So I am trying to using apk-took but I can not located the twframework-res.apk I have found the framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ directory and place both files in the other folder. I am running the stock rooted rom. Do I need to find the rom and decompile it or does someone already have those files for the GN that I can use. Any help would be nice. Thanks :cyclops:
LOL because we dont have a touchwiz framework-res.apk why are you looking for it anyways?
I figured, I thought it was required for apk tool. Thanks for the reassurance though and taking your time to answer this question.
Nope just need to run
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
then you can start decompiling system apps and such. Make sure you have the framework-res.apk from your ROM and running that command in the same directory (folder) as the APK.

Hello! Where to find the twframework-res.apk in Android Oreo?

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 am not clear from what you did. But you need to do it this way.
apktool if ion SemcGenericUxRes.apk
apktool d -t ion framework-res.apk out
make changes to decompiled source
apktool b out new.framework-res.apk
Now open both framework-res.apk and new.framework-res.apk side by side using an archiver. Do not use windows open.
Now you will notice one thing that the new framework does not contain META-INF folder.
Delete the resources.arsc file from the original framework-res. Drag the resources.arsc from the new framework-res and dump it on to the original framework-res. Close both the files.
Now you are ready to use the updated original framework-res.apk

1.Install framework about framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.
2.Decompile framework-res.apk and make change of the source.
3.Recompile framework-res.apk and build the new framework-res.apk.
4.Take the resources.arsc and the raw which I changed from the new framework-res.apk to the original framework-res.apk.
5.Replace the final framework-res.apk in my phone with 644 permission.
I reboot and loop in the bootanimation.

I make sure the steps are ok because I can decompile the framework.apk of miui.Anyway,thanks a lot!
As you all know, Sprint disables the 1x icon from displaying when you are in 1x coverage. It still shows the 3G icon. I know that you can modify the values file and edit the boolean to enable it. I have tried to use apktool and I cannot even get the program to work.
Anyhow, I was wondering if someone who knows how to do this could decompile my SystemUI.apk file, fix it, recompile it and send it back to me. It would be greatly appreciated! Just let me know, and I'll email you my SystemUI.apk file and whatever you may need to get it done.
Thanks,
Rich

Attached is my SystemUI.apk. The reason I need this particular one done is because I've made a bunch of image changes and stuff, particularly for the signal bars, battery, and data icons.
Thanks!
Use apktool 1.5. Flip the 3g minimum value in bools.xml

I download the files, and extract them where they say to do so. I can't get it to run at all though. Says the file isn't valid or something like that.

firstly make sure you have the JRE/JDK installed from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
download this file: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390288116658471591
extract it to c:\apktool
copy framework-res.apk to c:\apktool
copy twframework-res.apk to c:\apktool
open a command prompt (with admin privileges if on win8), navigate to c:\apktool
type apktool if framework-res.apk
next type apktool if twframework-res.apk
copy any.apk to c:\apktool
type apktool d any.apk to decompile
edit the files in the c:\apktool\any\ you need changed
to recompile type apktool b any any.apk
there are a few more steps left but you need to be able to get this working first.

Download apktool by iBotpeaches. Get the aapt for windows. Extract both the things in the same folder. Get framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk in /system/framework and place it in this folder. Now shift+right click in that folder and open cmd there. Type - apktool if framework-res.apk nozomi
Then type - apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk nozomi
Now place settings.apk in that same folder and type - apktool d -f -t nozomi Settings.apk
Then make any changes that you want to do and type - apktool b Settings
Collect your new apk in Settings/dist. Then open your original settings.apk with winrar and also open your new apk with winter. Copy the Meta-inf folder from old to new and chose store as compression method. Enjoy!
