How to modify framework?

[frskies]

I would like to replace some of the .png`s inside framework-res.apk. Can i open it in winrar and just drag the modified files over? Can`t seem to find a decent answer

No.
using win rar or win zip would be very risky...
u have to use android sdk for dis....
and if u r changing .png files from the root system u have to make .apk file and then install it which will install ur new modifications....
but dis methord is also creepy.....

Do u want to make a theme or just want to make some modifications.??????

Hit the thanx button if dis helps u...

I want to modify a flashable theme for a modded ROM.

Just drag and drop the modified files. Don't forget to re-sign the apk and the zip.

yeah he's right...
u would need apk manager for dis....
just change the old files with ur modified one and ur good to go....
but i should warn u to make a nand before u do anything bcoz if somthing goes wrong u'll get a boot loop...
and at that time nand will me ur biggest resue......
hope is helps ya...
