I think this tut is for advance users. But others can try
1. Get your "framework-res.apk" in /system/framework
2. Use apktool to decomplie that file. (I recommend apktool becoz I often use it )
- Command to decomplie: apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
3. Download source file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4u6y6udecy60dei
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. In extracted folder which u get from "framework-res.apk", find "anim" folder in \res
5. Extract source file in step 3, u will get 2 folder:
- anims
- other_files
6. Copy files from both folders in step 5 into "anim" folder in step 4
7. Open "integers.xml" in /res/value and find this line:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then add the following lines after it:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Complie your "framework-res.apk" with command: apktool b framework-res new.apk
9. You will get a file "new.apk" but dont use it. Open extracted folder which u get in step 2, u will find a folder "build" and a file is "resource.arsc" inside
10. Now you need to use 7zip. Right click on that resource file, choose 7zip > add to archive and select original framework-res.apk with type is zip.
11. Open "new.apk" in step 8 and original "framework-res.apk" with 7zip. Drag and drop "anim" and xml folders in "new.apk" to "framework-res.apk"
12. It's finished. U can use the file "framework-res.apk" now and see the transition.
Have fun! If u have question, just ask and I will answer

2. When ur ready, press Patcher.exe
3. Then press Enter
4. Once done patching, put the patchers (flashable zip) to ur phone and flash it!
Remember this is only for the CyanogenMod 7 or other stock AOSP, for Stock ROMs, please pm me the framework-res.apk...

Error When Re-compiling Framework-res

I tried SO HARD changing the black background like in the Settings and all but no joy.
I followed this for decompiling :
http://androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/520917-guide-how-properly-decompile-recompile-apks-apktool.html
I followed this for changing for changing the desired background :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343484
All turned out well till I wanted to re-compile back, i got errors as in the attachment below.

have you set the framework file? "apktool if framework-res.apk" before recompiling?
if it doesnt work, try
pull twframework.apk from your phone, and use it as above.
Hope it works, again, I'm nowhere near my laptop

you must add a picture into drawable-hdpi and name it as 'mybackground' just like the name what you set in styles.xml

Guys, I'm confused on the replacing part of "resource.arcs" and "modified files".
1. I already replaced "resources.arcs" in the original framework-res.apk with the " resources.arcs" from the build > apk.
2. As for the "styles.xml" that I modified, I have no idea where to put it.

You no need to replace "styles.xml", you are never find it inside apk after recompiled.
As he said, just replace "resources.arcs" and the "modified files".

Edit: Ok, I don't need to edit twframework-res.apk, i need to edit apk xml (in this case, Music.apk) I found the same xml inside, i'll try if work.
Edit2: It's work.

Can either of the apks be modified the change the 'theme' of TouchWiz?
Basically to get stock JellyBean look on Samsung Galaxy S2+. For eg, certain menus, radio buttons, preference activities etc...

Yes.
For 99% controls of ui you would need to edit framework-res.apk
Though i prefer apktool + 7zip

It's imposible for me to make a lookscreen screenshot.

Pretty cool, it would be neat to have something like this for Xperia S.

sorry for this bad shot

So this changes your lockscreen to the aosp one, and when you have rotation enabled it rotates your lockscreen aswell?

size depends on apktool aapt or other files. ıts not so important. if you truly decompiled and recompiled. Be sure on resources.arsc's compression method is STORE. Generally that causes this problem. run 2 apps (original and unsigned) with winrar. move edited xmls from unsigned to signed with normal compression. Move icons(if you added or changed) with STORE method and finally move resources.arsc with STORE method.
