Is this something that could be done by decompiling framework and editing xmls or does this have to be built in from source?

I'm having trouble trying to recompile my XML edits, when I compile my APK by APK Manager, it doesn't compile the XML into a binary. Whereas its unreadable to humans, is there a tool I'm missing to try and compile the XML?

I would suggest:
- go to apk manager thread
- describe you prob
- name "what" u decompile/compile
- attach a logcat

I need help to change blink rate from the notification LED in framework-res.apk
When decompile in folder res/values are file integers.xml
I've change defaultNotificationLedOff to 500 to make faster blinking.
When I recompile apk and flash to phone it doesnt boot.
Can someone help?
Im on Omega v5
I am tying to do the same thing on my Sony Xperia ZL.
I have been using Apk manager to de and re compile.
The problem with me was that the new edited integers.xml did not show in the new recompiled fie.
In order to see what I am saying, decompile the framework-res.apk, make the changes in the integers.xml and then recompile.
Now Decompile you own work and open the integers.xml, you will be surprised what you see.
The changes you made do not exist.

I met the same problem. When I decompile the samsung I9500 framework-res.apk, then modify nothing and recompile it. When I put the recompiled file into the system, the system will auto reboot and can't go to the lockscreen.
But when I doing the same thing on HTC device, it works well, so why this happen?
So ive been trying to modify the framework-res.apk and i can decompile it but just cant recompile it, Even if i just decompile with no edits then re-compile it errors out with APKTool or XdaAutotool or apk multi tool. Anyone have an luck????

Are you using the S5 framework and twframework-res? Or perhaps you have an out of date decompiler. Did you copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from your the old apk to the recompiled apk? It's hard to guess at the problem since you didn't give us crucial details on what tool versions and steps you used or exact error messages you saw. There are a number of threads on the subject, so do a search to see what is working for others.
Hello people, I can't seem to manage recompiling essential's framework-res from latest P-BETA1.
I have latest apktool (2.3.3) and installed framework-res.apk from essential's beta-1 rom as the framework in apk-tool. But I can't manage to compile apks back, even if I don't make any changes.
I tried with framework-res, SystemUI. Normal non-system apks building just fine(duh). Anyone knows whether I'm missing something essential-specific? Is there a problem on my side?
