First copying framevork apk to app folder does nothing, second just adding new graphics to apk without modding xml files does nothing.
I suppose that you have already modded framework (first Chinese rooted ROM had this modd in framework-res.apk) and replaced those .pngs and there is no need to rename and compress just drag and drop using winrar. Of course you could not have any effect if you did not copied this apk to your root/system/framework folder.
There is also charging graphics, after all without modding xml files you can only see few graphics (battery level 0, 10, 20, 40...). And dangerous thing is replacing framework apk with another from other ROM version will end up with "bootloop"...

Hey folks,
Okay so I have the HTC_IME_JONASI file installed and I see it in the setting but I am having trouble changing the keyboard colors, Can anyone walk me through this or direct me to a link where I can do this?
Thanks In Advance Folks!
afaik you would need to modify it before pushing it over to the phone
unless its something different than just a themed ime
(this should be in Q&A btw)
You have to do this
1. change the file extension from .apk to .zip
2. extract the contents of the .zip file to a directory, if you use winrar or 7zip or similar, you usually can just right click on the file, then it will extract to "xxxxxx\" where xxxxx would just be the name of the file and a directory where that file is located will be created.
3. Go to the directory that was just created and then go to the RES folder
4. Scan through the different folders within RES and find the files you will need to change
5. Download GIMP (free) or acquire Photoshop (ripoff price)
6. Use GIMP or photoshop to edit your .png files, then save to same directory
7. Do this for all files needed, also read up on .9.png files, if you don't edit them properly before sending them back to your phone, your keys might be coming out looking stretched.
8. Once you edit all files, and also note that some files might exist in other directories that are the same as in another. Same filename, check the dimensions (pixels example 54 x 47) and if they are the same just copy then paste it over from the other directory and overwrite that file that wasn't edited, that way you don't have to do it twice
9. Use your program 7zip or winrar or similar and compress the files again. Easy way is to go back to the root of the folder where it shows all the files you extracted within the folder you created, select all files in that folder, right click, then choose add to archive, and make sure you create a zip. Change the file extension from .zip to .apk
10. Push to phone and pray it looks right.
Because some people asked me, I wrote this tutorial that explains how to port ICS transition animations on EVERY ROM & especially on EVERY PHONE!!!.
1) First of all, you need to download and install APK MANAGER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
2) Extract with WinRAR, from the ROM you want to modify, the file framework-res.apk, that you can find in the directory \System\framework\.
3) Go to the apk manager folder and place the framework-res.apk file in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding".
4) In the apk manager folder, double click on the file "Script". A cmd window will open.
5) Where it says "Please make your decision", write "22" (Set current project) and enter. Then enter "1" (to choose the first apk) and enter. Then enter "9" (Decompile apk) and enter.
The script will decompile the framework-res.apk.
6) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\anim\.
In this folder there are the animations of your rom. They consist in some .xml files decompiled.
7) Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1qjwtotg1r8umm1
8) Copy the files from the folder "anims" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes. Then copy also the files from the folder "other_files" to the anim folder.
9) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml and put these two lines under the line of "shortAnimTime":
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
10) Return to Script. Enter "11" (Compile apk) and enter.
The script will rebuild the framework-res.apk.
11) You are asked if this is a system application. Enter "y" and enter. Then a second question appears. Enter newly "y".
12) Then after it processes, Don't press anything & DON'T CLOSE THIS WINDOW!!! A new folder "keep" is created in the apk manager folder. Go inside it and delete the file "resources.arsc". Now go inside keep\res\anim\ and delete every file with the same name as every file of the "anims" folder of the zip downloaded.
Then return to Script and press enter. It processes, then if everything went ok, in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" a file "unsignedframework-res.apk" is created. Copy it outside and rename it "framework_res.apk".
13) Now you can create a flashable zip or you can simply push it to your system (but you have to sign the apk).
CONGRATRULATIONS!!! YOU ARE DONE!!!
And if you think this tutorial is useful, CLICK THANKS!!!
Now I'm satisfied and i can continue studying phylosophy for tomorrow test...

Did you pushed the modded framework-res.apk directly into the phone?
Do you think [Android 4.0 ICS] should be in the title in this form? It's a little misleading.
Hmm...It started FC. Removing my links for now. Gonna see why.
Works great
Great guide. It worked for me.
Oddly though, I replaced my framework-res.apk through root explorer, set all the correct permissions, and when I rebooted, my google accounts were deleted, along with my contacts and google music library.
Not a problem though, Ill just have to relogin to them.
Great, it works very well. I maybe found a more simple way to do it :
1. Dowload ApkTools package I've done here :
http://www.multiupload.com/Q6YSAF2MH3
2. Unzip it to your harddrive and put your FrameWork-res.apk in it,
3. Click on "decomp.bat"
4. A new "unpack" directory has been created, with decompiled files in it,
5. Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1qjwtotg1r8umm1
6. Copy the files from the folder "anims" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes. Then copy also the files from the folder "other_files" to the anim folder.
7. Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml and put these two lines under the line of "shortAnimTime":
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
8. Patch the anim files in it, and edit the xml,
9. When finished, just click "recomp.bat" to get a new compiled file "framework-res2.apk",
10. Juste rename the file and put it in a update zip file, you can use this one and replace the framework file in it by yours :
http://www.multiupload.com/PPMFV9Y316
Should work !!!
PS : If your framework-res.apk contains .9.png files, decompilation will fails. No problem with standard CM7 framework-res.apk, but some custom themed ROM can have the problem. Don't know how to fix that, maybe the 1st solution with APK MANAGER work better !?

Maybe this is the problem someone is having...Someone must compare your version and mine, to see which one works and which not. (Obviously with a non-cyanogenmod rom )

Well, in the APK MANAGER post they say :
>Optimize pngs (ignores .9.pngs)
So it should work better !! (but as I'm lazy, I still use APKTOOL one click solution )
I got instant bootloops! How? Can u patch for me??

Just a heads up. I downloaded your file and you renamed your framework-res wrong. There's a space between "framework-res" and ".apk" so it won't overwrite the original.
this does not have the rotation animation..
anyway to get that..

I have apk manager 5.02 which I can de-compile framework and recompile with out any issues.
I downloaded the stock 2.08 sense 3.5 rom and used explore2fs to extract the contents of the system.img file. From there I then put htcdialer.apk file into apk manager to decompile it and I get the following errors:
See attached log file as it is too big to put into the forum.
Any ideas why the apk file is not decompiling?
I dont hink that apkmanager can correctly decompile sense 3.5 apks, I could be wrong but i could never get them to work properly
If APK Manager and Tool cant extract even GB ROM apks is there a way of extracting and editing xml files? I tried 7zip and I can edit images but XML's do not extract correctly
Really interested to see how to edit XML files if APK Manager and APK Tool cant decode the APK's.
Found out what I was doing wrong!! When decompiling the apk file I wasn't adding the dependancy. So for example when I was decompiling the systemui.apk, I was simply using option 9 to decompile which is not right!
What you need to do is copy the systemui.apk file in to place-apk-here-for-modding
Then find the dependency framework so for example the systemui.apk depends on com.htc.recources.apk. So pull this from your phone on to the desktop and then use option 10 to decompile. It will then prompt you for the dependancy apk file. Drag that on to the command window and press enter and it decompiles! It is easy when you know how
Also when you recompile you will probably get errors...You need to take the newly created classes.dex and drop it into the original apk then push to your phone
Where can I find the dependency file??
I got the same problem when I try to Decompile any system app, like "SystemUI.apk" or "Settings.apk" ...etc
Now I understand from you that I need a dependency file, Where can I get it??
I use Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003), Rooted and Deodxed
i use samsung galaxy mini. can i use apkmanager to decompile any apk for my device......by pressing 9 directly.....? i want to decompile settings.apk....thnx in advance......

Downloads
You need to Download the following...
1. Apk Tool [link(ICS)|link(GB)]... A tool for De-Compiling apks
2. 7 zip [link]... A tool for un-compressing any sort of compressed file
3. ROM signer [link]... Restores the signing of the ROM zip file, which is messed up while uncompressing
4. Any Image Resizer
Setting up your PC
You need to do the following...
1. Create a folder (preferably in Desktop, and name it "Android")
2. Create Sub-Folders by the names "Base ROM" and "Custom ROM". Also make Sub Folders by the name...
a. ApkTool... Extract contents of ApkTool Here
b. Signer... Extract Autosigner here
I. Let's get our Base ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to get the base ROM in the ./Desktop/Base ROM folder. It is also recommended that you flash the Base ROM into your phone, as it will help in testing the mods, as you make them.
The process of getting the base ROM will depend on the scenario your situation fits in, from amongst the following...
1. You want an already made Custom ROM as your Base... Download the ROM [willl come in .zip folder], and extract it in /Desktop/Android/Base ROM folder
2. You want to base your ROM on a stock firmware, which came in an ftf package... Use the following tool to extract the files from the ftf file.
3. You want to base your ROM on a stock firmware, which is instaled on your phone...
Take a back up of the ROM using ClockWork Mod, and copy the back up files (from /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup), somewhere to your computer. Then, using this tool, extract the files to /Destktop/Android/Base ROM
Copy the following folders from /system of your phone using Root Browser
/app
/bin
/etc
/fonts
/framework
/lib
/media
/semc
/usr
/xbin
build.prop
4. You want to base your ROM on a stock firmware, that comes as a ready to flash .zip file on the internet... Download the ROM, and extract it in /Desktop/Android/Base ROM folder
After completion, the Base ROM will have the following Folder Structure
Desktop
Android
Base ROM
META-INF [only if you got your base from another Custom ROM][/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]
system
apps
bin
etc
.

*ScreenShots*
Copy the contents of Base ROM folder to Custom ROM folder.
We now have the foundation of our ROM laid out in front of us, inviting us to show our creativity.
II. Let's work on the Base ROM... Creation of the Custom ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A. Apks Make up the Android System...
We will now work, only on the /Desktop/Android/Custom ROM Folder
1. Look into the /system/apps...
You will find apk files which will be raninging frm 100 to 200 in number. Err, half or more are known as "Crapware". You need to remove files which are useless, that's a very important step to enhance performance of your final ROM. Look into your device's forums, to get the list of Safe-To-Remove appks from the respective firmware. In case your base is an already built custom ROM, you will have to remove lesser or none of the files.
2. Here, you can add your desired files as well, keeping compaitability in mind.
3 [Optional]. On a .txt file, keep a record of all the apps your removed or added, as it will help in troubleshooting at a later stage.
B. Implementing Already-Built-MODs in your ROM...
1. Download any Mod you want to keep in your ROM [Make sure your device, and the Base ROM is compaitable]
2. Extract the zip file and you will get a system folder.
3. Copy the files from the system folder to /Custom ROM/sytem, making sure the files go into the folders they came from.
That is, all apk files from /system/apps folder of the Mod should go to /Custom ROM/system/app folder, and so on...
C. Changing the Interface... Let's Mess with SystemUI[nterface].apk
Go to /system/app and copy SystemUI.apk to
/Desktop/Android/ApkTool/place-apk-here-for-modding
Working with ApkTool
The link provided in this post is of an easy to use software called ApkTool.
1. Double Click on the Script.bat file to open up the software.
*Screenshot*
2. Decompress the SystemUI.apk using option '9'.
Wait for the process to complete
3. Go to /Projects, and you will find a folder called SystemUI.
Open the /SystemUI.apk/res/drawable folders and you will find lots and lots of .png files
*Screenshot*
4. Look into the files carfully.
Bingo, they correspond to the various system elements of the SystemUI of the Base ROM.
5. Open any file you want to edit, edit it, and save in the original location, replacing the original un-edited file. [On a temporary notepad file, note which all files you edit]
Note: You will notce that there are .png files for, say the Battery Icon. You will find that there are files for each state of the Battery Icon. So if you intend to edit the Battery Icon, you need to edit all the files corresonding to each of the states.
5.A. A common exaple of such editing is making the elements of a Gingerbread SystemUI.apk look like ICS SystemUI.apk. For this get hands on any ICS SystemUI.apk and extract both the files in seprate locations, and then copy the files from the ICS SystemUI folder to GB SystemUI folder. However, here you must make sure that the names of the files coming from ICS SystemUI are changed to corresponding values of the GingerBread SystemUI.apk. Here, also ensure that the new files, which replace the original files, have the same dimensions as the original files. If not use any image resizing tool.
*Screenshot*
6. If you want to edit some values in the .xml files, carry on. Edit the files as you wish, and replace the original files. Once you are done with the editing...
7. Open the Script.bat file and run command 11. [Say NO when it asks if the file is a system file]You will have a new SystemUI.apk file called unsignedSystemUI.apk in /place-apk-here-for-modding folder.
Go and fill your pockets with some cookies from the kitchen. Start having them.
8. Keep the temporary notepad file on one side and open the unsignedSystemUI.apk with 7zip, and open the original SystemUI.apk using 7zip besides it.
*Screenshot*
9. Drag and extract the files you edited to a temporary folder.
10. Drag the extracted files to the SystemUI.apk, replacing the older files, making sure all the edited files go to the proper place. [That's why I asked to keep a note of which all files were edited].
*Screenshot*
11. If you edited some .xml files, then you MIGHT need to copy the resources.acrc file at the root of the unsignedSystemUI.apk file to the root of the original SystemUI.apk file.
Once done, the original SystemUI.apk has now become a modded SystemUI.apk, with your creativity embedded into it. Time to test the SystemUI.apk.
12. Using Quick ADB, push the edited SystemUI.apk to your phone.
*Screenshot*
13. Re-boot your phone and you shoud see the changes you made in the UI. .
In case it gives force close message, you messed up somewhere. So you will have to push the original SystemUI.apk [from /Base ROM/system/apps folder], and try to mod the file from scratch again.
14. Copy the sucessfully modded SystemUI.apk from /Apktool/place-apk-here-for-modding folder to /Custom ROM/system/app folder, replacing the older file.
D. Changing the Interface... Editing other .apks
1. As earlier, copy the apk you want to edit from /Custom ROM/System/app to /Apktool/**** folder, and perform the modification to optain a new modded .apk file.
2. Test this file if you wish, by pushing it using Qucik ADB.
3. If the modded file wrks, copy this new file to /Custom ROM/System/app and replace the original file
E. Changing the Interface... Editing the font
1. Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
2. Go to the folder system/fonts/
3. Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
4. To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one (rename first)...
If you did a good job in the above steps, the /Custom ROM folder should be having the contents of a wonderful ROM in making.
Here, I will like to mention that, if you want to upload your custom ROM on the internet and share it, you must ensure that you did lots of hard work in the above steps. There's no point making a custom ROM without modifying lots of files and adding lots of tweaks.
Just make sure that you do so much of modding that, say, your Gingerbread ROM looks like Jellybean, or say, your ROM made for Galaxy Y works as smooth as an SIII.
III. Compiling the Custom ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A. If you got your base ROM as in [1 or 4] in step I above
1. Copy the META-INF folder from /Base ROM to /Desktop/Android/Custom ROM
2. Rename the Custom ROM folder to whatever-you-want-your-ROM-to-be-called.
3. Add the Folder to a zip file using 7zip.
4. Take this zip file to /Desktop/Android/Signer folder and run sign.bat.
X. The new zip file called Update.zip is your ROM.
Copy this file to the SD Card of your phone, format /system, /data, /cache using CWM and flash your .zip file. And enjoy your custom ROM.
B. If you got your base ROM as in [2 or 3] in step I above... Creating your own Update script
Read the following Tutorial. [link]
Once you are done, try the ROM on your phone. Share it if you feel it's great. And hit Thanks Button.

Tutorial on [how to] make a flashable zip 
Credits:
Special Thanks to google.com for teaching me  and rishik999 for sample.zip
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
- Any file that you want to replace or add to your phone;
- An existing (base) cwm flashable zip file. - I've attached one below;
- 7-zip, Winrar or any program which can open and modify zip files .
STEPS:
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:
(1) Download and place the base.zip (attached below) anywhere on your desktop;
(2) Right-click on it and open the archive with 7zip, winrar ... [DO NOT extract]
Now you should see two folders: one called "system" and one called "META-INF".
1. Let's start with the "system" one, so open it:
In there, will go all files that what you want to add or replace to the system. So let's say for example that you want to replace the bootanimation.
Make a "New Floder"
-Rename its as "media" (make sure its aint in CAPS nor with in quotation marks)
-drag those two new empty folders into the /system/ folder of the 7-zip opened archive
-now simply drop the two files in their respective place: the bootanimation.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder
.. If you have more files to add, just follow the logic above; I'm sure you get the idea by now.. :silly:
Hints
/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)
/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk,android.policy.jar
/system/media - bootanimation.zip
/system/lib - libraries (*.so)
2. The other folder included in the opened archive is named "META-INF" and all the file in it should be left unchanged.
Now,just place the zip into your sd card! & try your luck  Of course it will work 
That's it !
Hihihihi...damn easy na ???

video recorder problem
hello, I use the camera fix for CM10.1.
It works awesome but the video recorder cannot work after fixing.
Before fixing, I use both stock camera and camera jb+.
Video recorder can wok on camera jb+ then.
But it cannot work after flashing fixing camera jar via cwm!
How should I do ?
Warning:No file context!
Does this sentence "Warning:No file context" might affect the phone recovery????
Thumbs Up Bro !!
You made my day !!
learned something new...
Really nice thread.
I wanna ask that i want to edit my build. Prop file. So in case if anything goes wrong can i flash the original one via this method or it will work only for apps.
Because i once had modified it but stucked at bootloop. So i don't want it to happen again.

HEY BUDDY YOU SAID THAT..
Make a "New Floder"
-Rename its as "media" (make sure its aint in CAPS nor with in quotation marks)
-drag those 'two new' empty folders into the /system/ folder of the 7-zip opened archive
-now simply drop the "two files" in their respective place: the bootanimation.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder
this includes what are the two folders and the two files. Sorry but i could figure out only one. I Want To Make a zip file using your method but don't want to take any risk.
