Hi.

The feature of making logs in 4.3 is great. Just that when it's turned on those logs are not showed on screen. Can't it be done that it gets shown and logged at the same time?

EDIT: Btw, I notice that when the META-INF folder is copied from the original to the recompiled file. The system rejects the apk saying that something with the Android-manifest.xml is wrong. What I do is I copy only the changed files (.xmls, .pngs, .dex) from the recompiled file to the original back after backing up the original ofcourse. This always work. I keep the original manifest file as it is. Just pointing out my observations. Hope it helps. Thanks. :)
[Android Themes] danialnab:
why i get this error on v4.3

v 3.0 works fine but 4.3!!
[Android Themes] HammDroid:
Is because it's not installed on your C drive.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
The zip file option is on the main menu. :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
It's to do with how MS-DOS works. You can output to screen, or to a file, but not both at the same time. :(

But if you have the logs turned on, it does output them to the screen if a file doesn't de/recompile properly.

About your AndroidManifest, does it change in your new file?
[Android Themes] AmmarGitham:
Nope it doesnt change. But then also i get the error.
[Android Themes] HammDroid:
And what, specifically, is it for? I would assume it's for zipping and signing, but since there's already a signing option, and not supposed to "sign" system files, I'm honestly not sure.

I haven't forgotten about getting you those framework files either btw, just haven't been home much and had the chance to get them uploaded for you. Maybe tomorrow.

The zip option is to create a flashable zip and sign it...it is different from signing apks...:)

Finally, running TMA smoothly is important for us. Iy is good that you could solve the issue.

I use Winfows 10 version 1511, initial version. I wad running version 1601 earlier. It got updated to Creators version automatically and I could see only black screen. May be mu laptop hardware is incompatible. It happened 3 times. So I blocked auto updates and now running v1511. It is quite possible that the way I could solve smart screen issue in 1511 may not work in higher versions. But as I wrote, running TMA smoothly is important.:)
[Android Themes] kramer04:
Yes of course...

TMA is the best tool . Very powerful :good:

Error

Hey TFish, I've attached the Virus/Trojans Error some are getting on Windows 10 or other programs. Earlier I reported it running fine on the latest shipped version of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. This is this error is coming up on the next version of Windows 10 codenamed Redstone 4. It won't let me get it going on this machine for testing as MS is enforcing in house security even more. Thought it may help you out some :)
[Android Themes] Yoanf_26:
Hi.

Thanks for the v15. But after download, I can launch the EXE. I use 7zip for extract this.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That is extraordinarily helpful, thank you. And it's very exciting to know that this is coming from inside Microsoft (if I've read your post right).

Unfortunately this isn't TMA itself that's causing the trouble. My tool contains adb.exe which is used for interfacing with your phone or tablet. There's something about adb that virus checkers don't like. I think it's something to do with the fact that the program can control another device or something..but I could be wrong.

Unless I provide the tool without adb, I'm not sure how I can get past that.

I'm guessing you meant you can't launch the EXE? This seems to be a Windows 10 problem. I'm going to look at using some different archiving tools to make the EXE just in case 7zip is doing something that Windows 10 doesn't like.
[Android Themes] purian23:
Glad to help! Yes you're correct that's coming from inside Microsoft's upcoming Redstone 4 build. Their in house security with Windows Defender has got to a point where it works very well without the need of other protection tools. But of course we know your program is safe. Anything else I can help with just let me know!
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've just had a try at this on my setup and I was able to decompile without any trouble at all.. Are you using the very latest version of v15?

Heh, it's like having a spy... :cool:

TMA doesn't contain any malware...from me. I've written every line of code in it myself and, while my teachers may be upset at how messy it is, I know the code's safe.

I've submitted the whole self-extracting EXE file to MS to check for malware anyway and I'm waiting for their report. I'm pretty convinced this is adb tripping the virus checker but it pays to be safe.
[Android Themes] purian23:
Haha heck yea. That's even more cool you were able to submit it to Microsoft for review. I think the teachers would be happy you have done that haha. I know I wasn't worried about any malware, you've been here way too long for that trust to not be in place :)
[Android Themes] Yoanf_26:
Hi

I test the EXE downloaded is identical on Windows 7. Your upload files have problem.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've tested it on my setup at work. We've got Windows 7 and it extracts without any trouble at all...:confused:
[Android Themes] Yoanf_26:
I must extract your downloaded file with 7zip for use TMA v15

I haven't the traditional icon with your downloaded file. But the EXE windows icon.

I take a screenshot on my computer when I arrive to my home.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thank you, that'd be very useful. If you could let me know what happens when you try to run the EXE , that'd be really helpful as well.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
I just installed "Tickle my Android" anew on a clean Windows 7.

Decompiled System UI from costume rom "Nemesis 3.8.5", did the change I wanted and wanted recompile it. Recompile didn't work.

See log.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Both frameworks installed.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I can't see that in the log. Can you share your history.txt?
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Sure, coming right away.

I tried it again but without modifying anything, just decompiled the SystemUI and tried to recompile the apk; but didn't work.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thank you. This isn't showing that you've installed any frameworks. Install them before you decompile your APK and let me know what happens.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Ok. Will do.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
I tried again with installing both frameworks but it didn't work out.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You need to install the frameworks before you decompile the APK.

Install - > Decompile - > Recompile
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Sorry for falling on your nerves. I think I'm at the first srep of Alzheimer's.... .. Thanks a lot for reminding me what to do...

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
No apology needed, my friend. I'm just glad we got it working. :highfive:
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Yes everything is working as it should. Just one last question.

The colors of the notification panel are in the smali folder/com/android. I'm right?

I tried to change the white color of the notifications in something not so bright, but in res/ values/colors. But it didn't work so I guess; after reading a little bit, they are in the smali folder. But with the smali files I wasn't working till now. And it looks not very easy.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I don't know, sorry. I'm not a smali expert. I'd suggest having a look here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799050 This is a thread filled with some very clever smali tricks and it's largely Touchwiz-focused.

I hope it helps!
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Look in layouts folder for anything related to notifications. They may point to drawable xml in values or to framework.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Yes, I tried already almost all notification related colors. None of them worked. So, I found, that they have do be changed in the smali folder. But that's for me a hot potato......

Thanks anyway for your response.

I'm on Nemesis 3.8.5
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
I actually replaced all of those with a custom color I called "my notification" so it looked like this

"@color/mynotification".

I placed the actual color i wanted into this mynotification.xml file which I put into my color folder. Try using this. The text colors are changed in the framework-res.apk styles.xml. The material notification colors.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Will try it right away. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Do you mean res/values/colors
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
No, res/color folder is where the mynotification.xml goes.

No, didn't work. I'm on the edge on giving up. But thank's anyway.
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
Are you sure you don't have some sort of overlay going on? Check your root drive, vendor, overlay folder.

If you care to, upload what you have so far. Framework-res and systemui.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Sorry I don't know what it means overlay. But I will check.

Here the link for system UI and the frameworks.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

No there is no overlay folder in vendor.
[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
Your framework-res.apk is over 50mb, your resources.arsc alone is almost 30mb. It wouldn't install into TMA and there were errors in just unzipping it with 7zip. Your twframework-res.apk was empty. Not sure what is going on
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Let me upload it again. Sorry.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

framework-res.apk has 49.6mb, systemUI 29.4 mb and twframework-res1.9mb

[Android Themes] Tulsadiver:
You are probably not going to be able to mod this much if at all.
[Android Themes] steha:
Have you tried styles.xml in framework.

On samsung nougat s7/s8 it is possible to edit the smali but last time i tried it was.

Systemui = notification background

Framework res = res/values/colors.xml look for all notification colors. Then go to res/values/styles.xml and search for notification there was a colour defined in that style.

The framework edits were for the text colours. I now use a samsung theme that i made and have made the same changes as an overly.

Hope this is some help as smali edits are confusing. I have done it in the past but if i can find a way without involving smali, that for me is easier.
[Android Themes] quincho54:
Yes I think so too. I don't remember how often I tried with no success. Someone did it once but for an older version of Nemesis. But the patch don't work anymore. Thanks a lot for trying.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Ok. I will try in the framework. Let's hope it will work this time.

Thank you for the tip.

Hi can we change wallpaper or port note 8 wallpaper?
[Android Themes] Albe96:
Hey, what's the actual purpose? You want Note 8 live wallpapers? if it's that then you've to port Note 8 systemui.apk to your device..

Or if you're asking about Note 8 stock wallpapers then check my Note 8 port apps thread.There I included them [emoji4].
[Android Themes] nikkali25:
Can you share the link.i tried downloaded wallpaper but no change
[Android Themes] Albe96:
Huh? what do you mean? you just have to extract the zip and set your favourite wallpaper normally

[Android Themes] skeleton1911:
hi guys.

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] first thank you very much for this Awesome tool :)

in Android 7 and above we have in Vendor also apps in app and priv-apps folder, wich are odex.

TMA dont deodex these files . of course i can copy them other to system/app for example , to deodex them and place them back after...

but then a bootloop will occur
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You've got apps in the /vendor folder which you want to deodex?

Are you sure you want to deodex them?
[Android Themes] skeleton1911:
well,

i have vendor/app and vendor/priv-apps folder with some system apps like dialer and camera.apk in it.

to have a full deodex system , these apps should also be deodexed .

but a bootloop will be the result. i am new with TMA . i used super's kitchen before and in that tool these files get also deodex.

thats why i ask you . maybe you know a solution :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
TMA doesn't currently deodex those but I can easily add them if needed.

Could you share those files if at all possible? It'd be interesting to see how they're put together and test them out.
[Android Themes] skeleton1911:
Sure.

Uploaded the full root/system/vendor folder with all files.

https://mega.nz/#!2xQHAZAb!Y6P3iCisakDQOHQAmQUweas3tuhwHgIzKo3ofdhGJGk

The apps in the vendor folder are only there . They are not duplicated or something else. .

For me it makes not much sense to have them there.

Better would be in system/app and priv-app.

It's android 7.1.1

[Android Themes] stangdriver44:
Why deodex them? No need unless you are planning to have them as active mod apks. Realistically you only need to deodex framework folder and then any apks you want to mod, sysui, settings, contacts, incallui, mms etc...

Besides making the apks mod ready the only reason I can see for deodex everything os to reduce zip size!

A full odex system will definitely be 30-40% larger than deodexed.

With a hybrid system cache wipes will be quicker because the system will not need to build ART for everything since they already have it with the odex.

Some say odex system run faster and smoother, but I do not agree. I can make my deodexed system faster and smoother than any odex rom. I will only agree that the initial boot and rebuilding ART is faster with odex. Who cares if the phone take 25 min to boot the first time and really how often are we wiping cache or changing framework.jar that triggers ART to rebuild?

In conclusiom I would say if its easy to deodex the entire system, sure go for it. If its gives you trouble or doesn't boot, then you need to really evaluate if any of the apk that are giving you trouble need to be deoexed so you can mod them?

Good luck!
[Android Themes] skeleton1911:
True, absolutely.

I only have systemui/settings and framework .Apk deodexed , modified them.

The size of the zip is a bit annoying, I don't want 1,5gb . If I can have a 800mb zip :D

But its no problem at all.

[Android Themes] Terraalpha:
Hi Ticklefish

Could you perhaps put in the tool a function with which one can unpack and pack Roms?

That would be great.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
From my perspective, it's certainly a lot easier to deodex an entire rom than just one or two files.

Back in the KitKat days, I would normally just have SystemUI.apk and framework.jar deodexed and I'd leave the rest. Long-term users may remember that TMA used to have the option to deodex individual files. But then came ART and it became a lot harder to do that. If you want to deodex some of the 'core framework' files, you have to deodex all of them at the same time. And then deodexing the rest of the rom becomes harder because of it.

So much simpler just to deodex everything in one go.

I didn't know until recently that some roms put odexed files in the /vendor folder so I'll take a look at the files kindly shared by [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] and see if I can update the code accordingly.

There is a way to work out why this is happening. Please rename "TickleMyAndroid\tool_files\rewrite\settings\DebugOff" to "DebugOn" then try running the tool.

This makes TMA open inside a secondary window so that, if the tool closes unexpectedly, you should be able to see an error message.

Could you let me know what is displayed in the window when you try it please?

Tricky. There are some really amazing kitchens available in xda for rom development which can do this sort of thing..but they're Linux only. TMA only works on Windows for now.

I'll do some research and see if this is something I can incorporate into the code.

I'm a themer, not a developer, but..if I can, I will!
[Android Themes] skeleton1911:
If you need the full rom. I can zip and upload it .

Otherwise ,provided all in vendor folder..

I've been researching this. Most of the methods for unpacking and repacking roms in Windows use mouse-driven programs. And there are a lot of different methods. It might be beyond what I can do with TMA.

Hi! thanks for this v15! With this version for me batch decompile doesn't work. Just decompile one file and then finalize.
[Android Themes] Astrako:
Here you have. Consider that after trying make the batch decompile, I decompiled one by one my files ;) :good:
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thank you. It looks like you installed files in the Quick menu. I guess you are using the batch decompile in the Theming menu after doing that, and not using the decompile option in the Quick menu?
[Android Themes] nikkali25:
Hi if i change my working folder and go back again do i need to install framework again?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
No. TMA keeps track of which frameworks are installed with each WorkArea.
[Android Themes] Astrako:
Yes that is. It is the same work flow that I've always used. I install frame files from quick menu, and then, go to theming menu and select batch decompile (when I really want to use this feature, if not then just decompile one by one). BTW I've setup v15 as clean installation, deleting whole v14 folder before. Thanks for your support. :good:

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've been working on this today. I can put code in to pull and deodex a /vendor folder without any trouble. I'm just having a little trouble with the flashable ZIP that's created at the end of the process.

TMA makes a ZIP that deletes the system/app, system/framework,whatever folders and copies over the new, deodexed version. If it does that for the /vendor folder and it hasn't been provided, you'd be looking at a bootloop. I'm trying some ideas with the updater_script and I should have a solution soon.

Thanks for your patience.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've been working on an update that can deal with vendor files and I think I've got it working. I can't test it on my phone though, as I still haven't rooted it yet (I might by the end of the year).

Could I ask a really big favour? Could you try your files on the beta version of 15.1 please? You can find it here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/u2852ut5n5e9n8j/TickleMyAndroid_-_v15.1.0.exe

This should be able to deodex every odexed file you have in framework, app, priv-app, vendor/framework, vendor/app and vendor/priv-app.

You'll just need to copy across those folders and select the "Deodex Rom" option. TMA will do everything else for you.
