Here is my first contribution to this forum.
Simple instructions:
1 nandoid backup
2 adb devices
3 adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(make a backup copy of this file)
4 open the apk file with winrar
5 insert the "status_bar_header_background.9.png" that is in the attached rar file into the framework-res.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder
6 adb remount
7 adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
8 adb reboot
I'll be making and adding a few more as they happen.

Nice work. Do you have a flashable zip just for the transparent shade?

Bootloops, endless bootloops...
Edit: got it to work by inserting the .png into manups' theme and flashing it. Adb push pull method was a no go on fresh 3.1.

Here is a modded status_bar_close_on.9

awesome ass mod! what are the dimensions for this?

Nice work! I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention.

here is my version!

I tried this and got a boot loop. It would load all the way to the boot sequence then FC the framework. How can i modify without breaking the signature. I am on a mac, because i know everyone uses winrar on pc.

Some had posted a file and asked for the avenge sevenfold death bat to be put on.
I had done it but the posts were lost when the site was recovered a few days ago.
I cant remember who it was, but here it is.

Sorry I am not familiar with the process for MAC's.

I tried this with ninja morph and still didnt work. Can someone elaborate on the process maybe. I must be missing something somewhere.

How do I get rid of the "sprint" in the upper left of the notification bar?
Also, do I need to delete the original png?

Instructions on editing the sprint banner can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708419
To do this mod you wouldnt delete the original png...you need to replace it with the modded png file. I would make and save backup of the original on your local hard drive that way if you ever wanted to go back to stock or create a new banner with a different image you would have a copy of the non modified stock png to work with.

Thanks, I got the header and closer .png changed. Now to get rid of the pesky Sprint lettering.

Why can't they make equal apps for us? Right? :'(
Would somebody please mod the services.jar from the 3.29 odex Rom posted by joeykrim. All we need is the services.jar and an edited png right?

when i do this procedure i get all kinds of force close errors. to the point of i have to do a nand restore. i edited a "status_bar_header_background.9.png" file from another theme. The .png image file is the same physical size, but the framework-res.apk file is now larger in size than the one i edited it from, does that have anything to do with it?

Decompiling framework-res.apk?

I am trying to decompile the framework-res.apk file with APK Manager. But it's not working. When I did this with the DX, I had to use a dependee apk file (moto-res.apk) to be able to decompile without error but I can't seem to find the write file to use. Does anyone know if there is a dependee file or should I just be able to decompile it? Don't know if the Apk Manager 4.9 will actually work but I am trying to figure it out. Any help would be great.

Couldnt you just rename the .apk extension to .zip unzip it then edit it rezip then sign it to install. Or you could use 7zip if ur on windows to get into the .apk without renaming to .zip and messing around with signing etc.

Will this actually work for a framework-res.apk file?

This won't work because this way you don't get the Value folders that I need to access. It has to be decompiled to get access to those.

That's the million dollar question. You will not be able to deodex or decompile until hc source is released. Otherwise we'd all have deodexed zip aligned pngopt roms.

I have done all of these (plus recompiling/odexing). The tools are out there, but they are not 100%. I have had to fix several resources manually before being able to repackage them. I only use apktool/baksmali/smali though so I don't know about the various front-ends like APKManager

Yeah I saw your posted from your other thread but I'm not that edumicated to use that tool you mentioned. That is why I was trying to use the APK Manager.

I don't use APK Manager, so I don't know about that. I believe it is a wrapper around apktool though, so you should be able to just replace apktool.jar in the APK Manager folder

Maybe a really dumb question, but did you copy the framework-res.apk as 1.apk to the apktool folder?

[HowTo] Easily deodex (System-)Apps and extract StockFirmwares

Hey guys,
for all Dev´s and maybe for user that want to deodex new Firmwares. Here´s my guide how to easily deodex (system-)apps on windows. You don´t need your phone!
Our Situation: A new firmware is released, nobody uploaded the deodexed apps but you want them. So you need:
Step one, Download:
xUltimate
Magic ISO Maker
The Firmware you want to deodex from here
You can find more Information about xUltimate and his author at
http://www.xeudoxus.com/android/xUltimate-v2.3.3.zip
I´m using latest Gingerbread 2.3.5 Stock Firmware KNP in this tutorial, but you can use any other one you want.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step two, extract all files you need
Extract the xxxKP*.zip or .rar (PW: samfirmware.com)
If this file is a one-package you will only finde one file there (like I9003SERKPN_HOME.tar.md5). In this case, extract this one with 7zip or Winrar - else skip this step
You should now have files like "boot.bin", "chache.rfs", "normalboot.img"... in your folder
Now Extrace xUltimate.zip
Open Magic ISO Maker
(When you run it, you will be asked if you want to buy full program-version, press "Try it"
It should now look like this:
Now klick on "File"->"Open"-> Select all files -> Double click on the system.rfs in your Firmware Folder
All this files and folders you now see are later on your device under /system
Remember your xUltimate folder. Drag and drop all files in the opened Magic ISO Maker from /system/app to xUltimate folder origi_app
Drag and drop all files in the opened Magic ISO Maker from /system/framework to xUltimate filder origi_frame
Close Magic ISO Maker
Go on with the second post...

Run Main Skip.bat
Type "4" and press enter
All your Framework apps will be now deodexed
Run Script again and type "3" and press enter
All System apps will now be deodexed
All the deodexed Apps are now located in the folders done_app and done_frame. Finished! If you don´t now how to push the files to your system i can create a tutorial for this in third post. If something goes wrong post in this thread and i will help you

Resereved for future use

I know deodexing but really thanx for telling to us how to extract system.rfs file. It will help me alot.

I have create a file To restore with nandrod, but in cwm dont see... i can't install this... why??

your third post is wanted

This method didn't work for me magic iso fail to open system.rfs file saying it's not a image file
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk

Start MagicISO
File
Open
In the File select window,
select all files and then find system.rfs
it will load the data.

Thank you the guide is very neatly explained just add what Ganesh said in first post (deleting odex files)

And when i did, i got to extract it in "ext4" format instead of what other tutorials showed me as "yaffs2" format.. Well, i googled about how to extract ext4 format files and found your tutorial.. I happened to find only app and bin folders as in the SS i have given you and even when i try to extract those folders i am unable to.. I see the error i have given you in 2nd SS..

i get unknown file formay when i try to open a system.img file. or pretty much any file .it seems

I downloaded the ext4 unapcker v. 16.10.2013 (R2) archive.
The file inside are quite old (April and August 2013) and didn't include latest changes (italian translation and tips for translation).
Please update the files in the distriibution archive.
Could add simple text file for documentation
*** README.TXT
- Info about command line parameters
- How to change GUi language
- How to create a new language
*** CHANGELOG.TXT
- Small info about changelog in different releases
If I can help you I can post a sample for two files.

Hi.
There some serious bugs in this util.
1. Didn't extract all files (compared with other similar utils)
I checked that utils didn't extract all files (compared with other utils).
I made a comparison between the file/folders extracted from saprse file iamge (ex. Android systm.img of some smartphones) by this util and Total commander Diskinternal Total Commander Plugin)
EXT4 unapcker extract a lot of file less than Total Comamnder with DiskInternal plugin (about 300 Mb elss).
2. File extracted dind't maintain original date/time
Opening a system.img file and extracting the files inside, the extracted files/folders have today date/time instead original date/time.
Please mantain original date/time for the file extracted.
3. Comamnd line use - it crashed
Using command line for EXT4 unpacker it crashed
The error is
Extracting \system\xbin\Base64
Exception EListError in module ext4_unpacker.exe at 00019E8A
List index out of bounds (0).

Is it a really living project?
No one answer.
The autho din't reply since first day of novembrer.
There are some critical issues.
The file into sourceforge repository are wrong.
Very interesting project but (probably) dead.

The idea is good, but..
From time to time i need to unpack system images for android. It happens. the latest models have HUGE images ~2Gb+
But unfortunately, the program designed to load data to RAM, wich makes problems for 32 bit applications to work with huge images.
Actully, EXT4 partitions may be unpacked in many ways (WinHex can do it easy), but we have here some-kind of compressed images wich have to be uncompressed before we can read it with any 3rd party tool.
According to the SF sources i made a small tool for this purpose.May be it will help to someone

@darkmen
jb.ext4 comamnd
Could you customize the app with more option like
/nodetail to avoid showing the progress
add an option to specify the output file name, ex
jb.ext4 system.img newsystem.img
Should be possible to make a similar command to extract all ffles/folder by system.img?
Or should be possible to use unyaffs command?
Thanks.

I believe that we can close this thread!
The program was very interesting but had some bug and from November the author didn't replay on Sourceforge.
Thanks.
