The clue is in the error:

temui\res/drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi
Whats wrong with the bolded area?

the slash is the wrong way? why would it do that?

apktool incorrectly decompiled it. You need to remove those wrong slahes in the xml.

well ****, that seems like a lot of work

Nothing ctrl F won't fix. Or a grep.
Or just use the xml you modified and keep the old stuff.

now when u say to just use the xml i modded...how? do i just copy it to the apk im trying to flash? I thought it had to be recompiled? or can i recompile an individual xml. Im new to this whole themeing thing

[Request] Notification bar mods

Hi guys!
I'm a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
First day, unlocked, rooted and Android Revolution HD rom installed!
I'm now trying to get my perfect setup and I need your help!
I'm trying to mod the notification bar like in the Black Exodus theme by Nitroz.
I'd like all icons in white with the black notification bar and the clock in the center of the bar. Next thing I want is when the bar is expanded to get all words in white instead of ICS blue.
Problem is, I'm not able to get it to work.
I've got my systemUI.apk and my Framework-res.apk ready.
Got my apktool installed to decompile and recompile the apk and signapk to sign it.
I've managed to get my SystemUI to decompile and put in a line of code in the status_bar.xml file to get the clock centered.
I then try to recompile it but that's where I fail. It freaks out and gives me a few errors that I don't understand.
I was wondering if the people of XDA would be kind enough to help me out here!
Thanks in advance!

If you changed number of images for battery animation, you'll have to edit "stat_sys_battery.xml" and "stat_sys_battery_charge.xml" in "SystemUI.apk/res/drawable/" otherwise battery icon won't show up. Other icons are just png files.
Dont know where the color of the text is but its somewhere in framework-res.apk. My advice is to do one thing, compile, push and see how it works. If it works, do another edit.
What edits you've made exactly?

I've tried to get the clock centered (which is my main goal)
White icons and white text is a big plus!
I found quite a few tutorials on how to get the clock centered so I guess my code should be solid.
But since I can't recompile my SystemUI file I couldn't see if it worked or not.
It gives me this error message.

You could try AOKP. You can center clock in setting of the rom.
For apktool try to decompile SystemUI.apk over 10. Thats decompiling with dependence and you can install your framework this way.
Over 22 choose your SystemUI.apk. Press 10, some blabla will write in the terminal and you will be asked to put your dependency file. Just drag your framework-res.apk in the window or put the full path to it and that should do it. Then you can decompile with 9.

Yeah I knew you could manually do it in AOKP but I really like the ROM i'm on now.
Oké, I'll try that! Thanks!

It doesn't work. When I try to drag my framework-res.apk when it asks for my dependee apk it says:
"Sorry that's not the dependee apk, try again"
Any ideas?

Damn I'm sure I had the same problem but I can't remember how I fixed it
Well this is what I did and it worked for me. Make sure your apktool is in C:

Yes I did all that.
I stopped messing with it and used a gentle approach and I managed to get it to work. Got my new SystemUI to compile and sign and pushed it back to the phone.
Rebooted my phone and *sign* status bar and softkeys were gone.
changing some .png files aren't the problem. That's easy.
Messing with the code isn't! Any help would be appreciated to get my clock centered with the Android Revolution HD ROM!
Thanks AlisCZ for your help so far!

Sorry. I don't know what you should do now. Statusbar and navbar disappear when you do wrong edit in code. Thats only thing I cant tell you right now. I dont have to sign SystemUI for my AOKP btw

If your using primo in there make sure to use com.htc.resources.apk and framework-red.apk as the framework files, that seems to be the problem.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

b4 you decomp your files, u need 2 do:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Then u kan decomp, chang things nd compile

Has anyone had this problem with apktool on mac?

Has anyone else has this problem with apktool on mac os X 10.7.4? I tried to recompile the framework-res to have a smaller navigation bar.

It's a Mac lawsuit thing, Apple doesn't like competitors.

Hahaha, so true .
vince.26, I guess the mods will be harsh on you for posting in the wrong section because you're using something made by Apple...
nah, I'm just kidding ya.
Not sure why you get that error, but anyway... Mac sucks - at least the OS. If I ever buy a MacBook (if I ever have a manager-like income, that is), I'll dual-boot Windows and Linux on it, but make sure I burn the disk first, so no trace of Mac ****ness is left XD

CAn anyone find whats Wrong ???

Have you installed the relevant files first? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759573

SystemUI has different recompile.. I was looking for a solution for 20 days but noone helped.. anyway here is %100 solution of myself for recompiling SystemUI.apk
>> use wanam's ICS apk manager. it works with GB too..
>> Before decompile .apk , right click and ' open archive ' with 7-zip. Drag & drop classes.dex file to a folder or desktop, and delete inside the .apk..
Decompile it, do what you want and recompile.. After all is ok, open unsigned apk with 7-zip and drag&drop classes.dex back.
Cheers..
Opss, ıf U still have recompile problem, try using latest 'aapt' file. ,)

thanks for the reply ...i will give each method a try ...
