Why modified framework-res.apk crash The market?

I am modifing my framework-res.apk,all works,but the market crash every time why?
this is development thread not Q & A ask in the Q & A it is a sticky or ask in the general CLOSED

You probably didn't do it correctly. That's my guess.

I open the apk as a zip then i put the modified images into apk,then i put it in system/framework,whats wrong?

Did you resize images to the correct size?

Do u replace .9.png files also? If so u need to decompile the apk first, then redo the .9.png using draw9patch from sdk and then recompile the apk file. Otherwise additional info in those .9.png files get lost, they are a 1px border with scaling info, so don't just resize because scaling down 1px is not a good idea...

Example: i take the original "stat_sys_wifi_signal_1.png" and turn it blue with photoshop then i put in framework-res.apk,the png image is resised...

U changed "background.png" .. It s in d folder (ldpi or mdpi) with d default wallpaper... I was portin a theme.. Nd havin this prob & finally figure out this..
*assumin u placed d star pngs correctly*

[Theme] Battery Icons (UBKPD and maybe more)

Hello everybody, i got sick of my battery icon and wanted a change, but i am with UBKPD (2.3.6. for Argentina and some other countries of Latinamerica) and couldn't use any other theme or part of it.
Thanks to the thread of umarian and other threads all over XDA and HTC Manía (this in spanish) i figure out how to change my battery icon.
I attach diferent .rar files. In there you will find a folder with icons AND the file: framework-res.apk of UBKPD according to the respective icon.
Of course, you can change icons of your Firmware whatever it is (using this icons or those you want) following the steps of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431048
The icons i've used are those provided by umarian in that thread, some others that i picked up from other threads with mods for other firmwares. None are creations of mine. SO, IF YOU LIKE THIS, THANKS HIM FOR CIRCLE BATTERY ICONS.
If you have UBKPD firmware or you want to trie if it's usefull in yours, follow this steps (you would need to be root and to have a file manager with root permissions):
a.) make a backup, just in case. We are going to touch system files!!
b.) copy the file framework-res.apk of the folder with icons you want;
c.) copy it to the folder: system in your phone, there, change permissions to rw-, r--, r--;
d) move the file framework-res.apk from system to system/framework
d) reboot and it's done.
Advice: However you got all the icons to go 1% to 1%, i still couldn't make the changes to apply the icon to work from 1% to 1%.
Please, also, if anyone have a claim on the battery icon, let me know.

Since most users are on custom themes, ICS to be precise, replacing framework-res will result in loss of the theme.
So if you can share the png files then it will be great since it only involves drag n drop using 7zip.
Or you can explain in OP to copy the png from any of your attachment and replacing them in the one's current framework-res

Thanks. My explanation seems it isn't good. Inside the folder I uploaded are the png files plus the framework file. If someone wants to use the png files there are they, separate from the framework file.
On the other hand, in the link I let is the explanation on how can port the png files (icons) to the firmware they want. However, I don't know if this procedure works with ice cream sandwich. It works 100% in ginger .

For the status bar to look like Jellybean, all you need to do is extract your SystemUI.apk and open it with 7zip and change the icons found in drawable folder with that of any Jellybean based SystemUI.apk. Note that you may need to resize the images into LDPI based resolution, not a big deal though.
For adding toggles, there is no way other than decompiling and recompiling.
