Decompiled .9.png's?

Can anyone post the decompiled .9.png's from the 3.1 system/framework/framework-res.apk and the system/app/*.apk they've decompiled? I'm having a heck of a time going back and forth from xp to win7 trying to get apktool or apkmanager to work for me. I need the guides to edit the .9.png's properly... thanks in advance!

I hope this be useful for you.

Its a guide from miui developers...

Thanks
i appreciate the help but i know how to do it, its just not working with my 64 bit windows for some reason. im trying to avoid reinstalling linux, triple booting with windows and all the fun that comes with that. lol i just need the drawable folders to see the guides. i didnt want to do them from scratch if possible. stupid windows... i got the framework and systemui files decompiled from 3.0.1 before the tool stopped working... i just wanted to get some of the other ones half way themed. thanks for trying to help!

Dont everybody help at once. lol

Decompiling or recompiling problem [Please help]

There are some apks that when I decompile and recompile them, they don't work, even if I decompile and and then without changing anything recompile them again, they don't work. I think the person who made those kind of apps does something so others can't change their apps and publish them under their own name, which is a good thing and I respect that, but sometimes there is an app which is really cool but there are some problems like bad images which need to be changed.
I'm changing some picture in Handcent SMS which is a free app, but after decompiling I can not install it.
I also asked the owner for his help, and I thought I ask you guys, too.
Has anyone ever had any experience like this?
It would be great if someone could help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Well if these apk's u mention are not grabbed from the /system/app folder you'll need to sign them every time you edit them.

Yeah, I know. I always sign the apks which are not from /system/app, and they work just fine but in this case there is something wrong.

My guess is they have a protection agains tampering.

[Q] Adding Libs to roms..

As the title says - Adding libs to roms, can someone point me in the right direction? I have been a member of this forum for a while, just not a posting member, I now feel it is my time to add something back to the community, is it as simple as adding it to the rom whilst flashed to an X8? Please help me, maybe I can bring something back to the community..

what i can advice you is..
just flash the room and then use 'root explorer' to play with lib
make sure your phone rooted
peace!

Thank you, I will try that, I am wishing to work on a ROM and get wifi, 3G and such working, however I have tried using ADB to push the libs but I don't know if it worked or not..

I want to make the whole sense rom work, BUT I can't access the system files without having the rom installed which is pretty gay.. I need some way of accessing it in the .img format which then I can flash to my phone to test... mshhh... plus I'm not quite sure which libs will work (ofcourse when I find out I will seek permissions before uploading the rom...)

To open .img you could use Winimage or Poweriso or something similar.

Already tried, same problem... I found an unyaffs2 program compiled for windows which allowed me to extract the image I just need to mkyaffs2 it back to img then maybe I can get it working BUT I need to be in Linux and I can't be bothered making a VM at the moment...
Maybe someone can help me with this? We could work together to make a fully working sense rom... come on people.. someone who wants this must have a bit of knowledge on the subject...

[Q] .apk file editing

My knowledge about the android development is mediocre....I have Samsung galaxy tab 2 P3100.....I rooted that myself and i can flash different roms.....thats all i know about android....Any help will be appreciated...
Is there any way i can edit .apk file. I want to change the GUI of a particular application. The name of the application is 7notes with mazec.
the attachment contains 2 images.
1) This is how the original app looks like [red square]
2) I want the app to look like this...
I can send the .apk file or only instructions also will do...
Thanks in advance!!
Similarly can i edit the GUI of any application..

You can edit the .apk but you have to decompile with apktool and edit .xml files to accomplish this. I'm no programmer but I have learned how to decompile and recompile .apk and make minor adjustments. If you know how to write xml then it shouldn't be that difficult but first you should search the forums for how to use apktool.

Thnx Steeleio....i will try that.....i dont know xml....i will search on that too.....can u suggest me some forums to learn apktool?

I have done THIS guide which should be of some help, but repositioning buttons and icons is something you'll need to Google for and experiment with.

Akshay, your welcome. The link Xperience provided seems to be an excellent guide to apk edits. Once you learn how to decompile and start relating the xml coding with how things are laid out in the UI, you should be able to figure out how to produce the output that you want. Good luck.

Great stuff. It is now about figuring out how to go about repositioning the images, but that task is something you're going to have to do I'm afraid as it can be a time consuming process, especially when learning, plus repositioning is above my skill set.

Look in /res/layout/
Send me the APK, I'll see if I can guide you in the right direction.

i dnt know anything about the xml.....mean while, i will try to find out how to relocate the layout for the buttons.....

Questions about theming

Hopefully some great themers here can help me in the right direction.
I've already spent some times reading about how to decompile, compile etc.
the one i tried is TMA (tickle my android), first i got several problems because he wouldn't decompile framework-res. I've found out that you need to install the semc....-res file before you can decompile framework-res and the other way the same.
so that's working great now, and it also recompiles and i can make a flashable zip but i keeps getting in bootloop.
i've found out that there's something special about sony's framework-res and these problems can happen but i can't seem to find the right way for the Xperia T to solve this problem.
could someone tell me how or direct me to guides that are suitable for the Xperia T?
I've tried theming several times and i always get stuck somewhere the process but i really want to learn!
thanks in advance for all the help..

If i was being funny, i would have told you to use the search function at the top of the page.
When your navigating through your phone it can be quite difficult to search, find and post links for people. Id rather just post a whole load of links in one go as it's quicker and easier.
I didnt have to respond to you, im busy repairing fridges and took a quick break, maybe i shouldnt have bothered. Or maybe i just wont respond anymore and keep what i know to myself.

no, no, i'm sorry.. i thought you just wanted to link me to google for asking a "stupid" question.
my bad, please forgive me!
i really appreciate your help.

You need to do this first -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41373722&postcount=2
After that you can do anything you want in your framework, wether theming or modding.
Edit: hehehe I guess dully nailed it already LoL, my given link is the same actually
Tapatalked from my bricked TX

thank you both, i took me some time and errors but i've finally got it working.
first i tried with stock framework to learn the decompiling/compiling signing process and it worked.
now i'm trying e few mods, my first one doesn't work (50% transparent statusbar), i did this mod thru TMA (which has this mod as option).
maybe google it and make the mod myself..
hmm second one doesn't work either, i looked thru google on how to remove the statusbar clock. it all went well(recompiling and flashing) but the clock is still there..
