Quick question here. When applying any changes to icons in the process of creating a theme, are there any apks (system apps in particular here) which should NOT be zipaligned before pushing back to the phone?

As the title would need to know or any employee who wants to do it for me.
I asked this because I have UBKPD (ARO 2.3.6) and all the themes and lockscreen not work for this version of GB.
I compared the files:
android.policy.jar
framework.jar
with those of the themes / lockscreen to XXKPQ (2.3.6 as well) but differ in the weight / size relative to those of UBKPD.
Errors in flash a lockscreen theme with and without boot loop are, and if I replace the 2 jar files I get errors in the notification bar and others who are in the apk systemui.
Thank you very much.
What I'm trying to do:
Extract the statusbar icons from the "Fluffy Blue Sensation" rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598903
and use those icons to replace my current ones, my phone is running the ViperS 1.0.1 ROM.
I tried extracting the framework-res.apk from the Fluffy_Blue_Sensation ROM, & used that to overwrite the framework-res.apk on my phone. Which left me with a non-bootable phone, thankfully I backup often, & just restored my recent ViperS image.
My question is how can I extract the statusbar icons from Sense4.0 ROMs such as Fluffy_Blue_Sensation or Elegancia, and then import those icons into my phone to replace the ones currently being used?
After a little poking around, I found this tread.
So far, so good. I've replaced the WiFi and signal bar icons from Elegancia Sense 4.0 v2.0 with the stock HTC ones. I'm currently in the middle of doing the battery icons. Talk about tedious.
Since you back up often, you could always try UOT Kitchen. Chances are it'll fail because of how modified the framework is on these Tweaks ROMs, but hey it's worth a try.
Hi,
first of all sorry if my questions are too noobish and if my english is not very clear
I have read various threads on modding, theming and compiling/decompiling
I have a tablet running Android 4.0.4. It is rooted.
I am trying to customize the system (combined, if you prefer) bar, initially removing the Clock. More icons will follow.
I followed the steps:
a. pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
b. install framework
c. decompile
d. edit
e. recompile
f. open original and edited apk's and copy the changed files to the original
g. signed and aligned
h. pushed SystemUI.apk back to /system/app
Initially I removed the Clock reference from status_bar.xml. Once I reinstalled and rebooted the notification bar remained the same. I pulled SystemUI.apk again to verify it was the one I installed and indeed it was.
Afterwards, I 'greped' Clock for all references of Clock and commented them all out. Same thing, no changes
So, my question is what am I doing wrong?
Even better, are there any links docs that describe the architecture/process of generating the UI?
I've found guides saying to edit .smali files or this.xml & that.xml but I am really in the dark, how all this comes together.
Also, what's the role of framework-res.apk?
Sorry for the length, looking forward for your feedback
This stuff comes from SGS3 and some CSC messing, but here it is:

And here is what i acheived:

All work is done by decompiling apk, removing all the xml and pictures, placing those back, recompiling.
After regeration of public.xml - you can generate CSCAppResource.xml.
At least we got icon theming in touchwiz.
Look for my port here:

this is not a CWM package! unzip to /system/csc/appresource/ (if you don't have folder appresource - then create it)
So I'm pretty new to root so any help would be appreciated. I am running carbon rom on my nexus 4. I've recently been playing around with themes and mods and not sure if this is where I would ask this question or not. I installed a custom theme (root* not a launcher) but I don't like the lock screen. Tried zip themer but nothing sticks. After reading more about it, from what I understand, and correct me if I am wrong, is the reason it won't work is because a theme redirect the request for that image (default lock screen image) to its image. And the mods I am using through zip themer change the default images not the themes images. So my question is, how do I modify the themes lock screen image to what I want?
