nexus one system png files

---

hi, i just tried to open a nexus one image to extract all the png files, but failed. does anyone know how or where to get all these files, like banners, battery meters etc.?

thanks in advance!

They are in /system/framework/framework-res.apk. If you adb pull that file onto your PC you should be able to unzip it to get the pngs.

alright, thanks. i'll try this at home - i just dl adb but dont know how to use it. when i doubleclick adb.exe the windows opens and shuts very quickly, probably because i dont have admin rights here.

Alternatively, you could install a file manager like Astro that lets you browse the system folders and just email it to yourself from there. I've done that with a few of the files just because it's convenient and I don't have to dig out the USB cable.

adb is a command line app. Anyway Mike's suggestion of using Astro is an easier way.

my problem is the adb window wont stay open, so i have no chance to write a command line. i need all the files for themeing, so Astro seems inappropriate to me.

The Astro method should work. If you browse to /system/framework with it you should see the framework-res.apk. Long press on it and tap send. It should attach it to a new email which you can send to yourself. You can then unzip it with a program like 7-zip.

This will be easier than using adb as you will need to install the adb usb drivers, connect the phone to your PC and use a DOS prompt.

go start menu for xp and click run and type CMD and you'll get your command line. vista or 7 go to start and right above it type CMD. theres a little more to but that will get you your command line

So run it like every other command line app. From the command line. (terminal, console, cmd, etc...)

So I am pretty sure if the OP hasn't figured this out over six months later, they have either given up, or figured it out.

Good job bringing things back from the dead.
