since i cant get metamorph to work on cyan i want to make my theme a flashable zip. i know were the images are located and everything in an apk but whats the best easiest way to decompile the apk then recompile with my edited images. should i just rename the apk .zip and then rename .apk wen done or will that unsigne it. or should i use apktool and just "apktool d framework-res.apk" and recompile using apktool? thanks for any help
I'm not sure about the correct way to do it, but I have edited the framework-res.apk fine by just rename to .zip, edit some pictures within the drawable-hdpi folder. Put that folder back in the zip then rename to .apk. Then just adb push to the correct location and reboot and everything is fine and looking good.
It depends. If you're just going to edit images you could just open the apk using z7 or winrar and replace the images. If you're going to edit xml files you'd have to decompile it using apktool.
I really wanted the Motorola Weather widget, so I download the system app dump of the Defy, and found what I desired. An .APK file and an .ODEX file. I have no problem installing the .APK, but what is the .ODEX file? Is it important? And if yes, than how do I install it?
You should put the odex file in the same folder where apk was copied during the installation.
Or, without installing, copy apk + odex in /system/app folder.
can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to install apk tool on my windows pc?
i have downloaded windows install file and apktool file but dont know how to install these or where to put them.
plz help i want to mod apks and resize some widgets etc.
any help is apprecitiated thx
All you do is extract em . First one then the last zip. All in one folder.
Then open a cmd window to the folder.
You will also need to place a copy of the framework res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk in the folder. Also whatever apk you wanna decompile. Such as rosie.apk for example .
Apktool if framework.res.apk
Apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
Then whatever apk you wanna decompile
Apktool rosie.apk just using for exp.
When done
Apktool b rosie
You now have it rebuilt . You may need to resign things to have it install right on your phone . Unless Sig check is disabled.

You must set right permision after copy app to system
First you need to recompile the folder
Code:
ApkTool b (foldername)
after that you need to mod the system permissions or sign with an other system apk
How to do that?
copy meta inf folder and the xml file from the original apk

Guys use advanced apk tool for editing apk files , after recompile apk file change resources.arsc by using 7-zip or winrar
