Curious. It might be worth adding a temporary background to your status bar, just to get a better idea of what's going on. Try adding the attribute:

android:background="00ff0000"

This will give your status bar a bright red background. It'll look horrible but it'll help highlight just how much of the bar is showing.

I agree, MS-DOS have problems displaying Cyrillic. I will try to find a solution. If I am lucky, I will let you know!
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Try adding this line to the top of the batch file:

c:\windows\system32\chcp 866 > tool_files\rewrite\settings\temp

So the file starts like this:

c:\windows\system32\chcp 866 > tool_files\rewrite\settings\temp
::TITLE
set string_title0001= Tickle My Android
set string_title0002= By Ticklefish

That should, hopefully, make MS-DOS display Cyrillic characters.

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I have no idea what you are trying to do. I thought you wanted to change your statusbar height to 50 dip? it looks right on homescreen but off on lockscreen. are you following a guide or something? there's lots of stuff on the statusbar in smali, layouts, drawables, and pulled from framework and sometimes jar files. I'm not sure what you are trying to do, so a little more info will be helpful. tickle fish made the statusbar green or red to see the changes more clearly...

Hail ?
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
I just want to make FlymeOS statusbar like the pict in my post, sir. Statusbar with 2 or 3 lines, but in this case i want to make 2 lines. Just it.

I haven't a problem when i did the same method on ICS, JB or Kitkat. So i tried on Lollipop too, and got this problem, sir.

I dont know, maybe because some drawables on framework aren't PNGs , but vector-path(s) data :eek: like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector android:tint="?colorControlNormal" android:height="32.0dip" android:width="32.0dip" android:autoMirrored="true" android:viewportWidth="48.0" android:viewportHeight="48.0"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<path android:fillColor="#ffffffff" android:pathData="M6 18 l0 12 8 0 10 10 0-32 -10 10 -10 0z" />
<path android:pathData="M30 17.87 l12.5 12.5 M30 30.37 l12.5 -12.5" android:strokeColor="#ffffffff" android:strokeWidth="4.0" android:strokeLineCap="butt" />
</vector>

I will try change statusbar height from framework-res.apk - recompiled - decompiled - compare with stock framework-res.apk now.

Thanks for advance, sir :D
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I saw you say flyme OS in a previous post, unfortunately not everyone knows what that is. but anyhow, most of what worked on 4.4 and down especially anything having to do with system ui or framework, will not work on 5.0 and above. there are so many changes with material design and. all taking over. gotta remember, every little pixel on your screen serves a purpose, so if you change something at the top, it is going to affect every pixel from that point on down. the framework is the base layer, it controls the theme, background, text, pop-ups, buttons, etc in all apps device wide. everything else is just a layer added on top of that framework base. changes were made in android that make it more difficult to change or override that base layer anymore, for instance see custom battery images and how much extra work needs to be done just to do that. anyhow, I'm not sure how to make that work as I have never seen nor done that. most people I know are doing the opposite of that to regain as much screen space as possible. if you know who has this or have a guide made by someone, you may want to ask there on if it is possible on 5.0 and above.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
It's theoretically possible, it just might take a lot of trail and error. If it can be done, that's great. If not...well, making the attempt's half the fun!!

I'm not sure why your status bar is doing what it's doing, but I do have an idea. My ROM has two separate XML files for the status bar: "keyguard_status_bar.xml" for the lockscreen and "status_bar.xml" for the unlocked screen.

It's worth looking in your APK to see if you have something similar.

By the way, this business of regaining screen space is an odd one. My last phone was a Xperia Z and one of the first things I did was reduce the height of the nav bar. Now I have a Z3 Compact, with a smaller screen, and I'm perfectly happy with the nav bar size.

In fact, I'm even considering making it bigger so I can put more softkeys in!

Those vectors are a pain. I think they've been introduced to make it easier to deal with different resolutions, but they're difficult to theme.

Thankfully, you can replace most of the XML files with PNG files and go back to the old way of using image files.

Thank you!

I know you're just saying that so you can get past the 10 posts limit and start a thread advertising your game...but I'm not proud. I'll take any praise anybody gives me! :D

so i downloaded the latest "pure" version but i cant find the option to pull systemUI.apk for lollipop and when i try to pull any other file it says error somthing wrong has happened try again later. any ideas on what i should do??? my phone is Galaxy Core Prime VE (G361H) running stock lollipop 5.1.1 with root access
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
The option to pull SystemUI.apk for Lollipop is option 3 in the pull menu. It says "3 - "SystemUI.apk" [Android 4.4+]"".

As for your error, can you share your "history.txt" please?
[Android Themes] FunSucker:
I just run run run around in internet, i try several methods, following many guides, asked many many questions, If one way does not work, i was looking the other way but with the same goal. So i can't give a link for this problem because thats too much link lol

Just example:

I ever do this in some devices also, Qualcomm and Mediatek with the same OS. I see there are several different XML structure in SystemUI.apk, so I adjust it. But the same, I change height of statusbar from inside framework-res.apk, sir. And works.

Anyway, i tried to compare my framework modded with stock, but nothing different. Just many "APKTOOL_DUMMY_XXXX" in values folder.

Yes sir, i have both files too and already changed it when i got this problem.

If i should do this from SystemUI.apk, and don't do this from Framework-res.apk, should i did any changes in smali files ??

Im not really sure where are wrong, in my systemui or framework..
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
link of the ROM the mod had come from, or a thread where it works on a device running 5.0 and above, you can at least decompile their system ui and diff out the changes made. 1 issue I would think right off the bat is notifications, battery, wifi and data signals, and most everything in the statusbar are not images anymore and are controlled by a tint or overlay, which I think is stupid, but blame google for their all together and now all the same campaign...

Hail ?
[Android Themes] xenreon:
I fully agree that it's stupid and only makes the work harder and annoying at times
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You might not need to make any smali changes...probably. Did you change both heights in dimens.xml? There's a line for the status bar height and another one for the lockscreen status bar height..

By the way, those APKTOOL_DUMMY lines? That points to the framework-res.apk not decompiling properly. Apktool is unable to decode some of values in the APK and uses a generic APKTOOL_DUMMY instead.

This normally happens when the APK is decompiled without all the relevant framework files installed.

I don't know why they moved away from image files, but I agree it's annoying. Especially for the sort of themer who runs a tool that can replace icons!!

I think they did it to accommodate different screen resolutions, which does make sense. It's easier to tell Android to draw a shape that's this tall compared to the status bar then to draw several different icons. But it does make life for the modder more difficult.

I've replaced most of the code-generated icons in my SystemUI with image files. It's normally just a case of deleting the XML file in the drawable folder and adding the right PNG's.

Which means I can do stuff like this..http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/mod-merge-wifi-signal-icons-updated-t2276066 :)
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
somewhat true, the images are all still there but instead of just allowing the images to be visible they are throwing tints and overlays on them. google's copy of iOS 8. I know it is mostly substituting images in place of xml's, not too hard to do. but everything about material design as a whole takes away from personal custom images and flair. it's gotten so bad I don't even bother theming anymore...

Hail ?
[Android Themes] porkyhontas:
I personally think Google started all of that overlay and tinting stuff beginning with the material design failure in order to prevent or discourage Android enthusiasts from modding it. I could sit here and explain my theories why, but why explain the obvious.

I just think they have no idea what they are wanting for a final outcome. Other wise we would not have frameworks filled with stuff not used since the first days of android lol

Not that big a deal to revert them really. Just have to redirect the stuff to what is still there. I do this in my themes. I just redirect everything back to the way it was.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Google do seem to have a very strange attitude towards us. Yes, they can't be seen to support modding just in case an inexperienced user gets something wrong, bricks their device and holds Google liable.

But there's a difference between ignoring the rooting community and actively making it harder for us to do what we do.

I'd only ever buy Android phones now, simply because I love modding them. I have two iPad's but they were gifts. Google are the ones who get my loyalty, and therefore money, so a bit of friendliness towards the modder wouldn't go amiss.
[Android Themes] xenreon:
I miss the days before lollipop :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] porkyhontas:
It's not a big deal sometimes. But many times you need to run through the code and add images instead of colors, invert the app and do a lot of smali edits to revert back to more of the old -- and far better looking-- Android look. You can get close but not perfect. That's why I don't do ROM updates much. As a matter of fact I'm still on Kit Kat and have never fathomed moving to Lollipoop or Marshmallow -- just doing the data app updates like Dropbox, hangouts YouTube etc. is a pain in itself due to material design. I'm still holding out and hoping that Google will come to it's senses and eventually go back to more of an older Android look, lol.

Change the height values in framework-res.apk only, dual lines statusbar get work but some theme sources is messy.

Change the height values in SystemUI.apk only, my statusbar get blocked/hided/overlapped by something but didn"t have issues with another theme sources.

Change the height values in both, no different.

So i did point 2 only, and :

De/Recompiled android-res.apk in vendor/overlay/here. And created/added status_bar_height lines in dimens.xml

Now I can continue for about another point: D

SLIGHTLY NEW VERSION AVAILABLE!!​

I've just uploaded v13.1 to Mediafire and it's ready for download.

This features more accurate (and significantly faster) icon changing, two new versions of apktool and some new Indonesian translations.

I've also changed how the program detects different versions of apktool. You no longer need to rename the file in order to use it.

TMA will now work with any apktool with a filename that begins with "apktool_1", apktool-1", "apktool_2" or "apktool-2".

It's a minor change but it should make it easier to change between all the different versions that are hanging around.

There's a new icon pack available as well. Icon Pack 5.0.0 is available to download.

It features a few changes and I'm curious to see if anybody complains. This tool was originally designed with icon-changing as one of its major features but that seems to have changed over the past year or so.

Does anybody use this for anything other than just de/recompiling? Let me know!

Head to the OP now and start downloading! :good:
