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:

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

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.

As i said already in SGS3 forum your question go to the S4 dump thread download the dump and extract even look in themes and apps section read/ ask in the S4 dump thread .
But camera will not work on SGS3 if that's what you are hoping S4 is not S3 .

[JB] Deodexed Apps and Framework files, downloadable one by one.

Hello everyone!
I have deodexed and uploaded every single .apk and/or .jar file to a Google Drive folder for everyone that wants to use a file without downloading a whole firmware. I hope that this is gonna help users and future themers and modders.
The files are all taken from the Jelly Bean Stock Official XXAME1 firmware, deodexed, and then directly uploaded to my Google Drive folder.
Take a look at the folder and let me know your opinion about this.

Also, if you have any other ideas on how to improve the folder just let me know. :good:
Oh, just one more thing! I'm new to the Galaxy SIII Mini community, some of you may know me. I have created a couple of themes and mods for the Galaxy S Advance. Check them out! You may want some of these available to the SIII Mini! :good:

thanks for doing that
a few members have made a couple of posts asking for stock apk's
so i am sure this will be appreciated by all

That is what I was looking for too when I decided to make this. I needed the framework for a new mod for the SIII Mini but I couldn't find just the framework-res.apk file. There should be a folder like this for every device. :good:
Thank you!

Ubuntu touch lockscreen & VIPER4ANROID on ROOTBOX v4.2

I retouch this thread to add solution i found in @zhuhang VIPER4android thread because now VIPER effects are ok with my rootbox 4.2
Ubuntu Lockscreen :
I found file UbuntuLockscreen.apk on dev-host, source here,
but real source here, thanks to @Rotary_Heart
i install as normal apk in my \data\app\ , file finaly named :
com.rotaryheart.ubuntu.lockscreen-1.apk
VIPER :
To have VIPER effects functional, you have to apply tweak ★ NEW FX Compatible Mode (Only in 4.x) ★ from @zhuhang 1rst post
sound in video is very very bad, i do it quickly to post solution but you can ear viper effects applied .
Forgive me if the two subjects in title have nothing in common.
Thanks

[Q] [ANDROID 4.4][ROM][I9505] Echoe Kit Kat v.1 Slim

Since i don't have the rights to post in the development forum yet i'll post my question here...
Last week i installed the Echoe Kit Kat v.1 Slim version.
Great ROM and everything works great, no reboots at all. Only thing i couldn't manage to work is the synchronizing of my Google calendar.
Found this in the thread :

its one of the .apk's in the priv-app folder that i deleted..
my friend i need some time to gather all the deleted files and upload them...
the easiest way for you maybe would be to d/l the full version and extract the files...

Cant find witch files i need to put back to get this working.
