I edited the settings.apk in my ROM and then recomiled and signed it and installed the ROM again with my new settings.apk..But,the settings.apk was not installed ,therefore it may have some error...So,now i want to copy the original settings.apk from my stock rom to the custom built ROM..So,now i want to know..I have also edited build.prop in the custom built ROM ?Now,Will stock ROM's settings.apk install correctly with all the custom built files ,or each settings.apk requires some other files also to be included in the ROM for them to be installed?
No build.prop edits won't affect your settings.apk installation. Also you shouldn't sign nodded system apks

i'm changed some files of the framework-res.apk and rebuild it(use apktool ) ,not sign it but zip of this file ,it wolud be work well .but when i'm copy the chended of the framework-res.apk recover the same file in the 1108031959 cm7 nightly updata file,i ;have a boot loop.what's the matter with my update file，and it seems the framework-res.apk bring about this issue .some who know this ？？？？and how to Modify frankwork-res.apk
when you modded framework from any gb rom, you have to modded the systemUI too!
exactly what you have to modify i dont know, but surely if you use uot-dakra understanding that i explained to you!
UOT Kitchen states "you can now use kitchen with stock odexed roms (if you have .odex files in your rom - kitchen works for you too)". I'm running the stock OTA 2.3.6 ROM (odexed), rooted, with 3e Recovery on my SR. Trying to create a very simple battery icon and status bar mod using the Kitchen. Instructions say to upload your ROM's "framework-res.apk" and "systemUI.apk" files along with your theme changes... and Kitchen creates a cooked-up zip file you can flash. But have a few questions:
1) since it says it now supports odexed ROMs, do I also need to upload the "systemUI.odex" file along with "systemUI.apk" and "framework-res.apk files?
2) does the cooked up zip file contain "framework-res.apk", "systemUI.apk" and "systemUI.odex" files... or just the 2 apk files?
3) if only the apks, do I leave my original "systemUI.odex in /data/app folder... or move/delete it?
4) without CWM, can I extract the needed apks from the zip file created by the Kitchen and use Root Explorer to fix permissions and place files in their appropriate folders?
I posted these questions on the UOT Kitchen site, but they must be backed up as have not received any reply... hoping someone here on the SR Forum may have some experience with the UOT Kitchen and using odexed ROMs. Thx!
1. You need SystemUI.apk from /system/app, framework-res.apk from /system/framework, and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework
2.it will contain updates to framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemui.apk and might add to the system/media or any other area you elect to modify
3. dont touch the odex files. they will be needed as is.
4. maybe, maybe not. I always use CWM to install. Sorry.
Hi!
I want to mod my SystemUI.apk!! Other Bat-Icon, other Softkeys and so...
I can decombile .... then i can mod the SystemUI.apk and i combile without any Error Message in the APK Manager (5_0)
Then i pull the SystemUI to my tablet and give the right permission

Then i Reboot the device.... i see the changes (other bat-icons) but then the System stopps the UI and the Navibar is gone... then she comes again and the System stop it again
The ROM is odex .... is this the reason?
So far I have modified only deodexed ROMs... This is my first odexed ROM....

Bingo!
Roms need to be deodexed to theme them in that way.

Instead of using APK Manager, you can treat SystemUI.apk as a zip archive, extract it on your device, make your changes, re-zip it, change the zip extension to apk, replace your SystemUI.apk with the modded one, and reboot. Don't touch the SystemUI.odex file at all. Leave it. And if anything goes wrong, push your old SystemUI.apk back to the device. This method works (sometimes) on odexed ROMs. Because SystemUI.apk is a system app, it doesn't need to be re-signed or anything; just zipped.

I have a question...
Can i delete odex files manually in /system/app and /system/framework without consequencies ?
Enzo.
No you can't, they form part of the app. You'd have to deodex the ROM or replace the apps with their deodexed versions to remove the odex files without issues
Thanks !
Deodexed rom stock founded, i replace the odex files by the deodex versions.
I've extracted the framework-res.apk from a rom to change some images. Is it safe just to copy the new apk to system\framework, change permission and reboot?
