I'm using Daneshm90's (very awesome) APK Manager to mess around with my framework-res.apk file. I've sucessfully reskinned some pngs and changed some xml files and stuff like that.
Why does the following cause a bootloop?
1) Decompile Framework-res.apk
2) Make a copy of res\drawable\btn_default_small.xml and rename it btn_default_small2.xml
3) Change the background of something to android:background="@drawable/btn_default_small2"
4) Compile\flash to phone etc, watch it bootloop
I can edit existing files just fine, but whenever I try to add and use a new file everything grinds to a halt, even if its just a copy of a working 'stock' file. What am I missing? Is there a list of files somewhere I need to add my new xml file to? Should I be building from source instead of using apk manager?
Guys,
I really need your help here!!
I beginning to try to create status bar themes for sense 3.6 ROMs on 3.33 base but am getting a bit stuck.
I've pulled all the .pngs I want to edit from SystemUI.apk (decomplied with Multi APK Tool), edited them using photoshop and saved them (Keeping the filenames the same) then recompiled to get the new APK (ensuring it is still named SystemUI.apk).
I don't know how to create flashable zips so have used root explorer to replace the original SystemUI.apk file with my new one and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted but nothing changes.
I don't know if I need to edit more than these image files (like stuff in framework.res.apk) or if there's anything else apart from image editing I need to do. Can anyone please guide me on this?
Once I can do this, I would love to be able to create flashable zips, to flash new themes and I have found odd bits of info here and there online about how to create them, but I am still unsure about this, so if anyone can help me with that as well, it would be great.
Can anyone please help/guide me here?]
Thank you :fingers-crossed:

Hi,

Hi,
I have a quick question. Is it safe to edit and save vold.conf and vold.fstab using RB Text Editor as root?
I seem remember from my old linux days that direct editing of fstab was dangerous.
I don't want to stop a Galaxy Fame from booting by unsafe editing of either of these files.

Hello guy I was able to build cm12.1 for my xperia z3c
But now I want to change the stock theme with a custom theme, which I will build with android studio.
My problem is now that i will get a "customtheme.apk" and I dont know with which file I have to replace with in the cm source directory. I only know how to change build.prop before building the rom (android/system/out/.......z3c/system/build.prop)
Unfortunatly I couldnt find the directory where the "theme files" were.
So my question for you guys is, do you know where the directory is? Or am I totaly in a wrong path and I have to replace it with framework-res.apk or something like that. Or have i to edit framework-res.apk?
As you can see I am completly lost guys. I need your help to proceed.
Hi
I have the excellent Cyanogenmod rom on my 6039Y.
I just would like to modify the sound of the camera.
When I had a 9505 galaxy S4, I was able to modify files in system/media/sound/ui and change the file "camera_click".
with root browser, if I wand to put another file "camera_click", it fails. Root is ok but can't modify or replace files.
Do you have any idea to help ?
Thanks a lot
I modified a few sounds using ES File explorer, might work with you too just be sure to check properties for them to work.
