.MD5 file help

hello ,
Am using galaxy ace and i want to change the default app icons [like My files gallery...etc].I downloaded a copy of my firmware and i was able to extract system.rfs from the md5 file which contained the apk for the music player...etc using 7z,i changed the icons to my custom icons...now I am not able to move the system.rfs to the MD5 file using 7z...does any one know anyway of doing this
P.S Does editing the files do harm when flashing...will this be succesfull?

If you edit rfs files on pc then its corrupted
So make changes in the apk and paste it in /system/app
You can make a new rfs fine too but that needs root and and the need to know which partition is mapped to /system

so can i just place the apk directly on phone through root explorer...but i tried that with an system app [you tube] i dont use ,i changed the icon and placed the apk using root explorer...after that it vanished..i tried rebooting and installing the apk....but it wont install...

Deodex your rom
Copy SystemUI.apk to your pc
Rename to SystemUI.zip
extract contents to a folder
goto res/drawable-ldpi
Replace any image except images ending In .9
Make sure file names remain the same
rezip all the files
change name of zip to SystemUI.apk (note you will have to enable file extensions in folder options in control panel to change zip to apk)
put in a flashable zip and flash with system mounted
note this method is only for changing png images
to edit any other files like xml you must decompile with apktool

Okay....can u tell me how to deodex our rom...
sorry to give u trouble... but m a noob here...

There is a guide in the general section about deodexing stock roms.Just use the search button.

Use kitchen
flash fresh stock rom and root
install terminal
use terminal to pull all system files into a tar file
load tar file into a working folder in kitchen
use kitchen to deodex - change api to level 10 first
build the rom and flash it
There are other methods but that one is simple

Just for changing stat icons.... NO NEED TO DEODEX ...Even you can make it with just your cell phone,without the help of a COMPUTER...
Click bellow to see-
First you need "Zarchiver" and "Root Explorer" and rooted sgy duos ...
Then copy your Systemui.apk to your sd card and extract just the "drawable-ldpi" from there with Root explorer,then go to the extracted folder and change the stat icons which you want....But remember don't change the name of the icons which you have changed,rename your custom icons as stock sys ui icon names...when everything done,then open "Zarchiver" and go to sdcard's sysui.apk,just click to it and view,don't extract.After this from there delete the drawable-ldpi folder and push your customised "drawable-ldpi" folder in the place of deleted "drawable-ldpi" folder,But dont replace the folders,first delete one then add other one...
All done now just open root explorer and move the customised syssui to system/app folder and replace with original...and change the permission to rw--r--r..REBOOT now..

how can i install . help me my brothers

my rom is stock odex i used universal deodexer and deodexed my.system/app and system/framework folders . now my question.
how can i install that app and framework folders to my phone ??(i tried replace with root explorer but it does not .(
how can i make thats to a flashable zip?

but
my problem is not that . i can make a flashable zip . its working fine but after i flashed old .odex files doesnt delete. how can i add it to meta inf for when flashing delete app and replace new app and same for framework

No need to create any kind of meta inf you just need to find any flashable zip may be of some kind of theme or update package of your rom if available and just edid it using zarchiver(android) or winrar(windows) simply delete eveything inside the system folder inside the zip except the app folder then delete everything inside app folder then put the apk you want to replace in the app folder. And you are done. Its recommended to sign the zip using apktool(windows) or zipsigner(android) but you can skip this step. Thats about making a flashable zip.
But as far as i know you need to have deodnexed rom to make any changes to system.
Anyways this thread should have been posted in q&a section.

You just need to put in a simple delete line into the update script
for example
Code:
delete("/system/app/Vending.apk");
will delete the Vending.apk from the folder system/app
remember if you are manually pushing files with a root browser you need root permissions and you need to set the correct file permissions - for most apps in the app folder it will be rw-r-r

thnx
thanx i learned if i want to delete folde i will use delete_recursive

help

most likely if the status bar just doesn't show but does not display a force closed message its because the SystemUI.apk is not correctly signed
as long as the file name is correct and it is correctly compiled with no errors the only thing left is the signing
You can sign an apk easily with zipsigner (playstore)
just copy the apk to any folder on your sd card
start zip signer
select your apk as the input
select the name you want to call it for the output (make it different from the input - you can change the name later)
select platform key as the key you wish to sign (this is for system apps for user apps use a test key)
sign the apk
once done the apk will be outputted as a zip file
change the name of this zip to the name of your apk and don't forget to change the .zip extension back to .apk
put in a flashable and flash in cwm with system mounted
you can check any errors with the SystemUI.apk by doing a logcat via adb as the phone is starting up
By searching the logcat for SystemUI you will be able to see any errors in it and why its not starting - eg Signature mismatch skipping loading
