Edit: I figured out how to successfully edit framework-res for HTC Sense 3.6. I google'd the problem and found quite a bit of people having trouble with framework-res for Sense 3.6, so I figured I'd post a little guide on how to do it.
1. Download APK-Multitool and extract it to your C:/ directory.
2. Run the "Setup" batch file and use option 3.
3. Copy "Framework-res.apk" to the "Other" and "place-apk-here-for-modding" folders inside your APKMultitool folder.
4. Your going to need to run the "Setup" batch file again if you closed the terminal window. Choose option 2 which installs the framework.
5. Run the "Script" batch file and choose option 10 "Decompile apk with dependencies"
6. Locate the com.htc.resources.apk inside the same folder you took framework-res.apk. Drag com.htc.resources.apk onto the terminal window, this will automatically enter the path for your dependency and install it so you can de/recompile framework-res.
7. Do whatever you need to do with framework-res.
8. Choose option 11 "Compile system apk" and follow the prompts.
That's it, you should be able to successfully de/recompile framework-res using that method.
I don't know enough about your environment or Java to be much help, but check what version jdk is recommended. You might get a better response in general forums.

I'm using the latest JDK which is version 7 (or update 7) and I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I'm using a command prompt window for apktool, but I also have cygwin which also works with apktool. Every question I post in chef central or general Q&A gets ignored, which is why I thought I'd ask here where people know me.
Anything else you need to know?
Edit: Also how do I recompile framework-res from Sense 3.6? I can decompile just fine, but I've tried multiple programs (apktool, apkmulti-tool, and Virtuous ten studio) and none of them can recompile framework-res. I only changed a line in bools.xml.

Hmm I'll give that a try. I know I tried that not long ago with android.policy, and it worked. I figured out the problem with android.policy, now I'm stuck on trying to recompile framework-res. I remember reading somewhere that certain proprietary ROM .apk's have dependencies on other ROM .apk's. I'm trying to re/decompile framework-res by itself, could that be the problem? If so which .apk do I need to use?
Appreciate you're help, thanks.

Ok, one more question and it's a pretty noob question. I can't for the life of me, find layout.xml! I even did an in-folder search for layout.xml and didn't find it. Is it not in framework-res for Sense 3.6? If so, what's the equivalent file? Or since I can't find the file, does that mean it's been depracated and I can skip that step? Sorry, I just want to be sure.
Edit: What about raws.xml? Is that also no longer in Sense 3.6 either?
I'm stuck at this part in the thread you linked to me -
go to res/values layout.xml
change this
Code:
<layout name="htc_list_item_2text_2stamp">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_2stamp</layout>
<layout name="htc_list_item_2text_bright">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_bright</layout>

Lol, yea that post wasn't what helped me, it was you're previous posts. I used APKMulti-tool to decompile with com.htc.resources as a dependency and made my changes, then it FINALLY recompiled properly!
Taking some time from theme to get all of this info out right now before I forget it. This is going to be a place to put system text edits and what they affect. Right now I only have a couple but will add to it as I go. As always feel free to add ones that you have found.
These mods were made by thebowers outside xda. I am sharing this with you

Things needed to accomplish these changes
Apk Manager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-
7-zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Great tools for opening .apks and extracting them with out changing the extension.
framework-res.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
from your phone (since it holds the system settings).
Getting started
Pull framework-res.apk from phone by using ADB or however you would like to do this.
Download and extract Apk Manager. I usually place this in the tools directory of the Android SDK. If you do this you need to set the environment path for the directory for aapt.exe of apktool.jar to work correctly.
Take the framework-res.apk and place it in the place-apk-here-for-modding folder withing the Apk Manager folder.
Click on Script.bat within the Apk Manager folder to open and run the tool.
Should ask you about clearing workspace and then something about finding ADB.Once you get passed those screens you should be at one that has number options.
For this walk through we are only concerned with the middle portion.
Now go to the Apk Manager folder and you should see an folder labelled "out". Open it to find your decompiled .apk
Go to the /res/values folder. Then go to a .xml file called styles.xml. Open this and any xml file that you decompile with notepad or notepad++
Select 9 and hit enter. It should tell you that it is decompiling the .apk. When it is done it will ask you to make a selection.
This is a big xml file which controls many aspects of the system. Don't worry I am not even going to try and explain things here. Just going to give you the areas I know and what to change.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Things within styles.xml that I know
First off is the text on buttons
Do a ctrl+f to bring up the find button.
Type widget.button and click find next. (hit find next 6 times)
You should now be at this portion of the .xml
Code:
<style name="Widget.Button" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmallInverse</item>
<item name="textColor" [user=403934]@Color[/user]/primary_text_light</item>
<item name="gravity">center</item>
<item name="background">@drawable/btn_default</item>
<item name="focusable">true</item>
<item name="clickable">true</item>
</style>
Where it says primary_text_light (black) change to primary_text_dark (white).
Also you could delete the whole @Color/primary_text_light and just put #ffff00ae as an example for the color code you desire.
If that is all you need save and look down for the completing instructions.
Next is the menu text (when you hit he soft key for menu)
Do ctrl + f and put in TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item and click find next.
You should now be at this area
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
</style>
Change textColorPrimaryInverse (black) to textColorPrimary (white and then black when pressed)
Also you could delete the whole ?textColorPrimary and just put #ffff00ae as an example for the color code you desire.
If that is all you need save and look down for the completing instructions.
Keyboard text (the actually text on the soft keyboard keys)
Do ctrl + f and put in Widget.KeyboardView and click find next twice
You should now be at this section
Code:
<style name="Widget.KeyboardView" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="background">@drawable/keyboard_background</item>
<item name="shadowColor">#bb000000</item>
<item name="shadowRadius">2.75</item>
<item name="keyBackground">@drawable/btn_keyboard_key</item>
<item name="keyTextSize">22.0sp</item>
<item name="labelTextSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="keyTextColor">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="keyPreviewLayout">@layout/keyboard_key_preview</item>
<item name="keyPreviewOffset">-12.0dip</item>
<item name="keyPreviewHeight">80.0dip</item>
<item name="verticalCorrection">-10.0dip</item>
<item name="popupLayout">@layout/keyboard_popup_keyboard</item>
</style>
Pretty simple, where it says keyTextColor, change that to whatever you want.
If you want to change the key text on the pop up or preview, that is located in /res/layout/keyboard_key_preview.
If that is all you need save and look down for the completing instructions.
Text highlight color
Do crtl + f and put (style name="TextAppearance") in the find box and click find next.
You should now be at this section.
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
<item name="textColorHighlight">#ffc0c0c0</item>
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHint</item>
<item name="textColorLink">#ff5c5cff</item>
</style>
Just change the textColorHighlight to whatever color you desire.
If that is all you need save and look down for the completing instructions.
Edit Text (what shows when you type in any textfield like talk, facebook, twitter, and such)
Do crtl+F for Widget.EditText and hit find next twice.
You should now be at this area.
Code:
<style name="Widget.EditText" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceMediumInverse</item>
<item name="textColor" [user=403934]@Color[/user]/primary_text_light</item>
<item name="gravity">center_vertical</item>
<item name="background">@drawable/edit_text</item>
<item name="focusable">true</item>
<item name="focusableInTouchMode">true</item>
<item name="clickable">true</item>
</style>
Where is says primary_text_light, you can change it to primary_text_dark for white text. Otherwise just do this "textColor">#ffff0000< that code is for red. Just replace with what color you want.
If you are done save and continue to finishing instructions.
Lockscreen Text
This is located in the /res/layout folder as keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land.xml.
To help out I have added a color values string to the text areas (they don't have them by default)
Grab the Lockscreen Text xmls.zip found at the bottom. Unzip
Open these files in a Hex editor like HxD.
Do a hex-string search of 08 00 00 1c. The first one is for a background color skip it.
The next eight are for the text on the screen. By default I have them set at FF FF FF FF for white.
Just remember in hex editing the color values are backwards. Save the files and add to your framework-res.apk.
I will add more later. Just wanted to get these out right now.
Completing the process
Once you are done with that file don't forget to save.
Go back to the Apk Manager grey command prompt window.
Do option 11 to compile the .apk. When that is done it will change from compiling .apk to asking you to make a decision.
Then do option 12 to sign the .apk. This is very important. Forgetting to do this will result in a boot loop.
Now go to place-apk-here-for-modding folder within the Apk Manager folder. There should now be a new file called repackaged-signed.apk . Move this file to the desktop or somewhere to rename. Rename to framework-res.apk.
You now have a new framework-res.apk with the edits you did. Either add images and what not that you want to it or go ahead and push to phone by using ADB, an update.zip, MM theme format, or move to sdcard and use Root Explorer.
If you are going to add images use 7-zip to open the .apk as an archive and navigate to the appropriate folder. I haven't tried it but you should be able to put the image file in the appropriate folder before doing option 11 to compile. Just keep in mind that if they are .9 images they will need the guides on them. Since the folders are decompiled images within them until compiled.
Enjoy your need settings. Again if you know of anything in this file or some other usefully system text edits in the framework-res.apk, let me know.

Edit: When i was a noob no one was there to reply me i don't know why so with time i learnt everything about this green Creature (Android )
I'm gonna give links for various guides to edit these files

Add features to your kernel( from XDA-U)
http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/adding-features-to-your-kernel
TIPS
Tip-1
Enable CRT screen off animation in ur phone(Will not enable animation when screen is turned on)(does not work on S5830i)
Decompile framework-res.apk
go to res/values find bools.xml and open it.
[/B]
Change this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
to this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
If this does not work, look for detailed guide with editing of services.jar
Tip-2
Change your android version and name(just a superficial change!)
1. Open your explorer.
2. Go to system/
3. There's a file named "build.prop"
4. Long press and then open in text editor.
5. Find these-
ro.build.display.id - Build Number(Default: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2)
ro.build.version.release- Android version(Default: 2.3.6)
6. Edit, Save and Reboot!
Tip-3
Make status bar transparent(Only transparent for homescreen)
1. Decompile systemui.apk
2. Go to res/layout/status_bar,xml
3.Find android:background=FF000000 and change it to android:background=000000000 for full transparency and to android:background=5F000000 for half transparency.
4.If android:[email protected] statusbar_background (this name can be different) is present in status_bar.xml then you can find the image named statusbar_background in res/drawable-ldpi( or mdpi/hdpi depending on the device) and make that image transparent via image editors!
This simply means our status bar background is drawable and we are providing proper image for it!
Will add more tips soon!

I did, but not to you
Also, is the CRT effect not able to be done on a Gingerbread-based stock rom? I decompiled my framework-res.apk with NinjaMorph but, I can't seem to find the dir [APK ROOT]/res/values nor the bools.xml file...
Another question, is it dangerous to my rom's stability if I use somebody else's framework-res.apk? (taking into account that my rom's backed up though, it's not really an issue )
Ah, my phone is a GT-S5830M (same as the GT-S5830i)

Don't replace framework-res.apk.. U'll get bricked.. If u are doing ui changes just take the pngs and replace in ur framework-res.apk! But make sure resolution is same as that of original one!

It is yes, but you can only theme images it seems with NinjaMorph, which is why it doesn't list the folders that consist mainly of xmls, which can only be edited after being decompiled.

Change your android version and name(just a superficial change!)
1. Open your explorer.
2. Go to system/
3. There's a file named "build.prop"
4. Long press and then open in text editor.
5. Find these-
ro.build.display.id - Build Number(Default: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2)
ro.build.version.release- Android version(Default: 2.3.6)
6. Edit, Save and Reboot!
Tip-3
Make status bar transparent(Only transparent for homescreen)
1. Decompile systemui.apk
2. Go to res/layout/status_bar,xml
3.Find android:background=FF000000 and change it to android:background=000000000 for full transparency and to android:background=5F000000 for half transparency.
4.If android:[email protected] statusbar_background (this name can be different) is present in status_bar.xml then you can find the image named statusbar_background in res/drawable-ldpi( or mdpi/hdpi depending on the device) and make that image transparent via image editors!
This simply means our status bar background is drawable and we are providing proper image for it!
Will add more tips soon!

don't worry if you wanted these mod for your fw.
just take one of SystemUI from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091818
open SystemUI.apk with winrar > navigate to /res/layout/ > pull lge_statusbar_expanded.xml and statusbar_expanded.xml. then pull once again lge_statusbar_expanded.xml from /layout-ldpi...
now you can replace yours with mine .xmls...
is it clear for you? remember, don't PM me for this anymore... kay...
ok i will try to just get the xml file from the one you made.
Thank you !
Thank you!:laugh:
Hey yaya, sorry for this noob question. Thats gonna be the first time that I do something like this
Is this step neccesary?
For any .apks mods, you need Deodexed .apks Click Me for the Guide
Thanks in advance
Edit: I 've read this twice and I realised that is neccesary xD. Now the problem is that I dont understand the tutorial of installing cygwin, anyway.
Thanks from Peru
