Hello all, I'm new to XDA Developers (in fact I registered 5 minutes from creating this thread) so I'm not really sure if this is the right section. I have an HTC Evo 4G with Warm Twopointtwo as the ROM (cyanogen was buggy). I have recently decide to build my own ROM accustom to me. When using kitchen UOT, it prompted me for 3 files, one of which was SystemUI.apk. The file is not in /system/app. I scanned the development folder I made but no SystemUI.apk was found. I searched the phone with a root explorer with no finds of the missing SystemUI.apk. If I must use the stock ROM to get my SystemUI.apk, where would I get the stock ROM? Thanks.
The SystemUI, is located in these two folders. (IT DEPENDS ON THE DEVICE).
/system/app
/system/priv-app

replaced Animation files with original animation .
that all about my question i hope it clear & i wish to get help as soon as possible

thanks mr.PsHegger
i posted new thread because i want to get sure answer, i have tried to figure it out EXPERIENTIALLY in SDK but i didn't get any result
i hope anyone could tells us the sure answer
If you ADB push a modified APK of the same name it will "replace" it. If your only tring to replace a couple of files such as png's for theme'ing I would suggest an app like Metamorph.
Hi!
Today I've found a great guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814) on how to theme Android and so I want to start theming and then I found some themes for the Transformer. I just have a little question: where do I get the stock-Honeycomb-theme from? It should be a *.zip, but with Root Explorer I can only see framework-res.apk and lots of *.jar-files (I'm running gnufabio's Revolver-ROM).
(why should it be a *.zip-file? Stood there:https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en
3. Open the .zip and inside are typically 3 files, framework, system or app, and META-INF. Leave META-INF alone, you won’t be touching that, this area tells the phone where to install the folders. Inside framework and system/app is where the files are that you can change. In this case we will open the .zip, then double click framework and then double click framework-res.apk (this is where the next archive will open inside the same window, your life just got a little easier).

Please could anyone share the stock-Honeycomb-theme from any stock-ROM (or any other fitting unmodified version)?
Hope that you can help me and I'd really be happy about it.
Thanks in advance,

There is no "stock theme" take the files you need from the stock rom. SystemUI, framework and resources
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
Yeah, you would have to get the stock files (framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk etc) from any stock ROM... or I would suggest getting the framework from the same version of Revolver you are on (make sure you get the modded version of the framework which can be downloaded from Revolver Parts). If you try to install the stock framework on Revolver it could cause problems because Gnufabio modded his framework.
What it seems like you are trying to do is look on your tablet for a theme.zip... you won't find one... A theme in a .zip is extracted when it is installed and the .apks (and .jars etc.) are put here and there on the system.
If you want a theme in a .zip you will have to look on the forums and find one that works for your ROM. You can then edit that theme to your liking if you have the know-how.
I don't wish to sound cruel here, but I would suggest waiting and reading up on theming and Android in general a little more first. You can cause issues (possible boot-loops/bricking) if you don't have the correct files in the correct places.
If you still wish to test out theming (and I think it is great that you have an interest) please do a backup in Clockwork first.
Thanks a lot, you are right. I'll read some threads about theming (there are some good threads here on XDA ) and then start.
Themes for the transformer are still few and far between, I don't mind really since I am pretty familiar with android from my days with my old G1.
I need to swap a custom framework-res.apk from a CWM backup with a new customized framework. I've tried doing this through ADB but it doesn't work. I want to swap the files so I can restore the backup and have the custom framework in it.
I also need to be able to do this on my phone using a file manager app and/or any other app I would need. I'm new to modifying and customizing ROMs, so if someone could explain how i could do this, that would be awesone. If it is not possible to do from my phone, an explanation of how to do it from my Windows 7 PC would be great too.
I have done some modifications similar to this before, but only had to extract and compile zip and apk files. Fron the looks of it, I would guess that framework-res is hidden in the data.ext3.tar file in my CWM backup. If so, how do I extract the files and switch out the framework-res.apk, then recompile? Is it even that simple? Is there anything I'm overlooking?
Thanks so much for any advice any of you can offer

Why not just grab your framework-res apk that you need and copy it to the sd card, then restore backup then copy new framework to proper place?
If I'm assuming you mean to just overwrite the old framework-res by pasting the new one in, I tried that with ES File Explorer and it wouldn't let me overwrite it. I also tried deleting the old one and quickly pasting the new one in, but I started getting perpetual force closes that prevented me from being able to paste the new one in.
How do you suggest doing it?
I should also point out I need to swap in a new SystemUI.apk as well as framework-res.apk to get this theme working

I use root explorer to do this which does work. Yes at time you have to be fast to get between the FC but it can be done. You could also try and grab a theme update zip and modify it to use your files instead.
Hi, I hope someone can help me with my problem:
I run an HTC Sensation, with the latest ICS leak, and have a mod I want to apply, which is an AOSP-ized Settings.apk.
The problem is that if I adb push it onto the phone (/system/app), it does not show in the main menu, like its not installed.
BUT if I first install the stock Settings.apk, boot the phone, reboot into CWM and then flash the modded Settings.apk, it works just fine...
Does the stock Settings.apk alter anything that the second one needs?
I am attaching the modded one if anyone would be willing to help me find the problem...
Thanks!
Kristof
I've got a similar issue.
I wish to install an AOSP settings.apk & settingsUI.apk but I can't find the directory to paste them in. I then made a folder and placed them in there and installed them via ES File Explorer and the changes weren't applied.
Does anyone have a standaole Cyanogenmod Messaging apk I can push to /system/app or install on another ROM? I looked in the latest nightly zip, and did not find an Mms.apk. I also flashed the ROM just to make sure it was there, and yes it was. I also looked inside the /system/app folder on my phone after it installed, and I did not see an Mms.apk. Where is it stored?
Found it!
It's located in system/priv-app. No idea when/why it moved there. Also, if you flash the Paranoid Android GAPPS package (first one with everything), it automatically removes the AOSP/CM Mms.apk included. Hope this helps! Going to write a small tutorial as to how to avoid this problem in the future.
