[Guide] Porting UI Apks
This is a small tutorial showing about porting UI Apps
(Theming)
Necessary tools
-Apktool
-Copy-Paste Knowledge
-Root Explorer
-A little respect
Its very easy no need of development skills...
So lets start
Porting SystemUI.apk
Of a rom to another..
At first decompile ur Stock Systemui.apk and custom
Systemui.apk which u wanna port.
Now find the folder in custom SystemUI.apk name "res" then
open it and search for "drawable-hdpi" open it and you will
see a lot of png image replace all them to your stock
systemui.apk! If you find any xml file then don't copy them.
Then recompile the modded stock SystemUI.apk and replace
with original one by root explorer..
Porting framework-res.apk
Your device must be of the same resolution with the custom
framework-res device (ex: qhd>qhd) .... If not then u may face
dpi bugs.
decompile both stock and custom framework-res.apk.. Same
as before find "res" open and find "drawable-hdpi" copy all
the png to ur stock framework.. don't copy any xmls.. and
recompile the modded stock framework-res.apk and replace
with ur original by root explorer..

Can anyone point me out how can i open the .pro files that are in the apk of the gingerbread rom? I am trying to modify some icons for compiling a theme but i cant get through.
try how to cook your own rom link from ciaox's sticky..
Just use your own pngs and rename the extension "png" to "pro"
At least I modified my own framework-res.apk in Froyo in this way...

I think (off the top of my head) these files are located at system/framework
