So you want to make a custom framework, but don't want to bork your phone? I have found an easy way to fix these things....
Go to one of the gingerbread notification threads for 318 or 319 and download the signed zip.
then with root explorer, copy framework-res.apk and services.odex from /system/framework/ to your sd card using root explorer or other means.
copy those files to a pc... Make a copy of the gingerbread notification bar for 318 zip and label it.. example... 341frameservstock.zip
open the zip file with 7zip or winrar... key word open! not extract
drag your stock files into the /system/framework folder inside the zip.
hit close...
copy the zip file to the root of your sd card.... As long as you have streakmod or clockwork loaded as recovery, you can easily flash back in seconds to those files and boot back into android... and try, try again...
simple easy... no need to reflash or waste the time.

for ROOT
please backup with Xrecovery before trying this. Sometimes when I tried to change transitions for other downloaded on the internet I had bootloop.
I’ve managed to change transitions in X8 to Stock Android (sliding left and right).
I’ve prepared framework-res.apk file that you have to switch with the original one.
You can try to prepare your custom transitions by changing the files in .apk in res/anim folder. You have to change files that begin with semc_activity. You can find animation .xml file on the Internet. To swapping files you can use WinRAR.
In framework APK there are files called activity_open_*.xml and semc_activity_open*. I’ve just deleted the semc* files, copy and renamed the other files so that they begin with semc_*.
Installation using propc method:
Extract the zip file into root of your sd card. (make sure the files are in root).
in adb shell, use this command:
_________
su
cd /sdcard
sh reframe.sh
_________
I think you can also swap the framework-res.apk file using root explorer, but I didn’t tried it.
I advice to use these custom transitions together with LauncherPro because it has custom fancy applaunch animation. With ADW launcher there’s probably no transition when launching app (I don’t know why). You can use SpareParts application to change the speed of transitions.
Remember – backup first with xrecovery.

How can i edit framework-res.apk?
I've copied the frameworkres apk via root explorer to my sdcard, put it on my pc, and unpacked it via APK Manager, i see the icons now, i can edit the png's right? How do i get the frameworkres apk back and working?
Widget locker never worked on my optimus. :/
k i've managed it by my own, it's working now.
It's really easy, copy the /system/framework/framework-res.apk via root explorer to your sd, and get it on your pc.
On your PC rename it: framework-res.apk.zip and open it, unextract the folder you want, and edit the png's you need with photoshop or stuff like that, then back in the zip, rename it back, back to the phone with it, rename the old file in system and put the new one in it. Finished.

Or you can do it with apk manager.But that's also a good way to do it.
How To: Change Boot Animation
First: You need a Custom Rom Installed
Install winrar
Root your droid! (obviously?) If you need to root, download 'Universal Androot'
using a Root explorer goto the /system/media directory.
Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card.
Connect your droid to your computer with usb and mount the SD Card
Copy bootanimation.zip to your computer.
extract bootanimation.zip to a folder
Inside you will find 2 folders with all the individual PNG files in them.
With photoshop or paint modify the png files to add your custom graphics, OR make/download your own pictures. (Make sure they are 240x320)
Highlight the two folders and the desc file.
Right click the highlighted files.
Select add files to archive.
Select Zip check box
In the compression method drop down box select Store. (this is key if you dont do this it wont play the animation)
save the archive as bootanimation.zip
copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD Card
Select the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card and move it... system>media>paste
REMEMBER: Re-name the default bootloader 'bootloaderold.zip' and the new one 'bootloader.zip' This will stop confusion
Any Questions? Just ask!

Hello Guys!!!!!!!
Take a look at my neo v.
I've tweaked a few of my system files and this is the outcome.
You may try it out.
The rar file contains
1. DefaultThemes.apk
2. SystemUI.apk
3. Home.apk
Download both the rar files first and then extract them in your PC.
Then copy the files to your sd card and disconnect phone from PC.
You need root explorer for this to work.
Copy the files to /system
Then Change permissions to rw,r,r
Now move them to /system/app and overwrite the system apps
Reboot.
If you like it press the thanks button.
nice
i made my own themes too, actually 2
check my sign
I dont know how to sign framework-res.apk
who will teach me?
What are you trying to do exactly? Why do you need to sign it? Have you decompiled it? Recompiled? Some more info may help you get more/better answers.
If you have decompiled it and made some changes to it, then recompiled it and now have an unsigned-framework-res.apk then what I usually do it use 7zip (WITHOUT UNZIPPING the .apk file and ONLY OPEN ARCHIVE)and remove the AndroidManifest.XML and meta-inf folder. Next use 7Zip to unzip the ORIGINAL framework-res.apk, then select the AndroidManifest.XML and meta-inf folder and DRAG it into the unsigned-framework-res.apk that you also have OPENED ARCHIVE, hit OK to add it on the popup. Now I then usually copy the unsigned-framework-res.apk to my phone, use root explorer to rename it framework-res.apk (so remove the "unsigned" part of the name). Then I use root explorer and copy it into /system, long press on the framework-res.apk and choose permissions, then set the permissions correctly , then long press again and select move, navigate to /system/framework and hit paste. Then reboot phone.
IF you have a issue where it doesn't boot up correctly then there is something g wrong with your framework-res.apk and you will HAVE TO go back to recovery and reinstall your ROM to fix it (or restore a nandroid backup). This last part is just FYI in case you have an issue.
Hope this helps. If it is not what you have done or trying g to do then give some more details as to what your trying to do and why.
