I like the option to change music from anywhere via notification but i hate the cheap default album art in it!! So I like to extract the apk remove those pictures!! Does removing those pictures alone will cause any problems?? If the answer is yes I ll replace those images with my own images!!
So now regarding extracting :
Does extracting by zip & repacking again with zip & changing name as .apk is enough or do I want to extract using apk extractor/manager found in this forum (forgot its name) & repack & sign it with the same??
Regarding .odex file :
I have a rough idea about odex & deodexed files!! Stock application is usually odexed!!
Now my doubt is what I have to do with the .Odex file near the music??
Help me out soon
Sorry for my bad English & unframed question!! Cz am posting via mobile!!

Don't ever remove stuff, depending on how they are loaded / how well coded the app is, it will most likely cause null pointers and so force close.
If you mod an apk, replace stuff but don't remove or rename.
P.S. you could deodex the app, to make your life simpler, but deodexing is no simple task for system apps if you are not familiar with the process.
Maybe the solution, if you want to mod, is to get a deodexed rom and mod away.

Frameworks are not applications. But yeah, Musicplayer.apk is an application apk.
As for the Odex file... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Odex+file

i need to replace default album art with this png's !! for 400x400 i need that thumb_00.png !! please help me !!
also please teach me how to modify/edit/customise/repack/sign apk's !!!
1) Reflash your current rom (look for stock roms topic in Original Android Development forum)
2) ALWAYS do a backup of your files before messing with them, especially when you don't know how to recover them -.-'
3) Asked like this, nobody will do that for you. Moreover, that's iTunes, and we, as loyal Android users, won't take any of these into our droids.
4) To modify/edit/repack/sign APK, there's Google for that. It has tons of resources if you only take a second to type in your search, and one other to look at the links.

If you don't know what a .sh is, then you shouldn't be doing what you're trying to do.
P.S. you could deodex the app, to make your life simpler, but deodexing is no simple task for system apps if you are not familiar with the process.

Hi..
I got this idea just dont know how to do it..
can someone help me in building a flashable zip file just like GAPPS but the apps will not be treated as system file once installed(hope its possible),
In my case i comfile all the APK of all the apps that im using and install it one by one in between build if its possible to make the flashable zip file, reinstalling of all my APPS will be one installation all process.
this will help us alot in between updates of new build ROM.
i hope i explain it clearly.
thanks

Hey I have not edited the mms.apk which u have told.But you just asked for theming so i can help the simple theming guide
Use apktool to decompile these apk files after which you get the folder which contains res,smali etc files
As you are not modding just want to change the theme go to the res folder and open the drawable-hdpi,drawable-ldpi.
Replace the images you want to change with that from s3 and build it ....
Voila you got a themed app ...
Incase you want to edit the UI also like by adding more buttons kind of thing then you might consider doing some stuff around with the layouts and smali code..
In case of smali, learn from this site ..
http://androidcracking.blogspot.in/search/label/smali
Gud Luck.
Thanks i think this might help you,
optimus
PS:I think most of the res required for system files are present in framework.
Use the search button...
There are a lot of tuts forit...
But You can Also use APK Manager, its easy but not very good as apjtool...

Hi guyz,
First things about my device
~Deodexed Maximus ROM {Alpha}
~Tweaked
~My own Kernel
~And most of all... Bricked
How are y'all? I am making a custom Gaming ROM as mentioned before in the android development section. I am having a big issue here, it's that I modified framework-res.apk and I tried pushing through ADB but it Bricked. I even tried to flash it but no luck! You guys know I can't PM everyone as it takes so much time so... I need your help!
Also I tried to modify system apps like Gallery3D.apk or Settings.apk but all I get is that app disappears from my app drawer.
I know how to modify .9.png files, I take the reference from draw9patch. Any help would be Highly Appreciated!
Thanks & Regards,

Yep ... It boots well enough!
I tried Merruk kernel too but no luck!
Are you using a modified framework.jar
Might be your problem
I did not modify the framework.jar, only and only modified the framework-res.apk
I just changed the .9.png files and wallpaper...

You rename apps you need to edit smali files. I also didnt know how to rename my launcher but i searched a lot. To change color you need to edit xml files in res/layout or res/values.

2. The App Name is defined in the strings.xml in the res folder... But usually I get errors while compiling it back.. I dont know if this works for you
I dont know the rest... D-3V!L already gave you the tutorial about Rom name and dev name thingy
Changing text color http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151075
-respect older people-
To rename apps open androidmanifest . You might find something like 'android:label="@string/app_name" if u see some thing like this search for "app_name" (in this case ) and you will find the name of app in the strings.xml
if i hav accidently helped u, u can press that button,
colors are located in colors folder,
specifically
primary_text_****.xml
secondary_text_****.xml
etc. etc.
declared as hex codes,
please research the proper hex codes for your desired color,
and compile the apk properly to get best results,
preferably you could replace classes.dex with the previous unedited apk incase it does not install

Hello everyone!
I have deodexed and uploaded every single .apk and/or .jar file to a Google Drive folder for everyone that wants to use a file without downloading a whole firmware. I hope that this is gonna help users and future themers and modders.
The files are all taken from the Jelly Bean Stock Official XXAME1 firmware, deodexed, and then directly uploaded to my Google Drive folder.
Take a look at the folder and let me know your opinion about this.

Also, if you have any other ideas on how to improve the folder just let me know. :good:
Oh, just one more thing! I'm new to the Galaxy SIII Mini community, some of you may know me. I have created a couple of themes and mods for the Galaxy S Advance. Check them out! You may want some of these available to the SIII Mini! :good:
thanks for doing that
a few members have made a couple of posts asking for stock apk's
so i am sure this will be appreciated by all

That is what I was looking for too when I decided to make this. I needed the framework for a new mod for the SIII Mini but I couldn't find just the framework-res.apk file. There should be a folder like this for every device. :good:
Thank you!
