I've been trying for the past couple of weeks to change the clock color on my SGP 5.0. I searched around on the forums and followed a lot of instructions word-for-word on editing .xmls from the SystemUI.apk and the framework-res.apk. Still, I cannot get the clock color to change.
I had intended to change the clock's color to #33B5E5 (ff33b5e5), and then when that was done, remove the AM/PM. But, at this point, I am so frustrated and would appreciate any assistance from the community.
P.S. - I would be happy to upload the SystemUI and framework-res apks that I am working with if someone can do it for me.
Oh, by the way, I am running stock ROM with themed apks.
Android 2.3.6
KRKPD (because this firmware is the only one compatible with the apks I modded)

Changing the clock color requires editing smali in systemui. Don't worry, it's not too difficult.
I'll link you to the guide once I find it.

Klin,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I have no doubt that you know what you're talking about. It's just that I was surprised at what you said, because I was under the impression that there were no smali edits needed with gingerbread. Correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am).
Thanks again.

That's weird... I've never run into anything like that before.
You could extract the classes.dex from the apk with 7zip and then baksmali it.

Wait.. Are you deodexed?
You need to be using a deodexed rom so all your apks will have smali in them.

Just pull the 1 zip or 2 zips from the rom, & explore for you're self, I think its the system ui but could be wrong, I'm not near my computer at the moment to check so I can't say exactly which one it is? If you're gonna mod the battery icons you're gonna look inside anyway & I takes like 10secs to extract & search the apk? If you don't wanna do that, there are various apps in the playstore you can download for free to look at the framework pics from inside the apks without opening them! Hope this helps.... press thanks if it did

As Maarten already pointed out SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. And if you want to use them in apktool you'll also need com.htc.resources.apk.
Just out of curiosity: are you going to use UOT or apktool? Been trying to change status bar clock colour on half-sense and fulmix (see my post in his thread) with apktool but haven't succeeded yet.
What are your plans on theming?
Just pull the zips & open using winrar? Thts what I've been doing for around 4yrs now

It gives you this errors because there is classes.dex file on it. Delete it and than decompile.

Open with WinRAR or 7-Zip delete classes.dex and than decompile with apktool.
Note: you do not have to extract apk to delete classes.dex file.

Make a SystemUI.apk without classes.dex and put that in you ROM and release to all users to test. If it works, I will resign from making ROMs.

Use latest apktool, bad magic value errors fixed in new version.

SystemUI must have classes.dex; there is where all the instructions (the smali files) come from for the apk to work. Like what to run for the EQS and many more.
As mentioned on the link given above
Code:
b) If you are using apkmanager, you can just export classes.dex, then delete classes inside the apk. Then decompile, edit, compile and add classes.dex back when ready.

Hi, I am hoping that one of the Android developers on here might be able to give me a bit of advice please regarding editting my 'framework.jar' file.
I have a Jiayu G3 phone running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but my caller ID is not functioning properly because it is not matching local & international numbers. Having done a lot of searching it appears that this is probably due to the parameters in the 'framework.jar' file as per this post on xdadevelopers here
I have succesfully decompiled the 'framework-res.apk' file using apktools and confirmed that the 'config_use_strict_phone_number_comparation' variable is set to false. However, I am having trouble decompiling the 'framework.jar' file.
I have copied the 'framework.jar' file from my phone and opened it in a Jave decompiler. However, all I am presented with is the following:
Code:
META-INF
MANIFEST.MF
preloaded-classes
(See attached image)
In the xda post it says the following:
II) Check for and fix MIN_MATCH constant in telephony framework
1) Decompile framework.jar
2) Open smali/android/telephony/PhoneNumberUtils.smali
3) Search for MIN_MATCH constant and set it to 0x7
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...but I don't appear to have that in mine.
Am I doing something wrong.
If anyone could offer any advice I would be very grateful.
Many thanks
Russell
P'S. I tried replying about this in the original xda post itself but I don't have authorisation to post in the developers section so I thought I would try here instead.
So, is no one able to help me with this then. All the searching I've done indicates that when I decompress 'framework.jar' then I should have 'classes.dex' inside. However I don't have that.
Can anyone explain to me why this is please before I pull the rest of my hair out.
Thanks

You have to use apktool and apply the command to decompile..
eg.
apktool d framework.jar
this in cmd, will create a new folder named framework.jar.out, then you navigate inside this folder were all the smali's files are etc..
PS. you can't open framework.jar in java decompile, you can open framework.jar extract the classes.dex then use dex2jar tool and turn it back into framework_classes.jar this is the one that can be viewed with java decompilers
Does annybody know....
Where i can find a clean Settings.apk for the GE 4.3 (i9505) that i can mod? (Decompile/Recompile)

No no, you just need to deodex your ROM then, luckily for you I've got a little thread here - [Info/How-To/Tools] Deodexing Made Easy... - which will help you with that, obviously ignore the Xperia Z Users part and give the rest a read.

I'm having a problem recompiling the systemui.apk, i'm modding some .xml files and everything goes fine, it recompiles ok but when i push it to my phone there's no change i decompile the modified apk and the xml files aren't change either it's like i didn't change anything from them.
Every single time a recompile an apk it goes back to normal
Does anyone else has that problem or is just me , and does someone knows how can i fix that problem?
INFO :
Windows 8 pro
Using : Apktool , Auto apktool and tickle my android (in all of them i get that same problem)
Thanks in advance, regards

You need to install it before decompiling.
I suggest you to use "Android Multitool" (Do not confuse with APK Multitool).
It has nice GUI insterface.
Try with it.
There is menu to install framework.

You need to install it before decompiling.
I suggest you to use "Android Multitool" (Do not confuse with APK Multitool).
It has nice GUI insterface.
Try with it.
There is menu to install framework.

See these are why tools like APKMulitool are not that friendly.. My suggestion to you is Google "apktool" find the Google developers site, download it.. Place all files in folder on C:\ and name it apktool..open cmd prompt at that destination..so it would be C:\apktool, then type in cmd prompt:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
this installs the framework..
To decompile apk..place that apk in that folder then type in cmd prompt
Code:
apktool d settings.apk
to recompile..
Code:
apktool b settings

Post a screen shot of you installing framework.. What ROM are you decompiling this from?
The problem I think is resulting from framework not installing properly..

I have uploaded framework and setting apk, Maybe one of you can try to decompile it and if it works tell me what kind of environment you have have set up?

Hi there,
sorry for warming up this thread. I don't find the Settings.apk:
C:\Program Files\_Android\SDK\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
59973133 device
C:\Program Files\_Android\SDK\platform-tools>adb pull /system/app/Settings.apk
remote object '/system/app/Settings.apk' does not exist
So the device (Kyocera KC-S701 unrooted) seems to be connected, but no Settings.apk. Also not when using "adb shell" with "cd system/app" + ls.
A bunch of files but no Settings.apk.
Any ideas?
