Tablet [4.1.2] bottom system bar on Nougat? Help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Ok, so I, for an unknown reason even to myself, am desperate to use the Android ICS/Jellybean bottom system bar on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I am using Android 7.0 - Nemesis ROM.
I have been trying to do this for so long, simply lacking the precise coding knowledge to do so. I have downloaded the code from the Android Developers reference website, but am having a lot of difficulty decompiling the Framework-res.apk.
I have read that the magic happens in three files:
Framework-res.apk
System.apk
Services.jar
I have downloaded prior to today a copy of these files, with the hope of swapping them with my own and then changing the DPI to turn my S6 Edge into the old tablet mode. Prior to KitKat, all I needed to do was change the DPI.
I should make it clear, my laptop at the moment is no longer working at the moment, so I would be extremely grateful if somebody, anybody with good knowledge of compiling and decompiling these files, could help me?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
William

Thanks for everybody's help.

I believe for you to modify anything, you'd need to first be rooted to have su access in order to overwrite a system app. Second, you'd have to get a apk decompiler that finds the src and unencrypts the class files. Unfortunately, I cannot find any resources to help with this.

Need help porting custom ROM

Hi to all! I need some help in porting a custom ROM for my device, a Lenovo A328. It has an MT6582 chipset. I already downloaded a ported CyanogenMod ROM for my device, and I saw some imperfections.
My phone doesn't have an auto brightness sensor, but the ROM has one. Can anyone teach me how to eliminate that feature?
And, the settings app for this ROM has many unnecessary features that my phone doesn't have, like capacitive button backlight (my phone's buttons have no backlight) and so on. Do I have to decompile the settings app or do I have to modify something else?
Please help me I really want to create a near-perfect ROM for my device since all the other ROMs didn't fit my taste and had many imperfections like the ones stated above. The forum that created that ROM is Russian, and I have already asked for help from them in the past, and they didn't understand me since they know no English. I do have ported a few ROMs already, but I would only classify the as dirty ports, since I just edited the necessary files like the build.prop and copied off the rest.
Please help me, I'm a fast learner and I'm willing to learn.
Thanks in advance

Custom Tiles to pretty stock ROM

Hi there guys and girls
I have stock Lollipop Rom, rooted with TWRP installed; I would like to add a few tiles to the very few available at the moment, also if possible reorder them..
I searched and searched, here and on Google, but the only things I found were: old old and useless method for JB, xposed module (cannot install Xposed here, it's an x86_64 CPU) and the Custom Quick Settings app, which doesn't work good for me..
So, I unpacked the framework of the ROM, de-compiled SysteUI.apk but now I'm basically lost because I don't know what to edit to achieve my goal! I can't even understand what to look for: I'm pretty sure my stuff should be in qs* xml and smali files, but it's a mess there
Do you please have any tips for me, any how-to, guide, suggestions, whatever? I take everything!!
Thanks a lor, see you!

Will this do, I would look in your SystemUI first. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-t3005222
thanks but I'm already looking at SystemUI but it's plenty of stuff there and it's difficult to change tiles.. Also the thread you linked is only for Samsung Touchwiz, you can see from the attached screenshot that shows the dialog where to pick which tiles/Quick Settings to include.. There the OP just unlock the limited number, but the rest of the stuff is already there..

Wanting to create a theme for my phone using TouchWiz - Please help

Hi
I am new (like totally new) I haven't done any phone programming before and I haven't done any computer programming for years (yes I am 46, but I am a techno junky). I like the themes on the Samsung Themes Store, but I would like to make my own and use them. I have looked at how to make Icons etc, but I would like to know how to get them onto my phone without using another Launcher. I have looked into Samsung Developers, but being a beginner I don't have any designs and I wouldn't know where to start.
I also tried following a thread '[GUIDE] Make your own Themes for your Samsung device' by mygalaxya, but I couldn't find where to download the Java JDK & Android SDK. The link takes me to Android Studio which I have already downloaded.
Would someone be so kind as to help me, from the beginning? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
P.S. I'm not stupid just need some guidance

Help on SystemUI.apk

Hi there and hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and a noob when it comes to Android development.
I am a little bit stuck regarding my researches and hopefully will get a little help here.
As many people know, a lot (nearly all) of chinese devices carry malware in them: So with the Doogee X5max.
I have identified four threads on the phone and was able to get rid off three of them in the meantime.
The last one that is really struggeling me is located within the SystemUI.apk (according to Dr Web light).
Now my questions:
1) As far as I know, SystemUI.apk only holds style information regarding the user interface of the device.
How can malware / trojan / virus, etc. do its job from within the SystemUI.apk? Is there any executable code in it?
2) Can I just decompile a SystemUI.apk from let's say AOSP and recompile it using the framework stored on my phone and then install it?
3) Does anyone have experience in removing malware that resides within the firmware of a device and did NOT come from the outside, e.g. via sideloads?
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards
Markus
