[Q] Need help with Apk Manager apk mod

Made a very simple mod to my systemUI.apk using APK Manager. However, after moving to phone and reboot, there were no icons in top notification area and no pull-down notification window was completely missing! So obviously something went south. I did have a copy of my last ‘good’ systemUI.apk, so I’m recovered… but would like to get my simple mod (phone signal strength bars) to successfully implement. Here are the steps I followed (which didn’t work):
1. in Apk Manager folder, put my “systemUI.apk” in “place-apk-here-for-modding’ folder
2. launched “Script.bat” file
3. cmd window opened with Apk Manager menu
4. using Apk Manager tool:
a. extract apk (successful) ‘decision 1’ in tool
b. decompile apk (successful) ‘decision 9’ in tool
c. made my edits (changed 2 png files)
d. compile apk (successful) ‘decision 11’ in tool
e. I read that system files do not need to be signed… so did not sign it
5. This put file “unsigned_systemUI.apk” in “place-apk-here-for-modding” folder
6. I renamed “unsigned_systemUI.apk” to “systemUI.apk”
7. connected phone to computer and transferred “systemUI.apk” to external SD
8. moved “systemUI.apk” to /system and fixed permissions (rw,r,r)
9. then moved from /system to /system/app and replaced the current systemUI.apk
10. rebooted to recovery and wiped cache/ Dalvik cache
11. rebooted normally
So, phone booted up fine… no FCs… no boot loops… but there were no icons in notification area (time, date, no icons) or a drop down window. So question is: what steps did I leave out or do wrong? Did I need to sign apk? To recover, I simply put my good systemUI.apk in/ system/app folder… fixed permissions… then rebooted… and it’s fine… so not sure why the modded file did not work. Thanks.

SOLVED.... used NinjaMorph and did mod on phone. By the way, never used this app before, but it is kickazz... very intuitive and easy to use.

Fyi though for PNG edits don't bother decompiling just extract change the pngs not the names and zip her back up

[Q] How to remove the Verizon Wireless on the stock lockscreen

Anyone successfully remove the Verizon Wireless from the lock screen yet. I have made many attempts via framework–res to no avail. I have made changes to the eri.xml as well as adding/changing the spn-conf. Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks

I am assuming the info comes from the SIM card because when its not inserted the phrase, "No SIM card, Emergency Calls Only" is displayed in the same place Verizon Wireless normally is. There has to be a handoff between the SIM Card and code via an XML file someplace but I have yet to find it. If anyone has any info please let me know.

I'd be willing to bet 5 bucks there is an xml edit in framework-res.apk or systemui.apk that would get rid of it , If I come across it i'll let you know for sure.

Ive checked strings in both and neither had any reference. I will check again because i am pretty sure it has to be in framework-res.

Ya I see a lot of lock screen entries in framework-res strings.xml but nothing with plain verizon wireless, i see all the other possible things that could popup and it does look like its linked to the sim from there. I also see a reference to carrierLabel in systemui public.xml with an id of 0x7f0f00ae no idea where its linked to though as of yet will keep digging.
EDIT: Question for you guys are you running ICS touchwiz roms or aosp or what? I ask because I'm on a AOSP jelly bean rom and it might be different then what you guys have
I'm thinking this is going to require editing some smali files most likely, do me a favor and see if you have this file in your systemui.apk:
SystemUI\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\CarrierLabel.smali

Thanks.
The two entries I am looking for are:
Verizon Wireless
No Sim Card..Emergency calls Only
Those two phrases pop up in the same place on the lock screen when booting and/or once booted up.
Some other phones like the Nexus have thier carrier lable linked to an eri.xml and/or an spn-conf.xml located in /system/etc and or in /data right on the phone. No need to even decompile an APK, but the GS3 seems to be a little different as none of those tricks worked.
There is an eri.xml located in framework-res/res/xml/eri.xml. But nothing there referencing verizon or a sim card. Looks like a generic xml.

I am running a stock deodexed TW ICS Rom.
Yes I have that xml in SystemUI but that smali should reference a string I would have thought? I thought the smali was to execute and not dictate what the actual phrase. I am far from an experienced coder though so what do I know.
Its late, I will look over this smali tomorrow when I have a little more time.
If we could get a few people digging for this we could probably find it in less than a week...
Thanks for the help!

Not sure if this will do it or not but seems like its definitely worth a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773879
As that xml is there in that location and the id is also there, I'll try it out on my rom when I get the chance as well and let you know.

Well after some more searching I came across a post to remove the carrier name on jelly bean for the nexus and it actually worked for me, I don't know if this will work on touchwiz ICS or not but you may want to do a nandroid and try it. I used the second set of steps putting the eri.xml in /data and left the values blank and no more carrier label

I have tried those too...LOL. They seem to be for either ASOP only or JB. Just for giggles I tried them again to be sure and still no go.
Glad it worked for you though!

Derp I goofed I didnt give you the link in the second edit for what actually worked for me anyhow I'll give you what you need for your ics version.
Do a nandroid backup before making any changes just in case
1) Download eri.xml onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.
2) Open "eri.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit everywhere you see "Whatever you want or delete this and nothing will show up". You can simply change the text or delete the text between the quotations and nothing will show up.
3) Save "eri.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "eri.xml" from your SD card to "/data" directory.
5) Reboot, and Enjoy!

Lmao dang was worth a try, this is harder for me now since i'm on cm10 aosp and I don't have a ics tw rom to look further into.
Alright one more try on one other thing that may work as well, definitely do a nandroid before you try this one as well.
1) Download spn-conf.xml file i have attached onto your desktop or some folder you will remember where it has been placed.
2) Open "spn-conf.xml" with something such as NotePad or WordPad and edit where you see Verizon Wireless.
3) Save "spn-conf.xml" and copy it to the root of your SD Card.
4) Open Root Explorer or an app similar, copy "spn-conf.xml" from your SD card to "System/etc" directory.
5) Reboot, and Enjoy!

Stock Deodexed Rom with a dozen or so self installed MODs. All I did was root, custom recovery, and start loading up a few favorite mods like:
Time toggle on/off
AM/PM toggle on/off
center clock
small am/pm
expanded setting for MMS
battery full removed
keyboard icon removed
...and a few others.
Otherwise, stock ROM rooted and deodexed.

Well you may want to consider going with a custom rom, things like this are so much easier on a custom rom because dev's enable these type of goodies . I don't know why anybody isn't on cm10 builds personally ive been running paranoid android for several weeks as my daily driver with no issues at all. But if you like the TW UI I can understand.

well I have painfully gone through each and every XML in framework and none hold the key to removing the carrier name from the lockscreen. I know this because I have swapped each XML from a sprint rom (which does not have the carrier name on the lockscreen) with mine and the Verizon Wireless remained in place. I will go through some of the APKs in /system/app next and see what I can find. I was sure it would have been in framework though.

Holofied TWRP Themes qHD 960x540

Hey guys, @Modding.MyMind over ported Holofied TWRP Themes to qHD resolution. I'm creating this thread just to have it here, as more people will be inclined to look at it because it's on XDA. He did all the work, not me, I'm just making this post. Downloads are at my AFH folder here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=19000
It has themes for TWRP 2.7.1.x and TWRP 2.8.0.x as well as Aroma FM.
Enjoy!

Guess that depends on the user doesn't it lol. The average user just uses the recovery for backups. Those who have surpassed that with experience and skills do a lot more with it .

And is nice to be different thats can be my reason to theme the recovery.

Yes, I already downloaded it from the other forum and it's working great. Now I'll have to find that Aroma File Manager, I've noticed that when enabled, it tries to flash a zip that's not in. But that has nothing to do with the theme itself, should be something new in TWRP 2.8.0

OK, I've traced the error. As you can see, the file location IS CORRECT BUT...in TWRP if you go with the normal File Manager (not the arom one), you will notice that the "sdcard" folder does NOT EXISTS in the root. It is called "internal_sd" instead. So the flashable zip you've provided flashes the file in the correct location (probably during flash the generic name "sdcard" is recognized). but while launching the FM from the theme it tries to reach "sdcard/TWRP/aromafm/aromafm.zip" and the correct path should be in the script "internal_sd/TWRP/aromafm/aromafm.zip"
I don't know if this is only for Ville or is valid for other devices too, I'll try to change the script to point to the new path....If I can find it

Ah, yea that would be the original theme dev who wrote it like that. Good catch . Works fine on my device though, so a more universal method would definitely need to be acquired lol.

@Rapier, can you post your recovery log on here with the "hide" tags. I need to look at it. Specifically towards the end of it.

Ok so I've tested with the modified ui.xml and it works, Aroma FM starts OK. I'll attach the changed ui.zip, it is for the Holofied Play version. You can test it's working
Don't know how it works for other devices that doesn't have "internal_sd" folder but have "sdcard" instead...maybe some have both

@Rapier, when you installed aromafm, did it place it on your external or internal after flashing the zip?
When I install it, it is placed on my external. The /sdcard path used inside the ui.xml defaults to my external storage which therefore properly finds the aroma file manager. Which is why I ask?
Edit:
Just looked at the device tree used to build yalls TWRP. Seems you guys only have an internal with no external sdcard.... So this would be the problem lol.
I'm gonna mention @z31s1g and leave it up to him to decide if he wishes to find and use a more universal method for any future releases.

The HTC One S does not have an "external" sdcard. There's only a internal memory of 10 GB that's mapped as "sdcard" and maybe that's why it's referred to as "internal_sd". So this could be the issue.
So the changed ui.xml will probably work only for devices without external sdcard. If there's a way to find this in recovery, there could be 2 different subroutines in the script...one for devices with external sdcard and one for devices without it. That it'll be universal.
Also a small suggestion if I may...it is applicable on all devices. When selecting the "Aroma FM" in settings, there's no need to have a confirmation screen with a slider to flash/launch the actual File Manager. Pressing on the File Manager should directly start it and after exiting it should return to main Recovery screen. I mean, I see no point in confirming the launch of FM. I've attached a second ui.zip file, again only for the Holofied Play, that takes out this slider as well....so if you press File Manager in main page AND you have selected in settings to have the Aroma FM, the File Manager will flash & start right away. After exiting it'll return to main Recovery page.
And thank you again for this port, these themes are the best I saw for TWRP ever. If you need any logs or tests to be made, please let me know

I will continue to port the themes based on their original release. If you guys wish to make further modifications in support of yalls device specifically feel free too. Currently porting these themes again to fix the parsing errors they are displaying.

[MOD][GUIDE] Lock/Unlock sounds (root only)

So I was thinking how much I missed being able to change the sounds of my device (lock/unlock, touch etc... And remembered we can change them if we are rooted. Sadly I am not. Only because for me the loss of 20 percent of battery life is a big deal in my day to day activities. But for those of you who went for root heres a little something extra I've been doing since the S4 days. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU COPY AND SAVE THE EXISTING .OGG FILES YOU PLAN TO REPLACE SO THAT LATER IF YOU WISH YOU CAN GO BACK TO STOCK.. With that being said. THESE ARE NOT MY FILES AND TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THE WORK YOU WILL FIND ON THE THREAD LINK BELOW. A fella here that goes by the name of dav3wash put this thread together to bring us a collection of cool Lock/Unlock sounds which I believe will still work here. So if you find yourself over on his page hit that like button to show your appreciation .NOTE: I HAVE NOT TESTED for I am not rooted. I just download the desired file.
From your downloads folder navigate in the zip file and copy the .ogg file
Then go into your device and follow this path.
The path is as followed in your rooted system. From any file explorer go to: System(Root)/System/media/audio/ui.
And paste the new files after removing the old one to a safe location.
Then reboot and your good.
