[Q] Framework-res.apk

I'm somewhat new to hacking and modding. And I'm reading a lot, as well as playing with my phone a lot. I happened to extract the framework-res file to my sd card.
What are all the things I could customize with playing with that file?

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.

So is that how themeing works?

I saw you, I just haven't time to write. Look for a tutorial about pulling and also APK Manager for decompiling. You will need adb

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

You could upload the file you extracted to the uot kitchen (google it, i cannot provide links).
The site allows to create a theme for your phone and to package it in a flashable .zip

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

Well, I took a snapshot of my homescreen. Uploaded it to a color extractor, and pulled the hex value through there. Used that hex value with UOT kitchen, and the colors still weren't the same after I flashed it...

It all depends what you're actually trying to do?
Just change a color? Change the pull down background? Add quickpanel toggles?

I flashed my phone back to stock rom and I just wanted the taskbar to look like the octane rom that I was running on before.

You can try pulling the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from octane and replacing them in the appropriate spots in your current ROM as long as the rom you are on is deodexed. But it may,not work. Or, you can replace the .png files using 7zip and then replace those files with your new themed ones (less chance of fc or bootloop). But the second method is a bit more detailed.

[Q] ICS battery mod, how can I do this?

what are the files needed to be edited in order to make a circle battery mod?

Do you want to MAKE one from scratch or just install one? Which ROM are you running?

Id love to know how to do this as well. For me Id like to just modify an existing customized Rom files.
I actually tried this after hours of searching. And most seem to only talk abou modifying the SystemUI.apk by adding the 204 PNGs for the battery mode (for 1% accuracy) and also add the two modified battery XMLs. I recompiled the SystemUI.apk, injected it on the phone, set the right permissions and rebooted. I saw the battery icon change. But then 10mins later it was showing the stock battery icon again, then 10mins later I noticed it was showing the modified one again.
Im wondering why do folks mention only needing to change the SystemUI.apk when if you open the Framework-res.apk you will also see the same Battery PNGs and also see the same battery XMLs (but cannot read those in clear text).
Dont we have to modify both the Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk? I think the answer is yes since the UOT Kitchen makes you upload both and sends you back both modified.
Im not too familiar with how to do the framework-res.apk. Btw Im using MHX's Superlite 5.0 ROM which I believe he modified one of those files to remove the carrier text from the status bar.
Dixit

I used UOT Kitchen to change mine. All you do is pick the battery icon you want then upload your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and wait for it to make it then download it to your sdcard. Then flash it in CWM.

Yea that worked fine when I was on Gingerbread even on NexusMod ROM. Thats what I did before.
Now on ICS (Superlite 5.1 ROM), I did the same thing, took the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk from superlite's rom file, uploaded them to UOT and did the battery mod, everytime it builds it, I get a SHTF error.
So then I tried to upload the stock leaked ICS systemui.apk and framework-res.apk (not modified by any ROM), and still same issue, get a SHTF error.
It dont seem to like the ICS based files Im giving it.

Yeap saw that, Thanks again. Id love to see what you did in this that maybe I didnt do right in my own attempt. I added the 204 PNGs and then added these premade stat battery xml files I saw in the Galaxy S2 forum. I looked at yours (the stat battery xmls) but couldnt see them in clear text, they seem to be compiled so cant truly see whats in it.

Thanks again. This will help me in seeing where I went wrong on my initial attempt.

Took a look finally. My stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml are identical to the ones you had in your mod. So that was done right. Any other files you modified (XML wise)?
Im still curious on why I see the same two XMLs in the Framework-res.apk and the same battery icons but modifications are not needed there. Almost seems like both are needed to be done.

I didn't mod anything besides systemui. Didn't even touch any other file. I only added the icons and edited the 2 xml's.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

Good to know, I wonder if maybe the proper method is to also replicate these same changes in the framework-res.apk since I did a test and noticed UOT Kitchen modifies both and I see the same two XMLs appear identically betweenthe SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. As as well as the same icon set in both.

From what I understand it doesn't work with the kitchen for ics
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

Right I got a feeling it dont work with ICS (the UOT Kitchen). But like I said on GB it modified both framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and basically put the same changes in both. So there must be a reason it does that. That might be the reason why for brief moments I saw the standard battery icon and then sometimes the circle mod battery I put in there.

[Q] How can I install a new battery icon?

Here's the problem
I was using a ROM that had a battery I didn't like so I installed a different one using the ROM ToolBox app and now I have a combination of two icons.
I'm looking for the blue ICS battery, the percentage would be nice, and how to apply it to my status bar.

i used rom toolbox pro from the market lets you in change the status bar icons i use circle green for mine
this one is the one you need from it because you need to replace every battery icon png file if not you will have a mix
if not you can decompile the framework.res apk replace the png files witb the mod/pics you want then recompile the apk and flash
i dont have any links ob me to show you how decompile/recompile but you can find them in xda look for apk ics decompile and apk tool
