I: Loaded.
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Decoding values*/* XMLs...
I: Done.
I: Copying assets and libs...
I have recompile apk with apktool without changing the source.
Just one test (decompile, recompile, push).
No problem.
Code:
C:\Xperia\apktool>apktool b -f SystemUI unsignedSystemUI.apk
I: Smaling...
I: Building resources...
I: Building apk file...
And i have sign unsignedSystemUI.apk width apkmanager. No problem.
I have push the file with ADB (Rename unsignedSystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk).
Code:

You answered your own question
unsignedSystemUI.apk
is unsigned.
after signing it should be signedSystemUI.apk or something like that. (thats what my version of apkManager does)
also if you have apkmanager why are you using apktool
apkmanager will take care of compiling and stuff for you and preserve the original sigs if you need to. (for system files you do)
this is a good reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834806
for more help a log at boot would be helpfull.

Thanks Pvy.
But my file unsignedSystemUI.apk created by apktool is signed by apkmanager.
Apkmanager just creates a signed file with option 16. It does not rename the file.
I'm use apktool because akmanager me back several errors in decompiling the file SystemUI.apk
Thank for the link... I'll look at it

Do you have both frameworks installed?
Any chance of seeing what apk manager said?

Framework installed ?
It's ok with Apkmanager when decompiling SystemUI.apk.
I have modify /res/layout/status_bar.xml and i have adding background image (/res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background_transparent.9.png with a transparence)
But when i reboot my phone with this file (compile and sign apk file with apkmanager), the status bar not loading
I have adding the file in my first post !
Very thanks for your help Pvy

I have log my boot.
I found this :
Code:
I/PackageManager( 328): /system/app/SystemUI.apk changed; collecting certs
D/dalvikvm( 328): GC_CONCURRENT freed 572K, 41% free 4409K/7367K, external 1685K/2133K, paused 2ms+5ms
W/PackageManager( 328): Signature mismatch for shared user : SharedUserSetting{2b073e90 android.uid.system/1000}
E/PackageManager( 328): Package com.android.systemui has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!
Why ??? I sign the file with apkmanager...

Ok i have found my problem
I don't sign the file after compile because the file is already been signed !!!
If you sign the file after compile with Apkmanager, it change the file signature and the file will be ignored during the boot...

i already told you

Click to expand...

YOU MUST use the same sigs as b4 the sigs that apkamnager uses to resign wont work for system apps.
this is how i edit the file.
Notes:
a. i have a file on my desctop that i edit this is a copy of the file pulled from my phone.
Steps:
1. after all mods are done open up apk manager
2. type 22 hit enter and pick the file you were editing ( SystemUI.apk )
3. type 11 hit enter and the app will recompile.
4. Open a copy of the SystemUI.apk ( see note a ) in winnra or 7zip ect put that window on one side of your screen ( windows 7 snap too (windows key + -> or <- ) is awesome for this )
5. Navigate to the projects folder of APK Manager and then navigate to the app you edited (SystemUI.apk)
6. Navigate to the /build/apk folder ( snap this to the other side of your screen ) ( Note that the build/apk folder has the same structure as the apk file open in winnra / 7zip )
7. you will need these files simply drag the modified files into the same folder location in the open apk in winnra / 7zip

[Q] How to edit Sony ICS Callscreen?

I'm trying to edit the positions of the graphics on this screen, but I can't find the specific strings in the code. I looked after the name of the different images and found them in the drawable-hdpi folder, but a string containing the filename does not exist!
I searched in framework-res.apk & SemcPhone.apk. I can change the graphics if I move them into the .apk's, but I want to change the location of the slider background for example. Can someone help me? Where do I have to start?

decompile "SemcPhone.apk",
Use:
$ astro grep
$ beyond compare
You can edit images via gimp, and move values via dimens.xml...

[Tutorial] Decompile/Recompile APKs

Complete guide on how to Decompile/Recompile Apks with APKTOOL
This Tutorial is for Windows Only
Apktool and all .bat files outlined in this tutorial have been uploaded here for your convenience
Requirements
- 7zip / Winrar (or similar)
- Apktool - (Package link above)
Notes
- I use .bat file to make the whole process alot quicker ...
- Copying Apktool files (aapt.exe, apktool.bat, apktool.jar, baksmali.jar, zipalign.exe) into C:/windows will allow you to use the .bat files anywhere on your computer without the need for apktool in the same directory
Step 1 - First you need to install the framework files so the apktool can use them to decompile other apks in the rom that depend on the framework
- Make a text document and rename it "Install Framework.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code
Code:
CMD /K apktool if framework-res.apk
- with your framework-res.apk in the folder run the Install Framework.bat file and it should output
Code:
Framework installed to: C:\Users\USER\apktool\framework\1.apk
Step 2 - Decompiling (we will be decompiling framework-res.apk in this tutorial)
- First make a copy of the apk you wish to decompile and name it backup.apk (this will be used later)
- Make a text document and rename it "Decompile.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to decompile)
Code:
CMD /K apktool d framework-res.apk
- with your apk in the same folder run the Decompile.bat file and it create a folder that you can edit as you see fit
Step 3 - Recompiling (we will be Recompiling framework-res.apk in this tutorial)
- Make a text document and rename it "Compile.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to recompile)
Code:
del almostdone.apk
CMD /K apktool b framework-res almostdone.apk
- Run the Compile.bat file and it create an apk called almostdone.apk (if you get errors you most likely made a change which broke the apk)
- Open both almostdone.apk and backup with 7zip or Winrar
- Drag all the contents of almostdone.apk except for AndroidManifest.xml into backup.apk and replace existing files
- Now make a text document and rename it "Zipalign.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to recompile)
Code:
del framework-res.apk
zipalign.exe -v 4 backup.apk framework-res.apk
- Run the Zipalign.bat file and it create the finished apk

Nice one :good:, but i think very few takers in our forum. I was also thinking about posting on ROM Porting, but there are many guides already out there .

yeah ... seems so.... iv'e tryed porting myself ... never got it booting ...

Thanks for this. Maybe people will stop demanding so much and start to experiment and learn themselves....

Thanks, I've been having trouble using apkmanager and needed to get a good setup with apktools for editing framework. I'll give this a go and a very special thanks for the instructions!

Ok, for me I have to type apktool.jar d framework-res.apk and then I edited \values\arrays.xml and when I type apktool.jar b framework-res it created a build/apk folder but it is empty... Any ideas? I was trying jovy's tethering mod. I also ran aptool.jar if framework-res.apk first and verified the user folder was created with a file called 1.apk. Probably a noob question and I apologize in advance.
I have also previously reinstalled JRE for both normal and x64 versions plus ensured they are added to my path environment. I also added a JAVA_HOME entry and added the path in the values to my JRE path. Hmmm....that's about it I guess for now.
Thanks

dude thanks so much.
i needed someone to hold my hand through this. ill try it once im off work.

when I use this tool on (Windows XP 32bit), I get "Build" folder, when it tries to Compile (and it can be empty, if it tried to compile and got interrupted, or possibly a error)
I usually delete these 2 folders (build + dist)... (if they are there) right before a Re-compile.
\build = project folder of Re-compiling.
\dist = project Newly created .apk (or .jar) file goes.
Working with APKTool is easy... but you learn the most by using a lot and testing it yourself. I try many different methods and recheck the file if did 1 way, then I try another way and see if any thing is changed by another method (lots of comparing and confidence builds this way) Something that is tuff to explain in Text and in Instructions, but eventually, you have confidence in file comparisons and makes sense then.
*** Sometimes I see different Text words, that seam like could be error (but to me Error text, is when the CMD box filles with much extra TEXT and you can tell it messed up... NOT just 1 text line of code)

Found my issue, my edit on the arrays.xml was bad, I kept forgetting to add a /> at the end of the edit. duh. Glad it didn't compile and I ended up with some crazy errors on my phone... Lesson learned.

[MOD][TUTORIAL] Customize NavigationBar height

Hello,
In this tutorial I´ll show you how to change the height of your NavBar.
This Tutorial works for any Rom!
Requirements
Text-Editor, e.g. Notepad++
WinRar/WinZip/Bandzip
Apktool (Download)
installed Java (Download)
JDK (Download)
root on your Nexus 4
a FileManager like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer
your framework-res.apk
some Cmd experience (just a little)
.. and some time/nerves
.. let´s go
Before getting started, make a Nandroid Backup (if you get Bootoop etc)!
The decompliling:
First you need to create a new folder like "C:\apktool". Download Apktool and extract the files to C:\apktool
copy your framework-res.apk to C:\apktool
open Cmd
navigate to your apktool (with "cd C:\apktool")
type in: java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk [enter] (...installation of your framework)
type in: java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk [enter]
finished!
Now you should have a new folder named framework-res. That´s your decompiled framework-res.apk.
The customizing of your NavBar height:
Navigate to /res/values
open dimens.xml in your Text-Editor
search the 3 lines which include navigation_bar_height, navigation_bar_height_landscape, und navigation_bar_width
type in your desired dpi number (for default it´s 48dpi)
CAUTION: At width, you should calculate the numeral proportion of the height to the width.
If you got that, save!
The (Re-)compiling:
Cmd (if you have not left it open, you must navigate again to C:\apktool
type in: java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res [enter]
The newly compiled framework-res.apk is located in C:\apktool\framework-res\dist
CAUTION: Copy the META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml from your old framework-res.apk to your newly compiled one! Otherwise you´ll get Bootloop.
Now copy your framework-res.apk with a file manager to /system/framework. After that reboot immediately!
Finished! Have fun with your smaller/higher NavBar.
If there are some question, ask in this thread, I´ll help you as good as possible. Please don´t write me PM´s with support requests.
The "small-print":
Neither XDA-Developers.com, nor me are responible for any damages on your device!

I'm pretty sure this is the same for changing your Navigation Bar white or any color you want?
But instead I think its the navbar.xml that you need to edit correct?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Right. But maybe it's in SysUI.apk, I don't know right now.

"CAUTION: At width, you should calculate the numeral proportion of the height to the width."
What's the scale? I set 36dpi both on height and landsape_hight, what's the width should I do? And I want the background of navigation to more smaller...

First of all, please delete fullquote Second: Proportion is like 48:42=36:x (x is width, just calculate). And third: Which background do you mean?

I created an AndroidApktool, which makes it easier to mod your files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326604
It helps you in this Tutorial much, too.

How do you move the old META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml into the new apk after it's already compiled?

With WinRar or 7zip etc.

I followed every step and I end up with same as paperecho, empty framework-res folder.

Do you get the same error as he?

Is it possible to set the alignment of the softkeys to the left side (especially for the Nexus 7/10)?
Thanks in advance

It's possible for sure, but I don't know how. Ive got no experience with tablets, sorry.

I'm also finished with empty folder framework-res..

Maybe you guys should download the newest apktool version and replace it with the one in my folder. I think this should solve your problem

Does anyone know what values they use to make the softkeys stay vertical when the phone is in landscape mode? I'm trying to do that with my tablets. Thanks

Works Great Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 Kitkat

In Android L, it didn't work in type in "java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk" & "java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk"...
