Exactly what question says on title. I tried doing it through clockwork recovery, but froze on (installing updates..). Answers would be very much appreciated, thanks.
You have to unzip the file and change icons like that. You can't simply flash the zip. What launcher are u using?

Im using launcherpro right now. I figured that was the method. I went into root explorer and extracted the zip file and extracted all the png files to my extracted folder. But now im stuck on how to save them in my gallery so i custom put them on from launcherpro. But i dont wanna do all that if theres another way.

recently i tried to replace the kernel that came with a version of Phoenix with an updated kernel before flashing, but it did not work out. I simply extracted the original, replaced the zimage, and created a new zip file with the new kernel in the rom, using windows to package the zip. is this what i should do, or is it more complex than this? the flash failed.
Don't extract the rom zip. Use 7zip or similar and open archive, delete the zimage then drag the other kernel zimage in there. Or just flash the rom as is and then flash the kernel.

thanks! that makes sense. can i just do what you said using windows explorer?
7zip is free and handles many more file extension types.
Install it then right click on the file in windows explorer, select 7 zip, then open archive. This allows you to make changes without actually extracting the entire file.

yes i know, but when just dealing with a zip file, can i use windows explorer to delete contents inside the zip and replace them?

so when i double click on a zip file in windows explorer, and it opens it as if it were just another folder, can i not replace stuff directly in windows explorer where im at?
That extracts everything and you may have issues after zipping it back up

in windows explorer, you can right click and select extract files, but when you double click the zip it appears that it is allowing you to edit the contents without completely unzipping. am i wrong in thinking this?
Perhaps you can do it that way......i just always used 7zip. You will have to try it and see.

I am using winzip. When I right click the zip file it gives me the option to "open" with winzip. When I do it shows me files like windows does. So my question is can I use winzip to replace the file and then close it?
winzip works as well
Hello everyone!!
So i got myself a WiFi Xoom and rooted it. By mistake uninstalled the stock browser with titanium backup and now its gone from the system. Can any of you please provide me with a flashable file so i can flash it via recovery and restore app?
I tried getting the apk from one of the system dumps on the developer section but when i try to install it i get the message "App not Installed".
did you move the apk to system/app and give it correct permissions rw/r/r?

I tried to copy the apk to the system/app folder using ES file exlorer but it does not let me, and i dont know how to set the correct permissions.
Use RootExplorer, it does all mentioned stuff
Put the apk into this file. Put it in the system/app folder and flash in recovery.

EDITED:::Nvmd, replaced browser.apk with the ones from system dump, as mentioned in OP, and that resolved my issue of not being able to use the stock browser.
Where can i remove AOSP Lockscreen? is it in framework-res.apk?

which rom do u have?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
yeah, i've backed up. i'am using cryberts rom 1.2.1
Restoring framework-res.apk should do the trick.
you have to restore android.policy.jar and frsmework-res.apk

and where i get them from? sry i've made a mistake, i haven't backed up :/

yes it is, but only if you get that sliders from somewhere
Then I would recommend to extract them from your original ROM you flashed.
Depending on which file format this ROM is in:
open up a *.tar.md5 file with 7zip (freeware), then extract system.img.ext4, download linux reader (freeware), drag the system.img.ext4 file into this program and open it. Navigate to /system/framework and copy to your desktop or where ever you like it. Than put it back on device as described earlier.
If you are on linux, you may mount you image directly (something like "mount -o loop /path/to/system.img.ext4 /where/to/mount") and extract those files. Then umount it.

Unfortunately that didn't work.
Is file on your phone or computer? What zip program do you use on your computer?
File on computer....tried WinRAR and 7zip.
I know you can open it in winzip and then do a save as and save it as a zip file. Not sure that will help.
Did you use the convert feature in WinRAR?
Is the download corrupt?
I'll try Winzip now see what happens.
WinZip failed too...any help?
What exactly is failing?

"Cannot open file. Does not appear to be a valid archive".
Sounds like it's corrupt. Download again.
Downloaded multiple times...that's why I'd like it if anyone could link me a good file :/
Cmon guys I seriously need help I can't use my phone!
Download playground and kernel and reflash.
I cannot flash the kernel...because I'm on S-OFF and I need to adb push the Wifi module driver...now to do that I need to change the name of the file in the zip. But I can't access the zip...
But isn't the Wifi module in the rom? If you are s-off, download the rom via computer, copy to sd card and flash. Do the same with the kernel. Unless I'm missing something.
The file isn't for unpacking as I remember you just need to edit the filename and remove the .7z extension and copy it over the current one.
It should only be S-ON users that had to do this as I remember too.

Hmm I thought the filename I had to edit was in the actual zip. Thanks...
You can't just rename a 7zip file you need to extract and than re-compress the files into a zip file.

Hi friends i've modified contact.apk but i dont know how to sign it. I will be thankfull if someone can do it for me...
Wrong section man, please use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1480
signing is easy than modifying
You do not need to sign it, it is a system app and you cannot install it. Just make a flashable zip and flash it via CWM. If you do not have root, you are out of luck.

Move it to system/app/ and set permissons then reboot

Download the zip in the attachment, open it with 7Zip/Winrar whatever you use, put your Contacts.apk in the system/app folder (watch for the case, the names are case sensitive) and the save the zip. Put it on your SD card, reboot to recovery and flash.
