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

Hello all,
I am working on editing sense, and i need help changing the bottom bar, I have the apk ready to edit, but when i try to edit it, it comes in a note pad with a bunch of characters... help?
Extract the .apk to a location, grab the .png you want to modify, open it in Photoshop/GIMP/Paint, whatever... and finally re-save the .png.
Use 7zip to replace the .png inside the .apk.
Push modified .apk to phone.

I ran into a DroidDoesPink ROM which was Sense-able just redone in pink. I was wondering if this can be done with any rom? If any of them could be changed the color you want. http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/64009-droiddoespink-rom.html Here is the link to it. How could I go about changing the color to something i want? or is this not possible? Sorry if this a noob question lol

all you have to do is change the corresponding png files in the framework-res.apk
its found under /system/frameworks
lets pretend i dont know how to do that...
unzip the rom
find the framework-res.apk under system/frameworks
change apk to zip
unzip
edit the png files for whatever suits your taste
zip the files back up
rename to framework-res.apk
push that to your phone and reboot
awesome thanks ill see what i can do
when i zip them back up what settings should i use i tried to flash and it said cant open
you dont flash it
adb remount
adb push *new framework-res.apk* /system/framework
Actually got it working thanks!
So, i've been trying this for a while. It's not working. Are there any special settings I need to use to zip it? When I reboot the phone it just hangs on the androids on skateboards.
make sure you do exactly what is said and you name the file framework-res.apk and it switches to an apk file. i had trouble here but one you get that right it works great
here's what I did.
1. unzipped the CELB2.4 rom
2. went to /system/framework and renamed the framework-res.apk to a .zip
3. extracted the .zip
4. modified the .png's
5. renamed the framework-res.zip back to a .apk
6. booted my phone into recovery and in a terminal ran
./adb shell mount /system
./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
I tried the remount command and it doesn't work while in recovery
*Edit: just looked at the framework-res.apk file again. Although it says it's a .apk, it still acts and looks like a .zip without the .zip extension. What's going on?*

heres what i did...
create a new folder and put the framework-res.apk in there
archive it
open it up (dont extract)
you will see new folder open that
you will then see "framework-res.apk.zip"
take off the .zip extention and it will then become an apk file
extract it then push it to your phone

I can make an update.zip of that pink theme, or if you send me the rom update.zip you want to integrate it into, I can do that. Always happy to help.
you don't need to change the .apk to .zip it will open just like a zip file. easiest way is to drag and drop the edited png's back into the framework-res.apk without extracting it. I made the droiddoespink rom way back when and to be honest its probably a little outdated. I did update it with overclock and apps2sd though I think but if you are trying to change the colors to something else I would reccomend you start with a stock rom. You don't want to make everything orange and then have a pink highlight pop up somewhere. Also in sense based roms there are some png's in the htcresources.apk too. And to theme the dialer htcdialer.apk and phone.apk.

true.
the instructions i gave are how to do it on mac 10.4
I find that 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ is most helpful in this type work in that allows you to open the .apk "archive" files
Hope this helps

try resizing the edited files to what the unedited files originally were
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, Thanks Conap, you're the man! That did the trick for me. I had to not extract the .apk just open it with archive manager and drag and drop the files/folder. White and red here we come!

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to change the colour of the selection colour in Stock Android (I think it's already Green in Sense Roms)? But in Stock it's Orange, I want to know if there's a way to change it to Green?
I'm guessing i just need to alter a colour code in some xml file somewhere but absolutely no idea where to start looking!
Cheers
Paul
Its in the framework-res.apk in the /system/framework folder. There are png files that you need to edit.
Use APK Manager 4.9 to decompile the file, then edit with Photoshop and compile the file again.
Make a flashable CWM zip file and flash it.
Search on the board for the how-to's.

Cheers Brain - Exactly what i was after! I'll give this a go this evening!
Well...if you succeeded, would you mind sharing it with us? Thats one thing im searching for since using gingerbread.
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
.......................................................
Sent from my loved atrix ;D
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
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 ?
