Modifying musicplayer.apk & other doubts regarding unpacking & packing apk!!

I like the option to change music from anywhere via notification but i hate the cheap default album art in it!! So I like to extract the apk remove those pictures!! Does removing those pictures alone will cause any problems?? If the answer is yes I ll replace those images with my own images!!
So now regarding extracting :
Does extracting by zip & repacking again with zip & changing name as .apk is enough or do I want to extract using apk extractor/manager found in this forum (forgot its name) & repack & sign it with the same??
Regarding .odex file :
I have a rough idea about odex & deodexed files!! Stock application is usually odexed!!
Now my doubt is what I have to do with the .Odex file near the music??
Help me out soon
Sorry for my bad English & unframed question!! Cz am posting via mobile!!

Don't ever remove stuff, depending on how they are loaded / how well coded the app is, it will most likely cause null pointers and so force close.
If you mod an apk, replace stuff but don't remove or rename.
P.S. you could deodex the app, to make your life simpler, but deodexing is no simple task for system apps if you are not familiar with the process.
Maybe the solution, if you want to mod, is to get a deodexed rom and mod away.

Am new to Android just a week old, but am not a total noob i had molded roms in Symbian!!
So please send me links or tutorials about
How to deodex & other important things about droid!!
Also am not gonna remove anything am just gonna replace default images for music player for album art with custom pics!! I already replaced camera. Apk for battery mod found in the forum!! I can request any1 to mod for me but I really like modding it on my own, i like droid more than Symbian now!! & even am not using iPad properly after buying s2!!
Coming to point, is musicplayer.apk is system app like touchwiz. Apk & framework-research. Apk??

Frameworks are not applications. But yeah, Musicplayer.apk is an application apk.
As for the Odex file... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Odex+file

i need to replace default album art with this png's !! for 400x400 i need that thumb_00.png !! please help me !!
also please teach me how to modify/edit/customise/repack/sign apk's !!!

1) Reflash your current rom (look for stock roms topic in Original Android Development forum)
2) ALWAYS do a backup of your files before messing with them, especially when you don't know how to recover them -.-'
3) Asked like this, nobody will do that for you. Moreover, that's iTunes, and we, as loyal Android users, won't take any of these into our droids.
4) To modify/edit/repack/sign APK, there's Google for that. It has tons of resources if you only take a second to type in your search, and one other to look at the links.

Jeeeeeeeeeezzzz....
If you don't know what a .sh is, then you shouldn't be doing what you're trying to do.
P.S. you could deodex the app, to make your life simpler, but deodexing is no simple task for system apps if you are not familiar with the process.

As said in the first reply.
And yes, framework-res and twframeword-res.apk should be enough.

Sorry .Sh means shell used on linux!! I hv no basic of computer programming am an civil engineering student .!!
BTW i deodexed files my doubt is musicplayer.apk is system app right I repacked it & replaced it in folder but it's not appearing in menu!! :-(
Do I wanna push it like update.Zip?? Creating update.Zip is just like creating folder system/app, putting musicplayer.apk in it & zipping it right!!

[A]Greek in stockwells ideos x5 MIUI ROM

My greek friend i have a twick for you to have greek in your rom the idea came when i was rerading the full post of stockwell and understood the first line of his post "Based on the Desire-Z MIUI.us release available.So i understood that desire z miui rom are compatible with ours. i went to MIUI's official forum and downloaded the greek pack for desire z. I copied all files except build.prop to the same folders .and after i edited my old build.prop in line that says"ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US" into ro.product.locale.language=el
ro.product.locale.region=GR" after that i reboot into recovery and flashed my dalvick-cash and everythink was done greek exsept miui search bar
i hope i was understood and someone make this into upgradable zip
ps.1compass and fm radio apk's doesnt work so you dont have to copie them but you can give them a try if you are developers.
ps2 thank you finn for your great work in transelation!!!!!!
ps3 i cannot post the the links sorry but it is easy google search

ok downloaded miuiGR_desirez_1.10.28
extracted app and framework to system.. changed the devices build.prop to el and GR ...
wiped dalvick cache..
and nothing it does not seems to work for me :/
maybe you forgot to mention a step for us ?

does it have greek on setting/system/language?if not try to install morelocales2 from market but that was not needed to me
ps i copied with android commander on the fly not from recovery
ps2 i also wiped cache not factory but i thought it was erelevant

yes there is greek in language settings...and is checked but no greek language in any menus.. also i get weird Force close after these copies.. i dont know maybe someting was not copied correctly
i did the copy with Root explorer.. will try the app you suggested and report back
thanks for the info

I would suggest copying the apps/framework from the Greek release into the original u8800 miui.us update.zip instead of trying to copy it on the fly as it causes issues (normally you'll lose your accounts and contacts).
You'll need to modify framework-res.apk for wifi and usb tethering to work though.

thank you stockwell for your precious information and your rom i will try your suggest on next rom update and if i manage it i will upload a greek rom if you dont have a problem ofcourse.

you do exactly the same steps i folowed for greek but in build.prop you change US to IT and en to it
all the steps made on the fly(this as stockwell metioned will erace your contacts,but i asume you you have them gmailed back up)
for the update language pack you have to follow stockwells way and change the same things in his rom. but i cannot give you now more info because it is my first device and i didnt give it a try yet after the new release maybe i try it.

but isn't possible to flash directly the language pack (the desire z one) and then change the language by menu?

[HELP]to find untranslated part of DianXin ROM

some of you know DianXin ROM , of course , it's not my work , but somehow , i am moderator in DianXin forum , so i posted it in Development section.
and as these kind tester said , it is nice ROM , but it's still not good enough , like there is still some untranslated chinese part.
so i am here to ask all of you kind people to help me find out where/which/what part is untranslated.
click me to DianXin ROM thread
i don't wanna bother you or occupy your time , but it seems can't be done just myself
thanks to all of you support and feedback !
please upload screenshot and indicate what app or where

Basically you want to decompile whatever apps you think have the untranslated parts (framework-res.apk is more than likely one). After you decompile navigate to /res/values/strings.xml and read through it. If you see any Chinese in the strings, copy the Chinese text and translate it (I use Google translate). Replace Chinese text with English (or whatever language your translating) then recompile

[Q] help in making APPS Flashable for SGT7

Hi..
I got this idea just dont know how to do it..
can someone help me in building a flashable zip file just like GAPPS but the apps will not be treated as system file once installed(hope its possible),
In my case i comfile all the APK of all the apps that im using and install it one by one in between build if its possible to make the flashable zip file, reinstalling of all my APPS will be one installation all process.
this will help us alot in between updates of new build ROM.
i hope i explain it clearly.
thanks
