I was editing the .png files of my widget locker to change the bottom lock bar and for some reason i cant get it to reinstall.
-Im using a mac and a Droid2 (unrooted) and these are the steps i took
-got the .apk off my phone
-changed the extension to .zip and unzipped it
-changed the png files that i wanted to change
-compressed it back into a zip file
-changed the extension to .apk, and then attached my phone and stuck it in the downloads folder
-Then when i try to install it it just says 'Parsing error'
Ive installed other modded apps from my downloads folder that i have downloaded from xda, but at the same time im new to modify android but im not toooo bad around a computer. So any help about what i may have skipped or what went wrong would be appreciated.
Thanks
I think you have to sign the new apk as well, before installing. Search the forum here how to do so...

I'm trying to change the icons on the app drawer with Root Explorer but I can't find the correct PNG to replace that on the system/app/"application.apk"/res/drawable/_____.png
Anyone knows the right name of the icon?
Thanks!
res/drawable-hdpi/file_manager_r.png ypu will have to turn the apk into a zip then put your new file into the hdpi folder and change the zip back to an apk then re install
Can I follow this steps with the Captivate or I need to do this on the computer?
Any easy way?
Thanks for the tip!
hi, i changed an image in drawable-hdpi in "phone.apk" (ic_jog_dial_unlock.png) like aceman said, but if i try to install new phone.apk it says "application not installed" (or something similar, my language phone is not english). how can i install new phone.apk??
I tried to istall it from recovery and there is the same result
thanks
You have to push the phone.apk file into /system/app with a root explorer or adb. Just installing it won't work like most other apks.
i have "root browser", can i use it? can u say to me all the steps i have to do with it or adb? i'm not an android expert user...
up...anyone ca help me?
install a different launcher app that lets you customize it. try launcherpro from the android market.
you wont understand the mod instructions.
screw it here they are...
mod instructions... basic if you need more info. learn to search there are 4000 guides on how to change an app image.
you need winrar on windows. if you arent running windows you should know better.
use root level file manager to go to 'system/app' folder and copy your launcher.apk to sdcard.
copy to PC
right click .apk > open with... > choose program > WinRar
look through folders inside APK and copy all folders with .PNG images to desktop (or work folder)
look through the images in the folders (change veiw to thumbnails) and find the name of the image you want to change and the name of the folder it was in.
Go get, or create your custom image, and name it that name. **Close to original shape size.
Use winRar to open the .APK again and naviage to the place where your image goes and drop the new one into that folder.
A window with options will come up and select Compression Profile : STORE
Click ok
Close winrar.
Copy .apk to SDcard
Use root file manager to rename original /system/app/launcher.apk to launcher.apk.bak (backup)
Then copy your modded .apk to /system/app.
Reboot (pull battery)
DONT MESS WITH ANY IMAGE ENDING IN .9.PNG only regular .pngs
for more on .9.pngs... search google.. what is ....
i*have*to*modify*phone.apk,*no*launcher.apk..*i*just*did*steps*you*sayd,*but*if*i*try*to*rename*phone.apk,*my*nexus*goes*in*full*crash
fist off this is the Captivate forums. not nexus.
and i was giving help to OP question not yours. either way the *stars*and*sp ac*es are friggin annoying. use your computer if your phone is messed up.
if you "tried" to modify the name... DID IT? try doesnt tell me much.
if it wouldnt let you, then nothing changed and your phone is screwed up from something else.
if it DID rename, then CHANGE IT BACK.. duh.
sorry for space and *, i wrote it with the mouse using google translate keybord and i saw them when i cut/past the text

Try apktool to extract all replace wteva ocon u want to and rebuild apk using the same tool and u need to sign the apk usin signapk tool so that device can recognise the.apk file for installation. I have done this and everything went fine in galaxy note. But i couldn't locate the file to rename the icon. Icon changing was not a prob.
Hi, How can I change the default Blue BG Image in stock rom's framework for x8 ? I tried copying the res apk file to pc and extracted it with winrar changed and replaced the image using photoshop then again compressed it using winrar "Normal" compression but renamed the extension to .apk instead of .rar... copied the apk to the phone but I was stuck on the 3 Logo Then I had to use xrecovery to get back..
what am I doing wrong here ? I just want to change the BG Image?
Thanks
copy framework-res.apk from system/sdcard to pc, now using 7zip or winrar extract framework-res.apk, now u should get a folder with similar name, in that folder go to res/drawable-mdpi, here edit the blue background image, now open the file framework-res.apk with 7zip, inside apk go to res/drawable-mdpi, here drag n drop ur edited image, now push the apk into system/framework.
# always make backup of the file u r messing with.

Thanks will try and report back. +1, is it necessary to use 7zip ? can I use winrar ?

U didnt fixed the permission.!!
Do u rooted ur device?
If yes then plug in the cable and connect it to pc , turn on the phone, let it stuck. Now use qtadb to push the original apk, reboot n u r done.
Ah! As u said u'll use xrec, means ur device is already rooted just use qtadb to push apk
Yup thanks mate, but I've already used xrecovery to go back to 13 days earlier state, downloading qtadb looks handy, what did I do wrong anyway ? used root explorer directly while in phone?
no I didn't set any permissions as you didn't mention such thing , sorry
Sorry my fault perhaps. When u copied the framework, long press on copied file, choose permission make it like:
XX
X
X
Yes qtadb is handy instead of using root exp to copy file. u can directly push file from system to phone, through qtadb u, I think dont need to set permissions. I think u should use 7zip.
alright the, but the phone went off as soon as I copied the file, how could I set permissions then ? I will try somedays with this utility, thanks alot
Hmm,, problem seems quit unusual, use 7zip to change edited.png in original apk, n push through qtadb,, may b it'll work, try and then respond, if no success then upload your apk n i"ll do the change...
Where is th update. Zip file located
I creaed update.Zip file but im not able to find it
Its located in /sdcard
i still not able to find it
when you create the update.zip file, and it's finished, the notification bar will have a notification about the path, check that. If it's not there, may be the zip was not created successfully.
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Was this solved? I can't find the file either.. it's not in the root of the sdcard, I've tried to create it twice and searched for it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
dont you get a notification of completion of the process and when you pull it down, you can see where its located ?
I'm having the same problem. If I look with root explorer, it exists on the root of the SD, but I can't see it in windows? Maybe it's a 2GB file limit thing or something?
but the update.zip is not more than 4MB

Yeah, I tried to make a smaller one, and it's still there but I can't see it in windows. I tried renaming it as well and that didn't work either.

Answering my own question - its definitely located in the root, just not visible in Windows no matter what I do. Use a root explorer to grab it and move it to a flash drive or remote network location, that's what I did and it worked great.

I used wifi file transfer. I was able to download the file from there.
I had this problem. Try simply unplugging your phone from the USB cord, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back into your PC. Your PC should now see the update.zip.
One of common prob's with MTP !!
just do a search in root explorer, i got 4 locations of the same file on my galaxy s3 so you can find it in anyone of those.
and yes it is the same file in all of those locations, i even tried to change the name on one of them to check if all of them changed and they did
/data/media/0/update.zip
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/update.zip
/storage/emulated/0/update.zip
Move the file out of the root directory and put it a folder, any folder. It will then show up on windows.

This worked for me! Although I used the stock file manager. After moving the update.zip to another location using file manager, I was able to see the file via Windows as well.
just change the file name and retry. worked for me
C:\> adb pull /sdcard/update.zip
so I deleted a lot of things I didn't need, one of those being the stock file manager with the blue icon named "files" and now I can't enable apps to write to the SD card because apparently it needs that app to grant SD card usage and I can't find it anywhere, does anyone can share it please?
thanks in advance
EDIT:
managed to get it by merging the sparsechunks to create a .img file and then extracting it, if you ever need it here is the guide:
