Hi all XDA members, today I am going to show you how to edit xml files in your framework-res.apk so you can edit auto - rotation on lockscreen or CRT - Animation. This does not apply to the Arc only, most Android phone's framework can be edited this way except maybe Samsung or HTC phones which have an extra resource file. This guide contains screenshots and is meant to be noob friendly so everything is self explanatory, you don't need a rocket scientist to explain everything.
What you need:
Framework-res.apk you want to edit
Apktool
Notepad++ is recommended for editing XMLs.
7-zip
So let's get started:
1. If you want to edit the framework file, naturally you should have extracted it from your phone. If you have not done so, the framework-res.apk can be found in system/framework/framework-res.apk(requires root access)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Place the file into apktool directory
4. Press shift and right click the directory(don't select any file, just press shift right click in the empty space of your apktool directory, you should see "Open command window here")
5. You should see a command window like this:
6. Type this command: apktool if framework-res.apk. You should get a response like this:
7. Now type this command:apktool d framework-res.apk. This will decompile your framework-res.apk so you can access the xml files.
8. Go back to your apktool file. You should see a new folder called framework-res(Yes, please take a good look. I circled it for your sake.)
9. Open the folder. go to res/values/bools.xml
10. Right click on file, select edit with Notepad++
11. Now open in Notepad++, you can edit and choose the functions you want to add just by editing the boolean with "true" or "false"
That's it, you are now ready to choose if you want auto rotation lockscreen or enable CRT animation.
Stay tuned to this thread, I will make a second thread about recompiling your framework and signing it for use on your phone.
If you have found any errors in this tutorial, please send me a PM and I shall rectify it.
At the request of some users, I have updated the thread with the compiling and signing steps as well, so please continue reading.
12. Firstly we need some files to sign the apks, so go to your original framework-res.apk, right click -> 7 zip -> Open Archive
13. Extract the folder "META-INF" and the file "AndroidManifest.xml" from the framework-res.apk
13a. Alternatively, you can find the files in <your framework-res folder> -> Original // No "<>" symbols, please see attached screenshot
14. Before we compile the framework, please rename the folder to avoid any conflicts with the existing framework-res.apk
15. Type this command: apktool b <your framework-res folder> and press Enter // No "<>" symbols, please see attached screenshot
16. You should get a response like this:
17. Go to <your framework-res folder> -> dist -> framework-res.apk // No "<>" symbols, please see attached screenshot
WARNING! DO NOT PUSH THIS FILE INTO YOUR PHONE YET. IT HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED AND WILL CAUSE A BOOTLOOP IF YOU PUSH IT TO /SYSTEM. PLEASE CHECK THAT THESE FEW STEPS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BEFORE PUSHING IT TO /SYSTEM
18. Right click the file, go to 7-zip -> Open Archive
19. Select the files you extracted or received from step 10 or 10a
20. Drag and drop into 7-zip. You will get a warning message. Press "Yes".
21. You should have both files copied into the apk. You have signed the framework-res.apk and the file is OK for use.
22. Push the framework-res.apk into /system/framework, set RW-R--R-- permissions and reboot.
That's it. Your phone should be functioning normally and the changes you did internally should take effect.
If you have found any errors in this tutorial, please send me a PM and I shall rectify it.
Also, please PM me or comment if you have questions.
If the question has been asked before, please read the previous posts if there are any.
Repeat questions will not be entertained.

2. Decompile apk (option 9)
3. add your pic to drawable-hdpi (must be a .png) and resize it as 480x800 ( if not, the picture will be stretched to fit in the resolution ) _ you can rename the file lockscreen_background.png for example
4. open the file res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml with notepad++, and find the line
Code:
<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="#70000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
change to
Code:
<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="@drawable/lockscreen_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
5. compile the apk (option 11)
(when recompile do)
5.1. Hit yes to "system app".
5.2. Hit yes to restoring the files:
6. -Open the "keep" folder and delete resources.arsc and res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
7. when it is done, rename unsignedframework-res.apk to framework-res.apk and put it back to /system/framework/ again (you can just drag it to the zip file with 7zip)
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]=============Lockscreen Note==================
Once you have my theme, no needs to follow my Tuto as i already coded the xml for the lockscreen
You only need a picture 480 x 800
Open my zip file theme with 7zip and drag the picture in :
Framework > framework-res.apk > res > drawable
Then go back and 7zip will ask you to apply the changes on the apk.
All done, enjoy it!
===========================================[/COLOR]
Enjoy it
Thank you
I was wanted to know this tip.
I'll be make my theme apply this tip.
tried to change picture on LeeDroid 3.0.2 and stuck on splash screen
This is cool, but will it have to be changed every time you change your wallpaper? And on a completely unrelated note, do you have a Lion cub as a pet? (looking at the lock screen and one of your home screens)

If you are stuck on splash screen, must be something wrong during the compilation of the apk _ did you tried to modify *.png9 files as well ?

Unfortunately, until some dev with free time wants to launch an app' for that, yes, we will need to changed the background _ only the background as the setup @drawable/whatever you named your picture.png doesnt change.

Tools needed :
My KIT for SMALI files (using options for each step )
Notepad++( Hexadecimal editor for *.xml )
This is an example of a smali file changed (in this case, Global.Actions.smali located in android.policy.jar)
_______________ Power Menu modded (smali changed) ______________

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open my zip kit ( recomended in a Theming Folder for example with apkmanager and all files you would like to mod )
What you get :
Baksmali
Baksmali ( executable Jar File )
Command.exe ( Shell file )
Notepad text with the two commands for decompile and compile already made for you ( just copy and paste into command.exe )
Smali
Smali ( executable Jar File )
1. So the only thing you need is to place your apk in the smali kit folder
2. To Decompile :
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -x yourfile -o classout
(classout folder can be renamed to whatever you want, doesnt matter until you dont forget to change the name too in the second command)
3. Make the modifications you want for smali files
4. To Compile again :
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex
5. Copy and paste the file classes.dex into your apk _ you will overwrite the old one.
Thanks to Rafalense
Enjoy it
Thanks mate, it might be useful for some trick i'm gonna test.
Hi,
thanks for the guide and the advice.
But does the apk manager the smali decompile and compile too?
Could you give some hints where you can change what in smali?

Hi guys,
I am using Apk manager 5.0 with the latest updates and apk tool 1.3.1
I want to decompile, edit and recompile my SystemUI.apk.
My Roms framework-res is set as 1.apk
Decompiling of SystemUI.apk works (no errors)
To check that compiling works, i edit nothing, just removed the "-v4" from the drawable-hpdi folder.
I assume that the must be something wrong with the resource, the framework-res.apk which i placed as 1.apk
"Resource is not public" is the error.
Does anyone no how to solve this?
The curious thing is that with the previous version of the rom it worked when i was making my theme a week ago.
Now it doesn't work any more

If you follow my Tuto, you should always use apk manager 4.9 editing framework as you want to mod xml __ even better with XP rather than any windows else.
Apk manager is not needed to decompile/recompile png's
you just forget zip and use instead 7zip which allow you to directly drag any file you want to another zip without decompiling/compiling.
Another rule is that you cant drag a xml from a zip to your hdd folder.
you must decompile the apk first. if the xml is already modded, then you can drag it everywhere and re-drag it where you want.
Never set framework-res as 1.apk
apk manager does everything for you, you just need to decompile,
set always level of compression to 0 in order to avoid issues during compilation work on the framework folder decompiled and just compile.
If you proceed step by step, you should be fine.
Note that systemUI.apk gives a lot of issues during decompilation
Smali files are included in systemUI so better use my tool for smali's files
Last one, i will prepare a tuto to take out the title in Power menu soon

Thread closed upon OP request.
There's certainly a lot of choice out there when it comes to firmware, however, I've found that a lot of custom ROMs on XDA include a lot of themes that I'm not really interested in.
Usually, when I find a modified file with the feature that I'm looking for, it also includes something else that I don't want. I've also seen a lot of posts in threads where people ask "Great! Can you make this mod for firmware version XXX?"
So I've decided to create this guide, it will show you how to look for changes to the files that developers post, so you can merge it with the file from your phone.
Prerequisites:
Latest Android-SDK downloaded and installed, with directories added to your PATH
Java runtime enviroment >= 1.6
Apktool, install instructions are on the page of this link
WinMerge installed
Your ROM is deodexed
In this example, I'm going to add Rawrat's green icons to my phone, but I don't want to add his modified transparant notification drop down. Rawrat at the time only provided files for XXKG6 but my personal ROM is based on XXKH3.
1. Create the following directory structure (this doesn't have to be named exactly as I have, it just keeps the files organised I find):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Download the developers modified files and place them in "Modded ROM files" - in my example, this is framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
3. Ensure USB debugging is enabled, connect phone via the USB cable. In windows command prompt, change directory to "Current ROM files" and pull the following files:
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
You have to pull the framework-res.apk & twframework-res.apk if you're modifying most system applications. SystemUI.apk is the file I'm editing in this example. If you're modifying different ones to me or more, then pull those as well or instead of.
4. Whilst command prompt is in the same directory (Current ROM files), you'll need to install the framework files for Apktool to use:
apktool if framework-res.apk galaxy
apktool if twframework-res.apk galaxy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. If the above worked correctly, you should have a message from apktool saying the framework was installed to 1-galaxy.apk and 2-galaxy.apk and your files should have been pulled into "Current ROM files":
6. Whilst command prompt is in the same directory (Current ROM files), we'll need to decompile the *.apks:
Code:
apktool d -t galaxy framework-res.apk framework-res
apktool d -t galaxy SystemUI.apk SystemUI
I'm not modifying twframework-res.apk, I just pulled that as it's a dependant file, so no need to decompile this unless it's one of the files the developer edited.
You shouldn't get any errors and it was successfully decompiled if it looks like so:
7. In command pompt, change to "Modded ROM Files" directory and decompile the developers files that we placed there earlier:
Code:
apktool d -t galaxy framework-res.apk framework-res
apktool d -t galaxy SystemUI.apk SystemUI
8. Now that we've decompiled both the current files on the phone and the modified ones, we're going to use WinMerge to compare the directories:
Open WinMerge and go to file -> open
For the left pane, click browse and browse to your "Current ROM files" folder, then framework-res, then click open
For the left pane, click browse and browse to your "Modded ROM files" folder, then framework-res, then click open
Check "Include subfolders" then click OK
8. Once WinMerge has compared the directories, go to view and make sure only the following is ticked in the top part of the view menu:
This basically shows all the files that are different between the two directories.
9. Now, we're going to look down the list of files that are different and copy them from right to left (Modified file to current file)
Exercise some caution here especially if you're applying the mod to a file that's from a different Samsung firmware. Usually when applying a mod to a different firmware version, you'll notice a lot of strings.xml differences listed. This is because Samsung have updated the translations for different languages. So don't copy these over.
Regarding other xml files, apktool inputs some entries into drawables.xml and public.xml so these files also show up as different. Again, don't copy these over.
Developers do make changes to xml files, either way, to ensure you're not over writing older xml documents with new ones, just right click the file and compare. As you can see, opening bools.xml, I can see there's a difference to:
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
As Rawrat changed this to false to enable CRT-Off animation, I want this animation on my KH3 ROM. So I'm going to right click bools.xml and copy right to left.
Warning! Again, when dealing with two files from two different firmware bases, NEVER EVER copy any .smali files. This is because Samsung would have made changes most likely. Instead, compare the files as above and manually change the .smal file in the left pane with the changes the developer made. You can then save the file.
10. Repeat the WinMerge steps for the other decompiled application folders, in my example, I did the same for SystemUI.apk and to ensure I was only copying the green icrons for signal, WiFi and mobile data; I right clicked the different *.png files and chose open right with registered application. This opens the .png with your default image editor.
11. Go back to command prompt and change directory to your "Current ROM files" directory. Use apktool to compile:
Code:
apktool b framework-res
You should not receive any errors, apart from warnings about there not being any translation. Those errors are normal.
Obviously, compile all the other .apks too!
12. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the "Current ROM files"/framework-res/dist folder
This is the location of your newly compiled framework-res.apk with the changes you made. Open this apk with your archive editor (WinRar, 7zip, WinZip etc). Keep this open.
13. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the "Modded ROM files" folder
Open the original framework-res.apk with your archive editor, then drag the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file from the original .apk to the other archive editor window that has your modified .apk open.
Replace the files on your phone with the new ones!
wonderful guide for newbies like me. I am already off to start my first project.
Thanks once again.
This is AMAZING!

That only serves the purpose of decompiling and building the application package in this example (obviously it can do more than just that), which replaces writing two commands per package. I wouldn't exactly call that the hard way around.
But yes, you can use APK Manager.

This will show you how to Decompile and Recompile SecPhone.apk (Deodexed) for Jellybean 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
Tools Needed:
This zip file: http://www.mediafire.com/?0b2ad2ow254ou3a
Java jdk and environment variables set correctly (if you don't know how, Google it)
Notepad++
7Zip
Decompile:
1. Download attached files and unzip folder to Desktop.
2. Place SecPhone.apk in Tools folder you just downloaded.
3. Hold Shift and right click inside of folder then click "Open command window here". Make sure no files are selected or it will not show.
5. Type apktool d SecPhone.apk and hit enter. This will create a folder called SecPhone.
6. You’re done you have decompiled the apk.
Recompile:
1. Hold Shift and right click inside of folder then click "Open command window here".
2. Type apktool b SecPhone nSecPhone.apk and hit enter. This will error and look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Now look at the code. If you look you will see there are 3 errors like this: Desktop\Tools\SecPhone\res\values-es\strings.xml:195: error: (they might look slightly different with your apk).
4. The things you need to fix this are right here (values-es) refers to a folder in the apk Desktop\Tools\SecPhone\res\ and strings.xml refers to an xml file inside that folder. Also if you read the whole line you will see it is some sort of format error. So go to Desktop\Tools\SecPhone\res\values-es\strings.xml and open it with Notepad++.
5. Now refer back to the error log and you will see values-es\strings.xml:195 the 195 refers to the line in the file that is causing the error. Scroll to that line, it says something like "%1$d% del ciclotranscurrido. So what’s the error? Let’s find out. Copy the code between the "" in this case its throttle_time_frame_subtext.
6.Now go to Desktop\Tools\SecPhone\res\values\strings.xml and open that with Notepad++ and search for code you just copied throttle_time_frame_subtext and compare the two files. You can see the difference error code has this %1$d% and the correct code has %1$d٪ so correct the code and save the file. Now do this for all 3 errors.
7. Now with all errors fixed we can Recompile so type apktool b SecPhone nSecPhone.apk and press Enter. This time it will complete without errors.
8. Open original SecPhone.apk with 7zip and open new nSecPhone.apk with 7zip and copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from originalapk to new apk. Rename new apk to SecPhone.apk and its ready to be flashed. Don't forget to Zipalign. DONE!

Are you trying to decompile a system app from a ROM? If yes then do this:
You need the following:
1. framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the ROM which you took the apk from
2. Probably administrator privilege
You need to do the following:
1. Navigate to Desktop and look for user name folder.
Example: Desktop/Carl/
2. Navigate to user name folder and look for "framework" folder inside "apktool" folder
Example: Desktop/Carl/apktool/framework/
3. Open apktool folder and inside you will see a bunch of frameworks in .apk folder
4. Leave that folder open and take the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the ROM which you took the apk you're trying to decompile/compile
5. Rename framework-res.apk to: 1.apk and twframework-res.apk to: 2.apk
6. Copy 1.apk and 2.apk to Desktop/<username>/apktool/framework/
Example: Copy 1.apk and 2.apk to Desktop/Carl/apktool/framework/
Once you're done, close and apk tool that you're using and try decompiling/compiling again. If still the problem exist, restart your computer.
Hope this helps.
PS. Sorry for late reply, kinda busy at work.
