Hello, I want to decompile my framework-res apk so I can possibly add a battery that displays percentages. Is there any program out that will let me do this?

Your looking for Smali/BakSmali.
No offense intended here, but the fact that you are asking tells me that you are going to need a lot of research in doing this. It's not necessarily decompiled into the most readable source code. But it's that way with most decompiling, and you probably realize that.
Also, since we don't have source code for HoneyComb, the current Smali/Baksmali implementation doesn't work well/at all for some files.
Good Luck.

No offense taken. I am in the process of teaching myself these things so Google and xda are my best friends. Thanks for the reply

Thank you, I have previously viewed that thread. There aren't really any clear cut instructions on setting it up properly. Are you able to edit the XML files contained in the drawable folder? That is all I'm interested in. I can't seem to successfully decompile the framework-res apk. Thanks again

I will offer to help you out.
1. Install latest SDK from http://Developer.google.com & Eclipse.
2. Search for apktool and unzip files into the SDK folder under platform_a DB
3. Buddy fix apktool with attached files. You will need to rename these files to Apktool, etc..
4. Copy framework-res.apk, systemui.apk, settings.apk, and launcher2.apk from \system + copy the odex
5. Run apktool d framework-res.apk (do this for each apk)
6. Look in the Res/drawing folders for images to mod.
Now you have the .9.png files with marks & the decompiled XML for reference.
Use Photoshop to modify the files.
Use draw9patch to compile any .9.png files
This is really important. Use 7zip or any other zip app that allows you to open and view an apk as a zip without actually unzipping it. Just copy the new photo files in and add them to an update.zip (you can download this from XDA Xoom Development thread) or use a DB to push the updated files to the Xoom.
Theaming is a subject but that's the basics. I can't upload files for newapktools.zip right now but will edit this when I get home later. Alternativly, maybe someone can post the patched up Xoom compatible apktool files. They are also in XDA theaming thread if you search.

Yes I can you need Java JDK installed:

Eventually you will need Eclipse and I use Gimp because its free and doesn't break any .png files.

Everytime I used smali or baksmali, I always had to go to the XDA post that described the correct usage...so I made simple batch files to speed up the process and figured I should share with the community.
Extract the .zip below, run the "smali.bat" or "baksmali.bat" batch files, and follow the instructions...they should be self explanatory.
This is obviously for Windows...don't ask for other versions, I'm not a programmer. These are the latest smali and baksmali versions (v1.2.6 released 12/23/2010) as well.

Any chance this will work with framework-res.apk? I've been using apktool for it but dread having to build it twenty times before getting a usable one.

not sure what you mean?...this is just an automated script for decompiling/compiling the .dex files (usually within .jar files)
what exactly are looking to do with an .apk? sign it?
this is pretty cool ... thanks
Hey!
Thanks for this! Really helps alot!
But can you make it compatible with v1.2.7? http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list
Thanks!

hmmm...weird, i had the same issue , then i found the correct cobination of framework files for aptool, that now it builds as easy as one two three.
Did you makes sure you used the original meta-inf folder from the original apk, pm me if you ever need help.
Nice work. .:thumbs up:.
for this to work for the newer versions of smali/baksmali
just change .bat to .txt and edit the place where it says 'smali-1.2.x.jar' to the new version.
that should work.
i still dont know how the hell to do anything with a .smali file but i atleast know how to do that!
hit thanks if that helped

First off this is for people that know how to decompile/compile apk's..
What this is = Watch here
1: Decompile framework-res.apk using something like apk manager
2: Edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
3: Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
4: Compile framework-res.apk
5: Push new framework-res.apk to your phone with root explorer or adb push.
6: Profit...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to change the statusbar color:
1: Decompile SystemUI.apk
2: Edit the file \smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\Clock.smali
3: Search for the line with ->setTextColor comment it and the line above out with a # infront of the two lines.
4: Compile the SystemUI.apk
5: Decompile framework-res.apk and edit the file \res\values\styles.xml
6: Find the style name 'TextAppearance.StatusBar' and change the textColor item to the color you want
7: Compile framework-res.apk
8: Profit More.
These guides will work with about any 2.3 rom out. Thanks to various sources for help on finding these..
(Will add more to this later)
do you have the compiled version of the CRT TV effect?
I will post a version later as the one I got is tweaked and would more and likely cause you guys bootloops.
I decompiled framework but I don't have a values folder in res. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Yes on some roms you will get wake lag bad & others it will work fine.. On the 2.3 leak it will go to a black screen for a while. (that's due to 2.2.2 drivers though from what I can tell.)
Have you got it to work on cm7?
Is it possible to clarify what framework-res.apk is referred this tutorial?
I read these posts and seems like it has not mentioned so far. However, in my case (i am running MoDaCo Fr16 CR) after decompiling framework-res.apk i cannot see that config inside res->values->bool.xml.
Maybe i'm missing something
Thanks in advance.

lol, just thought that was amusing. let's not annoy dianne.
anyways,trying this now on bionix.
i'm no expert at decompiling etc. just figured it out today lol. i'm pretty positive i did it correctly using apktool. however, after copying the compiled apk back to phone, it just hangs at a black screen on reboot. maybe i did it right and it's just not compatible with bionix? i did read on the apktool site that it won't be signed after recompiling. is this why it won't work? anybody successful here?

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.
So is that how themeing works?

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

Can anyone guide on adding crt effect in services.jar?
Sent from my Desire S using XDA App
Ok so I just have a quick question about theming. How do I change the text color on the lockscreen? I'm pretty sure I have to edit one of the .xml files, but which one and how? And do I have to actually decompile the .apk to edit it or can I just pull it using 7zip and edit it that way? I already have edited the actual .pngs for the lockscreen, so if anyone can help me out with this it would be great. Oh and this is with the stock deodexed rom.
I'm not sure where its located but it will be an xml file and you will need to decompile wherever it lays. Try androidpolicy.jar and look in there..

There are easier ways in there. No decompile needed for softkey.
