[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Sorry for the delay, folks. It's been a crazy few days offline lately..

Let's see what I've got going on today! I'll be thanking the posts in a moment but I'm short on time so, if you don't get thanked, don't take it personally. You still have my gratitude for posting. :thumbsup:

Curious. I've downloaded your file just now and I'll try it out in a few minutes. Watch this space!

Stellar and spectacular, eh? Well, I just have to answer your questions now!! :D

The boot animations are .ZIP files. These contain images and a text file that tells Android in what order to display them. I know Samsung like to use their own formats for their Android ROM's but you should still be able to use them. I don't think converting them .QMG would work..

As for using the boot animations, you need to extract the .EXE to the same folder that you extracted the main tool to. So if you extracted the TMA .EXE to "c:", you need to extract the boot animations to "c:" as well.

You should have, once the extraction has finished, a folder in your "user_files" folder called "BOOTANIMS". And that folder should contain all the boot animations. To change your animation, go into the Theming Menu and select "Create Flashable Zip File". That's the menu you need.

Any problems, let me know. I'd be more than happy to walk you through it.

So you're using a custom ROM and can't decompile or install the framework-res.apk. This is the error you're getting when you try decompiling:

I've put in bold the actual error. You're not doing anything wrong, the issue is with the file itself. Apktool can't open it.

Can you share your APK please? It's not impossible that, being a custom ROM, it was constructed in an unusual way and can't be modded. Annoying if that's the cause, but it does happen..

Hmm. Odd. It's working fine for me.

Are you getting no response at all from the mouse, or is it reacting to the wrong lines?

I've put these two quotes together so I can reply in one go.

edzamber is nearly right when they mentioned twframework-res.apk...

This is the error:

Can't find framework resources for package of id: 2. You must install proper framework files, see project website for more info.

This is basically saying that apktool needs a second framework file to be installed for this file to decompile. On a Samsung Touchwiz ROM, this second file is twframework-res.apk. md1982 has a Sony Z3c (like me!) and the file that's needed here is SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.

Pull and install that file, then you should find the decompiling goes much more smoothly!
