thank thebear

I'll do a test with systemui and managers twframework resolution without resolution

I recompile my rom then I flash

I tell you, if it works ok

I would be happy to see my mistake because this is really a great tool TMA

thank you

edit:

rom flashed with systemUI and managers-res, but still the same I have no icons, rocking, etc ...

ok but only to change 3minitbattery

I have to take the binary update file "user_files"?

I do not understand?

So your SystemUI.apk 3minit working with the mod? But you lost your icons? I think the problem is either with the mod you do, or how you do it. Can you share your "user_files \ Logs \ history.txt" and a screenshot of your phone with the modded SystemUI.apk please?

hi:laugh:

no change all my icons remains the original one I wanted to install icons "chrome"

here is my history.texte

Is there an apktool that works on LG yet? I'm wanting to deodex a stock 4.4.2 KK rom on an LG G3.

Thank you very much for making this tool, I hate using command line. :good:
[Android Themes] :
Anyone know how I would be able to change the color of the "No recent applications" text in the middle of the screen? I have been digging for hours and have found everything in for the recents panel but that lol thanks!
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
It could be in a couple of places. 1st open system UI, go to values folder and strings. Xml. Search that xml for whatever it says. Whatever string it is attached to, copy it to your clipboard. Now go to your layouts folder in systemui and open all the xml's. Search them all for that string you just copied. Should be in in 1 of those xml's. Like system bar no recent apps xml or something like that. If not do the same thing in framework or in your job manager apk or whatever it is called.

Found it exactly, changed the text color and flashing now

Edit: after changing the text color to red, the text is still white so I will have to take another look tomorrow then

Hello,

Thank you for this kitchen, but:

At recompile a system apk Lollipop how to sign or not sign My apk do not work despite no errors to recompile ?

Which way must it rebuild and sign?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Build with original signature. Then need to push or flash apk into correct folder in system

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] tdunham:
You have to use original signature unless framework modification is made to disable signature verification.

Edit: Ninja'd ;)
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Are you on newest TMA? Mine has it pre-installed I believe. But I think you have to rename the jar file in a certain format.

Re Hi,

I recompile with original signature and taken apktool v2.Samsung.Lollipop but apk does not work! (It's secContacts) I just changed the colors !!

Note: only works to replace files to 7zip
[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
Be careful with SecContacts. You need to modify in AndroidManifest.xml[FONT=&quot] file in your decompiled SecContacts:

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Code: [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]android:authorities="@string/file_provider_authorities"[/FONT]

to

[FONT=&quot]Code: [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]android:authorities="com.android.contacts.files"

After this, do your modds, recompile and it will work.

Good luck.

[/FONT]
[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
Just to answer to my own question: the problem was the name of the file. Apparently, TMA doesn't like "-", he likes "_" :). Problem solved.

Now my biggest problem is how to change the text color in these two tabs from black to white.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Evening all. I'm a bit too full of wine, ice-cream and sunburn to remember precisely what I did with the most recent version of TMA and I'm miles away from a computer, but I seem to recall that I took RC4 out of the most recent version. The SNAPSHOT version of Apktool is an updated version of RC4 so there didn't seem much point keeping it in there.

However, you can use your own versions of Apktool quite easily. All you have to do is name them correctly and put them into the user_files\APKTOOL\ folder. Run TMA and it will automatically detect which versions of Apktool you can use.

For more information, and help with renaming, have a look at the FAQ on the fourth post. Which I'm guessing doesn't get read very often...lol

If RC4 decompiles things that SNAPSHOT doesn't, please let me know as I'll need to feed it back to apktool's dev.

Hope everyone's having a nice time. I'm thinking of you all when I'm sitting on the beach with a tall glass of something cold and alcoholic.. Honest, I am! ;)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm. I'm sorry, I am having trouble understanding exactly what the problem is. I really should improve my knowledge of the French language!

Please reset the tool completely. Then pull, install and decompile all the files that you've used. Make your changes. Recompile and share your new history.txt if the mod still isn't working.

What version of Android are you using?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Interesting. What version of Apktool is that using?

What resource files have you installed?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks, Carl. I'll have a look and update TMA next week as needed. :highfive:
[Android Themes] carl1961:

Re Hello,

[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
Sorry to hear that.

Try this tool and see if its working.

Good luck.

With Adv Apktool by BDFreak I used apktool_2.0.0_rc4 and I installed only the framework-res.apk
[Android Themes] tdunham:
SecContacts in Lollipop is special. When you change androidmanifest.xml you want to keep changes to this file. So pick option:

1 - Recompile app without signing

Then extract the meta-inf folder from the ORIGINAL contacts apk and insert it into the recompiled version with 7zip (I think you said you are using 7zip).

Note: Do not replace androidmanifest.xml only meta-inf folder.

This will keep your change to androidmanifest.xml. Remember I spoke of making change to framework file to disable signature check? This is a perfect example of breaking rom signatures because we modified androidmanifest.xml so one more file modification may be necessary but it is a simple one.

Look at the guide here to modify services.jar. It is an old thread but still works:

Strange. I'm not near a PC right now but could you possibly share your apk's please? If the SNAPSHOT apktool isn't working, it's worth letting the apktool dev know about it.

If you're able to do a logcat as well, that'd be great.

I think TMA could do with a logcat option. Hmm..

Yes, you do! Very nice! :good:

Yeeesss...I think I'll stick with Xperia, to be honest. Samsung just mess around too much.

[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
Tanky you for taking your time to help me.

Here is attached the stock deodexed SecContacts_NoteBanded.apk..

I cannot tale any logcat because when I press the phone icon it tells me that the app is not installed. If I look in /system/priv-app/SecContacts_NoteBanded/ the apk from here doesn't have the usual contacts icon. It has the android icon. If I click on it, it tells me that has some errors in parsing the file.

Best regards.
[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
So, no one knows how can I change this text from black to white?

Thank you.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
No idea. Sorry. Probably a text color in seccontacts.apk.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] DarkAngel:
It's in an XML edit in the APK. I did this to SystemUI or framework once before to get the dark background and white text for a Note 4 Port I had. If I can find where to look I will let you know..... unless someone beats me to it.

If I recall you go to the /res/values folder and then go into styles.xml unless it's changed.
[Android Themes] :
Anyone know where to find the color of the screenshot animation of the white border around the screen that pops up? Dying to change that, thanks!
[Android Themes] Ryno1982:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all million types of the "android foreground" xml hexes responsible for texts? I would personally look there first. Also, did you edit framework-res first? I ended up with black on black all over my rom on my first try just editing framework-res.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Not necessarily. Google has started replacing bgs with those android foreground nonsense. Usually corresponds to an xml in drawable. Text would most likely be found in styles.xml which will either point you to parent theme from framework, a call to colors.xml, but 9 times out of 10 in Samsung apps you should look in the colors folders.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] :
Ok, I will look in framework for the pngs. Hopefully they aren't .9s but what about clipboards?
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
That's their names. Tw clipboard cut, copy, etc I believe. They shouldn't be 9s. And there are probably more than 1. Probably in each folder. I'd prefer 9s, so much more fun to work with.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] :
What is your method for editing them? Like what programs do you use and stuff?? Because they are tricky
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I use paint net. Just magnify the 9 as large as you can so you can see the black patches. Then edit the image inside as much as you like. I prefer working with 9s over regular images.

What is the trick? With apk S5 Lollipop impossible to have a color change in a xml that works on both sides SystemUI apk! I changed service.jar to avoid checking signature.j 've tested all methods of signing but nothing despite no error to recompile the apk !!

There would not be an accurate PURPOSE how to compile without errors for Lollipop?

Thank you in advance

No trick with systemui. Only with contacts. Need to rebuild using original signature.

What is the trick with contacts? That is the next app in going to theme
[Android Themes] Alan-B:
Re Hi,

Ok, but...

In recompile menu, use:

not to sign

Original signature

New signing ??

Or copy the signature of the original apk , after not signed

Sorry but I have compiled more than 500 apk android 4.4.2 without problems but with Lollipop always difficult .. .
[Android Themes] tdunham:
I was pretty clear on compiling contacts.

1. Make change to android.manifest.xml

How To Recompile TW Contacts/Phone Without Errors

2. Compile WITHOUT signing, option #1

3. Copy over original meta-inf folder.

4. May have to disable signature verification in services.jar due to signature change to contacts.

If this does not work, state the exact results.

Try posting in above thread for help. State your phone and android version, its highly likely someone has already done this modification.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
If you are talking systemui, build keeping original signature. If you are referring to contacts follow tdunham's guide he posted.

Thebear j koss how would I change the toast fonts? Bc the tw toast don't is nice and thin but the system one is thick and bold. I'm not home to check the values folder but nothing came up anywhere else. I guess I'll cheb there when I get home but how could it would I change it? Thanks :)
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
In styles.xml wherever the toast bgs are located should be the toast text as well. Color, size, and style of font will all be there. If you want to make it bold change where it says normal to bold.

If it's not specified there it would be in layouts. Need to find the xml in layouts folder that has toast messages in it. Again would just change where it says text appearance normal to bold.

[Android Themes] tdunham:
Please look in data/log/dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz for force close error or use logcat to generate dump and look in there for force close error.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, I'm not 100% on this but if you are getting a f/c it is not an apktool issue but most likely an issue with your edits. As was stated before, need some sort of log to see what is causing the problem...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] tdunham:
See my reply above. Pull the error log from data/log or use logcat and search the text file for the word 'fatal' and it will indicate the force close error.

Edit: The TickleMyAndroid history logs will not provide you the info you need for force close errors. It is only useful for compiling problems.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
What tdunham said. Pull the log off your phone using catlog or another log reader, right after the f/c or error occurs.

True, true. Tickle My Android will just tell you if your APK files de/recompiled correctly.

Actually...that's not true. Not anymore.

I've just uploaded 10.3 to Mediafire. This is a minor update, but now TMA can make logcats for just this sort of occasion!

To make a logcat, simply use the "ADB Menu" option on the first screen and take it from there. Logcats are stored in "user_files\LOGS\".

I have to confess I'm no expert at reading logcats but they should prove useful when something de/recompiles without any issue but keeps FC'ing.

Head to the OP now to download! :laugh:

Enjoy!

It's taken a while but [MENTION=3924617]iBotPeaches[/MENTION], the developer of Apktool, has put the finishing touches to Apktool v2.0.0!!

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
No big deal, installing a new apktool into TMA is easy enough. I'm lazy and dumb but I can follow simple instructions. Lol. It's nice having all the available apktools 1 click away, the old way of renaming and keeping track of which is which is tiresome. I switch between 1.5.2 and the newest a lot, so the 1 click switch is perfect for me.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
1.5.2. needs to stay. At least until every smali mod on xda uses updated files, which is unlikely.

We probably still need the SlimROM versions as well.

But it's 1.5.0. and the Samsung version that I'd like to get rid of. They don't take up much space, I'm just fussy like that!

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Send me your 9 png both edited and stock. I will check them for you tonite. It may look like you haven't touched the borders but even if you extend into what needs to be a transparent space or you even touch the black border just a touch, it breaks the whole apk. Try to keep the image the same exact size and shape of the original image. Don't extend beyond. I edit 9s all the time. Best way to check is to magnify the image as large as it can go and look around the borders for any change to the black border or even a pixel extending into what needs to be transparent space....

[Android Themes] Dzepar:
When i edit 9.png in Paint.net i make 2 layers. 1 is where I left black borders and delete everything else, second layer is where i delete black borders and make my changes (usually blocking out :D), after finish merger layers and save. I don't merger layers when i make some transparency because it's applying transparency to the black border layer, so press Save, choose png in popup, save, replace and then merge. I haven't had problem (for now) with 9.pngs. You have draw9patch in sdk/tools which allows you to draw borders on pngs and shows you bad borders.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I haven't tried paint.net. I use a piece of freeware called Pixelformer.

It's a bit obscure, and hardly as powerful as Photoshop, but it's surprisingly effective. If I'm editing a .9.PNG, I just don't touch the pixel-thick border around the outside of the image.

Haven't had any issues so far..
