what is framework-res.apk

hello,
i am starting to make themes but can anyone tell what is actually framework-res.apk and work of it is it neccesary to change it
??
thanks
framework = framework
res = resource
forum search is your friend.
An apk is just a container, compressed. You can change the apk to zip, and open the file. The framework-res.apk file contains many of the icon files needed for themes. Depending on the android version, and skin version there are more files you need to alter to complete a theme. For example on a gingerbread TouchWiz device you also need to change icons in twframework-res.apk and systemui.apk to finish the theme.

use
gingerbread/ics/jb 1.5.2
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
jb/kitkat/lolipop apktool rc3
https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads
use correct framework-res
plus any other framework eg tw-framework
Use Advanced APK Tools for decompiling the APK files and you can also use the Attached Dex Editor to edit classes.dex files.....
Advanced APK tools is specially made for Xperia devicex. (use your "framework-res.apk" to install firmware in Advanced APK Tools)
(Drag and drop classes.dex in "Quick-Baksmali.cmd" to decompile and drag and drop the output folder is "Quick-Smali.cmd" to recompile.
