I want to create themes for the ROM with the stock base .But I do not know how
sorry for my english

1) Download stock 2.3 system dump
2) Extract "framework-res.apk" located /system/framework & "SemcGenericUxpRes.apk"
3) Open .apk files with WinRAR or any other software
4) Navigate to "res/" and copy extract whole "drawable-hdpi" folder
5) Here you will get thousands of PNGs you can edit, the only PNGs you can't edit is pictures with ".9" in their name
Feel free to ask any questions if you're confused sry for late reply

can't apply new theme on the latest firmware

Hi Guys,
there's a custom rom over here (CM 6.1.3 V4 out [Tweaked+Theme+Extras]). From this, i want to add the anims and drawable-hdpi images to the latest official Eclair (2.1) ROM. but no matter how i try, it bricks the phone.
does anyone have any idea?
i replace the files with winrar (don't extract it, just simply overwrite the files within winrar) then using x10 mod tool to move the modified framework-res.apk to the system/framework/ folder.
so any ideas would be lovley. and also, is there a way to check if it works on android sdk? i don't wanna keep restoring the phone all the time
thanks a lot!
not a single answer?
The images are not named the same across all roms so you'll have to look at each image and rename it to the corresponding one in the other drawable-hdpi folder. I don't know an easy way to do this, but I'd love to find one!

+1 on this too. I know you can set up a virtual x10-like device but I don't know if it can preview a theme or how...

i just did it again,this is the way...
extract the all the drawable-ldpi folder and look at the last pic.tha t is the one you want to replace.then put it back to the .apk!
dont do it via adb or while the .apk is in a .zip
it has to be just framework-res.apk in the desktop

no need to zip or anything
just put it back like you would in any other folder.
just:
1 open apk with 7zip
2 replace the wallpaper
3 make sure you did it (close the 7zip window and check the wallpaper again
4 close the window and push the apk to the phone

thanks for link, i follow your guide to de-compile SystemUI.apk for editing, i used the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803813 to edit my systemui and when i move new systemui.apk to my phone, i lost my notification . I think i didn't understand exactly these sentences in you guide "Before using the new apk you need to extract the resources.arsc, then simply put it back in the new apk overwriting the original resources.arsc.
In WinRar it will give you the option to choose the compression method, and it's vital that you choose Store as the compression method..."
The resources.arsc file i have to put in the new apk is the one in the decompiled apk folder ?
Sorry for my poor english. THanks

No, it's the one from the newly built apk, simply extract it then add it straight back.

I dont know i was wrong in which step to change " dropdown background " into picture

[Q] Rom Development Issues

Hi.
I am trying to build custom rom for Galaxy Note(N7000)
I am trying to build a custom rom with base as stock rom(XXLT5)
I went through some tutorials on XDA, but they were only some basic stuff.
I had lot of questions in mind,and after searching for hours didn't get some help,so posted so maybe some one can help.
I flashed my own rom with some build.prop tweaks and changed wallpaper in framework-res.apk.
But it flashed with no problems.
1] I had lost root but I used Philz kernel(copied all stuff into respective folder)
2]I don't get about the META-INF Folder because I tried to put some s4 mods such as sec.settings.apk,s4 status bar,they also had META-INF but I didn't know what to do with it. I copied the apk of sec.settings into preload /syslink/system/app.
3]When the rom started default-wallpaper didn't changed and any mods didn't applied,so don't know what to do.
Can please any-one say what should I do,and where to put META_INF folder,because all apks aur mods has META_INF folder and will replace every time I put a mod in it.
Please Help Guys.....
please explain it more, didn't get you, what you actually want to do ?

What is use of META_INF, if want to replace some system apk,there is a meta inf folder in that too, so If I extract it in rom,so it will replace the META_INF folder in the rom.
