[Q] editing framework-res.apk

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?

Well I know how to sign sips I just want to know if I can sign apps like HTC messaging so they'll install on my device.... if I unzip and rezip afile it won't install on my device... will signing it fix this?

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.

That does work as well but doing it that way you will need to optimize the .9's if you change them also. xultimate works great for that.

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.

[Guide/Contribute] Are you running the kitkat update? look here if you want to help

This thread only applies to people running the Kitkat update, so please only post here if you are and want to help contribute to xda.
I will give instructions below so you can pull you system and boot.img and upload it so i can make a flashable.zip for everyone
and possibly a custom rom.
its actually very easy to do, so don't be put off if you are new to this stuff (i made a script to do most of it for you)
1.)
Download this small "adb and fastboot" package > link , extract it to a folder on your desktop,
2.)
Turn on usb debugging from developer settings on phone,
if you have no developer settings, goto: settings/about phone
keep pressing on build number until it says you are a developer, press back and developer settings should be at the bottom.
3.)
From the folder you just extracted double click "DoubleClickMe.bat" look for a popup on your phone and press accept.
4.)
Wait while it does its thing, and when it finishes you will have the whole system dump in the folder on your desktop.
5.)
Now to get the boot.img you will need to be rooted, continue where the system dump finished
by copying & pasting each line of code into the box
Code:
adb shell
Press enter
Code:
su
Press enter, and make sure the display on your phone is turned on so you can accept the superuser request
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/boot.img
Press enter, the boot.img will be on your sdcard

bumping this for greater visibility

I got the whole system dump on my desktop already but I can not root my phone

If you can get clockworkmod Recovery to boot (or installed), you can root this way:
Put attached file on internal storage.
Boot into Recovery (CWM)
install zip > choose zip from /sdcard

Please upload system dump to solidfiles.com or uploadhosting.co

we need all of it, make a new folder named "system" and add all the folders to it and build.prop
then if you have winrar installed just right click on the system folder and select add to archive and upload the system.rar it creates

no personal information is in the system partition, not even sure where the IMEI is stored but its definitely not the system,
think it has its own hidden partition with the serial number etc.

Thank you for your efforts.
As for the IMEI, it's not stored in the system per se, its in your efs folder, which is a system folder in the internal partition. I could be wrong, but flashing usually clears the contents in the efs folder, so it shouldn't be an issue.

AFAIK, EFS is Samsung specific.....??
http://rescueroot.com/android/how-to-back-up-efs-on-samsung-devices/
What is an “EFS”?
EFS refer to a folder location called /EFS in Samsung’s Android devices. It is a very sensitive folder hidden within the deepest core of your smartphone’s internal file system and is very essential to the functions of our smartphones.
One of the very sensitive information you can find in this folder is the information regarding your phone’s unique IMEI number. As you may have guessed by now, it also contains other unique identifying numbers for your smartphone including the MAC address for your smartphone’s radios, as well as the MEID, ESN, as wells as the registered phone number for locked smartphones.

You're correct. My last device was an SIII, hence my ignorance in assuming it was a universal thing. Sorry for the confusion.
The point should still stand though, IMEI is not part of the image.

How do I stop new Firmware from downloading?

It can't install automatically without your permission (shouldn't).
My suggestion to get the update is Odin back to 100% full stock image. Then you can take whatever OTA is at your hearts desire. Then you know everything is so fresh, so clean :good:

Then we just wait for word on root ?

That's what I'm going to do. I hear a lot of interesting things about 4.4.2 - how it breaks SD Card access etc... I am VERY happy with 4.3 with the rom I've chosen and will happily await a Clean Rom 4.4 before I even think about 4.4.
I have 4.4.2 on my Nexus 7 2013 tablet and it's good - hopefully it'll mean even better battery life. Pretty happy with the 2x battery life increase after I've rooted. Here's to hoping for more in 4.4.2.
Fyi - googled and I can't find anything about 4.4 coming to Note 3 via Verizon. Back when I had Droid 1 and HTC Thunderbolt us rooters got ICS way before it came out to the carriers. lol.

OP, do you have a link?
I disabled both Knox and the OTA update in MJE by using a root file explorer (Solid Explorer) and changing file permissions to 0000 ("---------") of a couple .apk/.odex files in /system/app (followed by rebooting) :
ContainerAgent{.apk,.odex}
ContainerEventsRelayManager{.apk,.odex}
KLMSAgent{.apk,.odex}
KnoxAgent{.apk,.odex}
KnoxAttestationAgent{.apk,.odex}
KnoxStore{.apk,.odex}
SDM{.apk,.odex}
FWUpgrade{.apk,.odex}
LocalFOTA.apk
This allows them to be restored at any time by chmod'ing them back to mode 0644 ("-rw-r--r--"). I suppose this is similar to "freezing" in TiBu. The first group are Knox-related and last three are involved in the OTA, but it might be sufficient to only disable the SDM{.apk,.odex} files.
cheers

how do I disable SDM{.apk,.odex} files. using root file explorer. I found the files I do not see anyway to disable them?

Rename them to .bak files.

If I move the file to my sd card would that do the same thing as disabling them? Would it mess up my OS not to have it in my system file.
I do not see how to rename any file? Please explain the process of renaming.

I haven't used root explorer, but I know that both Solid Explorer and ES File Manager have a way to change the file permissions mode - usually by press-and-hold on the file name, and then select "Properties" or some such from the pop-up menu.
You can also rename them if you want as suggested above (but obviously don't delete the {.apk | .odex} suffix so you won't get the two of them confused) - for instance Foo.apk -> Foo.apk.bak and Foo.odex -> Foo.odex.bak
[Edit] Also: Some root-aware file explorers make you manually remount /system in rw mode before you do anything, and some take care of it for you. If your permission changes / renaming operations fail, it's because of that. (Solid explorer just does it for you).

Usually there is a menu in your file explorer which is brought up by long-pressing on an individual file name. I would recommend you leave the files in place and either rename them or make them unreadable (mode 0000) - moving them to the SD card and back will destroy the SElinux extended attributes of the files (if any). Then a couple months from now you won't need to remember where they are. They won't do any harm just sitting there.

Do I take out work apk and put in bak instead?

Got it thanks

If you have root you can download fx file manager and the root add on from the play store or a similar root file manager. This will allow you to rename the files you need. You can move or delete them if you want. All the custom ROMs remove them without issue. Another option would be to purchase Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the apps with that. That is my preferred method with a stock rooted rom because all you have to do is unfreeze them and then unroot to take the OTA. With that in mind I would heed the advice of others and stay away from KitKat until a root method is confirmed if you value having root access.
Edit @bftb0 beat me to the answer when I was typing...

Just changed it and the app became a blank. When I put back the app and took away the bak the app did not appear again it is still a blank what do I do to get it back in system tray. Right now it is a blank page?

There will be plenty of lemmings that rush to the sea, afraid that they are going to miss something by not downloading an update on day one.
So, wait a week or two to see if any of them make it back to shore with their root privileges still intact. Their pain will be your gain. You'll also have the benefit of reading review articles on-line that will tell you if there is anything compelling in the update; my guess is that your phone already works quite well.

Extremely confusing and vague language "changed it", "the app became a blank". also "system tray" and "put back". Huh?
Don't use pronouns such as "it". Nobody knows which "it" you are talking about.
It is possible that your file browser needs to "refresh" it's listing after a file name change. Sometimes file managers have an explicit "refresh" in their menu, or in other cases, you just visit a different folder in the file manger and then return back to (e.g.) /system/app folder to get the refresh to occur.
Hopefully all you are doing is manipulating file names.

Titanium will not work with Note 3. It actually semi bricked my phone. I was told not to Install it. The app whose name I changed then changed back is still there the original icon is just not there. I think everything is OK but got nervous not seeing the icom

I think the icon just disappeared. I first changed the name as you suggested adding bak. The icon disappeared but it showed a blank page icon.Then I wanted to make sure I could put it back so I removed the bak. After I removed the bak then rebooted. The icon never appeared again? When I open file manager and look at it the symbol is a question mark.

I learned my lesson on my last phone. It was a S3 with an unlocked bootloader. I HAD to get the update despite the warnings not to. Within 10 minutes after that I tripped knox trying to get root and the wifi stopped working. That mistake cost me $400.00 for the phone N3 I have now. Verizon was "kind" enough to give me $300.00 off any new phone despite my mistake. No more going down that road for me. Yes, I am quite happy with this phone, even with the locked bootloader.

Trust me it works fine and won't brick your phone if you use it properly. At worst you would have to Odin back to stock if you deleted important files by mistake.

I don't think anything is wrong with the system. It is OK to have a ? mark instead of the icon right?

Not sure what could be causing this. I have not had any problems with it since install. You could try leaving all files in place and clicking on the apk. And selecting install. Also did you change permissions to RW- R- R-?

Looks like the lib files need to be set to RW-R-R as well. Maybe just update the OP and state that under the steps because it is only mentioned to set permissions on the apk files

Looks like the lib files need to be set to RW-R-R as well. Maybe just update the OP and state that under the steps because it is only mentioned to set permissions on the apk files

It is the new one, from a leak before S5 came out. VZW decided not have it on their version as VZW likes to make you have only what THEY want on your device.
The lay out is different, has the option to have a bookmark home or a physical homepage. It has a home button unlike chrome. You can download videos direct from this browser as well where on chrome alot of times it would not download files and i had to use yet another app taking up space on my phone. I believe it allows for flash as well unlike chrome.
Its all about personal preference, i like google as my homepage and not my favorites or bookmarks, i like the lay out and options, i like the home button in the browser, it is plenty fast, i like direct downloads, and i havent tried a flash page yet.. but on previous versions it worked great.
Hope this helps!

Oh yeah and the Air browse and motion controls do not work in chrome but do within this browser... need to be turned on within phone settings of course.

Can someone extract the stock theme for Axon 7?

I've got a EU/UK version (A2017G) of Axon 7 which does not come with the stock theme that US customers are getting. I was wondering if anyone could extract the theme for us to install...

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
SYSTEM BACKUP REQUIRE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
----------------------------------------------------------------------​- Move the THEME folder to system > media and change the THEME and THEMEINFO folder attibutes to 755 using your File Explorer (i 'm using Solid Explorer)
- Change the ZIP files attributes to 644 same for the rest of the files inside THEMEINFO folder
- REBOOT

Thanks once again...
I couldn't find the system folder. I guess I have to root it first.
Will try it once I root my phone.
