Root constant force closes after editing framework-res.apk

I'm glad it's not just me that loses their google sync and wallpaper when pushing a new framework-res.

I wanted to give my 2c and say this method works for me as well (although I actually adb push files from my computer, but that shouldn't affect anything).

I know OP said he is using Pete's virgin FroYo, what ROM are you using GirLuvsDroid?

Maybe the virgin ROM isn't properly deodexed?

[Edit: For the record, I've successfully done this on CM 6.0 Alpha 7 and RC1]
I edit framework-res.apk icons etc on my phone all i had to do is get all tge correct sizes, and replace tgen tge compress it and change the zip to apk and put it in a flashable zip flasged it and no probkems
