Then that is your problem. You need to decompile first in order to edit any file other then images.
Yup that was it! Thanks ATTACK and Tecknofreak for help!

use apktool or apk multi tool to decompile apk, make changes and recompile it. you just need to know what you need to edit and how.
yeah i know that
is there any other way
but anyway thanks for the reply...

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

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

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

Hi Guys,
I have been looking into porting of Galaxy S5 toolbox for Note 3.
I have decompiled all the S5 files (SecSettings, Framework-res, SystemUI) and found that it is possible to port it to Note 3 (I might be wrong);
But I don't have fluent knowledge of .smali files, Somehow I manage to understand something by converting .smali files into .java..
So can some dev help me, so that we can work together for porting toolbox to Stock firmware of Note 3.
Thanks.

Hi,
No need to make changes in SecSettings and SystemUI..?
For S5, I found that most piece of code is present in SecSettings.
Thanks.

Thank you.

I found all the files except ViewRootImp.smali in framework2.jar.
Are you sure that file is present?
And I found a whole folder named TwToolBox with all smali files in framework2.jar.

Hi. Thanks for your help.
I got all the files you mentioned.
What should I do now?
I have to copy those changes to my Note 3 jar files? And recompile it?
That's it?
Or any other things I have to take care of?
