[THEME][DEV][HELP] "Archos_JellyBeaned" custom framework

GoL LuM · Oct 6, 2012

Hi all,

I have a project : make a custom framework for Archos gen8 with a Android Jelly_Bean style.
I've found a framework-res.apk from a Galaxy S2 JB ROM. I've began to "mix" the content of drawable-hdpi folders.
But when I try to remake the .apk (zipped with WinRar and renamed .zip by .apk), replace it in my /system/framework with 644 permissions, my a43 boot loop. Why ?
(I've bricked five times yesterday...).

Thanks for your help

and sorry for my bad english.

GoL LuM

Ps: i'm under UrukDroid 1.6.4

Apk is not the same as zip AFAIK
I would personnaly have baskmali the apk (=uncompile) to mod the files - then recompile it (smali)
Search on Google how to theme a framework

And I think you should have posted it on the theme and apps part on the forum

Hello minidou-77,

Thank you for your reply. I've searched on Google the necessary tools for theming Android. But nothing work. Maybe am i crazy ??
I will try to install the RoTtEnApPlEiCe custom framework just to see if the problem isn't UrukDroid. Maybe...
If someone wanna help me to decompile/compile that f****** framework, PM me and i'll send by mail the .zip folder with content inside.

PS: i've not posted it in "theme&apps" section because it's always in developement

Development is much more considerate as software dev without just modifying pngs but don't worry this forum is not that much active

Take a look at apk multi tools my friend

I'm not only modifying png's ^^ i will edit some .xml's for a more "realist" JB theme.

I've installed APK Manager. I find it more easy for noobies like me

Are you french, minidou ?

Yes ^^
Like 99% of Archos customers ^^

GoL LuM · Oct 8, 2012

Ok, i've modified 60% ~ of png's, but i want recompile it with ApkManager, it says there is an error occured...
I don't know why :what:
I've also tested the "RoTTeNaPPlEIce", it works perfectly ... on a screen resolution of 160dpi (a43 has a 240dpi resolution ^^ )

Pour le moment, je vais dodo XD

Hi,

You can see more details of my "recompiling" error with apktool.

The problem seems to be the /values/public.xml but i don't know what exactly is it.
Now, i will begin the drawable-mdpi folder modifications for all a70/a101 owners. But i can't test it for the moment...

Should i sign framework-res.apk ?

minidou-77 · Oct 9, 2012

No no need to sign a system apk that you will push manually
Actually I'm sorry but I don't know well what happens here...
Did any apk have been created ?

GoL LuM · Oct 9, 2012

No apk's have been created. After some searches on Gugole, the problem is the Apktools version. I'm using v1.5.0.
If someone want compile it for me, let me a PM

make it work, please. It will be a demn good thing.

GoL LuM · Oct 10, 2012

Hi all,

About my problem, Apktool doesn't support png changes.
I was trying a simple xml editing in an .apk and it works. But when i begin to modify .png's, all goes off.

Friends are compiling it for me... ^^ thanks you bros

Can we expect it for UrukDroid? Or it will be a CM7 theme?

GoL LuM · Oct 10, 2012

It's a custom framework-res.apk for stock ROM and UrukDroid. Maybe a CM7 theme after ^^

For just replacing image files, the easiest you can do is just opening .apk file with WinRAR and manually replacing files within WinRAR.

P.S. I don't know for sure what you exactly did with mixing apk files, but your 43IT probably boot loops because of the missing META-INF folder from the 43it apk.

GoL LuM · Oct 10, 2012

What is the META-INF folder utility exactly ? (I don't touch this folder. Only "drawable-hdpi" and "drawable-mdpi" folders).

When i've tried to ''mix'' png's with winRar, my a43 bootloop.

No I would suggest you not to touch the apk with a archive explorer

I don't really know try to look inside it or ask Google

GoL LuM · Oct 10, 2012

Thanks to ranomez for the compiling ^^ i'll be more vigilant next time

I'm testing the all first version of framework. Screens on next post

(Teasing powaaa)
