[Q] Noobish question on theming apks

Hi all,
I tried to theme an apk (ie. SwitchPro), after some search I got ApkTool and Android-sign (osx droplet).
So to test if it worked I decompressed it using ApkTool and recompressed, then Signed.
During apk install it just says "App not installed".
What's wrong ?
Thanks
The problem i had was that the resulting .apk seemed a lot smaller than it should after recompileing with apktool. If you are just editing images i suggest extracting the images form the .apk. Then you edit as you like. Then open the original apk with WinRAR (or whatever you use) and simply add your edited images to the .apk file. Then install and it should work.

[Q] Apk and Odex

I removed some apps by getting rid of the apk and odex file (which from what I can tell is some compressed classes or something like that - maybe similar to a library?) Anyway, simply putting the files back in the apps directory won't reinstall the application. And when I try and install the package via adb's install command, it complains about not having the odex its looking for. So, I can copy the odex to the app directory but then the installer complains about not being able to find /sbin/pm. Has anyone had any success with doing something like this?
Thanks!
So as an update, I did find pm in /system/bin/. Does anyone know how to change the path that adb install uses to look for pm?

[Q] Framework-res.apk not working

So as I'm trying to figure out what's causing some bugs in the SEs music player I installed apktool to break the apk into readable java and text files.Since this is a system app i need the framework to decode it,and I pulled framework-res.apk from my system/framework directory and installed it in apktool,but it doesnt seem to apply to this app...Does anyone a file I can use?
The apps name is SemcMusic.apk
You could open the .apk in a .rar file . Its a pretty basic way though Idk if youll be able to access the file parts you need.
I guess it does work,but I just realized I have to find a peace of code in 20 folders and i have no knowledge of java...
Edit: It probably wont work that way since apktool translates binary xml to normal readable xml

[Q] Manual uninstall of flashed keyboard

Could someone please tell me how to manual uninstall of flashed keyboard? I installed RedMa7_keyboard_N2.zip and I've used a root file manager to locate the files in two folders, one META-INF and the other system folder. I'm afraid that if I just delete these specific files I may encounter FC errors. I searched this forum thread but did not come up with anything useful pertaining to my issue.
