or if anything, tell me how i can do it? I'm a graphic designer so if i had the actual art files it wouldn't be too difficult. i just dunno how to access the art files and then re-save them to use for a theme
Search xda for theme-porter. It will help do exactly what you are looking to do. It pulls the .png files from framework and apps and ports them to your current framework and appa

http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmmogqb8fnord0m/framework-res.apk
alright i think i ported them over correctly. I used the port script program and then put them into update.zip files using the updater script program
I'm currently backing up my phone and then i'll test them out
If they work fine I'll upload them both
yeh i must have missed something, the update zips I created don't install. They get to "installing update" in recovery and just hang there....nothing actually happens
I'll upload the zip files if anyone wants to try and mess with them

Sorry it didnt work out for you. I always just took the .apk files and pushed them to my phone after running the script. Im still away from my computer but will try as soon as I can

@Davidukfl
here is your framework man! Make sure that you rename the files to just framework-res.apk. I just renamed them for your convenience!
Take the following steps to put it back on your phone:
USUAL DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if you brick your phone...blah blah blah
Connect your phone to your pc in charge only usb mode. Make sure the phone is recognized by your computer. Place the .apk file in the location of your choice.
Command prompt 1:
1) type adb devices (make sure your phone shows up)
2) type adb shell
3) type adb remount
4) type adb push <location of framework-res.apk> /system/framework/framework-res.apk
5) type adb remount
Your phone should reboot, and then be good to go.
I dont use fission, and haven't tested this, but it has worked for me when I have ported ROM's.
Enjoy!
alright thanks, works great.
What i did was remove the old framwork from the original theme file, re-zipped it and then applied the theme like normal.
then I followed your instructions and applied the framework seperately

someone over on androidforums ported it for 2.4.X however i don't think he has time to update it for the newest version.
the framework posted earlier is cool, but it's not the entire theme, plus im having troubles pushing it to my device.
An actual update.zip would be brilliant for us "less technical" folk

There was a request on the evo 3d forums to make google search app use https instead of http. Original Thread
So i edited the apk to use https and it apparently works on any device.
I'm not sure of the benefits of it but figured i'd post it for others that want to use it.
I modified the strings.xml file changing the search string. Like so:
Replace the lines in your file with this.
Code:
<string name="google_search_base" formatted="false">https://www.google.com/search?hl=%1$s&gl=%2$s&</string>
<string name="google_suggest_base" formatted="false">https://www.google.com/complete/search?hl=%1$s&gl=%2$s&</string>
Install
Uninstall/Remove GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk from /system/app
Copy apk to your sdcard
Reboot
Copy apk from sdcard to /system/app
Got to the apk in a file manager like root explorer, es explorer(free) and install
This apk should install on any device please post what device you have and if it worked.
Confirmed Working On:
HTC
--Evo 3D
--MyTouch 4g - Thanks Orical
Samsung
--Galaxy S2 Skyrocket - Thanks __Sorcerer__
Download:
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk 543.91 KB
works on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
I'm gonna see if I can get this going on the Sensation and the new version MyTouch but this installed with no issues and does have the widget and main app and both work without FC's, good work man.
smokin1337, can you please explain how you did this? I tried extracting the .apk but I don't see a file called strings.xml anywhere Thanks!
You have to use apktool to decompile the apk. There is a gui one now that makes it easier look on the portal from a few days ago.

Hi
MIUI V4 has an issue of silent whatsapp notification.
a solution was found and described in here :
What you need to do is decompile the APK.
Look in \res\xml\preferences.xml
Search for android:ringtoneType="all"
Replace with android:ringtoneType="notification"

The problem is when I decompile, change and recompile whatsapp apk (and sign it), it becomes smalller (dropping from 7MB to 5.4). even trying to swap resources.arsc of the files with 7zip, does the same.
I even tried manipulating XDA whatsapp plus, but the result is the same - when trying to install the new "small" apk I get an error "application not installed" and that's it (no other version exists in the device).
How do I deal from here ?
Whatsapp won't fix this as it is custom ROM related and I think it is fixed on MIUI JB...
Thanks.
This is the latest official whatsapp apk from the Google Play :
Hi itzik2sh
I think i have whatsapp notification working normally (icon, sound and vibration) on MiUI (my cMiUI fyi), so, kinda weird that not working for u...
Anw, bout the size, i think it is normal cause, I used this trim size trick to minimize the size of my roms tho ^^…so, once it is installed and work properly, u shouldnt worry bout the size

Check if signatures are there in the apk(compiled one). The changes in size are normal. It happens due to compression ratios.

Can i port the original signature? How do I do that?
sent from me
I hope not! That is the point of signing the APK. Only the person with the private part of the key can sign, allowing users to confirm that the package, as they have it, came from the signer.

Hi Jeff
I know it's the vision and purpose of signing, but there are too many apks
I'm lately unable to recompile and get them working.
Erik - I was also never able to translate MIUI camera.apk,
as adding some resources made apk not run anymore. even swaping resources.arsc doesn't help.
Working with latest APKTOOL jar 1.5.0 and signing !
Thanks!

Most of the guides that I have found are for non HTC phones. I have a few links for you to check out. From what I have read, they are mostly framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar edits.
I have extracted the classes.dex out of the jar and tried to wade my way through all of the .smali files. It looks as if the GlobalActions.smali points to either GlobalActions3 or GlobalActions4.smali for reboot options.
The guides also point to certain edits which need to be made to the framework-res.apk. Mainly strings.xml. They say to then recompile, then decompile the new framework-res.apk and lookup certain hex values in public.xml.I thought I had it figured out, but then I saw that some of the hex codes were 4xxxxxx hex codes, which points to framework-HTC-res.apk. That's kindof where I got stuck because I could not get that apk to successfully decompile.
Looking at the GlobalActions.smali I saw references to com.HTC.resources, so I kinda knew this was to be expected. I seem to be having trouble getting the necessary framework installed through apktool to successfully decompile.
Additionally, I have taken apart quite a few Roms frameworks (Roms that aren't using Sense 5 toolbox or exposed mods) to try to decipher how they applied the necessary changes, yet they are all so different. Some look to have used arrays, others strings. I know the arrays are probably for multilingual options.
Links coming as soon as I get to my pc.

From what I have read about it, it looks more like a File Manager/Archiver.
@ PhoneGeek... for Linux I would have to say that apktool is going to be your best bet. You can find the XDA thread here. And the main page for apktool is here.

That is what I was originally trying to let you know. The one for the HTC MOD is device specific (HTC Desire I believe). I have gone through the .smali files as these guides instructed and noticed a wide variety of variance. If you decide to attempt the instructions per those guides, you do so at your own risk; especially if you have no idea what you are really doing. The Devs around here are labeled that for a reason. Chances are... they really know what they are doing when messing around with files that could deem our phones inoperable.
One bit of advice I will give you before you start messing with the .smali files, is to learn Java, if you don't already, and then head over to the Smali page and read through all of the documentation in their wiki (it will be hard to understand if you don't know Java though). After taking the time to learn these things, when you open up the .smali files you will have a better understanding of what you are actually looking at and how things are structured. For example, when you open one up, you will perhaps see some variance of :
invoke-direct {v0, v1, p0, v2}
Well, what do all of these v's and p's mean - what do they point to?
There are two naming schemes for registers - the normal v naming scheme and the p naming scheme for parameter registers. Confused?
Read the wiki! Confused by the wiki? Learn Java! This is really the best advice that I can give you. By no means am I downing you or questioning your intelligence. I am simply trying to help you by pointing you in the right direction. Spoon-feeding you all of the answers isn't going to help you learn. I am by no means an expert; not even dillusional enough to think that I am- though my wife may disagree!
In addition, when you get to the Smali page, on the Project home tab, there is a link for an IRC chat room and an example of how the entry level "Hello World" app is broken down into .smali.
Hope that I have helped, to at least point you in the right direction. If I have click the Thanks button!

Friday night I found out how to manually do it but java was being a pain in the butt and I wanted to test it before telling you how also so I could have the file to upload to you. Just so you know the file you needed to edit was the framework-res.apk not the .jar. the xml that needed to be edited was located at framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml
Decompiled it just fine but on the compile after I was done editing java was being stupid and the compile failed. Hope this information can help you in the future.

Or edit the framework-res.apk yourself. I am glad I know how now because I will never need to wait for someone else to do it. well the only reason Iwould is if foxfi breaks in a update.

Where did you learn how to edit the framework-res.apk? I would rather know how to do it myself but my java skills are rudimentary at best (though I am a quick learner!!). What did you use to do the editing?
Thanks!
I downloaded a note 2 recovery zip of the modified apk. I then spent about ten minutes googling where the tether subscription checker was located then compared my apk to the note 2 apk. A lot of trial and error if you would like to see it old and slow has a edited recovery zip for the 4.3 tether (came out a day after I was looking for it so that's why I didn't choose that one). Just decompile both apk and look in framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml. what I did when comparing it to the note 2 was open both of the XML in notepad++ and compare lines. I am confident I can now mod it without examples if it ever happens again. Finding a decompiler is the easy part there are a lot of free ones out there just Google it and as long as you can recognize every character in the XML (no odd symbols) it decompiled correctly. I could not find a guid on how to do this but I probably learned more from my errors than I would have learned from a step by step. Hope that helps and sorry if that made no sense typed it in a rush.

Oh and if you dig around in the apk long enough you might notice how easy (but time consuming) it would be to make your own custom modifications and themes for your own rom. I like doing it this way over xposed because no matter what I do xposed is super buggy for me.
