I'm trying to decompile the systemUI.apk to get into the xml files, but I'm getting errors from both APKtool and APK Manager. Is there a special trick to getting system files to decomp?

It's a custom apktool patched for honeycomb. Use the .jar file with dependencies just just you would with apktool. It currently will not recompile though due to the decompile causing some anomalies. BigRushDog is working on a fix for that.
I actually got a build that works from someone else.

Thanks for ur response... but i seem to have used all the apktools available... i can recompile the "-res.apk" but when i put it back to \system\framework ... the UI FCs and the notification bar doesnot load.
unfortunately od has stopped. >> is the message i get when i put the modified "-res.apk".
i have noticed one thing that the recompiled apk doesnot have META-INF folder... although i tried to copy it and gave a try but still no go...
what i am trying to do is using a themed apk like lidroid or crikelos res .. decompile .. change some text under the toggle buttons ...
what am i doing wrong... ?
hmm... have you tried setting back the permissions on your modified -res.apk in /system/framework? Mounting it before hand?
If you have, you may indeed try to ask some devs or someone who knows their way in recompiling apks as this is a sensitive matter to touch with and I'm moderately more on contributing stuffs rather than delving into the internal programmings on the android ecosystem.
hmmm.. i have changed permissions as well still... Thanks for taking the time out

Go to apkyool.yml
Edit with notepad++
And below
-1
Add -2
So it would look like
-1
-2
Then compile it lidroid-res again
Also make sure you have twframework-res.apk
And framework-res.apk installed

Only sign lidroid if you have signed every apk in your rom
I normally do this
Decompile apk
Make changes
Compile apk
Go to original apk
Press right
7-zip
Open as archive
Delete res
Delete resources.arsc
Leave the 7-zip archive open
Go to
The decompiled folder
Go to build/apk
Copy all except androidmanifest.xml to the archive
Then its done you have an apk

The keep folder contains the stock files unchanged..So if you changed a smali in your project folder you'll have to delete the classes.dex in the keep folder,if you changed xml you'll have to delete the resources.arsc in the keep folder..

Short answer: yes
Long answer: you can extract smali classes from .odex files too but better don't mess with odexed apps, apktool do it automatically for .apk files but it wont work for odexed apps becouse all the classes are in .odex file outside the apk, the deodexed apk contains all the classes in a .dex file inside the apk and that is what apktool is looking for

The reboot options are located in the framework files, in android.policy.jar if I remember well. It's really hard to add those in smali.

I think your problem is the AndroidManifest.xml file. Everytime you recompile a system app, the apktool (or aapt binary) doesn't correctly compile this particular file. So you have to copy and replace inside the new created apk, the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from the original apk.
It worked,thanks,now is booting And i just Need to fix SystemUI (statusbar not appearing) !

SystemUI is very sensitive in XML editing. You have to be really careful to not delete some components from the XMLs (imageview, relative layouts, widgets). Some can be deleted, usually the simple ones like TextView or some drawables. But for the rest, the SystemUI will appear as uninstalled in your system, even after a clean re-compile.
Infact that was what i got,SystemUI not installed. Fixed by rebuilding my ROM (just delete everything and re-start from scratch and it worked. Thanks alin for your precious tips ! :*
