i think you have to first change the premission of that folder (/mnt/asec/com...(bla-bla-bla)../pkg.apk) to rw--r--r for time being then copy that file to wanted folder and then again set the permission to the first one as it was earlier of the same folder(/mnt/asec/com...(bla-bla-bla)../pkg.apk )
just give it a try. hope it works:good:

Moto added signatures to each apk in /system. After you re-compile the apk, you need to open both with an archive manager, and copy the META-INF folder from the old to the new.
hello friend,thank you for your reply.i understand for your answer,i also have tried this way.there are many ways of dealing with system-level APK file,i have tried most of it,every files are normal,including framework-res.apk.but the framework-res.apk didn't work well
more curious,using apktool to compile the blur-res.apk,but Decompilate it again will occur error.apktool says there is lacking some values.can you please tell me how to fix it??

I've been trying all ****ing day to get it to work and this is as far as I have gotten. The only reason I changed to it from apk manager was that apk manager wouldn't let me recompile a jellybean app. Any ideas? The main thing tripping me up I think is that I'm using the stupid adt bundle but I can't seem to find SDK without out so it's all wonky and I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. It's been 7 hours and a lot of problems.

Ok Sony doesn't have the 1% step in battery icons and charging icons.
I want to personally mod the SystemUI.apk to have that 1% percent icon steps.
So, I already put more than 200 icons in res/drawable-xhdpi named stat_sys_battery_xx and stat_sys_battery_charge_anim_xx both from 0 to 100.
Edited the stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge xml files.
I also edited the public.xml to declare the drawable icons there but I still have compiling error that the drawable path is not specified.
Any inputs guys?
Tapatalked from my TX
What exactly have you done?
Here's what i do using apkmanager:
Decompile systemui.apk
Add pngs
Edit stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
Delete public.xml, it will regenerate like Dr Who
Compile choosing system apk and answer yes and yes
Check log for errors
Install
:good:
Edit: BTW i bet if you delete public.xml and try again it works.
@dully79,
1.decompile
2.placed the icons in /drawable-xhdpi, edit stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge xml's
3.delete public.xml in /res/values folder
4.compile,
5.answer, yes, and on the "keep" folder i deleted resources.arsc, the stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge xml's (just curious why no values folder there
6.enter

Have you installed SystemUI?
You could use tickle my Android, the main man Timin8r told me about that.

For android-4.4 system apps to decompile u need Java 7 and apktools 2.0. Java 8 is not supported in android and afaik apktools lower than 2.0 don't work.

Thank you for your advice. I didn't know it. It works for me now.
I was little bit confused because I was able to decompile the framework from your CM11 without problems and framework from stock ROM don't.
