====================================================
====================================================
Info:
====================================================
The purpose of this doc is for those who like to modify their framework-res.apk and framework.jar files especially the newer guys on android, after they made modification at times a bad compile or a bad file download can occur and could lead to a bootloop on your beloved flare.
It is still advisable that you make a backup of your original framework-res.apk and framework.jar files since every custom ROM has a different modifications made in it and installing this backup could loose those mods made by the dev that released the custom ROM.
Files included on the flashable Zip file:
-framework-res.apk
-framework.jar
Reason for using a flashable framework files:
-after modding the framework files and you made a bad edit, a can bootloop occur. People tend to flash the whole rom to get the phone back operating properly. By using this flashable zip file, you can flash back just the modified framework files and not the whole new rom.
-kindly add if have more...
====================================================
====================================================
Steps you need to do: (before modding any files)
====================================================
Note: If you are on Stock Recovery, just download the Backup_Framework_Flasher.zip and place it on your external SDCARD. Use it to flash back your Framework files.
1. Download the Backup_Framework_Flasher.zip and copy it on your internal sdcard(the sdcard that is built in on the device).
Download link:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]2. Make some mods and test it. if bootloop occurs, proceed to next step.
Note: If no problems occur on your framework mod. kindly share, we'll be happy to try it. =)
3. Use CWM/Stock recovery (depending on what you use) to flash Backup_Framework_Flasher.zip file.
Note: once flashed a msg would say that you flashed the framework-res.apk file. in actuality both files were installed. i just forgot to change the text in it.lol.. sorry... =)

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ON WHAT HAPPENS ON YOUR DEVICE, IT IS UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO TRY THIS METHOD. IT WORKS FOR ME, IT WILL PROBABLY WORK ON YOUR DEVICE AS WELL, BUT I CAN'T GUARANTEE IT ALWAYS..
Things you need to have on your PC:
-pcdrivers.zip already installed on your PC
-ADB Platform-tools
Info:
This is for those who encountered bootloops after editing or deleting the framework-res.apk and framwork.jar files on your /system/framework folder. This can work as well on other files as long as you can boot to CWM and have a backup of the file/files.
I haven't tried in on Stock Recovery so I don't know if it will work from there. I'm still not good in ADB but this if how I do it when i can't boot.
1. Install your ADB drivers(pcdrivers.zip)
Note: this can be found on your flare, just look for it and install it. Check the file section if you don't know how to install it.
2. Download and setup you Android ADB & Fastboot.
Note: you can follow this tutorial from redmonpie on how to setup.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Alternatively: you can download my copy of the ADB Platform-tools, but will still need to follow the tutorial from Redmonpie on how to set it up.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]3. Get a copy of your working framework-res.apk and framework.jar and place it on your c: drive.
Note: you can also use the Backup_Framework_Flasher.zip above if you forgot have a backup. Just extract it and get the 2 framework files inside.
4. Boot your device on CWM > "mounts and storage" > "mount /system"
Note: it should now appear "unmount /system"
Note: You can do this also from adb shell(from command prompt)
adb devices
adb shell
mount system
5. Open command prompt by going to your "platform-tools" folder then "hold shift key + right mouse click" > Open Command Window Here.
6. Type this commands in command prompt.
adb devices ---> to check if your phone is accesible.
adb push c:\framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push c:\framework.jar /system/framework/
Note: using the last 2 command above, the file framework-res.apk and framework.jar should be on your drive c:
7. Verify if the file is transferred properly. Still within command prompt.
adb shell
ls /system/framework
Note: the 2 framework files should appear on the posted list.
8. Change the permission of the file. Still on command prompt.
chmod 644 /system/framework-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework.jar
exit
9. Reboot device, still on command prompt.
adb reboot
Note: if it does not reboot, try the one from the menu.
if it does not reboot after trying to reboot from the menu, remove battery..
