Hope posting this here is OK- I never get answers in Q&A...
I have made & modified themes for the SE stock 'rom' and as you know the framework-res and system apks do not need to be recompiled or signed when just exchanging images.
Is it the same for CM 6 'roms'?
I am looking into theming Wolfbreak's rom and noticed the framework-res that I'm using as a base says "signed by SignApk" when I open it in winrar.
Do I need to recompile & sign or not?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You dont need to sign regardless of OS if you are only swapping images for system files. But remember to use optimized pngs and zipalign as final step to minimize resources consumption.
If you are modding any resources.arsc you need to decompile to do that and recompile and sing accordingly.
Ok, thanks- just making sure... the winrar message threw me off...

You don't need to sign systemui.apk because it is a activity automatically started by your device... Just push it to your device.... Any errors just reply!
And here are some cool editing tutorials:

well actually there can be a number of ways for this to happen...being a rom chef i have myself encountered these problems while rom development
the major cause is the SIGNATURE CHECK.every app and dex file is signed with a key if an app is different from the rest of the apps by signature the the syatem fails to execute or install it this ends with the no statusbar error
as for build number sonty hasnt modeified the systemui in current updates so i dont think that build is any problem
tnx for reply

tnx bro, this is what happen, i've choose one systemui thats works perfectly with them and start to modify that systemui, some of them can use that modified ui some cannot , as you said maybe the signature check is the one reason so we can fix this if i will used the androidmanifest and meta-inf of that unmodified systemui to my modified systemui?again thanks for your response bro.

use
gingerbread/ics/jb 1.5.2
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
jb/kitkat/lolipop apktool rc3
https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads
use correct framework-res
plus any other framework eg tw-framework
Use Advanced APK Tools for decompiling the APK files and you can also use the Attached Dex Editor to edit classes.dex files.....
Advanced APK tools is specially made for Xperia devicex. (use your "framework-res.apk" to install firmware in Advanced APK Tools)
(Drag and drop classes.dex in "Quick-Baksmali.cmd" to decompile and drag and drop the output folder is "Quick-Smali.cmd" to recompile.

Hey guys,
so I tried to modify the SystemUI.apk to get a stock Nougat feeling but it does not work for me.
I used APKTOOL (java -jar apktool.jar d SystemUI.apk for decompiling and b SystemUI/ for compiling).
But when I flashed it, there is no Statusbar anymore, the SystemUI.apk is broken. I only changed a few colors in res/values/colors.xml.
Don't know what I did wrong.
Maybe someone can give me a simple Guide to make it.
Thank you!

Well, I'm not an expert, and the last time I modified a SystemUI was on a Sony device, months ago, so it might be different for Samsung/new devices, I don't know, really.
But if I remember correctly you need the framework-res apk too, somewhere from the /system/framework.
Here is a thread that might help.
Also, you need to set the right permission for system apps.
Best regards.
