[Q] I would like to go to editing .apk for creating my own themes: what do I need??

Hi! I would like to edit some .apk files of mt SGG, but not editing only icons or so, but trasparencies and backgrounds.
Can please someone help me on finding the tools I need and how to setup my computer with all the things I need??
Thank you.

Hi, for the tools needed see post 2 in my theme thread. Report back when you've got them installed and we can progress. Don't ask me to find the download links for you. lol

Tools Needed:
Android SDK package - add the (sdkpath)/tools folder to your windows environment variable. -> DONE!
Version 1.3.1 (not 1.3.2) of APKTool. -> DONE!
Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks (or other advanced image editing software). -> I don't want to edit images! I use images I found from other themes!
PSPad Editor (or other valid xml editor). -> DONE! ..but I prefere NotePad++ Editior
Latest version of the NeonGT theme. -> I have your Jumba's_NeonGT_JPY_1.8.3_bb.zip theme you told me to use as teamplate: is it ok?
PNGOptimizer. -> I don't want to edit images! I use images I found from other themes!
7-zip. -> DONE!

Am I ok for starting?
All I need is managing with replacing images and related trasparencies.
An example: I have a trasparent Dialer and would like to change the trasparency, the look of some tabs getting images from other dialers, and then importing all the work done in the Dialer of last Darky's ROM.
I have already putted all the neutral/dummy/trasparent images from the trasparent dialer into the dialer that I want to edit, but now I see all those images as black with no trasparency.
Am I correct if I say that now I need to make changes to some .xml files to set the trasparency??
Ps: I already decompiled the .apk I would like to edit and I get errors decompiling this dialer using APKTool 1.3.1:

You need to set your framework-res.apk as the file used to decode... like so:
apktool if c:\whatever\yourframework-res.apk sgs
Then:
apktool d -t sgs c:\whatever\DialerTabActivity.apk c:\decoded\dialer
Then make your edits and compile using:
apktool b c:\decoded\dialer c:\out\DialerTabActivity.apk
After this don't forget to copy the META-INF folder over from the old apk into the new one.
If you're looking to make it transparent there's a guide around here somewhere. You need to change some xmls too. Sometimes some 9.png images don't decompile properly... you'll need to recreate those somehow.

My guess is you need to set twframework-res as package 2 somehow? But I've never seen that error...
Try replacing the 1.apk and 2.apk files in the install folder with your renamed framework and twframework-res.apk's. Then you don't have to use the -t switch when decompiling.

When I installed the app, in Document and Setting I only have the 1.apk file..no 2.apk one.
I'll try with what you say.
About the residencies, applying it is it all the same technique for write all menu or every menu has different file involving and I must go searching for them?

From my unserstanding you need to use the frameworks that the file you're decoding depends on... I've always just used the fw-res and twfw-res from the rom I'm using without issues.
It seems to be looking for dependencies that aren't available in the frameworks you are using. Perhaps try and get the files that match the dialer you downloaded, or try another dialer.

The fact is that I have tryed with Darky's ROM v9.1 Dialer and its frameworks files, and I get the same problem.
This means he used different files mixed together for making the theme??
In the mean time I'll try with a stock rom files and let you know if it is like you say.

I tryed to get framework files from Darky's ROM v9.2 and rename framework-res.apk in 1.apk and twframework-res.apk in 2apk, place them in the Documents and Settings folder of apktool and try them on the DialerTabActivity.apk from same Darky's v9.2.

Again: what do you think? Is it ok, regardless for those undecoded files?? Can I just extract from the apk manually and overwrite the undecoded?? They are only images...

Much better, yes, but you'll still need to replace those files at some stage. APKTool will have replaced those with dummy files. See for yourself - they will be there but are probably 0 bytes. You can most likey compile the dialer as-is then copy those .9.png files back into the apk afterwards or replace them with new ones.

Oh..but can't I just replace them now before compiling? Do I have to do this after when the apk file is already done?!?
Ps: I have to edit 2 images. Do I have to use Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks + PNGOptimizer?? I don't have Photoshop and Fireworks, and never used them, so I'm a little bit noob with those....

If you want to replace. 9.png images before compiling you'll need to re-create the 9-patch info (the thin black lines around the edges of the image) else it won't compile. If this isn't possible for some reason then you can add the original compiled ones in afterwards. I can send you the pre-compiled images that you are missing when I get home later if you like... but take some time to read up on how 9-patches work, it could save you some headaches in the future.

The fact is that those images are modded images from the creator of the modded Dialer: in the thumbs they look all like a big black square, but if I open them they look all blank trasparent.
Probably he added them after compiling the .apk as you say.
I think I'd better do the same.
About modding the images I told you up here, I aldready did with a free tool

......sorry. I haven't made that kind of searhing on xda.
Ps: I realized that you have made Glass Dialers your self.
I have done one based on GlassDialer with Darky's rom icons that works good...but it lags in the Logs and Favourite menues because my LiveWallpaper is heavy, so I was looking for remove trasparency from underneath the 2 squares Logs and Favourites on top of list (between Keypad and Contacts squares) and see if I could even remove trasparency underneath all the Log and Favourite listing, so to have trasparency only when the Keypad is loaded
Do you understand what I'm looking for doing?

If I do have to upload framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk, which directory do I find them in? Been poking around my ROM and could only find framework-res.apk so far. My ROM details are in my signature

Htc resources is with the framework and systemui is in /system/app. I always upload my files since it always works.
Swyped...

I'm also not able to change these icons with GingerVillain (2.6). I tried to push the system-ui and framework-res per adb, but it didn't work too. It should be possible with insertcoin (it is deodexed)

same problem here. IC 1.1.0., with CM 3.x recovery. i used kitchen's files, creating and flashing goes well but no change is visible upon boot up...

ok, adb push did work for me...IC GB 1.1.0. rom...

unable to upload com.htc.resources.apk
Ok...so i've been playing in the kitchen and for some reason, it wont let me click the upload button for com.htc.resources.apk and i'm running NilsP Business Gingersense, so it IS a Gingerbread rom with sense, so i do need to upload that file...anyone else having problems with this? maybe what ever i didnt change uses that file, so the fact that i'm not changing anything to that file, it wouldnt let me upload it? i hope thats it.....
Ok..it was because the kitchen was closed for a bit....

[Q] trouble compiling framework-res.apk

Okay so I changed the color of text in framework-res.apk and I can't compile it, I get an error and it tells me to read the log. I was wondering if I could compile it with another apk, or the same one ignoring the errors and just drag and drop the xml that's changed into the original .apk .
Sent from my SPH-D700

Well... First you should try and see if the apk compiles before you even edit it and see if the problem is with the apk in general.

Well... All of the stock images but leave any battery images in there if you have the % mod becaise that will make it fail if you dont have all the 100 battery images but you have the battery mod built in the framework already.

It also looks like you might have removed indentifiers in a couple xml files here:

Also looks like you cut some needed information to read a couple of the errors.

Ok, here's the issue when editing a themed apk. Certain .9.png images can be added and made to work that don't have the 1 pixel black marks on the edge of the image when you decompile. When you try to recompile the apk, this will cause errors. Normally you can see these when you decompile the theme because you will have a 2 files with the same name, but one will have the extention .9.png and be blank, the other will be .png and show the image.
Edit: Fix these images:

I edit them in photoshop without the 9patch tool all the time. But if you are compiling the image with eclipse, then puting them in to apkmangaer to compile the whole apk, there's your issue.

Okay so I changed the color of text in framework-res.apk and I can't compile it, I get an error and it tells me to read the log. I was wondering if I could compile it with another apk, or the same one ignoring the errors and just drag and drop the xml that's changed into the original .apk .

I had this same problem going from froyo to gingerbread. You need to update the framework. Chris41G gave me these instructions. After updating the framework no more errors.
"you should have a folder.. probably in your user folder in windows... c:\Users\XXXX\apktool\
that has 1.apk 2.apk and various others...
delete those.
then copy systemui.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework-res.apk to some other directory on your drive
from that folder run, apktool if systemui.apk
apktool if twframework-res.apk
apktool if framework-res.apk"

I wouldn't compile the apk after editing and compiling the .9.pngs with eclipse I would just drag and drop from the eclipse apk to the theme.

Oh ok I apologize. I made an assumtion that because you couldn't compile an apk that you didn't change you were having the same issue as me. If you are theming a Froyo framework-res.apk than you wouldn't need to change frameworks unless you have already changed them to work on Gingerbread. If that is the case you would have to change it back to Froyo.
