The guide is set in 3 parts:
Part I: Copying the TouchWiz apk file to your computer and decoding it.
Part II: Editing Files. Here are included different modifications. you can chose the ones you want to apply and skip the rest and go to part III.
Part III: updating your apk file and copying it to your phone.
You will need:
- Apktool to decompile/build your apk files. (download it and install it)
- ADB (download it and install it) I use Android Commander but adb commands make the guide simpler :P )
- winrar or 7zip or any archive manager
- Notepad++ or any text editor
Part I: pulling & decoding
- Create a folder in your computer to work inside it. for example C:\twmod
- Connect your phone with USB Cable.
- Copy the TouchWIz apk file from your phone to C:\twmod on your computer. you will find it under /system/app
to do this i recommend using Android Commander because it's easy to use. you can also use Root Explorer or ADB. i will include the ADB commands in this guide.
[if you're using ADB] open a command prompt and enter the following commands:adb pull /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk c:\twmod\TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
- Decode the file using apktool. In the command prompt enter the following commands:
cd c:\twmod
a folder will appear next to your apk file named TouchWiz30Launcher
apktool d TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
(leave this command prompt open)
