I been keepin the orginal sig on all my files :D Has worked with the system UI and framework-res .. Also all the .9 imgs have been working with no issues.. Recompiled fine.. Well keeping the orignal sig has always worked :D Just the IME file always crashes... If I screw with anything in it...

I am kinda stumped on why it will FC only apk that I have issues with when it comes to cookin it back into the rom and flashin..

All I did was edit the laccent .9 and paccent .9 keys was gonna see if I could find a shortcut in some of the edits... The rest ones...

next dumb question...

OK, I'm getting it all narrowed down now, have deleted a LOT of stuff off the stock rom...but cannot find where the lockscreen files are located...ie you can choose wallpaper, weather, (that's already gone?), photo, friendstream..which the apps are all gone...but can't find where to remove them or reference to them...cleaned up wallpapers and edited xml's so that it doesn't point to blank pages...stumped on this...and I'm sure it's right under my nose...thanks again.

Can I make a request of someone who is good at making sig banners?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
idlescreen.......apk is where all those are , but im not exactly sure what your asking.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhawk1302:
well if you look at stock rom...personalize..scenes, skins, wallpaper...then lockscreen and you can choose...the above I already deleted crap wallpaper and skins and their assets..then edited xml so blank pages didn't show up in the menu...last one is lockscreen and I cant seem to find the pngs for the preview nor where to tell it to not put em in the menu ...make sense?

I would ultimately like to insert the quote hidden in my sig, inserted into the banner that has my name in it. Is that possible?
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Was it a shadow?
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
No, turns out the dang thing was right under my nose the whole time. Have you ever decompiled and the pngs look all weird when you opened them in Photoshop?

Well, that's what happened in this case. I was scrolling through the drawable-hdpi folder then stumbled on the pngs that looked exactly like that bad image. The images in question were both common_titlebar_sublevel_static.png and common_titlebar_sublevel_static_middle.png. I don't know which one was in that pic but they were both bad. Instead of having a clean border, it had a black piece hanging off of it. It must've happened when I dragged them into Photoshop to recolor them. I just grab the good pngs from the other skin I did and save it in another photo editor program then recolored them again. :o

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Was that in the framework res or system ui?

Lol a graphic glitch is annoying.

Im still tryin to figure that issue out on the HTC IME apk it's not the sig borking .. It's something that the apktool is borkin up.. I have heard other people having the same issue with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
I'm doing a skin so it's not in either. The drawable-hdpi is a standalone folder. However, those should normally be in com.htc.resources.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
make sure you have the latest apktool and use it from a cmd line. i havent had any issues de/recompiling and using the IME
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Nice the only skins I build off are the 3 they give ya in the fusion thing... M10 files arn't bad..

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

I will have to look that up on google thought I was using the latest.. I know if it was a sig issue the sucker wouldn't pop up or install... I just get a FC.. HTC sense FC..

Apktool builds and recompiles fine.. Only apk file that gives me hell lol.. All the others work and do what I need..
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
the IME shouldn't make sense fc something else is causing that
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
It only happens if I play with that IME.. Was the touch input part of sense that dicked up .. Which the error was sense touch input part.. I could still skip through everything tho and adb reboot to bootloader lol..

Tryin to remember all what had happend with it.. I was up till 4AM last night dickin with things.. Still hammerin coffee pot to wake up.

Wasn't a hang and battery pull..

I was messing around with the 9 png files in it. Tryin to find a shortcut maybe instead of playing with smali to pimp the keyboard out..
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
got a weird phone.apk question:

(stock phone.apk from steelROM so it has the roam only hack and diag screen)

If I decompile/edit/recompile, I get random phone and acore FC. The size of stock is about 4mb, after I recomp at 9 compression in apkmanager it's 2mb. I've tried zero compression, ends up 5mb. I've literally tried everything I can think of. I've signed it and not, zipaligned and not. Nothing works, EXCEPT if I take the original apk, and 7zip in my compiled pngs.

I've been running the stock one with 7zipped in pngs since about noon, no FC yet, but I would like a cleaner phone.apk. I assume it's something to do with either compression or signatures, but I give up. Any pointers?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
what are you doing just editing .pngs?

if so i know that phone apk has issues with apktool try making all your edits compile at 0 compression resign zipalign and then swap the resources.arse from original to edited. try that.
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
What do you think of this Steve? I had to just make a new one, if you like it I'll send it to you. I can edit it too.

Hey there! I'm looking for help to find which xml controls a text color on contacts.apk on this part:

When click on Home pop up a window:

I want that text white, I'm pretty sure it's a xml in contacts.apk, because I modify two to change the color on this window:

And I don't think it is in framework-res.apk because on other pop up windows have the right color:

I really would appreciate your help, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] jhawk1302:
Thanks again...

I managed to get rid of the blank files in the settings menu by just deleting not used idlescreen apk's..but I did install the weather one back in and apparently that somewhere causes the rift in the default wallpapers and skins..I'm sure it is in the xml somewhere, but it's easier just to keep it as one other than default.

Next question...I've deleted what I thought was the reference to scenes in default.xml, (MNS) ...worked great until I loaded that same idlescreen back up, now I have under settings HTC (current) with my default skin showing...then 7 more gray screens...weren't there yesterday, so something else is now pointing at them in the settings menu...any ideas?

Can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction to successfully edit a m10 file for sense 3.5 / 3.6

I've been looking forever but no one who knows will teach me and everyone else I've asked doesn't know.

Thanks In advanced :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Unfortunately, it's not possible in sense 3.5 and up as there are no tools to decompile yet. There is however a way to use images from 3.0 combined with 3.5 and 3.6. Check on the Rezound forum for the tutorial, not sure where, but it's there somewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
my guess is it's in framework somewhere. I haven't worked much with ICS, but in theory it would be near the other two you modified, do youe see something like text color=@android:styles or something?
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
**** I tried copying the name of a file in a 3.0 skin and I accidentally pushed shift+c enter instead of ctrl+c enter. Now the file is named C and I don't know what it was called before. Should I just delete it?

BTW it was an app sharing icon
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
right click it i think there should be the option "undo rename" or hit ctrl z
[HTC EVO 3D] DorianX:
Thanks for the info I will be looking at framework-res.apk by the way this is froyo not ICS

Im working on the 2.17 base but when I use the apktool to recompile anything from the 2.17 base it fails to recompile.

Weather I make edits or not.

What you guys recommend?

Im using apk manager 5.01
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Are you getting an error message?
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Yup.

It will get errors even if i don't touch it.

And after that it will still make the apk but it won't have a resource file in it.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
What error messages are you getting? Can you link?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Oh that's good then, froyo is much simpler I'm sure. Look thru the contacts apk xml, if what you're looking for references @android that's pulling from framework.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Haven't had issues with it man . Do you have java path set right? That caused me hell with apktool .

Ditto. I also know that bad files can cause decompiling and compiling issues as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
have you updated your resources? aapt? latest apktool? try using apktool in a cmd line see if that fixes the issue, also try updating android sdk.

Thats a odd one.. I am sure you already

IF com.htc.resources.apk along with framework-res.apk

Then went to work on it..

Never got it to throw that code.. I have had string issues but nothing that didn't build..

Do you always have that issue even with a stock build ? Non modded ones...
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I've only had this issue on the 2.17 build.

And ya, I have freash com.resources and framework in there.

But I don't make any edits and it fails.

Both the apktool and apk manager.

Are there any other tools I could try?

Oh and it will build with apk manager but it won't have resources or classes files in it so it crashes the taskbar
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
What are you using windows or linux? Im trying to figure out why it would be screwing up I am using the same apktool on windows 7 64bit... I had funky issues the first time I used it but mine was java based issues.. I would get a bunch of funky errors and what not...

http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list What one you running?

Wondering what is causing your issues tho... You have the latest apktool from the looks of it..
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I'm running it on 64bit win 7

On 2 different computers. Same issues...

And i can't imagin it would be java based when it worked just fine on 2.08 lol
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I been using it on my 2.17 base :D So I am trying to figure out what the issue is... When I decompile or build I never see anything java related in it... So I am wondering if it is a java issue... Just a wild guess.. I could be wrong like you said it worked fine on 2.08...

Have you tried another 2.17 base rom to see if you have the same issue..
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
My issue is recompiling.

No issues decompiling with either apktool or apkmanager
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
What were you tryin to edit in it.. You already have the latest apktool from the looks of it.. So it's not that problem.. I am tryin to figure out what causes the screw up when you recompile it..

Even when I recompile I never see anything java based in it... Like what your thingy was saying ...

Always says checking resources and so on then building apk....... I wonder if it's something wrong with that apk file ...
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Just a run of the mill systemui.apk

If on apktool I can decompile it and immeadatly try recompiling and it fails
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I been using the stock 2.17 framework-res and com.htc.resources

Have you tried anything else rom wise to test to see if it is the program causing the issue or the apk your working with.
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
Not as of yet.

Ive been running off the ones from the stock base ive been modding

do you mind attatching your files so i can try them out?
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
It looks like there is an error in the status bar xml, line 9. What the hell is statusbar clock icon? I'd start there. As far as the error with apktool, it looks like your trying to build an apk that was not decompiled. Normally the decompiled apk won't have the .apk in the name

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
the clock icon is a background i made for the clock

i got that working in the past.

And idk how its trying to build an apk that wast decompiled, especially when i decompiled it already..
[HTC EVO 3D] silverxbv2:
I'm confused. I thought you said these errors were when recompiling a stock sysui with no changes

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I get the errors with no changes yes

The one with the clock error was from the apk manager where I dropped all my skinned icons.

I hadn't changed the XML to use the clock icon, that's why that showed up.

The second error was from apk tool

What I did was put all 3 files in the folder, framework, resources and systemui and then apktool if for the framework and resources, then

Apktool d systemui.apk

It decompiled no problem.

Immediately after I did

Apktool b systemui.apk

And that's when ingot that second error.

No edits at all
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
Your telling apk tool that your trying to recompile an apk. You don't type apk when you build. Your getting an immediate error also meaning your syntax is wrong.

Remember you have SystemUI.apk in your apktool folder so it expects a d instead of a b if you add .apk at the end
[HTC EVO 3D] aedon:
I see.

Odd how I never remebered that one lol.

Guess its been that long since I've used apktool.

So that explains that one lol.

I'm going to redownload apkmanager and re set up my files and see if it fixes the issues there aswell

Going back and rereading your post it does pretty much say the same thing haha

I just didn't put 2 and 2 togeather when you said no .apk in it

Update tho, after redownloading apk manager (5.02) resetting my resources and framework in the apktool, then running apkmanager again it worked no problems.

Now I have the status bar fully skined as far as images go.

Now i gata go through the transparency steps again
