I'm trying to mod an existing custom rom for my own use. Im just changing some pngs.
I unzip it, use formatter to change framework res apk to rar, unpack it. Change my pngs, repack it, use formatter to change back to apk. (Do I need to sign it?) Zip up the folder with 7zip, set compression as store.( is this correct) . But when I go to install it in cwm it wont install. I'm clearly missing a step. Someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong. Thanks

Anyone know what I'm missing. Read as many tutorials as I could find. But clearly I'm doing something wrong.

decompile system UI
what does decompile mean and how can i do it
thanks in advanced and sorry if its a noob question
it means opening it up to view and edit the files inside, such as layouts and png images etc.
you can use apktool for things like this, some changes can be made with 7zip or notepad++ but i think you need apktool to recompile it, otherwise it will fail when installing.
You can use 7z to change what ever you want that is visible in the archive. but if it includes the values folder which is enbedded in resources.asrc then you will need to decompile > change > recompile

Its a pc based software, some versions will or will not decompile/recompile properly on Ics/JB so you need to download one which is complete, some use two versions but there is a version apktools ics which works ok on jellybean, however depending on what you decompile some errors may need manual fixing.
Can anybody describe me how to decompile this apk? I was trying with apktool and apkmultitool with no luck..
You should be able to use winrar. If your wanting to modify files, just pull them out, modify, then drag and drop back into the winrar window to replace the existing ones.

No, it's more complicated than that. If you want to do any. Xml editing you need apktool.
There is enough information about this in the apktool thread in the general android hacking and software section

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
Hey everyone..
Currently, I am trying to change one value in the res/values/drawables.xml file of the Xperia V .145 framework-res.apk file...
Decompiling works perfectly, no errors..
When recompiling, Apktool shows a warning, that one string is missing in some languages.. Should not be much of an issue.
When recompiling is done, the framework file shows a parse error.. I have tried signing it, but this didn't work... Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Btw, would it work to paste the resources.arsc file from my modified framework into the base framework-res?
Any help would be appreciated!
(Also, if I don't get it to work myself, might there be a nice guy that does the mood for me?
It's only replacing two numbers, no problem usually

Update... Just tried another framework-res.apk.. Works perfectly after recompiling..
So it must be an issue with the .145 framework..
Hmm.. Can I mix frameworks of different firmware versions?
Edit: Nevermind.. Even framework-res.apk from .140 firmware has the parse error after recompiling.
I have no idea how to do this! >.<
Might it be an issue with Apktool app for Android?
