No Offense The First Thing You Need to Do is Download Boudz-Filezzz.zip in Attachments you will find aapkt apktool.jar and apktool.bat and baksmaali
Okay So Extract
The First Thing To DO is :
--First Get framework-res.apk From System/Framework/Framework-res.apk,And SystemUI From System/App/SystemUI.apk And TWframework-res.apk From System/Framework/TWFramework-res.apk And Place With The File You Extracted..
--Next Press Shift+Alt and Right Click on An the white space in the File (Boudz-Filezz)
and Press open Command Prompt

Okay So Lemme explain The Code apktool is the file and D stands For Decompile And SystemUI.apk Which is the apkname And Test Is the Folder that the SystemUI.apk will be Decompiled To.
That Wasn't Bad Wasn't it?
Now Edit Something in test folder (Decomplied SystemUI.apk) Change Some 9.PNG From Some ROM TO your SystemUI and Xml is Also readable edit some codes ... :silly::silly:
Now After Doing That we Need To Compile It Back to An APK this is Easy... just Type in Command Prompt
Code:

I wrote this tutorial that explains how to port Jelly Bean transition animations on EVERY ROM & especially on EVERY PHONE!!!.
1) First of all, you need to download and install APK MANAGER:
http://apkmultitool.com/?q=node/5
2) Extract with WinRAR, from the ROM you want to modify, the file framework-res.apk, that you can find in the directory \System\framework\.
3) Go to the apk manager folder and place the framework-res.apk file in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding".
4) In the apk manager folder, double click on the file "Script". A cmd window will open.
5) Where it says "Please make your decision", write "22" (Set current project) and enter. Then enter "1" (to choose the first apk) and enter. Then enter "9" (Decompile apk) and enter.
The script will decompile the framework-res.apk.
6) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to projects\framework-res\res\anim\.
In this folder there are the animations of your rom. They consist in some .xml files decompiled.
7) Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8u5y88ais0awj1r
8) Copy the files from the folder "anim" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes.
9) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to projects\framework-res\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml.
Modify the values in those lines:
Code:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">300</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">400</integer>
to:
Code:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">200</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">400</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">500</integer>
and add these just below:
Code:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
10) Return to Script. Enter "11" (Compile apk) and enter.
The script will rebuild the framework-res.apk.
11) You are asked if this is a system application. Enter "n" and enter.
12) Go to the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" delete the file "unsignedframework-res.apk", click with the right mouse button on "framework-res.apk" and select "7zip > Open file", delete the folder "res" and "resource.arsc", go to the folder "projects\framework-res\build\apk\" select the folder "res" and the "resource.arsc", drag to zip and close.
13) Ready, now just replace.

Step 2: How to enter commands for .apk Files
Step 3: How to setup apktool
Step 4: Themeing & Modding
--> Step 1- /Java (Install java first)
/Apktool
OR
/Multi Tool (Download attachment with multitool name as visualbasic(VisualBasicPowerPacksSetup)_without this file it not work)
/.netFramework v4.5 or Higher (For Multitool)

cd..
cd android/apktool
/apktool if framework-res.apk
/apktool if systemui.apk
/apktool d systemui.apk (d- for Decompiling apk)

/apktool b systemui systemui-new.apk (b- For Re-Compiling apk)
Sign your new apk in order to working.
after compiling apk your new apk looks like / systemui-new.apk
Now Decompile It with 7zip & also place original apk of the current rom in desktop into a folder(decompile it also)
/Take two files from original Decompiled apk / 1.META INF 2.Android Mainfest.xml

/apktool d settings.apk (d- for Decompiling apk)
/Themeing (Dont messup Here and there without any reason or you get uncompiled apk)
/apktool b settings (b- For Re-Compiling apk)
Sign your new apk in order to working.
For checking compiled settings.apk/ dist/settings.apk
after compiling apk your new apk looks like / build/apk/here
Now Decompile It with 7zip & also place original apk of the current rom in desktop into a folder(decompile it also)
/Take two files from original Decompiled apk / 1.META INF 2.Android Mainfest.xml
/Add these two files into extracted /settings.apk(check in build folder)/Recompile it with 7zip/Now you use your new apk
---------------------------> Done
--> Step 3- A)Setuping Apktool
/only apktool not multitool (both are different)
open your laptop/desktop/ Drive c: make folder named/ android/apktool (inside android folder make apktool folder)
locate where you save apktool/unpack it with winrar or 7zip and copy whole files/paste it into/
c:/android/apktool(paste here)
Now Add three files of your ROM/Systemyui.apk , Framework-res.apk , Twframework-res.apk
after this/ just open apktool folder of c: drive where you add files in small window
You see window button in taskbar /click on it/search/cmd/ when you see / hit enter
Type commands <--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd..
cd..
cd android/apktool (this command locate your apktool folder in c:drive)
/apktool if framework-res.apk (add 1.apk >c:/user/hp/apktool/ 1.apk
/apktool if systemui.apk (add 127.apk >c:/user/hp/apktool/ 127.apk
/apktool d systemui.apk (Decompile your apk>see decompiled apk in / c:/android/apktool
/apktool b systemui.apk (Recompile your apk)
--> Done
--> Step - B)Setuping MultiTool(Also type of apktool - Easy to use
Unpack your multitool.zip
Looks like AndroidMultitool_3.0_win7/AndroidMultitool
cut AndroidMultitool / directly paste it to
c:/AndroidMultitool(inside folder and where to add files)
/Compiled_apk
/Compiled_jar
/Decompiled_apk
/Decompiled_jar
/Files
/Log
/Program_Files
/Signed_apk
/Android Multitool.exe
Add these files in /Files folder/Systemyui.apk , Framework-res.apk , Twframework-res.apk
Now Run Android MultiTool.exe
