Hello guys, i modded systemui for my z1 compact by myself and i replaced it with root explorer, i also deleted. Odex file but after reboot systemui didnt work, does anyone know how to change it and make it work, i was doing thst on xperia E and it worked, dont know why doesnt work here
Maybe you have old frameworks(from xperia e)installed?
I'm also having similar problems trying to modify Systemui.apk. I've tried it with apktool for android (ver. 4.1) and even without any modification, after recompile I have no nav bar or wallpaper. Maybe XperienceD could shed some light on this for us. Please?

Modding is best done with deodexed files so if you've just modded the odexed SystemUI then you should have left the odex file in place as that has resources the SUi needs to work, whereas deodexing essentially puts those resources into the apk.

99% of the time I edit manually for reasons explained in my Apk & Theming thread so you'll have to report any issues with an all in one tool to it's developer.

Thanks a lot.Now i need a lot of study to accomplise that!!!
you can easily change the png files in the framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk of any theme's zip.just take any theme as a base and change the pngs within opening the theme and then the apks by winrar or something like it.the pngs are stored in the drawable-hdpi and/or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders.
Whenever I try to change framework res, and replace the old edited frameworkres I get bootloops. After that I have to flash a stock rom with odin and then flash my cooked rom. Even if I push the original framework res.apk, that doesn't solve the problem. No issue with twframework res.apk. I can edit twframework res .APK and works fine.
Please help.
try using 7zip instead, its better at replacing files

reflashing a whole rom shouldn't be necessary
first of all, you should make a backup of your system, just in case
and you should always keep a working theme on your phone so that if you get stuck at boot, you just boot into CWM and flash the working one and everything should be fine again
and for your basic problem of editing themes, have a look at R64s guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10383323&postcount=577
explains all the basic stuff and works great for me
Hi everyone,
I'm using the deodexed 4.2.1 rom on My Galaxy Nexus with a custom SystemUI.apk that works (it doesn't make notification and navigation bar disappear) taken from this thread.
I successful replaced unwanted image files in the apk with 7zip and now I'm trying to change the clock color in the taskbar.
I do the following things, in order:
1. Decompile apk with apktools
2. Change values of color in the proper xmls
3. Recompile apk
4. Replace SystemUI with the new one
5. Clean Cache/Dalvik and reboot
After that notification and navigation bar disappear. Am i missing something?
Help please! D':

Hey mate!!!!!
You must sign apk with signapk everytime you make changes into an apk.
http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/ in dex2jar you will find d2j-apk-sign.sh/bat script
Seems that i told you bull**** coz systemUI never have to be signed...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848458
So, restoring old "stock" SystemUI.apk you get phone working well again?

Yes, I made a nandroid backp for safety.
...but I'm having issues installing the required java & android sdk files to my PC so I'm unsuccessful when trying to decompile the SystemUI.apk. Has anyone done that mod to a TW 4.1.2 ROM (Im on JMTJB v6 btw). If so think you could share the edited xml file(s) or the SystemUI apk? I also posted a link of my SystemUI.apk to see if anyone is willing to edit the needed xml files. Just name your price Thx ahead.
I can't be the only one wanting this mod, right? There has to be someone else who got it done on TW 4.1.2

Thank you...but as you see (and I stated on the o.p.) I have problems with my old-ass pc and I can't get the necessary files installed for me to decompile any apk. I have tried and tried but it just won't do it and I'm left unable to decompile crap. I know EXACTLY what I need to do but I CAN'T DECOMPILE the SystemUI.apk to do it. . That's the reason I'm asking if someone (that knows how to decompile, edit the status_bar.xml & tw_status_bar.xml, & compile again) could hook me up...and of course I'm willing to pay for their time.

My device is Xperia M C1904.
This tutorial helped me editing SystemUI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203166
Once you have edited the apk, copy the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the old (original) apk to the new generated apk, this is for preservating the signatures and avoid force closes.
Once you edit the apk, move it to your sdcard, and the do the following:
1.- Copy the apk to /system and THEN...
2.- Set permissions just like the pic attached
3.- Then move it to /system/app and overwrite the original
4.- Reboot
That's it.
I have used the SystemUI's from this video:

Hello XDA community,
Is there anyone here who could port the oos animations to aosp/caf based roms as a flashable framework mod or a substratum theme since substratum support custom animations. I would do it for myself but I dont know how.
I would even be happy if someone eventually has a explanation/guide how to do it then I can try it for myself.
Thanks
Best Regard CroW_D
The animations are located in res/anims within framework-res.apk
To extract them from OOS you need to grab framework-res.apk from OxygenOS (it's in system/framework). I haven't done any mods for a while now, but replacing the anim files inside the framework-res.apk of your rom with the ones from oxygen os should work. I'd do a backup before trying this. I used to be quite nitty so what I used to do was decompile both framework-res.apk with apktool, replace the anim files after decompiling, then recompile your framework-res.apk
If you have the framework-res.apk from your rom i don't mind doing a test zip for you to try

No systemui crashes for me. Just replaced the anim folder from oos with the current one you have on the custom ROM but make sure you have to redone this every time you flash an update of the custom rom. Meiby you picked always the old framework res apk. And replaced it can causes the issue.
Did this work. Can anyone share the file.
