[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] .:android monsters:.:
~WARNING~

This is working on Sprint S5 MOAR ROM.

Use these methods at YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!

I get sick of looking at the default android contact images and thought I would change them ALL. The image I decided to use is Bob Dobbs of The Church of the SubGenius. Yes Slack is good, and we need to be reminded of that when we communicate with the other degenerates in our lives. A little more Slack ain't not be hurts no-ones mayne.........

I have made changes to almost all contact related images in the following: InCallUI.apk, SecContacts.apk, SecTeleService.apk, and SecMms_Blue.apk. Its been a couple of days now and I am getting no errors + loving the way the Contacts and Messaging look.

Click tab above for Screenshots.

~~~~~~~~~DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~

If you get warts, if your newborn pops out with a foot on its forehead, if your teenage daughter runs off with the meth-head biker from down the street, you find your wife having Gang-Sex with cut-throat multi-nationals, or if your phone takes a GIANT **** on you: You are just plain fuct. I will brook no (read: ZERO) responsibillity.

Let The Slack Flow...

That being said, If you love Slack you can use the attached Apks to update the way your contacts display.

First off you will need a root browser like RootExplorer, or whatever you deem worthy.

Next transfer the updated Apks to your SD Card.

Open RootExplorer and navigate to wherever you put the Apks. Select copy-move InCallUI.apk then back out to the root of your phone's file system.

Make sure you are mounted RW (in RootExplorer the tab is located up top). Open "system\app" and then select "Move-Copy here" When asked if you want to replace-overwrite existing app select yes. After the file has transferred you need to scroll down and long-press on it to change permissions to RW-R-R.

Now copy or move the remaining three Apks into "system\priv-app" and change the permissions on those to RW-R-R as well.

Now back out to the root of your file system again and select Refresh from in RootExplorer settings. Reboot and WipeCache\Dalvik. Enjoy much Slack.

ALTERNATE IMAGE METHOD~~~

For those of you not into Slack-ing off whom wish to use their favorite picture of Early Cuyler or Tipper Gore and Janet Reno doing the chilli-dog or whatever, you can use the images in the two folders in the Update Contacts.zip from the download link below as templates. You will need to use whatever image editor you like (GIMP, Paint.net, etc...) to make changes to ALL the image files in both of the folders I have included, and then re-save them to the same folder for easy access.

!!!DO NOT GO CHANGING ANY NAMES OF ANYTHING!!!

Before you make changes in the Apks. Open the folder you saved your edited images in and make note of the names of the files you will be changing imagery in for each Apk.

Open each Apk with whatever archive tool you have (I used winrar). Navigate to each folder you need to update images in and select "add files to archive." Navigate to the folder containing your updated images and hit "ok."

Hokay.

Now place your edited Apks on your phone and overwrite the old Apks, Change permissions & Refresh.

Reboot recovery and wipe your cache-dalvik.

Enjoy...........
