Thank you, was going to attempt this myself but you beat me to it lol.
I was always having problems decompiling the phone.apk, any chance you could let me know what tools you used to decompile / recompile the apk?

0- Notepad ++
1- Baksmali
2- Smali
3- 7 Zip
or simply use Apk Manager.
you need to change below smali file.
Code:
com\android\phone\Ringer$1.smali
* Very Important
And if you want don't face to any fc error, you need to use low compression or better to use NoCompression mod.

Make sure you are decompiling it with dependencies (twframework-res.apk), decompiled /res/drawable-hdpi should not have any corrupted file (such as corrupted 9patch)

Thank you for that, that's something I actually did want to know.
I had a look at APK Manager a while ago and didn't end up having any luck decompiling properly, so I went to straight Smali / Baksmali scripts. Only ever had luck with .jar files though.

Also, is it possible that it's framework-res.apk that it uses and not twframework-res.apk ?? I tried twframework-res and it just sat there and did nothing, framework-res decompiled it properly.

framework-res.apk doesn't depends upon twframework-res. It should be decompiled without any dependency.

No I meant for when decompiling phone.apk I use framework-res instead of twframework-res

Is this phone-apk also working with an odexed JVZ?

NO! its just for deodex

Ehy M_J_Nazari, since you're very smart, you want to give me a hand?

i tried this on a jvt rom i'm using and it worked..
thanks

It works great with odexed roms too, you just have to delete phone.odex from your /system/app.

Can you please tell us what you patched to disable the increasing ringtone? I want to be able to do this for the latest ROMs.

[Q] Modifying xmls

I am interested in changing the color of the text of the status bar. I have already modified all the images I need, now just need to modify the xml.
I am modifying the framework-res.apk colors xml. After I have made the change I recompile the apk. Switch out the Meta-INF and AndroidManifest.xml with the ones from the original apk but when I push to my phone the color of the status bar text isn't changing. These are the lines I have changed:
<color name="status_bar_text">#ff73cd68</color>
<color name="status_bar_clock_text">#ff73cd68</color>

You might find better luck actually pming a themer or posting it in the theme section. Not much Turner's drop by here

If you got the framework-res.apk to recompile without errors then the changes you made should definitely work. There is no need to sawp anything owhen recompiling, just edit the xml, recompile it as a system app and push it to system/app via root explorer or any equivalent.
Which ROM framework are you trying to modify?

Thanks ill give that I try.
I am actually modifying the ICS theme for Cakulin's rom.
**Doesn't seem to work either. I should be changing the colors.xml in the framework-res.apk right?
Got it: Make sure to delete the stupid resources.arsc!

Yes, and although you won't find the values folder when you recompile you'll still need to delete the resources.arsc when recompiling, if you'd like, you can attach the framework-res.apk you're trying to modify and I can change it for you.
I also, stated inadvertently, to place it in system/app that is incorrect it goes in system/framework which may actually be part of the problem.

I got it figured out, just before you posted about the resources. Now I just got to figure out why my launcher keeps restarting.

[REQ] Modification of systemUI.apk

Hi all

Thx a lot in advance !

What line(s) in statusbar.xml need changed?

its the one with clock, only one line has the word "clock"
thx for help !

I just deleted the lines for the clock in that xml. I obviously didn't test it, so make sure you know how to recover if it doesn't work. The .zip that is attached is NOT flashable. I also put a working 4.2.x apktool in there with instructions for you to do it yourself if you want to in the future. It's pretty easy to do if you have a working apktool (I compiled this one from paulobrein's github since he edited the source to be compatible with 4.2).

Thank you dude i really appreciate..
This is, what i call help. Thanks and thanks again.
Cheers :good:
edit: i also tried yesterday with apk tool and succeed to decompile and recompile, sign the apk.
the strange thing is that the file goes from 1.5 mb to 1.12mb just by deleting one line
Indeed, it doesnt work. I dont know what's the problem

The size change might just because the zip is compressed more or less. It doesn't always mean anything is wrong. You can decompile it again and compare the contents with the original to make sure everything is there. Do you know how that mod is usually made? Is deleting the lines the correct way?

Have tried the edit myself,with SystemUI, dont sign it, open the original and copy META-INF and androidmanifest.xml over to your new file,let me know if it worked.
Just rename to SystemUI.apk and push to system/app and reboot

SystemUI Theme

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.

Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM

Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.
