I have Xperia X8 and want to edit images in statusbar by editing systemui.apk (GingerXperia ROM). I opened it and i replaced images with winrar. But when I updated system i got error:
process com.android.systemui stopped unexpectedly and it can't load.
I edited framework-res.apk same way and working fine.
Can somebody help me how to make systemui.apk that will load?

APK Tool - Modifying Rosie.apk

Wasssup fellas! Ok so I'm no themer but I've started to delve into your world a little bit. I'm looking to draw on the experience of any of you that have successfully modified the Rosie. So here's my set up
I've got Apktool set up in Ubuntu before you ask I downloaded 1.3.1 not 1.3.2
I have all the dependencies in place
I've installed the framework (apktool if com.htc.resources.apk)
Rosie.apk decompiles with no errors (apktool d Rosie.apk out)
I've modified /res/values/colors.xml to add transparency to the app drawer? (This may be my issue)
Compiled (cd out/ .......apktool b) compiles with no errors
I've tried this signing Rosie.apk, Not signing it, Copying out the "Res" and "Resource" file and going into the original Rosie.apk with Ark Manager without extracting the archive and dropped in the "Res and "Resource" files.
Same result each time when I push the file via ADB or put it in a flashable zip the phone boots goes through the animation capacitive keys light up then the phone gets stuck on the last frame of the boot animation and just hangs there forever no boot loops just hangs there?
Any help would be more than appreciated, thanks guys!

After you've pushed the .apk - Type "adb logcat" and post it here.
I have been struggling with her too but I think I cracked her Just compile it again then use WinRAR (or whatever you're using) and take classes.dex from the newly compiled Rosie.apk and put the new classes.dex in the old Rosie.apk and then you should be fine. Ofc if you had modified some PNGs you would just take the res folder too
BTW could you tell me what to edit to get the transparent app drawer?
Bump. Did you ever get this working. I have been missing with Rosie.apk for about a week now. I am able to decompile, recompile and push without any errors. But non of my changes seem to take place.

I read somewhere that you also have to apply some changes to fusion.apk
If I can find the guide for this, I'll link it.

Need help with changing battery icons

Hey guyz. I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-i5503). I have installed froyo on it now from samfirmware.com. Right now I'm using a custom ROM from a guy named motafoca. I don't like the battery icons so I thought of changing it to the icons which indicated 1-100% and looked like the default one. So I pulled the framework-res.apk file from the framework directory and added the battery icons through 7zip. I also replaced the xml files in the drawable folder namely stat_sys_battery.xml, and two more files. After that the battery icon disappeared because I had the xml files from the battery mod. Figured out , it had got something to do with the xml file, I tried replacing the original files back but my phone got stuch in boot loop. So, I reflashed and its working now. After reading lot of information on this forum, I understood that we need to decompile the apk file so that we can edit the xml files. I did that and edited the xml files as necessary. Now, when I try to recompile the apk file with apk tool or apkmanager, I am getting an error saying the "Public symbol drawable/filename declared here is not defined" I am getting this error on many files including the ones that I have added. In one of the topics, somebody had suggested that we add the png files through 7zip without extracting the apk and then decompiling the apk so that the public.xml will autogenerate the ids for the new files, but that is not working. Can anyone help please? I am attaching the framework-res.apk file for reference.
Help!-

Bump!
Btw, did you ever get the answer?
Once you decompile the apk with apktool/apkmanager, and add your images and edited xml files, then you will need to delete res/values/public.xml; finally you can recompile the apk file and public.xml will be generated as it is building. Hope this helps.
I realize this is an old thread, but it appears the answer would still be appreciated.
I tried that, but it just gives me a bootloop.

[Q] resources.arsc not include

hi,
well i try it on systemui and framework-res.
With stock apk, i have no prob. decompiling and recompiling.
But if i change for example, an xml file for crt off in framework-res, and then recompile, (with suppressing of resources.arsc in keep folder of course), in the new apk i don't have the resource.arsc file.
i try on smali file too. I don't touch xml (so i let the resource.arsc in keep folder) but i modify a smali file. In the new apk, i have te resource.arcs but not the class.dex.
Anyone know why ? and how to resolve it ?
it happens as soon as i change a file. I am fed up with all of these. Help me please.
Thanks.

LGSettings3_1 apk decompiling and recompiling error

Welcome all,
I wanted to edit something in the strings.xml file after installing the framework apk and lg-res and after decompiling and editing what I want and then recompiling and copying META-INF folder and Androidmanifest file to the new compiled apk file then signing the apk file and then copying it to system/app when restarting the phone works normally but when trying to open the settings from the launcher the launcher FCs and when trying from the Status Bar the SystemUI FCs
btw I'm using IZS updated version
After that when I doubted my work
I did the previous steps but without changing any thing in the files just decompiling/compiling the files and signing and copying it
AND when I restarted the same problem happened so Does that mean I did something wrong or installing files was wrong or what ??
Thnx all
