Hi guys,
I recently saw that Sony had releases "music" beta app.. Now I love the app but I did not like the icon and "music" text.
Basic searching and I came across ApkTool and I did all I can..
I rebuilt the Apk but there seems to be either "application not installed" error or "error parsing package" error.
I tried using signapk also tried moving the META-INF from orginal Apk to my modded one..
Can u please tell me if I am missing any steps or am I going wrong anywhere.
i have old walkman icon in latest beta.
when i try to decompile the apk it's not succesful.
if you want to change the app name you should decompile the apk,
go to res => values => strings.xml,
open it with notepad++ &
search after this
Code:
<string name="music_app_action_bar_title_txt">Music</string>
<string name="music_app_name_txt">Music</string>
change it to
Code:
<string name="music_app_action_bar_title_txt">Walkman</string>
<string name="music_app_name_txt">Walkman</string>
save changes, recompile, sign & test if it works

can you try this?
old icon and in some languages is it renamed into walkman
@MysticEnforcer
Yes I have done the exact same thing.. The problem seems to be with unpacking.. When I repack I dont see same folder names.. More over I guess the usual signing wont work.. They have some sort of Sony certificates..

Bro can u tell me why superuser mod or lucky patcher?
The app is not getting installled at all.
I have attached the apk i made. could you tell me if it is working?
BDFreak said:
What is this? Let me explain you. It will Bypass the signature checking of sony. Sometimes when we mod any system app and put it back in to system with correct permission but the app doesn't work or doesn't install or force closes. Or Some of the apps from other sony device like Z1, Z Ultra, Z etc. are not installing in our phone even we put them in system with correct permission but they don't work. Most of the time these problems are happening because of signature checking.

lucky patcher brings a xposed module where you can activate signature verification always true, disable .apk signature verification & disable signature verification in package manager.
you don't need to modify your services.jar etc
installed your modded apk as a normal app & works
@MysticEnforcer bro u made my day... Thanks a ton for alll the help
no problem :good:

Can anyone please direct me to the correct tutorial(or similar) on how to modify framework-res.apk files of 2011 xperias like St15i,st18i, etc.. ????
I have been Here but it is for the earlier xperias. Does it apply to today's xperias also ???
decompile apk using apkmanager , edit files and zip.
install apkmanager first and you will get to know everything, no need for a tutorial.

I'm using Apk Multi tool, since Apk manager is no longer supporting.
My problem is that the system ui apk i have is from a custom rom(Hybrom v11) which has control panel in the notification area.
Now when i'm decompiling the system ui.apk i get an error in apk tool, an error too technical in the log for me to understand.
I get an error in Apk Manager 4.9 too probably the same as apk multi tool.
So if error occurs some part of the apk is not decompiled right ?
If it is not decompiled correctly how am i going to edit the xmls and recompile it ??
systemui.apk needa dependencies to be decompiled. check there will be an option of decompiling apk with with dependency. when it asks for dependency file, point it to framework-res.apk

Just now did that. But apk tool says that framw-res is not the dependent apk. So what is the solution ??
decompile it without dependency and post log here.
Strange now i'm not getting any error . I really had that problem today morning. Thanks for Prompt replies prateek
Any way one off topic question . Can you tell me how to mod power menu. I want to add reboot and recovery in power menu for my st15i . Do i have to add images for it ??
its not in systemUI afaik. there is other file I forgot its name.

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

OK, Maybe you never saw me around. because I don't play a lot here On XDA and.
"I am no good at introducing this" but this my own mod from following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273807
It named "SWAPABLE TABBED SETTING"
from latest Stock ICS Firmware 4.1.B.1.13 and it might work for other firmware too.
And I would share it to you Guys. it's nice to share a thing
this setting contains 3 tabs
First tab is personal tab
Second tab is system tab and
Third tab is application tab
You can check the screenshot below on attachment.
--beware for second tab its include--
SystemUI preference
QuickPanel setting
QuickSetting and
CPUControl
for SystemUI Preference and QuickSetting its need Serajr's SystemUI v.7.0 and above.
for QuickPanel its need Xperia Z or Xperia T SystemUI.apk
------------------NOTES-----------------
If
you use Serajr's SystemUI;
Then
QuickPanel Setting will cause Force close.
And if
you use Xperia Z/T SystemUI
Then
SystemUI Preference & Quick Setting will cause Force close
----------------END NOTES--------------
for CPUControl its need "No Frill CPUControl.apk" installed on your /system/app/
And for third tab you will find "Terminal Emulator"
[--installation--]
download the file from the given link below
And Push it to /system/app/
All in mediafire
Settings.apk.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?93hn8tm1fia6os0
Terminal Emulator.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/?u7oz0524mo2aunj
Be careful "it's not flashable Zip file" so you need to push it manually using Root Explorer or similar app.
extract it first. the next step you should know how to push it.

Sorry for the long wait, you can decompile my settings.apk yourself, and look what you need inside.
Just give the proper credit, to me and the originial guide above.
Find error uh??
Just look at the logcat, you can trace what amiss.

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?¿
