Sorry for the Noob question. Shall I change my stock battery icon to custom ones (I have Pngs) using this tool. I have Moto G running latest Android lollipop
[Android Themes] sud.vastav:
No, you can't change it using this tool. Kitkat onwards, the battery icon is rendered in real time so there are no pngs to replace.
[Android Themes] 00itsm00:
Hi... new be here. Can i use tickle on my lg vu3???
[Android Themes] padhu1989:
Oh ok.. Then how to change the lollipop battery icon.. I need ios type battery.. Is there any guide?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You can't use TMA to change the battery icon on most Android 4.4+ ROM's...

...but you can mod your SystemUI.apk so that it can!

There's a very cool mod by my good friend [MENTION=4485836]Erhany[/MENTION] that does exactly that. I'm not sure if it's been tried on Lollipop yet but, as long as you make a backup, there's no harm in trying!

Have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/how-to-change-battery-icon-kitkat-rom-t2919361/post56300485#post56300485

You can use it for nearly anything.. ;)

Some LG apk files are a bit troublesome but, like I said a few lines ago, there's no harm in trying!:good:

Title Says TMA 10!!?

It's coming! Get ready guys!

Edit: Looks like it's already out

Very strange that [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] didn't post about it like he used to.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Depends on the version, I guess. I think the problem's with later versions of the ROM.

I haven't had the chance! It's been insanely busy today. Did you know it took me an hour to edit the OP? An hour!!

But yet, Tickle My Android Version 10 is now here! This version keeps the design pretty much the same but there have been a lot of changes in the code. Things run a lot faster now!

You can now download TMA in different parts, depending on what you want to use the tool for. Which will be handy when I create/find some new icons.

And there's a banner!

Sent from my LT26i with Tapatalk 2
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
MIUI still uses the same stat_sys_battery icons so, if yours didn't change, that means either you didn't decompile all the needed apps, or you're using a theme and that needs to be decompiled as well, or something has gone wrong.

I can look at the third option but first, which files did you decompile, are you using a theme and how did you put the apps back on your phone?

Oh, and thanks! :P

Decompile Not Successful!

:confused:
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks. I don't get that message when I try installing them. Which is a puzzle.

When apktool installs an apk, it returns an 'errorlevel' value. If that value is 0, TMA considers the apk to be installed. If the value is anything else, TMA considers the installation to have failed.

The only thing I can think of is that your system returns a different errorlevel to mine when the install is a success.

Can you do me a favour please? Can you open a command window (cmd.exe), navigate to your Tickle My Android folder and enter the following commands:

java -jar tool_files\apktool_2.0.0rc4.jar install-framework _WorkArea1\_in\framework-res.apk
echo.%errorlevel%

(I'm assuming you're using RC4 and you're in WorkArea1. ;))

Let me know what it says! :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So, after you enter that second line, nothing shows?

As for lge-res.apk, that doesn't surprise me. LG do some wonderful phones but their apks seem to be a nightmare to decompile!

First of all - great tool man.just great .

I have one small question :

I manage to deodex SystemUI.odex and the tolol create folder with same name in _deodex/DeodexedFiles

I edit some things inside and now i want to make the folder file again.

Here comes the problem- i move the folder in _working,start the tooll ,select Odex file - 3Hours nothing just THINKING.

So i stop it. Then i choose Odex ALL (as it was for deodexing(choose 4 instead of 3)) one small window appear saying "please wait"

so i live it hole night-nothing in the morning it was still there.

The odex file is 1,291KB .

What i do wrong? Thanks
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm...so you want to keep it as an odexed file?
[Android Themes] gencho81:
Yes i add some smali files inside .odex file and i need to repack like SystemUI.odex

Any help is welcome.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Can you share your deodexed file please?

I've just tried odexing a decompiled SystemUI.apk and it completed the task in less than a minute. I think I may know what's going wrong here but I'd like to see your deodexed file first.
[Android Themes] gencho81:
I think i do something wrong .So here is the story :

I have a stock 4.4.4 TW rom.

Rom is ODEXED. I need to decompile the SystemUI.apk in order to edit XML file inside and add some smali file in smali folder.

I put the SystemUI.apk in workarea1/in toggether with framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk

Start the tool ,install the frameworks and go do decompile the SystemUI.apk

It pass but when i open his folder in Working folder i cant see the smali folder

When i deodex the SystemUI.odex file i see his folder in DeodexedFiles and inside is the smali folder i need.

So now on :

I fix the XML file in SystemUI.apk and recompile it-no problem

I put the smali files in smali folder of SystemUI.odex and when i try to odex it i get stuck

here i think is my mistake .I should recompile the SystemUI.odex folder i gues.

I am not a so advanced user :)

Main question : How to make the folder SystemUI.odex from \TickleMyAndroid\_WorkArea2\_deodex\DeodexedFiles

back to SystemUI.odex file ?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You don't necessarily have to make the file odexed again. Why not deodex your apk?

If you've already decompiled the apk, use the "Add Deodexed File To Decompiled File In "_working" Folder" option. Recompile, delete the original .odex file from your phone and flash your deodexed apk and you never have to worry about odexing it again!
[Android Themes] gencho81:
So i fallow your instructions:

-decompile the SystemUI.apk

-deodex SystemUI.odex

-Add the deodexed file in working folder with the tool

Then without changing nothing i try to recompile it and i have this error :
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Looks like you have an issue with line 25 of one of your smali files.

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] [MENTION=4795708]gencho81[/MENTION] Just a NOTE:

some of the new 4.4.4 stock updates have been with a dex file already in the apk file, so there actually already dedexed so for a deodexed file you just need to delete the odex file a few apk may still need deodexing the original java way

so [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] if any one has issues with deodexing with TMA then that may be the issue
[Android Themes] gencho81:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0dy9wMBJeZZVGJTSTAzZjlvRHc/view?usp=sharing

This is the working folder without any changes -just combine Deodexed with decompiled
[Android Themes] carl1961:
I see no classes.dex so SystemUI.apk is not deodexed
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You wouldn't have a classes.dex file in a decompiled, deodexed apk. Apktool turns it into the 'smali' folder. ;)

Well, the good news is that TMA has copied the smali files into your decompiled apk correctly. The bad news is that there's something not quite right with one line of that smali:

..\_WorkArea4\_working\SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\BatteryMeterView$1.smali[22,0] A non-abstract/non-native method must have at least 1 instruction

This is line 22 of BatteryMeterView$1.smali..

.method constructor <init>(Lcom/android/systemui/BatteryMeterView;)V

Sadly, I don't know smali that well yet so I couldn't say precisely what you need to do here. It's worth asking a smali expert about it.

But, once you get that smali issue resolved, your apk should recompile without any issue. :good:
[Android Themes] carl1961:
ok I see I miss seeing it was a folder , thanks for getting me straight
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
No problem. Thanks for all your help. As always. :highfive:
[Android Themes] gencho81:
I think the problems come with deodexing the SystemUI.odex file.

Why i think this way :

I have a systemui.apk from deodexed rom and when i decompile it the BatteryMeterView$1.smali is bigger than 1KB .

Every time i deodex and transfer the deodexed in working folder this smali file is 1Kb.

So i take the bigger smali from the deodexed systemui.apk from deodexed rom and replace the original.

When i do this and i try to recompile the SystemUI.apk i have same error but with the NEXT smali in the list .

First on (BatteryMeterView$1.smali) pass with no problem.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm...So, if you have a deodexed SystemUI.apk already, why are you trying to deodex another one? Why not just use the deodexed one you already have instead?
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Why used an odex anything if you are going to be modding files? Just use a deodex rom. I haven't used an odex rom in years. If you are going to theme or mod your system last thing you use is an odex rom. It really doesn't make that much of a difference except for slight quicker boot time...
