Hello, I would like to customize the phone more to my preferences and I would like to edit the systemui etc, I've tried looking for systemui, but just couldn't find it, I am using aosp extended, and when I looked for the systemui.apk in the system folder, its just not there. I used to work a bit with those things a few years back, but I don't know if its different because miui is maybe built differently or just android changed the way files are compiled or anything. Anyway, if someone could shortly explain to me how to edit miui/any custom rom system files, or give me a guide that fits miui, I would really appreciate it, thanks.
anyone pls? :\

I am very interested in making a theme for our awesome AOSP ROMs that we have so far. I am only familiar with the normal or old way of themeing.. I have never made a theme chooser theme before. I have never used Eclipse, I usually just extract with APK Multi-Tools and change XML with Notepad ++ and edit icons with Paint.NET. I have opened a few existing t-c themes and realized I don't know anything about this stuff.. lol Any good guides out there you could point me to? I tried to Google the subject and all the threads just have themes to download, can't find any guides. I have never made an apk from scratch before.. don't know if that is where I have to start?
**EDIT: May have found a better place to start

Any other suggestions are welcome.
Above post says to use androidian.apk as a template which I think is only in CM7, anybody know what the cm9 equivalent is?
**EDIT: May have found a working template for CM9/AOKP XHDPI/HDPI.. Will give it a try

Maybe im starting a little bit above my head but I've finally been able to create my own builds of roms from source stock and cm thanks to all the info here which is pretty amazing the only time i run into problems is when i try to venture off into the custom world. My question is i guess I see so many references from devs to this and the updater script for obvious reasons i just wanted to know what it was and why their so important in the rom itself and in tweaks. Most importantly though where can i go to learn how to understand this stuff
What exactly is your question? The updater-script is like a manifest for the installation of the rom, it controls what gets copied where, and sets permissions. I'm sure it can/does do more, but I don't know too much myself. As far as the framework-res.apk goes, it is the "framework" for the rom. So among other things it hase the core color, animation, dimensions, etc xml's. It also has some of the system png's. I'll try to find some links, as I haven't really look before. Anyone else feel free to chime in with more info, or correct me if I'm wrong.
For updater-script, might want to look in my signature

I've tried just about every rom and kernel on this site for my Xgo, and I've found AOSX 4.4.4 to be the best overall. Problem is, there's no settings option for themes. I really like the Android L theme from this thread, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...-apps-t2798153), so I've been messing around with trying to get it to take on my AOSX rom. I've tried Apktool, and HKthemer, trying to modify the Theme.apk and the phone's framework-res.apk, but always come up with errors about not finding source for files. The biggest part of the problem is that I don't know what I'm doing, but I've hit it lucky taking chances enough times before that I'm willing to keep trying. Any Ideas?
(I know that I could easily install a different launcher with a similar theme, but for one, I don't like additional launchers, and for two, I just want to figure it out)
Thanks
Just wondering if there's a way to make a stock rom look like AOSP. Can the system ui apk be switched and what files would need to be switched with it? Can it be decompiled and PNG's be changed inside the apk? I love aosp but want stock features. I'll do the work if anyone has some knowledge to drop on me!
Try a lg home theme
Hi to everyone
I hope that someone can help on this thing. Maybe i be wrong but, i think this should not be a big deal to handle cause the two systems are really similiar to each other.
First of all, here is what i try to accomplish:
Ive got myself a new Aquaris X5 from X5 which come out of the box with CyanogenOS.
With the CyanogenOS-ROM from the X5 comes a custom camera-app from BQ itself (Camerabq.apk).
With this custom Camera-app from BQ you have way more functions and also the Quality of the Pictures is better (i think) in comparison to the camera-app from CyanogenOS (Cameranext.apk).
Because of the "advantages" from CyanogenMod compared to CyanogenOS i want to move permanently to CyanogenMod, and thats why i want to port the bq camera-app from CyanogenOS to CyanogenMod.
Here is what i have tried:
Copied Camerabq.apk from CyanogenOS
Flashed CyanogenMod
Installed Camerabq.apk
Results:
Almos every single feature works exact as in CyanogenOS except the panorama-mode.
As soon as i tried to switch into the panorama-mode the camera-app crashes. After that first crash the app doesnt start up again, crashes at every start. It only starts working again, after i delete the app-data.
Sadly i have no skills in app-development and/or app-porting, thats why i hoped someone can help me to accomplish this task.
Are there any missing files, libs, frameworks etc thats needed to make the panorama-mode work?
If i have all the files together, how do i make a flashable zip-file out of this?
Just to make it clear, i dont want to compile my own custom-rom from CM-sources, i just want to make a flashable zip for the custom bq camera-app for everyone.
A logcat is attached to this post.

If you can decompile the apk and then share the androidmanifest.xml, then maybe I could help you.

Thanks for the quick reply :good:
I managed to get a lib-file which was missing by the help of another user.
