Hey guys I need a bit of help..... I was trying to edit the drawables on my gf 's Eris in the framework-res.apk and when I recompiled the Rom and tried to flash my changes recovery tells me that the update script couldn't be verified due to framework-res.apk and aborts the installation.... what am I doing wrong? Do I need to sign this apk or something to make it work correctly? I did this on my Droid incredible the other day with no problem. I know there was another thread on this further down in Dec but unfortunately it didn't give me the answers I need...

I assume from reading your post that you updated the framework png's inside a Rom Zip package... You don't need to sign the framework, but you do have to resign the Rom Zip file. Try re-signing the rom file, that should get it working...

You can sign it using gnarlycs kitchen.
Edit: another thing you could have done is just pushed your modded frameworkres to its folder and rebooted the phone.

Sterricson Zip Signer, or get SignApkTool from the market and sign it on your phone... Just make sure you use the test-keys for the rom file...
I used zip signer from the market.... is there anyway I can use this to sign apk 's like HTC messaging and HTC IME so that I can edit drawables in those apps?

i could never get that **** to recompile correctly. i gave up.
I use apk manager to decompile, compile, and sign apks. Unless I'm adding pngs I'm which case I use apktool. If your just editing or replacing what already exists apk manager is the easiest way in my opinion.

Those won't install...you need to push them to system/app and reboot. No need to sign them unless you resign a whole rom.zip

Also for pc 7zip works good also. Just right click the file 7zip open archive drop your png where you want it. Close the apk and push it to system/app or where ever it came from.
If your on ubuntu just click your apk and drop your pngs. You don't even need an apk tool.

ok big time mess up...I downloaded apk manager....I used the command prompt to adb pull Browser.apk. I put this in the modding folder and used the script.bat file to extract the apk....I edited my files annd hit re zip apk and chose the option to retain signature for system apps. Then when I adb push back it seems to work fine but when I reboot browser doesnt show up in my app list!!!!! help please!!! where did I mess up? I even tried to zip align to see if that would fix it.....If I try to use coommand prompt to adb push the original browser.apk back into place it says error read only file system.....I'm locked out! ah!

To push the original browser, /system needs to be mounted as r/w which can be done with the command "adb remount"
As for the problem with the modded browser not showing up, try this:
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Browser.apk
adb shell chown 0:0 /system/app/Browser.apk
#now reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and reboot
the string you typed for the modded browser....i type that into a normal command prompt not into apk manager correct? I tried to put my normal browser back with adb remount and it still doesnt show in my app list but if i look with a file explorer the apk is in the right place....why wont it show up?
OK i actually pushed my old browser successfully and it wouldnt show in my app list....I then followed your instructions and did adb shell chmod and chown and reboot wipe dalvik and cache and it still wouldnt show up. I really dont wanna have to flash a recovery image....
edit: If it has any importance this is actually on a droid incredible i was testing for my gf's eris. So idk if it changes anything that this is actually an inc.

Does anyone know how to push a modded app to the HTC Desire and make it stay?
Because obviously on the HTC Desire pushing files normally with adb push doesn't make them stay.
Anyone got a solution?
what do you mean it doesn't make them stay?
if you push a file to the system/framework then it will be there
if it's the same file as one already in the phone then it will overwrite it
is your device in recovery when writing to the system folder?
sorry if im missing something here

Well I modded the smooth calender app and made the background transparent and then pushed it to /data/app where it was.
Works fine and shows up how it should.
But then when i restart my phone, it's gone, not in the app launcher or widgets menu but it's still there when I look for it in ROOT EXPLORER.

I've done that too, doesn't work.
Do I have to do it in recovery when pushing apps?
Because it lets me push apps when the phone is normally on.
the phone must be in recovery in order to write to the system
boot into recovery
remove from data/app and system/app the old file
push to system/app the new file
reboot

It needs to be signed and I've tried every guide possible on how to sign apk's but none of them work.
it doesnt have to be signed if youre pushing it to your phone
if only has to be signed if you want to be able to flash it
which is actually a good idea considering that adb push isnt working for you
if you send me or upload the file i can sign it for you and you can flash it in recovery

And i was wondering, couldn't I just take out the apps from that zip file and add more modded apps then flash them?
good good
if you unzip the file and then re-zip you'll lose the sign
i think you can add/remove files with a zip manager without actually unzipping
however the update script included in that zip will only allow flashing to /system/app
note that if you toggle signature verification in recovery then you can flash everything signed or not, although this is not good if you are distributing files.

I've used apktool and apk manager to try to do it and I get what looks like an apk but I can't get it to show up when I push it to my emulator. Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated, I'm new to android programming.

You assume correctly. I just don't think the apk is being compiled correctly. I see it in the /system/app folder on the emulator but that's as close as it gets for me.
Don't make it harder than it has to be, forget signing the apk and using that method. Simply open the apk your editing with winrar highlight the res folder, press delete, then copy over the res folder with the edited xmls. Hit okay, and push to /system/app, that's what i do. The other method is just to complicated and time consuming.

Ok, I tried bubby's method, and it show up now in the emulator but I'm getting FC. I was wondering if not transferring the xml back to binary could be the cause? I've seen lots of articles on how to translate the binary xml to human-readable xml but I can't find anything on transferring it back to binary.

U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it.

Check the post below. It's for the G2, but works for MT4G as well (just verified).

As the post suggests, put your Swype files in the same folder as ADB and you should be fine. Note that you will have to go to Settings > Language & keyboard, and manually enable Swype since it's disabled by default.

I do believe you can use AndroidMate from the market.
ok, so apparently I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Sorry if this appears totally n00bish but thats what I am.
If I extract the .apk and the libswypecore.so from another Rom and place them into their respective folders on the Rom I'd like to use, (ex. placing swype.apk into the "app" folder on cm7) and then flash the Rom and start from scratch, shouldn't that work?
I actually tried it and it didn't. Am i missing something? I was hoping the answer was that obvious but it failed. Swype shows up but i get "swype package you installed is configured for another device" message and it continues to only function as a regular keyboard.
I'd prefer to avoid going through the CMD prompt on my computer again because without super detailed instructions, I really don't know how to go about doing it. So if anyone, anywhere can help me out it would be super appreciated. I checked the forums and I keep getting lost in the words.
(perhaps shouldn't have rooted my phone if I can't make it that far huh? but we all have to start somewhere I suppose)
Forgive me for making this so long winded but the more details i give up front the less back and forth messages that wing clog up forums.

ICS Framework-res.apk does not like to be decompiled and recompiled by APK tool.
The work around is to use 2 different versions of APK tool and keep swapping files for decompile and recompile.
I have put this in a handy little batch file package to manage all this. It really is basic stuff, but hopefully for those who are not quite sure, it will ease the pain a little.
Please feel free to test it. Enjoy:
This is an updated script to modify ICS *.apk using APK tool.
I take no credit for Apk tool or the process.
I have simply automated it for Windows as there are issues with ICS framework-res modification

What command did you run when you did that?

You will need to be an administrator. Are you? If so try right click on the start script > Run as administrator
Just realised I somehow had left part of the usage instructions for the old version in the post by mistake. That maybe why some of you have issues.

The beauty of apks is that if you're swapping oranges for oranges, you don't need to decompile. You only really need to decompile if you're changing XML files.
To swap one image for another image with the same name is easy.
1)Download winrar (or 7zip - but I use winrar).
2)Open the apk with winrar (do NOT extract)
3)Delete the images you want to change
4)Drag the replacement images back in. When the window pops up with options, change "compression" to "store"
5)Close winrar

I did exactly what the OP says, extracted the files into the root of the C drive, ran the setup and clicked on the start.bat and followed instructions. I now ran the setup again and took a screenshot of what appeared because it was so fast I couldn't see it. It said access denied and 0 files copied. I then took ownership of the System32 folder and ran setup again and it said 1 file copied. I now ran the start.bat again and got the attached error.
So am I right in thinking that you can't simply merge folders/files and zip like you can with root explorer because windows is not a Linux system?

You can swap anything like-for-like. You can put in a replacement folder, xml file or png as long as everything has the same name.
If you want to edit an existing XML, you cannot do this without decompiling as when an xml is compiled, it does not appear as plain text. Similarly if you want to add more pngs or xml files, resources changed so it has to be decompiled too.
But if its simply swapping like-for-like, you can just use winrar or 7zip as mentioned earlier.

Then either wait until somebody decided to post you the apk
Or
You can extract it yourself, which may be faster.
Good luck.

Its ok Btw thnks fr help
@ankrishx18 if you have that tar.md5 rom stored on your phone or memory card temporarily delete the last part of the file extension so it's just romsname.tar instead of romsname.tar.md5
from there you'll be able to open it with zarchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver
and then extract/copy the apk from /system/apps/
you'll need to be rooted though in order to paste it into your own /system/apps/ folder and change it's permissions to 644 aka rw_ r__ r__ and then reboot.
if you have it on your PC you could try renaming it romsname.zip but I don't know if that will work (never tried it). don't forget to put it back to what it should be after
@3mel I just found this inside in system.img which was present in "rom.tar.md5"
when i try to open system.img with pc it gives me an error "The disc image file is corrupted"
and no system apps is visible inside this img
my bad I forgot that it's not like a zip would be inside.
there are 2 tools you need to open roms on PC and that's something I don't do so I can't remember the name of them. I'll see if I can hunt down the apk for you instead, but as I don't know what the original file size it should be this could be dodgy...
are you rooted ? and what version are you on ? I'll see about downloading a small custom touchwiz rom and extracting it from there for you if nobody else jumps in to help.
having trouble using the attachments here...
uploading this one stupid file took me 3 times longer than downloading the 1.1gb rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5rzfbgt3vuv9iia/SMusic.zip?dl=0 here is a zip file to the SMusic.apk file taken from a i9500 lollipop 5.1.1 rom that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop/rom-98-5-1-1-based-ale95-v2-t3304828
you need root to put this back into /system/priv-app/
permission will probably be 644 aka rw_ r__ r__ you'll need a root capable file browser to paste it and change the permissions. if pasting doesn't work you might need to mount system first which you can do with the terminal emulator app.
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
if needed this will let you paste into the system folder. just press enter after each line then use the file browser
reboot afterwards and test. if that doesn't work the mod you tried may have changed some library files.
