Can anybody describe me how to decompile this apk? I was trying with apktool and apkmultitool with no luck..
You should be able to use winrar. If your wanting to modify files, just pull them out, modify, then drag and drop back into the winrar window to replace the existing ones.

No, it's more complicated than that. If you want to do any. Xml editing you need apktool.
There is enough information about this in the apktool thread in the general android hacking and software section

If you just want to do some basic theming to framework-res.apk and systemui.apk all you really need is 7zip and a way to sign packages, I use Androidsigner.

how would you edit the actual system apps? everytime i open them i just get a whole bunch of xml files. but unless im wrong, arent these just layout files that tell the app how to display?
Thank you, I am planning to release my own rom sometime next week

Hi,
Since ICS is out I have been using mainly CM9. But at the moment I am trying catalyst miui from kong. And I find out that theming is not fully compatible in miui v4 yet.
So I was wondering if it is possible at the moment to change the icons from the status bar? And how?
Thanks!

One way to do it is to decompile MiuiSystemUI.apk (found in /system/app/)
First, get the two framework apk's from /system/framework/
You need framework-res.apk and framework-miui-res.apk
Then in apktool install resources from these apk's
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if framework-miui-res.apk
Then you can decompile MiuiSystemUI.apk
Those png's are in /res/drawable-hdpi/

OK so extracting framework-res from an .mtz file with with archive manager, making the modification, compressing it back in .zip and then deleting the .zip is not the right way then?

I'm trying to mod an existing custom rom for my own use. Im just changing some pngs.
I unzip it, use formatter to change framework res apk to rar, unpack it. Change my pngs, repack it, use formatter to change back to apk. (Do I need to sign it?) Zip up the folder with 7zip, set compression as store.( is this correct) . But when I go to install it in cwm it wont install. I'm clearly missing a step. Someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong. Thanks

decompile system UI
what does decompile mean and how can i do it
thanks in advanced and sorry if its a noob question
it means opening it up to view and edit the files inside, such as layouts and png images etc.
you can use apktool for things like this, some changes can be made with 7zip or notepad++ but i think you need apktool to recompile it, otherwise it will fail when installing.
You can use 7z to change what ever you want that is visible in the archive. but if it includes the values folder which is enbedded in resources.asrc then you will need to decompile > change > recompile

Its a pc based software, some versions will or will not decompile/recompile properly on Ics/JB so you need to download one which is complete, some use two versions but there is a version apktools ics which works ok on jellybean, however depending on what you decompile some errors may need manual fixing.
