The advanced ZIP files don't normally work with TWRP, no. There's something about the recovery that won't run the script properly. The new files will flash but you won't get the backup file.

You'll want the 'Advanced 4.1+" for Android 5.0/5.1.

I don't know if your APK is deodexed. If it has a smali folder, then it is. I'll need that history.txt file to know any more.
[Android Themes] Calaisz17:
i attatched it further up but like i said its not logging properly either.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks for sharing your history. I'm not quite sure why the logging isn't working correctly. What version of Windows are you running?

When you add the deodexed file to the decompiled file in the _working folder, do you get a "_working\SystemUI.apk\smali" folder?
[Android Themes] Calaisz17:
when i decompile systemui? no i im pretty sure i dont i just reflashed a new rom was getting persistant force close. so ill deodex systemui again soon, i use the one on tma after deodexing it worked fine without odex files had resources no smali and no classes.dex

the oat2dex got it with classes and smali but i wasnt sure if it was signed.

windows 7 was old java 1.7 7.0 just updated i9505
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Odd. I think I'm going to have to do some research to find out why apktool isn't outputting the way it should...
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I have a similar issue on Windows 8 that ticklefish knows about. Not sure if it's my set up or if I have something else installed that is stopping logs from outputting, but I am good at troubleshooting my own mistakes. If it decompiles and recompiles without changes than I know if it doesn't recompile after changes, I have to go back over what I have done. It's usually my fault, I always forget something stupid like an @ sign or a ". I just have to double check my edits...

If it keeps happening, I may have to reinstate the option to turn off the logs. Simple enough to do.

And I do love messing about with Tickle My Android's code!

How did I not know about this project you've made? What a great tool. I'm just posting to share some praise. We now return to our regularly scheduled questions. ;)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:

Well, thank you very much. I'm always more than happy to get this sort of post in the thread! :highfive:

Having problems recompiling SecSettings.apk in Touchwiz Lollipop?

You're not alone. Samsung, as they normally do, have done something unusual and this file will always FC. Even if you don't make any changes.

[MENTION=293887]Morningstar[/MENTION] has found a clever trick to get it to work. Have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/how-to-recompile-tw-contacts-phone-t3066350

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks to the kind permission of [MENTION=5745861]motomotomotoG[/MENTION], I've just uploaded a new boot animation pack.

Head to the OP to download Boot Animation Pack 2.0.0. Head here: http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/bootanimations-50-flashable-t3059659 to see the original thread the new animations came from.

The Full version has been updated with the new animations as well. It's a significantly bigger file now though, which leads me to the second part of this post..

Boot animations are great...but they are massive compared to the other files you can change with TMA. This is why I've introduced the Pure version and the Packs, so that people can download what they need without sacrificing bandwidth.

As the Full version gets bigger, I'm considering scrapping it entirely. I'm thinking of having only 4 downloads available in the future:

- The Pure version, that just decompiles and recompiles.

- The Icon Pack, which contains 100's of icons you can use for your phone.

- The Font Pack, which has lots of fonts.

- The Boot Animation Pack, which has lots of boot animations.

Would this be more convenient for you guys? Or would you still prefer to download the Full version in one go?

Let me know!
[Android Themes] erikalin:
I am not using the tool, just following, but based on related experience in general I'd strongly suggest the four separate downloads. :good:

Do you want any more battery icons? I drew a set of what I called "big digit battery" - made them for someone with poor eyesight actually, they're just bold white with thin black outline, easy to read. Let me know.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I would absolutely love to have some new battery icons! TMA can support up to 400 so the more the merrier! :good:
[Android Themes] erikalin:
Cool. You can use the attached. I had made more, but I think they were on the previous laptop that I broke. (I drop things. Current laptop is literally held together with duct tape. It's sad.)

Th "cubes" one was for an animated battery on charging... it was the one thing I did that made the XDA portal, lol. Not sure if you want to use them or not, since without animating they might be too boring.

The "big digit" is the one I personally like and use, and made for a request for the person with bad eyesight. It's great for that purpose actually.

Add 'em into your collection, bud.

Cheers.

Edit: Oh, I do have a few more if you want to use them.

Red Sox, and Seahawks - two sets for each team, since I made them for a charging animation mod

you can pull the png files from here: Red Sox, and Seahawks

So this post has a total of six sets of battery icons. :)

(others reading this - you can use them in other projects too, please just let me know.)
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Very nice erika. You do it all, lol. I wish I had a 1/4 of the android know how you do. I need a new laptop, mine crapped out and I'm stuck sitting at an uncomfortable desk doing things on the main pc. I had my laptop battery rigged with duct tape and copper wire holding it in place. Lol

Theming Android L SecContacts

Problem

:

The contacts apk decompiles and recompiles just fine but will not be recognized by the system once pushed or flashed to the system.

Resolution

:

(Note: This will probably require that signature verification is already disabled in framework since this is an android.manifest.xml edit. Do NOT recompile with original signature, this will overwrite our changes.)

SecContacts.apk/android.manifest.xml edits:

Before (around line 571 in our S5 xml):

<provider android:authorities="@string/file_provider_authorities" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider">

After:

I can do a little theming, I'm pretty good with paint.net, I am more envious of erika's developer skills. She is admired by many over in the galaxy s 3 forums for her knowledge and overall generosity of creating an app for users of a specific rom with a nice way to locate themes and such for the rom.

I recently upgraded my old Sony Ericsson Mini Pro to Lollipop, thanks to [MENTION=4126034]mikegapinski[/MENTION].

Which meant I finally had a chance to test the deodexing menu in TMA....and it didn't work properly. Not all the right files were being pulled and selecting them was a bit hit and miss.

I've been through the code, rewritten large sections and now 10.2 is available to download! There's also a new Icon Pack, thanks to the kind generosity of [MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION]. Head to the OP now to download!

You may notice something different about the OP...the Full version is gone! This has been done to speed download times and to streamline your modding experience. Now you can download TMA and just add whichever Packs you need.

(It also helps me keep track of what people actually download Tickle My Android for..)

Have fun!
[Android Themes] erikalin:
You know, I really think you've got a great project here. And I think you need an app for this thing to do it justice. Not a "flashing" app, just something for downloads and change logs. I'm working on something new this week (for the Sprint Galaxy S3 mentioned above) and then I think I'll throw something together for you to take a look at... I'll message you this weekend with something. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the app. I got a small problem. I installed java 8, then TMA. Followed instructions. I get a window pop up, but it instantly disappears. I can't read anything it says. What did I forget? I have windows 8.1.

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Do you know where Java was installed to? Tickle should be opened and run on the same path as Java.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
It doesn't have to be. But Java does have to be in the Path variable.

There's details about this in the FAQ.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
That's what I meant. Can't have Java on drive c and TMA on drive d. I find it easier just to keep things neat and tidy to put all my android stuff in the same folder in the path Java is installed to. This is 1 of the reasons I love TMA, no apktool path in command prompt along with memorizing commands. Lol

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Well, that's the whole reason this tool exists. I got tired of constantly typing adb and apktool commands so I made something to do it for me.

It's..er..kinda evolved since then..lol

By the way, you can have Java and TMA on separate drives. I normally have TMA on my phone (e:\) with Java being on the hard drive..
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I did not know that, that's even cooler.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That's the beauty of environment variables. If you put the address of a certain folder into your PATH variable, you can use the executables in that folder anywhere.

If you do a lot of command-line stuff, it's well worth knowing. Saves a lot of time navigating to loads of different folders!

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] carl1961:
just un zip and copy to the C:\TickleMyAndroid\user_files\APKTOOL folder, the apktool_2.0.3-dev.jar is already named correctly.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks, Carl. I'll update the ZIP file with this so people can access it straight away. :thumbsup:

So your SystemUI.apk works with the 3minit mod? But you lost your icons?

I think the problem is either with the mod you are doing, or the way that you are doing it.

Can you share your "user_files\LOGS\history.txt" and a screenshot of your phone with the modded SystemUI.apk please?

TMA is designed to be easily upgradeable with new apktool's. Carl is absolutely right, that's all you need to do.

Have a look at the FAQ in the fourth post if you have any trouble.

Thanks! Always good to know that this little project of mine is proving useful! ;)

Not sure if this is the place but can this program or does anyone know how to change the ripple effect when you press and hold something? Like if I hold down the WiFi option in settings, my ripple is the standard light gray but I would like to change it to red. I was told to refer here so sorry if this isn't the place. Thanks
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Yes. But every app is going to have it's own ripple effect., unless it is called by the system. Either way start with framework res and decompile and look in colors.xml, the ripple effect should be controlled by ripple light and ripple dark and material accent color light and dark. Systemui may have it's own unless it is called to the system, where in styles. Xml it would say [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:*******. But most ripple effects are controlled by those 4 colors.

[Android Themes] leso60:
very useful thanks
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I've just updated "TickleMyAndroid - v10.2.exe" with this apktool, although I renamed it to "apktool_2.Samsung.Lollipop.jar", to make it clearer what it's for.

Hopefully, this will make TMA even more useful for even more people. Thanks, Carl! :highfive:
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Forgot to mention that the off color is usually [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:secondary_text_color. And remember there are 2 main themes, so there will be 2 instances of each, whichever theme the app calls for. Theme.Material and Theme.Material.Light, and as I said, some apps have their own within the app.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY

Edit sorry, I quoted the wrong post.
[Android Themes] :
Thanks so much for the response. Although I am familiar with most android 'things' lol I am a little noobish and when I extracted my apk to my download folder on my phone, I do not see a colors.XML file. Do I HAVE to decompile it on my computer? I thought extracting and unzipping does the same thing. And if I can just extract it, do you mind if I link you my framework res so you can look for it and help me out and tell me exactly what to change? Same thing goes for my syatemui apk when i extract it i see tons of .xmls except colors and styles which i need. I am very confused because I don't see all the files people say I should see or change. But thanks so much!
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
You need to decompile them both. Then you will see values folder. Inside there is your colors.xml. Open that with notepad++ and change the 4 lines ripple effect light and dark, only change the last 6 digits. So if it #40000000, only change the last 6 zeros. Then find accent material light and dark and do the same. Change it to your red hex code. Save, recompile keeping signatures. Next open the recompiled apk with 7 zip, do not extract, just open it to view it. Do the same with the original, inside the new apk you will see a resources.arc file, drag that from new to original. Close both and flash or push the original with the new resources.arc and you should be good. Make sure to have a backup just in case.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Why are you manually copying the resources.arsc file across? Does the recompiled apk FC then?

The need to drag and drop resources.arsc from new to original was removed several versions of apktool ago. Unless Lollipop is causing issues again... :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
That's just the way I was taught so I continue to do it. I don't even risk it, I'm not even on lollipoop and I know how to theme it. Lol. But using regular apktool with Google Apps especially, always needed to drag changes from new to original.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] :
Thank you very much. I also wasn't seeing a values folder at all so when I have time I will look up a tutorial on how to properly decompile apks and change it. And I will decompile on a computer this time since it seems that is the only way. For clarification, to change the ripple, I am changing 4 'lines' in total? Just making sure
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, I don't know exact names, but it's definitely something like material accent light and dark, and ripple effect light and dark. The accent color is when switches, checkmarks, toggles, etc. are on. The ripple effect is the the action or pressed color for all of those controls. I would just start with those 4 to start as I said the off color is a little more complex...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY

Edit- just use this great tool on your computer. Super easy, and great support and easy guide in the op. Believe me I am super lazy and like things just done for me whenever possible. I have been doing this for a while and there is no easier way to mod apks than by using this tool. I'm so lazy that I have it set up for mouse control so I don't even need a keyboard. Lol
[Android Themes] :
Will do, thanks so much for the advice! Last question real quick, would happen to know where I can change the color of the screen pin icon in the recent panel by any chance? Hate that weird green on my red theme. Thanks!

Or in guessing is there is just a systemui .png I can edit.

Also, I'm just going to decompile the apk that I want to take the ripple color from so I'm sure that will help when replacing the colors in the framework res colors.XML but if I run into trouble, hopefully you don't mind me asking

But thanks again, I will download that apk tool when I get home
