I did wonder. My tablet is Touchwiz and has the usual filenames but it is still on GB so I wasn't sure if Samsung hadn't changed how they do things for newer roms.

Thanks for doing some research on this, you've saved me a lot of typing!

I'll wait to see what [MENTION=2067729]drganbds[/MENTION] says they need.
[Android Themes] :
When I open tickle my android it say that java it isn't installed but I'm think it is. Can anyone link me the downoad page because maybe I installed a wrong version :o

EDIT: Solved
[Android Themes] JHat83:
How? I installed the latest Java, but there is no result! Win 8/64:confused:
[Android Themes] drganbds:
Tickle I need to change touchwiz icons so please consider and release a version with touchwiz icon changer....

And option to add our own icons from outside and modding with your theming software.

One more thing that it will be better if the version has xperia, sense, aosp, iPhone, etc packs including icons toggle battery bootanimation etc in that.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I'm more than happy to add support for touchwiz icons..but TMA already has it. Is it possible you can share your apk files please? It's possible that icons have different filenames in your rom which would be why you can't change your icons.

Tickle My Android has had the option to use your own icons since version 6.0.

Have a look in the 'user_files\icons' folder. To use your own, just add them to the relevant folder.

So if you wanted to create some banana-themed toggles, just put them into a folder called 'bananas' in the 'user_files\icons\toggles' folder.

Of course, they don't have to be banana-themed. You can do whatever you like. I'm just really hungry right now!

I'm always looking for new content so if you do make some nice new icons feel free to share them!

I'll have a think about doing sets. It's a good idea!

You need to make sure that you have java installed to your path. Tickle My Android needs this so it can run java programs from the command line...and apktool is a java program..

change number of icons

looking to change the number of signal icons in my tmobile sgs 4 firmware from 4 to 5.. i previously did this is sgs iii but the entries are now longer in res/values/integers.xml

any suggestions thanks
[Android Themes] drganbds:
Thanks tickle...I'm having one problem is that when I press create a flashable zip and start add app and framework and fonts project etc etc...then if I press created advanced or standard zip it just exit....wat should I do?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So the programme just quits as soon as you select the advanced or standard zip option?
[Android Themes] hoops04:
why i couldn't open file TickleMyAndroid shortcut?
[Android Themes] drganbds:
Exactly tickle then how will I create a flashable zip from the project?

At present I'm theming the files and putting it on my roms and flashing.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Do you get any errors? Is the TickleMyAndroid folder in the root of your c: drive, so it looks like c:\TickleMyAndroid?

Well, there are two answers. You could make a copy of the update.zip or update-normal.zip in the tool_files folder and use that copy as your flashable zip. You'll still have to add the files manually.

Or we could try to fix the problem. It takes a bit longer but it's worth doing. Do you have zipmaker.bat in your tool_files folder?
[Android Themes] Slicc98:
Some guidance, Tickleman?

So thanks for telling me the answer you probably have told a million other users, Tickle. You make a n00b feel welcome in an intimdating place like XDA.

Im still looking to make a 5x6 layout for my N900A. So, from what I've been reading, do you just go through the process to deodex the seclauncher4.apk and then replace it with another, pre-done version of that?

I tried a version but it made me power cycle 5-6x on every reboot and my battery runtime was a mess.

I appreciate any help.

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] Hi there, I have met a problem. The window is extremely small, I can't even see anything. Also, I tried to decompile the systemui.apk but it only decompile some folders, not all folders are decompiled. As you can see, I provided 3 pictures, one is for the window too small, while the other 2 is the missing file. You can see that the "value" folder is missing in the second picture. ( The bold text is answer )

What phone/tablet are you using?:

Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I8190N

What version of Android are you running?:

Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean

What version of Tickle My Android are you running?:

Tickle my android 7.1 ( the latest version I think? )

What sort of rom are you on? (I need to know about OEM roms as well. That's things like Sense, Touchwiz, etc)

I'm using custom rom light by somin, its a touchwiz rom. Link is below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2280401

What are you trying to decompile/recompile?

Systemui.apk ( I'll provide the apk as well )

What resources apps have you installed?

Errr....I don't understand what does this means.

Are the files you're using odexed or deodexed?

Errr.....I'm not sure....(sorry I just started learning how to decompile files )

What mod are you trying to do?

Putting text on status bar. Link is below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2401367

Do your files work if you decompile, recompile and prepare them without changing anything?

I still don't know whether it works or not because I can't find the file I want after decompiling.

What problems are you having? (Give me some detail here, don't just say "It doesn't work.")

I faced a few problems.

- The window is too small

- It shows error and written: Decompile not successful.

I'll provide the screenshot below.

Please also copy and paste the log files for the files you're modding as well as the history.txt logfile.

Err....I don't understand what is this.

i want to make play store transparent and how can i do it

can anyone give me the link to make play store transparent :)

thanks in advance
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
If you have the Desired out put app and just have problems to make a flashable zip

this tool should help you

Easy Flasher v4

Since you dont know what installing resources means? i guess u didn't install the dependencies i.e framework-res.apk(found in framework/) and twframeworkres.apk as well

And so you cant decompile the apk properly

Read the op how to install framework

Edit: I tried Decompiling your Systemui and ApkMulti Tool log shows -Couldn't decode Value

So might be a Apk tool error

See your user_filesLOGS/history.txt for Errors

Decompile the apk,find the pngs you want to make transparent (like back ground etc) replace them with transparent images

compile back without playing with the signatures! Can Use Apk-Multi Tool for that.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Yes I have that file tickle

So TMA crashes as soon as it calls that batch file. There's no reason I can think of for that to happen..but I'm sure I can work it out.

Do me a favour, open your command prompt and cd to 'c:\ticklemyandroid'. Then enter this command 'tool_files\start.bat'.

Use the tool as usual. Hopefully you'll get an error message when you try to make a zip. Let me know what it is if you do and hopefully that'll give me a clue as to what's going on.

Well, the decompiling problem sounds like you haven't installed your resource apks. Have a look in the op to see what this means and how to do it.

The log files are in your user_files folder.

And that small window..I think you may be stuck with this for now. You can right-click on the titlebar to change the text size but you do have to do it every time. Sorry about that but the good news that I have an idea how to fix it in the next version..

Thanks for the pictures, by the way! It's really handy to see what's going on.

And thank you for your thanks!! :thumbup:

Not a mod I've ever tried, to be honest. If I get a chance later, I'll see if I can do something for you. :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So..you must have been writing this while I was writing my reply.. I should have just stayed quiet, shouldn't I? Lol

If you just need to edit the png files, you don't even need to decompile the apk at all. Apk files are essentially archive files and can be opened with programs like Winrar and 7zip. Then you can change the images without having worry about signatures and compression rates or anything like that.

When apktool 2.0 is released, TMA will be changed a little bit and this business of the signature will cease to be a problem. It's exciting stuff!
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
Lol Yeah,Infact i would have stayed quiet ;)

Thats A good news!

Why not introduce this feature in TMA?

When just replacing icons and no xmls,Just Extract and zip?

See Screenie

Alright, thanks for your quick reply.

So you guys mean that I must install framework, then only I can decompile system ui successfully right ?

Oh, I have 1 more question, do I need to plug in my phone and do theming ? Because I didn't connect my phone, I take the systemui.apk from phone and decompile, so is this one of the factor why I fail Decompile?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I won't let you stay quiet..lol You're practically my deputy in this thread!

Unziping apk's is now on the list of things to implement for the next version. I was working on this problem of the recompile window being a different size last night. I've got a fix for that now, I just need to do some coding then I can add this zip option.

It's a good question so well done for having a think about it..but no. The phone only needs to be attached if you're pulling files from it. TMA can work without an Android device connected to your computer.

The reason why your decompile failed is most likely because you didn't install your framework files. SystemUI.apk, and most system apk's, won't decompile if this step isn't done.

Have a read of the first post in the thread, I explain it in more detail there.

Having to install your resources is a pain but you do get used to it very quickly.
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Alright, thanks for your quick reply.

I tried to decompile framework-res, systemui, framework.jar, service.jar, android.policy.jar,twframework-res, and also build prop.

And finally it writes : decompile succeeded. Thanks for your teaching and advising,

However, I don't understand why I can't find these codes under my secsettings.apk. Other can find those codes, but I wonder why I can't find mine ? ( I'll provide the link )

cannot connect tma

So, first of all im very new to fiddle with android so im gonna need a litle bit of help.

Well the problem is i cannot find the correct drivers for xp 32.

Tried Kies drivers and several drivers that google throw at me.

when i am using TMA i cannot even get started, im trying to pull framework-res.apk it just says: Error Device not found and something has gone wrong.

here is the required Q's

1. What phone/tablet are you using?:

Samsung pocket GT-S5300

2. What version of Android are you running?:

Gingerbread 2.3.6

3. What version of Tickle My Android are you running?:

Tickle my android 7.1

4. What sort of rom are you on? (I need to know about OEM roms as well. That's things like Sense, Touchwiz, etc)

Ugh.... dont know for certain

5. What are you trying to decompile/recompile?

nothing yet

6. What resources apps have you installed?

if you mean clockwork and such yes, done that but nothing else

7. Are the files you're using odexed or deodexed?

dunno

8. What mod are you trying to do?

just want to modify statusbar colors and images

9. Do your files work if you decompile, recompile and prepare them without changing anything?

i dont know yet

10. What problems are you having? (Give me some detail here, don't just say "It doesn't work.")

Device not found (Yes i have read allmost everything in here relevant)

11. Please also copy and paste the log files for the files you're modding as well as the history.txt logfile.

cannot do that just now
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
If you don't have any smali files at all, your apk is probably odexed and will need to be deodexed.

And guess what program you have can do that? ;)

So you've installed Kies? That should give you all the drivers needed.

So it might be something to do with your phone. Have you got 'USB DEBUGGING' enabled?
[Android Themes] MrSmallweed:
Yes its on. and kies is up and running.

should my phone be on mass storage mode or just connected?.... annoying phone
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
Sorry, maybe I didn't explain clearly.

Actually I have smali files, but the problem is I can't find the codes inside the smali files. I tried to open the smali file with notepad++. But then, I can't find those codes. That's weird. :(

And, tickle my android can deodex it, I saw it I think it should be option 1 ?
[Android Themes] limyuyang:
[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[MENTION] I wanna change my battery icon, and only framework-res.apk is modified, so which option should I choose ?

7- Create advance zip file

8- Create standard zip file

Which type of zip file should I create ?
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
Lol Deputy?!

Wow

Do you think i should update my Signature? :p

I f you got problems with device connectivity just take the necessary apk's,mod them,make flashable zip and Enjoy!

Its not necessary to connect the device...

Its all your call

1.Advanced Zip - Uses Universal flasher and also backsup the apk it is flashing on your sdcard

So if something goes wrong with your device,say bootloop after flashing your made apk,you wont have to flash the whole rom again

Just enter Cwm, install zip from Universalflasher/backup

your original apk is restored and you are out of bootloop! ;)

2.Standard zip- is any normal flashable zip and dosen't backup

so if confident about your zip that its stable go with this option

if you have flash errors with this,

go in TMA/tool_files/META-INF/com/google/android/

replace update-binary there with one from your ROm's flashable zip and you'll never have compatibility issues :good:

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]- tried making flashables using both techniques

Even though both zip's were well built and flashing,it said zip not created?
[Android Themes] MrSmallweed:
Umm... How exactly i do that if i cannot pull anything from my phone?
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
Use any file explorer

give root rights

find files in /system/app

system/framework/

use them

Easy
[Android Themes] usf1996:
I'm having an issue with creating the flashable zip:

If i keep the default "tma_27-Oct-13--@1459" name the .zip file is successfuly, but is i try to change the name of the file i get this "Error! ZIP File Not Created!" error.

P.S: the renamed zip file is still created even if i get the error.
[Android Themes] X-Droidinary:
Was I supposed to pull AND decompile framework-res.apk as well as SystemUI.apk?

If so I didn't do that.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That's probably it then. SystemUI.apk often uses resources from framework-res.apk so you need to pull and install that first, then try decompiling SystemUI.apk.

Google like to make things complicated! Lol

[Android Themes] X-Droidinary:
I installed framework-res.apk to the pc then decompiled SystemUI.apk changed the battery icons and animations then recompiled it and tried to push to to my phone but it says I have a read only file system. I've had problems with certain ROMs before I used TMA when I tried to copy files to /system/app. So how do I fix this problem?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Are you pushing in recovery with your /system partition mounted?

Ahhh....no lol. I'll try that now.

***EDIT***

Ok I just pushed SystemUI.apk in recovery mode and it seemed to have worked but now I'm getting boot loops.
[Android Themes] Avilove.Cullen:
It does show me any line to enter , notepad pops up and in cmd it shows "save the file" !!

That's it :(
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
To push stuff to your system partition while the phone's running, you need to unsecure it first. The method for doing this varies from device to device.

However, if you push to system like this, you could cause all kinds of nasty bugs so I always recommend pushing in recovery.

[Android Themes] X-Droidinary:
After playing around with my phone a bit i.e. factory reset, I got the phone to boot and found a different background (not sure if this was supposed to happen) and battery icon so I guess it worked.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Did you do a factory reset?

Sent from my U20i, SK17i, GT-P1010 or something else entirely.
[Android Themes] X-Droidinary:
That's what I said in my post.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That would have reset the whole phone back to stock.

To mount the /system partition, you need to boot into recovery, so you're on the Clockwork Mod Recovery main screen. Then go down to the mounts and storage option and choose 'mount /system partition'. Then push the files you've modded, unmount the parition and reboot. You don't need to do any resetting.

Sent from my U20i, SK17i, GT-P1010 or something else entirely.
[Android Themes] X-Droidinary:
I think before i did the reset I rebooted my phone without unmounting the system partition so I'll keep trying until I get it right.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
It may be that there's something in SystemUI.apk that's causing a conflict...well, it's moot now. I'm taking the transparent status bar out for the moment as I just get far too many people saying it's not working for them.

Once I've got ICS on my phone and I can play around with it, then I might bring it back.

v3 will hopefully be out by the end of the week. It's taking a while though. The last few updates have been about fixing code in v2. This one is about adding all-new functionality and I need to make certain it works first.

And I need to find enough new battery icons, as well as other stuff, to put in it as well!

[Android Themes] MrSmallweed:
ok, so i've succeeded connecting my phone to to TMA but new error has occured see thumbn. below.

someone can help me figure out next phase?
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
That what i mentioned in the previous post

The zip is stable! Flash it

It'll work according to what i assume

1.Assuming your have rooted your fone and have su or superuser from market installed

Lets say u have es file explorer

Check screenie

Hit root explorer,su will ask for rights grant them and you have root access

One basic mistake which most of us make is

After recompiling you hit 'Create flashable zip' and then go for standard or advanced

This creates the zip but it has no app in it to flash! :D

CORRECT METHOD:

After recompiling

1.Go to Flashable zip menu

2.==- choose options from '1 to 4' ie Push system/ or system/app etc..-==

Eg: if you mod Systemui.apk

You need to choose option 2 i.e push system/app/ and THEN choose Systemui.apk

As systemui.apk resides in system/app

Ir framework-res.apk choose system/framework as framework resides there

This pushes the app the project of the zip

3.then hit 7(i guess or 8) create flashable zip

This should work! :thumbup:

Could you check your history.txt in userfiles/logs?it'll tell about the error

Or provide it

If its empty enable logs in tma's menu
[Android Themes] MrSmallweed:
Here's the log.
