Has anyone been able to unpack the Framework-Res.apk?
I have a feeling this is another thing we're going to have to wait for the 3.0 source code in order to accomplish, just wondering if anyone else has been able to make it happen.

Im trying to make my own rom, i have everything in place to recompile it but i dont know what command to use to do that,
anyone know, thanks!
i was just wondering what the deal is with trying to change the color of the letters and numbers on the taskbar.. i remember reading somewhere that it causes a bootloop but has there been any progress on that?
thanks!
Not sure about the boot loop rumor, but its almost near impossible to change. you have to deodex .odex files to get to the actual file to make the change. The problem is the .odex files can be deodexed, but reassembling them is more difficult. Trust me, im still trying to find a way to get this done.

I was able to un-odex the file and see the code I needed to change. The problem fo rme was re-odexing the file. I un-odexed the file on the phone and then used utilities to re-odex on my PC. I wonder if I need to re-odex directly on the phone to create a valid file. Has anyone tried this yet?

i dont know..
if i had enough skills and knowledge about that stuff i would try but i'm still learning :]
is anyone up for the challenge?
I've got an idea for a mod I want to make. I know where to find the Java code in the AOSP. This afternoon I spent some time futzing around with framework-res.apk; I used apktool to uncompress/decompile it, made some goofy changes, rebuilt the .apk, then signed and pushed back to my phone successfully.
Now, I want to make programmatic changes. So I pulled services.jar, decompiled with apktool again, and got my .smali files. Unfortunately, I don't understand the format whatsoever. I'm trying to do something more complicated than simply changing colors/graphics.
I want to know whether I can download the Android source, make my modification to the Java file I need, and recreate a services.jar out of it all. Is that possible? If so, is there a tutorial somewhere?
Hello,
I would like to know, how its is possible to find, for example the file core/java/android/view/Surface.java .
Sorry for that noob question, but I am really interested in Android Software Developement and when I look at the github-profiles of others I always find those directories and files, I do not find on my system.
I tried using the baksmali tool and baksmalied my framework.jar . Then I found the file /framework/android/view/surface.smali but there are mostly completely different commands, so I think, there must be another tool that can edit the framework.jar in another way.
I would be very thankful for help.
AFAIK, what your looking for is in source, so once a build is compiled, you will not find that file(or folder structure). When you decompile framework.jar, you will find mostly smali files, which makes looking at the code give me headaches...
What are you trying to do? Is this for ICS or GB? and have you looked into setting up a repo on your computer? If you set one up, you will then find all the java source files you are looking for, but then you must compile the files you edit.

Hello guys.
I am wondering if there's any option/programme/app that can detect changes in apk files.
For example:
A dev releases a mod for something, let's say swaps a .png files to a custom .png and shares the mod in a thread.
And i want the same mod but in a different .png.
Now i can ofcourse ask the dev to do it, which is easy but i wont learn anything.
So i decide to try to make it for myself, but having no past experience with android i don't know how to do it.
And here's where the app/programme comes in (if there is one, ofc). A software that can detect any kinds of changes after decompiling apk files. Now many of you know that apk files have several folders inside, and inside those folder are various files.
So this software (if it exists) could be able to detect changes in the modded apk compared to my unmodded apk, and tell me where exactly the change(s) have been made.
In this way i don't need to bother a dev, and i maybe start to learn how to mod special areas of my phones UI.
Thanks for any reply!
Good day!
