[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacos:
Hey guys,

I was wondering whether anybody could successfully recompile the SystemUI.apk from the July update (MVLUAMG1) of the Canadian variant SGH-I337M. I have decompiled/modified/recompiled the SystemUI.apk of the previous base MVLUAMDJ tens of times WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. I have tried various versions of APK Multi Tool with all the latest updates, as well as Tickle My Android 6.0 - ALL UNSUCCESSFUL

Should anybody be interested in testing it, here are the necessary resources

Here is a log from APK Multi Tool:
