It can do so. When you push by rootexplorer you simply overvrite it with new apk, and when you make zip package it sort of overwrites only changed things. Hard to explain. But here is an example:

I was theming my spica and pushed framework-res.apk, then I had los all the data like accounts etc and had FCs, and when I made zip package everything had worked.

I am using APKtool to compile and recompile. I use 7zip when I say unzip.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
That is because when using a zip the framework isn't in use. Android isn't running, so there's nothing to fc. If you adb push in recovery it'll be that way too.

Right, thanks for explaination, couldn't figure it out :D

by zipupdatemaker tool and changing zip format(?) to work with cwm5

But the easiest way is to download any package that updates files to system/framework and simply replace file ;)

I can post such an zip if you want

Okay, after a full re-install of windows, I MAY have actually fixed my problems of de/recompiling! So far I have successfully done a few mods to systemUI.apk. Now that I am in business, I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to change the status bar clock font and size without changing the whole system font. I have located the clock in "status_bar.xml" found in "/res/layout/" of systemUI.apk. This is what the line of code looks like:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

Any suggestions on how to go about changing the size and font?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Okay, got the size figured out, still stumped on changing font though.

I have also been able to successfully edit framework-res.apk, so I'm in business!

Lidroid-res.apk still gives me issues, but I suspect that is just a problem with lidroid, not me.

Ok, so My baseband is latin american.. (Claro) I accedently updated to another Baseband :s and I took it to the Main Dept. They restored by phone back to Froyo... Dx Is there a Way I can Update it without changing basebands? But the REAL Question, is there a way to RIP the original ROM from a Phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
ripping is easy just copy /system to /sdcard,

making rom:- make changes create a flash able zip and you are done

Does it Preserve the Baseband??? That's what's really important to me
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] lordsolrac2:
So I just copy /system into a zip inside /sdcard for a back up?

Then is there a way to get 2.3.4 without using the Stock ROM?

type in the build.prop "gsm.version.baseband=what you want as a baseband

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruitycups:
Hey guys,

Just installed my first rom and my head is spinning at the unanswered questions i have.

my first question is regarding clockworkmod

if i go into "apply update from .zip..." theres an option that says "apply /sdcard/update.zip". That option was there even before i loaded a custom rom. If i clicked on that when I have a custom rom running, what exactly does it do. My understanding is that "update.zip" is from the original rom. Is that correct?

Second question

What is the difference between doing a wipe data/factory reset from CWM when compared to doing it through the settings menu?

I never make a back up because I have no issues starting over but i just realized that some roms require you to install it with a "stock device." If a rom requires a stock start, does that mean you have to odin and wipe it to the stock rom before installing that specific rom?

If a rom doesn't require you to have the stock rom, does that mean you can just flash over custom rom after custom rom?

In those situations, do you move the rom.zip to the root folder THEN go into CWM and wipe dalvik THEN choose "install zip" or is it another order?

Under mounts and storage, what does "format/system" do? is that the same as "wipe data/factory reset"?

maybe i should just go back to iphone. this is just a cluster**** of info.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Update.zip is old stuff, as you suspected its to do with official updates. Cwm works across many devices that's why it's still there.

Your phone is divided into several partitions. They are prefixed with a / because the Linux convention treats partitions exactly the same as directories. Unless you have been living under a rock you probably know android is a fork of Linux.

/boot contains the Linux kernel

/recovery contains the recovery mode software, in your v case cwm.

/system holds the system apps and files.

/cache is similar to the swap file on a Windows pc or the /tmp directory on Linux. Dalvik cache is stored here as well although I'm not 100% site how that works. It's something to do with the java runtime.

/data is all your user settings and apps.

Factory reset wipes /data and /cache thus removing all installed apps and your account settings etc. A factory reset achieves the same thing regardless if you launch it in cwm or from the settings menu.

When changing roms you don't need to go back to stock first, it's just the way some devs have written their instructions. You should however always wipe /cache when changing roms. A full wipe is not usually required unless you are changing to a completely new base e.g. upgrading from an xxalf Rom to xxlfb you shouldn't need full wipe or going from one xxlfb Rom to another shouldn't need wipe. Changing from a Samsung based Rom to something like Cyanogenmod you should always full wipe.

Always wipe before flashing as some roms modify /data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruitycups:
thank you for taking the time out to write that.

What is the difference between advanced restore and advanced back up against regular restore and back up (in CWM).

Also, which exactly do i have to wipe. Which cache? There are three different options i think.

Lastly, if i made a nandroid backup of the rooted stock rom in its stock form with no mods, do i still have to wipe the cache when i install a new rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Advanced backup and restore lets you choose which partitions to backup or restore, vs the standard option which backs up everything.

As I mentioned earlier you only need to wipe the cache. Dalvik cache is a sub directory of /cache so wiping /cache will wipe that also.

You should always wipe /cache when installing a new Rom. It doesn't affect anything from the user perspective except that first boot will be long while android rebuilds the cache. It probably isn't strictly necessary when moving to roms with the same base but can't hurt since it has no negative impact. Even factory updates wipe the cache automatically for you. Some custom roms do as well but better safe than sorry since most don't tell you either way in the description.

hey guys, i got my GSIII for Bell about 2 weeks ago (and Bell has an LTE network). so a few day sfter i got it, i got no service at a place where i always get 3-4 bars, i rebooted the phone and the problem was gone. it happened again the same day and i rebooted again and it was fixed again. nothing has happened since, until yesterday. i was on my way to work and took a glance at my phone and it said unregistered SIM, so i rebooted it and it took a few minutes for it to gain access to the network again. today it happened again and i rebooted again and got LTE and HSPA back. has anyone else had this problem at all? it kinda sucks seeing as i paid full price for it and its acting up like this. any help would be appreciated

thanks

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bagbug:
this has nothing to do with the SIM. I have the same problem (also with Bell) and I called them. They are aware of this situation and are working on a solution. Usually happens when you go from LTE to HSPA.

They told me to switch my settings to GSM/HSPA instead of GSM/HSPA/LTE until its fixed. My SIM is new btw.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dbzgod:
Have you tryed doing a battery pull? There is sometimes temp data that causes issues and a battery pull fixes it. When I got my S3 on launch day they said there was a delay in the network so it will be about 30mins before it shows registered SIM and works for me almost 3hrs later still no service. Went to my rep and asked me if I did a battery pull said no only tryed rebooting. Once I pulled the battery wait 30sec and put it back all was well. Try that if the issue is still there them most likely a SIM card problem and you need to go to a Bell store and sort it out.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] balla4lyf23:
and by changing to GSM/HSPA has it stopped the unregistered SIM problem so far? cuz LTE isnt a huge deal for me to have right now
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] y2whisper:
that would be unfortunate as LTE is something that I really use now that its turned on at my workplace. If thats the case I hope an update comes soon.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bagbug:
of course, like I said , they are aware of the problem.

I change it back to LTE when I need speed (tethering).
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] balla4lyf23:
ya the guy at the bell store told me to do the same thing today, said their LTE network is messed up right now and its not just GSIII's that are having these problems..on an aside, this morning i had my phone fully charged and had a 4 hour shift at work, at the end of the shift, after barely using it, my battery was at 7% ridulous, he said it was prolly cuz the phone was constantly searching for an LTE network, hopefully switching the network now increases my battery life!

How do I check if I'm rooted?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] WinDroidGuy:
The first update will "fail" since you have CWM installed. So go to choose zip from sdcard, make sure signature verification is off, apply the file. Once you boot up your system apps will update.

If you installed voodoo you'll keep root, if not use Paul's root method with insecure boot.img to regain root.
