If you just want to do some basic theming to framework-res.apk and systemui.apk all you really need is 7zip and a way to sign packages, I use Androidsigner.

how would you edit the actual system apps? everytime i open them i just get a whole bunch of xml files. but unless im wrong, arent these just layout files that tell the app how to display?

Thank you, I am planning to release my own rom sometime next week

How can I edit no. Of rows ,size of app icons in app drawer.
Also I am not able to decompile apk using apk manager, it sows error. And apk manager also shows adb not found maybe that the reason.

i dont actually know whats the problem.....but i have observed that the apks protected by a signature by original developer don't decompile by apkManager unless you rename them and then try to decompile........so you can try renaming and then decompiling the launcher app

Cant Modify the SystemUI.apk 4.42

hello Guys hope you can help me with an Problem:
I wanted to change the Colors of the Icons in the Status Bar so i copied over systemUI.APK to my PC via ES-Data Explorer.
I extracted the ZIP and Coloreed the Logos (Didnt change anything just Colored)
then i got 2 Framework APK ( com.htc.resources.APK and framework-res-htc.APK) and used this APK TOOL: Apktool if xxxx.APK (the two apks from framework)
then i decompiled the SystemUI.APK with APK Tool and replaced the ICONS (which i edited before from an usual extracted APK)
now when i want to compile it again it gives me an error at every Icon which i edited.
Hope you can help me, It worked on my samsung galaxy s2 though.
Ah And not to forget: Of Course im S-OFF and Rooted.
