Does anyone know which files to edit or can help me change the color of the time in the taskbar? i'm wanting it to be a grey color.
I know its in the classes.dex in services.jar. I just don't know what lines to change. I'm very interested to know

Do you have Hex Printer2?
You that to turn the xml into readable format then in the classes.dex it will say something along the lines of time and date:FFFFFFF
or just time.. you will know when you see it.

Hey I've got a guide on my bookmarks at home for it. I found it by going onto main page of this site and doing a search for classes.dex editing or something along those lines. The guide tells u step by step how to do it.
You need to deodex the services.jar with baksmali so you have access to the .smali files inside the classes.dex. Inside the .dex you'll find folders...you need to access to com/android/server/status. Inside this folder is StatusBarIcon.smali. You'll need to open it with a text editor. Inside you'll look for this line...
.line 47
invoke-virtual {v4, v7}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextColor(I)V (This line tells you what prologue to look for. The prologue is at the beginning.) For instance, im looking for
.prologue
const v7, -0x0 (The bold is going to be your ARGB Hex color.)
You'll need to know how to convert it to hex. See http://board.flashkit.com/board/archive/index.php/t-657269.html.
Once you're finished editing the .smali code you need to save it and redex the folders back into a new classes.dex by using smali. Once you create a new classes.dex you can drag it into your services.jar overwriting the old one.
Lmfao...surprisingly enough I actually understand every word of this and will be using it as well. Thanks vince

From someone that has done it one or two dozen times himself.... it all makes sense.
In more basic terms, you're decompiling the dex file into smali code to edit the file and then re-compiling it back.

Will post bookmark when I get home but won't be till tonight or goggle it.

Hello dear devs
I'm trying for 2 weeks now, without luck, to find a way to decompile, add resources and recompile Erikmm's MIUI v4 :
settings.apk
framework-miui-res.apk
as part of my HebMIUI project.
I downloaded an ICS aimed APKtool and used the original as well.
the original fails to even decompile, the other one fails to recompile, giving public.xml drawable symbol declared but not defined error:
For example for settings.apk I get this
I managed to recompile all the system and framework apps besides settings and framework-miui-res so it's really frustrating to not being able to finish this work.
If someone here has a working environment or some issue pointing I missed, I'd greatly appreciate it if you share it with me.
Thanks.
I fixed the 9.png error at the start of the pastebin, it's not related to this issue. Still getting all those declared but not defined errors.
I get them even if I decompile recompile without changing anything...
I'll try to decompile with dependencies. If that won't work I'll try to remove the declared objects from xml.
sent from me
WARNING: The pastebin link totally had a virus waiting. Sorry itskit2sh.
Not much help at the moment, but apktool is going to receive updates (supposedly)
https://www.xda-developers.com/android/apktool-to-receive-updates-once-again/
For settings try and use the apktool from developer.android. As for how you are recompiling miui uses framework-res and framework-miui-res as dependencies. Lastly the miui_logo thing might be because I added my Darth Vader one for when booting shutting down lol. Ill upload my update today to dropbox and have u try with the newest one
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
Thanks for your replies guys, unfortunately no luck yet.
I copied aapt ver 1.4.3 to both old apktool and ics apktool.
still I get "bad magic value" on old apktool decompilation
and like gazilion rows "declared but not defined" for public.xml objects on ics apktool compilation.
Also decompilation with dependencies did not quite work as it did not get my depended apk suggestions (framework-miui-res/framework-res/settings).
are there any alternatives to this method ? thanks.
Resolved (!) using these files of the newest WIP apktool files (ver. 1.4.9)
once again thanks for all your help guys !!!
Hey guys, running into some trouble on this one. I'm running the 4.2.2 illusion ROM on my GS3 and was attempting to decompile the mms app to make some changes.
I'm using apktool, I've loaded the framework-res.apk, but when attempting to recompile, I get a bunch of errors like this:
"Public entry identifier enter index is larger than available symbols. Public symbol declared here is not defined." etc...
I've tried just doing a straight decompile/recompile without making any changes and I still get this result. decompiling seems to complete ok from what I can tell.
Any suggestions? thanks!
also, if this thread doesn't belong here please forgive me and move it. I wasn't sure where to ask.
