Right, I've given this a try and it seems to install and decompile your files without any trouble. I've included the modded apktool in version 9 but for now you just need to do a few things to be able to use it with v8.

Download the zip from: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/1151-development/8866-apktool-install-windows-1-5-3-kitkat-trds-3-0

Inside that is a collection of files but all you need is the 'aapt' and 'apktool.jar' files. Extract them, rename apktool to 'apktool_1.SlimRoms.KitKat.jar' and copy the files into the 'tool_files' folder of TMA.

Then run the tool and select that modded apktool in the settings menu. Now you'll be able to mod your apks. :)

Probably 'zzz_status_bar_gemini.xml'. That's a common file in roms by your OEM. It's not a stock Android file. But if you have any doubt, there's no harm in editing both.. :D

That is...weird... Which version of apktool were you using?

I've never used safe strap so I've no idea how it works. If it lets you flash zips, then you probably can flash these mods with it. Make a backup, try it out and let me know! :)

The zips made by TMA won't touch your bootloader, unless you've specifically made a zip to do so.

I'm not sure I understand this. Have you got full, Administrator privileges?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Tickle My Android version 9 is coming along nicely. After what feels like hundreds of man hours spent coding, mouse control has been fully implemented. Imagine being able to decompile your files with just a few clicks. It's fantastic, I tell you!

And that's not the only change I've made...

I should be able to upload the next beta for the beta testers tomorrow. Provided all goes well, I should be able to release the public version very soon.. :)
[Android Themes] glfsd:
of course tickle 8.1 with apktool 2.0.0b7 (but I also tried with 1.5.2)
[Android Themes] steha:
[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] slim apktool works great so far thank you very much.
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Hmm...I'm sorry that I don't know what is administrator privileges. How can I activate it ? :confused:
[Android Themes] carl1961:
right click your application and run as administrator
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Can you share your files please?

I did a little research into this and it looks like it's caused by LG making their apk's in a non-standard way. Apparently apktool 2 can fix it but since it hasn't, I may need to let the dev of apktool know about it.

Have you tried with 'apktool 2.0.0b9'?

Excellent! :D
[Android Themes] glfsd:
lgsetting+framework+lge-res

I've never tried with apktool 2.0.0b9
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thank you.

I've tried decompiling and recompiling your apk with 'apktool 2.0.0b9' and this problem doesn't happen. Guess the dev of apktool fixed it. ;)
[Android Themes] glfsd:
I tried it (apktool 2.0.0b9) now, but the problem has come back again (decompiling, recompiling, decompiling) :confused:

View attachment 2621819
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmmm...not quite the same problem but I see what you mean. The quote marks change from original to modded apk. I'll report this to apktool's dev and see what he suggests.

Does the apk still install?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So..not quite then! lol

I've posted about this on the apktool thread. Watch this space!
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Can you share your original code and a screenshot please?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've reported this issue and it should hopefully be fixed in the next version of apktool.
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
i'm sorry, sir. the issue is done. but i have other question :D

why my icon looks like this? position is not right in the middle, is more on top of the other icons. how to fix it, sir?
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Well, I figured out what was the problem and I fixed that problem. The problem and fixing part is quite funny actually, and I'm going to tell you the story now.

First, I uninstalled the old TMA and installed the new TMA. At this time, I click into the android icon and tried to decompile, it works ! So I scratched my head and I found out that the problem was I pulled the android icon to the desktop away from the TMA folder. And I think this causes it cannot find TMA.lnk. So now I pulled the icon back to TMA Folder, and it works again.

So it's kinda funny. :P
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
There are a few possible reasons why you're getting this. Can you share your original code and your modded code please? I will need to see what precisely you've changed.

I've had this issue before with modding my own phone so I suspect I know what the problem is...

Aha!!

Well, thank goodness for that! I was going crazy trying to figure out what was going on! :laugh:
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
It was really funny, really really really funny ! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Android Themes] XperiaCrazy:
Just a suggestion..

Have you considered including the version number maybe in the program itself or in a "version.txt"?

It would be easier for us to know which version we're using at a glance, which aids in reporting issues/bugs
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
Check credits section.

also the title always tells you what version you use.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
The version number is also in the history.txt, which you should be using when reporting issues and bugs.

That said, I certainly have no objection to making it more obvious. I'm always open to suggestions!

I might put the version number in the top right of the screen..hmm..

Version 9 is now in beta-testing so I'll add it to the latest beta and see how it looks..

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]

I can't seem to access the credits section. It flashes and goes back to the main menu. Is it a bug?

Yes, title does say the latest version, but that does not necessary mean that I'm using the latest version right? I only check back this thread once in a while
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Once version 9 is released, I'll be starting work on TML, the Linux version of Tickle My Android.

The goal is to get the Linux version as close to the Windows version as possible. Watch this space!

It might be a bug. Ironically, it depends which version you're on!

You can always find the latest version in the op if you're not sure whether you're on it or not.

I replied to your previous post about including the version number in the tool..
[Android Themes] XperiaCrazy:
The bug occurs in TMA 8.1.3
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
note:

the icon changes position be like that only when I connected to wifi. if not, everything is fine, sir.

What do you need, sir?? status_bar.xml only?? or any xml else?

thank's before , sir.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Doesn't occur in v9.0 though. :) Issue has now been fixed.

Thank you for pointing this out! :good:

So far just your status_bar.xml.

TICKLE MY ANDROID NEEDS

YOU

!!​

Tickle My Android 9.0, the greatest, fastest, most powerful version of The Worlds Best Theming Tool, is nearly complete.

It's taken a long time, lots of head-scratching and a massive amount of shouting at the code on the screen to JUST WORK DAMN YOU!!

But we're nearly there. The latest beta has been sent to the beta-testers, the new strings have been sent to the translators and I'm putting the finishing touches to the new icons.

And I need your help.

There are nearly 200 different icons now available in Tickle My Android...and that's far more than I can show in these posts. So I'm having to do something different and I don't have much time to do it.

Is there anybody out there with some artistic skills who can help out? In return you'll get to join the Elite band of beta-testers (offically the greatest people in the world) and you'll get your name in the credits so everybody can see just how wonderful you are!

Let me know!
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
What kind of help do you want?

Making icon previews?

or what?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That's it exactly, yes. I'm going to rewrite the OP to make it a bit easier to understand how to use this tool and what it can do.
[Android Themes] XperiaCrazy:
Good to hear that it is fixed. Thanks for the great work! :)
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
oke sir . this is my stock & mod status bar (attachment)

TMA v9 ?? i can't wait :D
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
There's nothing obvious in your xml..can you share your 'signal_cluster_view.xml' please?

And yes, version 9...mouse control, baby!
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
yes of course, sir :D

is there any planning to make "TMA for Android", sir :victory: ?
[Android Themes] Josiah_07:
I got this error when recompiling my framework-res.apk. I am using Mediatek MT6572, this error occur when i'm trying to make transparent my status bar.. Please help me with this I'll attach my log, framework-res.apk, and my SystemUI.apk below.
[Android Themes] carl1961:
Ticklefish, what about doing animated giff's to show your stuff

I used free photoscape to make animated gif of your icons , you can speed up if any or to slow.

examples:

BlackAndroid Emotions

Blue EMOTICONS

SteelBlue_by_TeamCarbon Signal

countdownandroid BOOTANIMATIONS
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm...I installed Photoscape the other day but I haven't had the opportunity to play with it until now.

I think you'll find that your name is now in the credits in version 9... :D
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Er...what error? And where are your attachments?

I think your post may be missing things... ;)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Don't worry about it, every single member here was new at some point. :D

This error is saying that you're missing a layout called 'keyguard_transport_control'.

Or, to put it another way, you're missing a file in your layout folder called 'keyguard_transport_control.xml'.

This could be caused by you needing to install another resource file before you decompile your framework-res.apk. Have a look in your 'system/framework' folder on your phone and see if you have any other files with 'res' in the filename.

It's also worth trying your decompile and recompile with 'apktool_2.0.0b9.jar'. It's the most recent version which might help.

Let me know how you get on!
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
sorry, sir. Do you have installed all of the framework to PC? I'm MediaTek user too for now.

Try to find all "APK" files in system / framework, copy the files into the folder "_in" in TMA path, then install them (I install framework-res.apk, MediaTek-res.apk, theme-res.apk) .

and, try to decompile apk again.

I'm sorry, sir. maybe you give the same code, sir?

I think there was no difference of both :confused:
[Android Themes] carl1961:
Ticklefish the code in both boxes or identical I checked with compare tool
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I'll add MediaTek-res.apk to the presets in the pull menu in v9. That should help in future..

Have I just copied and pasted without making any changes? That's really bad.. Sorry about that, I'll sort it out as soon as I can.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Okay...looks like I moved too fast last time and I posted the modded code twice..lol

Try the code above. It should help but if not I have some other things to try..
[Android Themes] carl1961:
LOL same code again
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Yup. This is the code I suggested was worth trying. :)

I cannot find those xml, maybe my device not supported it or doesn't included it. I am using MT6572 Chipset running on UBIFS system. I'll try the apktool_2.0.0b9.jar later. Thank you for helping sir :)
[Android Themes] glfsd:
hello tickle, nothing for me? anything new? ;)
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
If your following a guide about this mod or theme your trying to do then you need to get all files included. The error is because in a xml you added/changed its calling for a layout that is not in your layouts folder..

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

You have go through the errors it's giving you in the smali and delete those lines..

So first error is BrightnessSlider$1.smali lines 24.. ".parameter"

Then line 39 and 40 as well;)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Use apktool 1.5.2 to decompile and recompile.

Apktool 2 is amazing but it's not compatible with some old smali files.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
This has been fixed in the next version of apktool.

Of course, that's not out yet..
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
yes, sir. no problemo.

Although I do not see the difference between the two codes above, I tried in my xml because I was curious. And the result is still the same, sir.

You've got another suggestion, sir? Probably from *. Png files, or perhaps from other xml files?

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
What phone have you got?
[Android Themes] hugoqueiroz94:
Xperia Live With Walkman
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
CWM doesn't work completely on Xperia phones on ICS. That's why your phone isn't recognised while it's in recovery. You need to put your modded files into a zip file and flash it.

I'm just waiting for someone to finish their work on one of the programs that TMA uses before I release version 4.0. This has zip file creation built in.
[Android Themes] hugoqueiroz94:
Ok, thanks man, i will wait.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I'll upload it soon. If you have any flashable zip file on your phone, you could always just edit that and put your new modded files in.

Instal android installer=FINISH

Help?:banghead::confused:
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Can you share those error codes? In a text file, if you can. They'll give a guide to what's going wrong.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
'cd' is a basic MS-DOS command. If your computer doesn't recognise it, then something's not right with your setup.
[Android Themes] Hullie NL:
i have the codes...only for a pm it is too large !!

:laugh:
[Android Themes] Hullie NL:
oke here you go...file included
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That's fine. I'd rather do it here anyway just in case anyone else has the same problem.

This is a 'multiple substitutions' error, which is basically because you're running ICS. Version 4 should have full ICS-compatibility.

New Version Out Now!

Tickle My Android v9.0 is here!!

Finally the world can enjoy the very latest in decompiling and recompiling awesomeness!

Head to the OP now and get ready to find out just how good using TMA with a mouse can be!
[Android Themes] iPusak Gaoq™:
Let me be the first to congrats to you for your latest work....keep it up....

i just downloaded v9.0 and extract it where it should be....it open fine and don't have any problem decompiling and recompiling any apk....but there one bug i notice in latest version....that is the Mouse Enable....it seems that it doesn't work properly on my pc especially then i try to install framework, clear all folder and etc....its either un-clickable or it will open other option that what i suppose to do...normal operation work fine but not the Mouse Enable....

i'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32x SP 1....
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Uh-oh.. Can you give a specific example please?

The mouse control relies on a third-party tool which should work on any version of Windows. In theory..

And thanks for the congratulations. It's really appreciated. TMA takes a lot of time and it's always good to know people enjoy it.
[Android Themes] iPusak Gaoq™:
Example?

okay...when i try clicking << install framework on pc >> it does nothing...if i click << main Menu >> after that, random option will appears like << explore working folder >> or << change statusbar transparency >> or etc.... if i try clicking << change statusbar transparency >> another option << pull files from device >> will appears...once i enter that option i cannot goes back into main menu...it will stay in that option no matter if i click on << main menu >> or << theming menu >>....if have to close TMA and relaunch it and disable the Mouse if i want to use TMA....

also can i suggest moving the log folder to the main folder menu for easy excess? it will be much easy to click on the log folder in the main folder menu rather than have to click user_files/logs just to see the logs....
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm...okay, I'll take a look at the code and see what's going on. So if you're in the Theming Menu and you click on an option, you get another one instead? Is it still one from the Theming Menu?
[Android Themes] iPusak Gaoq™:
yes...if i'm in theming menu and i click an option, i will get different option instead....once i enter that option, it really hard to go back to the main menu cause clicking main menu at the bottom does work properly and clicking theming menu will me it jump to another option again....
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Does it work when you're on the main menu?
[Android Themes] iPusak Gaoq™:
Main menu work fine....only theming menu (and every option inside it) i got this kind of problem....
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've been through the code and I've tested my copy on Windows 7 but I can't replicate the issue or see what's causing it.

But I'm the sort of person who doesn't give up that easily!

I'll be uploading an updated version in a little while. This resets the mouse location values to 0,0 before taking the new location. I wouldn't have thought it'd make any difference as the values should change everytime the location is taken but it's worth a shot.

I've also added a feature that will show the location at the top of the screen if you change something in the settings. It's not in the Settings Menu, you have to go into the 'tool_files\rewrite\settings' folder to do it as it's for debugging only but it should help me work out what's going on if you still have this problem.

The connection speed here isn't very fast so I haven't uploaded it yet. I'll let you know when I have!
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
And now I have!

Download from the link in the op and, if you're still having problems, head to 'tool_files\rewrite\settings\' and rename 'MouseTestOff' to 'MouseTestOn'. This will display the location that you clicked in.

Could you please let me know the row and column that's displayed, what you clicked on and what you actually got?

That way I can hopefully figure out precisely what's going on and get it fixed.
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
sir, i have a questions.

How to make the size of the icons that automatically change according to the size of the status bar? Is it possible / not?

Or I did have to manually resize the icon first before inserting into the status bar ??
[Android Themes] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...i have redownloaded TMA and reinstall it....i follow the step by renaming MouseTest ON.....so here is my feedback.....first of all i enable mouse control in settings....then i goes to theming menu and try to install framework....it doesn't do anything, it doesn show which row and column when i click it....if i click on <<take screen shot of devices>> i got row =52, column 24 which is << Error,No app found within _"working" foulder>>

now when i click other option is theming menu, it does nothing...but if i click at a black space (below main nemu) i got row =52, column =21 which is "error, no suitable files found in _"working" folder....
