You're doing it w/ a raw compiled apk correct?

ITS Correct only i am getting this error not the above one

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)

Exception in thread "main"

I'm sorry i'm not much help. I just have a bad habit of doing a google search and posting a link to the best result i can find for someone's question. Hope you can figure it out. I'll probably try this soon w/ one of my .dex's. I'll post if it worked for me and what i did.

Gentlemen,

Big time NOOB here, almost a dirty word, I'm sure..LOL. I followed the above instructions and have even begun my own theming project. With his permission I am using B-boys Murder theme and modifying it to meet my needs for a police theme. I have been "somewhat" successful so far.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/chevyno1/139302-new-police-theme-new-themer.html

I have gotten to the point where I want to do some .xml edits and when I get to the step of decompiling the framework-res.apk, I am able to decompile. However, when I recompile/ build the apk to check it before edits I get an error. A check of the Log says something about the manifest.xml.

Any suggestions? If ANYBODY is willing to help me out please please please PM me and I"ll copy and paste the LOG back to you to help diagnose. I am soo close to actually completing a theme I don't want to stop now.

If it is simple to fix, you can post here as I will be checking back often. Which ever, is most convenient.

Imagine a police officer on his knees begging you for help.. chuckle and enjoy it, then help me out... please?

I don't know a lot about the manifest xml, but have you checked to make sure you don't have any bad .9.pngs? This will cause major issues when trying to compile. PM me your log if that isn't the problem.

Well, this group is AWESOME!!! B-Boy walked me through it. It was actually bad. 9.PNG images due to the custom rom having them. When I tried to recompile the XML edit Tue bad. 9pngs threw the error.

I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate how helpful you are. Everybody has always been more than willing to show me my errors and the correct method to help me along.

Thanks guys.

errors

Yes that will cause errors. Either have to correct the guides yourself or replace them with stock images.

Something to do in the future to make sure your .9s are good, run them throu xeudoxus' 9png compiler (its in his xultimate thread). If any of them are wonky, it will tell you exactly which ones they are, and where on the image the error is. Then just run them through draw9patch to fix them.
