well, there is some custom frameworks for honeycomb and transformer I think.
i will research a little bit more to see if this is possible.

Oh... i hoped that we can easily decompile framework.res
If you find the way - post it here: i really want to make some cool graphic tuning to HC.

Ok, after a google moment I find that just need to update apktool.jar to decompile and compile again honeycomb apk, but now!!! the problem is that we can't just sing and replace on our system, so in other versions of android it is possible just to replace edited files from the compiled unsigned apk on original signed framework-res.apk
Yesterday I kill my Iconia a couple of times, but its easy to fix with a full base update.zip
I will try different ways to reaplace the framework and post if it works.

Question about framework-res .apk

Hi.
When replacing framework-res .apk with another one,
does the framework has to be compiled from the same
rom or can i use a framework-res .apk from another rom?
Also what do i have to edit to be able to change the
settings?
Like adding colour or making it look like iphone or ICS.
Thanks

The Framework-res.apk has to be compiled from your actually ROM, cause this have the entire UI System and features from the ROM.
If you want to costumize the color, forms and styles, you have to descompile "SystmeUI.apk" with the framework-res.apk from the same ROM. I Guess.

[Solved] Adding t-mobile theme chooser to Aosp, facing some error

Hi guyz, I am adding t-mobile theme chooser to AOSP, I have got success in picking the required commits, solving conflicts and compiling the build but after everything I get force close on clicking the Theme-chooser. Mahdi advised me that its because of SElinux permission error, I found this commit and picked it https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/6048f74c242a936a76b87092fc9d2303b42ea137 but still the same error.
Here's it the main error
Code:
I/ActivityManager( 612): Start proc com.tmobile.themechooser for activity com.tmobile.themechooser/.ThemeChooser: pid=1764 uid=1000 gids={41000, 1028, 1015, 3002, 3001, 3003}

For complete log, refer to this link http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=nmjbb6YT
I have also tried to set the SELinux mode to permissive but no help

I was missing this commit https://github.com/Mahdi-Rom/android_system_core/commit/cc81fdf03b4d48fc10bc935453224167cfaf57a6.
Thanks to @iceandfire for the guiding me to this commit.
Special thanks to @Mahdi786 and @moneyolo for helping me out throught out this.

THis is the error i'm getting trying to install the framework. Am I using wrong framework? All I want to do is decompile dang apk rename package and recompile, this is killing me. Here is the error i'm getting.
Code:

There are a lot more talented people than me but I'll try my best to help you.
1. Make sure your have updated your apktool.jar to the latest version if using apk studio
2. You need to install the correct framework res for the app your trying to decompile. If it is a Google app then you are best using the latest cm framework res.apk so grab it from any cm rom that is the latest release
3. If it is a vendor app like Samsung then you will need the tw framework res.apk and the framework res.apk from the rom the app is from.
If you can tell me the app you want to decompile and the rom it's from I should be able to tell you which frameworks to install

Well its a custom made app from my buddy, he went away on vacation and my whole goal is to just change the package name so I can run 2 instances. He told me to go ahead, than left on holiday,
He is on stock lollipop, not custom rom.

OK then you probably just need the frameworkres.apk from cm 12 to be honest
