Can anyone edit a framework-res.apk with no mods other than adding the crt animation? I've found guides on how to edit the bools file in the res/values filder inside the apk, but I can't get it to recompile the apk correctly. Can someone tell me how or send me an edited apk or something?
If you want to post your framework file, I'll do it for you and send it back.
I just posted several of these for Caulkulin's 3.0 rom. What are you using now? His framework, but with a stock battery look.

You need to check the error and see whats wrong with the framework file. Also you just want a stock framework file with crt on? Also what are you using to compile and decompile

I was using apk manager 4.9, and I have no idea how to read the log.
I attached my framework-res. It's stock from FD19, I probably should have specified.
If no one gets to it, I'll mod it when I get home.

All done. I tested on my phone. After I replaced the apk, I had to manually restart the phone for it to work. I placed your apk in a zip file before I uploaded, so make sure you unzip your apk before putting it back on your phone.
Thank you so much, it works very well.
Now I'd just like to know how you did it. Coming from a clean computer with nothing installed, what would I need to decompile an apk, edit it, and compile it again? I'm trying to get a handle on the whole thing to do some development myself.
Try and upgrade to Apk Manager 5.02 since I just de-compiled and then compiled your apk file without an issue. Also try and update everything associated with it like your java... But it seems quite fine to me
Edit: just tried yours again as well as removing animation I lowered autobrightness which is something I do on all my roms for better battery life.. Try that mod next

Do I have to do anything to set it up or is it good to go from install? Should I restart my computer?
Also where can I find 5.02? I had a lot of trouble finding 4.9 in the first place.
I've never used apk manager, so I'll check that out also. I used apktool to mod your framework along with all the java runtime files it needed to work.

Apktool confused me so I used apk manager. I can't figure out how to get apktool to work. Do you have a link to a good guide or anything?
There are some good ones on xda. I'll link you one when I get home.

I was apparently using the gingerbread method for an ICS build. Would that have kept it from compiling correctly?

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM
Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.

NOW WITH IMPROVED BATTERY PERCENTAGE CIRCLE
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH REPLACING THE SystemUI.apk PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION.
NOTE: This is only to be used with Nexus 4 running STOCK Android 4.3 build JWR66V. Using it on a different ROM or a build may cause issues and I’m not responsible for any problem or damage caused to your phone.
PLEASE DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING.
YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED.
How To Install :
First backup the SystemUI.apk in ‘../system/app’ (If you do not like the MOD you can revert back to stock by replacing the original apk back)
Download and replace the moded SystemUI.apk with the stock one in ‘../system/app’. ( You can use a file explorer like Root Explorer or Solid Explorer to replace the file.)
Make sure the permissions are 644 after replacing. ( Owner - Read,Write / Group - Read / Others - Read )
Reboot and enjoy the MOD
I have attached the stock version of SystemUI.apk for 4.3 build JWR66V with out the Battery Percentage MOD in case anyone want to go back to stock.
MOD will work on Galaxy Nexus?

@Th3RiddL3r Here is the MODDED SytemUI.apk you have requested for JSS15J OpenMaster Branch. I could not test this so take a BACKUP of your original SystemUI.apk before replacing this in case this does not work. Replace and let me know if its working or not.

Hi,
I have installed this stock rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384877
I tried replacing the provided SystemUI.apk for this post, but when I replace this I have no soft-keys anymore as well as the display is stretched to the top.
I replaced my self backuped 4.3 SystemUI.apk file back and it was wroking again, but of course no percentage in the notification bar.
Do I need to check any other file? The permission were correct to 664.
Thanks a lot
Max
Thanks, works perfect on rooted JWR66V.
Any chance you could also edit a 32DPI nav bar in the SystemUI.apk?

This happens because even it says stock its not actually the stock 4.3 ROM Google provide. It is based on stock ROM. Because of this the SystemUI.apk in your ROM is different. So the apk I have provided will not work. Provide me with your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk(in system/framework) then i will compile an apk compatible to your rom.
Cheers.

Thanks for your compliments. I will try but I cannot guarantee you on 32DPI nav bar as I am busy with my office work. If i do I will share it with you all.
The only reason I have created this MOD is because I didn't like the battery icons in currently available battery percentage mods by others. So I have created my own set of battery percentage icons that matches my taste to use in my Nexus. Then I thought of sharing this in case if there is any one who have a similar taste to mine
Cheers.
works great - thank you

Hi,
in the meantime I have switched to the CM10.1 release.
But thanks for you fast response and offer.
Works great,thanks!!
Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!
Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.
somebody can help please?

I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>

The xml file after the change:

<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:
