if you have a issue post your files and what your trying to do
[Android Themes] kittyfantastic:
Thanks for the fast response. I'm using a back up of my stock rom because I like it, just not the colors xP I don't know what 9patch is though, I'm guessing I shouldn't be fixing them in Photoshop?

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

What I'm trying to do is simply change the colors of the stock phone theme. I'm not a fan of the black background or the blue and green. There isn't a list of all the files I can edit, or if I can simply do it via the xml files (which would be fantastic because I'm crap at photoshop). I'm really not trying to do anything fancy! I just want a different color palette and I am having issues xP
[Android Themes] carl1961:
any way to show a screen shot of what ir looks like and where the rom is, I will look , also I am just learning also...

I just did a video of doing a 3Minit Battery mod using TickleMyAndroid, I am going to upload for Ticklefish
[Android Themes] kittyfantastic:
I'm not using a ROM. I like everything stock, so my phone is just rooted and everything is the same as if I just got it from the store. I want to change the color palette of the stock theme. So, the black background, I want it white. I want the text to be black, and I want everything else of color to be pink. I figured everything out pretty much, but whatever I edit either won't recompile or won't install if I do manage to get it to recompile both the framework and SystemUI apk's.
[Android Themes] carl1961:
what is your phone so I can look for the stock firmware and I'll see what all needs to be done for the text
[Android Themes] kittyfantastic:
Oh, sorry! Sprint Galaxy Note 3 with KitKat
[Android Themes] carl1961:
ok I will find a stock rom

I also have a note 3 but it is AT&T

I'm not able to load your history log to look what kind of error you have, but if you handle the. 9.png files without patch they with draw9patch, for sure there will be a lots of errors.

[Android Themes] gusato:
I am sory bro, the recompile systemui.apk works fine after clearing cache. All apk were deodex except these four

1. ClockPackage_OSup.apk

2 Sbrowser.apk

3. SecDownloadProviderUi.apk

4. SecSetupWizard2013.apk

I have attached the history and recompile text below. Besides, i also tried to change battery icon, but every time i tried it shows

scanning _working folder for stat_sys_battery.xml

files found

scanning _working folder for stat_sys_batterycharge.xml

files found

scanning _working folder for suitable battery images

error! files not found in working folder.

Idk why, but both framework-res and systemui from my samsung is present in working folder. Please have look........
[Android Themes] carl1961:
you may need to install twframework-res.apk to PC also besides framework-res.apk
[Android Themes] gusato:
It is obvious that without installing res.apk, such errors will be there but its already been installed.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So you were having your SystemUI.apk FC after you deodexed it, right?

It's not immediately obvious from your history why this is happening. Are you able to provide a logcat at all? Oh, and how are you putting your recompiled apk back to your phone?
[Android Themes] gusato:
I dont have systemui FC. All system apps were deodex successfully accept the above mention four apk. I used adb command to put apk back to fone. Please go through my above post once again as i am also facing problem on changing battery icon.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So for

ClockPackage_OSup.apk

, you have this error:

Which is saying that you're just some missing styles. Either remove the reference to them or create your own.

For

SBrowser.apk

:

A bit trickier. You need to edit line 95 of arrays.xml and sort out your public.xml. You probably need to delete those lines that are causing errors.

SecDownloadProviderUi.apk

:

Missing styles again..

SecSetupWizard2013.apk

:

This is new, I've never encountered this error before. It may be worth renaming "raw\wizard2.MP4" to "raw\wizard2.mp4" and seeing what happens.

Although...do you actually need to have these files deodexed?

I know it's the fashion to have completely 100% deodexed rom's but there's absolutely no advantage to it. In fact, it'll even make your startup slower. Personally I only ever deodex those files whose smali I want to edit. Every other apk I just leave alone as there's no point spending my time on them.

About your battery icon not changing...can you share your 'framework-res.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk' please? I'll have a look and see if Samsung are using different filenames for their battery icons. Again..:mad:
[Android Themes] gusato:
Bro please get the apk from http://www.mediafire.com/download/70v2qbrj0tqzg47/system_file.rar
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks, I'll take a look. :highfive:

The rest of this post is for [MENTION=5941042]Tech N You[/MENTION].. Try putting the attached apk into a zip and flashing. I decompiled and recompiled it without any changes, using 'apktool_2.0.0-RC1-848f0d6b5f.jar' and didn't get those odd libpng error messages..
[Android Themes] Tech N You:
ok thanks I'll try :)
[Android Themes] Tech N You:
Worked :)

But why if I mod it gives error then :(
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So I had a look at your files, thanks for sharing them.

You do have battery image files in your apk's...but the reason TMA can't see them is that Samsung have done something annoying.

Again.

All your image files have the extension '.qmg' and not '.png'. There's absolutely no advantage to this, it's just Samsung yet again trying to make their Android setup as different as possible. Bloody irritating.

I'll have a look at updating TMA to take this into account. In the meantime, try copying the attached PNG file to your 'drawable-hdpi' and 'drawable-xhdpi' folders. The tool should detect it and then you can change your battery icon as normal.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I'll be honest...I don't actually know.

According to your history.txt, when you recompiled you got a lot of these messages:

I didn't get any of those messages when I tried the file. As far as I can tell, these shouldn't stop your apk from working but it does seem to be the only difference between your recompile and mine. And my recompile worked.

Do you have 'libpng' installed on your system?
[Android Themes] Tech N You:
Yes I see some files named lib.png what are these files?

what is lib.png
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Those would be image files, I guess. Do you have an actual program called 'libpng' installed on your PC?

this is my history and log:

[Android Themes] parkerj7uc:
Hey guys I just want to throw this out there. When you pull a apk or jar or what ever. Decompile it and then recompile it again before you do anything just so you know it will work. That way when you get a error you definitely know it's something you did and everything is working properly. This tools is freken Awesome.
[Android Themes] Tech N You:
No I see a dll file with this name and a libpng file which is under the type "FILE" non executable

Another mod done using TickleMyAndroid on youtube

it shows clearing frameworks resource and reloading them to help prevent resource's errors]

(select High definition to see writing)

[YOUTUBE]8BbxE3WugSY[/YOUTUBE]
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Those warnings are saying that you don't have default translations for three strings in your apk.

This is because...you have three strings without translations. :D

A string is a phrase that you see on the screen, like "USB Debugging Enabled", "SDCard Connected" and so on. Because Android is used around the world, apk files should have these strings in different languages. But it's not unusual to find an apk that doesn't have every single string translated into every single language. My SystemUI.apk is missing about five translations and that's stock!

Generally, you don't need to worry about translation warnings. Your apk will still function perfectly well if it has them.

If you really don't like seeing the warnings, you could always make the strings yourself..

A very good piece of advice! Thanks!

I'm puzzled by this. The only reason I can think that your recompile didn't work and mine did is that it's something to do with libpng. But I don't know what. I'll post a message in the apktool thread and hopefully the dev there can provide a solution. Watch this space!

Very nice! :highfive:

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] is there a way to add more working fokders. Sorry if this has been asked a lot. I use the heck out off this and need more working folders. Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Sorry, also want to add. Can we rename these folders?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
It's possible. I'm away from computer now but I seem to remember that the code is fairly flexible for work areas. How many do you need?

And yes, you can rename them. But not while the tool is running. And ideally they need to be empty.
[Android Themes] parkerj7uc:
Sweet when you get a chance just tell me how or if i could get three more that would be awsome. Thank you. No rush..
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm...yeah, you need to change the WorkAreaMenu function. Easy enough. I'll have a look when I am back at my computer. That won't be for two days though. Doing some family stuff while the good weather lasts.

We don't get a lot of good weather in England!

I'll add three more workareas to TMAX. The code is at the right stage for me to put it in.

Since you asked for them, it's only fair that you get to choose the colours. Have a look in the tool_files folder. You'll find the folder the icons are kept in. Pick your favourites for the new work areas.. ;)

Talking of TMAX, I should have another beta ready by the end of the week for all my incredible beta-testers!

[Android Themes] Code4U:
[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] Much thanks for you suggestion with the apktool version. Here's the fruit's of my labor. I thought I would throw you screenshot.

I got potato statusbar,cpu spy and miui battery mod done. Cant get potato clock to work though,it fc the statusbar.Hopefully I'll figure it out.Thanks for the great tool also.Just for other info java8 doesn't work with this tool.
[Android Themes] parkerj7uc:
[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] i read earlier someone was having a problem with "libpng" it is a proccess in apktool to check images. I just had the same problem. How i fixed it is I took the image and opened it with gimp2.8 and exported it as a png and and unchecked all the boxes in the menu that pops up. And it worked. Recompiled and no error. I was also using apktool 1.5.2
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hey, that's awesome. I'll have to check your stuff out! :)

That's a very nice-looking statusbar! I'm very glad you got it working!

Thanks for the info about Java 8. What happens when you try?

The thing is he was getting libpng warnings for EVERY image in the entire apk. And I wasn't, even though I was using the same apk files and the same apktool.

Which makes me suspect it wasn't an apktool issue at all, but something to do with his setup.

Strange...
[Android Themes] parkerj7uc:
I see. Ok Ill keep thinking.
[Android Themes] Code4U:
It won't even open with Java 8. It reads and error so fast I can't catch it all. Something about not being able to run the java.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] I was wondering if you could possibly tell me what I'm doing wrong with some xml edits. Ive asked a few people already,but it seems I need an xml expert. I'm trying to add potato clock found here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50861830

No matter how the lines get added it FC's the status bar .Funny thing is I already have all the other potato mods working fine.I just cant seem to get this to work. Is there anyway you can look at it,and point me in the right direction. Below is my xml without the lines added,maybe you can tell me where to put them. It's only three lines. If I make it as per thread instruction's it doesn't work.Most of the lines are very different from the OP. So I'm a bit confused.Thanks...
[Android Themes] hello00:
are you decompiling lg apps? because i can decompile non lg app without a problem..the problem is lg apps..now i tried decompiling lgsystem and the errors are coming from the framework itself..why is that?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Y'know...it might not be your xml that's causing the problem. I've tried the potato clock mod myself and it FC'd on me as well.

If you've got the xml right, it could be an issue with the smali instead. The best thing to do is to get a logcat. That'd tell you where the problem lies.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
There's that gif again... (I swear I should know who that is, but I can never think of her name...very frustrating..)

Your LGSystemUI.apk is pulling in resources from whatever file you installed as '2.apk'.

What file was that?

You might need to install something else instead..
[Android Themes] hello00:
is it the lge-res? i can decompile that file without a problem..really weird
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Have you got any other resource apks in your rom?
[Android Themes] hello00:
i guess it is just framework and lge..they are both in the framework folder
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Oh, Jessica Alba! Of course it is! Grr...my memory's getting worse and worse!

Anyway...have you tried uninstalling your resource files and reinstalling just framework-res.apk on its own?
[Android Themes] carl1961:
Jessica Alba LOL

Shame on you [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]
[Android Themes] hello00:

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hey..I've got young kids! You should be amazed I even remember how to use a keyboard!

afdhakfjhhfii!!

My reputation is in tatters...

Anyway...TMA is trying to take resources from a resource file you haven't installed. Try installing your lge-res.apk before decompiling and see if that makes any difference.
[Android Themes] hello00:
just lge or both framework and lge?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Both.

Have a look at the decompiling log. Apktool is trying to take resources from two installed resource files, 1.apk and 2.apk. If you've only installed one, you're going to get problems.
[Android Themes] hello00:
how do i install them using ur tool? the only option i have is framework
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
We're talking about 'lge-res.apk', right?

If so, as long as it's in your _in folder, TMA should be able to detect it and offer it as a file you can install.

In fact, I've just tested it with a dummy file called 'lge-res.apk' and TMA does detect it.
[Android Themes] hello00:
haha u were right..it looks like it was trying to pull in resources from another file that didnt exist..i recompiled lgsystem with no problem..u are a life saver! :highfive:

LOl,how does it reference to something like @ android:drawable/APKTOOL_DUMMY_0ae9 ?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I dunno. Since I appear to have trouble remembering her name, it could be a very awkward wedding ceremony..

Neat! Thanks!

[MENTION=4768354]Madaditya[/MENTION] is absolutely right. This is the error you're getting:

Normally if you see 'APKTOOL_DUMMY', it's because a resource file needed to be installed before you decompiled the apk..and it wasn't. Apktool can't get all the information it needs to define that resource so it just gives it a dummy name instead.

You need to either remove the call for this resource in the line, or change it to a resource you do actually have in the apk.
[Android Themes] parkerj7uc:
I did change it to match the line above it and it still failed. I'll try removing it and see what happens. Thank you
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:

You don't just abuse TMA, you make videos about it too! Which is very cool!

If you really need it, you could always make a new image to use. But you're right, it does sound like it's something that isn't critical.
