Anyone know if this file can be used? I am presuming not. But there really is no documentation on that site about this type of thing.
Is that ROM already themed? It has to be with a stock framework for that kitchen to work.
I'd say so. It says "Modified version of Gingerbread Theme".
I wonder what I need to do to get Circle Batt then. I'll ask in that thread, in the meantime if you have any thoughts, it is appreciated.

I say use a stock framework, get the pngs for the battery from the kitchen. Open up the kitchen apk with winrar/7zip (doesnt matter if you unzip to extract them) pull all the batt icons out and drop them into the ROM framework that you want to use (do not unzip the framework, explore apk contents using winrar/7zip).
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'd say if I had the stock framework, the UOT Kitchen would have worked. Problem is, I don't have the stock framework.
I have posted a query on the thread. One person there said the UOT worked for him. I don't know if he got that same error I did or not. I'm tempted to ask for his file...but then I want to be sure. I think I'll have to reload completely again if it borks my load (at least that's all I know to do when that happens).
Getting tired of flashing lately. Hoping to settle for a while

When making my battery mod for the Gingerbread theme, this is what I did, and it worked perfectly.
Any suggestions on where I can get the stock file?
Oh, and did you apply that to the Assonance 5.0 ROM? I see from your SIG that you are on Perception Build 3, which was not Gingerbread.

ANY stock framework.... All you need is the pngs inside.

To be more precise, you are saying to 'replace the pngs inside', right?
My comfort zone is to use UOT Kitchen. I tried the replace once, and somehow screwed things up.
So it sounds like I can take any 2.2 framework-res.apk, and run it through the kitchen and use it.
But, then I've tried using one that worked, for example, from a Cognition 3, and use on a 4 (Maybe not those specific builds), and it didn't work.
Having been burned on this from a couple different angles, I'm just a bit skittish.
Couldn't you just get the *.png's from FightSpit's original thread for his Circle Batt Mod?
Then just put them into your framework-res.apk and re-apply using your favorite tool (ADB Push or Root File Manager).
Maybe. I was told I need the 'original' framework file. but maybe that's only if i want to use UOT, which was in fact my question. That is my preference, but I'm coming to see that it is impossible if you have a modified theme.

Never, ever, use a framework-res.apk that was not part of the original rom in question.
PNG files are easily replaced using any zip file editor.
Sent from my Captivate.
So just so I'm understanding correctly, if I want to customize the battery pngs manually (or any png for that matter?) I can:
Upload a stock 2.2 framework to UOT Kitchen, pull out the pngs, place them in say Perception 9's or Assonance 5's framework-res.apk? Can I also just create pngs using an image editor and drop those in?
How would I reapply using adb or Root File Manager? Do I need to use a tool of some sort to sign the apk after I change the pngs?
I'm trying to get into doing my own theming... so still learning! I'm using this guide to get started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817998.
the kitchen seems to be having issues for me as well. no matter what framework-res i use i get errors. even stock ones.

I'm looking for a way to remove the brightness bar because it takes up too much room. I always use my tab in landscape, so that extra room would help with viewing notifications. Anyone have an idea if this is possible or how its done? Thanks!
Its not possible....at least nothing easily done.

Hi TheChampJT, Hi Ayman07
Just Decompile framework-res.apk with :-
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk framework-res
then edit file
framework-res\res\layout\zzzz_quickpanel_brightness_settings.xml
do what you want to do....
recompile with
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res out\framework-res.apk
You have to install Java and apktool first....
Good Luck...
Sounds simple. Maybe an entire saturday.

So if im playing risky and delete it, any other xml files i need to edit other then ..\framework-res\res\values\public.xml ?
Removing lines in public.xml and deleting zzzz_quickpanel_brightness_settings.xml results in many errors when rebuilding apk
bad idea.. way to brut.

Do not delete file...just edit..resize the bar height to 0
and do not edit public.xml
errors in recompilation may be due to .9.png. to proof, just decompile, recompile without editing

It's not easy because of deep integration. If you remove it you'll get many FCs.
But you can make it smaller like me (see screenshot).

Do you mean:- ?????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942561
What strikes me is by decoding and building only the original i still loose 87883 bytes in the prosess. Is the compiler compressing better?
tested this version and still jam..geez this is suppose to be easy
The recompiled apk is without signature, so that is the diff.
and you cannot use the recompiled apk as it is.
You have to manually drag and drop:-
-resources.arsc file
-res folder
from unsigned recompiled apk to the original signed apk
The generated apk may diff in size according to the changes made
regards.
tnx for your reply..
did what u pointed out, but still it jams..I use 7zip soft, do you recommend something other? The prosess of moving asset+res works fine between signed<-build, but when i overwrite my current running framework, the icon changes to a unreconized icon and everything chrashes..
I know my editing is good, it must be the damn signing thingy..I think 7zip is repacking and therefore brakes the signing in some way..
Hi biopsin,
use winrar and open both signed and unsigned apks, select both res folder and resources file and drag them together from unsigned and drop them onto signed apk...wait for extracting, then winrar will ask you for the method; you have to choose zip, store:-
Finally solved.. Problem is when decompile, it creates in res-folder "...-en-hdpi-v4, ...-hdpi-v4," so on why does it add -v4 to these folders? did not noticed this at first..
I'm unfortunely failing removing the brightness panel..manage to move it and shrink it but not setting it =0
followed the example here
im suppose to override hight and width..but i cant quite figure it out..
would someone maybe supply a suggestion?

Just get the source and cross-compile it against the Android SDK. You'll need to recode the kernel to run on a non-intel CPU though.

Did you try the
Apk manager if framework-res with the newest framework that can cause errors when compiling and decompiling
Also were you trying to decompile and already themed framework? That fails 9 times out of 10

Put the framework-res in the folder that has apk tool in it I think apk manager stores it in the "other" folder. Then navigate to the folder in cmd line e.g. "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\other" then type "java -jar apk tool if framework-res" if it doesn't error out and goes back to the cmd line then you should be good I might have the command wrong but im close

i'm just going to wipe my windows 7 portion of my computer and back up all my files to my linux mint side and then re-install and set up my windows 7 ulimate partion and see if it works (btw what version of java does apktools need? 1.5 or 1.6 jdk? and does it need jre & jdk or just one?)
and then i'll do the same for my linux partition except i'll use ubuntu instead of linux mint this time. hopefully one of the two can get apktool working (preferrably both ) but we'll see this weekend when i do all that. right now....*yawn* i'm going to sleep
i have a good feeling that that will work this weekend

Recompile? How did you get it decompiled?
I have the same problem.. Themeing the keyboard isn't the issue it's easy to do.. simply replace the old keyboards with the newly theme'd keyboards then sign it done and done..
my problem is I want to theme the predictive text view/area for example I made a pink type theme for a friend of mine with black font/ they want the predictive text area to match that or be black font on a white bg..
also when it comes to changing the colour of the swype line that can be done with hexediting since I've seen many posts on that...
I seen some posts you made before on this issue and apparently from what someone else said on that thread this is caused by a limitation of the apktool/apk manager... I hope its not the case.
I've seen some of your themes on your sig links what exactly are you changing that you need to decompile swype for?

Same thing as you. No problem to change the keyboards, but you have to decompile to change the colors of the predictive text, trace color, etc.

Thanks. Yeah, v3.23 decompiles without errors, but that version of Swype has different key sizes than 3.6 and 3.25. I would have to redo all my themes. Too much work. I did post a reply in that thread. So far, no response.
Fixed!
Hey, not sure how closely you have been following this issue. Awhile back I found this and commented posting my exact error with swype when decompiling:
code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=197
which is a duplicate of this that was already posted:
code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=195
Long story short didn't keep track of it until now decided to check up on it and I am excited to see that it was fixed and tested it out replacing my apktool.jar with the newer 1.4.2 that was released.
I'm happy to say that it successfully decompiled swype! (3.25). Just in time too, the new version of Swype came out recently and now is forcing everyone to update. Simple mod will fix this . (I'll be sticking with the newest version of Swype but my friend is to attached to their theme I made haha.)
Anyways happy theming!

unzipped .apk and tried axmlprinter2:
It sounds a lot like the systemui.apk resources have malformed or invalid xmls, what rom source are you using exactly?
Try decompiling 506/507 to see if any of those work first, i'm guessing you're using the ones from r6.
yes r6, I though I have tried others even from a stock ROM. I wasnt able to extract system.img as I have in the past (Im on windowze) because I restored my laptop and all my tools are gone.
If you could check when you have time to try to decompile any honeycomb systemui.apk I would be grateful as I have been researching a lot, and Im sure its just a waste, as you say this is malformed or "hack" compiled Im sure.. not saying it was DJ's doing..
and rather that try to extract system .img with windows.. ( ive tried yaffs expert.apk.. no help) and cygwin.dll, with unyaffs.exe, and wunyaffs, both end up with stack trace dump. which tells me this .apk is bad news. I think it said something about a permissions error with unyaffs; My next step was going to fastboot 507/508 system.img and then pull systemui.apk, likely could screw up my ROM. I like R6 though works best for me.
thanks for the help TheManii
would you be able to unpack 506/507 system.img and just send me the .apk I will try to decompile if you are busy or just let me know if youre able to decompile one.. that would be a tremendous help.
this is definetly something we should not be seeing on an official ROM correct??
the system.img inside the 50x pkgs are ext4, not yaffs2, you'll need something that can read ext3/4 partitions to open it.
but i'm getting the same error in decompiling the systemui.apk in 506-wifi, you might want to ask brut about this, afaik the latest apktool can decompile normal HC level apks.
As an aside, I wouldnt expect r6 themes to be compatable with r7+ as r7+ are based on 507, same reason cwm isnt compatable with r6
at the least I think it should just decompile with errors and just display the multiple resources. so you're getting this on an official ROM, thats not good coding is it?
coding is serious business though. I will have to post on bruts google project page.
found this, a few people have same issue.

huh, was it really part of api13? i figured it would have been 11/12
but one of the hc releases (i guess it was 3.2/api13) introduced dpxnn support, if you look at systemui.apk\res\layout-sw600dp or drawable-sw600dp-mdpi they overlap with the normal versions because it provides a more granular approach.
Didnt know apktool still doesnt support it. Regardless all api13+ apps should be doing it this way preferably.
more research finds this..
The "multiple resources" problem occurs when the same resource appears in two configurations in the apk (e.g. two screen sizes), which are not detected by apktool in ResConfigFlags.java. In the two cases above, the problematic resource appears in both the default config and the XLARGE config which apktool does not detect. Therefore, apktool tried to add the same resource to the default config twice rather than creating an XLARGE config space.
Ferenc Boldog's fix in https://github.com/fboldog/brut.apktool/commit/1b6d63cb355d4a36274f5edf0383a2c4e6e0f868 solves that particular problem by adding XLARGE support. Thanks Ferenc!
know how this boldog's file might work on windows?? I emailed brut.all to see if I could get a beta..
If it works without any further mods you can recompile it or wait for the next ver of apktool, i'm guessing that part/fix will be in it.
You'd need at least the jdk to compile it, and depending on file structure, linux
it seems I have found an apktool for sdk13 posted by brut on his page.. I need to get my own SDK13v aapt.exe though, updating my android sdk manager now... installing 4.0 too , this could be a while..
here is the .zip I found for sdkr13 (3.2), give it a shot if you have the latest sdk and aapt, curious if it works.
got it... woo hoo stoked! needed sdk r13 aapt.exe , didnt work with apktool 1.4.1 but did with another apktool for for 3.2
That's good news, as I'll also need to eventually recompile 3.2 apks if i ever get around to adding full langs into chimeradroid
and I got status bar clock themed for my ICS theme... cool..

I'm still having a ton of issues with this, could one of you walk me through it? I'm working with the Asus Transformer, but having the same issue. I can now decompile properly with apktool, but compiling just fails miserably...
I have apktool 1.4.2, but apparently the new aapt.exe is needed? Would you be able to give me a link to that?
updated first post. attached .zip of apktool and files that worked for me.
@JDV28, are you decompiling a stock .apk? or themed .apk? and what kind of changes are you making? .xml edits? .9.png's? and what a re the errors? so we can try to help.

I think I figured out my own issue, I was decompiling and recompiling a themed SystemUI.apk, and if I remember correctly, that doesnt work.
Am I right? If so, why??
Also, I am getting a 9patch error like you said in the pm, any fix for that? that's the only issue now.
Personally I would suggest making any.xml edits , recompiling then dragging .9's and any other .png's and dropping them into the new .apk arhive. You could try xultimate search for it I think its on Droid forums.

You just need the command "apktool if twframework-res.apk" or whatever the filename you want to install is.

he means:
first install the framework-res.apk from the to apktools
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
after this you can decompile and recompile SystemUI.apk
and for Android 4.0.x use apktool version 1.4.3 [MODDING/THEMING] Apktool for ICS apks
??? not sure about the framework advice.
The error you're getting is right there:
