First copying framevork apk to app folder does nothing, second just adding new graphics to apk without modding xml files does nothing.
I suppose that you have already modded framework (first Chinese rooted ROM had this modd in framework-res.apk) and replaced those .pngs and there is no need to rename and compress just drag and drop using winrar. Of course you could not have any effect if you did not copied this apk to your root/system/framework folder.
There is also charging graphics, after all without modding xml files you can only see few graphics (battery level 0, 10, 20, 40...). And dangerous thing is replacing framework apk with another from other ROM version will end up with "bootloop"...

and if i hav a cwm backup i can restore it.....so wat
is a problm it trying...?
Today I will show you how to make a flashable .zip file to use with any CWM based recovery.
Thanks - pankaj88
REQUIREMENTS:
- Any file that you want to replace or add to your phone;
- An existing (base) cwm flashable zip file. - I've attached one below;
- 7-zip, Winrar or any program which can open and modify zip files .
STEPS:
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:
(1) Download and place the sample.zip (attached below) anywhere on your desktop;
(2) Right-click on it and open the archive with 7zip, winrar ... [DO NOT extract]
Now you should see two folders: one called "system" and one called "META-INF".
1. Let's start with the "system" one, so open it:
In there, will go all files that what you want to add or replace to the system. So let's say for example that you want to replace the bootanimation and bootsound. To do so, we have to create sub-directories in the /system/ folder by following this easy method:
- On your desktop, right-click on an empty spot and select "New / Folder" then edit the name to "etc" (remove " ") using no CAPS or space at the end;
- repeat the process to make another folder called "media";
- drag those two new empty folders into the /system/ folder of the 7-zip opened archive [just click yes on the popup dialogs];
- now simply drop the two files in their respective place: the sanim.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder and the PowerOn.wav into '/system/etc' folder.
.. If you have more files to add, just follow the logic above; I'm sure you get the idea by now..
Hints
/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)
/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, android.policy.jar
/system/etc - vold.fstab, PowerOn.wav(bootsound)
/system/media - sanim.zip (bootanimation) (only for custom ROMs)
/system/lib - libraries (*.so)
2. The other folder included in the opened archive is named "META-INF" and all the file in it should be left unchanged.
That's it !!
Press thanks it that helped u

Moving thread
I agree this is different enough to remain open in the General forum. Moving thread out of the Dev forum. The reason Notepad++ is recommended is that Notepad or Wordpad in Windows will strip off the Unix formatting. There are other editors besides Notepad++ that will work as well, check around if you like.
Thank you,

Stock Flashable Recovery
Hi there I need to create a flashable recovery zip to flash in TWRP. I have all files ready and waiting, I just need to know where to put the recovery.img within the zip.
Thanks in advance.
First of all, what is "zombie art"..??
>>> It is that image that is displayed by your phone when you tap the android version in Settings/About phone
This guide is meant for all Cyanogenmod roms ie. CM7,CM9,CM10,CM10.
What you need..??
1>> your zipped custom rom
2>> WinRAR (for zipping and unzipping roms)
3>> some degree of carefulness.
4>> Working Brain.
First of all please take a nandroid backup of your current rom incase anything goes wrong. I m nt responsible for it.
Steps:
1) unzip your rom into a folder. Name it anything that you like.
2) navigate to system/framework/ and copy the framework-res.apk file to another folder.
3) change the extension from .apk to .zip
4) extract this framework-res.zip file into a folder.
5) inside the extracted folder, navigate to res/drawable-nodpi
6) inside this folder you will find many files. but here we will only deal with platlogo.png
7) Replace this .png file with the one you like but be sure that its name remains "platlogo.png". you can find the .png files for ics and jellybean
in the attachments.
8) Now zip the files (the framework-res.zip) but with the changes made and name it the same ie "framework-res.zip".
9) change the extension of this zipped file to .apk
10) place it back in the system/framework/ directory .
11) zip the rom folders using WinRAR.
12) when you flash this zip file which that was edited this way, you will have the desired image when you tap on Android version in
Settings>About phone
13)please note that you can replace the original platlogo.png with any image file: provided you rename your desired file as platlogo.png.
If you have a .jpeg image, the edit it using Paint or any image editor and save the file as .png one.

[THEMING -Basic] - How to EDIT
SystemUI.apk/Apps Background
Hi there! Just wanna share..
Just a basic background on how to theme your
ROMS. - ofcourse, give thanks to the
developer of your ROMs! .
I made this thread for those users who have
personal wishes for their Phones. Ofcourse, ROM
developers cannot please all of its users. so
just make your own and be happy!.
I just made it easy for easy understanding and
for the newbies.
Tried so many times and tested
I've already tried editing the systemUI.apk of
different ROMs.
Here's what I did :
FIRST : Download 7zip to open the archived
apk. - that's free.
Extracting first the Zip File..
(make sure you copy the original before
extracting it for back up)
1. Download the ROM.zip and extract it to your
PC.
2. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res
\drawable-ldpi\
3. View the PNG files you wanted to change and
make sure to remember its' file name.
4. After editing/changing the file/image you
wanted, you can save it anywhere from your PC,
let's say on your Desktop.
- Make sure that the file name still remains as
is..
*After you're done editing, updating the
PNG files you wish to change, follow this
steps to update the zip file :
NOTE : You can apply transparency by editing
the PNG file to photoshop by reducing the
opacity of the image
1. Go to the original ZIP file of ROM.Zip from
your PC
2. Right Click the folder and select 7 ZIP -->>
open archive
3. Close all of windows/Browers (or minimize)
4. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res
\drawable-ldpi\ and it will open a new window of
7zip showing the files inside the zip.
5. Now, given your edited PNG files or
downloaded png files (assuming that files are
located in your desktop). - Click and simply
DRAG the file(s) from your desktop to \system
\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ .
6. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will
replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to
change.
7. Make sure that the file name of the one you
edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
8. After dragging and replacing the files you
wanted, then you're good to go!
9. Close the 7zip window and that's it!.
You can now install the .zip by copying the
UPDATED zip file to your SD Card.
(Note: Make sure to copy the updated one, not
the backed up one)
Install the zip file from the original thread's
instructions and reboot twice.
After that, you have now a customized
systemUI.apk.
For those who do not want to reinstall
the whole package.. follow these steps:
1. I assumed that you have the zip file of your
ROM.
2. Extract it and go to \system\app\
3. Separate the SystemUi.apk - put it on your
desktop. create a back up,
Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->>
extract here - just to view the files you wanted to
change.
Just go the folder and search for the PNG files.
4. Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP --
>> open archive.
5. Go to \res\drawable-ldpi\
6. Click and simply DRAG the PNG file(s) from
your desktop to \res\drawable-ldpi\
7. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will
replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to
change.
8. Make sure that the file name of the one you
edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
9. After dragging and replacing the files you
wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :
1. Download and install rootexplorer.apk
2. Download the png files you wanted to update.
3. Copy and paste the NEW SystemUi.apk that
you have updated/Edited to your SD card.
4. Open root explorer in your galaxy y then go
and tap MOUNT R/W.
5. Go to \SDCard and go to new SystemUI.apk
that you have updated.
6. Long press the file and select copy
7. Press back and go to \system\app - tap
MOUNT R/W at the top.
8. Paste the new SystemUI.apk from there.
(Note : You will encounter a lot of force closes
for the exixsting systemui is currently being used
by your phone. - just ignore it a lot and scroll
down to look for the new SystemUI.apk.
9. Once you get there, long press on it and select
permissions:
from the pop up, make the checked one like
this :
•___•____ •
•___ .____.
•___ .____.
where Dots are the checked one - Bigger dots
After encountering a lot of force closes, then
reboot the phone and that's it!
(Force Closes are normal, DON't PANIC -
logically, you are currently using your
systemUI.apk so just ignore it
NOTE : You can also apply the same steps in
editing system files apps, just edit the .png files
and locate it using 7zip(when you already opened
it). Have a little LOGIC on how to edit system
app background - same process. just different
apk files and directory
