you have a slough of apk files with weird names like I do, this DOS tool is for you. It uses AAPT (included) to check an APK file's name and version, and renames your APK in a more human-readable format.
Example:
pp170.apk --> PhotoShake Pro_1.7.0.apk
You can run this tool through the command line, or by dragging one (or multiple!) .apk files to it.
Includes
the RenameAPK tool
A minified version (without documentation; probably runs faster)
ADB, AAPT, and other required dependencies... keep them in the same folder for now.

Good Job with this primetechv2, this works very nicely I needed something like this xD
I would like to know though, I modified your script all the slightest So that your outputted apk name would not have any spaces...
For Example, instead of "Root Explorer_1.7.apk" I have it say "Root_Explorer_1.7.apk"...
I don't know, I think it makes it look nicer xD
Would you like me to upload this change, and you can put it on the OP? Since I think some people would appreciate this

Good question... if you know anybody with experience with Macs, Linux, and their command line, I would be happy to help port it over. Heck, it should be pretty easy to do. Unfortunately I don't actually know how to do that.

best tool
best app ever!! i have been looking for such an app for ages and using it was quite easy and fast as well!! could be improved by making a more graphically designed one having more features like:
searching the sd for apks
creating a list of them
ability to sellect all/some etc
move them all into one folder
you know stuff like this to make our life easier
im just suggesting..credits to the dev of this!! thanks a lot man!

I could do a few of those things, but they'd be a little inconvenient... ex. I could run a search for .apk files, but it would either have to be (a) in the current folder/subfolders, or (b) you'd have to type in the directory.
Not an easy task, unless I created an extra "scan_for_apks" batch file you could drop a folder into Theoretically, at least, it could either start the task or generate a NEW batch file to run.... which you could remove the ones you don't want renamed, etc Pretty complicated stuff though.

My kudos on the last guy who did this too, I would mention it in the topic description except it seems a little redundant. I just got lucky with the press here, it seems.
Hurry, whilst stocks last!

Make sure you edit the lines of the build.prop exactly as they are shown in the above thread (or see post 6 below).

EDIT: I have decided to treat this as an IQ test. If it doesn't work for you, it means that you are incapable of reading, writing and thinking for yourself. You should reflect long and hard on your inability to perform basic tasks and should probably not post things such as 'it doesn't work!'. That is basically the same as admitting that you are dumb and admitting it in a public forum.

This unfortunately does not work for me as I cannot get my phone model to show as VS910 4G.
Every time I edit my build.prop file (as stated in original post) it does not save any changes. Any ideas or clues as to what I could be doing wrong.

This does work. My screenshot proves it. I was waiting to see how long it took someone to screw up something this basic.
Did you actually read and follow the instructions?
OK, do this (by the way this is what is said in the thread I linked to)...
1. Make sure you are rooted
2. Open system/build.prop in a text editor
3. Change the lines in your build.prop that read
Code:
ro.product.model=GT-N7000
ro.product.brand=samsung
to read
Code:
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
4. Reboot (which I am guessing you didn't do)
5. Download the 'Box' app from the market and sign up for an account
6. Edit the build.prop back to its original state
7. Reboot again

Of course!!
Because you can't do it, there is obviously a problem!!
If you are rooted and can't edit the build.prop on your device, copy it on to your SD card and copy it to a computer and edit it using Notepad or Notepad++. Then copy it back to your SD card and then paste it back in to your system partion. Then reboot.
Next time try using some common sense and don't blame others for your own deficiencies.
Works fine, all done with ES explorer.
Make sure /system is mounted as writeable.
You get swype complaining about a licence issue but this goes away when you set the model and manufacturer back.

thanks for the trick. i was using my sister SG2 and i notice there's more free games in samsung apps than the one in SGN. can i use the same method to download games by tricking samsung apps 2? the SD data should be the same...would be great if you can tell me what is the exact code for SG2.

Before you try this, have a think for a second... What do you think the reason is for this difference in the number of apps/games? The SGSII has a smaller screen with different dpi settings. The apps that don't show for the Note will probably either not run, or are not compatible with it.
Anyway, if you want to try, change any reference to N7000 to whatever shows for your sister's SGSII (there are a few of these) and change the lines
Code:
ro.build.description=GT-N7000-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD XXKJ4 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-N7000/GT-N7000:2.3.5/GINGERBREAD/XXKJ4:user/release-keys
to whatever shows in your sister's build.prop.
Make sure you backup your build.prop to your SD card (you can just copy it back when you have finished rather than editing it again). Just in case, also have a Nandroid backup to hand if you need it.

OOps that's rude. Please dont assume others are stupid.
I am rooted and can edit the build.prop, after editing and saving if i reopen it shows the new value.
But once phone is rebooted it changes back to original value, that is what i meant.
BTW, just check your old updates, in first you asked to change the .Brand and then in the same thread asked to change back the .manufacture value. I am not blaming, it might be typo or something.
End result, still there are some more values needs to be changed.

I made no mistake. You have to change the lines from the first ones to the second ones. There are differences between the two manufacturers' build.props.
I am not blaming, I am just pointing out that people need to learn to read, think and comprehend.

Woking great!
Working great, and all i had to do was to change only 2 lines in buid.prop using ES File explorer with 2 options activated: Root Explorer and Mount File System.
1. Be sure that you have root
2. Install ES File explorer and Options and check this: Root Explorer and Mount File System
3. Navigate to /system. Long press on buid.prop , open as text.
4. Edit the file by modifying this lines:
ro.product.model=GT-N7000
ro.product.brand=samsung
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
into
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. reboot
6. install from market box (box.net)
7. Create the account. A confirmation message will appear that you have 50 GB capacity.
8. Again from EFS File Explorer navigate to /system. Check that you have a file named build.prop.bak and if so, delete buid.prop. Rename build.prop.bak into build.prop. Now you can disable from options : "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
9. Reboot
10. Enjoy your amizing phone

This should work on other Samsung devices with QMG bootanimations (like s4)!
I've been searching for solutions and haven't found them.
Bootanimation.zip files just don't work, not in data/local or system/media. BUT I've found the solution.
This guide shows you how to make your own bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg or shutdown.qmg!
Preparations=
- Download and install Samsung theme designer http://developer.samsung.com/themes/tools-sdks/Samsung-Theme-Designer-2-0-4
- Have "unzipper" installed (7zip, Powerarchiver, Winzip, Winrar, Peazip...)
- You'll have to have full animation frame by frame in 720x1280 resolution (in other resolutions it will look bad) named like this: first "Image_000.png", second "Image_001.png", third "Image_003.png" and like that till the last frame
When you have done all the above, LET'S BEGIN
1st. Open Samsung theme designer (the one that you previously installed). Under "Create new theme", select "Feature(NonTouch) Phone". Then under "Select Model" select one of them (I've tested only "QinQin", others should work). Under "Select Showcase" select "default". Name this project to whatever you want an press "OK".
2nd. You're sure you did it correctly? Good. Next there's "Idle Component" on the left. Select it and under it should be "Idle Background". Select it. There should now be "Background Type" on the right. Change it from "fixed" to "animated". Now there should be "Frame" under it. Change the number next to it to the number of the frames you have in your animation (the number of the "Image_something.png" pictures). "Duration" is the delay in seconds between the frames. Depending on animation, probably best would be to either to choose 0 seconds or 1. Your choice, if the final animation goes too fast, take a bigger number. I used 1 for the animation I made (it's at the end of this post). If "Repeat" is true, it will make the animation loop. If you just want to play 1 cycle of your animation, choose false.
3rd. Wow, you're already here! Now comes the easy part. There should now be "Animation Object Windows" open in the bottom of the theme designer. Drag your photos 1 by 1 to the empty squares/slots ("Image_000.png" to first slot, "Image_001.png" to second and so on). DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE PREVIEW WINDOWS/ANYTHING, it will look weird but it will look great in your phone.
4th. Now the work is done. Just select "Export Theme" on the top center of the theme designer. Accept Samsung T&C and choose the location of the file so that you'll find it later! Export.
5th. Now you'll have to rename the .stm file to .zip. Open the zip and extract the "IdleBgAnimObj.qmg". Now if you want to make it into a boot animation, make a copy of it and name the copies "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg". Backup your old files in system/media with the same name if you want them back someday/if something went wrong. Move the files you made to system/media. Now reboot and it should look beautiful!
If you want to make it into a shutdown animation, name the "IdleBgAnimObj.qmg" to "shutdown.qmg" and move it to system/media/video/shutdown (BACKUP the old one).
IF THE ORIGINAL FILES IN SYSTEM/MEDIA WERE NAMED "bootanimation.qmg" AND "bootanimationloop.qmg", NAME YOUR FILES THE SAME WAY.

hello,
Ive been looking around but I cant find a .gif to .qmg (for the 4,2,2 bootanimation) does it even exist? Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Today I am proud to present my new creation EAIT - EASY APK IMAGE THEMER.
DISCONTINUED
I don't use Windows anymore, so any support for this script/app is dropped.
Download from Mediafire or from ATTACHMENT.
I see sometimes peoples get very shocked after they see my modded versions of whatsapp, so I thought lets make something which helps to *any* normal android user to edit any apk.
Keep in mind that this is not much advance tool and won't be able to do all editing.
So what exactly is EAIT, it's a simple tool which extracts APK to let you edit images and then compress it back to .apk to install on your phone.
What you need?
JRE 6/7 -download it from java.com
Any good image editor like l Photoshop, GIMP or Paint.net
steps:
1. Download .rar from above.
2. Extract in C:/
3. Take backup of app(by ES explorer) you want to edit and move it to "PLACE-APK-HERE"
4. Run main application "easy apk image themer" from folder.
5. See your current apk will be listed on top.

Here is a Mediafire mirror for you
I've always wanted to make an inverted Facebook app, so I might give this a shot. Thank you for your work
I’m not trying to rain on OP’s parade, but out of curiosity, aren’t there similar tools for Windows already? Sometimes with even better GUIs like elesbb's GUI APK Tool
This looks like APK Multi Tool, minus all of the extra features. Even the folder structure is the same.
please help

Today I am proud to present my new creation EAIT - EASY APK IMAGE THEMER.
Download from dropbox
Please provide me mediafire mirror(mine account is not working properly)
I see sometimes peoples get very shocked after they see my modded versions of whatsapp, so I thought lets make something which helps to *any* normal android user to edit any apk.
So what exactly is EAIT, it's a simple tool which extracts APK to let you edit images and then compress it back to .apk to install on your phone.
What you need?
JRE 6/7 -download it from java.com
Any good image editor like l Photoshop, GIMP or Paint.net
steps:
1. Download .rar from above.
2. Extract in C:/
3. Take backup of app(by ES explorer) you want to edit and move it to "PLACE-APK-HERE"
4. Run main application "easy apk image themer" from folder.
5. See your current apk will be listed on top.
6. Press 1 and enter to extract
7. Minimize the window and go to 'Project' folder. You'll find appname.apk folder, click on it.
8. Browse through "res" folder and see images inside drawable folders. Edit then with help of Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.NET.
Warning: rules of editing
>never edit "imagename".9.png files or you may get force close.
>If you want to replace image then choose something that has same resolution
9. After all editing maximize the window you previously minimized.
10. Press 2 and hit enter, wait for a while.
11. Press 3 and hit enter wait for a while.
12. You will find Signed-appname.apk in your "place-apk-here" folder
13. Send that app to your phone and install ( you may need to Un-install previous one)

You've edited one .9.png which is causing FC
So from what I am seeing, this allows you to easily edit images in apps. Does it however facilitate color changing? I'd like to theme facebook into the one team blackout has

Facebook is mostly coded with HEX color codes and not Images...
You should use APKtool by brut.all
There are tons of guide available for How-to-theme-with-Apktool on XDA follow them.

Sure, this is similar to some of the other apk editors out there like ApkTool/ApkMultiTool but this is NEWB friendly as the op expressed. I think this is a great program for someone just starting to learn about the android os and curious about themeing their own applications. Wish I had this tool when I first started themeing with apk multi tool. Without all the fluff and extra features, this software will be very helpful for users who are specifically interested in modifying the look of their applications. Good job Ankush
Anyone have any tips on editing Hangouts.apk? More specifically I would like to modify the emoji. Does framework-res.apk need to be included or something?
Sub'ed
OK so far so good, anyone know the name or where in the APK folder (which drawable folder) I could find the background images. I am working on the facebook messenger from my Sprint GS3.
Well I managed to edit the color of one of the pictures inside an app (ended up using the clock app) and now I cannot get it to install. I deleted the old clock and tried installing from es and also flashing from TWRP but could not find the file there (guess because it was not a .zip). Has to be in system/app folder.
