You can try to recompile it, use and learn the tutorial on ApkTool (credits to memnoc) from this link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511730

Thanks for ur response... but i seem to have used all the apktools available... i can recompile the "-res.apk" but when i put it back to \system\framework ... the UI FCs and the notification bar doesnot load.
unfortunately od has stopped. >> is the message i get when i put the modified "-res.apk".
i have noticed one thing that the recompiled apk doesnot have META-INF folder... although i tried to copy it and gave a try but still no go...
what i am trying to do is using a themed apk like lidroid or crikelos res .. decompile .. change some text under the toggle buttons ...
what am i doing wrong... ?

hmm... have you tried setting back the permissions on your modified -res.apk in /system/framework? Mounting it before hand?
If you have, you may indeed try to ask some devs or someone who knows their way in recompiling apks as this is a sensitive matter to touch with and I'm moderately more on contributing stuffs rather than delving into the internal programmings on the android ecosystem.

hmmm.. i have changed permissions as well still... Thanks for taking the time out

Go to apkyool.yml
Edit with notepad++
And below
-1
Add -2
So it would look like
-1
-2
Then compile it lidroid-res again
Also make sure you have twframework-res.apk
And framework-res.apk installed

Only sign lidroid if you have signed every apk in your rom
I normally do this
Decompile apk
Make changes
Compile apk
Go to original apk
Press right
7-zip
Open as archive
Delete res
Delete resources.arsc
Leave the 7-zip archive open
Go to
The decompiled folder
Go to build/apk
Copy all except androidmanifest.xml to the archive
Then its done you have an apk

You can use it with any stock based rom. You can get the apk and .odex file from the repack's zip. Don't deodex it.It's faster leaving it that way and sometimes (rarely) opt codes get lost when deodexing.

can i use it wtih cm10?

Not without adding the lg-framework stuff that it depends on to the cm10 framework.

Firstly i tried normally deodexing and pushing to system/app, then i read what you wrote here... You are right xonar ;p

LG uses opt codes that are fast but are 'unsafe' and is only allowed in odex files. ( why V30 repack is so fast and snappy compared to cm10 )
'unsafe' meaning if it's used wrong it can have unexpected results at unexpected places.
The reference I'm using is fairly old so it might've changed.

Its basicly a .dex file outside of the apk. ( it's got a slightly different structure and allows more opt codes )

Hey! I wanted to use the LG lockscreen and keyboard apps on the Paranoidandroid JB ROM! Does this mean that I have to recompile those apps with that ROM or can just push them to the system after deodexing it?

You can't deodex those files. It loses some byte-ops.

The keep folder contains the stock files unchanged..So if you changed a smali in your project folder you'll have to delete the classes.dex in the keep folder,if you changed xml you'll have to delete the resources.arsc in the keep folder..
