Look at what Morningstar posted on the apktool thread right above your last post, I don't know LG like I used to but if it's anything like Samsung there is always some issue where you need to decompile with 1 apktool and recompile with a different 1.

I haven't tried but if i replace it with original framework in recovery and set chmod 644 ,then also it boot-loops.. don't know why??

But do we have to replace the files as we do in apktool for signing or TMA does it automatically?
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Replacing original framework with original framework boatloops? Try rebooting into recovery and wiping cache and reboot.

Ha. Yeah it happens. I have the same issue too. I think it's common if your running lollipop or somesort. I had to use vrtheme for framework stuff. (Though I didn't test it fully). Here's the vrtheme template I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60223028. I have no idea why it does that when replacing framework res ?
[Android Themes] Azharkanorwala:
Yeah!! Why do they complexes stuff for us,but there are many developers who are successful in flashing framework-res but we need a complete guide for framework-res in lollipop. [MENTION=5978945]DUHAsianSKILLZ[/MENTION]

Does this (vrtheme) works with all phones??
[Android Themes] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I guess. That was a template for the note 4, but works fine on my tab s and other devices. I typically don't theme framework res since I mostly edit systemui and secsettings apks only.

I've had bootloops after flashing new framework, a simple cache wipe and reboot has always fixed it. I have never bootlooped when replacing stock framework with stock framework.

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] I remember Ibotpeaches mentioning a lg bug still prevalent in the new apktool here as well- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60162416

Just wanted to repost so those with LG devices see it is not TMA's fault and I'm sure someone is trying to figure it out. As far as Samsung making things easier than LG, I think it is more to do with having more development on Samsung than LG. Sammy keeps making it harder and harder to theme and mod their devices as most images aren' t in png or jpeg format anymore and they have added framework files and the whole Knox security thing. But as long as Samsung is so popular, top devs that buy the device will always figure out a way to fix and workaround these issues.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] Azharkanorwala:
Ya! I can understand its not a TMA Related Thing,that is why i mentioned its not a TMA bug,but the developer is too kind to always rectify the error,dont know about the BUG,but i am always successful in some system apps like gallery,contacts etc but had always problem with framework-res,InCallUI and teleservices,settings. Be it on 4.4 or 5.0.2,without any changes if i recompile and original signing,it still shows FC, and there is no LG themer or developer that puts a guide for it,have Pm and asked but no support from them. :crying:

I am glad the developer still supports the tool. many have dropped support for their tools in a year. I would donate but i am still studying ;)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Sigh...there's always something. Still, apktool is always being developed so hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.

I don't think it would. When you enter adb shell, you're essentially now on your phone. And you don't have any Android devices connected to your phone.

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
That's why I posted for Ticklefish to read as well as it is a limitation of apktool and there is no fix available or forthcoming from Ticklefish until the glitch is fixed within apktool. Probably going to need to come from an LG developer who can try and test things out themselves as there is no other way of fixing these bugs unless you own the device. Samsung had similar issues with contacts on lollipop but a workaround was found by some great devs over on the Galaxy s5. Just going to take some time...

It's the nature of Android. I guess it's the price we pay for companies being able to do their own type of ROM's. If everybody just did a standard Google-style ROM, it'd be much easier to know how to mod it.

But it'd be so boring!!

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, as you saw on the apktool thread, there is a glitch and it is being looked at. Nothing you can do but wait and have some patience until it is fixed. In the meantime maybe you can just get a jump on images and not touch resources and maybe just do a Vrtheme until it is straightened out.

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I don't know. Would need to ask them. Maybe there is a trick already or maybe they are just using the Vrtheme template. I would post a question in your devices questions and answers forum and see what comes up.

Mine are images in systemui on my phone and images in my framework on my tablet. No lollipop for me I hate material design. I'd rather images over code. No one gets that all those stupid ripple effects are just pressed BG pngs before lollipop. If you know what you are doing you can basically get the same effect with manipulating images. Worst part is with all the horrible coding and tints, arrays, and overlays in lollipop a ton of the images are still in there and you need to find the code that tints it now. 99% of ripple effects are controlled either by the system colors in framework(colors.XML) or by the colors.XML within the apk. Usually labeled ripple effect light and dark. I'm guessing it would be a hex like #40ffffff or something like that. But if you can't find it, I would ask in your nexus forums. Start a thread asking for help. Someone over there must know. Are you on vzw? Try asking beanstown or 1 of his team guys. They all jumped from Samsung to the nexus.

SLIGHTLY NEW VERSION AVAILABLE!!

​

I know it's only been a few days since the release of v10.4. but you know me...I can't seem to stop working on this thing! So now I've just released v10.4.1.!

As the version number suggests, this is just a small upgrade to the previous version. I've fixed some bugs to do with icon changing and TMA should now be able to replace signal and WiFi icons in Lollipop APK's.

For Android 5.0., Google decided that the signal and WiFi icons would be generated by code, instead of PNG files. That's fine for them but we're modders, we like to change things! So now you can!

If you like to change status bar icons, head to the OP to download now!

p.s. There's been some talk here of using a VRTheme template to mod Lollipop app's by injecting icons directly into the APK files. That's clever but...did you know that the Advanced ZIP can do the same thing? It's not something that can be easily automated, so TMA might not feature the functionality for a while, but if you feel like trying something new, why not give it a try?

Have a look here to see just the Universal Flashing Tool can really do: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=258333
[Android Themes] MaFiBoSS:
Thanks for this great work. You don't stop :)

So, I found a problem/bug (maybe) when I trying to go next page (key "N"), for chosse and making the backup of my odex file, the TMA (v14.0.1) closed (i not have this problem in previous version)...:(

In this version, the odex files are going the correct place ("C:\TickleMyAndroid\_WorkArea1\_deodex\OdexFiles)", but not all, missing the .odex.xz and odex.art.xz...

I still can not make odex file to deodex with TMA, maybe its my problem...:p

Thanks :highfive:
[Android Themes] carl1961:
I Don, t think tma has the option of deodexing a whole rom , i think tma being a moding tool that odex file is deodexed

and then decompiled so there ready for moding and recompiling.
[Android Themes] elliwigy:
Hey,

Thanks for the awesome tool!

I am not sure if this is a decompile issue or not (doubt it is since everything else is fine) but thought id ask in here if anyone can tell me how to read this file:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By9dxKZHr9vaZEZMRW5LOG0zeGc/edit?usp=docslist_api

I decompiled the apk using your tool and this file is located in res/raw/lollipop it has no extension.. i have tried enconding/decoding but cant see how i can read the contents of the file as regular text. the apk is originally made by chinese so i did convert the coding to big5 and ither types and it converted to chinese but translated it didnt show anything at all.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Those don't decompile. Those are sounds and video images. Not sure what you want to do with them. If you want a custom sound just rename your custom sound to 1 in there and overwrite it. I don't mess with those usually. When the app is installed they are usually located in system media folder and can be modified from there using a root browser.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I'll have another look at the code..

TMA can deodex a whole ROM. You just have to decompile every odexed file to do so.

I could create a tool that can deodex an entire ROM with a single button-press, it would be very simple to code up. But I'm reluctant to do so.

It seems like a lot of people on xda just don't understand what a deodexed ROM actually is. There's no point deodexing every single APK and JAR file unless you plan to mod the smali of every single APK and JAR file. That's what deodexing is for.

And that's why Tickle My Android works the way it does. Carl is absolutely right, TMA is a modding tool. If you're not going to mod the smali of the files you're deodexing, why are you bothering deodexing them?
[Android Themes] :
Def need some help :( in the ROM I'm using, icons like the LTE and 3G in the status bar are.no longer .pngs but are vectors. In the vector for say the LTE its has height and width, view height and width, and I guess what's below it that's defines the image. My question is how would I be able to move the LTE from the top left of the status bar data icon where.is is to the bottom right if that makes sense. I just need some help on vectors!
[Android Themes] :
Here is the pic

For example, how would I move the LTE to the bottom right, below my data meter?
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I don't see an LTE in that pic. Where is it? And what do you mean it's a vector, it must be an image or a hard coded file in smali like the battery in lollipop.

I am very new to vectors and have no idea how to work them :(
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Gotta find it, it is probably in your drawable folder as an xml. Then you can control where it is located by changing the dpi in layout folder statusbar.xml. You can also change it from an xml to a png if you like. If you find the xml in drawable folder just substitute an image or images instead of that xml.

Yeah I got you, at 1st i didn't understand what he meant by vector. I usually replace a ton of vector drawables for images. Usually buttons that have an outline or a gradient. Titlebars are another easy 1 to replace, but yeah since they switched to the the statusbar vectors, you can usually switch to your favorite set of pngs as they are usually the same name or very similar. Only thing harder to replace is battery which is coded in thru smali which is annoying...

Can you do me a favour and download the ZIP attached to this post? Extract it to a useful folder and you should see this:

There's nothing very special here, just three quick files that I put together. Each one uses apktool to install an APK file in a slightly different way. And each one should result in a log file being created.

Could you please run "First.bat" then "Second.exe" and, finally, "Third.exe"? Then please share the text files that have been produced. You can then delete this folder.

Nothing bad will happen when you run these, but it'll be interesting to see what files they produce.
