Whenever I decompile my android.policy.jar with apktool all I get is a folder called android.policy.jar.out with the file apktool.yml in it. Whenever I decompile any other jar or apk it decompiles all the xmls and resources just fine. I got my android.policy.jar from the /system/framework/ directory. The jar was only 303 bytes so maybe I am missing the files or something. Anyone have any clue why this is happening?
If it helps, I did the if framework-res.apk command and it mounted it just fine and I can decompile other jars and apks just fine. I am on sgs-i747 4.1.2 TW stock.
Thanks

Can I just use apktool to decompile it like "apktool d classes.dex classes" in the command prompt?
After I make modifications how would I pack it back into a jar? Would I recompile the classes folder and then insert this into the original jar or what? Thank you for the help
After its recompiled open the android.policy with 7zip and add the new classes.dex to it, it will overwrite the old one

I have checked the archive in the android.policy.jar with 7zip and the only thing in it was a folder named META-INF filled with a MANIFEST.ML file no classes.dex
EDIT: this may help, but all my jar files in the /system/framework folder are 313bytes exactly. Is this normal or a sign of something wrong

hi @evil1art -- how to recompile android.policy jar ...tks

like the title sort of say's, i would love a transparent notification menu.
However, when i make the png for the background transparent, it just turns black. *see attachment*
is there any way to make it transparent or is it a no-go?
You have to change a line of code in services.jar
Decompile it using baksmali
Then in the folder services open up com/android/server/status/StatusBarService.smali
Then use find to find 'const/4 v5, 0x2'
And simply replace with 'const/4 v5, -0x3'
Then compile with smali

If your using Linux or Mac, I suggest using ThemePro to make this easier

m8 we need an explanation on how to use these things, theres not much of an explanation in theme pro either. if you could kindly provide a step by step guide to get a transparent notification status background it would be much appreciate.

Thanks for the link mate. will def try it out!
p.s. i think translucency depends on the png file you put in the framework.
This is only for 2.2 roms .
Could you make one for 2.1 modaco?
Thanks!!
Where do I push the jar file to, to have this on my droid?
edit: can I just flash the zip using recovery?
sorry, I am unsure.

you can extract the service.jar and the background png from customized 2.1 roms such as pays's bravesoul or Amer's v4 and push them to your device. hvn't tried it out but should work=)

It's not really hard to do it on your own:
First download smali.jar and baksmali.jar from here http://code.google.com/p/smali/
Open the services.jar file for example with winzip, 7z, winRar, or whatever.
Unzip the classes.dex file to your sdk/tools/ folder and place the baksmali and smali file there too. After that open a new commandbox an run following line:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o out/ classes.dex
You'll have a new folder now called "out". Browse to "out/com/android/server/status" and open the file called StatusBarService.smali with a text editor like notepad.
Search for ".line 1773" and you'll find also "const/4 v5, 0x2"
Just change this to "const/4 v5, -0x3" and save the file.
Open again a new commandbox and run this:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out/ -o edited-classes.dex
Now you'll have a new dex file called "edited-classes.dex".
Delete the old file an rename the new in "classes.dex".
Open again the services.jar file with any zip tool and overwrite the classes.dex file with the one just created.
Now search the status_bar_background.png file in the framework-res.apk and make it transparent.
You're done!
THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON DEODEXED ROMS!
Otherwise you won't find a classes.dex file in the services.jar!
You'd have to deodex all files before!

Right, I'll be the token slow chap. I followed you right up to where you say "Open the services.jar file for example with winzip". Where do we find this file?
Open your ROM with a zip file manager, browse to /system/framework/ and there you'll find the services.jar file!
If you want to edit the file from the rom you are using, type this in a commandbox:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar
Don't forget to make a backup of the file or a nandroid backup!
Thanks for that - found services.jar. However when I do a search on StatusBarService. smali I can't find a .line 1773 (or the string 1773 at all come to that). I'm using OpenDesire. There are lots of other files called things like StatusBarService$1.smali and similar.

Hey, if you upload the android.policy.jar (found in /system/framework) from the XXLEF ROM I can do this for you. If it's not deodexed I'll also need the android.policy.odex.

Hey,
Good work getting the file editted. :good:
After you made the changes to the smali code, you need to compile it into a classes.dex file:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
(Where out is the name of the folder with the smali code in)
Now drag that classes.dex file into the original android.policy.jar (keep a backup of the android.policy.jar somewhere else).

The problem is with the signing. (The framework-res.apk has to be signed with the platform key)
Try to sign the apk (use apkmultitool), but I think it won't work, because you wont have the platform key.
I suggest you to do the following:
If you use apktool or apk-multi-tool apkmultitool.com:
1) if you want to change drawables, just push the new png-s into the original framework-res.apk (open the original framework-res.apk with 7zip, and drag and drop the new png in the corresponding drawable folder).
2) if you want to change xml-s, decompile framework-res.apk, change xml-s, recompile framework-res.apk, then extract the "resources.arsc" from the new apk, and push it to the original framework-res.apk (again with 7zip or any compatible file manager)
3) if you change some smali code, then you need to the same as in step 2, but with the classes.dex file.
Basically you should use the original framework-res.apk as a starting point, and (without extracting it) push all your mods into it!
OR try the UOT kitchen: http://uot.dakra.lt/
Cheers!

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

You do not need to deodex your entire rom. Only deodexing the android policy.jar file will suffice. Decompiling a jar file is slightly different from decompiling an apk. We do not use apktool to decompile jar files but execute these two commands - (First extract classes.dex from anroid policy.jar using winrar and place it in the same folder as smali.jar and baksmali.jar)
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
Make any changes that you want to do now.
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
Then rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex and put it back into the jar file.

Is there a guide how to return to odex? My rom is odex. I now have my mod android.policy.jar
AFAIK, when you deodex a framework file, all the rest needs to be deodexed also, something that doesn't exist with apps files...

I am sorry, I confused framework files with apks coz I have myself tried using a deodexed apk on a fully odexed rom and it worked. You are right, using a partially deodexed framework causes bootloops.
