Since it is png you no need to decompile or recompile just use 7 zip or winrar and replace it. Make sure that the png you are replacing have same resolution and name

Use winrar and take out the file you want, edit it and drop it back in the same place you got it, when it promotes you,replace it

winrar or 7zip?? , what are in drawable ldpi actually? it's the actual file or new??

Use Winrar or 7zip it doesn't matters.
Ldpi folder contains image for low device resolution.
If you replaced nothing in this folder then it's the actual file but you should replace your image in the correct folder according to your screen resolution.

[Q] framework-res.apk problem

In "framework-res.apk/res/layout" when I edit the "status_bar_expanded.xml",
even if I add one dot and delete it again and save the file, it doesn't work
anymore and it stucks on my bootanimation, and loops over and over.
I use "apk manager" for decompiling and compiling the framework-res.apk.
Does any one know what the problem is?
Thank you?

i know it's obviously to the code. upload your .xml let me take a look.
also ensure that the /(yourdirectory)/apktool/framework/1.apk where 1.apk is your original framework-res.apk and /(yourdirectory)/apktool/framework/2.apk where 2.apk is your original tw-framework-res.apk

Hey
Do any know what @id/plmnLabel and @id/spnLabel refers to? Im speculating it has something to do with service provider.. Since the theme of framework is set to Black, the service provider text color is black as well, so ive made edits to
...Color=?textColorSecondary on both (removed Inverse) ive not tested this, maybe u have Kay?

Here is my "status_bar_expanded.xml"
I just want to change some colors. I did the same thing for other xmls like
"status_bar_latest_event_content.xml" and it works perfectly, but for that
one, it stucks on my bootanimation. when I compile the xml I get no error
but I don't know what the problem is.
For that 1.apk and 2.apk, no I didn't do that.
I'll try it and report back.

Honestly, I don't know what those "manifest" and "metainf" are, because I changed some xmls and I'd had no problem with them, So I thought that's the way to compile and decompile framework-res.apk.
Could you plz tell me what should I do? Thanks.

I thought u already have this covered because it sounded like you have no problem with other XML except this.
But if u have not heard of the two files/folder I have hightlighted chances are you don't have them in your newly compiled apk which will cause bootloop.
After compiling ur apk you should see that meta-inf folder is missing. U need to copy that from the original API, along with manifest.XML to the new apk.

Neither help, sorry. UOT can't change font colors in the menu and that cm7 thing is for images, again not for font colors in the menu.

Says something about 'declared here is not defined' at the end of every line
Whatever's happening I'm getting errors on everything no matter what I try and I'm following the instructions.
Try compiling it ignoring the error messages then from the compiled apk, extract the files you modified including png and xml files, then from the original apk open it with winrar and paste the files you extracted previously.

Thing is its not compiling any apk.
Which tool are you currently using for compiling/decompiling?
Try extracting framework again, follow this
Yeah that is what I'm using.

View attachment framework-res.rar
remember:
-do what you wanna do, i'm not responsible for anything happen because of this file.

Can you post the edited file (Source)
because i have already edited the framework file so i cant replace it
i just pull framework-res.apk and extract it,
edit bool.xml in framework-res\res\values\bool.xml
and change value config_animateScreenLights to false
and compile again
that's it bro

if you are using XXKP9, then just use my file, i've do it for you bro

you are using apk manager aren't you?
when extracting done, in your apk manager folder, you will find a folder named projects. in this projects folder you will find framework-res\res\values\bool.xml

yes i noticed that too
don't know why because i only edit one file
maybe apk manager (which compiling files into .apk) is the cause.

If this can be ported for the XXKB3, You sir are my hero. I want this so damned bad! GB is so dry! No themes makes it horrible to use :\ I hope in the future devs that Samsung will add the option to apply your own themes flawlessly and an option to select specific features. [CRT, Overglow]

Some said, this effect is hardcoded into the gingerbread itself.I don't think it will be easy to port Electron Beam Effect(this is how it named by android).

[Q] Theming help

Ok so I just have a quick question about theming. How do I change the text color on the lockscreen? I'm pretty sure I have to edit one of the .xml files, but which one and how? And do I have to actually decompile the .apk to edit it or can I just pull it using 7zip and edit it that way? I already have edited the actual .pngs for the lockscreen, so if anyone can help me out with this it would be great. Oh and this is with the stock deodexed rom.
I'm not sure where its located but it will be an xml file and you will need to decompile wherever it lays. Try androidpolicy.jar and look in there..

So it's not actually in the lockscreen .apk? I will look in the androidpolicy.jar. Also how would I go about decompiling it?

i wanna give my own name to the wallpaper and also wanna make the app drawer transparent
there is no xml that defines it..the default_wallpaper.jpg gets picked automatically
just rename your wallpaper as default_wallpaper you wont need to edit XML then.
in cm7 , the default wallpaper is in drawable folder
