Problem with framework-res...

So, i need some help from you.
Everytime I put some statusbaar icons into the framework-res.apk and resign it, it stucks in a boot loop.
In ddms it says me that the package android (i think its a file in the framework-res, or the framework-res) isn't signed correctly.
I attached the statusbaricons and the WORKING framework-res.
Could someone please integrate the files in the res/drawables folder and sign it correctly for me?
Thank you..
You would get a credit in my rom ;-) (Yes, i know, it's not very well known :-D , my roms name is MaxismaR, just search for it here..)
P.S: I'm on Windows 7, maybe that affects the signing process..

What are you using to sign? Keytools/Jarsigner?

I'm using the autosign.exe.

Ahh, Try my attachment.

Ok, tried and it gives me this :
06-18 21:52:40.797: ERROR/PackageManager(77): Package android signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!

have you tried deleting the META-INF folder before you sign?

I've come across that error before, it's just telling you the current installation of framework-res doesn't match the signatures with the one you're trying to reinstall. I believe this framework jar file is located only in /system/framework so you would first have to remove any reference to the file (basically uninstall it). I know you can't uninstall a jar but basically you need to remove references to the file and signature of the file before you can replace it. It's possible you only need to remove /system/framework/framework-res.jar and /data/dalvik-cache/*framework-res*
I can't guarantee that if you remove this file that android will still boot up without errors. Be prepared to have to wipe and reload

why not take a full ROM update and put your images into that and then sign it. also make sure your images aren't too big. if you are using linux you can use pngcrush otherwise i'm no help

But there's no framework-res.jar in there.
But will try wiping after installing the new framework-res ;-)

If u r including icons like battery, check the number of icons in the framework of hero & that of ur rom, if it dosent mach, try removing or incliding some more or ger the source cod & insert those hero stuff inor source code & rebuild rom then get both framework res apk & the jar file....
thats the way i had implemented the percentage battery statusbar icons into 1.5

I know your always supposed to resign the apk's but the only workaround I have found for the exact same problem is to put.zip at the end of framework-res.apk.Right click on it explore to what directory im inserting my images in and paste em while leaving it zipped,when done take .zip back off dont sign it and it works then in the update.

THX to crotalusfreak! That fixed it! You'll get a credit in my next upload ;-)

[Q] Can you edit/replace the classes.dex on the phone?

I am trying to edit an application however whenever i use apktool (apk manager) or smali/baksmali (jarsigner etc), sign then reinstall the app crashes..
So i am wondering if i can install the untouched package and then edit/replace the classes.dex while it is already installed?
Is that possible? Where exactly do installed apps reside? or do they remain in apk format until run on the phone?
I did search though i couldnt find an answer
Thanking you in advance.

[Q] Some question about making a custom rom

Hi
I hope someone can help me.
I am trying to make my own custom rom. I used this way.
- flashed xxJPM
- de odexed all apps and framework
- added stock android lockscreen
- removed some useless system apps
- then changed theme
all this works great. but I had problems with adding some other apps to /system/apps
1. I copied the *.apk file to /system/app
2. I extract the lib files into /system/lib
But apps like quickpic or the gingerbread keyboard are not working. When I just install them android create a data folder. What do I have to do with those database files in this folder? Can someone show me the right way for installing own system apps?
Then I do a factory data reset in the settings. After this nothing was working. I had no lockscreen. Even all options by pressing the shutdown button except "shutdown" disappeared. Does anyone know why this happened?
I am new to this. So it would be great if you can help me.

QuickPic/Gingerbread: Nope. Open the .apk and copy the lib files to /system/lib
About the rest. i have no idea since I don't know your internal files.
THIS IS DEVELOPMENT. DO NOT CLOSE.
It helps people with force close problems.

After making your own dump your not suppose to factory reset, only after flashing your own dump your ready to factory reset, but if you factory reset while making a dump/removing and adding files, you will soft brick and loose your work..
Did you change the framework and tw framework?
Adding back some framework files via adb might help..
Or you will have to start over again..

I forgot to add that you should check your permissions on the lib file

After copying lib files give this command over adb..
chmod 777 /system/lib/filename.so

yeah I think you are right. Thank you all for your help. I'll try it again. And I hope that it will work.

HI ok. I've tryed it again.
But know when I want to flash my new factoryfs.rfs the Download crashed.
I don't know where the problem could be.​

Do I have to use this command?
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs

Can someone explain this command to me?

still third time flashing chrashes.
when Odin is flashing the factoryfs.rfs it stops at a specific level. odin get 99% of CPU and I have to interupped it. What is my fault? DId anyone have same problems? I try it to make like all the tutorials says.
Edit: Odin says before flashing "Big Partition size!" What do I have to do to make it smaller?
Edit: I get this:
# dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
435200+0 records in
435200+0 records out
222822400 bytes transferred in 115.950 secs (1921711 bytes/sec)

Found the problem why odin crashes. I copied the factoryfs.rfs file with 7zip into the .tar package but I had to use TotalCommander.
But still I have no lockscreen after flashing and the options in the power menu are not visible.

[Solved] Uninstall theme by deleting / editing files

Hi,
I m using DU Rom 8.1 with a great pleasure.
unfortunately, I install a theme which seems not being compatible.
I have constant systemui crashes, on lock screen and can't do anything.
So, I thought to remove or unapply this theme "manually".
I can t do with adb cause the phone is not recongnized form my PC cause these crashes.
So I thought to do it by the recovery with aroma file manager.
I already deleted the data/app/xxx.apk and the data/data/com.xxxx folder, but it doesnt seem to be enough.
is there something more to do ? => edit a config file and /or delete another file / folder.
Thanks per advance for your help.
Edit , it s OK, I mnaged to do it.
In fact it was sufficient to delete apk and com.xxx folder.
My problem was that I used a style from one theme and the police from another one... so I it was necessary to remove all the applied themes.

Problen in app compiled

Hi friends,
I'm having a problem on recompiling my Settings.apk.
I unpack the application to include the pt-rBR translation. I succeeded in including the translation.
When installing Settings.apk everything worked perfectly. However, when I perform a factory reset, settings.apk don't work, Simply apk disappears/deleted. The same happens if I create a system installation ZIP file via TWRP.
Error occurs because of this settings.apk file not being installed on the first boot. I have tried to translate all other apks of systems: framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk and all work normally, however with Settings.apk this error occurs.
Does anyone know tell me what I'm missing to do so it can be included in a Custom ROM to create a TWRP install?

What tool(s) are you using? Are you resigning or using the original signature?
