[Q] The secret of editing framework-res.apk

Hello everyone!
I have tried and tried to customize framework-res.apk, and what a nightmare!! I made a script that works all fine when using Defrost 2.9a and 2.5, but if i try Cyanogenmod or Defrost 3.0, i get force close. When I modify both xml and images.
What am I doing wrong?
Bestest of best regards,
Jonas Hald

As i get it, that doesnt work when I edit the xml, then it has to be recompiled?

Sure
If u change the code it has to be Recompiled ;-)

Yeah, so I do
But i get force close in cyanogen and DF 3.0 - but the Circle Mod online framework modifier can do it, without force close.

Are you sure its not semi-edit the files? I think there are just various versions of the framework.

Semi-edit the files?

So i'm trying to edit the status bar background.png file. I've made a copy of the framework, changed it to zip, replaced file, changed back to apk. But the systems folder is read only. how do i go about changing it to 'write' so I can replace the frameworks???
Also, if my background is transparent, do i also need to change something in the xml if I want the new background to be a solid color

you need to compile apktool from source in order to make it work. They've patched the code, but no new official version since then.

wallpapers are usually found in the systemui apk or in the framework-res apk which are found in the priv-app folder, use 7-zip or another zip utility to unpack the apk then search for "wallpaper"
sometimes if its a stock rom it will be in a similar file such as "lgsystemui.apk" or lge-res.apk or framework-res.apk etc

No, in system/app/Lghome optimus theme decompile it

Don't need decompile. Just intall RootBrowser - it has option to view app inside without decompile. When you find what you need just extract.

[SOLVED]Can't edit SystemUI.apk on galaxy A5 lollipop

Hey guys, so i really hate touchwiz and there's no ROM for A5 so i just wanted to edit some things in SystemUI.apk (i did this editing before and i was successful) but after upgrading to lollipop everytime i change every single thing in the apk after rebooting i get "unfortunately SystemUI has stopped" and the only thing i can do is to delete it from system and replace it with the stock one and reboot.

Resolusltion not solution! And I did it as I messaged you. Changing resolution of the files, put them in the right folder (A5 was xhdpi) And compress them to apk again And put it in the system And finally reboot

Oos animations port request

Hello XDA community,
Is there anyone here who could port the oos animations to aosp/caf based roms as a flashable framework mod or a substratum theme since substratum support custom animations. I would do it for myself but I dont know how.
I would even be happy if someone eventually has a explanation/guide how to do it then I can try it for myself.
Thanks
Best Regard CroW_D

The animations are located in res/anims within framework-res.apk
To extract them from OOS you need to grab framework-res.apk from OxygenOS (it's in system/framework). I haven't done any mods for a while now, but replacing the anim files inside the framework-res.apk of your rom with the ones from oxygen os should work. I'd do a backup before trying this. I used to be quite nitty so what I used to do was decompile both framework-res.apk with apktool, replace the anim files after decompiling, then recompile your framework-res.apk
If you have the framework-res.apk from your rom i don't mind doing a test zip for you to try

No systemui crashes for me. Just replaced the anim folder from oos with the current one you have on the custom ROM but make sure you have to redone this every time you flash an update of the custom rom. Meiby you picked always the old framework res apk. And replaced it can causes the issue.

Did this work. Can anyone share the file.
