Sorry i wasnt more clear in my OP

i was using the multitool with the GUI instead of apk via command prompt, i always used this method without fail.

when i use the apk tool i get the following:

C:\apktool>java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk

I: Loading resource table...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] _NakedTruth_:
not sure the version of apktool you have. afaik, the arsc decode error you are having is history already.

what do you get with ?

C:\>java -jar apktool_version.jar --version

if different from 2.1.1 then

download >> https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads/apktool_2.1.1.jar

rename to apktool.jar and replace yours

retry

Have you extracted the twframework-res.apk file as well

You need to then run both commands to set the resource tables, have you done apktool if framework-res.apk and apktool if twframework-res.apk

Using apktool 2.1.1 you should get the below when it decompiles correctly

C:\Samsung S7\APKs>apktool d SystemUI.apk

[X Style (Pure) General] chindynasty:
So, I have purchased moto x pure on the first available day and waited forever for ROM development to get decent. My overall impression and outcome: less developers means slow movement with the Roms. Very evident here for motoXP. Decided to give motoXP to my wife and get me the one+3. Although it's way too early to tell, but ROM development is off the hook since the release. Hype is real, unlike motoXP hype that never happened, I can tell custom kernel and Roms will be plentiful. I'm hoping most XDA participants have similar needs to mine. Get the best out of your device with customization and optimum performance. Out of all the devices i have owned, motoXP has been the far worse device with stagnant movement. I try to love it, I try to work with that heating issue. Good buying experience was probably the best experience during my time with moto. I know time, availability, and other factors made me get moto. So close to Nexus but blank. That's what moto x pure seems to be. Thank you for being there for me until now. Check you on the way down side.. I'm pretty certain quarterly check will do for this device in the development section.
[X Style (Pure) General] kennonk:
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Blown away by all the dev happening on the OnePlus 3. Mine arrives tomorrow. But I guess OnePlus actually posted all their source like the day the phone released. Big difference from the moto X. Things here are just starting to warm up 9 months after release...crazy. Love this phone and official cyanogen is running great on it now but I am super stoked about the OP3 tomorrow :)
[X Style (Pure) General] dgadelha:
Well, I think that there isn't so much development (kinda like a bloat of ROMs like Samsung, 1+) because Motorola comes with native "AOSP", so you can get that real "pure Android" feeling without the need of a custom ROM.
[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
Can anyone tell me how the OnePlus3 compares with the MXP under direct, bright sunlight? Which one is easier to read/see outdoors?
[X Style (Pure) General] barakisbrown:
Most likely the one plus 3 since its amoled compared to the pure which is LCD. Check review sites for that answer since this is specific to the pure. :)
[X Style (Pure) General] ARUN B:
one plus 3 has only a full hd screen while the moto is quad hd.
[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
Nobody cares about QuadHD unless they are using virtual reality goggles.

Well, you might think the LCD vs Amoled would be important but it's not in this case.

I had the Note 4 and compared it with the MotoX and both were the same for me under direct sunlight and brightness set to max.

The N4 got a little better when the auto brightness kicked in the psycho brightness mode. But if you run an AOSP ROM then you lose that mode, so it's all a wash for me.

I'd like to know if the OnePlus is the same,.better or worse than the MotoX with max brightness in sunlight.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

Could you please compare your OnePlus 3 and your wife's Moto X under direct sunlight for me?
[X Style (Pure) General] chindynasty:
Moto x pure has very bright display. But the QHD also plays a big part for battery drain. (Change the DPI settings to 1080p, yes crispness changes slightly nothing noticeable) I never had the moto x pure in auto brightness. I can see both displays just fine under the sun light. Moto x pure is brighter.
[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
Thank you. I'm still on the lookout for a phone that is *very good* under direct sunlight and can still be rooted.

Guess I'll stick with my MotoXP a while longer then if the OneP3 isn't any better in sunlight. :)

I am jealous of all the development your phone is already getting though!

I have been switching between an iPhone 6+, a OnePlus 2, and a Sony Z5 Premium Dual. So far I really like the OnePlus 3 but I've only had it one day. The Sony is a really good phone but I like the shape of the OP3 and the Alert slider that the Sony doesn't have. I'll probably carry the OP3 for a while before I considering switching again but I'm not going to totally ditch the Sony.

I'm picking up a Nexus 6P this week, would like to try out the latest Android N DP #4, but I always like to have Root on my phone, mainly for ad blocking and custom Kernels. So my phone will be brand new, should I just try out the Developer Preview before I do the whole Root and TWRP thing ? And then after that root it and install custom Recovery ?

I just didn't know if there were custom ROM's based off the Developer Previews ? Or at least Root available while running the N preview ?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
No all can be done on n unlock boot will wipe the phone then fastboot modified boot.Img that will decrypt the phone then twrp then flash SuperSU in twrp that should do it
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
PLEASE HELP:

Ok need a little help, I am following the excellent video by Rootjunky ( thank you :) ), and got through the unlocked bootloader part easily, and now installed TWRP Recovery, but upon first time booting into TWRP, it's just sitting at the Blue and Gray teamwin screen, and not doing anything else, it's not actually entering into the Recovery, to see the list of options, etc...

I powered the device down, and started up again in Fastboot mode, then chose Recovery, and does the same again, just sits at the blue gray colored teamwin screen, and does nothing.

What happened ?

UPDATE:

I powered the device down / off. Then started up again, it went and booted up, to the fresh clean Android N DP 4. But I am not rooted at all yet, due not being able to fully enter Recovery and flash the SuperSU zip yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] hotbyz168:
What exactly is it telling you? Does it seem the phone was stolen? Have you checked the imei to make sure it is not blacklisted? I believe swappa.com has a free imei check to see if it's tied into another person's account. $100 seems a little too cheap for this device.

After you installed the software, look for software recovery. I'm on mobile right now, I'd give you a direct link to the software otherwise.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] blackwaterstout:
The camera on my s5 active broke. I bought a replacement on eBay and watched several YouTube videos on how to replace. Unfortunately while removing the screen and sliding a guitar pick underneath the LCD I cut through a small part of the ribbon cable. The video said to start at the top of the phone which I think is a mistake. Anyway, I'm not going to bother replacing the screen as it's not cost effective and I already bought a Nexus 6p to replace it. But I would like to get some things off the phone that I had. Obviously my Google data was backed up just fine but I'd like to get some non Google filess from the phone.

The phone still works and turns on but the display is black. Is there a way I can plug the phone in to a computer and see what's on the screen of my phone. Maybe mirror what is supposed to be on the screen onto the computer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] UnseeingNine:
If it is just files you had saved, you should be able to get them just through file explorer if your phone isn't on the lock screen. If you have a phone repair place nearby, it might be worth asking if repairing the cable is an option. Worst they'll say is no.

Hi,

Theres some apps I want to try on my SMP, but I am receiving parsing error when trying to install. I think this is because their minimum requirement is lollipop but ib have jb. Is there a way to force them to install?

[General Questions and Answers] Jonathan Cortinas:
I'm not sure there is a way to force an app that has an os requirements. Remember some newest apps need certain hardware in new phones in oder to run so maybe your phone does not support the features the apps need.
