'mode.com' should be in either 'c:\windows\system32\' or 'c:\windows\SysWOW64\'. If it's in either one of those directories, you just need to add that directory to your PATH variable.

I'm more than happy to share my copy if you haven't got it, but I'd be a bit concerned about the fact that it's not on your system. This is a standard Microsoft file that should be available with every copy of Windows..

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] I was wondering if you could help with something. I'm on NI1 ATT ROM Stock and I have also tried custom ROMs also. The problem is when I de-odex anything in the system/framework it hangs on boot animation. I have used three different types of software to deodex but no luck. Any suggestions?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
What are you trying to deodex? And how do you do it?
[Android Themes] parkerj7uc:
Android.policy.jar I've used tma 9.2.1 and ultimate deodex. I use those two all the time with no problems. So I deodex the file and push it yo framework and change the permission and get boot loops.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm..

Can you share your history.txt please?

Problem!

Hello TickleFish I can't recompile Framework-res.apk for my galaxy tab 3 7 inch kk device.

It is the normal deodexed Framwork-res.apk that is on my Galaxy Tab 3 4.4.2 KK Device. Has no changes to it but i still get error with recompiling.

I can recompile secsettings.apk just fine though

Anyways i have attached a log file.

so what should i do about it mate
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Install some resource files before you decompile.

You probably need twframework-res.apk. Have a look at the instructions in the OP for further details.

i figured it out it won't recompile without the resources.arsc file being in the working framework-res folder. I put that file in there and it recompiled without errors.

Now when i made some changes to the code strings in the res values folder in framework-res i got my tablet to bootloop but i have fixed it already.

Thanks for your help!

Help in installing framework and decompiling SystemUI.apk

when i install the framework-res that is pulled from my phone it says installed to "D:/apktool/framework/1.apk" but when i decompile the SystemUI.apk it says "cannot find the needed id: 2. install framework" , thanks
[Android Themes] thedevilashish:
Does Not Work In Windows 7 32 Bit. Any Workaround??
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So you've installed '1.apk'. The error message is saying that you need to install 'id: 2'. So you need to install '2.apk'.

Look in your system/framework folder for any .apk files with 'res' in the filename. Pull, install, then try this decompile again.

To give you an example, the SystemUI.apk from the Sony Xperia Z3 needs framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk to be installed before it can be decompiled.

Yes, it does. The PC I'm using runs 32 bit Windows 7 and TMA works just fine.

What error are you getting?
[Android Themes] ValMaterialDesign:
tried installing the other one which is the mediatek-res (I'm using a mediatek device) but it wont install, OP this may sound like a silly question (sorry still a newbie at theming) do i need to decompile to edit a xml file? or can i do it by extracting it using 7 zip. and how can i install the second res file needed? thank you very much OP

Sent from my Q700S using the Force
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You do need to decompile, yes. If you extract the xml file using 7zip or similar, the text won't be readable.

To install the second apk file, you just need to use the install option. Since you said that you couldn't do that, can I ask you to do something for me?

Reset the tool, then try this fresh. Pull and install any file you have in system/framework with 'res' in the filename, then try decompiling your SystemUI.apk.

If it still doesn't work, share your 'history.txt'. As long as you reset TMA, that file should tell me all I need to know.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
What happened when you tried to install the 'mediatek-res.apk'?
[Android Themes] ValMaterialDesign:
i was wrong the error wasn't from installing, it's from extracting, the mediatek-res was in the framework folder of my phone but TMA cannot detect it

edit: i manage to decompile it and recompile properly :) thanks! ( i pulled the mediatek-res apk manually) but now my problem is that when i edit the clock color in status_bar.xml it does'nt work :( android 4.2.2

Sent from my Q700S
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
TMA couldn't detect the apk? What happened when you tried? (I'm happy that you were able to pull the file manually, I'm just curious if I need to fix something in the code..)

About your clock colour, can you share your modded and original xml please? And when you say it didn't work, did the apk FC? Or did the clock just stay the same colour as normal?
[Android Themes] ValMaterialDesign:
when i tried to pull it using TMA it said something like "error resources not found" (or something like that), then i pulled it manually from my phone and placed it in the in folder with the framework-res, i installed both and they installed without a problem, then i was able to decompile my SystemUI.apk and followed your guide in changing the clock color by adding a line in the status_bar.xml, after that i recompiled it and it recompiled without a problem. then i copied it on my phone, manually pushed it in the system/apps folder changed permissions and i reboot the phone, there were no problems with the recompiled apk, the clock color just didn't change, i will attach the original and the edited Xml files later OP for I'm at work. oh and thanks OP for helping out :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
If you're quoting code, please use the code tags as I've done above. It makes it a lot easier to read. :good:

So you've changed the colour of your clock to 'ffffffff'. What colour did you want to see? The ARGB code you've used is for white...

:eek:

It's up to you, but I always advise never to do this. You're replacing a fundamental part of the OS..while it's running.

Yes, it works but it won't always. I've had issues doing this that range from causing a bug that could only be fixed by reflashing the rom to causing a bug that makes my data partition wipe itself every boot...which couldn't be fixed at all. I had to get rid of a perfectly good tablet because of that one.

This is why Tickle My Android no longer lets people push apks back to their phone. Instead you've got the option of creating a flashable zip so you can replace the file before the OS has booted up.
[Android Themes] ValMaterialDesign:
sorry my bad, yes the color i chose was white because the clock color in my phone is the holo blue one but after i replace the SystemUI it's still blue :(. if i create a flashable zip should i just flash it straight in cwm?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Tickle My Lollipop?

​

It can't have escaped anyone's notice that we have a new version of Android to play with.

But we don't just like to play....we like to mod! So the question that should be on everyone's lips is...

And the answer is...well...no.

Or, at least, not yet. Here's why:

The file structure of Android 5.0 is a bit different to what's gone before so that means TMA won't be able to pull any files from system/app or system/priv-app.

It also means that TMA won't be able to create a flashable zip for those files either.

The wifi and signal icon both appear to be generated by code now (just like the battery icon in KitKat) so TMA won't be able to change those, unless you've modded your apk to use PNG images again.

You might not be able to deodex your apk files either. Or, to be more accurate, you might be able to...but I couldn't guarantee that the deodexed apk would actually work. Because Lollipop has moved away from Dalvik to ART, odex files are handled differently to normal and I'm not sure what would happen if they're deleted.

And the big one....Lollipop apk files might not actually decompile!

I can fix the first two issues fairly easily, the third is a matter of doing some smali modding...but the fourth and fifth are going to have to wait until Lollipop has been out for a while and we've had time to experiment with it.

So, for now, I'm not going to be updating TMA for Android 5.0. I'm going to wait, do some research, and ensure that Version 9.3 is

fully

compatible with Lollipop.

In the meantime, would you like some Lollipop goodness for your phone now? Then check out the attached files. I've attached the boot animation from the latest developer preview and the very latest softkeys.

TMA already has 'Android L' softkeys, but the new ones are different.. ;)

Just download, unzip into the 'user_files\BOOTANIMS' or 'user_files\ICONS\SOFTKEYS' folders...and enjoy!
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Yup, just flash it. Nothing complicated required. If you do that and your clock is still blue, it's worth looking at the style and changing that. Or looking at the smali for the clock.

You're setting a colour on the clock line so, if that colour isn't showing, there must be something that's overriding it..
[Android Themes] ValMaterialDesign:
thanks OP for helping :) but mostly thank you for creating TMA!! :)

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You need to look at the signal cluster and status icons lines in your status_bar.xml. It may just be a case of adjusting the padding.

As for the icons being semi-transparent, they don't seem to be. It may just be the effect of your wallpaper.

Try one with more of a pattern in it and see if the effect stays.

I am not sure if this will work for every one but I now have a note 4 (910w8) and what i did to change icons is took the icon resized (if needed) then renamed the extension to *.qmg put them where needed and recompiled this is the result. What would be nice is if somebody could make a program that would batch rename the ext to qmg just what i have done to the status bar was rename at least a 100 images.

Thanks for great tool ..

please i need help with this

i have LG P880 With jb 4.1.2 stock rom

and i want to change color font in settings.apk

what the xml must edit to change black color to another color .. and blue color to another

and where is the xml ?

in settings.apk or framework-res.apk .. or lg-res.apk

and how to be the text of toggles little down

sorry for bad english
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I was actually after the whole layout folder..

Removing those lines will certainly help the apk to recompile. Everything's pointing towards the file "caller_in_conference.xml" being missing from the layout folder. Quite why it's missing, I've no idea...

I hope you don't want to do a lot of conference calling!!

There will be a reference to the colour in the settings.apk. Whether that colour is actually defined in that apk or one of your resource apk files is a question I can't answer without seeing what that reference is.

A useful tool to use is in Notepad++. Use the Find In Files option to search your decompiled settings.apk for the string "WiFI" and it should hopefully give you a few ideas of where the relevant XML file is.

To move the toggle text is normally pretty simple. It just depends on your rom.

In my Xperia rom, there's an XML file in SystemUI.apk called "quick_settings_tile_wifi.xml" which looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:layout_gravity="top" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="top|center" android:id="@id/image" android:layout_width="@dimen/qs_tile_icon_size" android:layout_height="@dimen/qs_tile_icon_size" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/qs_tile_margin_above_icon" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/qs_tile_margin_below_icon" android:scaleType="centerInside" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/activity_in" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/ic_qs_wifi_in" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/image" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/image" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/activity_out" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/ic_qs_wifi_out" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/image" android:layout_alignBottom="@id/image" />
<TextView android:gravity="top|center" android:layout_gravity="top|center" android:id="@id/text" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/image" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" style="@style/TextAppearance.QuickSettings.TileView" />
</RelativeLayout>

If I wanted to move the text, I just need to edit that TextView line.

On your rom, I would imagine the XML is different. But the principle should be the same. Have a look in your SystemUI.apk or LGSystemUI.apk for the right XML.
