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??
Update:
If i wanna edit musicplayer.apk what to do with its ODEX file ?!!

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

messed up my music player cant able to install stock back too !! please help me !!
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!!

Don't bring up old threads. And you created an account just to ask about a f*cking game!?

Search some other apk's of assassins creed i tried it, i reach the level 2-3 without having problems, just some laggy thing but it's worth it.

Hi,
I installed the Chainfire 3D drivers and now my phone is not booting up. I need help please

Hey I have not edited the mms.apk which u have told.But you just asked for theming so i can help the simple theming guide
Use apktool to decompile these apk files after which you get the folder which contains res,smali etc files
As you are not modding just want to change the theme go to the res folder and open the drawable-hdpi,drawable-ldpi.
Replace the images you want to change with that from s3 and build it ....
Voila you got a themed app ...
Incase you want to edit the UI also like by adding more buttons kind of thing then you might consider doing some stuff around with the layouts and smali code..
In case of smali, learn from this site ..
http://androidcracking.blogspot.in/search/label/smali
Gud Luck.
Thanks i think this might help you,
optimus
PS:I think most of the res required for system files are present in framework.

Use the search button...
There are a lot of tuts forit...
But You can Also use APK Manager, its easy but not very good as apjtool...

You will have to decompile the MMS.apk and check for the responsible .PNG file.
You will have to try it and maybe u can find it easily.
Press thanks if I helped you anyhow.
