Hi, for the tools needed see post 2 in my theme thread. Report back when you've got them installed and we can progress. Don't ask me to find the download links for you. lol

Tools Needed:
Android SDK package - add the (sdkpath)/tools folder to your windows environment variable. -> DONE!
Version 1.3.1 (not 1.3.2) of APKTool. -> DONE!
Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks (or other advanced image editing software). -> I don't want to edit images! I use images I found from other themes!
PSPad Editor (or other valid xml editor). -> DONE! ..but I prefere NotePad++ Editior
Latest version of the NeonGT theme. -> I have your Jumba's_NeonGT_JPY_1.8.3_bb.zip theme you told me to use as teamplate: is it ok?
PNGOptimizer. -> I don't want to edit images! I use images I found from other themes!
7-zip. -> DONE!

Am I ok for starting?
All I need is managing with replacing images and related trasparencies.
An example: I have a trasparent Dialer and would like to change the trasparency, the look of some tabs getting images from other dialers, and then importing all the work done in the Dialer of last Darky's ROM.
I have already putted all the neutral/dummy/trasparent images from the trasparent dialer into the dialer that I want to edit, but now I see all those images as black with no trasparency.
Am I correct if I say that now I need to make changes to some .xml files to set the trasparency??
Ps: I already decompiled the .apk I would like to edit and I get errors decompiling this dialer using APKTool 1.3.1:

You need to set your framework-res.apk as the file used to decode... like so:
apktool if c:\whatever\yourframework-res.apk sgs
Then:
apktool d -t sgs c:\whatever\DialerTabActivity.apk c:\decoded\dialer
Then make your edits and compile using:
apktool b c:\decoded\dialer c:\out\DialerTabActivity.apk
After this don't forget to copy the META-INF folder over from the old apk into the new one.
If you're looking to make it transparent there's a guide around here somewhere. You need to change some xmls too. Sometimes some 9.png images don't decompile properly... you'll need to recreate those somehow.

My guess is you need to set twframework-res as package 2 somehow? But I've never seen that error...
Try replacing the 1.apk and 2.apk files in the install folder with your renamed framework and twframework-res.apk's. Then you don't have to use the -t switch when decompiling.

When I installed the app, in Document and Setting I only have the 1.apk file..no 2.apk one.
I'll try with what you say.
About the residencies, applying it is it all the same technique for write all menu or every menu has different file involving and I must go searching for them?

From my unserstanding you need to use the frameworks that the file you're decoding depends on... I've always just used the fw-res and twfw-res from the rom I'm using without issues.
It seems to be looking for dependencies that aren't available in the frameworks you are using. Perhaps try and get the files that match the dialer you downloaded, or try another dialer.

The fact is that I have tryed with Darky's ROM v9.1 Dialer and its frameworks files, and I get the same problem.
This means he used different files mixed together for making the theme??
In the mean time I'll try with a stock rom files and let you know if it is like you say.

I tryed to get framework files from Darky's ROM v9.2 and rename framework-res.apk in 1.apk and twframework-res.apk in 2apk, place them in the Documents and Settings folder of apktool and try them on the DialerTabActivity.apk from same Darky's v9.2.

Much better, yes, but you'll still need to replace those files at some stage. APKTool will have replaced those with dummy files. See for yourself - they will be there but are probably 0 bytes. You can most likey compile the dialer as-is then copy those .9.png files back into the apk afterwards or replace them with new ones.

Oh..but can't I just replace them now before compiling? Do I have to do this after when the apk file is already done?!?
Ps: I have to edit 2 images. Do I have to use Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks + PNGOptimizer?? I don't have Photoshop and Fireworks, and never used them, so I'm a little bit noob with those....
If you want to replace. 9.png images before compiling you'll need to re-create the 9-patch info (the thin black lines around the edges of the image) else it won't compile. If this isn't possible for some reason then you can add the original compiled ones in afterwards. I can send you the pre-compiled images that you are missing when I get home later if you like... but take some time to read up on how 9-patches work, it could save you some headaches in the future.

The fact is that those images are modded images from the creator of the modded Dialer: in the thumbs they look all like a big black square, but if I open them they look all blank trasparent.
Probably he added them after compiling the .apk as you say.
I think I'd better do the same.
About modding the images I told you up here, I aldready did with a free tool

......sorry. I haven't made that kind of searhing on xda.
Ps: I realized that you have made Glass Dialers your self.
I have done one based on GlassDialer with Darky's rom icons that works good...but it lags in the Logs and Favourite menues because my LiveWallpaper is heavy, so I was looking for remove trasparency from underneath the 2 squares Logs and Favourites on top of list (between Keypad and Contacts squares) and see if I could even remove trasparency underneath all the Log and Favourite listing, so to have trasparency only when the Keypad is loaded
Do you understand what I'm looking for doing?
Hello,
I have tried a few times to change the Icons and status bar icons on my Insert Coin rom but it will not work, I can change the battery icon and pop up window stuff with no problems.
I am uploading the com.htc.resources.apk, framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and checking the Data++ box.
Can anybody help?
Cheers

If I do have to upload framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk, which directory do I find them in? Been poking around my ROM and could only find framework-res.apk so far. My ROM details are in my signature
Htc resources is with the framework and systemui is in /system/app. I always upload my files since it always works.
Swyped...
I'm also not able to change these icons with GingerVillain (2.6). I tried to push the system-ui and framework-res per adb, but it didn't work too. It should be possible with insertcoin (it is deodexed)

same problem here. IC 1.1.0., with CM 3.x recovery. i used kitchen's files, creating and flashing goes well but no change is visible upon boot up...
ok, adb push did work for me...IC GB 1.1.0. rom...
unable to upload com.htc.resources.apk
Ok...so i've been playing in the kitchen and for some reason, it wont let me click the upload button for com.htc.resources.apk and i'm running NilsP Business Gingersense, so it IS a Gingerbread rom with sense, so i do need to upload that file...anyone else having problems with this? maybe what ever i didnt change uses that file, so the fact that i'm not changing anything to that file, it wouldnt let me upload it? i hope thats it.....
Ok..it was because the kitchen was closed for a bit....

Use Wanam ICS Apk Manager or a modified apktool (I don't have the link but you search xda).
I use these two tools without issues but you might find Wanam ICS apktool much easier to use.

This compiling and decompiling process drove me mad untill i started using GanGs_KiD Kitchen, i use this kitchen for compiling and decompiling and then i use apk manager for signing, when u start GanGs_KiD Kitchen choose option 41 to create a done folder which inside it you'll find two folders one is done app & the second one is done framework, copy framework-res & twframework-res apk from your rom to the done framework folder, now choose option 42 that is going to install the needed resources to compile & decompile the system apk. go here to download the GanGs_KiD Kitchen : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581549

is there any way of converting a Miui .mtz to an apk?
I like a couple of the picture frames on Miui (taped and polaroids), but cannot find them.
here is another trick,
delete classes.dex before decompiling. keep it somewhwere and copy it again after recompiling.
sometimes you need to delete anything in apk but these to work:
res
androidmanifest.xml
resources.arsc
META-INF
assets
but you should copy them back in compiled apk again.
I have no idea why this works, I just tried it and it worked.

I've attached the right framework-res.apk.
Has anyone successed in decompile system apps from android 5?

I havent tested with lollipop yet, but you need to add both framework resources on Kitkat. framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk
type in terminal
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if lge-res.apk
then you can try to decompile apps... but i warn you that you can't decompile lollipop apps yet because apktool is still buggy on lollipop

apktool has an error. if you look at c/user/apktool/framework apktool has an error, you will see that there 0.apk and 1.apk.
should have 1.apk and 2.apk.
This error is accepted from dev.

As others stated, apktool is buggy on Lollipop apps. The only way I've found to decompile Lollipop apps is to do "apktool d -r appfile.apk". That decompiles the classes.dex itself, not the resources, but as I'm not sure what you're trying to do, I thought I'd leave my two cents.

That's odd. Must be the way that LG compiled their apps. It works fine with stock (AOSP) Lollipop apps.
LGCover.apk start with 0x1 + 0x18 + $application/octet-streamre8Z/[email protected]—pEncryption-Method: AES128CBC;padding=RFC2630;plaintextlen=0000378580
all the apks should start with dex\n035\0 (LGSystemUI, LGAlarmClock... all start with dex\n035\0)
that's why you need lge-res.apk to decompile them but right now apktool is not compatible with lollipop lge-res.apk

So you say that the problem is with lge-res? what is this file for?
lge-res.apk is the resource apk for lg framework and is requested to make lg apps to work and to decompile too

so why there is also framework-res?
because framework-res is the framework for all other android apps
Apktool RC3 should work with Lollipop apps but - as I already reported the issue - it does not work with the LG system apps. See the conversation with iBotPeaches here.
