Extracted from JJ's hybrid.
Copy into /system/app with file manager (I use ES), reboot.
It will appear in app drawer.
Or do you want some older one, from gingerbread?

That worked great, thanks guys:thumbup:

Remember if you push any apps/mods manually with root explorer to the system folders to set the right permissions.
You could end up with alot of errors otherwise.

Why we could get alot of errors when changing the file in the system when we're doing it right?
If theres an error then either we fix it or do a restoration. thats why always do BACKUP.

[Q] Ninja Morph for framework-res.apk?

Hey
I'd like to change some pictures in the framework, but I don't really understand the signing procedure.
So I found the App Ninja Morph, that can change pictures within an apk. Does this work with the framework-res.apk?
Thank you
FireRider
Yup
And no need to sign if u use the right zip program

OK thank you very much.
So there are two easy ways to modify the framework-res.apk right?
First one with Ninja Morph an the second with 7Zip (and I think with adb? because with Root Explorer it failed...) Or are there more?
Ninjamorph will only mod pics within an apk whereas u can push an entire apk with adb.
Ive managed to use winrar instead of 7zip to accomplish the same result!

There are two basic methods for changing icons. 1) using ninjamorph and only using the device. 2) using 7zip, winrar,etc on your pc to make the changes them moving the modified apk to your phone.
Are you getting any specific errors and what are you trying to change? I assume your phone is rooted, busybox installed and superuser set to allow?

i'm not getting an error at all... everything does fine.. but after i reboot there is no change at all... and i'm just confused on how to edit it on the computer... b/c they say open it but don't extract.. so how can i change the files without extracting? and yes i'm rooted.. and have busybox
i'm trying to change icons in the notification bar......
Are the images you are replacing the right file type? Afaik its not a problem...
On the pc if you are using 7zip, right click on the framework and hit open archive.
Check out calums theme sticky for further instruction if you take that route.

So, for instance, using Ninja Morph I could change the background of SE dialer?

How to use Ninja Morph
After reading of others success using Ninja Morph I purchased it. I replaced one image in my Framework-res.apk. When I finalize the project, should I select that the project needs to be installed or just copied? How do you move the new apk into the active configuration on the phone? Do I need to use ADB to push it?

Hard time applying a camera mod

Whenever i try installing a camera mod I always end up failing. Idk what im doing wrong.
I renamed my orginal camera.apk to camera.apk.bak and moved the mod to system/app but no luck.
I tried installing the mod also while it was in the system/app and still no luck.

Use root explorer to move the apk to system/app folder and that'll do the trick.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hmm still a no go. I have a sprint gs3. I wonder if thats the issue?
You meed root to move it to system/app folder, is it rooted?
If its rooted then in root explorer mount as r/w using the button at the top and then paste it in to the system/app folder.
If it successfully pastes in there you should be fine.
You don't need to install and anyway it won't let you, it'll keep saying not installed but since it is in system/app folder that doesn't matter.
Just reboot after you move it to the folder.

The issue is that you also need the .odex file, i had the same thing with sms (secmms. apk + odex)
I made a zip with the maps system\app\ and the 2 files. You can install it using recovery mode.

Transition Animations for All

OK here ya go I tried to test these as best I could but as always USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I would NAND Backup if I didn't want to have to reflash my ROM (like that was ever an issue).
This uses D.O.C. theme engine so they can be flashed on virtually ANY ROM.
Big thanks to Snuzzo as well THANKS
I tested them the best that I could.

One thing you might need to adjust your animation speeds in /settings/Developer Options/Window Animation Scale & Transition Animation Scale.
Not much else to say other then ENJOY!
Don't forget to hit the Thanks button if you like..
Remember guys, these will not work with TWRP.

Unfortunately none that i'm aware of.. other than to extract the ROM, open framework-res.apk (7zip) copy the XMLs from the attached zip into the apk.

Nope. No workaround. Also with vrtheme, if you want your old animations back, there is a folder created as "vrtheme-backup" on your sd card. These could potentially work on nearly any ICS rom.

I use AmonRa 3.15 and flashed VRThemes before so I'm not sure what went wrong.
There's a framework-res.apk in that folder and that's it.
I restored my backup, re-downloaded the file, flashed again, it says successful but my phone is still stuck at the HTC screen.

only "work around" for it would be to extract the framework-res.apk from your system/framework directory.
place it on your pc, use 7zip to explore the apk with out opening it and drop the "anim" folder into the apk where the old one is.
then push apk back to phone.

That's really not hard at all. I might have to include one of these in my next ROM.

[Jellybean Framework/Transition Mod][CM9]

You'll need: FXP CM9 rom.zip
a working brain
WinRAR
Open the FXP.zip
navigate to /system/framework
replace the framework-res.apk with the apk in the attachment below
put the zip file into sd card
flash it via recovery
no need for wipe or anything
Will it work on stock rom?
Can't we just replace the framework-res.apk using Root explorer?
Can we have screenshots?

I think it'll do it (cause flashing it via CWM is also just replacing the original with the new one)
If not, you can access your internal Memory with ADB even in bootloop!
(Only with CyanogenMod)
FAQ
1.Will it work on stock ROM? -------- No.
2. Can't we just replace the framework-res.apk using Root explorer? --------- No.Just like replacing systemui.apk,if you replace it with root explorer,you'll have to flash the rom again,because it'll cause bootloop (Maybe) JUST TO BE SAFE.
3.Can we have screenshots? ------- it's an animation...SCREENSHOTS?
4.Downloading,anyone try this? ------- hmm.....ME?

You can't really screenshot a transition
I installed it on FXP147 CM9 on XPERIA P.
It will boot loop if you hit replace
If you first rename the ''nameoffile".apk as "nameoffile".apk.bak, then the dialog won't repeat nameoffile has stopped working
So just dont replace Rename old file
Just rename it as.apk.bak copy your new apk, longpress on new apk>properties>set permissions 'rw-r--r--'
If in case your device is in bootloop, reboot to recovery and set permissions
If it's still in bootloop then either the file is not of your phone(apk might be say of sxp which you pasted on sxu) then you gotta go for restoring back up or flashing Rom
