i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

If you've read my guide, you would know that you'll have to add resources.arsc from new app to old app and then push old app to your phone

o my god my settings.apk is gone reuploading demet
Hi guys !
I'm having a problem recompiling the systemui.apk, i'm modding some .xml files and everything goes fine, it recompiles ok but when i push it to my phone there's no change i decompile the modified apk and the xml files aren't change either it's like i didn't change anything from them.
Every single time a recompile an apk it goes back to normal
Does anyone else has that problem or is just me , and does someone knows how can i fix that problem?
INFO :
Windows 8 pro
Using : Apktool , Auto apktool and tickle my android (in all of them i get that same problem)
Thanks in advance, regards

Already read it and that's what i've been doing, and like i said the changes aren't saved. Every time i delete o put some codes in the xml file with notepad++ i save them but after i recompile the apk i decompile it again to check if everything's alright but the files look like the original ones.

Yep, the recompile goes ok. I wanna change the toggle icons and wanna move the icons in the status bar.
And actually ticklefish already help me with that and when i push it nothing happen either, so i don't think it's a prob with win8 cuz before i didn't had that problem, it started this week
The systemUi is from honami i1 rom from aneel, i already install the framework from the rom.

Yes, I got that error when I try to pack Setting.apk. It's because MIUI apk use some directory notation that not standard to apktool.
Ex. values-hugeui
I solve this by changing values-hugeui to values-xxhdpi (or maybe values-xhdpi, don't know that hugeui means exactly). If values-xxhdpi exists, you can try to merge all files and config in it.

May I correct my wrong answer, MIUI use its own apktool & aapt. So to rebuild MIUI apk you should add ~/path/to//miui/tools to your $PATH environment and it should be at the start of $PATH to override other apktool & aapt.
I previously had a Galaxy Tab that Ive used for 3 years with Android 2.3 that I customized almost everything, mainly on the framework-res.apk and system.apk.
On the Mega 6.3 running stock Android 4.2.2 I am trying to change the background color of the top Notification bar from the greyish tone it has now to just pure black but I cannot find the resource.. should be a PNG somewhere.. I thought to be on framework-res.apk but I dont seem to identify it.
Does anyone know which file it is or how to change the background color of the top Notification bar?
Thanks a lot in advance

First of all zeyadhan thank you very much!!!
It looks beautiful. Perfect!! Question, now I have a sticky ANDROID IS UPDATING.. Starting Apps pop-up every time I reboot the system just before the reboot is complete and the home screen comes up. Do you know why? Any way to get rid of it? No harm done, is just annoying and delays slightly the boot-up time..
Can you tell me what you modified on the APK so maybe I can try it do it myself later on a future OS upgrade?
Thanks again

Hello XDA brothers.
I am running Android APK MULTI TOOL for recompiling and decompiling an APK. When I decompile it, it goes smoothly. But when I attempt recompiling, it gives A LOT of errors stating at the end "... is not defined". This is not an after-mod error because I tried recompiling it right after decompiling, without even opening the decompiled folder. It still gives the same error. Kind of frustrating. So, can anyone help?¿
