[Android Themes] Warrior1975:
Awesome guide!! Thanks so much, this is making my theming almost possible!! Ok, I encountered a small problem, my laptop died, so I am doing this on my Macbook Pro. I am only learning but I want to change my Go Sms Pro widget. Someone told me where to look, /data/app. I pulled the APK, decompiled it, and now I am modifying it. My big problem is this damn computer does not communicate with my G-Note 2. I uploaded the apk to dropbox, but I have no idea how I am going to push the apk back into my phone. Can I boot into recovery and do it? I really have no clue, can anyone help me with this?

Trying to recompile, I get this error (I tried recomipiling something without changing anything):

I think it has something to do with my directories and how I installed the Apktool program, I had some issues. Anyway, I moved things into the /usr/local/bin manually in order to get the Apktool to execute. It worked but when I decompiled it put it into a different directory than bin. It also refers to "/Users/Richie/Library/apktool/framework/1.apk", which I am not sure why...Please help!! I am going nuts with this, been doing this for many hours.
