Hello,
I want to decompile the DefaultThemes.apk ! However,decompiling with apk manager 4.9 gives an error !
I dont want to just change the images,but add another theme !
What can be done ?
probably the best solution would be enable the cyanogenmod themes manager and install that theme...

I want to add a theme,not replace existing !
defaultheme.apk need dependencies for being decompiled which is framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
you can find them on /system/framework
I do not use apkmanager so can't tell you the way to do it but with apktool i do this
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

Hello,thanks ! I was able to decompile the apk successfully. However,I added the desired files for new theme,added the ids,and edited the smali files ! I then recompiled it and signed it. However,after pushing it to the phone,it doesn't work,just a blank screen is displayed ! Here is my apk ! What shall I do to make it work ?
Thanks !
Edit : It is working after restarting phone,however new theme doesn't show up in themes menu,only old ones are shown !
i have this eror too...
decompile apkmanager v5.0 send log: cant find framework resourse of parkage of id:2.You must install proper framework file, see project wedsite for more info.??
How can i decompile this defaultthemes.apk?
sr my bad english..!
Solution?
What I do is using Root Explorer.apk I extract the file while on the phone (it automatically unfold it in a new folder called extracted). I copy the original files to a TMP folder in case I delete or make mistake with the original files when copy them over.
I then connect the phone via USB and change the files thats need to be changed and then I unplug the USB cable and again using the Root Explorer.apk I choose to zip it again. An from there I rename the new file to *.apk
Hope it helps
guys please help...i like too much defaultthemes but i did everything and they don't take effect to my phone...mini pro 2.3.7 mcm7 v21 i put them in the system/app change perm but nothing...maybe cause i have a theme from themechooser or something...in the start i didn't replace the default themes.apk there wasn't anything there... any ideas???thanks

framework from stock???
Yes
Note: mean about modifying xml files, not drag and drop from the one to the another... ! I have resigned all apks (including framework-res) and have no boot loop but framework-res can not be recompiled and signed, only signed! Allso drag and drop not working if xml files is modified! Hope you understand what I mean?

Have U tried to drag 'n drop AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder from stock to modified framework-res and overwrite everything ( of course using archive manager )??
I needed to do this in my MIUI port ( CyanogenMod10 based ) for X8, because after every recompile I needed to copy them to not get bootloop

No, I have success in resigning unmodified stock framework-res, so META-INF have no sense because new META-INF is signed by new key and its working! There is problem with "format" ...seems Sony have his own aapt and apktool which making totaly diferent "format" than apktool and aapt that we using. I tried many of the aapt | apktool but .arsc have totaly diferent size (allso png files is with totaly diferent size)... !
Have u used the apk manager by diamondback??

have you figured out the problem yet??
and one thing I wanted a favour........
I wanted to change the rotation fix for your MIUI to back to its original state..... decompiled the framework-res.apk from the MIUI and changed the some values in framework-res/res/values/bools.xml and then recompiled it and when I replaced it with the default one I was getting the status bar of different width from the original..... it was almost double..... I also tried by just replacing some images just for test and the same thing happened........
Can you tell me whats the problem is????
Hey bro,
Even I was stuck with this issue for a while I think it was Spaun_Studio who found out how to fix this issue Its basically to do with apktool not bundling the required nxt drawables as needed Anyway, Here's the fix :
1) After decompiling, go to apktool.iml and delete the following lines :
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Go to res/values and open styles.xml. There, delete all references to sonyericcson.uxp:drawable (Delete the entire line)
Then, compile and it will work
Credits to Spaun_Studio and not me for the idea
Cheers

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.

Hello,I have problem with recompiling any system apk for kitkat firmware,tried to decompile and recompile framework-res as the usual way of any 4.3 firmware and lower,it does decompile and recompile successfully but when I replace it back instead of the original one I got it stuck at sprint screen for NOTE3 SPRINT .also when I try with SecSettings ,the settings icon disappear after replacing the original one,I even tried building the apk without any modification and I got the same thing.
there is must be something with signing kitkat apk different than 4.3 and lower firmware.
I used the same method of signing A System apk of taking META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml and inserting them into the new APK.
apktool version 1.5.3
phone:NOTE3 SPRINT N900P 4.4.2 STOCK FIRMWARE.
THANK YOU
