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.

Jeeeeeeeeeezzzz....
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 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,
Imranabbas22

Thanks,

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...

I know the stock framework.jar and custom rom framework.jar are different
I don't know in what way though
I dont know about the framework.jar but there are smali files inside the framework-res.apk
I am starting to worry now

Your question is too vague - state exactly what you want to do if you want support from members
There is lots of things you can edit in framework-res and android.policy
Best to type into Google what you want to do and search for a guide
It looks from your pics you have just created a working folder in kitchen
You need to decompile the apk you want to edit with apktool then edit xmls smalis and pngs - again search for a guide for exactly what you want to do

i replace the framework, and the systemUI dont think how to edit all, im very noob

again too vague - you cant just say you want to replace the SystemUI - that is an entire apk - Unless you are just going to replace it with a SystemUI.apk from another rom but I would not recommend that as if you are going to release the rom you wouldn't have permission to do so plus the apk may have dependences of other apks and mods that you would also need to include
You need to know exactly what you want to mod
If you want to mod the SystemUI.apk you would need to decompile the apk with apktool and edit what you want - You will find guides to do this if you search google - You will find a guide to decompiling apks in my signature which has all my threads.
If you want to add lidroid toogles for example search for galaxy y xda how to add lidroid toggles in google
Same if you want to edit the framework to add extended power menu search for that
You cant just say I want to replace this and that apk
Also calling yourself a noob is no excuse - You have to learn how to use google and how to use the search feature to find what you want to do and then read everything - Once you have understood the basics and you know what you want to achieve only then if after trying you can post in the respective threads for any support relating to the thread
Anyone know of a working smaller navbar mod (not using xposed) that works on MHC19I ? or able to point me in the direction of guide that allows me to attempt to make one myself ?
Looking to stay stock+rooted, rather than a custom rom.
TIA
EDIT - I've modified framework-res.apk for MHC19I - Grab it here. Mod changes navbar to 24 instead of 48 height.
* Backup your original /system/framework-res.apk and replace it with the download.
I'd recommend to flash resurrection remix rom where you can set the navbar to 24dp.

U can make it by editing framework-res.apk
Decompile framework-res.apk then go to res/values/dimens.xml there u can change it.

So I've decompiled and made the edit, recompiled and signed the apk, pushed it to my device and replaced the original.. but now it just sits on the bootup logo animination and I cant get past that stage.
Hopefully you have a backup that you can restore. If not, push the stock framework via adb

Has anyone taken the time to change deodex the SystemUI_ZTE file and making the edits to enable 3minit functionality yet? If so let me know, if not I am gonna work on it in the next few days. The pain was deodex odex files from what I remember, anyways thanks!

I can upload any deodex, file you may need to get to work,
I try but no luck and been short in time to keep trying.
P.S. B29.Community ROM & Dmix7 or any ROM base on both of my ROM are deodex.
If you can get me the the the deodex SystemUI_ZTE file I can get the other files needed if not I may have time to deodex it myself I just remember that deodex for odex file was a pain and I will have to teach my self how to do it again.

P.S. Superr's Kitchen is a beast for cooking ROM and Deodexing is what I been using by the way.

Thanks man I will get on it, if it goes alright you will have to start a thread in apps and themes and post the files since you are good at that kind of stuff
Well I got the files and made the changes and flashed and it.... Didn't work. Now when I was in one of the XML files making some edit I noticed that ZTE pulls it's battery file from another app kind of like 3minit does. So the problem is going to be tracking that down and making some more edits... Error oh well the standard procedure didn't work, but I have not given up it will take longer and I might have to change another app or have one deodexed, but I will let you know.
