Let me repeat your steps to check what happens.....wait for feedback.
Edit- okay first I moved just jobmanager.apk and then copied it back and task manager was restored without restarting phone then I moved both. apk and. odex file and then copied back, its restored back after restart. Did you moved both files and copying both back? Let me know if it still doesnt works then I will attach deodexed version of task manager for you.

That doesnt make any difference if you missed to restart first time but anyways copy the attached file to system after deleting old.apk and odex file and see if that works, backup those file.

Theming Gmail and Google voice

I've been trying to theme Google voice and Gmail. I pull the apk with adb, add a new notification icon and push it back to the phone. The app then disappears. What am I doing wrong?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Are you signing the apk?
Yeah... no. Good call.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Well, I pulled it, decompiled with apktool, added the icon, compiled it, signed it, and pushed it to my phone and it still doesn't work (google voice). Any suggestions?
Are they just PNG? If they are you can just use 7zip and just drop them in.
Sent from my slutty assistant.(HTC Incredible)
Or you can make an metamorph file.
Sent from my slutty assistant.(HTC Incredible)
That's what I had tried. I pulled the com.google.android.gm-1.apk from my phone, added the modified png, and then pushed it back. After a reboot, the app was gone.
It's pissing me off.
Same thing happened with metamorph. The icon was changed, but then when I rebooted the app was gone.

With the current gmail update they sent it to data/app and not to system/app anymore. I did what he did and my successfully was changed. I used root explorer to copy paste to my sd card then 7zip the file and copy paste back to data/app. Make sure your using 7zip.

I was using winrar... didn't know if it'd make a difference. I'm going to give it a shot, and if I'm still unsuccessful, I'll send over the pngs and the apks.

Here is my modified apk if you want to replace yours with this one. Just copy paste to data/app and it should replace it. Use root explorer. Let me know if it is successful.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13697779/com.google.android.gm-1.apk

winrar unpacks it i think. with 7zip you just
right click the zip
hover over 7zip and click on open archive
navagate to the folder with the png's you would like to swap
and drop them in.
(did not know that the moved gm. For some reason i have gmail.apk still in system/app)
looks like it was because i had a themed GM....
Actually all market GApps are in data/app I just use app monster(free on market) save the apk to SD then mount pull the apk from my phone use winrar to drop my edited images in finally use the apk manager tool too optimize, zip and sign. Then put it on your SD and install normally. If u push the market gapps to system they wont update.

Okay, it didn't work AGAIN. I copied the apk in root manager, and pasted it to my sdcard. Mounted the sdcard on the computer, opened the apk in 7zip, dropped in the png file, unmounted the sd card, copied the apk and pasted it back to data/app in root manager, rebooted and... didn't work.
Here's the files.
Am I supposed to be changing permissions or something? I don't know what I'm missing. I never had an issue with the Gmail.apk in the system folder.

[MOD][THEME] Basic Black (5.24.11)

Hey all.
I was messing around today and decided to post this. If not for the current lack of development, I probably wouldn't even post this.
Just push twframework-res.apk with adb, root explorer or root manager. be sure you overwrite the existing .apk.
The screenshot posted below was taken on the fly. you'll notice I'm using TEAM AERODKNG's Notification bar... Frankly, their theme is radness, but I thought maybe someone would want a little change!
word up, folks. happy MoDding.

Quick question, is this twframework-res supposed to replace framework-res? If not i screwed up. I havent had to restore from CWM, anyway I can get my backup restored? I copied the original to SD.

There is no framework-res.apk only twframework-res.apk.... ? What did you replace?
Cwm? u cant restore with our cwm 3 beta. Just push via adb or super manager.

LOL Corradokng hooked it up with a flashable framework-res.apk. Im back and will try this again. Im a goof ball and didnt check but since im back up i went into system/framework and see the following files, twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. I mistakenly changed the name and pasted, which softbricked.
I slapped myself in the head and tested again. Worked like a charm! I like the look, way better than before.
NOTE: Copy file to System/Framework folder
i wanna test it out. could just explain to me what you mean by push? where or oveer what do i put the .apk? thanks

go into framework folder and copy twframework-res.apk to a safe place on your sd card, in case you want to revert. With the file in the OP paste it into that directory, making sure you have w/r in root explorer or whatever you use.

try supermanager, root explorer for some reason hasnt been playing to nicely with system files and binary files.
if your follwing the process verbatim and nothing is happening try super manager or another file manager with root permissions. It should work without a hitch

Wat do u mean by u can't do a restore with cwm beta 3?.... i have had crash issues and restored my fone 4times already from recovery....... so i'm guessing ur sayin i'm lucky? i didnt know or think restore and backup was an issue on cwm_Beta3..
Are you saying you have successfully done a full restore of a full nandroid backup?? If so that would be a big deal since I think that was the last issue with the cwm beta. Drhonk was saying he got a full restore to work at least without error but it hung on reboot.

@Ricky download file to your computer hook your phone up to the computer mount phone to computer (USB mass storage) right click file go down to send to and send it to the proper mass storage for your phone I have vista so that's how it works for me that should put the file on the root of your SD card open root explorer first go into system/framework go down to the twres apk long press it and select copy you will see paste at the bottom of your screen hit the back button twice go down to SD and put the copy in any sub folder you may want I use downloads then go down to the new file on your SD card from robbitt long press it hit move go back to system/framework in the upper right hand corner you will see a r/w press that then hit paste it will say it already exists do u want overwrite click yes back out then reboot should work with no problem.I think what u did was move the orig twres file instead of copying it hope this helps you.And thanks to robbitt love this mod sometimes its just the little things

are you installing the apks? thaat probably wont work, what you would do is take the apks and move it into system/apps using a file explorer that has root access like rootexplorer paste it back into the system/app directory with all the other system apps and set the correct permissons and reboot and you should be okay

In system/app the .odex file was already there. However, i tried copying both files to the /app dir and they fail to copy. I also tried to simply install the app and it also fails. I'm puzzled.

You need root explorer (assuming the device is rooted). Do not install it, but copy it to /system/app, set permissions, restart phone. Everything until restarting is done in root explorer.
Strange thing happens. I've downloaded the files to my extsdcard, I copy them to system/app and I then browse the files to make sure they're there and only the odex file is present. I'm using Root File Manager.

I think the odex file was already there, just the apk was deleted.
Actually, I don't know what's wrong. Try a different root explorer/root file manager to MOVE these two files to the system/app directory. Also before that, you have to mount the system partition as R/W, not R/O. U can do that in adb (command "adb remount") or with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=lt (I'm sure there are other ways to do that, but I prefer these two).
I'll give it a try
