Theme Creation Help! =///

rydah805 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-17-2010, 12:59 PM

I Downloaded A Theme From The Forum (EnamoRED) But Didn't Like Certain Parts Of It. I Am On A Mac. On My Evo Im Running The Latest Stock Rom W/ Full Root.

I Extracted The Signed Zip File Which Then Revealed Two Folders, "META-INF" & "system".

I The Navigated To "system" and that revealed two files also, "app" & "framework".

I Then Went Into "framework" which revealed two files "com.htc.resources.APK" & "framework-res.APK".

I Extracted Them And Within Those Two Folders Were Plenty In Each Of Them. I Went To "Res" In Each Of The Two Folders (com.htc.resources & framework-res) And Changed A Couple Of PNG's.

Now I Want To "Archive" The Two Folders In "System/Framework" Back To ".APK". Also I Don't Know If I Would Need To Resign Them.

After I Have Everything Ready I Can Zip It Up, But Im Not Sure If Ill Have To Resign The ".Zip"?

Thanks Guys.

WILL DONATE TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN REALLY HELP!!!!!

You can just put them back in the original enamo zip and then you sign the enamo zip.

You don't have to resign each .apk within the original zip.

You don't zip a filder into an apk...

you can take an apk and change the extension from .apk to .zip to edit the files. Then after editing you can just change it back from .zip tp .apk then drop the apk back in the original enamo .zip and then sign the edited enamo .zip and then flash.

I hope it works for you.

No need to donate, but I do appreciate the offer. I'm here for fun.
