How do I go along doing that?

open up the .apk then click the res folder then find the files in one of the drawable folders

Well its to change the battery status for MLIGN's 2.5.7 cus I prefer the stock battery instead of the one included in that ROM, so you still want me to send the file?

ok, just the stock battery from a hero rom, will be back with it. i assume with hero roms you can still just flash a single .apk and it not mess the whole thing up, i really don't need to upload a hero rom.

Ohh so try and flash the frame-work res apk.? Sorry Im a bit of noob when it comes to stuff like this

i don't use hero, and therefore have no way of testing it (really don't feel like going through the hassle of setting it back up on my phone) but i imagine you can just flash a single .apk file and it will work. the file i am going to upload, you should just be able to flash it, since all it will be is the framework-res.apk file along with the necessary files to make an update.zip flash.

Are you building the google source from scratch, or modifying an existing ROM? I don't know how you're planning to make a ROM faster than IonR2, but I wish you luck.

if you are deleting what is not needed why would you ask someone elses opinion on what should be put into it. doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose.

and if u want to change color of the top bar and other buttons then u will have to edit other folders as well.

oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over

Your welcome, if you run into problems look at other custom roms to know how they set up the various maps inside the zipfile. That might help...well at least it helped me creating my rom.

Did you mean "where", right?
You can use images from themes that were published in the forum, find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524633
(but ask for the permission of the creator at first.)
You can follow this guide of huexxxx, it explains how to modify images in a rom using winrar.
thankyou
