Use Root Explorer (or equivalent) to get them from your phone. To get them out of the firmware files, you need something that can extract or mount rfs files, but doing it from your phone is easier if you're rooted.
Thank You
Thank you very much

Does anyone know hoe to make themes for gingerbread in UOT Kitchen?
When it comes to "file upload", I dont know what to do.
Please help.
If you have a gingerbread ROM then you have to unzip the ROM file you flashed and go into the folders (/system/framework and /system/app) To find the 2 files it requires.
If its froyo then only the frameworkres.apk is needed
The files are found within the zip file of the ROM you downloaded

Thanks. That seams more complicated then I thought.
Its actually really easy. What you need to do is get the rom you've installed and if its gingerbread, get the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk and upload those files.
Then once you've got the zip file from the kitchen, you will also need to get the update binary file from the rom too and replace the one in the zip from the kitchen and then put it on the sdcard and install from CWM.
It may sound a little daunting, but once you've done it once or twice it will become second nature
UOT Kitchen states "you can now use kitchen with stock odexed roms (if you have .odex files in your rom - kitchen works for you too)". I'm running the stock OTA 2.3.6 ROM (odexed), rooted, with 3e Recovery on my SR. Trying to create a very simple battery icon and status bar mod using the Kitchen. Instructions say to upload your ROM's "framework-res.apk" and "systemUI.apk" files along with your theme changes... and Kitchen creates a cooked-up zip file you can flash. But have a few questions:
1) since it says it now supports odexed ROMs, do I also need to upload the "systemUI.odex" file along with "systemUI.apk" and "framework-res.apk files?
2) does the cooked up zip file contain "framework-res.apk", "systemUI.apk" and "systemUI.odex" files... or just the 2 apk files?
3) if only the apks, do I leave my original "systemUI.odex in /data/app folder... or move/delete it?
4) without CWM, can I extract the needed apks from the zip file created by the Kitchen and use Root Explorer to fix permissions and place files in their appropriate folders?
I posted these questions on the UOT Kitchen site, but they must be backed up as have not received any reply... hoping someone here on the SR Forum may have some experience with the UOT Kitchen and using odexed ROMs. Thx!
1. You need SystemUI.apk from /system/app, framework-res.apk from /system/framework, and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework
2.it will contain updates to framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemui.apk and might add to the system/media or any other area you elect to modify
3. dont touch the odex files. they will be needed as is.
4. maybe, maybe not. I always use CWM to install. Sorry.
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.

.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
i have been extract the Whatsapp.apk into file to edit some of file and i now i want to make it back to APK, i have been trying to make it .rar and then rename it to.apk but always error,thank you alot
Repack it to .zip and then rename it to. apk.. It'll work as a system app but if u want it to work like a regular downloaded app,u have to sign the apk..
you will need a signapk program to sign it...check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241952&page=2
done i found the trick
Simply u can unpack or repack apk files here are some easy steps:
1) install root explorer
2) Click on that file which u wanna unpack, after clicking perform the action (view ) then select all the files and extract them.
3) After editing or modifying,select that folder and compress to normal zip.
4) Go to the zip file and rename .zip to.apk
Done
Thanks for the info, but I think most here know how to unzip apk files, and this isn't the correct forum.
It should also be mentioned that this method is quick and easy, but is really only useful for replacing images. To make modifications to any xml or smali, you have to decompile the apk.

Yes, this method its only working, when you change the pictures.
The xml, smali etc. file method only working, when you use apktool app (on pc or android).
