THEMING ON CUSTOM ROM

I will discuss very short on Theming,rest search on Google. 

[START]
SETTING UP APKTOOL:-
->>If you have installed apktool and java then you can start.
->>Now go to the extracted apktool folder and hold "SHIFT" keyboard button and then right click mouse.
->>Here select-Open command window Here" option.
->>For Theming you need to decompile the apk which you want to theme,so grab those apks first and put into apktool folder.
-->>Also take framework-res.apk and medaitek-res.apk and put these also in apktool folder.
->>For decompiling system folder apk,you need to install framework-res.apk and medaitek-res.apk first.So in command window input-

Code:

apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if mediatek-res.apk

->>hit enter one after one.So you will get message that apk installed to....for both apks.
->>Always write words carefully in command terminal,write same words as apks in apktool folder.

NOW YOU CAN DECOMPILE SYSTEM APKS OF THE ROM WHOSE FRAMEWORK YOU HAVE INSTALLED.IF YOU DONE WITH THAT ROM AND WANT TO MODIFY NEXT ROM APKS THEN
GO TO C:\users\yourusername\apktool and delete all present apks.

Lets start Decompiling:-
->>Open command terminal under apktool,if you already opened then good.
Lets assume that you are decompiling launcher.apk then,
->>Type this below command to decompile apk.You need to replace only apk name....

Code:

apktool d launcher.apk

->>and hit enter.It will decompile in same apktool folder.
->>Now open it and modify it as you wish.
->>For editing its images and theme and look,go to drawable-hdpi folder replace pngs with same resolution pics or edit with photoshop or gimp etc.
->>You can do major modification in thems with systemUI.apk
->>And for rest take help from google.I will update this and add more stuffs when i get time.
->>Now after all modifications done,now lets compile apk.Use command below and replace apk name....

Code:

apktool b launcher.apk

->>Hit enter.Now you have to drag and drop meta-inf and AndroidManifest.xml of launcher.apk which was placed under apktool directory for decompiling(use 7 zip to open apk and drag files from it) to apktool directory/launcher/build/apk/ and replace when prompt.
->>Now again repeat this command in command bar-

Code:

apktool b launcher.apk

->>hit enter,Now this time you can collect you compiled apk from- apktool directory/launcher/dist/"launcher.apk"
->>I know you may get confused by all these steps so watch an awesome video by nero young to clear your confusions-VIDEO
