hi, i just tried to open a nexus one image to extract all the png files, but failed. does anyone know how or where to get all these files, like banners, battery meters etc.?
thanks in advance!
You cannot someone else's images without permission unless they have open sourced it or given you permission.
Try renaming the .apk to .zip and look in there.

How i can Repack an APK, actually i take a look into my framework-res.apk y just rename to framework-res.zip and unpack as almost all know, i can then replace my drawable png but after this what should i do? to push it using adb (not recovery) do i need sign this apk??? can i use ZipSigner in case i need? or just push?
And last question: i want to create more stats for my battery:now the Atrix has:
stat_sys_battery_40.png
stat_sys_battery_50.png
....
and so on 10 in 10 i want to make 1 by one (of course i need make the png) but its just posible make this?
stat_sys_battery_41.png
stat_sys_battery_42.png
stat_sys_battery_43.png
....
stat_sys_battery_100.png
Thanks a lot
Bump please

I think even if you create the stats files, the system won't pick them up. The Gingerblur ROM has them all in 1% increases, but only the 20% increments are shown, plus of course 15% and 10%.
To answer your question: in order to do this, you need to add the changed files the the framework-res.apk zip file WITHOUT unzipping it (drag and drop is your friend). The apk file is signed, and unless you know how to sign it (I don't), you cannot simply re-zip it. I changed the connectivity icons myself, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12404672&postcount=2136
You can change the framework-res.apk file live, but be warned - that may mess up your blur stuff.
*edit* use 7zip, you can open the archive directly, no need to rename
Probably all know that a drawing in stock APK is packed in .pro extension. Who can help to open to me this images.

Ive looked into this, i dont know how to opep them, but to replace them with other images, just get the image you want to replace it with and rename it .pro instead of .png
It's a secure png created with a nokia or something sdk. A trick I used to view them was to rename them to .png . Put that on my sdcard and then look at them through gallery
i have modificate blurphone.apk ( just a png file) and after this steps (Link) I have no network and fc.
Somebody can help me? I have read a lot of things about how to sign and modificate apps but nothing yet about Motorola blur system apps.
Thx
If you are modifying simple png picture then you can do it without decompiling and compiling, just extract with 7zip and modify them and install it back via flashable zip.
Did you tried to put the apk without signing ?

I think i haven't followed well your steps, so i have tried again and now it's run.
Thx very much.
... to "flash" or otherwise install theme type mods such as changing a notification icon, without recovery? I had experimented with framework type flashable zip files to do with on my GS3 and always flashed from recovery. I am trying to (at least for now) keep from tripping my KNOX.
Also is there a wifi hotspot app or mod that also does not require recovery?
With a towel root, I can probably do everything I want, and keep my KNOX at 0, if I can do these two things.

Sure. It's just more work. Having root gives you the necessary permissions to change system files and do anything that a (recovery) flashable zip file would.
But pragmatically, it wouldn't be reasonable to expect everyone going around writing custom install scripts for your theme mods when the common practice is to package them as a flashable zip.
The solution? It would be eminently useful to learn how to make manual changes yourself. Theme mods typically modify a system file e.g. TouchWizHome.apk or SystemUI.apk. You can make simple edits or replace packages with a root aware file browser e.g. FX. And more advanced edits with a decompiler like apktool.

Oh I don't expect others to make my scripts. I was making the zip packages myself.
If I understand you correctly, I can use something like FX to replace the an icon in one of the .apks? Those are zip type files but FX can do that?
As I already said, yes you can. Icons are (usually) especially easy. It's literally just replacing an icon with a file browser, usually in the xxhdpi360 drawable folder of the apk.
Something like
Copy the apk to another directory or your PC
Temporarily rename the .apk to a .zip file
Use FX Root to browse the compressed file and locate the icon you want to change.
Delete the icon from the zip.
Drag and drop the new icon to replace it.
Rename the .zip back to .apk
Browse to the folder where you copied the apk from
Rename the original .apk to .bak in case you need it later
Move your modified apk to the directory
Confirm that the permissions are still 0644 (long press to check.. but I've never seen FX mess them up to start with).
Reboot
That may look like a lot of steps but they are all trivial and you can do the entire thing in about 60 seconds.
Features e.g. suppressing nags or some colour changes may require decompiliing an apk.

I havent recieved my Zuk Z1 yet but I managed to extract camera apk and its libraries, I cant test it out obvisually but if anyone wanna try then heres a link for xcamera.apk and rest of files I found in that directory
https://mega.nz/#!55gFnKgL!iTDjvJQzXSJhxE5tyNaJGYHaUvOoBKf7K_Jaq5vsyRA
(zipped file so just unzip and you will get xcamera folder with xcamera.apk + lib and arm folder inside)
The rom from where the camera apk files resides in was taken from the zui rom on this page
http://www.androiddevice.xyz/2015/10/zuk-z1-rom-download.html
system.img
\priv-app\Xcamera
More work is probably needed though to make it work so if anyone is up for the task then please go for it
Edit: Was poking around a bit more in the system.img and found a bunch more camera related files in \vendor\lib as you can see from attached image, let me know if it will help for anyone who wanna try to make it work and ill upload those files aswell

I can take those files and see how I get along with the installation? I think as long as the permissions are correct and the files are in correct place. It should work.
Any luck guys?
