Ok, so i modded about 6 png's that are for the notification bar.
However, when i add them to my used framework-res (no problems at all) my phone get's stuck in a bootloop.
After a quick question in the ROM threat, brady1uk mentioned the file size.
so i checked them, and before i modded them they were a total of 43kb, but now they are 143kb!
Could this be the problem of my bootloop, and if yes, how do i reduce the file size?
*added the status_bar png's*
I don't think it's the file size. Let me ask, when you "add them to your used framework-res" how do you do it? Did you extract the .apk then re-archive?

I open the framework-res whit winrar, and i just drag and drop my custom files in there with out extracting it.
ok, so i replaced my new png's whit the old ones in the hope my phone would work again, but it didn't
Now i'm totaly clueless...
If someone could take a look at what i have combined and why it doesn't work it would love it (using lee droid 1.9A)

as all is failing i would suggest getting the original framework-res.apk - before u ever touched it (download leedroid rom again if you didnt back it up). And then use either APK Manager or Theme Pro to decompile the apk, then mod away and change everything you want then use APK Manager or Theme Pro to compile it back up. Thats how I do it. I think there is a chance using Winrar to just pull out the files and add them back in has currupted it somehow

ok, so i did this, but now when i flash the .zip i get a error [ E:Failure at line 9: run_program PACKAGE:check_data_app instalation aborted.]
Ok, so after failing to create my own apk file i pulled it from my desire and added the 6 files to it.
adb push, reboot.
And it gets stuck in a bootloop...
So ok, that failed, but i had the pulled framework still on my computer, so i decided to push this file back to make it work again.
But now it's still stuck in a bootloop....
seems like my adb corupts the .apk or what could be the problem?
You shouldnt need to decompile it if your only making a few changes to the framework.
I use 7-zip to open the rom, navigate to the required apk, and open that archive then swap the images over, no need to delete the original, they will just get over written. Then press up or back within 7-zip. when you navigate out of the apk you were in 7-zip will say it has been changed, carry on, pressing back untill you are all the way out of the rom. Then resign the rom and flash it.
Ive never used apk tool to change images in the htc resources or the framework res and never had a problem.

I pretty sure the framework in the zip you posted is not from Leedroid so theres your 1st problem. Unless you made more than just 6 png changes.

I also sort of use your described methode, but istead of using 7-zip, i use winzip.

It could be that the base of the framework is from leedroid, but i added a theme to it (think it is NexTang-DJDroid).
used it for about a month w/o problems, then i changed 6 files in the framework. And nothing works anymore ._.
can you try flashing the stock leedroid fw-res.apk to see if you get out of the bootloop? if you can do that, then at least you have a fallback plan.
and instead of flashing it, try using:
Code:
adb mount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I have never had any problems doing it that way.
I had the same problems. But i tried to make a flashable zip file and this work very fine..
And remeber you can not just replace a 9.png file maybe this is your fault?

Your script works great extracting the .img file. But it's not able to create zip file. Let me edit your script with the missing file/info.
Download this file and put in folder tools;
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7za920.zip
change this line;
"%LOC%\tools\7z.exe" a "%LOC%\update.zip" "%LOC%\out\*"
to;
"%LOC%\tools\7za.exe" a "%LOC%\update.zip" "%LOC%\out\*"
and it should work. it will create a zip file.
Enjoy
how it works?
How does it use? What things do I have to put in the folder "IN"?

let you extract system.img and boot.img from android build, once you extracted all the fill, it will put all the file into a zip file so you can load via CWM

It has a function to edit apk. But how do you use that function and where do you add your own apk?

it does not have a function to edit apk (correct me if i'm wrong). once you extracted all the files, go into app and add your apk there.

If there's no boot.img, it should still work. all the boot file is already in the system.img
Let me download that build and I can tell you for sure on how to do it.. I smell that a new version of this script will be out..
Yeah it's very much a work in progress, please feel free to attach updated versions... I'll add them to the first post with accreditation

So i figure maybe itll be even better on NAND! TAHNKS again so much for your pos t BIRKOFF! ANYone know of the SD->NAND question?

YOU have to add an "a" after the z in 7z WITHIN the RUNME script...you have to right click it and open with NOTEPAD on PC and add the "a"

Really cool idea!! I gave it a shot, it just reboots after the MAGLDR screen showing the HTC logo over and over until you boot back into recovery. It flashed fine but just wouldn't boot.

I tested with different build, system.img only, both boot.img and system.img, it was able to create a zip with all the file.
I'm not uploading the whole folder since this was started by birkoffsjunk, I'm just helping
Test it out
I downloaded factory image from code.google.com,and I extracted a file who name is system.img,but I don't know how can I unpack it.
I don't know unpack it with what software,Is not always able to unpack the file when I
tried some softwares.(yaffs2img,winimage,winRAR and something else)
what is a right way to extract and edit it?
Thank you!
you don't extract .img files.... you flash the img file through fastboot.
google on how to use fastboot for more details.
You can extract them just fine. I used dsixda's kitchen to extract system.img so that I could pull the gapps.

Yes, it works ok. Just put the system.img in the original update and choose to make a rom from that file. It will guide you through extracting the system.img. You might be able to get it to build the entire rom if you just zip all of the .img's together and choose that for the input file.
Thank you so much and I'll try. ^^
You can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15333542& postcount=135 to convert the image to an .ext4.img and then use http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ to mount (if you are using Windows).

Major edit:
This is now the rooted system pull, including EVERYTHING that you'll need to dev for this phone. Links are here:
http://d-h.st/2No This link is system.img compressed to a 7z format, expect it to be HUGE (about 1.4gb) when uncompressed.
http://d-h.st/7YC This is the standard system.tar.gz pull.
http://d-h.st/wvp System.tar.gz mirror
If anyone needs another system dump uploaded let me know. Got mine today and am in no hurry to switch over to it so its a test bed.
Thanks for posting. I'm sure this will be of great help to some folks doing research on the device for some flashing goodness!

There is a better way to do this. By doing it the way that you mention windows will add a carriage return to end of every line of the basic files, since Adnroid is linux at it's base, that is not a good thing.
The better way to grab a system image is like this:
adb shell
cat /dev/block/system > /sdcard/system.img
This can be mounted like an iso on any OS.
I'll do this now. Thanks for the tip!
Edit: Says no such file or directory. odd

Yes that is true, but still a better way for a true image. The other way, will miss any files that are not readable by "other" on the filesystem, so that can be an issue, as well.
As soon as we get root, I'll post up a proper system dump. I just need to know how to get access to the boot.img, so we can get root.

You may have to figure out where the device for /system is at in /dev it may be something like /dev/block/mmcblk0p(1-26). Those last numbers in the parenthesis are the partition number for /system, that will be what you will need to find in /dev/block, and it will be a number between 1 and 25 usually.
You will need root to this, just like howtomen mentioned. For now how you mentioned will just sort of do the job. It would be best to do it from cygwin rather than from the windows command line though, as cygwin should NOT add the carriage returns.
OK well... I have a linux machine I can use, but I never used ADB on it. if someone wants to walk me through it, I'll do a system dump on linux. If not, well, not much I can do...
Would love to look at the dump, but that mirror ain't working well for me.

So, when you have the winrar windows, drop the file and put it into the folder or the desktop.
