Then don't bother decompiling. Just unpack and repack without decode or reencode. You can just use Winrar for that. If you change a .9.png, not just .png, you'll need to decomp/recomp and delete resources.arsc in between.
[Gen8 General] Rockstar52:
So using a file explorer for root, I would change the framework-res.apk to framework-res.zip on my Archos then copy the file to my computer unzip, change the .png rezip then replace the modified .apk with the old one. Is the correct?

EDIT:

I did the steps above, and now it cleared the bootloop problem, but the funny thing is the .png files I modified are not being used, it still uses the stock images, where else could these images be?

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
I have a few questions about Archos' devices, in particular those belonging to the Generation 8 family. Here they are:

How is the partition table setup on the device and is the partition table signature checked? How are the partitions logically laid out?

When the SDE is installed and run, boot1 locks up boot0, itself and the recovery partition to prevent them from being modified. I would imagine that this type of setup would require keeping the partition table from being modified, thereby preventing dual boot. Can dual boot be achieved using the SDE without any extra modifications?

Are some of the partitions on Archos devices contained in compressed images and then loaded into the RAM in a manner similar to the way Damn Small Linux boots?

Is the recovery partition a minimal OS setup that exists to perform recovery operations or is it in fact copied in it entirety to the primary partition when recovery mode is entered?

I have realized/learned some things Linux that I hadn't noticed before such as the fact that folders like /home and /boot have their own partitions and that /boot may contain more than one kernel and that bootloaders like GRUB are actually represented in the filesystem. I don't if these are real partitions or logical partitions so I might have to do some relearning.

I'm bumping this thread.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
Partition tables are not locked. Devices are populated as normal in kernel. Partitions can be edited and the device repopulated with partprobe as normal.

The bootloader/recovery is held on a partition on mmcblk0, they are signed using a public/device encryption key, that has been broken. When the system is booted it mounts the recovery image and performs requested functions. The AOS firmware format is also encrypted, but has not been broken. The stock firmware is held on mmcblk0 as well, in an 256bit device key encrypted SquashFS(which has also been broken). It is mounted with a chroot as R/O at stock boot.

Dual boot can be achieved in multiple ways, easiest of which is installing the openAOS multiboot menu. A current limitation is that all OSes must use the same kernel, until we can get kexec working correctly(or other more dangerous solutions).

P.S. Folder's like /boot and /home can be many different things. Folders, partitions, images, symlinks, etc. The advantage of linux/debian is that

everything

is represented in the file system. Even sending commands to devices or modifying driver settings is done by "modifying files". For example, to flip the touchscreen's input on my A101, you write the letter "N" to a "file" called /sys/module/hid_hanvon/parameters/rotate180.

This is actually an interface to the driver for the touchscreen, not an actual file, so sending the letter N to "rotate180" tells the driver to flip the input coming from that device(hid_hanvon = the touchscreen).

If you tell me what you're trying to achieve, I can give you more details. If you are just trying to learn, you should come to the openaos IRC channel. Lot's of years of experience in there.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
I didn't think bootloaders were stored on partitions. On PCs, the first stage bootloader is stored outside of any partition on the MBR.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
That's flashed on eMMC2. I was talking about the recovery bootloader. Basically, the bios is off limits, and the recovery bootloader allows updates, SDE flashing, etc. without risking bricking, as I'm sure you know.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
So boot0, the root of all control on the device, is not stored in a partition, like the first stage bootloader on a PC while boot1 (or whatever special bootloader that exists for recovery purposes) is stored on its respective partition like a second stage bootloader on a PC?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
I'm bumping this thread. Please explain further. What do you mean when you say "BIOS" and is boot1 the recovery bootloadr?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
Another bump.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorstenhirsch:
I also want to know the partition layout of gen8 devices after installing SDE and UrukDroid.

I already installed SDE and when I plug the device to my computer I see 3 partitions:

/dev/sdb1 76295 469632 12586808+ 83 Linux

/dev/sdb2 1 30518 976563 83 Linux

/dev/sdb3 30518 76295 1464844+ 83 Linux

sdb1 - 13GB, doesn't contain a /system, but here's the menu.lst

sdb2 - 1GB, contains a /system (but i think it's not the stock android installation) ...maybe UrukDroid?

sdb3 - 1.5GB, contains a /system, but has only a few files, etc is missing for example

So is the stock android partition invisible?

Nice review man waiting on ballistic to pump a case out or the kraken 2 I am on using the otter defender . Liked the camera ports more on it. Good review tho man pics too.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I have the same case for my E4G. Writes great and never hear an issue. I eventually went with the Ballistic HC once it was released, love it. I compared this case and the Defender at Best Buy yesterday. Bought the Defender since it covers the cameras (I gotta have the extra protection for work). I know the Seidio has the flap that covers the cameras, but it is huge and would get annoying to me to have to fold it back to take a pic(got old with me Evo4G), and as big as the flap is I bet it will not stay on the case for a long time. Once Ballistic releases their HC case, I'm jumping in it! Today I bought a HTC black silicone case for the evenings and weekends, i liked it better than the Otterbox Impact. The Impact slid off the bottom of the phone way to easy....
[HTC EVO 3D] SpyFi:

[HTC EVO 3D] xBryan:
Nice review thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ebolamonkey3:
I got to keep the case they gave me, that's all. They requested that I give them a quick description of the item when I got it (to prevent dmg in shipping I suppose), and let them see the review before I posted it.

Overall I like the combo case. It works well as a belt clip holder, and the Active case feels like a tank. Flipping back the camera cover can get annoying sometimes, but I don't see it falling off anytime soon.

Otherwise I've just been using the Surface case and carrying it in my pocket. Though the included screen protector is nice, since I've already gotten bits and pieces of dirt on it here and there, and I definitely prefer to wiping it off of my screen protector than my screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] sshark:

[Streak 5 General] kmkikofour8:
Whenever I play games on my dell streak it always freezes and then restarts and im running streakdroid 1.9 I dont know what the problem is.
[Streak 5 General] samstables:
I have a similar problem of random restarts, not just when playing games, but no idea why. I'm on the stock O2 2.2 build.

probably just need to clear out all the crap from installing & uninstalling apps!
[Streak 5 General] live_blues:
I had endless restart problems as well on my streak, here is a attack checklist ;)

Make sure you didnt install performance mod(!) I think there is a batch of cpu's that got build into the streak boards that simply cant handle perf mod and any overclocking whatsoever. The only way I dont get restarts is by having the CPU set to 998 MHZ. anything above that? BAM

Heat. yes, I know this sounds silly and this is not a computer that needs watercooling but there is a reproducible problem for my streak if i hold it behind the battery!!!:D If I wanna do anything cpu intense I have to hold it on the sides or the frame (dont put it on a table, hold it up), otherwise its starts lagging pretty fast n then freezes.

Also: flash the 351 if none of that works for you and try the game again. If you still have restarts on 351 (without overheating it) run something really cpu intense like benchmark on endless or something that comes close (to make sure the game is not the source of the restart). If after that it still restarts, congratulations, Dell support time :(
[Streak 5 General] samstables:
Thanks, I'll try those and report back
[Streak 5 General] LloydPatten:
I use clockwork mod for my installations and I found out that if you wipe clean all the caches before flashing the installation seems to be better, take time and care over the install...if you feel that its wrong...start again!
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
well, you don't say what happens, but here's what I did:

10 foot micro to normal hdmi cable.

Plugged it into the tablet. Plugged the other into the TV. Turned on the TV.

Works great! Btw, the bottom bar with the buttons and clock do not show on the TV (by design.)
[Acer Iconia A500] dayjob:
I have 2 and both have issues if your holding the tablet with HDMI plugged in. It seems the port is a bit weak and so laying it down is the best way for them to work.
[Acer Iconia A500] OKAstro:
Me too

I can't get anything to show on my Panasonic 720P Plasma. Would the native resolution of the TV be a factor?

I've tried 3 different cables, tried jiggling the connections...the micro HDMI does seem to wiggle a little bit...almost like it's a little loose
[Acer Iconia A500] spike1969:
I bought a cheap cable off ebay, plugged it in, selected HDMI input on the TV and it works perfectly.

Mine is a rooted stock 3.1 but it also worked prior to the 3.1 upgrade.
[Acer Iconia A500] MrBoingy:
I thought the same first time I tried.

Turned out to be cable. Got another and that was fine. Worked first time.

Got a replacement for the original and managed to break that on the first go.

To paraphrase Archimedes, Give me a HDMI port small enough and I will break it.

It only takes a litttttle bit of vertical jiggling and it snaps the end off.
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
Same here, used micro to hdmi cable included in my Motorola Droid X (in Mexico it's called Motoroi X).

Works nice, it mirrors all but bottom bar and not only by desing but also screen is 800px tall and 720p well... 720px tall, so bar is hidden wich is perfect BUT:

Youtube app ROCKS in HDMI, you see the video in your big screen but you see complete layout in your tab, comments, relared videos, video playing in mini mode etc. :D but I found that sometimes doesn't work (very rare), also flash sometimes works nice and sometimes it kicks you in the balls.

[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
it's still called mr2.5... but to make you happy ill call it mr2.5 leak.
[Thunderbolt General] iamosborne:
Try going to Settings>Software Update>Check New

See if that does the trick.
[Thunderbolt General] youarealwaysthereMD:
I switched up from the mr2.5 leak and have had trouble noticing which is better (they both had somewhat bad battery drain but really good reception, and the new radio definitely has better speeds). Have you reverted back to 2.5?
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
i went back to 2.5 last night but my battery got warm and i had a reboot today. i have since decided to stick it out with the new OTA radio.
[Thunderbolt General] youarealwaysthereMD:
You can't go wrong with the stability of the new OTA radio (or the speed improvement I saw). There is definitely less battery life, but I'm hoping a GB leak comes along to help devs spruce up their ROMs. Can't wait to see what they do once the OTA GB is leaked.
[Thunderbolt General] youarealwaysthereMD:
Do you think we could get a video of the new boot animation and a pic of the new hotspot app icon? The new 3G icon is something seen on the DInc 2 and a few other VZ devices I believe. The old one is definitely nicer.

Thanks in advance.

So far noticing the new 3G icon, easy LTE on/off access, new boot screen (all previously mentioned). Hoping to notice an improvement in 4G over the next few days. I would previously lose 4G easily and take a while to regain it, sometimes manually rebooting to get it back.

[General Questions and Answers] camiloorozco:
I got my sgs2 about a month ago and its been like a dream, battery lasts for a long time phone runs ultra smoothly no glitches and nothing weird has been happening, but these last few days its just been really weird.

1) it started randomly going into driving mode, i dont even know how to activate it or what it does, but i think its draining my battery

2)When i was watching a tv show on my phone it thought that there was an hdmi cable connected and wouldnt let me hear anything through my headphones. i exited it several times but it still though there was a cable connected. Then i went straight home and quit it from the task manager and it worked with the headphines but that might have been a coincidence.

3)When i connect the charger it takes a while to realize that its charging and sometimes stops charging and says that the battery is too hot or too cold but when i feel the phone it feels completely normal.

4)When i connect the usb cable, other than taking a while to realize that its connected to a charger it doesnt realize that its a usb so i cant transfer files with my computer which i do often

5)I pressed home before and it took me to some sort of clock which i imagine is for a dock but i have no such thing

6) Even after using the phone for a while and using several apps the android os has used 59% of my battery, when usually its the display that uses about 30 or 40%

none of these things had happened before and now they randomly started all at once, i havent downloaded any shady apps so i doubt its malware

any ideas?

thanks

seems like majority of your problems are linked with the micro USB port, try resetting your phone and see if that helps. This is weird though.
