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.

[Guide] Android Theming and Porting UI apps

[Guide] Porting UI Apks
This is a small tutorial showing about porting UI Apps (Theming)
Necessary tools
-Apktool
-Copy-Paste Knowledge
-Root Explorer
-A little respect
Its very easy no need of development skills...
So lets start
Porting SystemUI.apk
Of a rom to another..
At first decompile ur Stock Systemui.apk and custom Systemui.apk which u wanna port.
Now find the folder in custom SystemUI.apk name "res" then open it and search for "drawable-hdpi" open it and you will see a lot of png image replace all them to your stock systemui.apk! If you find any xml file then don't copy them. Then recompile the modded stock SystemUI.apk and replace with original one by root explorer..
Porting framework-res.apk
Your device must be of the same resolution with the custom framework-res device (ex: qhd>qhd) .... If not then u may face dpi bugs.
decompile both stock and custom framework-res.apk.. Same as before find "res" open and find "drawable-hdpi" copy all the png to ur stock framework.. don't copy any xmls.. and recompile the modded stock framework-res.apk and replace with ur original by root explorer..
