hi,
I decompiled systemui.apk without any problem, edited the tw_status_bar.xml (for center clock) and compiled the file and the no translation files found problem appeared.
The compiled apk has about 500kb less than the original one. After signing the file, the new compiled file has 100kb more.. so it is 1400 (new) to 1800kb (original)..
Flashing the new file brought a blank black screen.
So I took the new compiled tw_status_bar.xml and replaced it with the one in the old original systemui.apk. Maybe this works fine. But: No, it did not. Also blank screen..
I have installed the framework-res.apk and the tw-framework-res.apk.
Could someone help me please?
We need this for a theme.
Best Regards
You must have done something wrong when compiling
What tool u are using
And what steps u did?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I used apktool.
-> java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk (and tw-framework)
-> java -jar apktool.jar d systemui.apk
-> edit
-> java -jar apktool.jar b SystemUI
Did it with the several apktool.jar files. (151, akptool-for-3.2, ... lot of files)
My SystemUI.apk was befor decompiling 1,92MB after 1,79MB. I work with wanam ics apk manager and everything works fine. I dont sing apk.
No need to sign system apks if you did so.
Try taking META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from old (the working one) apk, and place it in your modified apk (use winrar or something, dont decompile).
Thank you guys,
we will give it a try now and hope that it does its job fine.
I use wanam now
Some ROMs have settings for that. There you can set the clock to center. Maybe I should look how they did this.. So we can give to the users the posibillity to change the clocks position.. Like PA did.. Or is this too much work? Deodex and editing the systemui.apk and compile it? Or are there any other files to edit for this? Maybe someone knows this?

Hi,
I want to center the clock in my status bar on XXLSC JB (ThaiDai)
I decompile SystemUI.apk with apktool without problem.

I forgot something ? I'm lost...
What is the exact and complete procedure ?
Can you help me please ?
Hi,
I got help from user here.
I give you his tips now
You decompiled the sysui without any error, right? Then you edited your tw_status_bar xml and compiled all with the error apeared, as you wrote.
If you have luck, your tw_statusbar is correctly compiled now. Ignore the error.
So you have to transfer the compiled statusbar xml and the resources file to the ORIGINAL systemui.apk.
I dont have this brut error anymore but i hope this will help you.
We got the clock centered with this method.
I wish you a good result
Best regards
PS: please install also tw_framework-res with apktool like you did with framework-res.apk.. This could solve your problem.
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
Thank you for the speed
I did not do twframework-res.apk, I try.
The result with the above error is only classes.dex, nothing else ...
EDIT : always the same error with framework-res.apk + twframework-res.apk
And the same result (classes.dex)
Then delete the classes.dex and try again? I read anywhere that this could work.
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
Hi,
there is not in the file "classes.dex" in the file "SystemUI" Original
Up
Please try please help me, I would just center the clock in the status bar of the Rom ThaiDai LSC
AW: Problems with de/compiling sysui apk - center clock wanted
Download apktool 1.50 and install the framework-res.apk and the tw-framework-res.apk with it (using java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk).
After doing this you are able now to decompile the framework apk and or the systemui.apk. I believe sysui was the file.
Then you can edit the tw_status_bar.xml. Search a correct layout (other centerclock projects) and copy / paste the lines you need.
So I did it.. Compiled the new files with apktool again and copied the new files from build directory into the old apk (the systemui.apk from phone).
Reboot and be happy..

Hi everyone,
I'm trying desperately to edit some files inside SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but I'm having some troubles...
I wanted to post in the specific thread of the program : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310151 but I'm not allowed to, because it's my first post here.
First I used only apktool, I managed to decompile my 2 files with no problems, I replaced a few *.png files and tried to recompile it but I'm getting errors... (I only manage to recompile the files if I don't edit a thing)
Then I tried APK Multi Tool, I achieved to decompile my 2 files (with the option 9 in the program), but I can't recompile them after editing my files. So I decided to make a test, I tried to decompile and recompile (I hit 9 then 11 in the choice case) them WITHOUT changing a thing and I get errors anyway...
If I use the choice 1 (only extract the apk), do my editing and then zip the project (with the choice 3), directories are wrong inside the new *.apk, I get "projects\SystemUI.apk\(res or smali, etc...)" so the *.apk result is not usable
Here is the log file when I try to recompile WITHOUT changes :

Thanks in advance if you can help me
I managed to recompile my edited files with apktool by placing classes.dex and resources.arsc in the folder oh the extracted archives.
I signed my SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with signapk.jar but my ROM still won't boot...
I'm getting the same error
I've emailed the dev. Will let you know if I get a response.
Can you try removing the spaces in the folder name ? "APK Multi Tool" ?
My Windows user name has spaces in it, I was just wondering if that could be an issue.
Just a hunch since spaces can sometimes cause problems.
Let me know if that works !
---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------
Well ignore my previous post. I created a new user and tried to compile. Still getting the same error
Funny, i'm having the EXACT same thing happen to me.
I used to use linux and I know that when I was originally installing it(on linux) it wouldn't run without a file called "aapt". I had to download and insert the file with the others in a specific area.
Unfortunately I had to wipe linux and reinstall win7 for school purposes. So now here I am trying to test everything on windows, which is a blur to me since I haven't used it in so long.
In the error log we are getting, it's mentioning something about "aapt", and when I go searching for it in the APK-multi tool folders, it's nowhere to be found. This file may be what's causing the issue of de/recompiling.
EDIT: I figured it out, well kinda. I uninstalled version 1.0.2, and downloaded and installed version 1.0.0 of apk multi tool from his website. Tested again and this time everything went ok. there must be some sort of bug in the newest one.
Try this, it will work
Place apk in modding folder
Hit #1to extract apk
go to project folder and make your mods
now hit #3 to zip apk
then hit #1 to retain system signature for system files (system.ui, framework.res etc...)
go into modding folder and get the new unsigned apk and rename it to what it was before
place in sd card or use adb to push to where ever it needs to go
this works everytime for me, never had problems hope this helps
that works for editing images only...but I want to edit some .xml files, and when I extract I don't get them
thats where we need decompile/compile
Im getting this same issue..
I have the same issue every apk creates with a project/*.*.apk
Anyone fix it?
Ok so dropped back to version 1.0.1 and it works
when I hit option 3 in 1.0.1 I see
compressing res\
But in version 1.0.2 I see
compressing project\FILESNAME.apk\res\
Hope that helps

See point 1, spaces in paths have given me issues before and spent ages trying everything before finally realizing it's how I'd named the folder.

[B]1. [COLOR="Red"]Make sure your path has no spaces[/COLOR]
2. Your filename has no wierd characters
3. Java/adb are in your path
4. It's not a proprietary rom's apk (aka Sense,Motorola,Samsung) (If u are, then use option 11 and drag the required framework, eg com.htc.resources, twframework-res...etc)
5. It's not a themed apk (if it is, expect .9 png errors, use as close to stock as possible)
6. Look at the log to know whats happening

y don't u just rename to .zip and unpack then when u r done repack and then rename to .apk, the apk is that same as a zip file. or are u just trying to edit the xml files?

Open up the apk with 7 zip and remove the classes.dex before decompiling and then put it back in after recompiling. See if that helps. Did you change any of the files in the folders that are throwing errors?

Decompile with apktool 1.4.2 and recompile with 1.4.3. But the CRT animation is not an easy framework change like GB. It is further ingrained in the system and will require modifying additional files.
Hi, I want modify the number of deskop on my Ray ...

But I don't understand this integer format ? and How can I modify this ?? (and it's possible ?)
Or another way to modify the number of desktop ??
Thanks for your dev answers !
u have to unpack Home.apk via APK tool, then find in res/values/integers.xml.
there u will see Number of desktop panes=5 , Modify to whichever number u like...
Then repack, re-sign, zipalign apk..

It clearly states the error that when u open styles.xml there is something that u added or modified in 4th line(styles.xml:4: ) that has no resources added in public.xml and strings.xml..
Dont add new things or dont rename anything in xmls coz then u have to change it in public.xml and strings.xml and if its linked to more xmls..
For newbies, u should only change values like numbers in dimens.xml and integers.xml.. dont rename files..

sorry doctor, but i dont think so. i really just decompiled Home.apk (installing framework before ofcourse) and directly recompiled it again without even open Home folder to see integer.xml and friends.
i've tried in myfriend's pc (also windows) and the screen also told me the same error. but when i tried to modify another app, it just finished like a charm.

use xDAAutotool, Install framework first (framework-res.apk of the same version)... some apks wont recompile if framework is not installed... and for some u have to install another framework which should be Semcgenericuxpres.apk...
and next time provide a logcat of error if u r using
You don 't need to recompile it:simply modify. png and replace with winrar(i think it only contain graphic resources)

JJ, when u recompile this apk, which version of apktool do u use? 1.4.3 and 1.4.2 both cause the aapt.exe to crash...
Ok, now understand what is your problem:when you add file in the apk with winrar use no compression, or better recreate the apk as zip archive without compression, i use this metod, then is better if you zipalign it.
Inviato dal mio ST18i
oh!! i've made this zip now.. I'll put it in my phone and report back..
Earlier what happened was, the original png was 1.44kB.. after modification it became around 25kB... so when i put in the apk, it didnt work... I noticed that now however, that apktool dosent actually compress images..as i used to think earlier..
ok.. the pngs are working.. however there are problems..
settings crashes... and the pngs lose their .9 data... they appear stretched and the black lines determining the 9 patch data also appears there..
Any way to retain the 9 patch info?
if you wanna edit .9.png you need to extract it, decompile it using 9patch first. then you can edit it and recompile back.
information about .9patch http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/wiki/9PatchImages

Help plz!
Here is the problem....
Does any one know the trick for recompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk [4.1.B.0.587]?
I used apktool to decompile this apk and edited styles.xml and dimen.xml to sync some of the styles to framework-res.apk.
but when tried recompiling it failed saying "aapt" stoped working. i thought it could be due to corrupted *9*.png files.
but it doesnt seems to be as i included those *9*.png files part of another apk and just re-compiled, it worked.
then i deleted public.xml file from values folder and attempted an recompile, it worked.
but the signed apk from apktool didnt work, when it was loaded back. i do not know what do to after this.
if someone has an answer please help me out.
-Muthu
I've worked out a workaround for this..Its kinda funny..
If u wana edit any xml file, just edit it and put in in another apk. Any apk file that succesfully decompiles and recompiles..
There's a problem with semcgenericuxpres.apk, and it does not recompile with this aapt.exe..
so, u just add your modded xml from semcgenericuxpres to any other recompilable apk..
Recompile that other apk
and now open that apk with winrar
extract your compiled xml from that apk
Add it to the original semcgenericuxpres.
It works..
@Tan9890, Thanks for replying...as the view count growing up without replies . Do you any option for editing styles.xml?
Hi there,
I have a major gripe with the S III, the menu and back keys being far to easy to knock, so I am trying to switch my CM9 Nightly to use Soft Keys.
I have managed to find and follow some information about decompling the framework-res.apk and editing the boolean.xml file to enable the soft keys. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364757 but when i go to recompile it get this:

Does anyone know either how to fix this compile issue or enable the soft keys another way?
Thanks in advance
this actually took me several hours to figure out, but since you were so kind to post the guide to something I have wanted for a while I took the challenge.
You need to download the three files from step 1 in this post and copy them to a folder on your harddrive: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427959
Next, rename apktool1.4.2.31e6dc5.jar to apktool.jar
Then copy your framework-res.apk to the same place as the three other files.
Then open up a command prompt and type apktool if framework-res.apk.
Then decompile using apktool d framework-res.apk.
Now, do your edits inside the framework-res folder.
Then download apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2 from the same post (under rebuild). Extract it and replace the apktool.jar you copied earlier.
Now in the command prompt type apktool b framework-res.
Now go to framework-res\dist and rename the framework-res.apk to framework-res1.apk-zip. Then copy your old framework-res.apk to the same folder and add .zip as the file extension.
Now open up both (i'm using winrar) and delete res and resources.arc. Then extrack res and resources from your newly compiled framework-res1.apk.zip to th e old one.
Now, reboot to recovery and push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework-res.apk. Then chown it using chmod 0:0 framework-res.apk and set permissions chmod 644 framework-res.apk.
Hope you understood at least a bit of what I wrote I'm assuming you know how to use adb etc.
@op you could also upload your framework-res.apk file here and I could do the compiling for you
Thank you soo much! I didn't need to chown or chmod the file, just pushed it live and rebooted. Deleted the mapping for my touch buttons also. Only funny thing I had was all my accounts were removed?
Thanks again!
