[Q] language files

I'm using a custom rom,and now that stock rom for my region is published,I want to extract language files (system and dictionaries+keyboards and fonts) from stock rom and inject them to the custom rom that I'm using,so any help is appreciated to find which files do I need to extract from stock rom.

Theoretically, however, reminds you that the app I am not alone but also the framework apk etc. .. must pay attention.. Help to get into a rom, and can for example extract the launcher or gps.conf or apk predefinit of the Rom and then copy them to root through esplorer in our folder system / app . -1.extract the file from system.rfs -2 and install magic iso and go to open the rfs .. app folder you will find the system app .. conf files in the etc etc for gps. APKTool is able to reverse engineer the binaries of Android applications. With it you can de-compile and get an apk files that make up the apk.
Beware though that being a compiled language java bytecode, executable in the case of the Android Dalvik machine, do not get the files. Class with the java code readable plaintext file but. Smali containing assembly code of the virtual machine (assembler / disassmbler smali) . Will be easier to understand and modify resource files in the directory / res, usually they are xml files and png images that you can modify and then recompile the apk...download Apk tool here: http://www.androidlab.it/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=13 .. 1. Unpack the zip file you just downloaded and APKTool.zip command prompt / shell posizioniamoci within the directory APKtool 2. execute the following command:
apktool framework-if res.apk
we get the result back edge
I: Framework installed to: C: \ Users \ username \ apktool \ framework \ 1.apk. 3. Now we copy the apk in the same folder that we want to de-compile and impart the following command
apk apktool d-name-it-de-compilare.apk
upon completion of the directory APKtool find a folder with the same name of the app that we have de-populated.
We can now go take a look at the file and change where we see fit. 4. To translate the application should modify the files in / res / values-en, if the folder is not present we should create and copy into a folder other values-xx files arrays.xml strings.xml and then edit translating the texts into Italian. 5. after making the changes we should rebuild our apk with the following
apktool b-name-from-complete apk
in the directory with the same name of the app that we previously de-compiled find two new folders
dist / build / ..--- 6. in the / dist find our apk, remember that the resulting file has no signature, to sign our package we can use this. sign or unsign” i file Apk download here: http://goo.gl/9aWVM

[GUIDE][WINDOWS][HOW-TO] Deodex CM7.2 Or Any ROM Manually

I know this is an old news, but I think most of people out there or in here wondering
if they could deodex their CM7.2 or other ROM correctly. After trying every kitchen/apps
etc. to deodex, it's seems worthless. Moreover, as newbie, setting up the kitchen is so
complicated & frequently giving me a hard time. But no worries, these are the steps on
how to deodex ROM manually
NOTE:
1 THIS METHOD HAVE ALREADY DONE ONLY BY WINDOWS
2 THIS METHOD IS BASICALLY WORKS ON ANY ROM
3 BEFORE ASK ANYTHING, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE MAIN THREAD FIRST
Requirements:
1 The Manual-Deodexer.zip [in attachments below]
2 A working brain :silly:
3 All framework files
4 APK/JAR to deodex
5 A working PC of course
STEP A: Setup a working folder
1 Extract the Manual-Deodexer.zip
2 Create a folder named "Deodexer" [any place] in your PC [EXAMPLE: D:/Deodexer]
3 Place all of the files included in Manual-Deodexer.zip to the "Deodexer" folder
[baksmali.jar, smali.jar, java.awt.jar, busybox, dexopt-wrapper, zipalign.exe]
STEP B: Deodexing All JARs First [system/framework]
1 Place all of your framework files also in "Deodexer" folder
2 Deodexing framework files [I'll use android.policy.jar for a start]
3 Run CMD in mentioned folder [Shift + Right Click] & type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali.jar -c :core.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:core-junit.jar -x android.policy.odex
THIS WILL CREATE "out" FOLDER
4 Make sure the "out" folder is there, then in CMD, type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
THIS WILL CREATE "classes.dex"
5 Finally, deodex android.policy.jar:
> After the classes.dex created, directly delete both android.policy.odex & its "out" folder
> Open android.policy.jar with 7ZIP without extracting
> Drag the classes.dex in the 7ZIP window in the root folder
> Close the 7ZIP & you've deodexed android.policy.jar
[REPEAT THE SAME STEP FOR OTHER JARs 1 BY 1] [ON MY CM7.2, I GOT 19 JAR Files]
> So, basically repeat the steps for 19 times :laugh:
STEP B: Deodexing APK [system/app]
1 Place any APK you want to deodex also in "Deodexer" folder [I'll use SystemUI.apk for example]
2 Run CMD in mentioned folder [Shift + Right Click] & type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali.jar -c :am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:core.jar:core-junit.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:java.awt.jar:javax.obex.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:services.jar:sqlite-jdbc.jar:svc.jar -x SystemUI.odex
THIS WILL CREATE "out" FOLDER
3 Make sure the "out" is there & in CMD type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
THIS WILL CREATE "classes.dex"
4 Finally deodex SystemUI.apk:
> After the classes.dex created, directly delete both SystemUI.odex & its "out" folder
> Open SystemUI.apk with 7ZIP without extracting
> Drag the classes.dex in the 7ZIP window in the root folder
> Close the 7ZIP windows & you've deodexed SystemUI.apk
[REPEAT THE SAME STEPS ON OTHER APK YOU WANT TO DEODEX]
STEP C: Zipaplign Deodexed APK For Performances [OPTIONAL][ONLY APK]
1 In the same CMD prompt windows, type:
Code:
zipalign -v 4 "anyapk".apk zip_"anyapk".apk
2 A zip_"anyapk".apk file will be created. Delete your original deodexed "anyapk".apk
& rename zip_"anyapk".apk to the original "anyapk".apk you've deleted
3 Install it normally or push it to system/app [rw-r-r] method
NOTE:
1 TO DEODEXED Emails.apk & MobilePrint.apk YOU'LL NEED ANOTHER COPY OF "java.awt.jar"
2 IT IS DEODEX, SO BASICALLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN THE APK
