I have to extract the resources.arsc file from Keyguard.apk to even get it to recompile. If i don't i get errors. I renamed the file to .zip instead of .apk to extract the file. I then copied it to the decompiled keyguard folder was. Then it recompiled successfully but then I got systemui force close when I moved it to system/priv-app and rebooted the device. This apk is unmodded and I don't get what I am doing wrong. This same process goes for framework-res.apk but it bootloops the device instead. I am using apktool 1.5.2 for the job
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Very odd. I can't think of any reason why you'd have to do that..

Any luck with that history.txt? I'd really like to see these errors.

Is there anything different i need to do when trying to install TW lollipop frameworks. I can get log txt but just wondered if there was something i was missing before i upload pointlessly. Cheers
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So this is the error you're getting:

c:\TickleMyAndroid\_WorkArea1\_working\Keyguard.apk\res\layout\keyguard_sim_puk_view.xml:40: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'layout' with value '@layout/keyguard_securityview_overlay_layout').

You need to either add this layout or change the reference to it for this apk to recompile.

Out of curiosity, have you tried using apktool 2 RC3 to install, decompile and recompile?

Did u try this yet Sir http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57451922

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]

Just for the record, not asking for help.

I am paying this to clarify that the above does NOT work properly, at one point it leaves a blank space after the clock.

The way to make it work is to copy the "clock" line to just before the "carrier text" line and change the clock layout options to exactly the same as for the "carrier text" layouts (that means deleting the last one on the clock).

That's all, just did not want anyone to find my broken code in here.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks.

Your keyguard_sim_puk_view.xml has this line in it:

<include android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" layout="@layout/keyguard_securityview_overlay_layout" />

This is the line that's causing trouble. Try deleting it and seeing what happens

I saw that, yes. Very exciting!

Unfortunately I'm away from the computer for a while and I'm going to be even busier after Christmas, so I haven't had a chance to do anything with it. I'll update TMA as soon as I can!

Thanks! :D

This is patched smali & baksmali that does support most of the Android 5.0 files but it is not entirely compatible yet.

Like the thread says the source of the patch is here:

https://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=225

Also, we're still waiting for a way to dump boot.oat file since it contains 20+ dex files that are necessary to complete the deodex process of framework.

In the meantime, if anyone finds out anything for boot.oat dex dump, please share.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Interesting. It's so nice when Google decide to reinvent the wheel like this.

Don't get me wrong, ART is great but it does make things harder for us poor modders!

By the way, where can this boot.oat be found?

It depends what that line says. The error may be on that line, or it may be caused by an issue on an earlier line which has caused a snowball effect.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
TICKLE MY ANDROID v.9.2.3. NOW AVAILABLE!​

It's taken some time, and a lot of head-scratching, but TMA can now deodex Lollipop apk and jar files!!

Well, mostly. There are still a few files that are causing trouble, including 'boot.oat', but we're getting there. Lollipop is still new but it's only a matter of time before we have it mastered.

To download Tickle My Android v.9.2.3 and start deodexing your Lollipop ROM, head to the download link in the OP now!

Massive, massive thanks go to [MENTION=5941042]Tech N You[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] for all their help!

Sorry for the inconvenience, guys. :(

I think this might be caused by your file names. Try renaming "MMS(3).apk" to something like "MMS-3.apk" or similar. Batch files don't really like file names with parentheses in them..

signal icon change LP 5..0 GPE Galaxy S4

Hi [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION],

For my first test I tried to change the icon of signal icon, everything went well but after falshing i noticed no change in Icon, so i decompressed original and moded SystemUI and saw that in LP (at least in GPE 5.0 of Galaxy S4) there are a lot a lot of icons for signal with 2G,3G, 4G, H+ etc... so you cant just change 4 icons and have it moded.

Here is hte screenshot from the folder as you can see. We will need more icons for each one :(
[Android Themes] osas514:
Nope bro

They may be lots of signal icon but d one you really need to concentrate on are

Stat sys signal 0 fully

Stat sys signal 1 fully

Stat sys signal 2 fully

Stat sys signal 3 fully Etc

That is your signal icon code

It's probably down to how the ROM was built, I guess.

According to your error logs, that apk is missing a style. You need to either provide that style (tricky, but not completely impossible) or just delete the reference to it.
