General :: APKTool And SystemUI No Status Bar?
Apr 12, 2013
My ROM for the Note 2 is a TW base (people want the S-Pen functions). And they like the AOSP feel so i decided to try and make a ROM that is AOSP themed. Well i have the launcher and a few AOSP themed apps such as the messaging app.
The flashers were very satisfied with my work so far. But they wanted an AOSP themed status bar. Meaning some AOSP battery images wifi and so on. I decided just just replace the EXACT images. I used a cm10 ROM to get the pngs. I also did use the newest Apktool to do it. I did all the framework installation. I decompiled both and started transfering. Here is what i did. I went to the drawable-xhdpi folder in both ROMs. They had pretty much identical png names. But the icons were different (one being the blue theme) so i took the blue icons (battery and wifi) and transfered them to my rom. I made sure that only the pngs with the same names were transfered. so there wasnt any issue compiling.
Next i compiled the APK file.Then i used my backup systemui.apk file to transfer the META-INF folder to the new one using 7-zip.Then i went and signed it and used dsixda's android kitchen to zipalign it. Then after all that i pulled that apk from the zipaligned folder and put it on my phone's sd card. I have the root explorer app. I move it to my /system/app folder. It moved successfully. Then i reboot and when it comes back up i dont have a status bar. And my wallpaper is black for a little while and then goes back to the feather thing.
I have tried signing and not signing. Zipaligning and not zipaligning.I am really wanting the AOSP themed icons in the status bar.

I tried to decompile the Gmail.apk with Apktool, but it said: can't decode attr value, value=0x00004001. And after that some more errors.
I tried it with and without framework install first, and I got the latest version of Apktool. Still nothing works, although I can decompile other apps.

I have made a CM7 theme and I'm unable to compile it. I have investigated it a little and found out that if I decompile a theme and then compile it back without ANY change, it gives the following error:
Code:
chris@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ apktool b xres
W: Could not find sources
I: Checking whether resources has changed..[code]....

I have been playing with apktool to learn how apps are made. Decompiled following the guide from this forum.
However I can't find what I'm looking for in the apps. For example, it's easy to edit the drawable folders of the apps and change the images.
I took some apps that gather feeds from news sites and I tried to find where are the feeds URLs coded or embedded inside the apps files, and could not find any info at all. No URLs at all. I opened the XMLs, and other files inside res, lib or smali folders, opened a lot of the files with Notepad++ and I can't find any information about it, or any place where the app connects to the website.
Is it possible to access that info when we decompile with apktool?
I also watched a lot of videos in YouTube, on how to edit apps with apktool, and all of them explain how to change the images, but nothing else.
Is it only possible to edit the theme/design of an app, when we decompile with apktool? Or can we go further and change something else?

I'm interested in an app to decompile apps within android. Something like ninjamorph would be great however ninjamorph seems to do the equivalent of extracting an apk instead of leaving an editable app with readable xml files. What is the likelihood of something like this happening? What is preventing it from happening?

I don't want to use APK Multi-Tools or APK_Manager or whatever. I want to know exactly what those tools are doing in order to recompile the system apk while keeping the original signature.
What I initially did...
Code:
apktool d "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1"
...modify files here...
apktool b "%~dpnx1" "%~dpnx1.apk"
But obviously that's unsigned. I need to sign it, but I want to use the original signature, which I'm guessing is the META-INF stuff, right? So I attempted this...
Code:
apktool d "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1"
7za x -o"%~dpnx1-signature" "%~dpnx1.apk" META-INF -r
...modify files here...
apktool b "%~dpnx1" "%~dpnx1.apk"
7za a -tzip "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1-signature/*" -mx9
You'll notice I now use 7-Zip to pull out META-INF from the original APK and then insert it back into the recompiled one afterwards.
The only other thing I can think of would be to go with my first method, but then use 7-zip to pull out the compiled files from the unsigned apk and insert them into the signed apk. I haven't tried that yet, but it will be the next one I go with. Every time this fails, though, I have to do a nandroid restore.
For those interested, after running "apktool b" (to build/compile), ignore the output zip. Instead go into the source directory and there is now a build directory. In that is an apk directory. Simply add your changed files to the original untouched APK (if you modified any XML files, then replace resources.arsc; if you added anything to smali, then replace classes.dex; if you added any XML files, then you need to include those as well; for me, i copied resources.arsc, classes.dex, and one new XML file). I used the following command:
Code:
zip -9 ..SystemUI.apk reslayoutstatus_bar.xml classes.dex resources.arsc
I use zip instead of 7za for cosmetic reasons. You can also use "7za a -tzip etc..." if you want.

I'm trying desperately to edit some files inside SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but I'm having some troubles...
I wanted to post in the specific thread of the program : [URL] but I'm not allowed to, because it's my first post here.
First I used only apktool, I managed to decompile my 2 files with no problems, I replaced a few *.png files and tried to recompile it but I'm getting errors... (I only manage to recompile the files if I don't edit a thing)
Then I tried APK Multi Tool, I achieved to decompile my 2 files (with the option 9 in the program), but I can't recompile them after editing my files. So I decided to make a test, I tried to decompile and recompile (I hit 9 then 11 in the choice case) them WITHOUT changing a thing and I get errors anyway. If I use the choice 1 (only extract the apk), do my editing and then zip the project (with the choice 3), directories are wrong inside the new *.apk, I get "projectsSystemUI.apk(res or smali, etc...)" so the *.apk result is not usable
Here is the log file when I try to recompile WITHOUT changes :
Code:
I: Baksmaling...
I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.

When I decompile my systemui using any of the apktool available i run into problems.
Most of the pngs and xmls are fine. Although the only file i want to change doesn't decompile correctly.
The file is res/values/drawables.xml
Alot of the file decompiles fine but i also get this message repeated several times in the xml
<item type="drawable" name="APKTOOL_DUMMY_0086">false
This is repeated about 20 times.

I was trying to decompile, modify and then recompile my SystemUI.APK to put THIS mod into it. I am using THIS TOOL.... Now I can successfully decompile my SystemUI.APK, but when I go to recompile it, nothing happens and there is nothing in the recompiled folder.
BTW I have a Sprint GS4 running a custom ROM (TouchWiz based) on Android 4.3.

so recently I have been trying to mod systemUI.apk with apk multi-tool. I decompiled it, made some very minor edits (some smali stuff), recompiled, put on my sdcard, moved it to system/app, renamed it to delete the "system_" part, changed permissions to rw-r--r and rebooted.
When i rebooted, my wallpaper was gone and was just black, I had to recent apps menu and no status bar. I checked settings -> app -> all and systemUI wasn't there
I have already tried wiping cache + dalvik cache and still my new systemUI.apk is not recognised.

I'm very familiar with using APKTool and Compiling/Decompiling Apps. I've run into a problem with the framework-res and SystemUI apps.
Current ROM/App info:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Android 4.2.2 (Samsung Touchwiz)
Framework Installed in APKTool: framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
APKTool Version: 2.0 (I've tried almost every version of APKTool and AAPT)
Java Version: 1.7 (as required by APKTool 2.0)
OS: Windows and Linux (same results on each OS)
The framework and SystemUI apps decompile fine. No errors and all the XML/Smali files are perfect. The problem is that I can not recompile either of them. Each time I attempt, I get the same error regarding the Android Manifest file....
Code:
brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: c
rut_util_Jar_8264547236691306049.tmp, p, --forced-package-id, 127, --min-sdk-version, 17, --

I know some dev's have been able to sucessfully compile these apps .
FYI - I have even tried compiling the stock apps without any mods and I get the same errors.

I have just purchased Samsung Galaxy S3 Clone (Mediatek 6575). Its Android 4.2 Jelly bean.It was working perfectly fine only had issue that it's wifi was catching signals really weak. I mistakenly factory reset my phone which cause to no boot up animation. Its just blank when i turn on or off my phone. To fix that i rooted my phone as to get into root files i need to root it.
Since i rooted my phone the issue i am having is it says "System UI Stopped working" , "Touch wizard stopped working". Now what should i do, i am really worried.
I tried going into the CWM recovery but its not going, it was going in stock recovery before now its not even going in the stock recovery its just all blank.Now what should i do, its okay if i don't get the bootup logo/ shutdown logo but atleast i have to remove these errors. How can i unroot my phone ?
My Phone hardware is Mediatek 6575 , android 4.2 jellybean.
When the error "System UI stopped working" appears the background becomes black and the notification bar disappears.

I rooted the Huawei Ascend Y300, and with my new-found power i for some reason decided it was a good idea to delete the system UI...
So now the screen is just black, I can't access anything and it keeps coming up with "systemUI has stopped responding".
I tried downloading Huawei's official firmware from their website, and flashed the device, but whilst installing it said "update error" and wouldn't install it.

I have a Matricom .TAB Nero 7" tablet running Android 4.0.1 and I have accidentally bricked it. I tried changing the resolution in build.prop to 130 and the launcher and SystemUI repeatedly crash on boot. I can't open any apps and I can't get into recovery mode. When I use Vol Up + Power it goes to an Android guy on his back with a red triangle with a ! in the middle, but no options to go into recovery mode. Is there any way I can rescue my tablet with my computer or another tablet?
I forgot to mention that using Vol Up + Power on the red triangle screen does nothing at all. I have Android SDK installed on my computer, can I do anything with this? The firmware version is 1.5 and the model number is SoftwinerEvb. The build number is nuclear-evb-eng 4.0.1
