this is a very basic guide to change colors and maybe icons if you've suitable icons

THINGS YOU'LL NEED :


  1. 7zip
  2. Any Imaging Software that can handle PNG files(I use PHOTOSHOP)
  3. FRAMEWORK-RES.APK file

STEPS :

  1. Right Click on your framework-res.apk
  2. Click 7-zip->Open Archive
  3. go to res folder
  4. Extract drawable-mdpi anywhere on your pc
  5. edit the files you want with your imaging software and save them
  6. now drag the modified files to the drawable-mdpi folder in the zip file
    Open the drawable-mdpi folder in your zip file
    select the modified files, hold and drag to the zip archive and leave it
    it will ask you to add the files or not
    just click yes
  7. Close the file

follow this TUTORIAL to push the file into your system

IMPORTANT TIPS

if you're upto modifying colors than you may notice that some files have extension .9.png they need special way to edit (actually not so special lol)

just open them in your imaging program
you'll notice few black dots and black border

something like this
