If u r going to change only the icons then winrar or 7zip is enough for u. And if u want to edit xmls then u need apktool or apkmulti tool etc.

Thnx for ur reply but I want to change the animation animation for example "loading"and installing animation etc etc

:good::good:

Well I only want to change the color of "circled" loading bar and" installing" bar
I mean the color of spinner I want to change it to blue.....
You are greattttttt.....

I've been trying to use 7-zip and Winrar for replacing png's but still no luck and at the end I get bootloop when i goin to press power button, why does this happened?

To stay away from Bootlops U must decompile and recompile the framework even if u r goin to chnge only Some PNGs...Use Advanced Apk tool By @BDFreak ..This Tool Doesnot gives any error while recompiling franework ...
And For Editing Installing Bar You Should Edit Some Xmls Also Along With Png files ...
Google -Ics Sliders or Ics Progress Bar...Both are same guides...Follow any1 which u like

I'm guessing you're trying to decompile evo systemui.apk
you need to use ics framework-res.apk

You probably need to also load tw-framework-res.apk into Apktool using the if command
Make sure you're also deodex

He said it's also when no changes are made at all which leads me to think either the wrong framework-res.apk was used to decompile or tw-framework-res.apk also needs to be loaded into Apktool for successful Decompile & Recompile

Yeah, you're right. Both proper framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk should be loaded for successful Decompile & Recompile.

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.

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:

I think you want to change the text that's shown in CWMR while flashing. For that you should edit the updater script present in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script.

the updater-script in the meta-inf folder is plain text in a flashable zip and you can just open it
if you are trying to open up anything else for example an xml file in an apk you must decompile the apk first

status 6 means incorrect update script - you have made an error and there is incorrect syntax
I suggest you look at other icon packs and compare updater scripts so you get an understanding on what it should look like
for example here is an icon pack thread
