If you're still having trouble getting the tool to run, please open the command prompt (run cmd.exe), navigate to where you extracted the tool to (cd c:\ticklemyandroid for example) and enter this command:

"Tickle My Android".exe

If the tool doesn't start again, there will be an error code or two that will help give me an idea of why.

Let me know and I'll get it fixed for you!

hi guys and [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] first thanks for the great work, i have a problem to recompile message.apk on my htc 10 here a folder whit all logs https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8TF65Gp27e3UW9QXzFhSkg5aFE&usp=sharing semms the T.M.A decompile well or partially and when try to recompile it failed .any idea?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Your APK didn't decompile fully. You have in the log lots of lines like this:

S: Could not decode file, replacing by FALSE value: raw/retrieveconf_text_from_email.dat

This says that apktool is having trouble processing some of the resources in your APK.

If you've installed every framework file on your phone before you decompiled then you may have a problem. If not, then that's worth trying.

HTC have been a problem in the past due to their habit of constructing APK files in an unusual way and not sharing how it's done. If that's still the case, decompiling this file is going to be a real challenge. :(
[Android Themes] maurydes:
Thanks for quick reply mate,will look on it[emoji106]

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] Nice work..but my files not decompiling.. :(

If you can share your history.txt, I can find out why and fix it for you

[Android Themes] slickrick54:
First off i would like to say great tool here bud and thank you very much for sharing! One question though i'm having an issue with the changing icons menu. I downloaded and extracted the icons zip and placed them in the tma folder like the OP says but when i go to change them or i should say add some nothing shows up. Please help [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]

ps: sorry images are sideways don't know how that happened

[Android Themes] tdunham:
I think someone said just to go through and rename those ic_knox_badge.PNG shown in your history.txt to ic_knox_badge.png (lowercase png) to fix recompile issue.
[Android Themes] Albe96:
What are u saying u about??

expand me. . .I just gone to user_files/LOGS & saw that!!do i rename it to ic_knox_.PNG ??
[Android Themes] tdunham:
No, read the log file you posted. It shows the name I gave you and where they are located. Change the filenames from PNG to png at end. The wont work unless you do this.

Edit:

You have files (the log shows location and names) that have uppercase PNG file extension, you must change them to lowercase png file extension.

I think that is all you need to do.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I can't replicate this error. Can you try downloading and installing the tool again please? Don't forget to delete your existing "TickleMyAndroid" folder completely before installing.

Pretty much, yes. The error that's causing the trouble is this:

W: I:\Exe\TickleMyAndroid\_WorkArea1\_working\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw360dp-xxxhdpi-v13\ic_knox_badge.PNG: error:
File is case-insensitive equivalent to: I:\Exe\TickleMyAndroid\_WorkArea1\_working\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ic_knox_badge.png

Apktool is getting confused by the presence of two files with the same filename with different cases, but it's pretty simple to resolve.

Looks like I may have a typo in the instructions. If you installed the tool to "c:\ticklemyandroid", you need to install the icon file to "c:\". That's why your files are in the wrong place.

Sorry about that, I'll update the post as soon as I can.
[Android Themes] Albe96:
What I do?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You need to change the filename...
[Android Themes] Albe96:
Which file?
[Android Themes] tdunham:
OMG, seriously? :crying:

I think we are out of choices, you cannot read the two lines he posted above?

When I say we are out of choices, you really need more experience in modifying files if you cannot read two lines and figure out where a file is located when the file path is given to you. There are plenty of guides for newbies available here.

I suggest you take a good amount of time and do some research before modifying files that you may not understand the outcome.

[Android Themes] SICKMADE:
I must say brother this is a must have tool for those who develop/theme. I know you've had this tool out for some time now but I have always just used regular apktool having gotten used to typing commands in myself I guess. But after getting a new device and on Marshmallow I was having a tuff time recompiling apks so I came across your tool again and decided I'd give it a try not knowing it was a damn Swiss Army Knife for developers/themers! You can do everything with this and thus far I haven't run into any problems recompiling/decompiling. Thanks for putting in what has to be countless sleepless nights building this for everyone to use. If only I would have just used it sooner lol.

Much love and respect.

Deodex Result

How do we know whether the whole deodex process is a success or not. Do we check the history log files for any particular like "error" or "failed" or does it come in the TMA screen.

So i was finally able to get the icons extracted to the right location but now systemui doesn't want to recompile. Just a little info pulled and installed framework and tw-framework. Also pulled systemui but did not install it. Then i decompiled framework and systemui. Added the wifi, signal, and lockscreen icons and went to recompile and framework made it but systemui didnt. Heres the log if you could take a look it would be really appreciated
[Android Themes] Dzepar:
You have xml and png drawable for signal. You should delete one of those e.a. If you putting pngs delete xml. :)

Good Luck!

Sent from my XPERIA M2
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Well, thanks for your kind words! It's very much appreciated! I have spent a lot of time working on this, so it's always good to know that people like it.

If you really, really want to say thanks, the bottom of the OP has some banners that can go in your signature. Help to spread the word! :good:

If TMA can't deodex a file, you'll get a message telling you about it. The error details will be in the "history.txt" file, as they can sometimes be too long to display on the screen in one go.

If the process is a success, it'll make a ZIP file for you to use then tell you everything worked.

Could you explain what you mean by the mouse not working all the time, please? When does it not work?

You can go into the Settings Menu and turn the mouse control off.

Damn. That's really annoying.

Are you able to share your odexed framework, app and priv-app folders please? I appreciate that's a lot of files, but it would mean I could run the process on my side and see what happens.
[Android Themes] Er. Aditya:
indeed bro il upload them tonight :)

thankyou for your time and help :) :highfive:
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That'd be great! Thanks! :highfive:
[Android Themes] iko11:
This is my problem mate, no choosing option like 1, 2 which I had in 13.3.0, thanks.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That's because you have the mouse control on. If you click on the filenames, you can process them.

To turn the mouse control off, just go to the Settings Menu.

It looks like v13.4 has this turned on from the start. I'll upload an updated version in a moment which doesn't. Thanks for letting me know!
[Android Themes] iko11:
Glad to let you know mate but see the ss There is only option for Enable, even if choose Enable option never comes Disable. And also the mouse mod activated but click not working, only works time to time or after several click on window.

Also Windows Defender detects Malware on .exe file weird :s
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So, after enabling the mouse control, you don't see this screen?

The mouse works...but batch files aren't really designed to work with mouse control, so it can lag sometimes if there's a lot going on.

There's no malware in my code. You can safely ignore that.

(Obviously I would say that if I actually had hidden some nasty code in the program. It's up to you whether you believe me or not. :) )
[Android Themes] iko11:
Sorry bu no, it always stays as 'Enable' i never see disable option. I think I should clear all my files and install the new version you will release.

I don't want you to get me wrong, I don't have any suspicion about code, maybe more people come to report this, just let you know, thanks :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
The new version won't have any different code for the mouse..

Try deleting everything and downloading the tool again.

Does anyone one know where to change background for 5.0 in the gallery app
[Android Themes] carl1961:
using UltraFinder

I see this about background ( looking in my android 5 gallery2013) I don't have time to test changing white to some other color to see if that does anything, and also your app may be different, but it looks to be colored white (not a image file).

I may be wrong, but thats where i would start
[Android Themes] Er. Aditya:
here you go sir

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BwgmYsEzRdA8eUxRcDRhUzNacWs&export=download
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks. I'm at work, downloading it now. It'll take a while, but I'm here for a few hours so I'll get there eventually.

I think I know where I went wrong. I'd assumed that "odex.xz" files were only in Lollipop, I didn't think they carried on in Marshmallow. I've already added code to process these in MM, I just want to test it with some real files.
[Android Themes] Er. Aditya:
Bang on sir am here as well if you need tester:D
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Right, I'm running it now. Let's see what happens.

Most of your odex files are odex.xz, but the ones in framework aren't. Interesting...I wonder why..

Watch this space!
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
The program has just processed a few of the odex.xz files in your app folder without any problem. The classes.dex file is in the APK and the oat folder is gone. So far, so good. There's still 300 or so files left to go but it looks like I've finally cracked it.

I'll let it run all the way and, if it works, I'll upload the ZIP file to Mediafire for you. It's the least I could do to say thanks. :highfive:
[Android Themes] Er. Aditya:
Np sir its a pleasure if we could contribute a little to make this amazing more better: D
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Well, I successfully made a flashable zip. Which I started uploading to Mediafire. After 90 minutes, the site crashed and nothing uploaded. Yay.

I'll try again later today but the good news is that I also uploaded a fixed version of 13.4. It should now be able to deodex your files. :)
[Android Themes] Albe96:
Good job
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:

This is definitely one cool and unique tool. I will be using this tonight trying to change a few files around hopefully with good results. if there's any way to make a donation let me know. I'd love to support this program.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I don't take donations at the moment. I always feel a little greedy for doing so..lol

But the best way to support this tool is to put one of the banners from the bottom of the OP in your signature. It helps to spread the word and gets more people using this little bit of software of mine. :D
[Android Themes] JMarvelous:
No problem man...ill add it today
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:

As Long as TickleFish does not remove the banners it will work

i try to deodex, but install zip from TWRP error

" could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Damn. Have a look through your history.txt. Was there anything that didn't deodex correctly?

Possibly. I don't know wine very well, but it certainly shouldn't cause any harm if you try it. Let me know how it goes!

I think this is something to do with adb. That's the program that is used to pull files from your phone. I seem to recall reading something a while ago that said that some antivirus programs get upset with what adb does.

There's nothing to worry about though, adb is made by Google themselves.

Is that file in the ZIP file?

That's fantastic, thank you! I'll add this to v13.4 if that's okay with you..?
[Android Themes] gvmiguez:
Today I pulled files from device via adb, and them deodex using marshmallow mode and the same thing happen to me, there is no meta-inf folder on the zip. At the second atempt it works good, the meta-inf was on the zip. But using it on TWRP on my S7 Edge ends on bootloop, of course I read the head line on TMA an make before a backup [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]
[Android Themes] carl1961:
there could be different issues why the boot loop, permissions and may require the latest update.binary and setting permissions, when I install updates and custom roms for my phone I always used a working META-INFO folder that worked on my phone/

attached is a zip you can try that has the META-INF and update.binary from a custom installer that was used for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge marshmallow

replace the one in C:\TickleMyAndroid\tool_files it\update_standard.zip with this and try your files..

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]

I wouldn't. It doesn't look like it has any major improvements over the official 2.1.1 release. We're still seeing the same resource issues related to twframework-res in this one as well.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Is there a META-INF folder in the ZIP file?

And have a look in the history.txt file. That will have a full log of what happened in the deodex process. See if there any errors reported..

Any issues let me know!

In the tool_files folder of the very latest version, you'll find a file called "cmd.exe".

Please doubleclick on it and enter the following commands:

cd..
"Tickle My Android.exe"

Then let me know what it says exactly. This should give me an idea of what's going on.

Looking at some of the commits, it should solve the png/PNG issue that sometimes comes up though. I think fixing Touchwiz is going to take a while.
[Android Themes] Nilakshanjayasekera:
Please check the screenshot. [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Curious. I haven't encountered that issue before..:eek:

Can you try extracting TMA to somewhere else? Like "c:\" for example.

That might fix it.
[Android Themes] Nilakshanjayasekera:
I did that too. I tried older version before. And i thought it was an error on that. That beacuse i tried out this. When i was using winodws 10 it worked like charm. I downgrade to windows 7 after that only this happened. Please help me. [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
This tool is written and tested on Windows 7. So I'm not too sure what's happening here.

It looks like the PC is failing to recognise the program..but is running it anyway. And running it incorrectly.

Try downloading and extracting the tool again and seeing if that makes a difference.

If it doesn't, I'm not totally sure what to suggest. Is your java up to date?
[Android Themes] Er. Aditya:

Can I use it to theme Samsung MM Roms such as on Note 5? :D
[Android Themes] AmmaRoOoX:
I have the same problem but not for deodex, I tried to install the zip I created to change my battery icon but it gives me an error "could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file" and I checked the zip it doesn't contain META-INF folder
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
This is odd. TMA uses one of three files for the flashable ZIP file. They're in the "tool_files" folder and they're called "update_*.zip".

I've just downloaded the latest version and extracted it. Those three files still have META-INF folders inside them and there's nothing in the code that would delete that folder.

Can you do me a favour please? Please make the ZIP file again but, before you try flashing it, have a look inside and let me know if there's a META-INF folder in it.

If there is, that means there's an issue with TWRP. If there isn't, I need to figure out why..:confused:
[Android Themes] AmmaRoOoX:
Will make the zip again now and will tell you right away.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

It worked! I made the zip file again as you told me and checked inside and there was META-INF folder so I tried to flash and it worked without any problems, but my problem is that the battery icon that I have wanted to change didn't change. I think I need to modify the twframework-res.apk? because the one I did modify now was framework-res.apk. My device is Note 5 running Marshmallow.

And thanks for your amazing work and tool, I will try my best in theming with this tool since I am beginner. :)
[Android Themes] tdunham:
You cannot change battery in lollipop and above, they are not images. You can use a third party app like 3minit battery if you want custom battery icons.
