Creating Frameworks - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Heya,
Hence the search hasn't given me any threads, I'll ask straight away:
I wanted to create my own framework/theme but have no idea where to start. Can anyone point me into the right direction?
Thanks

I hope it will be something special

I do it like so. (Theres probly a better way but this works for me)
I go into droidexplorer and go system/framework and copy framework-res.apk to desktop
then open it in winrar
then with themeing and what not most files r located in res/drawable-hdpi
then just edit them how you see fit
(i normally extract the whole folder so i can see the thumbnails saves alot of time, then just copy it back over
then to get it onto you phone

Cab Makers???

Can anyone please make this into cab format for my tilt2? I have this over in that sub-forum but no one is responding, it doesn't get visited half as much as over here. Its the best mod i've found to fully increase all speakers even bluetooth on the rhodium/tilt2 device! I have tested and used many but this set of reg edits works the best and loudest while still keeping the quality crystal clear! Can anyone please make these edits into a simple cab install please? Thank you.
You know what funny is?
There is 351,464 threads, 4,637,131 posts, and 2,093,612 members here.
What do we see is GIGANTIC cash flow in that business(and HTC as PDA killer, etc, etc).
And noone made freeware CABMaker so far here.
All i wanted to say...this place lost all its character, it is just another phone forum now, practically.
Name it.
Cheerz,
nothin.
upd: you do not need cabs for this, imo, just make regs from these and use tc or taskmanager 3.x to import reg you need...until someone will make...cabs, or goddamn cabmaker.
upd2: before someone will ask: why i wont make cab for deeznuts instead of writing this:
i wont use stolen wincecabmanager, you do it, guys...

This sounds like SPAM, but check out the excellent CE RegEditor -- it is a nice remote reg editor that lets you view/edit/import/export your phone's registry from your PC, AND it lets you convert REG files to CAB files. It should do the trick for you.

i can agree, ceregedit is a-must-have tool.
idd, reg to cab is available in that soft, interesting discovery, i forgot about that, sorry...
until it is just reg, it will do the job.

Which one is the .csv? Lol, sorry, dont know a thing about this stuff. I just copy the audiopara3 file in windows, overwrite, then import the other 3-4 reg files using the app posted above via my pc through usb. Just looking for a cab to do all this for less hassle of course. Appreciate your help here in making the cab. Where you able to get it all in there?

Well try AXMLPrinter instead of apktool? It is sometimes better. TBH I don't like apktool too much. It's a good tool, but I prefer smali/baksmali and AXMLPrinter

Haha. good point. I wasn't really thinking as I posted (I should really be working just now ) AXML printer is good to a point, but apktool (once i got it working due to some stupid quirk on my PC which was pretty silly) does allow the extra customisation.
I should really shut up and concentrate
lol sorry mate

I am working on a similar thing for RC2 of my ROM I'm at work at the moment so I don't have it convenient, but I think it's HTCSetupWizard.apk or SetupWizard.apk or something like that in /system/app - however, if I remember correctly, it is disabled and doesn't do that by default (the Android with the animated hand) so you would need to decompile the app and enable it. It's a simple .xml edit, from my understanding.

Don't look only in framework-res.apk, look in app and systemui.apk too
Repost.deletion
You are probably further ahead then myself, but I understand the frustration. I cant get the damn apktools to work for me to extract or decompile.i dont know if I have it installed right or what, but I didnt get any help yet. So far what I hear u can just extract system apks with 7zip/winrar if u are just swapping images(pngs)from originals as system apks sign themselves on boot.*Just passing information from what ive read in threads.Maybe u dont have 2 edit xml?Just tryin 2 help.

First off there plenty of theme tut threads. Second the blue bar is a .9. PNG not am XML. The second will be in the settings apk. Look at the display XML and that will lead you to it. Next one should not expect a reply mainly when the info is out there to be found aand by trial and error
first off im not an idiot. i know theres a bunch of theme threads. theres also a billion posts. even if i searched for this id have to go thru 100's of posts. dont be an asshole know it all. you can just answer my question and it'd be over with.

OK well see here is the thing that image is not in the rom for my device. I only know the where to look from an older device I used to have. Second swearing on the forum is not allowed and yes there is alot of info that needs to be gone over. How do you think we did it. Search and ye shall find
And just to help a little to get the whole bar color changed you will need the framework Res, any device framework file and the contacts apk. Each section is a seperate .9.png that will need to be remade and then run the the tool in the sdk tools.

first, there is a lot of info in the rules but the word swearing was never included. a quick search and ye shall not find it. and i found your use of language by talking down to me very offensive. its a "two way street" remember.
second, a better way is to decompile the framework in apkmanager, edit the files in gimp/photshop/whatever, compile back with apkmanager. no messing with the 9 patches. but you already know that. because you know everything. senior moderator.

try apk manager. take your framework and put it in place-here-for-modding folder. run script. select 22 to set your project, select framework-res.apk. select 9 to decompile, keep the terminal open. the files you want to edit are in the projects folder. if you mess with the .9 png's dont touch the 9 patches on the outsides of the image. also, write down all the files you edit, youre going to need it later. after youre done making all your changes, go back to the terminal and select 11 to compile. if youre editing a system apk select Y when it asks you, then say Y to limit the amount of errors. it will then ask you to delete all the files you edited from the keep folder, the keep folder has all the original files, you want to delete all the files you edited from the keep folder so it can overwrite the originals with the edited ones. if you edited any xml files, delete the resources.arsc file also. after you deleted all the files you edited from the keep folder, go back to the terminal and press any button, it will finish compiling the apk. thats it
edit: i think its called apk multi tool now but i believe its all the same
I appreciate that detailed explanation. I couldnt do anything with the program, because I never hit 22 to set the project in the first step.lol. Now I was successful in decompiling my systemui.apk to swap out files & change colors in statusbar clock/date with another systemui.apk from a theme. I thought I did it right by compiling ,signing it afterwards, & changing permissions as I placed back in system/app folder but It just kept force closing anyways? The files I swapped were Clock.smali-Clock$1.smali & Dateview.smali- Dateview$1.smali. Dont know if these files are only in Sony Ericsson xperia play as this is phone im working with or what. Anyways thanks for helpful advice. Did you get any help with xml? Maybe try posting in phone specific forum?

Yes I did post that because people come here thinking they can disrespect anybody they want.
You can go ahead and edit the .9 that way all you want and I will keep an eye out for your next thread. Then ill even help you to show you how to properly edit the .9 or even do what I do and make your own.
I was not talking down to you. Sorry if you took it that way.I was telling to look for the info you needed as it is all here in the threads. Searching and reading is requried before opening a new thread. No spoon feeding here
As for your rule ref it states it right there. "What might be OK for you may not be ok for every one." Swearing is never cool in any civilized place. And no swearing has always been the rules.
Now I pointed you in the right direction. Take or not, your choice. Even if you want come on over to my teams themeing thread in the captivate or the inspire section. There is always great info in those threads.

Try this. I would do it for you, but I really don't have time to do all sorts of favors. It isn't too difficult, and it doesn't involve smali editing, so make a backup first and you can try to your heart's content.
thanks bro

Dude, stop bumping this thread. I already said I'm not going to help you, so just try modding yourself. Do yourself a favor. Don't come to XDA if you just want the end result. Do it for the journey there too. It's more satisfying when you know you did it yourself.
calm down

It's called trying. All I'm saying is to quit asking people to do it for you. The sad and unfortunate truth is that no one is interested in doing the do for you. Big time developers don't have time to help you. Modders want you to learn. And then there are people that ask, ask, and ask, but don't want to or haven't even tried out whatever they want to accomplish. If you seriously try as hard as you can, I'm sure you will end up reaching your destination. If not, then I can and will help you.

Here you mentioned the problem
You can't decompile because you don't have Java installed, I guess. Install it first
Notepad ++ will give you strange symbols because the app is not decompiled.

Everyone doesn't have the same phone as you mate. So even if they are willing to help, the most they can do is to show you the correct way.
