Ok so i started getting into theming and i had a few questions that are getting me stuck and endless googling isnt getting the job done and i need your guys help!
Firstly, I am using a mac.
I first download a theme to use as a template.
I extract the update.zip and then extract the framework-res.apk
After i replace my .png images is where i get stuck.
I know i need to re-zip the framework-res.
Do i do this by compressing it into a zip and renaming to .apk? I read i may need to compress for "storage"? If so how would i do this on a mac?
Then i need to sign this. I have an auto signing tool that i think will work. It is drag and drop and its called "sign me" it requires me to have a file called "testsign.jar" in the root of my mac. Will this work or do i need to sign another way?
What all files do i need to sign?
And when i compress the final file do i just do it in a simple update.zip and sign it or do i need to sign it as "storage" as well?
Thanks in advance hope i can get some help!
Edit: if worst comes to worst i have windows and linux partitions on my mac
