Hi,
i'am searching for a guide how to manipulate correctly the framework-res.apk.
All ways i have tested fails.
I would modify some symbols in Notification bar (battery 1%) but all Time the my Phone run into bootloop or all Application Crashes after Startup.
I've tryed Apk Manager 4.9 / and Manualy with apktool.
Help plz .....
what i did :
1-extract apk (i use 7zip/WinRAR)
2-edit/replace image file(s)
3-repack with zero compression level ('store' level)
4-sign the apk
5-replace file using apk or create flashable recovery zip.
regards.
signing the framework-res.apk will not work.. will make the device go into bootloop
what you need is extract the framework-res.apk using apktool and edit the things you want and then compile it again using apktool .... now open the original framework-res.apk and replace the file resources.arsc with the edited compiled one..
this way you will retain the signature of the original framework-res.apk

But when i add some new Files and Edit some XML the Sign will be Corrupted ?
no it won't...
You need to do two copies.. the original file and the moded one...
1. make a backup of the original file
2. extract the original file using apktool
3. edit and modify anything you like
4. compile the edited file
5. rename the compiled file to framework-res.zip and take the modified resources.arsc
6. using winrar or 7zip open (to view not extract) the backed up framework-res.apk
7. place the moded resources.arsc into the backed up framework-res.apk
by doing this you retain the original signature of the backed up file and not breaking it..
Thx, will test it ;-)

Android system, signs system apk's on boot, you shouldnt sign them

My signed apk just work well.
AFAIK, we only cant re-sign htc's apk.

The right approach always depends, what you want to change. There is no need to decompile, if you only change a few standard png. If you change xml in values folder like color, styles or arrays, you can certainly not delete resources.arsc - resources have nothing to do with the signature anyway. So if you want to play safe, you should insert the original Meta-Inf (signature) and Android Manifest after compile. It is also recommended to zipalign the final apk in order to reduce RAM usage.
thanks he_stheone64 for the clarification.. i reached that conclusion based on my own research on the net and yeah i used to change the XML files to add language support and that the only way that worked with me..
And be sure to have a working and up-to-date sdk before trying to use apktool...
First, using a old sdk release i got a partially working result (few graphics bugs and strange reboots), then with a badly updated sdk on top off the old i got apktool making many errors. Finally, re-installing the last sdk from start i got apktool and my resulting apk working correctly.

I'm trying to edit framework-res.apk so I can theme my rom. Are these the correct steps?
pull framework-res.apk from my phone
decompile the apk
make the changes
rebuild the apk
sign
zipalign
push apk back to device
I'm not too sure on this method as after I pushed back my modified apk, I get a load of force close errors
Any advice would be welcome
don't sign and don't zipalign and all are fine
I tried without sign and zipalign but the rom wouldnt boot. If I sign, I get force close errors
Does the rom need to be deoxed?
How is your process to decompile and recompile what tools do you use

Is this an ODEXed ROM or a deOXEDed ROM? You can't mix and match. If you're not ODEXing any APKs after you've modified them then you need to make sure all APKs are deOXEDed.

It is a stock rom but there is no framework-res.odex does that mean it doesn't need deodexing even though there are odex files for every other apk in my system folder?

Nice app but this theme also needs .xml changes which this app doesnt support
ok, i put him a note in his thread about the xml changing issue, we will see what hes answer will be...
edit:
also this software could do the trick: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/302404/ande-android-design-editor/
I've been playing around a little more today and it seems the issue is that no tool can rebuild the xml files correctly, they seem to be compressed/encoded.
Has anyone been able to edit an xml file in framework-res.apk and have the phone read it properly?

Refer to my signature. Apk manager.
Edit : just read ur op.
Never sign the system apk's. Simply keep the original signatures intact and after recompiling them, re-include them.
So here are the rules u must follow :
If u've modified the manifest.xml, u must stop core, push the apk, start core or push the apk while in recovery.
If u've modified anything else, a simple push / reboot will do the trick.
Note, u cannot flash a modified system apk the first time (as in on a clean boot), u must flash the original rom, let it build the dex's and then flash ur modified apk.

Hi, I am already using apk manager but the xml files it creates do not seem to work.
To prove this, I have done a test. See the attached xml files,
original_stat_sys_battery.xml was extracted from the original framework-res.apk
I then used apk manager to decompile and then recompile the same apk without making any changes.
recompiled_stat_sys_battery.xml is this recompiled file
I then opened up both files and they look different to me

That shouldn't concern u. Apktool's method of rebuilding the apk/arsc file is slightly different than how android originally builds an apk. What should concern u is if the apk simply works. Now when u decompile the apk, can u check the log to see if it reports of any missing resources, if it doesn't ur fine. So decompile the apk, make ur changes, recompile the apk, move the original meta-inf folder into ur new apk and push it to ur phone following the guidelines in my previous post. if it causes problems, post ur log and i'll take a look.
Ok this time I have added meta-inf to the new apk, pushed it to my phone and the phone hangs on boot.
Here is my log

Heres ur culprit
Code:
java.lang.SecurityException: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF has invalid digest for AndroidManifest.xml
Now seems u modified the androidmanifest.xml ? If u didn't then heres my recommendation, copy over the original androidmanifest.xml from the original apk.
Hi all,
Trying to mod the framework for the first time.
I have no problem replacing the png. But when i try to modify the xml, i get bootloop.
I used the apk manager (4.9) to decompile the apk, then edit one xml before i recompile. I did notice that the recompiled apk is at least 2MB smaller than the original.
Am i missing a step here?

Hi
yap ,,,the generated apk is unsigned...and no sign for system apk..so you have to copy by drag & drop the following files from the unsigned apk onto the original apk via WinRar and choosing ZIP archive format, NORMAL compression method.
- resources.arsc file
- res folder
- classes.dex file if exisit in the non-system apks
hope that help
good luck

Ah,
I was thinking this as a possible workaround so it looks like it is thr solution?
Just a confirmation, if i change the battery_charging.xml, then i should compile, then extract out the battery_charging.xml from the recompiled framework-res.apk and insert into the original, signed framework-res.apk?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
I tried taking the compiled xml ( that defines the animation of battery charging icon on the status bar), put into the original framework-res.apk, and end up with non existent icon for the battery charging. Everything else remains working though.
What could have gone wrong?

Hey can someone give me some quick tips on how to edit it?
I edited SystemUI.apk just fine but no matter what I do to framework-res, it won't let me replace the files (I'm only replacing pngs in drawable-mdpi folder)
What error are you getting? Also, install framework with apktool
POTATO!!!!
I think he's talking about drag and drop png file ) If it's true, the solution for him is learning how to decompile apk. Becoz most of png in systemUI is png, not too many 9.png files so it's easy to replace without decompiling

Yup...
Decompile the framework-res.apk with Apktool and then replace the pngs..
I can't recompile because apktool always crashes when trying to recompile XML files. I'm using the AceCream framework apk instead of the stock rom one...
I'll try this on another PC to see if it's some weird software glitch

Well, apktool dumps a stack trace where the error seems to occur in a public.xml file, apk manager says there is a error but the log shows nothing for me

Can you test if you can modify this file without errors?

NOTE: If you want to edit framework-res.apk or systemui.apk, follow this guide, it's the best available:good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086771
Now, lets start
smali, dex....whaaat?
It's simple our odexed ROMs have .apk which use .odex files which contain cache. When the ROM is deodexed the .apk contains classes.dex which now contains information present in the .odex files!:good:
Smali is nothing but disassembled .dex file! The .dex file is disassembled into java code which can be edited via Notepad ++( simple notepad works too)
WHY?
Why do you need to edit classes.dex !
For me, i was trying to make CRT on/off animation which required editing classes.dex in service.jar!
More edits where classes.dex inside services.jar is needed
- Changing status bar clock color
- Changing text color in notification bar
- More? Tell Me!:highfive:
HOW?
Requirements: Java SDK!
I have APK Multi Tool, although it decompiles .apk and .dex files inside the apk, it doesn't provide option to decompile a separate classes.dex!
Still it's best software for decompiling apks and more!

Once you have decompiled classes.dex, you'll get various folder with various files. Edit the files required and then recompile!
So after generating new classes.dex, put it back to services.jar by opening the file in winzip!:good:
ONE MORE THING
Make your own flashable zip
The recompiled systemui.apk or framework-res.apk, when pushed via root explorer give lot of force closes. This is normal, however if u wish to avoid it u can create a cwm flashable zip for the same!:good:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/mod-multi-dpi-samsung-apps-camera-t3141148
----------------------------------------------------------
Hi all, after changing the dpi to 480 the camera was the main thing bugging me. Looking for a solution I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/mod-fix-samsung-camera-app-device-dpi-t3131995
But that did not work for me, so I decided to try it myself and I finally managed to create multi-dpi versions of the Camera and Samsung Keyboard apps. They are based on the apks from the XtreStoLite Universal Deo-Mod Edition 1.5 as I'm currently running that. So just give it a try (backup the original apks first! I usually just rename them to "filename.org") and let me know if it works for you. I tested on 480 and 520 dpi and that works here...
Installation:
1. Backup original apk (in system\app\SamsungCamera4 and/or systemm\app\SamsungIMEv2 )
2. Extract modded apk to the corresponding folder
3. Wipe data for the app
4. Reboot
I basically modified the dimens.xml file to hardcoded pixel sizes instead of dip value, modifying dip value caused other issues for me (camcorder not working, pro mode messing up). Hopefully it's of use to some.
I have not been able to fix the Contacts/Dialer (SecContacts_L.apk in the priv-app folder)! I either get a corrupt apk (parsing error) or it just won't show up in my apps. Corrupted apk gives a parsing error when trying to install manually, otherwise it just says 'install failed'.
I am guessing this is somethiong with the priv-app folder and other restrictions there. I also tried copying the apk to the system\app folder instead but that didn't work either...
If anyone has ANY idea how to fix this? (I tried with both apktool as apk multitool).
*SCRIPTS ADDED*
Added the scripts and all I've written for this to this post for those wanting to try themselves (dpi_mod.zip). They are not completely polished so need some manual editing every now and then...
Basically, doubleclicking apk_process.bat in the root will go through the apk's in the apk subfolder and
1. Decompile them to the decompiled subfolder
2. Edit the dimens.xml file in the res\values subfolder of the decompiled folder replacing all the <n>dip values with <4*n>px (So 640 dip becomes 2560px for example...)
3. Rebuild the apk to the dpimod_apk subfolder (using the -c option to keep original manifest and signature files)
The files folder contains the files used (apktool, the subscripts for each step, signature files, (g)awk and an awk script to process the xml file replacing the values, etc)
There is also a script for signing the apk manually, but somehow the apk then also doesn;t work in my case it seems...
ALl scripts are windows batch files (and an awk file) as I mainly use windows at home. Shouldn't be too hard for the linux users to convert them to bash files if desired...
*EDIT2*
Added patched services.jar (and original services.jar for restoration in case of issues). Flash through twrp recovery... This allows you to use the modded SecContacts_L.apk supplied, the services.jar needs to be patched to disable the signature verification for the (system) apk files. Note that this might cause issues (an invalid services.jar caused my phone to get stuck in boot... had to restore the original to be able to continue) so use at your own risk!
Great job !

Yup, it does. (But again, doesn't bother me as much as I don't look at it long because I usually hold my phone to my ear anyway ).
But yeah, I think I know where to fix it... It's the Contacts apk I mentioned above but there is an issue with decompiling/rebuilding it so can't fix it yet. Looking into it.
Did notice when decompiling and recompiling including resources it fails, when keeping resources intact it does work.
To successfully mod seccontacts you have to do these steps :
- Decompile apk
- Edit xml files in res folder
- Recompile apk
- Extract xml edited files in res folder from recompiled apk
- Paste these xml files in the original apk in the res folder with compression tool like Winrar
It works I made this with my S5.
Meh, been looking into it some more and also found this:

and
http://www.ez-pg.com/guide-how-to-decompilerecompile-lollipop-seccontacts.html
I tried modifying the manifest as instructed, but the apk still didn't work. Perhaps because signature verfication is not properly disabled on my rom. BUt if it isn't it is also not for the majority of the users in which case siumply supplying the apk wouldn't work anyway.
I also tried resigning the apk, no luck. Copying the original manifast is also not going to work afaik with a changed manifest file...

Thanks for the tip, had looked into that as well but this xml file is in the values folder which is not simply found in the res folder of the apk but compiled into the resources.arsc file in the apk so this is not working unfortunately.
