[Q] Messed up framework, how can i fixed it?

I've been trying to change to gingerbread theme for mini pro, did something wrong though and not all elements were functioning properly so I tried to restore the original framework, copied the original, previously copied framework.res and pasted it into /system/framework folder. The phone turned off and all i got now is sony ericsson loading text when trying to turn it on again. I'm completely new with android so please help. How can i put it into recovery mode to install firmware from the beginning or make it work any other way?

[Q] Need help themeing.......

This is my first attempt to theme my pico...
I have decompiled the systemui.apk of jaggy rom
replaced some status bar icons with the ones i wanted
and then recompiled it....
(I used apktool for these operations and offcourse after installing the necessary framework)
no errors till now...
but when i replace the old systemui.apk with the new one ..... the task bar just dissappeared
tried booting into recovery and fix permissions still no luck...
then i signed the apk(didn't sign earlier as i read signing was not necessary for system apk) and tried again still no luck....
but when the old apk was restored and the phone reboote and permissions fixed the status bar was restored (i mean the old state)
all i did was replace some status bar icons but when rebuilt the apk was about 300kb smaller
did this just to get the hang of themeing.....
i have attached the original and modified systemui.apk
can anyone enlighten me what went wrong...
is it the way i replaced the icons or the way i compiled and recompiled the apks....
....thank you in advance

Tried pushing using adb....
no luck

Thanx people I managed to do it without decompiling
Opened the apk using 7 zip and then replacing the necessary files.....
And it worked...
I guess this method is easier as it doesn't require much knowledge ..

[Q] The resources.arsc of framework-res is not recompiling with APK Multitool

Hi there
I am facing a strange problem. I am decompiling resources.arsc using APK Multitool (from official site) with no problems. I then change a few colors in res\values\colors.xml. Then I recompile and delete the resources.arsc from the keep folder as instructed. The apk colpiles ok but to my surprise there is no change in the colors. I decompile it again only to find that the changes i made have been reverted.
Amusingly enough I tried APK Multitool Stable Release from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341351 And it recompiles fine and even the resources.arsc is changes (via time stamp and size) but the framework-res when pushed through adb causes bootloop.
I am stuck at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am on a Micormax A52 with Gingerbread 2.3.7 (Stock).
Thank You

[Q] After editing Settings.apk its only crashing.

I have edited then I opened both the new Settings.apk and the original Settings.apk using 7zip. then just simply drag & dropped the resource file from the new one to the original. & then I replaced that original settings.apk in my phone using root explorer and modified permission to 644. The settings is there in the drawer but when I'm tapping it ,it crashing only... Even the gear icon is also not showing,....
I didnt changed anything in the Settings.apk rather than some string values in Strings.xml file.
Please help me if..

Decompiling CM12S APK Files

I am having some issues getting CM12S apk files decompiled. I am a pretty experienced when it comes to this kind of stuff but for whatever reason I cannot get it to properly function.
I decompile the Settings.apk file from CM12S and all goes well and all, but when I push it to the device it just crashes immediately and displays the generic android icon. It is not the modifications I have done because I have tested just decompiling and recompiling the apk to see if it would work and no luck :/
