The latest firmware update from Sony on the ICS Xperia 2012 brought improvements except one unpleasant moment: bootlup after editing framework-res.apk
This method only works. It told me the user with 4pda.ru sk0t. And for that, he thanks a lot.
So, the tutorial will be small. I use ApkTools150.
1. Decompiled framework as usual, using files from your firmware.
2. Make the necessary changes.
3. Now go to the folder with the decompiled framework and open the file in a text editor apktool.iml
4. Remove these lines and save.
Code:
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2
5. Go to framework-res\res\values\ and open styles.xml. Locate and delete the highlighted in red in the two lines:
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg_bright</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Compile you framework-res.apk
After installing the framework you will experience the background application will no longer be subject to change depending on the theme. I have the problem solved by adding transparency: [Sola\Go\U?\P?] Reboot&Transparent mode [Test] But this compromise.
If someone has a different way, without errors, please let me know )
Do not say thanks, press thanks:angel:
If i do not want the transperency effect will it still work? I am fine with not being able to change the background.

Transparency is not an end, and correction of errors. If left as it is your background in applications is static, background image is stored in the framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi\semc_bg.png and semc_bg_bright.png.
I repeat, this is a compromise.
Thank u this will definitely help!

From SemcGenericUxpRes.apk extract the two pngs and copy it to drawables.hdpi of framework-res.apk. Now compile the framework-res.
It should solve the problem.

When I bring the applications to foreground after applying theme, the theme elements are applied to it too.
So Yes!
Good work mate.

It will not work.
1. If you do not delete the line about "com.sonyericsson.uxp" framework that will not compile \ work.
2. If they delete and copy two pictures of SemcGenericUxpRes.apk-then the background will be static, it will not change when you change themes. The background is taken from the framework, of those pictures, which we copied. Choosing a theme is not working 100%.

Can you be more specific as to what did not work on the theme. May be I am missing something here. For me it seems to be Ok. May be I am not seeing what you see.

Ok i thought i'll do a little more,i moved the two pngs with an additional "_uxp" tag to their name and followed the changes in the file as per post,
Also i declared the 2png files in public.xml
Now next thing in my mind would be decompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Changing the drawable smali which finds this variable and declare it as part of framework-res.apk
now the question is what is the framework-res.apk file according to system?
Any solution to keep theme background?
Now this is an interesting workaround. Very clever.
However..
With Sony's ICS roms, you need to install SemcGenericUxpRes.apk with apktool before you decompile framework-res.apk. This will give the program all the resources it needs to fully decompile the apk.
Otherwise you will have a partially decompiled apk that will always give you a bootloop unless you do something like the op.
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk...give it a try!

I made a theme for Arconium ics. I enjoy the rom but i never liked the stock statusbar, So i decided to make one for other people to enjoy.
Credits are doomed151 for making the rom,krabappel2548 for the statusbar icons i got from his rom.
I made a new version with quickpannel settings because v2 had some problems and i wasnt able to theme that one. This new one i honestly cant find it on xda anymore. I wish to give credit to the creator but i am unable to give credit where is due. When i find the creator i will put his name and a link for him.
-Directions-
Download whatever version you want.
Transfer the version you want to your phone.
Use root explorer or similar to move the version to System
Set the permisions so its Rw/R/R
Some of the files might be named like v3SystemUI.apk or v3SystemUI.apk.zip
Rename the file so its SystemUI.apk and move it to the apps folder and replace the previous one.
Reboot phone and done

If you can add a battery percentage it would be the perfect Statusbar.
Nice Work

I just tried to install the SystemUIV2.apk and it said: app not installed. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Arconium ICS 2.2. The settings apk installed no problems.

You have to use a file manager app to move or copy and paste the files to the correct folder but you must have root access.
I used the free version of Root Browser to copy the files from my download folder on my sd card then went to the root of my phone and looked for a folder that is named System. After going into that folder there's another one named app that's where you paste them in but you have to delete a file named SystemUI.apk otherwise when you reboot the quick panel won't work. It will after the first reboot but any other time after that it will stop working and the file I mentioned will take over. I made a backup of SystemUI.apk and put it in my download folder just in case something went wrong. So far everything has been good and its working 100%. I hope this helps you and isn't too confusing.

HOW TO
Add ICS/Jellybean look alike task switcher
Removed previous update due to some problem in MOD-without-buttom.zip :- please use the new one
and for
[UPDATE] 18 aug- - MOD-without button.zip: without task manager button [fixed[
TO USE THIS MOD ON OTHER DEVICES GO TO THIS POST
and dont forget my name when writing Credits part....
Tools Required:
1. APKTOOL:: for decompiling/compiling
(u can use any decompiler as long as it compiles without any error)
2. JAVA runtime environment-- jre installed on windows
3. 7 ZIP
4. WinRAR
5. MOD.ZIP or MOD without button.zip (attached below)
MOD.zip includes "task manager" button at the bottom
MOD without button.zip obviously doesnt...
Procedure:
Setting up apktool
1. Unzip downloaded APKTOOL.zip to c:/apk (or any other convenient location)
2. copy ur rom's framework-res.apk to c:/apk/ and rename it as framework-stock.apk (dont delete this file neither modify it at any point)
3.open cmd and navigate to c:/apk/ and type command as
Code:
C:\apk>apktool if framework-stock.apk
Now you are all set to decompile framework-res.apk
DECOMPILING framework-res.apk
In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool d framework-res.apk frame
this will put all decompiled files in a folder named "frame"
EDITING decompiled framework-res.apk
1. open "c:/apk/frame/res" in explorer
2. extract all folders in the MOD.zip file to "c:/apk/frame/res/" and replace the files if asked
RECOMPILING framework-res.apk
1. In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool b frame framework.apk
if all goes well it will create an UNSIGNED framework.apk (u cant push it right now)
SIGNING framework-res.apk
1. open c:/apk/framework-res.apk in 7-ZIP not Winrar
2. open c:/apk/framework.apk in WINRAR and drag all the contents to the 7-zip window
and click "yes" in dialog when asked to copy files into framework-res.zip
DONE!!
c:/apk/framework-res.apk is the signed apk which you can push to system/framework/ using any method adb, CWM
or u can even use Miui file explorer to push framework-res.apk without any bootloops.....
if u get stuck in bootloop just flash ur stock framework-res.apk and then report here....
DO give proper credits if you are using this in your rom....
go here to see if it has been added to ur rom already or not....

hex codes run in a continuous form 0-9 and a-f
for example-if u adding a string in public.xml and the last line hex code is 0x7f0b0630 so the next hex codes will be
0x7f0b0631
0x7f0b0632
0x7f0b0633

How to build apps icon pack:
Things you require:
-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-Some icons-Here are my AOSP icons.
-Required apps from the ROM which you want to modify.
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any resizing tool.
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.
-Kindness to press the THANKS button below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps:
1. Download all the things required.
2. Open your ROM and copy all the apps and move them to a seperate folder. Here we will take only 3 apps-Browser, Messaging and Calculator.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Now extract these apps using 7zip or winrar.
4. Now open the app folder, go to res and find the location where the icon of the app is present. These are generally present in mipmap-mdpi or drawable-mdpi. For e.g. in Browser app it's present in mipmap-mdpi named as ic_launcher_browser.png:
5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->app and make a new folder their with named as appname.apk(Here appname refers to the name of the app). For e.g. Browser.apk in my case.
6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->mipmap-mdpi in my case:
7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. For e.g. ic_launcher_browser.png in my case. And resize it to 48X48. If you want to resize it by percent then decrese hdpi icon size by 44% and xhdpi by 66.7%.
8. Do the same for other apps. In my case calculator and messaging.
9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name. You can practically change almost everything under ui_print in updater-script but remember that it should be in the format ui_print("ABCD"); . Here replace ABCD with whatever you like.
10. Now you will be having 4 folders- data, META-INF, system, vrtheme and an image named as preview. Zip all these and rename it whatever you like and flash it with CWM and you're done! Enjoy your own icon pack Feel free to THANK me :laugh:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Important Tip:-Note the size of the original icon and modify the other icon accordingly or else you may not get any icon or smaller icon. For e.g. sometimes the icon present in the app is of size 96X96 though it is mdpi app. But still change the other icon size also to 96X96 to get best result.

Framework and SystemUI flasher TUT.
How to build your framework mods VRTheme:
Things you require:
-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-Your modded icons-Here are my GB styled zoom icons.
-Required framework-res.apk from the ROM which you want to modify.(From /system/framework)
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any good photo editing tool.
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.

2. Open your ROM and copy framework-res.apk to another folder.
3. Now extract it using 7zip or winrar.
4. Now open the extracted folder and find the icons you want to replace. Generally present in res->drawable-mdpi:
5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->framework and make a new folder there with named as framework-res.apk.
6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->drawable-mdpi in my case:
7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. And resize it if needed. If you want to resize it by percent then decrease hdpi icon size by 44% and xhdpi by 66.7%.
8. Do the same for other things you want to modify .
9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name.

Great news to every modder here. QMG files in Lollipop are gone! Edited SystemUI and Framework-res and every resource are now PNGs as in Jelly Bean. Here is a test theme I made which I will post later:
LG G3 Statusbar:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I hope to see a more active forum now that edit System apks is much more easier than before.
Happy theming!

I could, but the battery icon still remains unavailable to edit...
Xposed would do that flawlessly for sure!
Two projects in mind:

AOSP Lollipop Statusbar (looking for nice resources as a lot of them are blurry/resized)
Very great news! Thank you Samsung!

There is a other thread with AOSP for kitkat.
Isn't there a converter?
Can we change the color of the background in menus from white to black?

Yep, but they're sighlty resized and the kitkat battery is a little bit taller than the LP one, meaning that the icons are not well aligned.

We can change them since Kitkat. You just need to decompile the APK and edit styles.xml and set the original theme to the opposite:
Code:
@android:style/Theme.Material (dark version)
@android:style/Theme.Material.Light (light version)

At least not in SystemUI and Framework which are the two fundamental apks to modify the entire System appareance.
Probably some apks still makes use of QMGs because they're directly ported (or copypasted, call them how you want) from Kitkat. But the core apps now have PNG resources.
The best way to know if an app have or not QMG files on it is downloading QMG2PNG tool made by Xperiacle and import the apk, if you have an error saying that the APK have no QMG files on it, then you're good to edit it!

Yep, I've seen that here in XDA, but I have problems recompiling the APK, it gives me a ton of errors in apktool and doesn't create the dist folder with the Apk inside. I will try to use another apktool if that's the problem..
styles.xml
Where can i find styles.xml file ?
I searched with root explorer and i didn't find it ... please help
You have to decompile the apk with e.g. APK Tool first. The styles.xml is located in res/values.
Indeed, really sad, that there are still qmg files. But framework and SystemUI are mostly free of them. Still better this than nothing. [emoji6]

Same OS, same company, same build, should be the same! Download QMG2PNG tool (by Xperiacle) and import any S5 apk, if you have toast notification that says that there aren't QMG resources in the APK file, then it should be the same to your device.
