Hey guys.
I tried my hand at some modding last night and was able to de/recompile with no problems and get the mods to work, but I noticed this morning that my Recent Apps menu isn't showing anything.
The things that I edited were Rosie.apk and SystemUI.apk.
I followed some of the mods in the Dev section, and didn't do anything that other than what was told to do.
I attached a screenshot. If anyone could help that'd be great!
same problem here buy I havent done anything but flash a ROM (OMJ's) flash the hotspot hack, and mod for the battery gauge.
OK, I have traced it down to the 1x/3x mod on the systemUI file, but I don't understand why it's doing what its doing.
Do you have to include the AndroidManifest.xml file when you copy everything from apktool into the Modded apk?
I'm also including the classes.dex and resources.arsc from the build/apk.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
no clue but over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681063) it talks about the same issue. This is also where I got the mod that I flashed. He is working on a fix from the sounds of it
From looking at it, his mods include the 1x/3x, which would leave me to believe that this mod is either not being implemented properly, or it doesn't work.
I checked the 1x/3x Mod forum, but the OP closed it down right after he posted it...

Sorry if I missed the answer I'm looking for but I did search first, I tried editing a few .png files and after pushing the framework-res.apk back everything on my phone went into a force close loop, I tried pushing the original back and it did the same thing, any help?
I tried editing a PNG file the in call screen pic and pushed it to phone and same thing happened to me,no idea why
After you edit framework-res it must be signed you cannot simply flash it, first you must edit the images you choose, make sure the names stay the same, make it an apk, sign the apk, the reload in the rom by pushing it.

Pm if you need help
How do you go bouts signing it
I've never had to resign that one after making any changes. Just a reboot would suffice.
Edit: Maybe try using Metamorph to make your changes. That's what I did recently on that particular apk without a problem. I mistakenly thought I pulled/pushed that one, but maybe I didn't.

heres a good instruction for theming and a singningzip for your sdk tools folder... http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/56-mods-blackbar-etc-50x/page__st__20__p__3320#entry3320
Im trying to teach myself here and actually reading unlike others at times, but What my GOAL: is to remove the GPS icon in my ROM when it is not active. I may be wrong so please correct me if I am...
I started with "APKtool" to decompile my "systemUI.apk" I then edited "HtcCdmaStatusBar.smali" located in "com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy"
I ran into a problem with compiling it back together with errors (after trying for hours to find my mistake) I moved on to...
"APK-Manager"
Again following instructions I decompiled "systemUI.apk" using "com.htc.resources.apk" as well since its a system file..
It seems to have worked, it said to delete whatever I modified in the "keep" folder well the ".smali" files don't appear only XML and system images but I went ahead and tried to take that "SystemUI.apk" that I recompiled with the edited files and dropped it in my phone via root manager
(well yea that didnt seem to work)
I moved on to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549309
I used it as a reference to edit the files I wanted to and not the the ones that were on the guide. well I had no errors and I and did everthing correctly, as i thought and the finally step I pushed the "SystemUI.apk" via adb and then rebooted
That resulted in a force close on my "status bar" i believe it said when I booted it up, after i cleared the force close my phone worked fine except the fact I had NO TASKBAR what so ever...
I am running "Showdown 1.0'

Moving to Q&A
Where did the thread go? Dont see it in Q &A forum??? Having the same problem
I was JUST having a very similar issue.. I was trying to decompile and recompile rosie but it kept giving me errors. Someone said try apkmanager 4.9 (I was using 5) and my problems went away. Also I noticed if you are using a file that has already been modified apkmanager didnt seem to like that. I had to take a stock one, make the xml changes, build it then replace whatever images I had replaced in the original
and now I cant get the ***** to build right. I'm not trying to mod it so the pull down notification bar is semi-transparent but it wont build correctly
pastebin of my apkmanager log file http://pastebin.com/uZ8JacJL
So i have decompiled/edited/recompiled system apk's before with no issue. I usually copy the oringinal META folder and androidmanifest.xml to the new apk..
To invert settings as well as some other apps (im starting with settings first) some edits to androidmanifest.xml were made. So obviously bringing the old one to the new apk isnt going to work. I have tried many solutions that were hinted @ in various threads and forums to no avail.
Best i can figure is i will need to resign all system apps to a new key? Before i go about doing all that i would like to confirm i am on the right track as i have yet to find a thread where someone solved their issue doing this. Also in my mind this doesnt make sense as i see lots of downloads for inverted system apps floating around.. how would they work if they were resigned with different keys?
Is there no resign solution for edits to androidmanifest.xml, and if not why are there so many threads where people are showing what and where to make edits for various mods?
Please only answer if you know the answer and can provide steps that can be reproduced to make it happen.
As a side note to mods... most of these sorts of questions i found in my search were moved to the theme sections. I find the policy strange that these sorts of dev/hacking questions cant be asked in the dev/hacking forums where they would likely be answered by any number of dev's that fequent those areas...
Ends up resigning all the stock apps in /system was the solution. Signed with the test key using batch mode in apk_manager.
Hello,
I'm just kind of playing around and I would like to modify the "intensity" of some of the haptic feedback. I found the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796789
I guess my question is, will this process work the same for ICS? I see the same entries mentioned and presume they will have the same affect. I'm still a doing a little research to understand creating an APK I can then flash to replace my current framework-res.apk. Thanks to any help or explanation someone can provide.
Yes its the same process and in the same location.

I have a question if anyone can answer this. I am using apktool, following the following link for information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753659
I have installed all the additional "framework" files (blur-res.apk, moto-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and then framework-res.apk) via apktoolif. I can decompile framework-res.apk without issues, and for fun I simply recompiled it (no changes). The odd part is the resources.arsc is noticeably smaller in the "new" one I created (and this is extracted from the archive so no compression). Is that normal, or is there something I'm missing.
I know I should just take the plunge replace /system/framework/framework-res.apk with mine and see what happens, it just seems to me that my newly compiled resources.arsc should be exactly the same size shouldn't it? Or am I missing something?
Well I went ahead and loaded my new framedwork-res.apk, and it worked fine. So I guess all my worrying was for nothing, at least so far.
Ya its normal for it to shrink.

Thanks
thanks for the info bro! im modifying framework-res.apk for my project using apk-multi-tool.
Hi everyone
I'm having a little problem here. From months, I edited and compiled some SystemUI APKs and those APKs were fully working, but now I'm trying to use those old APKs and they are not working!! As usual, I've put the SystemUI.apk in /system/app, I've given the right permissions (RW-R-R) and rebooted the phone. The status bar has vanished!!! The strange thing is that those APKs were working before.
The APKs were not signed before, but they were working without signing them.
Okay. Can anybody help me?
People, I'm here! Kindly, can anyone help me?!
