Troubleshooting with de/recompiling of APK - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i tried to do the 3minit battery mod a couple days ago ..i managed to
1- decompile the systemui
2- applied the battery mod instruction
can't get to recompile the apk ... every time it gives an error
so wanna know how u do it .
i even just decomipled the systemui and recompiled it to make sure it's not something wrong with the edeting i did but same result ..
her's is the log of a simple decompile / recompile without any modification ...the log is cropped due to the cmd being like this and i can't resize it's window

FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT .....if anyone wants to know tell me ... otherwise i will request this thread to be deleted

[Guide] How to change the color of your notification bar / background

This is my first "guide" so bare over with me
In order to change your status bar color along with the Background color, do this:
First we need the framework-res.apk from the phone
- adb remount
- adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
Take a backup of this file in case you failed and wants to go back.
Rename your local framework-res.apk to: framework-res.apk.zip
Open the Zip file and go here:
/res/drawable/
Locate these files and unzip them:
statusbar_background.png
status_bar_background.png
status_bar_close_on.9.png
status_bar_header_background.9.png
status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png
These are the files you want.
I sugest that you use Photoshop to do what you want with the colors, if you are using Photoshop, be carefull editing status_bar_close_on.0.png, it might look weird if you are doing it wrong.
After your done editing these pictures go here:
/res/drawable_land/
Locate and unzip:
statusbar_background.png
Do the same here as you done with the first pictures.
After you are done editing the png's, save them in your zip file.
Rename framework-res.apk.zip to framework-res.apk.
- adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Now restart your phone, and your Notification bar has been fixed
I'm using Open Home along with HTC Hero skin and this just looks PERFECT!
This doesn't change the Text's on your Notification Screen, that you will have to find out for yourself, or post a solution here.
Can't wait to try that out I want mine to be changed..
Update:
For changing the color of the clock, take a look at this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535630
Solution will be there during the week.
It's already available for Rogers ROM's.

Yeah i have tried to push a heap of different G1 services.jar files over to my Magic (ion rom) but was in boot loop city for every one. Oshaka has said he will modify a sapphire services.jar for me... still waiting on that- will post my results as soon as he has it for me.....
TBH though, having a status bar background black with green behind the black clock is actually probably easier for me to read than the white one......will test it out when i get the correct services.jar
got green notifications but for some reason the services.jar doesn't change....
working on it... maybe oshaka can come up with a reason for me...
I cant seem to get the services.jar to change either. I have asked Oshaka to fix it for me, and he said he would do it like 3-4 days ago.
Waiting

services.jar will work on hofo rom or any rom without .odex files. The problem with hero and ion roms are that they dont have the classes.dex files within services.jar. I am assuming they are in the services.odex file, which so far i have been unable to open and read to find the correct smali files.
I have called it quits trying to figure it out for now...... until the colorchanger app includes support for this i am putting it in the too hard basket.
Let us know if ohsaka gets back to you. If we get this we can theme anything we want- i made a theme template for ion which worked......
***edit*** just got a reply from Ohsaka, he said there is no way he knows of to open .odex files to edit colour inside of them. that kind of means those of us running ION or hero are **** out of luck. Until someone starts modding the HTC build a bit more (kind of like how cyanogen mods the standard 1.5 and also pulls from donut etc) then we are stuck with what we have got
Hofo rom has some potential.... maybe we should all chip in and buy cyanogen a Magic (32A of course )?
Is it possible to edit the png's in the framework zip to a translucent opacity, and push the entire zip back in to make the notification bar have some transparency?
Edit: Nm, tried it and it is more complicated than I thought lol. Screenshots of a 50% status bar png to come
I have adb etc set up and willing to try ,would be my first action on editing my phone.
Does my phone need to be rooted/re-rommed for this to work ?
I own a original out of the box T-Mobile G1 , and I really would like to change the colouring of the notification bar to match the colour of my background picture, but not at the expense of giving up my warranty ( not yet ) , depends on future updates of G1 which is doubtfull at the moment I believe

Totally noob to this crazy world, what does the services.jar do?
What effects does it have? I'm trying to edit the notification bar/icons.
Am I limited to what can be done because of this "services.jar" ?
I keep getting "remount failed: Operation not permitted" when i try to remount
can you do this on the droid eris
should work on eris,just do a nandroid backup first just in case you need to roll back
I just wanted to let people know, i ran into a problem with force closing constantly.
Solution i came up with is if you have the custom OC kernel, you must edit the
pictures and stuff for your UI and then flash the kernel. If the kernel is already in place
it will conflict with the 'adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk'
And a data value will change, causing force closes.
~
So, is there any way I can grab the smileys aswell and change them? I want the SonyEricsson smileys instead of those android ones.
I also get force close (of the market app) after modifying images in a custom ROM, on a T-Mobile Pulse. jamsk8er1994, could you explain in more detail what you mean by "edit pictures and flash your kernel"?
The same goes for those of you who want to change the smileys that you see on your phone. If you're tired of those robots you go into
- framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi-v4
and find the files called "emo_im_"
There is 17 files, png's. open photoshop and make the smileys you'd like in a 20x20 canvas (pixels). save for web and devices -png 24, with the same name. In example: (The grinning smiley :-D) is emo_im_laughing.png
Then you drag the new png you've made into the apk file and choose replace existing.
Note: this is only for your viewing, others will not see the smileys you have on your phone unless they got the same on theirs. If they have the droid ones that is what they see when you send. But if they send you a droid smiley you see the custom one you've put in yourself.
i changed all the colors to black on PS. dragged them back into the zip file, renamed it to "framework-res.apk" and typed in the command in the cmd. I got a message saying "failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework/framework-res.apk' : No space left on device".
what do i do?
Awesome thingy, I'll make everything non-glossy.

[Q!]Bootloop after changing framework-res.apk

Ok, so i modded about 6 png's that are for the notification bar.
However, when i add them to my used framework-res (no problems at all) my phone get's stuck in a bootloop.
After a quick question in the ROM threat, brady1uk mentioned the file size.
so i checked them, and before i modded them they were a total of 43kb, but now they are 143kb!
Could this be the problem of my bootloop, and if yes, how do i reduce the file size?
*added the status_bar png's*
I don't think it's the file size. Let me ask, when you "add them to your used framework-res" how do you do it? Did you extract the .apk then re-archive?

I open the framework-res whit winrar, and i just drag and drop my custom files in there with out extracting it.
ok, so i replaced my new png's whit the old ones in the hope my phone would work again, but it didn't
Now i'm totaly clueless...
If someone could take a look at what i have combined and why it doesn't work it would love it (using lee droid 1.9A)

as all is failing i would suggest getting the original framework-res.apk - before u ever touched it (download leedroid rom again if you didnt back it up). And then use either APK Manager or Theme Pro to decompile the apk, then mod away and change everything you want then use APK Manager or Theme Pro to compile it back up. Thats how I do it. I think there is a chance using Winrar to just pull out the files and add them back in has currupted it somehow

ok, so i did this, but now when i flash the .zip i get a error [ E:Failure at line 9: run_program PACKAGE:check_data_app instalation aborted.]
Ok, so after failing to create my own apk file i pulled it from my desire and added the 6 files to it.
adb push, reboot.
And it gets stuck in a bootloop...
So ok, that failed, but i had the pulled framework still on my computer, so i decided to push this file back to make it work again.
But now it's still stuck in a bootloop....
seems like my adb corupts the .apk or what could be the problem?
You shouldnt need to decompile it if your only making a few changes to the framework.
I use 7-zip to open the rom, navigate to the required apk, and open that archive then swap the images over, no need to delete the original, they will just get over written. Then press up or back within 7-zip. when you navigate out of the apk you were in 7-zip will say it has been changed, carry on, pressing back untill you are all the way out of the rom. Then resign the rom and flash it.
Ive never used apk tool to change images in the htc resources or the framework res and never had a problem.

I pretty sure the framework in the zip you posted is not from Leedroid so theres your 1st problem. Unless you made more than just 6 png changes.

It could be that the base of the framework is from leedroid, but i added a theme to it (think it is NexTang-DJDroid).
used it for about a month w/o problems, then i changed 6 files in the framework. And nothing works anymore ._.
can you try flashing the stock leedroid fw-res.apk to see if you get out of the bootloop? if you can do that, then at least you have a fallback plan.
and instead of flashing it, try using:
Code:
adb mount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I have never had any problems doing it that way.
I had the same problems. But i tried to make a flashable zip file and this work very fine..
And remeber you can not just replace a 9.png file maybe this is your fault?

[Q] How to modify and replace framework-res.apk

Hello
I changed some png images with 7zip and copied back to system/framework/ but i got boot loop.
I would like to know how to modify and replace .apk that will work normal?
Thanks
How exactly did you replace the png's? Because the 'normal' proces of unzip-replace-rezip doesn't work.
The most easy way to changes png's:
1. Open framework-res.apk in 7-zip
2. Search for the files you want to change and copy them to your hard disk (do not unzip!!)
3. change the files. Make sure the name stays EXACT the same.
4. Open framework-res.apk and copy your new files in the desired place. By doing so, the original files will be replaced by your files. DO NOT USE ANY COMPRESSION (if asked select 'store').
5. Go into recovery, mount /system and replace the framework-res.apk by the new one. Reboot phone.
Take home message: never unzip
Hope it works now!
Erwin
i went to recovery and hit mount/system. But how can i replace it?
Thanks

You have to use adb to do is. I assume you know how to work with it. If not, you have to search for a little tutorial (can't link you right now because I'm using the xda app)
Put the new framework-res.apk in the same folder as adb.exe. Open the command prompt and brows to that same folder. Type in your command prompt:
Code:
adb shell mv system/framework/framework-res.apk system/framework/framework-res.old
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework
adb reboot
Due to the first command, you have a backup of your original framework-res.apk. To restore it, you have to boot in recovery, mount /system and again by the use of the command prompt, type:
Code:
adb shell rm system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell mv system/framework/framework-res.old system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
Erwin
Yeeeeey i did it
Thank you
One more problem
When discharging it's working, but when I charge phone i don't get no battery icon. I believe it's because in original framework i had 100 png animations for charging and now i have only 20. Is there a way to fix this?

Then it is going to be much more complicated than that. Perhaps I can explain you in more detail tomorrow, but you will have to look up some things for yourself.
First, you should decompile the framework-res.apk first using apktool. You will notice that it almost looks like it just dezips your apk, but when you look closely, you will see now that you can open and read the xml files.
Second, you have to open res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml (or something similar, perhaps it depends on your ROM). Try to understand what is written and make some changes (it is really not that hard) so that your system shows only 20 different images, in stead of 100.
Third, you have to recompile your modified framework-res.apk. Then pull stat_sys_battery.xml out of "your" framework-res.apk into the original framework-res.apk, but again, without unzipping one of them. Do, of course, the same thing with your images.
I must admit, I've been busy with the battery icons myself. It was my plan to do something similar like you did, but I didn't do it yet. So all the things I've written above where the things I was planing to do, but I don't know if it will work, as I never tried it myself. So please, keep me/us informed ;-)
Good luck!
EDIT: I used this site to know how to decompile apk's.
This is an old thread but I wanted to edit my systemUI.apk file with changing out a couple images... if I was to upload the file I edited (by just swapping out the images) to the UOT kitchen and use a mod, say the battery mod, would it make the file usable on my phone or would I get a bootloop or worse?
Basically what I did was opened up the SystemUI.apk file using 7zip and just swapped out the images I wanted (making sure I saved the original ones of course). I didn't unzip/zip anything.. I just opened it using 7zip and then closed it. It didn't ask me if I wanted to save anything though??
Sorry for the stupid question... but I thought it would be an idea as I want to use the UOT to make a mod to the theme I have anyways.

I don't know if I understand you fully, but I believe it would: only if the UOT changed the images that you have changed, you will not see the things you have changed.
What I did some time ago was upload my framework en systemui to the UOT, apply the battery mod and than change the battery images with my own. I did that just by opening the apk in WinRAR and adding my images, just like you did.
But if you only want to swapp some images, there is no need for uploading it to the UTO. Just continue as you did. Just make sure that you keep the original systemui.apk on your hdd. In case of a bootloop, you can easely revert.
Is that een answer to your question?
Erwin
Yes, it does.. and thanks. I ended up following the instructions on another thread I found on here... don't remember exactly which one but it basically omitted uploading the files to the UOT. It was a guide on how to theme your phone... sorry but I didn't save the link.
thanks again!

I always work with Winrar, and in there you have the option for compression, which is selected at "medium compression" by default, and that causes bootloops.
So make sure that you don't compress your apk when adding your new png, or it will not work.

I change my framework-res.apk from another rom. the problem is when I push long power button, my device going to BOOTANIMATION with out I choose shutdown, restart n etc.. what's wrong with my device??
sorry for my bad eng..
The problem is its another roms framework so things are in different places and some things will be missing, put the framework-res.apk from your rom back and things should go back to normal, mind me asking what tweak or mod you are after using?

Editing stock SystemUI.apk

I have been trying to edit the systemUI.apk I have got as far as adb pushing the edited apk but after reboot and all the wipes it just stops the status bar from ever loading. I have tried the apktool apkmanager and droid explorer. I' think im doing the decompiling and compiling correct. I just cant seem to find what im doing wrong. Can this apk be edited? I just cant seem to find whats causing a issue or whats missing.
PLease HELP!!!!

What ROM are you using? If you can compare the mods by steelh on stock roms should give you an idea if the edit was bad. I know this might not be the answer you are looking for, but that's the best I could come up with without looking at your edits.
Lets say i decompile it with apktool, make no edits, recompile and then still it will not load
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------
when the apk is decompiled the smali files are from the classes.dex file right?
so if i compile the apk and then change to a zip and take the new edited dex file out and put it in the original apk over the dex file it should be a adb push then clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot and if it takes the edits it will work?
i have tried that and it just gets a force close on status bar and then never loads or gives anymore messages. just no status bar at all.
my edits im sure are right, but even if they were the problem if i make no edits and try to decompile and recompile, still no worky..... its sad really, once i get this done i will be complete with my phone and we can have babys....... come on some one help me i need phone babies!!!
---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------
the rom is 2.3.3 4.24.651.1 cl61076 release-keys its the stock sprint rom from rom manager that was rooted zipaligned blah blah.......
What version of apkmanager r u using. In some versions the apktool is messed up
free the dirk
no resolution?
I pulled my systemui.apk, decompiled it, edited to show 1x vs 3g, compiled it, repackaged it, and pushed it and now my notification its gone.
I also need to know where i made the mistake
I just did that this morning. Just the alarm hiding for me. I use apk manager 4.9. I noticed that I got an error sometimes when I decompile, so I use option 10 to decompile with the framework-res as a dependency. The other difference is I put it in a zipped theme instead of adb pushing, but I don't think that would make a difference. Finally, I have been slowly making mods over a few weeks, so I am not sure if I started with a stock SystemUI or someone elses.
When you decode systemui you need com.htc.resources.apk for the additional resources. You won't need framework-res as apktool has those resources built in (for decoding systemui).
From all your posts I see you're missing one crucial step....you need to transfer the signature. With system/apps you don't resign, but rather transfer the signature. In 7zip or betterzip, open the original apk. Take out the directory called META-INF. That is the Sig. Place that in your new recompiled apk. Then push.
And when pushing apks that deal with the basic framework, here is what you need to do.
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb sync (optional)
adb shell start
Technically SystemUI is system/app not a framework file....but it controls things related to the framework (ie the statusbar).

Here's a guide explaining how to make 1% battery mods. You can then use your own SystemUI.apk and not screw stuff up. You'll need apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk. You can get one that works for ICS here. Extract it, double click on command prompt, put your framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk in the directory and perform the following commands:
-apktool if framework-res.apk
-apktool d SystemUI.apk
follow directions from do-it-yourself link above
-apktool b SystemUI SystemUIbattmod.apk
That will create SystemUIbattmod.apk. Rename it to SystemUI.apk and place in /system/app either using adb while in recovery or putting your SystemUI.apk into one of the other flashable .zips you have been using. Good luck and post if you have any problems (this is all assuming you're using a PC with windows on it).

-apktool b SystemUI SystemUIbattmod.apk
That will create SystemUIbattmod.apk. Rename it to SystemUI.apk and place in /system/app either using adb while in recovery or putting your SystemUI.apk into one of the other flashable .zips you have been using. Good luck and post if you have any problems (this is all assuming you're using a PC with windows on it).

You don't need auto apktool. The apktool I linked in my previous post is all you need. They'll both do the same thing.

Whoa...you just made my day. Been at it for 2 weeks to mod battery icons and it turned out I didn't have a correct version of the APK tool. The one in your post works like a charm. Thank you very much
Oh something not mentioned in the posts above, if you have trouble decompiling remove the classes.dex from apk. After edit/recompile put it back (thank you he_stheone64)
