I downloaded a theme didnt like it so im flashing a back to stock .zip file...
I opened HtcClockWidget.apk and in it are a few folders some with xml files some with png files.
if I change(the color of a) png file using photoshop and save it back in the folder the same format. would i see the change when i flash the .zip file
example: i open this .png file....and replace it with the red one. Would i see the change when i flash back?
Hi i am trying to edit the framework res apk so i can change the text colour and the themed clock colour. I can decompile with apktool and change the colors.xml but after compiling framework res i just get stuck in a bootloop. I have tried just copying the reaources file to my original framework but still bootloops. I have searched google and here and finding it hard to find a solution. One thing i noticed in 7zip it says that for resources the OS is FAT but on the edited one it is UNIX as well as being a smaller file when compressed. If anyone can help that will be great.* Thanks

sign the apk as a system app.
no you shouldn't have to sign it just rename unsigned framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk and reflash to phone it shouldn't bootloop when you compiled did you select yes to system file and yes to copy everything then delete what was in keep file? If its an XML when you delete from keep file you have to delete the file you modified also.

Did you choose Store as the compression method when adding the Resource file to your original apk?

I originally just renamed mine and got a bootloop. Signed it as a system apk and stuck it in an update.zip and flashed it and it worked. Also, as the above post mentions, store must be selected as the compression method.
There are 4 selectable Fonts on my SGP5, and an option to downlaod additional ones. I can't seem to find the font folder that these fonts are located (don't appear to be in System/Fonts folder). Is there a way to add fonts (into whatever folder the optional fonts are), without rooting?
You can get apk fonts then manually install them. After installation, the fonts would appear as part of the choices. No root needed

Hi,
When I search using Root Explorer on my SGP5, I see a bunch of .ttf files (truetype font files).

Where? (other than System/fonts)? Looking for that choco cookie one, I figure if that's not in a system folder, I could just drag ttf fonts there. I'll look for an apk to install them.

If you have a rooted device, you can use the "Font Installer" app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
It has a HUGE number of fonts for you to choose from.

Hi,
Sorry. I forgot to mention the directory. Yes, they're in /system/fonts (lower-case 's' on 'system') on my SGP5.
BTW, I think that you can't just drop the .ttf files into the directory. I think (not sure) that there's also some kind of associated XML file somewhere that is needed (again, not 100% sure).

I didn't see the same fonts in that folder that are in setting options. I agree you can't drag fonts into that folder unless you are rooted. I just find it odd there is an option to download custom fonts from the market "get fonts online" that will install, and not be able to just drag tt fonts into some folder. I have font changer on my rooted Optimus that work great, just haven't rooted my SGP yet. So far no real reason.
Can you decompile APK with just renameing it to the ZIP or RAR files.
Then you can extract it and you get all the files inside the apk.
then you can edit xml files and simply rename it back to APK.
I was just wondering is this right and safe way or you shouldn't decompile it like that?
I want to change my system app icon, but the file is in .qmg format, so if i want to use another icon i have to convert it to qmg?
I cant find anywhere image to .qmg converter
