Hey guys, I wanted to ask that to edit Rosie.apk for HTC Sense, what apks do we have to install on the PC? Only framework-res or com.htc.resources or any other? Also to port sense 2 dock, what changes would have to be made to sense 3.5 Rosie?
EDIT: I tried decompiling Rosie.apk after installing framework-res.apk but I can't see the option to edit icons.

If you are just using images I would say metamorph is the only option I know of that can replace files in .apk on the fly. Its not a flashable zip though.
Give this a try... this will port png's from one rom to another. you just need to pull the framwork-res.apk and resources.apk from framework from your rom and put it in the "new" folder. and put the same apk's from the theme you want to port in the "old" folder, both under the framework folder with in the "new" and "old" folders. and run the script.... there are also app folders for any themed apps that you want to port also.... same thing with those, yours in the new and the themed ones to port in the old.... Just remember, these are only png ports, you still need to do xml edits if there are any...
this is not my work, found it here on xda a very long time ago and don't remember from who but thanx to him or them......

Hope posting this here is OK- I never get answers in Q&A...
I have made & modified themes for the SE stock 'rom' and as you know the framework-res and system apks do not need to be recompiled or signed when just exchanging images.
Is it the same for CM 6 'roms'?
I am looking into theming Wolfbreak's rom and noticed the framework-res that I'm using as a base says "signed by SignApk" when I open it in winrar.
Do I need to recompile & sign or not?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You dont need to sign regardless of OS if you are only swapping images for system files. But remember to use optimized pngs and zipalign as final step to minimize resources consumption.
If you are modding any resources.arsc you need to decompile to do that and recompile and sing accordingly.
Ok, thanks- just making sure... the winrar message threw me off...

It may depend on your ROM...but on the stock xHausx 4.24.651 the files are in the com.htc.resources.apk drawable-port-hdpi folder.
Did anyone manage to know which file to modify in order to change the dockbar in Sense 3.6 ROMs? Please help if you find anything...

For the moment it is not possible to change or skin the Navbar/Dock. You can skin it but Sense took always the one from the Default skin which is not skinable.
But we work.

Could you provide me a valid link for the m10 editor? Those on original thread are dead.

I will have a look!
I think it is possible... You'll have to search for the .png inside one of the m10 files of rosie.apk....

Nope! The new Rosie M1o files not skinnable! Because they have the new format with image type 14 to.

in fact PNG in rosie shows up, you can modify them, but when you push or flash it takes the default shared M10 in fusion.apk , i've spend hours to try to change things with no success...
will try again ...
As some of you know, I am making a Sense 5 look for Sense 4.x devices. Now, I am working on the skin part. The only problem now is that I need a base for the skin.
This is what I need:
A default HTC skin made for qHD screens
I understand that most resources are in the framework, and this would need a lot of time to compile, considering the need to 9patch too. I do not have the time, so I was wondering if anyone has done this before or has the time to do this and is willing to share so some people can benefit from it
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me.

Take out com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ (ViperS 1.6.3)
Take out matte.apk from /system/app/
Extract all 3 apks into 3 different folders
in folder drawable-hdpi of both framework apks, try to match their PNGs with the ones in drawable-hdpi of the extracted matte.apk(you may have to rename some of them) (PNGs that do not exist in matte.apk does NOT need to be copied)
After copying all is done, 9 patch all the PNGs appropriately.
When everything has been completed, send me a zip of the PNGs.
Thanks if you can do that. I will put a special thank for you in my thread.
And if anyone has an easier way, please inform me.
