Ok. Thanks, but there should be a way to edit it? (I dont have much experience, but i have MUCH time)
Anyway, can someone post the rosie.apk, just for testing and/or etiting?
Of course You can try, but i think it`s hopeless.
1. Download one of tattoo custom ROM`s with HTC Sense UI and get Rosie.apk from /system/app folder.
2. For editing you will need ApkManager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
If decompiling or compiling doesn`t work, replace apktool (default v1.3.2) from /other folder with apktool v1.3.1

Helllo everybody
Can anybody tell me (or a link?) how I can de-odex the rootedupdate.zip version 1.21.405.2?
Thank u
http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions
how space does de-odexing save? if that is one of its benefit
I tried it with the auto deodexer from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598026
The "De-odexing process" was successful. I de-odexed the /system/framework and the /system/app folder.
But if I replace the old /app and /framework with the de-odexed ones, my device doesn't startup.
Can anybody help me?
Flash the rom and then boot with logcat and search for the problem.

I'm having the same problem, do you solve it???
@ nickiberli : Download dsixda's kitchen and install it following his directions. It has all the tools you need to get started customizing ROMs. I believe your problem is that your .zip is not being signed which is another thing that his kitchen does for you.
@ ermacwins : Basically, (I'm not 100% on this explanation) "de-odexed" .apks are simply a .zip with a different extension. This allows further customization of the .apk. "odexed" .apks are split into two files, an ".apk" and an ."odex". The "odexed" .apk still contains the information that the "de-odexed" contains but is spread across the two files. To answer your question, I don't believe that a "de-odexed" rom saves you any more space than an "odexed" rom or vice versa.
@slavatore82 : Try the stuff I posted above. It should work for you. It's the method I've been using and it works great.

When you deodex your files try to set compression level less than default. Till to 0. After deodex first boot-up might take about 10-15 min.
Dont know if this is going to shine light to anyones perspective view, but it did too me.

Qq launcher is an adorable infant in early stages, very nice layout and beautiful.
Technically no real options, I'm going to keep this and stay up to date.
Dx, this launcher has got the most beautiful transitions I've ever seen. Its semi fugly and could use a facelift. Not alot of options either too. More then Qq but not by much.
Didn't install Tescent because I already got MIUI installed and its not in English
When installing Qq, becareful of it. It has alot of demanding permissions including calling contacts and texting them without your approval. Along with Dilly dallying with your system tools. Just keep an eye on it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The permissions are something to be concerned about... Dxhome asked me to update from an external server and since I updated the data connection is continuously in use, other apps can't access the internet..

MIUIwiz still the best.
I'am already using Brigo's MIUIwiz version. Thing is, MIUIwiz is jerky @ 667 performance. I purposely test which lancher really fly at 667. And MIUIwiz does not, its still jerky no matter what preferences I select. But Tancent is really fast even @ 667. Tancent looks the best from the three. But its true they all feel suspicious. MIUIwiz, ported by our guys, safe, stable, complete package.
Hey i just noticed this! u guys having trouble with tancent? I' ve installed it perfectly and I dont see 'everythig' chinese, just 2 icons, a clock widget (although u tap on it and enter ur City name in English.) and folders named in chinese (which you can edit and name them in English) besides those two strange app icons i dont see anything written in chinese.

Ok here is the process:
Use apktool 1.4.3 to decompile the apk after loading the resource files obviously.
Then make all the modifications you want and recompile with apktool 1.4.2, now open original apk and modded apk with 7zip and replace "resource.arsc" file from modded one to the original one and you are done.
This is how it is done atleast in my case.
If you didn't understand I'll try to write a post with Screenshots if I find some time, hope it did helped you.

I wasn't successfully able to decompile/recompile stock framework-res.apk from HTC Vivid 4.03, but I was able to decompile/recompile the one from UOT Kitchen after I did a battery icon mod.
I'd try that if you guys still have problems. You may not actually have to even mod anything, just upload the required files, then download UOT's zip, then decompile/recompile using the tool in this thread.

Just pull the 1 zip or 2 zips from the rom, & explore for you're self, I think its the system ui but could be wrong, I'm not near my computer at the moment to check so I can't say exactly which one it is? If you're gonna mod the battery icons you're gonna look inside anyway & I takes like 10secs to extract & search the apk? If you don't wanna do that, there are various apps in the playstore you can download for free to look at the framework pics from inside the apks without opening them! Hope this helps.... press thanks if it did

As Maarten already pointed out SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. And if you want to use them in apktool you'll also need com.htc.resources.apk.
Just out of curiosity: are you going to use UOT or apktool? Been trying to change status bar clock colour on half-sense and fulmix (see my post in his thread) with apktool but haven't succeeded yet.
What are your plans on theming?
Just pull the zips & open using winrar? Thts what I've been doing for around 4yrs now

It gives you this errors because there is classes.dex file on it. Delete it and than decompile.
Dex files are most of them added by phone's company; for us HTC.

Open with WinRAR or 7-Zip delete classes.dex and than decompile with apktool.
Note: you do not have to extract apk to delete classes.dex file.

Make a SystemUI.apk without classes.dex and put that in you ROM and release to all users to test. If it works, I will resign from making ROMs.

Use latest apktool, bad magic value errors fixed in new version.

SystemUI must have classes.dex; there is where all the instructions (the smali files) come from for the apk to work. Like what to run for the EQS and many more.
As mentioned on the link given above
Code:
b) If you are using apkmanager, you can just export classes.dex, then delete classes inside the apk. Then decompile, edit, compile and add classes.dex back when ready.

Every single time a recompile an apk it goes back to normal
Does anyone else has that problem or is just me , and does someone knows how can i fix that problem?
INFO :
Windows 8 pro
Using : Apktool , Auto apktool and tickle my android (in all of them i get that same problem)
