Signing framework-res.apk

i got a question for someone obviously brighter than me.... i made some higher level mod's to my framework-res.apk utilizing apkmanager... i was able to decompile and compile with no errors but i need it signed so i can push it .... i used apkmanagers signing utiliy but i get fc's like crazy.. i got the same result using android kitchen signing utility... i can copy over the res folder into another apk but its the resources.arsc i need too and when i copy it over i get a bootloop aswell..
before you respond... i need this file to be able to be pushed .. i know i can create and update.zip and sign the zip but that isnt going to work for what i'm trying to do
any help would be greatly appreciated

Copying resources.arsc to original apk and using update.zip gives me bootloop aswell. Just not funny, I can't flash my phone to test every possible combination.

Too bad you can't use AVD to flash roms... hmmm

i can't replace framework-res.apk ( no space enough )

I'm making my first rom, and studiyng about it...
But i need to replace framework-res.apk, but it says no space enough... ( root explorer )
Any idea?

I highly recomend to not change the framework-res.apk or services.jar with rootexplorer. I got bootloops with working files. Use ADB.

ok no problem, i remplaced it with recovery and it works perfect!
Gracias =)

[Q] Can't translate my ICS ROM

Hi there,
I decompiled all apk from the system/app/ folder of the original .zip of the ICS ROM I want to translate (MIUIv4 RD), I added in each of decomplation directory the correct values-*lang*/ folder, I recompliled everything (without any error, using a bit mooded version of apktool (else it fails)), I flashed every apk to my phone, but the new language won't appear in MIUI ICS menu. Is there any more file to edit so that it can use new languages values ?
Thanks for help. If it succeed, I promise I will upload my files .
Cheers,

[Q] How to edit framework-res.apk without errors?

hello again, this time I have a question and a problem, editing the framework of a rom-res cm7.2 to change the default wallpaper, use apktool and apkmanager to decompile and compile the file, enter the new zip, sign and flash the rom, it installs correctly, but when bootanimation appears after a few seconds the device freezes and restarts and so again and again (I think it is called bootloop), I do not know which tool to use to compile and decompile the apk and the rom starts without error, use apktool and apk manager but without any good result ... I'm doing something wrong? I hope someone can help me, I read other entries that talk about something like this and recommend apktool but I use to run, again thanks!
sorry for my English

Use winrar den extract drawable-ldpi. Chnge default wallpaper. Den delete d drawable-ldpi in framework-res.apk and replace it wid ur modified drawable-ldpi. Apkmanager shd nly be used if v edit xml's or smali's

Modding a ROM

Hello, I need some help.
I want to make my own custom ROM for my Yarvik TAB467 with Android v4.0.4. Well, I have the ROM but,
1. I do not know how to extract the ROM's .img file (WINRAR, 7zip or other apps like Daemon TOOLS won't work);
2. I do not know how to decompile SystemUI.apk after extracting the ROM, then edit it and then recompiling back to apk
3. After I am done, how do I convert the extracted files back to .img?
Please tell me how to do this in the safest way so I won't brick my tablet Dx
Thanks in advance
EDIT: all I want to edit is the NavBar's color and giving it a Galaxy Tab look by the way. Or just the color.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.img files are in yaffs file format use some scripts or Yaffs Explorer from Market
also to decompile .apk files use APK_Manager
mods to framework possible due to UOTKitchen
