Can't remember exactly which one but you want to mod these apks - settings, framework, lidroid, system ui, & if I remember right from htc devices.... also the Rosie.apk too. You're know which one controls what when you start searching!

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

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 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.

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).

iirc clock color is in services.jar. you'll need to baksmali it, edit the relevant file, and compile it again (smali).
I believe you need to resign the framework-res.apk again once you have compiled it.

It depends on what version of Android you're on. If you're on Gingerbread or above, decompile SystemUI.apk and look at res/layout/status_bar.xml.
If your clock has its own individual line of code, you can add this parameter:
Code:
android:TextColor="#00ffffff"
This will make the clock a pure white colour.

It gets compressed when you re-compile it. You should take out the resources.arsc, rename the apk to framework-res.zip, then add the resources.arsc with no compression (store mode) - rename it back to framework-res.apk..

If you're using 7zip, you don't need to rename the apk. Just extract and add. I know it only saves a few seconds but every little bit counts!

OK. Out of the framework .apk THAT YOU UNZIPPED, take the resources file, and the res folder (the whole folder; in which u made the changes) and "inject" (put them inside of) them into the ORIGINAL/UNZIPPED .apk. open the original .apk, drag the modified res folder and the resourses file and drop them into the original apk. U should b prompted as to whether u want to replace the existing files, say yes. Otherwise it might just replace them without asking for confirmation. Make sure that the files were properly transfered. Now take that UNZIPPED .apk that u just put those files in, and place it on the root of your SD card.
Use a file explorer to navigate to the apk on ur SD card, and put that in place of the one that's on ur phone. Make sure u give it the permissions that it needs.

A little question here. I'm on 4.0.4 rooted and with unlocked boot.
I want to remove the “AM/PM” in the clock area when is at 12hrs format.
I tried modifying a file in SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy called “Clock.smali”.
The line exactly said “.local v5, amPmStyle: I”, I deleted the value and flashed it back to my device and doesn't worked, it shows AM/PM again.
Maybe I'm at the wrong .smali file? Can you give me a hand? I know if I use 24hrs format it wouldn't show AM/PM, but I'm from Venezuela, here we use 12hrs format.

I don't know for sure, but instead of just deleting the value, try replacing the 1 with a 0....I don't know the android system in and out yet, so I'm not sure if ur even attacking the right file. But that sounds like a place I would try, but I would try it with a dif value, not just deleting it...

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

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...

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.

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?

You can use ninjamorph for changing status bar background image
But it will only work if the status_bar.xml has a @drawable value for status bar background
If it doesn't and has a hexadecimal value it will not work as it's not pointing to a picture that can be changed
You will need to decompile the SystemUI.apk and change the value to @drawable/name of image and then place the image in the drawable-ldpi folder
You can change any other status bar image but it's a slow way of doing it as you can only change one image at a time (you can change as many as you like before you confirm change & apply I mean you cant multi select)
It's easier to unzip the apk & replace files
At op - to avoid confusion of warze instead of posting link to Dropbox post the link to download from the playstore - will also mean people will be downloading latest version
This is playstore link

You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone

Depends what you tried to change
For example of if you tried to change the status bar background image and there's not an entry in status_bar.xml for a @drawable png image it would be impossible to change using ninjamorph as there is no pointer to an image in systemui.apk
And of course you have to finish the project and apply changes without zip aligning
It does work if used correctly and for the right use
You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone
(there are apps to edit xml files on phone but they don't work with android compressed xml files within apk)
[\QUOTE]
I was know that it can done on pc i was taking ninja moeph
ROM EVOLUTION X3
KERNEL HELL FUSION
ALINS JB THEME + EVOLUTION S3 STATUS BAR.

is this a debate thread?
ninjamorph is just a simple and user friendly tool
there is also a script that manages to change png files using terminal emulator
i use both.
i dont like extract and rezip for some reasons
Please stop all of this.... Its just a app..
So if any one want and they don't know about it then they can get...
So please stop arguing about which bad or good app... As all apps are made by some efforts of developer, so we should respect that effort instead of argueing about which is best !
op you were not the first here. it is already introduced to us. with tutorial on how to use the ninjamorph and the dos and dont. with screenshot and examples of finished products too. try to search the forum before posting

Hi guys !
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

Already read it and that's what i've been doing, and like i said the changes aren't saved. Every time i delete o put some codes in the xml file with notepad++ i save them but after i recompile the apk i decompile it again to check if everything's alright but the files look like the original ones.

Yep, the recompile goes ok. I wanna change the toggle icons and wanna move the icons in the status bar.
And actually ticklefish already help me with that and when i push it nothing happen either, so i don't think it's a prob with win8 cuz before i didn't had that problem, it started this week
The systemUi is from honami i1 rom from aneel, i already install the framework from the rom.
