This is just what the OP says. Nothing more, nothing less.
Its a flash-able zip file with script to unzip system to system. There are two folders preset in system; app and framework.
Good for making your own mods and distributing them.
Do NOT use this to distribute a ROM!
I seen someone try that once.... Wasnt good!
Usage:
Put files in zip using 7zip or WinRar.
Flash it
You can edit the updater-script to take out www.scottsroms.com and put in what you want using Notepad++
If you need help feel free to ask.
You should check out ZIPme on Google Play. You can add the files you want from your phone and create the update.zip

1) I assume this is ok to use for flashing the google keyboard?
2)If so, do permissions need to be set? Anything else a noob might need to know?
Thanks for the file.

It is okay for flashing a keyboard yes. You will use like 7zip or winter to open but not extract the zip and drag and drop your keyboard apk into /system/app.
Permissions are set for you too.
As for why you want it, check out this as it may be what you want and more.

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

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?

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.

Ninjamorph issue
Hey everyone,
I've been using Ninjamorph for awhile, changing png's in framework-res.apk ith much success... that is until I tried changing a specific one and now everything is fc'ing (clockwokmod, root explorer, settings... even Ninjamorph!) The png in question is the first on the list: activity_title_bar.9.png
Can anyone help me on how to fix this? I still have the original png but without any use of Ninjamorph or RootExplorer, what can I do?!
Try rebootin if you aint tried that usally wrks for me

im using a xperia x10a and i did the changes in the framework then when ninja morph ask me to reestart i hit ok but the phone didn't start, it stays on the sony ericsson logo...
why this happened? can someone help to do the right things on my x10 and change the icons and status bar colors in my phone
THANKS A LOT!
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?
I don't know if someone has created something like this but.I had a kitchen that I was scrapping to start a new one and decided I'd release this.

You select a folder with apk files in it and then convert them. To zip files and then you can extract the zips and edit the apk files.

It really isn't but it makes it easier then having to install 7zip because this doesn't install so it is easy to remove if needed. And it converts to zip which windows natively supports. So it really is not that different.

Hi
I downloaded a custom rom based on ICS and unzip the file then I add some app.apk to data/app and rezip it.
I tried to run zip in recovery but coudn't.
My question is that, why it didn't work??
Originally is it possible to add app.apk to same folder of a custom rom and then install the rom with my favorite apps??
Thanks for answering me.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
You can use 7zip "free download" to modify roms. It allows you to edit the rom without extracting it. Download the program and read the tutorial. Basically when you extract a rom you change the file association and it needs to be resigned. Also when you swap out and or add apps,files,etc you have to edit the update script to reflect the changes. You can google to find out more. This is just my understanding, hope it helps.

If u unzip the file, it will lost it signed properties (something like that) which cause the file not useable. If u need to add or remove apk, just use winrar or 7z and open the file without unzipping it.

Install DSIXDA kitchen first..tutorial here
Now use an already existing custom ROM, Stock Firmware, Nandroid Backup to create your working folder..
Do whatever you want to do..
Now copy the meta-inf folder from an existing CWM flashable ROM..and paste it into your working folder..
Select the system folder, boot.img, META-INF folder and create a zip file ..
if you have modem.bin and /data/app functionality..you will have to make appropriate changes to your updater-script file..
Sign your zip using the tool i have attached..
[How To]
Extract the zip file in a folder
rename your zipped ROM as update.zip
put it in the Autosign folder
run the AutoSign.bat file
Now wait untill your zip is signed..you will get a update-signed.zip as the final ROM..

Just use updater-script or update binary extracted from another similiar type of ROM.
Kitchen mods won't work because it uses update-script, and doesn't convert to updater-script properly.
Will likely give a Status 7 error in CWM.
Updater script could be modded manually with notepad ++.
But, you don't really need to change anything in there. except ui_print.

Like I have the zip file but I can't download it on my phone??
I have es file ex. But I don't know how to turn it in a apk so I can download it on the phone
I dont fully understand your question. This is how I interpreted it. You jave the .zip file downloaded on you phone. Then you need to open it (un zip it) to get to an app thats in there. If thats the case you should be able to just open the .zip and press and hold the file you want and a menu should come up with a few options. One should say extract. Hit that and there you go.

If you're trying to install the Xposed Framework posted here, it should already come with an .APK file extension, it shouldn't be a zip file. The zip file posted in that thread can be flashed in recovery to disable the framework if stuff gets messed up.
And if you have a zip file, you should be able to open it with a file explorer app.
