Hi Guys! I am trying to modify the framework-res.apk of my bro's Micromax A70 with PNGs from trettet's CosmicExperia ROM. This Q is abt. A70, but related to P-500, so I think you guys can help me out. I've searched & tried everything, but nothing seems to be working. Its been more than 2 weeks here messing up and I've tried almost EVERYTHING possible and useful I came across.
I replaced those btn_check buttons, radio buttons, zoom in-out buttons, not. icons including battery, Wi-Fi, GPS, data and other such. The point is, I've replaced them accurately, deleted the extra PNGs and the no. of PNGs are same in both original and Modded apk. Moreover I've checked each and every PNG with their names and also, each *.9.png is properly 9-patched...!!!
Here's what I tried to change them:-
First tried APK-multitool, the apk got compiled succesfully, but after replacing it with original one, I am getting crash at the boot up.
Again, i searched for the prob., and got that APK-multitool doesn't seem to work correctly with sys apps and has bugs in compiling process. So I tried apktool(apktool.jar), and manually decompiled apk with commands, made changes and again recompiled, but got the same results.
NOTE:-In both the above cases, i tried unsigned as well as signed apks, also I Zipaligned the signed apk.
For replacing APK:-
I tried creating update.zip, but after flashing, I simply get crash at boot up!!
Next, I tried to include the framework-res.apk in ROM itself. Replaced the framework apk with modded one and again built it with kitchen, flashed it, but that didn't work even...........!!!
Finally, I tried a "reframe.sh" script for replacing apk with the terminal, but no luck still......
NOTE:- I didn't/can't try ADB Push, 'cause i don't have phone with me......
What can be the problem?? Am I missing something?? PLZ. guys help me out, I am really fried up with the F*****ing problems and its all getting REALLY WEIRED here!!! HELP REQUIRED ESPECIALLY FROM DEVS AND THEMERS!!!!!!!
Thanks In Advance.....

the a70 framework is like that a little change makes it stuck at logo or boot loops ...
follow the below method to make it work ...
In apk manager select this settings..
compression level =0
1.first change the images using any tool like apkmanager and recompile it ...
2.now again select the recompiled unsignedframework-res.apk and extract it ...now again using the apkmanager zip the apk ..
3.now zipalign the unsignedunsignedframework-res.apk manually and flash it ..then it will work...

Hi sam, I tried what you said, but when i decompile apk for the first time, and agiain compile it with apk-multitool, the compiled apk contains a "keep" folder in it!! I think it's gone mad!!
This I've seen for the first time! previously, there were always only assets, res, androidmanifest, and metainf files. So i tried apktool.jar manually. It recompiled properly.
Now, i placed the compiled apk in the modding folder of apk-mutitool. first extracted the the apk i.e. option no. 2, and then zip it again, i.e option no.3, right?? but now inside the zipped file, is see this- project\unsignedframewok-res.apk\assets, res, androidmanifest, and metainf , that should be directly in the root of the zip. Also due to this the file doesn't get zipaligned!!!
HELP!!!!!!

As far as my experience goes ,you will have to delete the files you modified from the keep folder (if you changed any XML also delete resource.arsec) and continue with the batch script(it will tell u to do so after asking you If you want to copy unchanged files)

Hey
I'd like to change some pictures in the framework, but I don't really understand the signing procedure.
So I found the App Ninja Morph, that can change pictures within an apk. Does this work with the framework-res.apk?
Thank you

And no need to sign if u use the right zip program

OK thank you very much.
So there are two easy ways to modify the framework-res.apk right?
First one with Ninja Morph an the second with 7Zip (and I think with adb? because with Root Explorer it failed...) Or are there more?
Ninjamorph will only mod pics within an apk whereas u can push an entire apk with adb.
Ive managed to use winrar instead of 7zip to accomplish the same result!

There are two basic methods for changing icons. 1) using ninjamorph and only using the device. 2) using 7zip, winrar,etc on your pc to make the changes them moving the modified apk to your phone.
Are you getting any specific errors and what are you trying to change? I assume your phone is rooted, busybox installed and superuser set to allow?

i'm not getting an error at all... everything does fine.. but after i reboot there is no change at all... and i'm just confused on how to edit it on the computer... b/c they say open it but don't extract.. so how can i change the files without extracting? and yes i'm rooted.. and have busybox
i'm trying to change icons in the notification bar......
Are the images you are replacing the right file type? Afaik its not a problem...
On the pc if you are using 7zip, right click on the framework and hit open archive.
Check out calums theme sticky for further instruction if you take that route.

why this happened? can someone help to do the right things on my x10 and change the icons and status bar colors in my phone
THANKS A LOT!
How to use Ninja Morph
After reading of others success using Ninja Morph I purchased it. I replaced one image in my Framework-res.apk. When I finalize the project, should I select that the project needs to be installed or just copied? How do you move the new apk into the active configuration on the phone? Do I need to use ADB to push it?
As the title says, anyone hav tried changing their bootanimation?
Can we used apps tht can chg our boot animation on the market? Izzit compatible..?
Im getting bored with the defaut se logo, thinking of chging to other boot animation tht is available out there...

well there's a lot of bootanimation.zip in xda that people uploaded (not in this arc section) that i wanna try, so that's why im asking if i can just use the .zip file replacing it with our bootanimation.zip in system/media..
i guess i can try the uot kitchen tht u mentioned, thanx but its limited to the one tht they provided, right? n which one shud i choose? the galaxy s GB rom?
Can be done thru root explorer also.
Just find a BA u like on google or whatever even youtube.
Dl it ,
move to system ,
Rename it to bootanimation.zip
set premissions (rw-r--r--)
Move to system/media
Overwrite current BA
Reboot
Enjoy
Be careful when changing system files as it can result in boot loop.which means re-flashing thru seus
Only try it if your confident or willing to reflash
Ps: backup orignal

You should be able to use any bootanimation but just ask which 1 u want and ask if it would work or try it yourself and see if it works

I just change my bootanimation with green burning android (don't know what it named exactly) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13933946&postcount=1 change it with root explorer like pushtostop said. just remember to change permission before you reboot and always make backup your original bootanimation.
It's worked, something laggy in first 5 sec animation but smooth afterward.
I dont know how you lost the status bar I have basically changed everything on mine what u can possibly so anyway and never had anything missing but some people might but uot is defo a good place to go
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
so basically if using uot..
choose bootanimation available
upload framework-res.apk n systemui.apk
upload to kitchen
waiting for it to finish
when done, download it n save it to ur pc
extract it
change the extracted file in system/media to bootanimation.zip
put the zip file into the phone
change the permission
paste it in system/media
right?
n izzit normal the bootanimation.zip file can be as small as under 100kb?
Just double click on the uot folder what u downloaded then find bootanimation.zip or whatever its called and copy paste make sure permissions are the same aswell should be fine

Hi - you don't need systemui.apk for some things.. and you don't need framework-res.apk for boot animation - it's not linked to that...
you can just create a boot animation and then put it on your phone, and because it's not active when you move it across you don't need to drop it in the system directory first..
you can put it straight into the media folder, change the perms (rw-r--r--) then reboot.. and as pushtostop said.. it works.. it really does.. Ive got the CIA one now.. geek.. but cool!!
[EDIT - bit more info.. The file that you get out of UOT for this is layered..
open the ZIP and go into the SYSTEM folder..
Then go into the MEDIA folder.
now right click and COPY the SANIM.ZIP folder.
PASTE this outside of the UOT ZIP somewhere.
rename it to BOOTANIMATION.ZIP
move to SD card.
USE ROOT EXPLORER to copy the BOOTANIMATION.ZIP into the system/media folder.
Change permissions to rw-r--r--
reboot.
done.]

Its best to move to system,then do premissions,then put in system media.not sure if it will cause probs wit BA but will with systemui and
framework-res .
its a good habit yo get into.
Just my exp ,glad it worked for u
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Hi..yes..you do have to do it in 2 stages for systemui and framework because they are active whilst you're using the phone.. But the BA is only active while booting so there's no conflict..
And advice for anyone getting a bootloop - you can re flash system image and retain user data.. There's a check box on flash tool on the right near the top when selecting which ftf to use..

Original problem has been fixed, therefor I'm editing this instead of creating a new thread
So just ignore the 3 first comment
Whenever I compile framework-res after decompiling it (Even if I haven't modified anything) it goes from 8 MB to 5 MB!
And when I try to install it on my phone, its just boot-looping.
I have tried both APK Manager and APK Tool without any luck.
It doesn't help to pull the file again either.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I have the same errors. I think that's a problem of apktool. Try some different tool
You need t change ur framework under home/apktool/framework/1.apk
Replace the 1.apk with untouched stock framework-res.apk renamed to 1.apk....u will be out of trouble then
I use baksmali e smali for decomile/compile

I downloaded a custom rom based on ICS and unzip the file then I add some app.apk to data/app and rezip it.
I tried to run zip in recovery but coudn't.
My question is that, why it didn't work??
Originally is it possible to add app.apk to same folder of a custom rom and then install the rom with my favorite apps??
Thanks for answering me.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
You can use 7zip "free download" to modify roms. It allows you to edit the rom without extracting it. Download the program and read the tutorial. Basically when you extract a rom you change the file association and it needs to be resigned. Also when you swap out and or add apps,files,etc you have to edit the update script to reflect the changes. You can google to find out more. This is just my understanding, hope it helps.

If u unzip the file, it will lost it signed properties (something like that) which cause the file not useable. If u need to add or remove apk, just use winrar or 7z and open the file without unzipping it.

Install DSIXDA kitchen first..tutorial here
Now use an already existing custom ROM, Stock Firmware, Nandroid Backup to create your working folder..
Do whatever you want to do..
Now copy the meta-inf folder from an existing CWM flashable ROM..and paste it into your working folder..
Select the system folder, boot.img, META-INF folder and create a zip file ..
if you have modem.bin and /data/app functionality..you will have to make appropriate changes to your updater-script file..
Sign your zip using the tool i have attached..
[How To]
Extract the zip file in a folder
rename your zipped ROM as update.zip
put it in the Autosign folder
run the AutoSign.bat file
Now wait untill your zip is signed..you will get a update-signed.zip as the final ROM..

Are you getting errors when deodexing it? Is it failing to deodex ALL files or just some?
Is galaxy s3 supported as its not in the list of supported devices.

No galaxy s3 is not supported.. So you will not be able to get the complete rom out of it.. You will have to do some manual work.. Which I have stated in my post..
All those facing deodexing errors set the api level to 16

have you set the api level to 16..also deodex framewok and system apps together..
Do you need Linux to create a rom or you can do this on windows... i know you can get a virtual box and use linux on windows . But is there people creating roms purely on windows operating systems??

Where you able to flash the zip created by dsixda kitchen after creation??
I doubt so as the partition information of GS3 is not there in the kitchen edify_defs files the updater-script will be wrong..you will get errors while flashing..

Just use updater-script or update binary extracted from another similiar type of ROM.
Kitchen mods won't work because it uses update-script, and doesn't convert to updater-script properly.
Will likely give a Status 7 error in CWM.
Updater script could be modded manually with notepad ++.
But, you don't really need to change anything in there. except ui_print.
