This is my attempt to get some more creativity, innovation, and roms here on xda. alot of people here have incredible skills but they cant be harnessed because they dont know what to do. if you are an artist we need you make icon packs. you have made 30 roms but you cant sign them. blah blah.
so no one abuse this but i attached a toolkit to do anything and everything with android on windows. im pushing this to be used for creating themes. hopefully it can help. but i thought it would be nice if everyone had this and the opensource community could start to grow even more.
i like this idea because it can help fellow Devs and even the watchers. everyone can get involved and give something to the community.
And now i present the Avabox
Any questions post them up.
OUTLINE------------------------------------------------------------
unyaffs-you have the ability to take system.img and data.img from you nandroids and get specific items from them.
Autosign- sign anything and everything. name your zip update.zip and follow the readme. roms themes, apps, anything.
Baksmali- put in apk in the folder. read readme. edit any icons wallpapers, anything. close it up and enjoy.
Perlscripts- this opens the boot.img for you.
Read the readme on all of these programs.
So this is going to be a quick tutorial Im gonna put up a video soon on how i got this to work on my computer
First things first download Avabox and unzip it in your C folder (same place you put androidsdk).
then get the java runtime from here not to be confused with the java development kit but since your there might as well grab it as well.
Install the java runtime then reboot
then open up avabox and click on autosign and place the zip you want signed in that folder and name it update.zip (dont add the .zip part it should already be a zip file).
then open up command prompt and type:cd\
cd Avabox/auto-sign
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip
After that last enter give it a second and look in your avabox/update file and you'll notice a new file called update_signed.zip
I know that this is almost word for word from the read me but a few differences can go along way expect a video shortly..... well around wednesday or whenever i can get someone to help with this
porting
im interested in learning how to port and combine different aspects of themes and other mods. will this do it or is there other software i need. I can do the work if shown the way. I read all the post everday with peopl;e asking for this and that and i do it myself. If shown I would help with requests as much as possible. HELP PLEASE
Thank you Avalaunch!!
so with this software, can i take a signed theme mod (like launcher or taskbar) and it will grab the images for me to edit, and then repack and sign to a flashable zip?
Everyone that knows how to use bak/smali, I have a question.
The modifications I made to the extracted pngs aren't getting transferred back to the original apk when I close it back up. Any Ideas? I'm getting really close to a breakthrough for 2.1. Any help would be appreciated

It changes the classes.dex and resigns it it looks like, but doesn't copy the mods of the pngs to the apk.

What do you mean? Baksmali and Smali are for decompiling classes.dex and opening it up for the .smali files that are inside. Smali takes that output and recompiles it back into classes.dex for your .apk or .jar file.
You need to update the baksmali and smali .jar's. You have older versions and that will cause issues with certain .jar and .apk's when decompiling. baksmali-1.2.1.jar and smali-1.2.1.jar are the latest versions and will not require the BOOTCLASS PATH to be included...
Does the autosign work windows 7 (64 bit)? I've heard issues with other autosigns on 7. If it doesn't, no biggie I got xp in a VM... lol

that description is a little confusing to a person that NEVER used smali/baksmali before. It makes it seem like after you edit the unzipped files, you could just run smali and it will put al the changes in the new apk.

What im trying to figure out is why would you even need to use baksmali/smali to edit .png's inside an .apk. All that needs to be done is opening of the .apk with 7zip, modify whats in /res/drawable etc then close...No need to sign .apks or anything. If anything, the script needs to contain something to extract /res/ * from the .apk to edit.

I'm actually doing more than that. I am changing the code to look for instead of <name of file>.jpg to <name of file>.png
While also putting the new png in the apk. Think that's possible? I changed all of the locations where that file comes up in the smali code.

i guess i need to explain more. i use baksmali to make apks easier to search through. for me at least. instead of changing the type and everything i just put it in the folder and baksmali then do changes and create a new archive. sign and change .apk. if you smali it back to apk then it wont save edits. sorry about that anyways has this helped people so far? i love showing that windows can be a dev platform

yes just google active perl i use win 7 64bit and when this toolbox was made, it was only made for certain people who had 64bit.
Sorry for the n00b question, but I have searched and haven't had much luck. Hopefully, this is the best place for this question. I just started editing .png's and updating some apk's files to customize some things on my phone for looks. However, I am really interested in modifying the taskbar and notification screen, but I have no clue where to start. Is there a guide somewhere I could follow to learn how to change them? What programs, if any additional ones will I need etc..?
Thanks for your help!
Figured it out on my own. framework.apk and resources.apk
I'm wondering if someone can point me in the direction of some resource or brief explanation on Rom cooking. I'm looking at trying my hand at it and don't know where to start. I have a general idea that its simply an archive with installation instructions but don't know how to theme it, change icons, do optimization or sign it.
Really anywhere you can point me to would be much appreciated.

Have fun learning!
Make sure you give credit when its due though!
ROMs basically consist of archives inside of archives. APKs are just archives and can be opened really nicely with 7zip. The best way to get started theming things is just to open up some apks, and find some stuff that looks familiar that you can change.
Tip: if you first unzip an apk, then pick through that folder to see what you want to change, then make your changes there. then when you're all done, take your modified files and drag them back into a 7zip window of that same archived 'opened' instead of unzipped. then they don't need resigned, (since you just modified files inside of the archive without unzipping it) and it makes changing things a lot quicker.
stray away from '.9.pngs' at first until you get the hang of the basics, then search for the guide on here for how to modify images ending in '.9.png'
then there are xml edits that i'm not too good at unless they're in plaintext. (and those inside of apks are not plaintext)
but you can really do a lot of very cool stuff while doing nothing other than editing images.
This is wonderful, thanks for some quick replies! I'm a pretty advanced computer user and avid Linux fan (run archlinux) so I think I can get this
Thanks again, off dinner then some learning. I hope to contribute soon.

I've figured out all apk files are really just zip files, but why am I not able to unzip the framework-res.apk file, edit the images within, then save it again without causing my phone to hang on boot?
Is there some step I am missing? I've tried rezipping with normal compression, store only, and only photoshopping and resaving a single image within the apk and still it fails.
How are images edited and updated? What am I missing?
I use apkmanager myself for most theming. You might look into it

An apk is a zip, but it's a *signed* zip
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Here is the way I do it. I use 7zip to do this and I think it is the only program that can do it.
The way you can do it is to extract the drawable-hdpi folder within the framework-res.apk then do all your edits and save them with the exact same file names. Then you can go back into your framework-res.apk and drag and drop the drawable-hdpi folder back in and it will over write the original ones. Now just hit the Up (like to move up a directory) button until you see the message "framework-res.apk has been changed. Update it in the archive?" then click yes. Now you can put it on your phone without force closing. If you were just editing framework-res and it was not within another .zip file then you won't get that message and that is fine.
APK Manager.
You can use extract/zip (2/3) for image-only edits, but you need to decompile/compile (9/11) to mess with xml files.
Do *not* sign system apks (like framework-res.apk). Do sign other apks.
Btw, this is in the wrong forum.
(Next step: learn about the update.zip packaging script. Remember to name it something besides update.zip afterwards, because on the Fascinate we're installing everything through Clockwork, which should be the only file actually called update.zip.)

I considered putting this in Themes, but this was a theme development question, so here it ended up. If the Theme and Development forums ever hook up and have a few drinks, then spawn a sub-forum, Theme Development, I assure you it would have been a much easier decision to make
Thanks everyone for helping me out. My last time playing with a phone is an old WinMo 5 device. Anroid seems limiting in it's own ways (no dedicated theme files (can't update without losing the apk theme), but much better for customizing for a 'look' of the OS.
OK seeing as my computer currently doesn't work, I need to know if there is an app for my phone that will at least edit the contents of an apk, if not compile one. Anyone?
Also, if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it, mods.

apk's are just renamed zip files.
If so, then is there an app that will directly edit zip files? And do they need to be set to store compression level? If so, is there an app that does so?

yes, set to store...all you have to do is long-press the file and select rename...same to change it back afterward. I don't know about what app will allow you to set to store, but there are a TON of free zip apps. Check the market
I need to edit them though, and if I extract it edit it then zip it with an app, it's not set to store.

Root explorer can open xml files in apps but I don't think it can edit them.
After modding the contents of a non-system apk file i believe you'll have to re-sign the apk. I dont know of any way to do that on your phone, i am admittedly not an expert though. Ive modded icons and such for apps and the only way I could find out how to get them installed was to re-sign them on my PC and push back to the phone.

The files inside apk is I think encrypted. normal text viewers (ex. notepad) cant see it. and the resource files (styles strings colours ) are archived again. Btw it would be great if we have an app to disassemble them within 4n. Coz copying apk from and to to computer is a pain

Well making it a zip on my phone didn't screw anything up. I can still browse normally. What I need is a means to edit a zip without compressing it, like you have to for bootanimatjons and everything else.
From my X10a running WB CM 6.1.3 V053
I would suggest having a look through the market....download every free app you can find and see if any help. There are so many out there that I have no idea which would work for exactly what you will want it to do. Really, trial and error is the best way, sometimes lol
eclipse
I'm not sure I understand correctly, some previously mentioned are right on track.
Contents of an APK file are as normal zip files, extract the APK with winrar, 7zip or similar program.. make modifications and re-zip it and change the file name.
Important process called "Zip Align" optimizes the file for the APK format and helps to optimize and align the archive for memory mapping I/O ensuring the payload is delivered correctly, for more info - mmap
If you would like to reverse an APK file, I choose to use APKTOOL a Google hosted project and complete with it's own reverse engineering syntax called "baksmali" - This wraps AAPT - Android Asset Packaging Tool part of the android SDK - need this installed.
An issue exists with obfuscated Java classes. Meaning source code has been scrambled (obfuscation algorithm) enabling it be understood by a compiler but no longer is human readable. Another issue is Signing the APK file as most installers are to authenticate the issuing publisher.
To build an APK anyone only need's have the Eclipse IDE and Android SDK installed and you can do this without even having an Android device by using the emulator to build and test your application.
Happy play!
EDIT: Apk edit and Apk tool are both able to help in this situation also.
Alright, last week or so, I said I was going to try working on themes and after a few days finally got the whole 9 patch PNG jargon figured out!!! It was a pain in the ass figuring out how it all worked and even after searching i was still unclear.
Software you will need:
Adobe Photoshop or equivalent to edit your PNGs, adjust transparency, add effects)
Android SDK Tools and SDK starter package
Xultimate-d9pc.exe and repsective .zip file (this converts the raw .9.png into a working .9.png)
draw9patch (included in the SDK Tools) *I am working on another way to cut this step out since it is what takes the majority of time*
Java JDK (For Android SDK Tools to work)
Android SDK: Click Me! Android SDK r12 Do all the updates for the tool packages.
Xultimate-d9pc: Click Me!! Extract this into the Android SDK Tools Folder!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Java JDK: Click.. for 64 bit Windows Click.. for 32 bit Windows
I have uploaded all of these to my website for your convenience. I don't have the quickest server, so be patient with the downloads!!
Sorry for no audio in the video either. I didn't have a Mic hooked up and figured a video tutorial would be enough. Below is a youtube link and the pasted instructions from the youtube video.
WARNING: the steps below look intimidating, but really are quite easy after you grasp the idea.. I created so many steps to keep the total n00b in mind.
Step 1: Send the .apk that you want to modify from your phone to your email (or transfer your way of choice)
Step 2: copy the .apk somewhere on your harddrive (I put all my android stuff including tools and SDK in an 'android' folder as you will see in the video)
Step 3: open up the .apk in 7zip and navigate to the drawable folder (in this case; res >> drawable-hdpi)
Step 4: highlight all the pngs and .9.png's you would like to modify and copy them to a folder (this is where you will make your edits outside the .apk and compile them at a later time)
Step 5: Open the .9.pngs in photoshop and have some fun! (use your creativity to add overlays, borders, glows, etc.) tip: don't get to complicated, because you will need to pick split/stretch points later for the 9 patch conversion.
Step 6: When done modifying the .9.pngs, just save and overwrite the files you would like (in the case of the MMS app, the same image is used for multiple bubble files)
Step 7: Open up ONLY the .9.png's in the draw9patch tool located in your android SDK tools folder. Add the 9 patch data as shown in the video. Tip: some people only add one middle top and middle left split point/pixel, but i find its usually easier to add TWO points for the top and left quadrant as you will be picking your EXTENTS of where you want the content to be.
Step 8: On the right and bottom quadrant, create a solid line connecting the respective pixels together. These two steps will add the information to the PNG of where to split and stretch from, while also giving constraints of where the content can go.
Step 9: After all the 9 patch images are saved in draw9patch, if you open them you will notice the black pixels you just created. Do NOT, DO NOT try and recompile the .apk at this point, thinking you are done.. the bubbles (in this case) will look like crap, because you are not finished yet.
Step 10: Copy (or move) the newly created .9.png's into the ORIGINALS folder for the xultimate.exe software.
Step 11: Run the xultimate.exe. This will take about 2 seconds or less.
Step 12: naviigate through the 'done' folder and you will notice the .9.PNGs no longer contain the black border pixels!!! CONGRATS!!!
Step 13: Copy all modified images back into the open 7zip .apk archive and overwrite all the existing.
Step 14: replace your current .apk on your phone with this 'new' .apk and enjoy!!
and finally...
Tutorial -couldn't get youtube tags to work.
*If anyone is wondering why I Copied to the REV 2 folder but did the tutorial on the REV 1 folder, I was just demonstrating how to copy the files, but was working on my theme in the Rev 1 folder. DONT BE CONFUSED!!*
Thank you kind sir!

This could be useful enough to move to Themes and be stickied with dreams tutorial.
Only reason I didn't throw it in those forums yet was that I figured a few people could try it and review the process before it became a 'good' tutorial. I know sometimes a tutorial is easy to understand or works for some people, but others have issues or don't understand the directions as well.
I hope this works for everyone and people are less intimidated to mess with this type of stuff!!
Relating to my other thread, I will continue to work on the MMS and Swype theming, I just wanted to get this together so everyone can start theming!
Wow, this looks very "easy"
Maybe I'll finally be able to edit .9.pngs without help

Why not just use apk manager to decompile, edit the .9.png's leaving the black outer border pixels alone, then recompile the apk, extract the modded png's, then copy them into the source apk?

That's fine in some instances, but it wouldn't really allow you to create .9pngs that are of a different size....
Also...I would think editing them in say GIMP only would "corrupt" the draw9patch data? It seems to me that it's more than just having a few pixels as borders and guidlines, it's also the files data in relation to those pixels

Exactly. What I do is cut all but the 1 pixel border into a new layer, edit that layer, merge the layers and save. I understand the concept the op is stating, but all of this can be done with the method I said as well. If you want to completely change, or add png's you will need to also make xml edits to add the image there or change container sizes, which is done by decompiling with apk manager. The only thing you might have to do is run the images throught the draw9 tool, but in most cases you wouldn't even need to do that.

I have a question. How do you create a new 9.png to use, for example with miui lockscreen. I dont really get that. Do I have to create the 9.png as the same as the original 9.png on the lockscreen. just wondering. Any help would be appreciated

It really depends on what image it is and what you want it to do. Some aspects that you might think are controlled by an image might actually be controlled by a xml file.

Sure, you can take the name of the image and search for it in the xml files. Very easy to do with windows explorer. I use it to fine images and color codes all the time. If you know how to read the xml file you can see how it all works.
I don't know what file you're wanting to edit, but that might help. I'd throw up some resources I've used for you but I'm at work right now.
