I've just checked decompiling / compiling the SystemUI.apk (from the XXLSJ) and everything works well, with just a "standalone" apktool (1.5.0.5), on Windows 7.
Have you installed the frameworks?
Installing frameworks:

apktool if XXLSJ\framework-res.apk

If you want to use APKMultiTool, then you either install frameworks first with running the apktool from command line, or install the frameworks by choosing the "decompile apk with dependencies" option. (But I recommend using the apktool if command)
You only need to install frameworks once. (They are stored in C:\Users\username\apktool\1.apk and 2.apk)
Search for Apk manager for ICS.
Don't remember where I founded but works!

I'm not home now but I remember this apk manager is made by Wanam...search in his HP mate! If you want when I arrive at home I can upload for you and send Google docs link.

I am currently working on creating a new rom for the Note 2 (XXDLL4 - 4.1.2) and I was trying to edit SecSettingsProvider.apk. While I could decompile it, apktool kept bringing up errors while compiling even when not even modifying the apk. On other system files it worked correctly so I'm wondering if there's a different process to use with this file ?
This is the error :

What's wrong?
Could someone help me?
Looks like a problem with apktool.yml. Is it located in the path the prompt is looking for it in?

I changed directory and used full path to targetfile and it worked. Thanks to your suggestion!
So I changed back to apktool folder and specified sourcepath now:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res framework-res_new.apk
W: Could not find sources
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Building apk file...
That worked now. Perfect!
Then I "signed" the apk by replacing/inserting "AndroidManifest.xml" and folder "META-INF" to "framework-res_new.apk".
I will do nandroid, replace (unchanged) file and report very soon.
Greetings
Glad it worked. Reading command prompts is like a native tongue once you get the hang of it.

Modified "framework-res.apk" worked. I only had to recreate Google account.
But modifying android.policy.odex resulted in bootloop.
I made following:
Deodex:
Code:
java -jar baksmali-1.4.2.jar -c core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:telephony-common.jar:mms-common.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar -x android.policy.odex
Made changes. (See attachment.)
Create dex:
Code:
dexopt-wrapper system/framework/android.policy.jar system/framework/patched_android.policy.odex $BOOTCLASSPATH
Restore signature:
Code:
busybox dd if=/system/framework/android.policy.odex of=/system/framework/patched_android.policy.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
Replaced android.policy.odex
Result: Bootloop
Any suggestions? I got no errors.
Greetings
I'm with my question in this thread at all right?
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?

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

Thanks dude!
"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?

Hello, I see. Maybe you should try this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755243
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
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
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
