[SOLVED]Can't edit SystemUI.apk on galaxy A5 lollipop - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hey guys, so i really hate touchwiz and there's no ROM for A5 so i just wanted to edit some things in SystemUI.apk (i did this editing before and i was successful) but after upgrading to lollipop everytime i change every single thing in the apk after rebooting i get "unfortunately SystemUI has stopped" and the only thing i can do is to delete it from system and replace it with the stock one and reboot.

[SOLVED]i used different resolusion

Resolusltion not solution! And I did it as I messaged you. Changing resolution of the files, put them in the right folder (A5 was xhdpi) And compress them to apk again And put it in the system And finally reboot

[MOD][XPERIA 2012][ICS]InfiniteView mod

Found this mod in the SXS forum.
Modded InfiniteView.apk that allows for full screen contact image in contacts and full (top half) image in dialer.
In contacts infinite view the square image tends to get stretched, but in dialer it shows up correctly.
It's actually pretty nice. This modded app from the S is smaller than our stock version so I'm not sure of the differences in base functions but it seems like everything is there.
The mod is packaged as an install bat for the S. I extracted the apk and installed manually.
Always backup before overwriting. Use at your own risk.

Root needed?
Yes, since it's replacing a system app.
Cool, I was disappointed coming from the Vivid which had full image icon. Thanks for the find. It's amazing how much I learned about android system with all the mods cuz not a lot of devs for our device.

Back up your old InfiniteView.
Copy the modded InfiniteView to /system.
Change permissions to rw- r-- r--
Copy/move the modded InfiniteView to /system/apps (this will overwrite your original)
Reboot.

Using your explorer, randomly pick any app and see its permission. Make the permission of the modded InfiniteView app similar to that app.

Thanks for the app

stock kk 4.4.2 Dialer with google dialer icon

paste this apk in /system and set permissions rw-r-r with root explorer or similar then cut and paste in priv-app/ replacing-it or flash in recovery
Thanks for the apk! One request, can you give us your launcher, please?
Works good. Always loved that icon.
Works?
I downloaded the flashable zip, and it seemed to install correctly. The original phone app has been replaced, and the icon has changed. So, I assume it has installed.
Does the business search work however? It may be my phone or location, but typing in pizza hut or the local bank comes up with nothing...
Thanks anyway, because at least I get the nice blue flat icon

No it's only the icon from Google dialer the rest is moto g stock dialer
Thanks mate! Saved me the trouble of decompiling and recompiling. :highfive:
Simply by using Nova Launcher you can have that icon aswell and I suspect other launchers might do the job too.
Nice! Can you change the icon for the Contact (People) to be more rounded like others apps on hotseat?

4.4.4?
Any chance of a version for 4.4.4? Presume this one is incompatible, reluctant to try it as I know the dialers are slightly different in the two builds. Thanks in advance!

Hi im new to this stuff. I get the first part but could u explain 'cut and paste in priv-app/ replacing-it or flash in recovery'. And do i have to unzip both of them before placing?
If you directly replace that apk in system/priv- app/ with default permissions will get you s system force close pop-up, so first paste in /system, change permissions and move in system/priv-app replacing the existing one

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:

Oos animations port request

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.
