What is the size of zip that you downloaded? It should be 205MB. Maybe your download is corrupted.
In zip - settings.apk is in "priv-app" folder, not in system/app.

Did you put in into the folder system/framework with the phone turned on with some file explorer, right? Not with a flashable zip from recovery.
You just won a reflashing using LG software tools

Yes, but if you don't do it flashing from recovery, you get bootloop.
You can flash it now with flashable zip from recovery (did you have NOVA rom so you can boot directly into recovery?) connecting the sdcard to the computer and pasting a flashable zip for framework.
I tried to modify the framework-res.apk file and then i putted it in the right place but i've briked the phone.
My PC can't read the phone (NO LG software recovery), NO ADB (ex reboot recovery), No hard reset.. there's not a configuration to put it in hard reset.
i've sended it to LG Assistance.. i wish that they can format and recovery the phone.
Sorry for English!

Many thanks,

just used this. twice great kitchen, really revamped some of the more boring icons on stock roms. thanks for the tip!!
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_signed.zip is the file that I updated the updater-script so you can flash it in the in-build recovery.
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_original_signed.zip is your original file. If there are any issues, you can flash it back in the in-build recovery.
How to:
Copy the zip file to the internal SD card, not the external one, go to recovery, flash it.

can i use it on 2.3.6 rom?
nope because you will end up in a bootloop by flashing this
its only for XXKP4
urm, Ive tried to do as you told in post number 2(by cooking it according to my own preference)
but my problem starts from step number 5
5. Update the updater-script file, resign the zip file.

I already received the cooked file
but I dont know how to change the update script and end up failing to update using the zip file.
can you please help me?
or link me to a place that really can help me to learn better on changing the update script.
try this one, I updated the updater-script, you can compare it with the one from kitchen.
PS: Forgot to update the update-binary file, now try the new one. It should work.
Thanks!!!! But I got an error that states
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 2)
I wonder whats wrong.
looked in a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194245&page=3
and from what I understand it seems to be a problem with the update binary. But Im just an end user and this is too much for me.
anyway maybe Ill try to flash the cranium ROM and try to cook again a new one and use your update script.
cheers!!
Hi,
Is there any posibility to change framework-res.apk file without CWM? I don't want to instal CWM becouse of it has a problem with front side cam and I need this cam. It's can't be overwritten when the phone works. Maybe some adb and push command is possible.
Could you help me by describing the whole procedure? Sorry for my English.
@quest221
Can you maybe make one for Android 2.3.5 like the screenshot @ page 1?
I have baseband I9001XXKPF, Build XXKPG
I update the zip file with the new update-binary file.

Yes, I just use the recovery from Samsung, not the third-party.
Check the post #2, that's the steps. Also replace the update-binary file with the one in my zip file.

Yes it is if you know to make a cwm zip .or if you dont,download a cwm flashable mod and edit it for your work
Download 7 zip you can use it to edit files without unzipping. Use NotePad ++ to edit build.prop and pretty much anything else for that matter

You can use 7-Zip to add or remove file from the cwm zip. You can also edit the script (text) file in it.

Remember some of the apps have the associate library files. You need to load these files into the system/lib folder before the apps can run.

Actually, i have to read about creating a cwm zip file. After that, i can maybe be able to make a zip to install whatever i have.
Thanks for your help...
(It was a bit easer in winmo times. You could just make a new folder with your cab files and after rom installation they could be installed)

For that we need custom recovery, like we had TWRP in GB. Developers are working on it, and soon we will have that. Meanwhile you can reflash whole firmware.
You can try to use zip file from Shaan's root. Just delete system/app, and system/bin, and put build.prop in system folder. But I am not sure if it will work this way.
I attached how I think it should work. If you got any more bootloops editing it, try it.
i cant,i dont have a pc,
i went to my frnd twice and flashed twice today,it feels bad to go to others house

Maybe you better wait for custom recovery. With it would be lot easyer. You will have backup to restore.
I just tried it, it is not working because of signature.
Reboot phone In recovery mode, connect usb, run adb shell In PC:
su
mount -o remount system /system
cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop
reboot
(Assuming u have a backup build.prop In /sdcard)

I did not try, but I think you can. Just make it CWM compatibile. I have empty zip that is compatibile with TWRP, but I do not know if it is compatibile with CWM. I will try it later.

This CWM is buggy. When I press option install from SD - it refresh. I needed 3 times to push restart to get phone restarted. I am waiting for fully working CWM, and I will try then. I am not pushing my luck after problems with TWRP last time.
YES solid explorer works,
changed to S2,
RESOLVED
Use another .zip that extract things to system, if u replace files In the cwm zip it wont work because of the update-script inside

Man, you just saved my phone by this zip. Thank you
Hi, I know this is an old h thread but I'm pretty sure this will be handy to someone
Try this app for an easy way to make an update.zip It's still in beta but seems to be working fine on my N7100 so give it a go...
