Changing framework-res.apk

[Guest Tebo2K]

Hi folks,

I applied a theme to my desire (running leedroid 2.3d at the moment, but had same issue in MCr R10) which changed the smileys in my text messages. Now I know the images for the smileys are stored in framework-res.apk so I tried to change the smileys as follows:

extracted fraemwork-res.apk from the ROM and saved it on my desktop as framework-old.apk, using adb, I pulled the current framework-res.apk from my phone and saved it on my desktop. I then opened both apks in winrar and copied the smileys from the old apk into the new one (over-writing the existing smileys). Closed winrar and tried to push the modified framework back onto my device in recovery.

This gave me FCs in Sense which kept looping. I rebooted back into recovery and flashed the theme again, still thesame problem so I had to recover from a nandroid backup..

Any idea why this isn't working for me? Searching on google seems to suggest that this should work.....

Cheers

Iain

Revert back to old framework until you figure it out but obviously somethings is wrong otherwise you wouldn't get the error
