Hi,
thanks to all the rooted ROMs here I was able to do some changes, like removing the SMS app and placing back the stock one. I am sure that something like it can be done with the phone/contacts as those APKs are around too.
What I don't know how to do is to get rid of the aweful touchwiz gray status bar, colored settings and mostly hideous 2.3-like dialogs that touchwiz uses.
I thought I just replace SystemUI.apk but that did not work at all, kept force-closing.
Can anone point me the right direction? Do I have to change the resources (png and XML) inside the systemui.apk and then repackage it? I know how to edit layout xmls since I am an app developer, but I never repackaged apks, especially when they come with OBEX classes.
Or is it not even possible without completely new ROM?
Some rooted roms here have black notification bar.
You might wanna check them out

Hi no only systemUI test change also in settings.apk and framwork-res.apk now for change on apk need deodexed one
Well I have tried the apktool to decompile, but that fails, surely because of it being odex apk.
What suprised me though is that the Minecraft-method fails too. That is removing META-INF and simply changing a few PNGs. That I thought would work. I did use zipalign 4 after changing those PNGs...
Give it time. They're still working on getting us a functional recovery.

Well I actually wanted to get into it and provide the stock-like SystemUI.apk for others
If anyone still interested...
I finally found a nice guide for deodexing here, did everything like I should - deodex, repackage, sign and zipalign, but SystemUI keeps crashing.
I never found anything about having a special signing key, but that's the only thing that I can think of that can be wrong.
try attached and if need complet rom try with mediafire link
http://www.mediafire.com/#bakk51bwngb9t i have cuted on 5 files just dezip using 7zip
and here have an autopatcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719408

Thanks, the deodexed attached apk works.
The question is what I did wrong Will try re-signing this one and if that fails I must be f-ing up the signing process I guess
(I should really stop double-posting)
So I tried to remove META-INF and sign manually using the debug.keystore from eclipse (used to develop apps) and SystemUI force-closes.
What am I doing wrong in the signing process that mine does not work and yours does?

Oh now I get it, you just created deodexed APK, which actually does not need resigning because you added classes.dex which was not there before.
It is still signed by Samsung original key and that's why your works.
So now my problem is how to get around the signature
Thanks anyway for steering me on the right track.

No-one has been able to do this yet. We have been trying for a long time. There is just something about the ASUS systemui that doesn't play nice.

The main themes are for non-asus ROMS, ie based on aosp. I believe reNeglect managed to figure something out with regards to ROMs based on asus firmware ie virtuous, but you would need to speak to him about that.
I don't know how forthcoming reNeglect will be, as people have not been giving him much love, and considering the amount of time and effort that he has spent working on his theme, I don't blame him for being pissed off.

no there was an edited systemui.apk for the stock rooted prime with locked bootloader. but the only thing changed was the settings menu and clock was change from blue to black. i dont have cwm.
I saw lots of theme which has this in their title. but I can't find any guide or tutorial about this. So, what is this? how could I use it? has it any benefit over usual "decompile/theme/recompile/replace"ing an apk?Is there any script to implement it like apktool?
Its the universal theme flasher created by Villain ROM.
As for all your other questions I'm not sure.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
thanks,
correct me if I'm worng pls.
Universal theme flasher, is kind of template. and I should extract compiled PNGs and xmls from apk file and paste theme into that. and for editing theme, I need to paste and replace those files into the apk file and then decompile that apk.
then what should I do if I changed something in "values" folder? cause it just appears in decompiled apps and It can't be seen in a compiled app.

I think after compiling the apk, you should copy the "classes" and the other file *-) I can remember its name, and add them there.
Am not sure *-) I had this question too but I thought abt trying it first and if it doesnt work I wld ask. I have no time to try I have exams

classes.dex is for the smali that has been edited if there was any.
I assume that if the xmls were edited and they point to new PNG images/objects then the resources has been changed. I would say that in this case you would need to have an updated resources file for these adjustments? This could be pulled from your newly compiled .apk that you want to base your flashable theme off?
I am unsure if resources needs to be updated though for certain? I have flashed in the past new xmls and they worked fine, however these were not referencing any new sources or images...so my thoughts are that these mods I made didn't require this additional file?? I could be wrong. I really should read the thread about it here on XDA. I did a long time ago, but have come a long way since then.
I diverse. Try using it without new resources file and see what happens?
You may also like to looking into Morphing as well (very similar concept).

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.

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.

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.

i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Hey guys.
I was wondering if it is possible to make the original s3 weather apk installable by changing its name and label. When I try installing it says another package with a conflicting signature is already installed. So if its name and label is changed and signed again, it may become installable as a normal apk. Can anyone help me in editing the name and label? I would do it myself but I cant figure out how to edit androidmanifest.xml and so I require help. Thanks
If anyone can help me. I can provide the weather apk.

So you need to decompile the apk and change the package name into AndroidManifest.xml then recompile and push your modified apk to your device. You won't be able to install updates for course.

The plan is to rename AccuWeather into AccuS3 and com.sec.????? Into com.sec.accus3.widget and resign the apk so I can install it as a normal apk. However, if it required the daemon and the main file. I'll have their name changed as well into AccuS3 daemon and AccuS3 main respectively. They, maybe, then work on all devices (maybe not on non-TW devices) but atleast galaxy users will get the s3 weather. But after many attempts, I failed to edit label, name and icon so I want someone to do this for me. I have the AccuWeather and AccuWeather main apk. but I will upload them if someone is willing to waste time on it and gives me green signal.

The plan is to rename AccuWeather into AccuS3 and com.sec.????? Into com.sec.accus3.widget and resign the apk so I can install it as a normal apk. However, if it required the daemon and the main file. I'll have their name changed as well into AccuS3 daemon and AccuS3 main respectively. They, maybe, then work on all devices (maybe not on non-TW devices) but atleast galaxy users will get the s3 weather. But after many attempts, I failed to edit label, name and icon so I want someone to do this for me. I have the AccuWeather and AccuWeather main apk. but I will upload them if someone is willing to waste time on it and gives me green signal.

Upload the apks and I'll see what I can do. With your Grand 2 you have TouchWiz but I'm not 100% sure it will work so you can already make a nandroid backup.

I dont have root otherwise, I would just flash the other provided apks. I cant flash, thats why I want an APK which is normally installable and normally deletable like any other application. Btw Thanks for the help

My apktool setup isn't set for Samsung apks so I'm not sure if it will work.
Anyway here is the modified apk: Download
Which error message do u have while trying to install the original apk?
Please upload your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk

Ok. Thanks for your help but their is still a problem.. APK is now installable Widget appears in my app drawer. Thanks to you but it says problem loading widget what is that supposed to mean? Do I have to install weather main and daemon as well?
Ps: where can I find these framework files? And can I find them on a non-rooted device

I've contacted a friend who develops TouchWiz ROMs so his has a better knowledge of Samsung. Stay tuned
It seems that there's a apk dependency or another incompatibility (weather's or TW's base...).
Moreover does this apk provide from the same Android version as yours?

Uhh. I don't know. I had them on my computer. I dont really remember where did I get this Apk. So it means it requires weather main and daemon as well to work right? So if I upload the weather alongwith its daemon and main file??? Do you think it will work? Install as a normal APK after some name or icon modifications or dependencies modification? Because the flashable zip has all three files and says to push in system/app. So if we simply modify all 3 APKs so they become normally installable. It will work right? Should I upload weather apk alongwith its supported weather main apk and daemon apk or is there no hope in accomplishing this project?

Yes you could try. I doubt that installing these apks as system apps will change something.

Installing as system app will change the weather ofcourse because it has TW support. Weather will recognise the TW and start working as it will take place of the default weather widget. But here is the problem. I dont have root so I CAN NOT install them as system app and replace the default weather. And that is the ultimate reason I want them as normally installable and deletable APK so I could install them on a non-rooted device. Because if this project is done well and started working. Millions will get a clean copy of s3 default weather like ACE, Y, S2 and other GALAXY users without having root.

Hey btw how to edit androidmanifest.xml? I tried several times but I cant read it via notepad++. It shows some symbol rather than letters.
