Replacing Icon In Framework-res.apk

[Guest ZTE_Blade]

Hello all!

My mum's phone didn't have a puking icon so I downloaded one, changed it to the right size, saved it as .png

Then I copied the framework-res.apk to the SD card, opened it up with WinRAR (eventually) found the emoticons for messaging, then REPLACED one she didn't want. I believe that I don't need to re-sign it as I only edited with WinRAR and only changed one file. After all that was done I got into the file manager app I downloaded, found the changed .apk file and opened it. It gave me an app warning about it being a system app and how all the users settings would be backed up then I clicked continue. It gave me one of them warnings about what it could access but the I remembered you could also do it by going into the phone's diagnostic menu and doing the commands:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock4 /system

dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk[/codebox]

Would that be right? If no how would I do it. The file is located as (SD CARD):/system/framework-res.apk

Can anyone give me the right commands. Thanks

Well you are doing it right. What is the issue that you are facing ? Also can you do this and post the output ?

adb shell

su

cat proc/mtd

You can not install it through a file manager. You have to push it to /system/framework through adb. For me it is like this:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
