You have to set permissions first to rwrr and then move it to system/framework.. Next time please don't make new threads.. Post here

Extracting the apk breaks the apk (Signature)
So to do this you need a computer. Can't do this on phone.
1st way:
-Open the apk with WinRAR (without changing the apk extension)
-Simply drag & drop the D.O.C's files in respective folders & click OK on prompt.
-Push into system with correct permissions.
2nd Way:
You have to decompile the apk, replace files, recompile, sign it & then push it into your system.
Cheers!

Try apk multitool... If you want to just make some images changes just extract it and make changes then pack it... If it needs xml changes then you will have to decompile and compile... These can be done with apk multitool...

I meant that don't rename the file to .zip. You can open .apk file by Right click > Open with > WinRAR. Now just drag & drop D.O.C.'s files in the RAR. Window in respective folders then click Ok.

If u just wanna change the icon of the apl, then open ur apk in 7zip or winzip. And find the png file which contains the icon. It is either present in res/drawable-mdpi/
Or in res/midmap-mdpi/

Does the icon has to be the same resolution? Do I not need to sign it?
P.S - Is it possible to change the APK name to show a different name in App Drawer?

Only do it if its ur own apk. Otherwise its illegal....I think
And even if its not, I, as a developer strongly discourage it. I would certainly not like my app being decompiled

X-Plore file manager (with Root access)

Use X-Plore file manager
(Root access is required)
First backup your original apk file.
Work:
1- Open an app as zip file
2- go to res\drawable-hdpi\ folder
3- find icon.png in this folder
4- then Go to the second section in the browser (on the screenshot)
5- find the png file which is your new icon.
6- Rename it "icon.png" and mark.
7- Then copy it and write over old one.
8- End
Note:The new apk file is not signed so you can't install it like a normal installation.
So you can push it to the system\app folder (Root access is required)

I can extract the .apk
Bt how to merge that extracted files into a .apk file ?? 7zip cn't do it bro
When I've changed battery icons in the systemUI.apk I've used 7zip. But dont extract! View the archive, then drag and drop the files in making sure they're named the same as the ones they're replacing. Then when I backed out its saved

MAN! WHY IS THE UPDATER SCRIPT INSTRUCTED TO FORMAT THE SYSTEM PARTITION!!!??!?!? PLEASE GO THROUGH IT!!!!
PLEASE REMOVE THE ATTACHMENT AT ONCE! IT WILL DEFINITELY FORMAT THE SYSTEM PARTITION!!
The updater-script looks like it has been directly pulled from a custom Rom so it obviously formats the system partition . Please edit the updater-script accordingly!

It's not a full apk . I don't know how to call it because I haven't used it before . I think it's called zipthemer or something like that. It looks like an apk but it's just a folder which only contains the files which has to be replaced inside an existing framework-res.apk in your device. So it would probably work with any framework-res.apk.

yes it only replaces the anim folder in framework res
I don't know if I'm wrong but still the updater-script looks broken to me (forgive me if I'm wrong).
the updater-script is instructed to extract a file called "vrtheme" but I can't find any file named "vrtheme" in the flashable zip?!?

Okay, but you better remove the attachment for the time being.
And why is the data partition mounted and unmounted unnecessarily? And you cannot unmount the sdcard because the flashable zip itself is present in the sd card during execution and you can't instruct it to unmount itself .

Okay, I think I've bothered you enough for today but a piece of friendly advice, test your product atleast 10 times before you release it and after releasing it, download it again from where you uploaded, and test the downloaded product once again. Sorry to bother you .
And good idea by the way!

This is a thread mainly used for themers and porters who want to edit the android manifest.xml in their apk's...
By using this u can mod your apks but the meta inf must be the original.
Installation:
Just pushboth files into system>framework folder by using root explorer.
