This would also be a cool, simple, APK-Patcher zip: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/guide-enable-pixel-launcher-round-icon-t3536267

I'll have to make a more concerted effort to get in touch with [MENTION=1299419]JesusFreke[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3924617]iBotPeaches[/MENTION] at some point to see if we can resolve the issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lirannl:
Yes! And with one tiny modification, I could make it do the exact opposite, which I currently need a windows laptop to do, meaning I can no longer update my phone seamlessly, I have to manually decompile framework-res and change it from true to false (all good OPO ROMs add round icons). I can't stand all icons being the same shape, especially when they mostly have unique, fitting shapes without that, and I'd love to have an automated script to disable this horrid (for me) feature which every rom enables just because it's on the Pixel.

Hello [MENTION=1143630]osmosis[/MENTION]!

Great tool. Would love to be able to use it. I am running a note3 on note7 port MM ROM with lollipop bootloader and baseband. I have dualboot patcher installed and I am using materialized TWRP 2.8.7.0. I get an error when flashing zip in recovery. On screen in TWRP it says "error executing updater binary in zip".

When reading multiboot.log, it says:

[D] update-binary-tool: Successfully mounted /mb/bind.system at /system
[D] update-binary-tool: Successfully mounted /mb/bind.data at /data
Patching...
SystemUI.apk
Segmentation fault

Decompiling APK classes failed. Aborting...
[D] Updater exited with status: 1

[Multiboot] Elapsed time: 00:00:02.709
[Multiboot] Failed to run real update-binary

My sh script is called SystemUI-smali.sh and is prepared to remove a line in Feature.smali:

sed -i '/>mSupportAppNotiGrouping:Z/d' classout/com/android/systemui/statusbar/Feature.smali

I also updated envvar.sh as:

banner="SystemUI MOD";
apklist="SystemUI.apk";
apkbak=/data/media/APK-Backup;
backup=1;
cleanup=0;

I am editing only one file, thus I left cleanup=0; but I don't get anything in backup folder or tmp folder, because it cannot proceed. After boot, I don't have any change in systemUI, and it works as it was working before with no changes.

I removed everything inside extracmd.sh (because I dont need) and removed "README". Patch folder is empty too.

What could be the reason of not working? Can anyone please help with troubleshooting? Any more info needed?

Zip I prepared: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6y47L5NKSVmcWduX0R2Uy1Qczg

Edit1: I tried changing back the first part of sh script to previously available (sed -i 's#CREATE TABLE raw_contacts (\(.*\) );"#CREATE TABLE raw_contacts (\1, is_restricted INTEGER);"#') to test whether it has to do with the incorrect code, and it says same error.

Edit2: I also tried by changing classes folder to smali folder. Classout comes when baksmali a jar file, smali folder comes when decompile apk like systemUI. But same error: "error executing update binary in zip" shown in TWRP each time, and same "segmentation error" comes up in multiboot.log. If it is related to Dualboot Patcher, I cannot do without it, since I will release it as a MOD to a ROM, where about half of the users are using multiboot with different MM TW ROMs

Edit3: Is it possible that app is working for AOSP system apps but not TouchWiz system apps? It should not be an issue since I am using apktool to decompile same systemUI on PC.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Hard to say from that.. you may have to go through and try the commands one-by-one in your recovery.. I'm guessing it's aapt for some reason segfaulting on your device?

If it's not that then there might be an issue with the particular APK like you suggest.. in that case, well unfortunately this project needs a lot of love, starting with the latest apktool.jar, but I'll need to get in contact with iBotPeaches to hopefully resolve the problems I'm seeing with it.

Rest assured it's on my to-do list, but it's pretty far down. Feel free to also drop him and/or JesusFreke a line for me in the mean time to put a bug in their ears if you think this project is worthwhile. I'm also open to any number of collaborators to bring this project to proper fruition.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrrocketdog:
ok. dumb question for the day. (computer illiterate 'old guy' here).

not have to do with twrp version , i guess¿
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eleo:
Of course this project is worthwhile. I will try to go through steps one by one. Will try other apk too.

If this script will work, it will save me huge amount of time and MOD number.

With vrtheme method, the number of zips to have only 6 changes equals to multiplication of all the version numbers (2x2x2x2x2x2=64 different files), since I need to have all the optiins for users to choose (and believe me, there will be demand for each different combination). If it is possible to do edits inside res and smali with this script, the file number for above MODs decreases to only 12 different files.

Well, newer twrp versions cannot flash aroma installer on note 3, so this is the latest one we can use. I wanted to share the script as a MOD, since otherwise for each change in res and smali folder, we need to prepare a separate systemUi apk as flashable zip or classes.dex/resources.arsc for vrtheme (and there are many changes on those folders). An alternative would be to have a ROM control (which is presnet on many other ROMs on our device's forum), for which I need a better laptop (mine is 1.4GHz dual core (which is about 4 times slower than my phone itself) and cannot even start android studio).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
I got in touch with [MENTION=3924617]iBotPeaches[/MENTION] on the official Apktool Gitter, and unfortunately it's not looking good for the future of this project:

Apktool is a hard requirement for any resource editing, so without that I won't bother trying to talk [MENTION=1299419]JesusFreke[/MENTION] into similar fixes for the bak/smali tools. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fOmey:
Looks like java.nio.file.path is going to be added in Android O (API 26): https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/file/Path.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Hmm, that's sort of good news, and provides a tiny bit of hope, but it'll unfortunately mean that the zips would only run on a system with an O ROM or above.. so full support would lapse from Lollipop to Nougat.

I guess we could include both sets of jars to make it work from ICS to KitKat and then O+. I have had reports that some things will work on Lollipop and Marshmallow (my PoC linked in the OP for example) with the old jars, so we could attempt to use them in those cases, but it seems like it's hardly full support for those releases without the newer jars - very hit-or-miss, which wasn't what I was hoping for with this project.

It also might solve the errors for bak/smali but not the ones with Apktool; as [MENTION=3924617]iBotPeaches[/MENTION] suggested they stemmed from a few things. I'll have to reevaluate things once I get an O ROM to test on.

[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] How can i use your script to decompile framework-res.apk ?

i edited envvar.sh file and added res to patch folder. anything missing?

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Well, no guarantees with framework-res.apk since there've been issues with that specific APK before on-device, and this project is unmaintained and all-but-abandoned due to incompatibilities with the latest ApkTool and bak/smali (read back a couple pages), BUT, yeah, you're on the right track.

So it should be patch/framework-res-res/ then the path to the file to replace. You're better off with script/framework-res-res.sh if it's something you can do with sed/awk; wider compatibility.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FriendlyNeighborhoodShane:
Hi [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]

I found this zip lying around and so tried a quick script to make the nougat accents blue... Spent 30 mins on it, then a hour figuring out what went wrong. Then thought of seeing the thread and saw this sob story :crying:

I realise it might be fruitless now, but just for closure, I wanna figure out why there was a second error, updating classes failed, since there was no smali stuff and there was a resource script, so it shouldn't have went there in the first place. Yes, I did try it with the latest revision. Attached is the res script, envvar and recovery log.

Thank in advance.

Edit: BTW, you noticed the apktool app floating around last year? In case not,

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=149532

http://code.google.com/p/apktool/

Yeah, I did notice he had to fit the whole apktool-supporting JNI in there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Your "sedit" function looks like it'll fail because you've got $1;$2 inside single quotes - ' - so they won't expand. Try sed -i "s;${1};${2};g"

Hadn't heard about that newer apktool. Worth a look I guess.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FriendlyNeighborhoodShane:
Oh. Thanks about that fix. But my point was that there is a resource script so it should never go to the updating classes part, since it is to do that only in case there is a smali mod and no resource mod.

EDIT: NVM. Looks like it fails with that error just for the heck of it. Removed the whole bak/smali portion and it succeeds but in the end does nothing.

Thanks and see ya around.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Seems pretty much impossible to run dalvikvm in recovery on Android 10+ thanks to linkerconfig and namespace issues, especially now that it's relocated to /apex/com.android.art/bin/dalvikvm in Android 13 and using linker.config.pb.

So just to make it clear this thread and idea are currently dead, and it's been 5 years so I'm unsubscribing. 😛

If anyone in the future figures out how to get dalvikvm working in recovery again on modern Android, @ mention me and we'll see if we can get aapt, apktool and bak/smali to play more nicely at that time! 👍

Known issue. Anytime I touch/backup my device, I clear the PIN/Fingerprint. Then back it up. Set it up again afterwards.

thanks ....
[HTC One A9] AntikerTa:
With this Update there is no Storage Encryption? On my Device is it not. On yours?

But i have deleted the locksettings files under /data/system because i want not tip in the PIN Code after every Reboot before i can use the Fingerprint sensor. If you delete the locksettings files under /data/system you can use Fingerprint after Reboot without Tip In Pin Code first. Is this the Reason why Storage Encryption is not on my Device?

I do not miss it. I do not want it, but i wonder me. Or is supersu beta the Reason?
[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
Do you have the stock recovery from the 1.55.617.4 update? The recovery from 1.12.***.** (whatever version it came out the box with) isn't updating. I've flashed the clean stock deodex rom from Captain_Throwback and I flashed the 1.12 recovery. Attempted to update but it stopped on 3% and I had the red triangle with the exclamation, and then it rebooted but didn't update.
[HTC One A9] NuShrike:
24% means it verified the OTA and it's good to begin updating /system. 3% is something worse.

One way to see what's going on is to run the update from TWRP, or adb side-load? with stock recovery. Then, you can get a console to see the logs.

There you go.
[HTC One A9] dgcom:
Got this issue this morning - phone received OTA for 1.56.617.1 and installed it. Phone is stock with unlocked bootloader (did not install TWRP yet). Since I use PIN lock, I know the pin - and was asked for it on reboot, however... The text with PIN prompt actually stated that PIN is correct, no matter what code I entered and claimed that it cannot decrypt the phone, requiring reset.

I suspect this is the issue with bootloader... Unfortunately it will cost me a lot of time to restore everything as I had configured. Granted, a lot of apps now backup themselves on Google Drive and some I had pointed to SC card, but still, very disappointing.

What is the best way to backup here? If I install TWRP, I can take an image, but every time I restore it, I'd have to update with possibly the same result. If I unencrypt, I lose the ability to apply OTA easily...
