I've just tried some of the themes available here against the apkmanager tool - decompiling and then compiling the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and all of the custom themes give tons of errors (sometimes won;t even compile back) .. the only one that goes without troubles is the stock framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
I'm just wondering whether this is correct or not and where is the issue - is it apkmanager or the themes that are wrong ?

I never had much luck with APKManager, that's why I use APKTool.
Try v1.3.1 if you can find it, 1.3.2 has problems.
Apk Manager uses apktool too.
@w83
Take a look at log.txt.
I guess it's due to corrupted .9.png.
Solution:
Replace all modded .9.png with original files, decompile, make your changes, compile.
Then you can put in your modded .9.pngs again...

Is it really a solution ? .. cause it seems like all of the modded .9.pngs are basically broken
You're right, let's say workaround
For fixing your modded .9.png search for xUltimate draw 9 patcher. I don't know what it's called exactly.
But for editing framework-res.apk the workaround should be acceptable.
I can manage to decompile the theme (usually with some patched pngs messed up) but when I try to compile it (even without any changes) I end up with tons of errors in the form:
apktools/vagreen_frame/res/values/public.xml:3760: error: Public symbol drawable/zzzzz_tw_quickcontact_top_frame declared here is not defined.
(lots of these ones)
any idea what's wrong ?

Once your 9.pngs are poorly done, errors such as the above would appear. There were only 6 9.png errors and the log generated a loh file size of 130+kb. But once solved, all errors were eliminated.

I'm either using the android sdk draw9patch to generate the pngs or even GIMP to do it. Just make sure the first and last row/column must be either alpha or black. No other colours are allowed there.

Ok so ur saying that after I should correct the patch 9 pngs in the framework and it should compile correctly ? .. so two options: [1] decompile, replace the pngs with correct ones, compile ? .. or .. [2] correct pngs, compile in eclipse, replace in framework, decompile, compile ?
I am pretty sure that I've already tried correcting them using [1] and it didn't help at all .. I was still flooded with errors ..
I guess I'll try to modify things from the bottom up .. take the stock theme with extended menu and play around with it .. are there any significant changes in the .jars inside the /system/framework in most of current themes ?
but still it would be way nicer if I could decompile and compile one of current themes without errors .. I'm so curious how the theme gurus are doing it .. I envy their knowledge

Replace all modded .9.png with original files, decompile, make your changes, compile.
The person who made the theme did it lazily and incorrectly. The first couple versions of my ROM had this problem. Did some research into how .9 PNGs work.
If you want to fix them, I can tell you how. It's a bit tedious.

Spent a couple days fixing every .9 PNG one at a time. All you have to do is:
Decompile the unthemed .apk
Copy the broken PNG equivalents from the unthemed .apk
Decompile the themed .apk
Delete the broken .9 PNGs
APK Manager will rename the broken xxxxx.9.png to xxxxx.png
Open the non-broken PNGs in your favorite image editor
Delete everything but the 1 pixel border
Paste the edited PNG over it, without touching the 1 pixel border
Save
Recompile the themed.apk

You can just edit the broken png in draw9patch (or gimp or whatever) but sticking to the patch 9 png rules
Thanks for sharing !
Could you briefly explain how the editing in draw9patch is done, please.

But lets say I want to change the default blue of 'statusbar_background.9.png' to full plain black. If I leave the 1 pixel border and fill the rest to black, wouldn't I have a blue border in the status bar?

No, there's a special one pixel border that has black and transparent pixels that tell the system how to stretch the image without making it look stretched.
That's why you'll note that .9 PNG files are buttons and other things that are used to make different sized objects.

Hello everyone.I would like to ask something and i hope someone will answer.
I'm fan of some themes.But in one theme i like that and in the other i like that.
Is there a way to make a mix of them and how?
Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, it is possible.

Thanks a lot.Now i need a lot of study to accomplise that!!!
you can easily change the png files in the framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk of any theme's zip.just take any theme as a base and change the pngs within opening the theme and then the apks by winrar or something like it.the pngs are stored in the drawable-hdpi and/or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders.
Whenever I try to change framework res, and replace the old edited frameworkres I get bootloops. After that I have to flash a stock rom with odin and then flash my cooked rom. Even if I push the original framework res.apk, that doesn't solve the problem. No issue with twframework res.apk. I can edit twframework res .APK and works fine.
Please help.
try using 7zip instead, its better at replacing files

reflashing a whole rom shouldn't be necessary
first of all, you should make a backup of your system, just in case
and you should always keep a working theme on your phone so that if you get stuck at boot, you just boot into CWM and flash the working one and everything should be fine again
and for your basic problem of editing themes, have a look at R64s guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10383323&postcount=577
explains all the basic stuff and works great for me
Hi! I noticed this bug in ock's theme originally and then when I was trying to make my own theme banged heads with it myself.
The issue is that in the browser the combobox button seems to spill over into the text and generally is stretched poorly.
Like this:
I tried at first simply creating a .9.png version and removing the originals and replacing with the .9s. This made the bar vanish completely.
Eventually I got it working with a bit of a work-around, by compiling the .apk twice and extracting the images.
Having to explain that process recently lead me to the real answer though.
combobox_disabled.png and combobox_nohighlight.png ARE .9.pngs even though they do not have the .9.png extension.
apkmanager won't decompile (or compile) them as .9's because they don't have the right extension (and the right extension 'breaks' the theme).
Attatched are my .9.png versions of both images. I added the guidelines from scratch, but they seem to be correct. If your theme has this issue and you need to fix it, just drop the 'compiled' versions into your res/drawable-hdpi and apk-manager should happily compile it and the issue should be resolved.
tried both versions to just replace the ones in my framework-res.apk (didn't decompile the file but just replaced the files) and both didn't solve the problem.

That -may- not work. That was one of the first things I tried to do - replace with .pngs straight from stock without a decompile/recompile of the whole apk.
The format of the zip file might be slightly ambiguous.
9s - are the raw pngs with draw9patch guidelines.
compiled - are the compiled draw9patch pngs. If you use a draw9patch compiler on the files in the 9s directory you get these.
Even though the pngs are compiled you still need to go through the decompile/recompile procedure with apk manager. (using the 'compiled' pngs).
sargorn, I've tried several times to decompile and recompile the framework with no luck. The new framework is ok, except this damn combo box rendering.
I personally gave up trying :|.
Toss me the framework and I'll give it a shot.
here's mine, based on JVB. thx fo giving it a try

Hi,
I tried decompiling and then recompiling your framework and it does not recompile.
zzzzz_tw_quickcontact_slider_btn_pressed.9.png and zzzzz_tw_quickcontact_slider_btn_selected.9.png were both 0 bytes.
If you've just been replacing images this probably won't work
Here it is decompiled and recompiled with stock copies of those two files and the combo box 'fix'.
The filesize seems very 'off' so I'm not sure if it'll work or not.

I've just de/recompiled JVH's framework-res and the combobox fix still seems to work. (Although maybe it's not needed in JVH, didn't test it!).
I tried it again with JVH and failed again. What I did:
1. decompile framework-res.apk with apkmanager
(2. make some of my changes to some xml files)
3. place the 2 files from compiled in drawable-hdpi-v4
4. recompile the apk
Everything but the comboboxes works as expected.
I'm attaching the apk, maybe you could have a look at it. If you can make it work please tell me what I did wrong. Many thx

Looking at your framework I can clearly see that those images in there are not fixed.
Try simply dragging and dropping the fixed pngs straight into your framework

yep, you need to update apktool for use with Android 4.0

-Wrong version of aapt.exe in Android SDK (get latest SDK)

I pulled the music apk, edited it, rebuilt it, and put the edited files back in the original apk. I did that because I don't know how to sign my own apk so I just used the already signed one with some edited png and xml files. The thing I don't understand is that I pulled an apk once and opened it via 7zip and edited some things, pushed it back and everything was fine (changed out some icons on the contacts.apk)
Do you know where an up-to-date theming guide can be found? I'm very interested in making my own themes instead of requesting themers to make one. Learning experience and all that jazz.
Thanks.

Actually, GoogleMusic.apk is found in data/app not in system, at least in the ROM I am on. But, am I correct in assuming that I can do the same thing in this instance?
Furthermore, is there no way to theme a single application? Do I need to always theme an app, place it back into the ROM zip, and reflash said ROM?
Can I make my own flashable zip file for a single app?
Sorry to ask so many questions, I just really like tinkering with things and I would really like to get good at theming.

wut? i've never done what you guys have when it comes to compiling/decompiling and replacing stuff. i'm not so sure that works, but i'll take your word for it for now since i've never tried it either. in theory, you can decompile and change xml, recompile and replace that xml, but not if you're dealing with the actual xml folder in apks. your resources change when you mess with that. this is the same for changing smali, except something else changes (it's been a bit since i've dealt with actual dev stuff).
also, it's a big waste (and sometimes troublesome) to flash an entire ROM to update one or a few apks. making one for just testing out things in \system\ will save you time and frustration. you can also make a backup easier for if something bootloops you
Success!!!
All right, first and foremost, thank you immensely for all the suggestions Kevin and others as well.
Here's what I did. I searched the ROM zip to no avail, but then found the apk in the gapps zip. I took it out of there, decompiled, messed around with just a few png files, recompiled and put it back into the gapps zip. Flashed it and it worked. Problem is, only a couple of the edits I made showed up which brings me to my next issue, ICS optimised apps have a tonne of "drawable-***" folders. Drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-hdpi-v8,v9,v11, drawable-xdpi, etc....ad nauseum.
I am not messing with any smali code, xml files, or .9.png files yet as I don't know what smali does, xml is a headache, and I have heard horror stories about .9.png files.
I'm going to dink around and see if I can sort out what items need to be changed for my current dpi setting (241) and will report back any findings, but probably not tonight as I have an early course in the morning followed by work.

See this is how I read it too. I believe the OP means that he's making changes and then replacing the apk in the flashable zip. Not actually replacing the edited xmls in the original apk. Glad I'm not the only one that read it that way though

no decompiling is necessary for tweaking pngs.
smali code is for messing with policies, etc.
.9.png files can be a pain if you don't recompile the apk correctly.
and this should help with your dpi as far as what to edit so you can see it...

Personally, I've found that if all you're doing is adjusting the hue or saturation (the color of the image) you can straight make the edit. At least I've had the two changes I've made work without doing anything special.

Thanks, but I'm just moving from one theme that I'm porting, to the other, which is the ported one.

So you're having trouble moving the image to the new .apk or what are you asking?

Okay, I have a stock framework, and then I have a bunch of png's from another theme in the i9100 section, if I put a .9 image, it wont compile right. So again, if I put the. 9 from the theme to the stock, it wont compile.

As long as you're replacing files with the exact same name and not creating new ones it should compile. Alternatively, you don't even need to uncompile and recompile. Just take your stock framework and open (not extract) it in 7zip. It'll show you all the files. Drag and drop your modified files over into the 7zip window. It shouldn't have to compress them or anything, it'll just replace the files that have the same name. That's how I make all my modifications.
