Hi,
When I flash the battery circle mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730673) through recovery as an update on my phone, everything goes well.
I even made one myself with Apk manager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701) using the stock framework-res.apk file and it works just fine.
I have cooked my own rom based on 2.03.405.3 with the kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246) (rooted, disabled the bootsound and deodexed the whole rom).
Now I putted the battery circle mod (tried with both of them) into my rom using winrar and replaced the framework-res.apk and signed the rom.
But when I flash this rom on my phone, my phone gets stuck in a bootloop. I already searched with google to find similar problems but didn't find any. No mather what I try, it always ends with a boot loop
Anyone who can help me out???
Did you tried flashing other rom?
jup, i already flashed some roms from other members + some that i made myself and no problems at all
Open your original framework-res.apk with 7zip (not extract, just open) replace the file (use drag and drop), except for meta file and sign file, and afrer finish just close the 7zip, now you have modified framework-res.apk and cook it. It's very easy yeah.......

Guess it ain't that easy. Tried it exactly the way you said and again bootloop
I have made my rom.zip with dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen.
I open this rom with 7-zip and extract the framework-res.apk file and I leave my rom open.
Then I open the framework-res.apk with 7-zip, I drag and drop the files that need to be replaced and I close the file.
I then sign framework-res.apk with stericson's autosigner and drag and drop the signend file into my still open rom.zip which I then close.
I sign the rom.zip an put it on my sd-card.
I go into recovery, wipe data/factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache and then flash the zip and reboot.
And again I have a bootloop
But when I make an update.zip of the edited framework-res.apk and I flash then I have no problems at all.
Attached: logcat file with my bootloop error. (Other error than the one I my first post)
nobody who can help me ???
Did you deodex or get already deodexed framework?
Do you wipe data partition every time you flash this ROM of yours?

My whole rom is deodexed with the kitchen. There are no .odex file in my rom.
And yes i always wipe before I flash
OK, let's get this straight... you wipe data, then flash your rom (without updated framework-res.apk), then boot and just after that (in second recovery session) you push new framework-res.apk, reboot again and it works? Or... you wipe your data, flash rom, push new framework-res.apk (via update), reboot and it works?
Did you make some logcat of failed attempt?

I said open framework-res.apk with 7zip before you cook it, replace the file and close it, no need to sign it, and cook your rom. It's working well on mine.

So what do you mean by "and cook your rom"? Replace the changed framework-res.apk file in my rom.zip and run my rom through the kitchen again?
Because I just did that and it doesn't work either

Don't replace the framework-res.apk, extract your modified framework-res.apk, you can use winrar/winzip/7zip to extract it, take your custom .png file from it.
If it finish, then open OEM framework-res.apk with 7zip (not extract, just open), then drag and drop your custom .png file that you already take from custom framewoekees into it in same folder in 7zip, then build your rom.

I'm modifiying my own rom, and tring to find a way to recover the HTC camera to the stock one.
I did the following step but failed:
1. delete the /system/app/camera.apk and HTCAlbum.apk
2. paste the original camera.apk to /system/app
3. repack the rom and flash
But nothing happened, even there is no camera icon in the menu.
How should I get the stock one back? There is some bug with the HTC camera...
You can just push it. If you change it within the ROM and flash you must resign it.

Now I have find the way to resign the package. But I find there is a odex file following the same name apk file. Should I copy the odex file along with the apk file into the app directory?
My rom does not contain any odex file while another rom have many of them. Could any one tell me why?

Odex optimization is just optimization. Copy the .odex file along with the .apk if its available.
The HTC camera has a bug that if you half-push the camera button, it will not only focus but also take a photo, not like the original one does.
I have done the following and both of them failed,
1. copy the camera.apk from JF 1.5, resigned the rom, and flash... There is no icon appearing in the menu
2. copy the camera.apk and odex file from ION build, resign and flash... The phone can not start up at all. It freeze at ANDROID logo.
I'm wondering if I have done in the wrong way... Could you offer some help?
Thanks in advance.
try to get the camera from the crc1 build
The problem is where to get...
All the other builds from CRC1 contain the odex file, which will broke the startup process.
could anyone send me the camera.apk and libcamera.so from CRC1?
just mail me: [email protected]
get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456 donwload one of those ROMS
NO...it doesn't work. There is an odex file coming alone with the apk file. If I copy the apk and odex files into the CM rom, it will fail to startup. Seems CM rom can only accept standalone apk file.
I'm a noob at this... I searched the forum but couldn't find any information.
Could someone more knowledgeable explain to me how to decompile and recompile apk's?? More specifically the framework-res??
I read that you can't simply unzip and then rezip... so what do I have to do?
The apk's are zip files that contain the resources (icons, bitmaps, sounds, etc.) as well as the code compiled in a classes.dex file. You can replace the resources after deodexing, but I don't think you will be able to change the compiled code in classes.dex unless you have the source code.

So for instance... if I have a clockwork flashable battery mod... and I unzip that... and edit colors of icons in the framework-res.apk, then can I just save the files, recompress and it will still flash properly?
And another thing.. if you have a clockword flashable .zip how do you change it so that you can flash via stock recovery? I know that simply renaming it to update.zip and trying via stock will not work. Is it a hard process, do I need a special program on my pc??

I am not sure about editing apk's. To create a flashable zip file through stock recovery, you need to have the META-INF folder correctly created with a working updater script and the manifest and certificate files that you get by signing the zip file. Look into playing with the HTC android kitchen on the chef central section here to automate that process.
A lot of people have asked in various threads lately about getting this theme on x rom, or can someone port this theme for me, etc. It really isn't that hard. It actually is pretty much a simple matter of copying and pasting. This will work on any ROM, and it only takes a few minutes, easy enough for an amateur to do it.
1. First, download the ROM that has the theme that you want on your current ROM.
2. Extract framework-res.apk from /system/framework and rename it to framework-res-old.zip and then right click it, and click extract all. Just extract them to currentdirectory\framework-res-old, which should be the default option anyway.
3. Take your current ROM, and extract framework-res.apk from /system/framework, and repeat step 2 except name it framework-res-new.zip.
4. Browse to the framework-res-old\res folder and select all of the folders starting with "drawable", such as "drawable-mdpi"
5. Browse to the framework-res-new\res folder and paste those folders, it should prompt you to merge and replace files and all that jazz, just click yes and do for the next x conflicts. It will copy and replace all of the image files.
6. Go back to the root of your framework-res-new folder, highlight all of the contents, right click, Send to > Compressed (zipped) archive
7. Windows will re-zip framework-res-new. When it finishes, rename the new zip file to framework-res.apk and push it to /system/framework. If you haven't gotten s-off on your phone, you have to do this while in clockwork recovery (make sure you mount /system in the partitions menu, or if you are s-off and booted, type adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system if it gives you memory errors)
For other operating systems, the steps are similar. If you use a linux distro, I'm going to assume you are smart enough to figure out the compression tools and menu items to unzip and rezip the apk files.
NOTE: You don't actually have to change the extensions to .zip, in fact, you won't be able to unless you unchecked hide known file extensions in the windows folder options in control panel. I just thought it would be easier. If you don't want to unhide extensions, just use a tool like 7-zip or winrar to open and extract the APK. In simple terms, all you are doing is replacing the res folder of your new framework-res.apk with the one from the theme you want. Not very hard.
ANOTHER Note: Sense roms are a bit more difficult to theme, since all of the HTC apps are themed from images in com.htc.resources.apk in /system/framework. But if you are on a sense ROM, you probably can just use a MyModes theme. If you do however choose to try this on a sense ROM, it will only theme user and non-HTC apps. This guide will technically work for any ROM but it works best for AOSP based ROMs, like CyanogenMod or ArayrayMod. The only thing is that if there is a change in the color of text, then you have to decompile both framework-res APKs and copy styles.xml from the old one to your new one and recompile it. APKtool or APK Manager both work great for that.
DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE PUSHING THE NEW FRAMEWORK! Sometimes you can get boot loops from screwing with other files in framework-res, or if it is not signed properly. But you shouldn't get boot loops as long as you stay away from XMLs.
how do i extract an apk? it shows up as an apk and when i click extract it does nothing
Sometimes pushing new frameworks cause boot loops fyi..

Did you try renaming it to framework-res.zip rather than .apk? If you have 7-zip or winrar you can also right click, open with, and choose 7-zip or winrar from the choose default program option.

Only if you screw with the non-drawable folders. If you leave the XMLs intact and only change the images it boots fine. The boot loops are caused by incompatible or conflicting XML files, which happens when you just push a random framework-res from another ROM, you have to just move the images over.
I use apkmanager for linux and its immensely helpful. Also you can loop one even without modifying the xmls. Least I have that's why the most important part of theming is knowing how to backup/restore or flash sbf or w/e.

1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_signed.zip is the file that I updated the updater-script so you can flash it in the in-build recovery.
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_original_signed.zip is your original file. If there are any issues, you can flash it back in the in-build recovery.

Copy the zip file to the internal SD card, not the external one, go to recovery, flash it.

looked in a thread

and from what I understand it seems to be a problem with the update binary. But Im just an end user and this is too much for me.
anyway maybe Ill try to flash the cranium ROM and try to cook again a new one and use your update script.
cheers!!
Hi,
Is there any posibility to change framework-res.apk file without CWM? I don't want to instal CWM becouse of it has a problem with front side cam and I need this cam. It's can't be overwritten when the phone works. Maybe some adb and push command is possible.
Could you help me by describing the whole procedure? Sorry for my English.

Can you maybe make one for Android 2.3.5 like the screenshot @ page 1?

Upload your framework-res.apk file.
This is a detailed tutorial about modifying or making your own custom roms....but not as regular method... It is a new method...
So...lets start....
In this Guide...you will come to know how to--
Modifying rom..
Adding apps and removing..
Changing bootanimation, rom's name, fonts, ringtones...etc.
A new and easy method to make the rom....
::Requirements::
Galaxy Mini..
A windows PC.
Some basic knowledge..
Time and Patience(most imp)
::Important Tools::
7zip or any other zip manager>>Download Here<<
Update Zip Packager>>Download Here<<
Notepad++ >>Download Here<<
Dsixda's Kitchen..(OPTIONAL)..>>XDA Link<<
::About "BaseRom".zip::
Now, suppose, your base rom is CyanogenMod7.zip...
So...when u will extract that zip...u will see there...
META-INF (Folder)
system (Folder)
boot.img
META-INF :
This folder contains the files which are related to your recovery....in simple words...these files guide your recovery to flash zip, set permissions and some other things...
So...the change that we want here is to add the text that our recovery shows while flashing the rom...look in the extras for the tut...
boot.img :
This file contains Kernel of ur rom....and it also contains splash screen of ur rom....which u can edit...!! Look in extras..
NOW, the main thing..
::Main Tutorial::
Download your base rom and flash it....(without editing anything).
Flash Gapps..
Flash some other material such as Bravia Engine, Audio Enhancements, Scripts, Tweaks, etc
Flash each n every thing that you want in your rom...
Flash any theming material..which u want in ur rom
If you are modifying some system apps such as phone.apk, systemui.apk, framework-res.apk....then modify them one by one and flash them..
When you are done your theming, tweaking, and rest of the things...(now, you are running your rom having your desired theme, scripts, tweaks...)
Now....go to CWM recovery and do a Nandroid backup..
After the backup is completed...locate to the folder in sd-card where the backup file is created..(SD-Card>clockworkmod>backup>.....)
In this "backup" folder...you will see a folder named as the date when you have taken the backup..
In that folder...you will see a file - system.ext4.tar.
Copy that system.ext4.tar file in your PC...
Extract the file...you will see a folder - system
Now, this "system" folder is your Rom's system folder.. having all scripts, tweaks and theming...
Just delete the folder "lost+found" in that system folder and take this folder to the folder where your META-INF and boot.img are...
IMPORTANT:You have to delete "xbin" folder from the extracted system folder and then u have to copy and paste the original xbin folder to that folder..
::Extras::
Editing build.prop :
Locate to the system folder....open build.prop and edit it as you want by adding lines to it...refer this link...
Adding and Removing Apps :
Under system>>app folder copy the apps that you want to add to your rom...also remove the apps that you want...but click here to know the list of apps that can be removed...
Adding UI print to the meta-inf :
Locate to the file updater-script (META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script).
Open the file updater-script with Notepad++...
Scroll down to the last line of the matter...
Copy and paste the following code exactly below the last line
ui_print("Have A Nice Day");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should type your own desired text at the place of Have A Nice Day..(with "....")
Done!!
After u have done....leave the META-INF folder as it is....for now..
Editing Splash Screen :
Extract the boot.img by using dsixda's kitchen....it is very easy...
After that....refer to this LINK for editing boot splash screen......and then repack the boot.img again using dsixda's kitchen
Editing boot animation of rom :
Download your desired bootanimation.zip.
Rename it "bootanimation.zip".
Now, locate to the folder system>media
You will see a file bootanimation.zip there..
Replace that file with your desired boot animation..(renamed)..
Done!!
Adding ringtones :
Take your ringtone file...it should be in .ogg format..If not then convert it to .ogg..
Locate to the folder system>media>audio>ringtones>
Copy and paste your .ogg files here in ringtones folder..
You can also change notifications, alarm and UI tones like this..
Changing the Fonts :
Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
Locate to the folder system>fonts>
Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one..(rename first)..
Changing the ROM's name :
Note: It will be shown in settings>about phone>
Open build.prop with Notepad++
Find the line-
ro.cm.version="Base rom's name"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type your rom's name instead of "Base rom's name"..
Save..
Done!!
Theming Your Rom :
Refer to the following links for theming guides-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422116
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469987
Now you have your MODIFIED : -
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img
::Creating your ROM.zip::
Extract the provided UpdateZipPackager.zip
You will see->>placehere(folder)
>>others(folder)
>>script.bat
Now, copy your modified META-INF, system and boot.img in the folder "placehere" in UpdateZipPackager..
Run the script.bat in UpdateZipPackager..
It will ask something...type "n" and press enter..
Now, you will see a list in the script window...
Choose option 2 and press enter..
It will create an update.zip...
This is your roms zip..
Flash your rom and upload it to XDA..!!! Enjoy..!!
Plz...press thanks if I helped you with this guide...

NO, it won't be there.... ALl your apps and data will not be in this rom as we've not included the data folder data.ext4.tar (which is the one to store all your data).
SO, don't worry much about it.

Use titanium Backup to backup your apps and Some SMS backup app from market...many of them are available..Then after installing neW ROM just restore

Great tutorial OJ.....
This should help many who want to create their own roms, but I also fear xda will now get flooded with themed or modified roms.

Check your framework-res.apk for errors...as well as...check your meta-inf...try with an unedited meta-inf...and also..dont forget to replace that xbin folder with the original one...from base rom...also delete lost + found folder taken from system.ext4.tar ...try everything freshly..dont make anything wrong in update zip packager..in options selection...u will surely get success..

After I did the nandroid backup and went my backup folder, I only saw a "system.img" file inside the other folder - no "system.ext4.tar" ...what should I do in this case?
Oj-buddy, I am trying to follow your guide to make a custom ROM, but I find myself in a spot. You said that after I do the nanadroid backup, I'm supposed to go to: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(dated folder which contains my rom) where I will see "system.ext4.tar", but that's not what I see ;these are the files I see: android_ secure.img, boot.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, sd-ext.img, system.img.....what should I do at this point?

You should use latest CWM recovery for it.....
or you can also extract system.img with magicISO tool...
both system.img and system.ext4.tar are same files..
