[ASK] How to make icon pack to .apk

Hello guy.. This is my 1st thread in this section..
I'm a noob here.. I need some guide to make an .apk type of file so i can make my own .apk...
I want to learn this because i want to apply this icon pack without flashing them into system..
also.. i i can make it be install like normal apk.. i think i can use the icon pack with another launcher like xperia launcher, holo launcher or similar..
somebody can help me make a normal .apk??
help me please..

it's possible, but it's the same as building a basic app,
you need to mirror some codes to work for a specific launcher or theme engine,
but if you are asking for the system icons,
then you are out of luck (except CM)

remove it from the manifest xml and also remove any strings in strings xml then resign it

Open settings.xml under res/xml/here
Then find the preferencescreens and delete them.
And your problem will be solved.

It is in /res/xml/settings.xml

You need to install framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk before decompiling and before recompiling.

I think you want to remove them from xduos v3 rom(as per screenshoots)....So decompile Settings.apk and go to res/xml,and find "kenj1.xml" from there, edit them and delete preferences from there...and recompile,sign and push apk to system....enjoy for personal use only...:thumbup::thumbup:

[Q] Need help with apktool mobile

Hello I want to ask when I tried to decompile via apktool in SGY it shows error . How to fix it? And I tried to import as framework the framework-res.apk, it shows the same error Hellp

since I dont know what the error it is could be 1 of 2 things
1 - apktool is not installed correctly
2 - you are using the wrong framework-res.apk - dont forget most 3rd party apps and some roms system apps are built using jellybean framework
if you get a resources error you are using the wrong framework

If ur trying to modify system apk, then import the second framework(i.e. twframework-res.apk) too! You should use ics/JB framework as mentioned above to mod 3rd party apps! And, which app are you trying to modify?

Chances are that you havent loaded the correct framework
If it is a touchwiz rom (based on stock rom) you also need to load tw-framework using the if command
Also some roms are compiled with framework of a higher version than the rom eg compiled with jellybean framework so load that framework-res instead eg from cm10
But the chances are its because you didnt also load the tw framework from the rom
Also please note that questions should be posted in the question and answe section

Learn how to decompile apks yourself
It's easier doing it on a pc but can also be done on a phone if you don't have a pc
My pc guide can be found in the link in my signature
For phone guide Google search apktool mobile (you need armv6 version)

No - much better to learn how to do it yourself else how are you going to mod it & recompile it or do anything else in the future
If you can't decompile it you are most likely using the wrong framework-res.apk - use framework-res.apk from cm10
Without screenshot of your cmd window I can't see how you are trying to do it
Full guide in my signature - Just use correct framework-res.apk - note just because it's a Gingerbread rom doesn't mean it was built with Gingerbread framework - so if it doesn't decompile use cm10 framework
