It is well known that 99% of things here will trip so called security programs. This is why most dont even bother with them as they really dont do alot and can be bypassed easy enough. So most dont even bother with it. Heck I have not had any anti virus on my pc since windows 98

As for your issue with the mod. If you signed the systemui apk them you already messed up as you are not suppose to sign those apks.
[Android Themes] servanteternal:
Cool. Now it works properly. Used the command line for everything except adding/modifying files in the apk. :)

I was looking at a certain program's logs and was wondering why the guy didn't sign the apk files, now I know.

Many thanks

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll stick with the command line and leave Bitdefender the way it is. I rarely need to/want to mod apk files so every now and then, I don't mind getting down and dirty and firing up the old cmd.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I'm glad you got it working. Why the icon doesnt change, I've sadly no idea. Perhaps you need to restart the phone to force the change to take place?

I've been considering writing a deodexing guide. I'm short on time right now and I no longer have the free time I had to do this sort of thing. But I'll add it to my list of things to do when I get a chance. :)

The scrolling navbar mod doesn't use smali so it can be done on an odexed or deodexed rom..

Apktool 2.2.3 is out

https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/changes/
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
On Nexus 5x Android O, 8.0.0

Using the new Apktool I can decompile and recompile framework-res.apk but not SystemUI.apk. First I had to fix a ninepatch in drawables then on the next pass it failed on building resources it throws an error of

(number here varies everytime): First type is not attr!

Then "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way"

Edit: Exact same errors on Pixel Android O 8.0.0
[Android Themes] edzamber:
Try to Remove 9png from drawable folder, recompil then re-add 9png by drag and drop with 7zip into recompiled SystemUI.apk
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
Gave it a try but got the same error.

Edit:. Tried to decompile then recompile SettingsGoogle.apk and got the same error.
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
I cloned Apktool this morning and the results show a version number of 2.2.4-acb004-SNAPSHOT when used. I did still get the same errors though.

Edit:. My knowledge in this area is little. I did make an observation on Android O. Everything in resources.arsc app wise (not framework-res.apk) is done in alphabetical order, including public.xml. attr has always been first in public.xml in the past but now anim is first and are given the id numbering scheme that used to go to attr 0x7f01***. attr is now getting the numbering scheme that used to go to layouts 0x7f04***. Could Apktool be saying that it cannot recompile because attr is not being given the normal public identifier of 0x7f04 and first in line in public.xml?

Edit:. Deleted public.xml and it recompiled just fine! Yea!

Edit:. However all smali files are using wrong IDs
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thank you!

I'll add it to the EXE file when I get a chance. I changed job 3 weeks ago and I no longer have access to my old work computer so it may be a few days though.

Still..this new job has much better pay so it won't be long before I can afford a decent computer for home and I can update more frequently.

That does mean I'll have to remind myself what the latest processors are though. A 386 DX is better than an SX, right? :cool:

Oh, for new users, you can add new versions of Apktool to Tickle My Android yourself. Just add it to the USER_FILES\APKTOOL folder and change it in the settings menu.

Have a look at the fourth post in this thread for more information and feel free to ask for help if you need. I may be busy but TMA users are Awesome People and I want to keep you happy!

Yeah, I generally advise not deleting public.xml for exactly that reason.

I see that you've reported this on the apktool thread. Hopefully we'll have a solution soon.

Hi,

I recently went from Marshmallow with XPOSED to Nougat. That's why I looked for a way to mod my android and found here what I was looking for 1 week!

My config is :

Nexus 5x

Nougat 7.1.2

EXKernel 4.02

TWRP 3-1-1-0

I've downloaded your tool yesterday and gave it a try.

I've first made a mistake of not integrate framework-res and integrate systemui to my zip file and after that my notification bar and home bar were gone! Even though I made an advanced ZIPfile, I couldn't flash the backup zip. (error came along). I didn't made a backup since I just upgraded last week and already got one.

I tried to integrate simplecircle battery again today (both pushing framework-res.apk in TWRP or flashing) but every time there is problem :

I've got corrupted device error, no change in battery icon or notification bar and home bar disappear.

This is how I do :

Pull framework-res

Decompile

Add Battery 75 (simple circle) / I've tried both ways (explorer copying or in Tickle My Android)

Recompile and sign (I've tried 2 (Same signature) and 4 (Android 7+).

Add to zip (system\framework) (Both Advanced and simple)

Flash to TWRP and reboot to system.

I think I'm doing it right but don't know what is the problem : would you help me resolve it?

Thanks
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Keep original signature. Can't sign system apps.

—————Who am I doing this for, hey me or you? ————
[Android Themes] tdunham:
It is no longer feasible to replace stock battery icons.

You must remove/hide stock battery and replace with something like 3minit battery mod by [MENTION=4619873]gharrington[/MENTION].

Edit:

And see previous post from da bear about modifying system apps for use on MM & Nougat.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Further to the other replies, to change your battery icon you need to decompile your SystemUI.apk..and it has to be modified to use image files for the battery icon. Since KitKat the battery icon is generally generated by code so changing it is no longer as simple as it used to be. There are mods available which can force it to use image files again, like it used to in earlier versions of Android, or you can use things like 3minit to just replace the normal battery icon with another one.

I'll have to update the code so TMA shows a warning if people try to change the battery icon. I'll add it to the list for the next version.

If you have issues with a modified app and you didn't make a backup, you can flash the original app from the "_in" folder. There's an option in the ZIP menu to add files from that folder.

Oh, and if you need help with using TMA, please share your history.txt. That's got a lot of the information that I'd need to help you. :)
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
Follow this guide

https://xdaforums.com/android/themes/how-to-change-battery-icon-kitkat-rom-t2919361#login

If that proves too difficult, I have a thread on xda Nexus 5x forum. You can install one of the batteries in my Aroma installer then swap out those icons for the simple circle ones. The guide above is what I used though, and it works.

Hello everyone I need help

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
About your first problem, it doesn't look like it stops Java from working. I think it's happening because you have two semi-colons together in your PATH:

C:\Program Files\Broadcom\Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter;;

As for the second issue, I can't see any mention of your SystemUI.apk being decompiled or recompiled in that history so I can't say what's happened to it.

It might be worth trying with the latest version of apktool. Have a look at some of the recent posts to see how to get it.

I'm planning to update TMA with the latest apktool and an updated translation file tomorrow. I'll finally have some free time!

Hi,

Is it possible to change the system animations with your application?

There are many zips/mods with custom animations (bounce, flip, flyin, fold,...) for all android versions, but cant find one for Nougat. So I wanne try for making one. I'm not an expert, but I have basic knowledge about de-compile, re-compile, zip's, ...

Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G930F met Tapatalk
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You should be able to, sure. Just decompile your SystemUI.apk and have a look in the res/anim/ folder.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Ok, I'm new here. Thanks for this excellent app.

First a question. When I installed the app on Windows 10, all alarm bells were ringing and Windows eliminated instantly the zip file. Second time I was faster and got it extracted. Windows again removed the zip file and the exe file in the extracted folder. Is this normal. I had to disable the defender.

Now to my problem. After installing the framework.apk, I decompiled the systemUI, just to change the value for rounded corner from 4.0 to 20.0. Recompiled everything and put the systemUI back to its original place in system/private.

Rebooted the phone. Look screen gone and no systemUI. Everything else working . What did I wrong.

Thanks for helping out.

Can you share your history.txt please? You'll find it in the user_files folder and it'll hopefully give me all the information I need to help you out. :good:
[Android Themes] quincho54:
I had to do it again. I was a little bit frustrated. Here is the history file.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Did you sign the recompiled apk? Did you set permissions correctly after putting back recompiled apk?
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Yes, I signed it with the original and yes permission was set as needed.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I'm not seeing any sign that you installed your framework files in this. Did you definitely install them?
[Android Themes] quincho54:
The application did it.

But I can try the whole process again.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Here we go again. I did all over again.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
System apps need to be built with original signature. Do not sign system apps unless you have signature verification disabled.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
I sought that I signed it with the original signature. Or maybe I didn't understand something wrong. It's the first time I'm using this program.

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------

I tried it again with no singing, the same result.

Beside this, can anybody tell me where to get a clean exe file. Windows said the exe file has an Trojaner on-board. I really grateful for your help.
[Android Themes] Androidwizzard:
In Nougat you need both samsung-framework and framework-res to be installed.

Put TMA into a separate folder like "tools" (whatever name you prefer) where you may store all apk and kitchen stuff and exclude the whole folder from windows defender check :highfive:
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Thanks a lot. Will do so.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Just one more question. The framework and framework res. Do they need to be decompiled or only to be installed.
[Android Themes] Androidwizzard:
samsung-framework and framework-res (both apk!) need to be installed first after launch of this excellent tool
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Got it. Thanks a lot. I hope you don't mind, if there is some trouble, that I come again with questions. I still feel like I'm walking blind.....
[Android Themes] quincho54:
So I did it all over again several times, unsigned,signed and signed with the original signature. framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk properly installed. SystemUI.apk decompiled. Changed in working folder SystemUI/res/values/dimens just one number from

<dimen name="recents_task_view_rounded_corners_radius">4.0dip </dimen>

In the same, but the number changed to 20.0dip

Recompiled the SystemUI.apk and put it back were I took it from. In my case, system/private.

Reboot in twrp, clean cache and dalvik and new start.

Everything works, but there is no SystemUI.

So, can anybody tell me what went wrong.....

Is there something missing or did I do something wrong???
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:

Try this, using 7zip or something similar, drag the resources.arc from new APK into old APK
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Sorry,I didn't understand this. Where I find resources.arc and what us new and old apk. I told you guys, I'm pretty new whit this, so there is still some knowledge missing....
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
New apk is your recompiled apk, old is the original apk. Resources.arc is the file in the apk that contains the change you made in dimensions.xml. Resources.arc is the compressed and coded file that contains all the xml's in the values folders... Using any zip archiver like 7zip or winrar open the apks, do not unzip them.Locate the resources.arc file in your recompiled apk to the original overwriting the 1 in the original. Close the apks and try installing the original with your new resources.arc
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Got it. Will do so. Thanks a lot for now. Lets hope that it will work.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
So, I did as I was told. No success. If you want check the screenshot. Maybe you find something.

What I have seen that in the new apk were not all the files as in the old one.

First I did it the way you told me. Result: black screen, then I took the missing files from the old apk and copied them in the new apk. Again no success.

Yes it work. The only thing is, I don't see rounded corners.

Maybe the Rom Dev. misunderstood me. What I wanted was, cutting the corners, for example, the notifications and so on.

So, what you think went wrong on my side????

---------- Post added at 04:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

Forgot to say Thank you for your help. If you have an idea how to change the corner.... it would be great, if you could help me
[Android Themes] nguyentankiet:
In your mention, you want corner taskview, not notifications. Please show screenshot recent app after install my file
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Oh, yes it looks super.

But it means, that, where ever you want round corners, it has to be separate. I'm right ?

Could you make this for the notification too. I would really appreciate it.

Here the screenshot....
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Is there somewhere another link for downloading the version 14.4.0 and the boot animations. Windows is driving me nuts with it's warnings. I excluded it from windows defender and renamed it. But it get always erased. The exe file in the folder and the zip file in the download folder.

Anyway, I did everything by the book, not even once I was successful.

Please would anybody help me out.
[Android Themes] nguyentankiet:
Disable Defender before extact TMA. Then excluded it
[Android Themes] quincho54:
I did this too. Disabled the defender, renamed the Tickle my .... pulled the framework-res and twframework-res and installed them, decompiled the systemUI , changed all the rounded corners, recompiled the systemUI with the original signature and put it back in system/private. Still the same.

There must be something wrong somewhere.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've been reading through the recent posts. If your APK works when you decompile and recompile but doesn't when you modify it, there's probably something wrong with the modification you're doing...

Try using a smaller number. It's not impossible that your mod is making the app FC.

By the way, folks, there's a new version of Apktool available! I'll update the EXE with it as soon as I can but you can all download it from here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73219384&postcount=4936

Thank you for getting back to me. I was able to finally do it with 2.2.4. A friend of mine pointed out that I had to delete a line in the android manifest. Problem is when I flashed it nothing happened. Just my regular hangouts so now I don't know how to get my the themed one in there.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
See if you can uninstall updates in settings. You either have stock installed or you flashed using an incorrect zip.
[Android Themes] mash4077fan:
Holy cow I can't believe Bear answered me. Hope things are well with you. Well I don't see the option to uninstall updates. I have the stock one in there and there is no option to uninstall it. I guess it could be the zip. How do I know if it is incorrect zip and how can I fix that.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
What's up buddy? What android build are you on? Also with a file explorer look at how and where hangouts is installed. Marshmallow and after apps flashed to system go system/app/app-name/apk structure or system/priv-app/app-name/apk. You can create a flashable zip directly with TMA.

I just need a screenshot of that confirmation that your battery icons have changed.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That shouldn't be a problem. Being in drawable-mdpi, your phone should scale them to suit an mdpi display. But even so, the actual files should still show up in your _working folder.
