Hi all !! This is a guide on how to mod your Settings.apk to make it like an ICS's one !!
My sincere credits to iiandskater. He is the one who FIRST made MODS like this. I learnt these by comparing his MOD !!
He hasn't come up with a guide because he doesn't have time . (I think so!)
If you have completed modding and posting it ( on any website/forum), then please give credits and give a link to this thread !! This helps it reaching more people !! Thanks.
Pre-requisites:
-7zip
-Notepad++
This guide helps you to mod your settings' main screen only. If you want mod even other screens, then you need to read - why this/that step is done.
If you want to know 'Why is this/that step done?' , then read the post completely !!
I'll start from the basics.
Starting with basics:
1. Decompile your Settings.apk with 'apktool' (or) Apk Multi-tool (or) anything like that of your comfort !
Why is this/that step done?: It is done in order to decode .xml files the apk.
I decompiled with apktool.
2. Now navigate to Decompiled_Folder\res\values
3. There, open 'strings.xml' with notepad++
4. Go to the very end of the file, there above </resources>, add the following:
Code:
<string name="location_settings_title">Location service</string>
<string name="settings_ics_system">SYSTEM</string>
<string name="settings_ics_radio">WIRELESS & NETWORKS</string>
<string name="settings_radio_more">More...</string>
<string name="settings_ics_device">DEVICE</string>
<string name="settings_ics_personal">PERSONAL</string>
<string name="settings_ics_system_cap">SYSTEM</string>
<string name="power_usage_summary_text">Battery</string>
It should look like this:
Now save the file and close it.
Why is this/that step done?: This is for the 'text' that appear at different places. For example:
5. Now navigate to decompiled_folder\res\xml\
6. There open 'settings.xml' with notepad++
Any phone's user can follow upto this blindly, but from here you should do similar things for your phone.
HTC users, read this
7. Your 'settings.xml' will look like this (may not be exact)(this is my modded settings.xml - i'll explain what i have modded):
Now i have separated different 'things'/tags with an empty line between them, so that you won't get confused:
Here, i will explain every different 'things'/tags with only one example, other things, you yourself will have try because others will be similar to what i explain.
Preference screen:
From the above picture, i am taking only the circled (can't 'define' its radius lol ).
Now lets zoom it:
On reading it, you yourself can understand that:
---android:title="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_tittle" refers to a TEXT registered under the string name "wifi_quick_toggle_tittle" in the 'strings.xml'.
Now check in your 'strings.xml', which is located at res/values/, by searching for "wifi_quick_toggle_tittle". There you will find this line/line similar to this:
Code:
<string name="wifi_quick_toggle_title">Wi-Fi</string>
You can very well understand that the TEXT between the tags here(in strings.xml) will appear on the screen !!
---settings:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_wireless"> refers to the icon located at res/drawable-ldpi (or) res/drawable-xxxx(that of your phone).
You can leave other things as it is but except for android:targetClass="com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings". This is because according to this only, you are directed to another screen on selecting it !!
Here, i need to go to Wi-Fi settings on selecting it directly from the main screen. So i need to change it.
To change, i opened res/xml/wireless_settings.xml
There, like what we have seen earlier, many preference screens will be defined. There i found the preference screen of Wi-Fi settings
I copied the android:targetClass="xxxxxxxxxxxx"(something given there) to Settings.xml file.
If you want to do it for Bluetooth, then copy any of the preference screen completely [from <com.android.settings...... to </com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>
Then make changes in the title , icon, and target classs.
Not yet over, last thing:
Adding custom categories like Device, Personal, System etc.
It is this line that makes it:
Place it anywhere above (or) in-between any two preference screens !!
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/settings_ics_radio" />
About icons, I'll tell after re-compiling.
8. Re-Compiling it:
After making all necessary changes and saving the 'xml' files, re-compile (or) build the apk. You should not get any error.
9. After building it, you'll find the new 'Settings.apk' in decompiled_folder/dist. Do NOT use it.
Now Go the folder where you have ORIGINAL/STOCK Settings.apk. Now simply extract it to any folder, say "settings-new", using 7zip.
8. Now go to decompiled_folder/build/apk
From there copy the 'resources.arsc' file and paste it in "Settings-new" folder. Replace it.
9. Now again, go to decompiled_folder/build/apk/res/xml. There copy 'settings.xml'
Paste it in Settings-new/res/xml folder. Replace if asked.
10. ICONS:
After downloading the icons.zip, you'll find the icons in 'drawable-ldpi' folder. Copy everything and paste it in Settings-new/res/drawable-xxxx (that of your phone). [If you do not know what is that 'xxxx' for your phone, then paste it in every 'drawable-ldpi/mdpi' folder]
Replace if asked.
11. Now come back and open "Settings-new" folder. You'll find 6 objects there, including folders. Now select them all --> "7zip" --> "Add to archive...". There, select 'Archive format as 'zip'and 'compression level' as 'Store' and then select 'ok'.
12.Now rename the newly formed 'xxxx.zip' file to 'xxxx.apk'.
Before copying to system/app rename it to Settings.apk instead some xxxx.apk !!
Now your apk is ready to be put in system/app !!
If you have completed everything and would like to distribute it, then download the 'Pre-scripted-update.zip' from attachments.
Open the archive with 7zip (no need to extract) go to system/app. Just drag and drop your modded 'Settings.apk'.
Thats all !! Close it and flash it via recovery !!
Thats all....i believe........still can refine it.......!
Icons-uploaded........!!
If you have completed modding and posting it ( on any website/forum), then please give credits and give a link to this thread !! This helps it reaching more people !! Thanks.
If you like this thread, the hit THANKS !!
thanks for this guide i'm searching from 5 days to but i can't find.
You're welcome !!

Thank you :d

First, Try re-compiling it without any changes.............
Even when doing that, if you get that error, then you won't be able to compile it even after modding.....
so follow this:
Download my ICS Settings for FROYO (without unlock settings) from my signature.
Try decompiling and recompiling it (install both frameworks fr0m attachments). You should not get any error......
Now go to the folder where you've decomiled your settings.apk. There, after making necessary changes in the xml files(strings.xml & settings.xml) and saving them:
1. copy ALL files under res/values of YOUR decompiled settings folder and replace them in that of mine.
2. Similarly, now copy & replace settings.xml from your folder in mine.
Now compile MY settings folder.
You should not get any error.
After compilation, copy resources.arsc from build/apk of MY folder.
2. Extract (not decompile) YOUR stock settings.apk. Paste & replace resources.arsc there.
Like wise replace settings.xml from build/apk/res/xml of my folder.
Also place/replace icons like that.
Now make a zip of all the contents (in the folder where you EXTRACTED) as said in first post.
Now your apk is ready.....try n reply !!!
Brilliant.

one thing that u can try is, download all apktool files again (.jar file, aapt and the script) and place it in a new location in the root of your windows drive (mostly C:\)......and also try deleting the folder apktool under C:\users\*username*\

I promised id make this so here it goes
Download Wanams Apk Manager
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23935070&postcount=14
and Win rar
A few notes..
when doing smali edits .. dont do them at the same time as xmls or pngs
Whe doing jar files and classes.dex i use
AutoAPKTool2.0.4
(or just smali baksmali in command
if enough people want this i will include it )
Lets Use a Deodexed ICS SystemUi.apk
Code:
[center]
-Place systemui.apk in place-apk-here-for-modding
-then run script.bat in apk manager root folder
-now select your project .. (option 22)
and then option 1 for systemui.apk
and hit enter
now press option 9 (decompile)
it should run a few lines then complete...
Now go into the folder titled projects and find your systemui folder
lets just use one file for example we will call it default_wallpaper.png
you would place this in res/drawable hdpi/default_wallpaper.png
replacing what is already there
now go back to the script and this time select option 11 (compile)
as long as you didnt mess up any .9pngs or include any extra unidentified pictures it will compile without errors ( if you encounter errors its something you did check the logs.txt)
so now the program will ask you is this a system file
say yes
next it will ask you if you want to make a copy of everything in a keep folder
to ensure everything works right.... now there are three options
If you edited pictures say yes
if you edited xml files say yes
if you edited smali files say no and skip to finalizing with win rar down below
so youve said yes bc you only made picture edits
sp now go into apkmanager folder called keep
and navigate back to res/drawable hdpi/default_wallpaper.png and delete it
and also:::::: only if you decided to edit any xml files.....
make sure you delete resources.src at this point
now go back to your script ... since it should say hit enter to continue..
hit enter
[/center]
FINALIZING THE FILE WITH WINRAR
Code:
Now navigate back to place apk here for modding
and find unsignedsystemui.apk
double click it and open it with winrar
extract the contents
now navigate to the newly extracted unsignedsystemui folder
highlight everything and right click
say add to archive
rename it SystemUI.apk
set it as a zip (but rename zip extension to apk)
and set it to store
hit ok and Voila You have a newly edited and resigned Apk file
[/center]
If You want to change Bat%Icon in status bar! This is how you can do it! Follow the guide step by step and you will be done within minutes!

For only .pngs!

Changing/Replacing the .png file inside .apk
Amending normal .png no need to de-compile, just extract the file and modified using any photoshop tools or simply replace the .png
Just right click any .apk file and select 7-zip extract to, as seen below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now go to the extracted folder and amend / replace any .png file you like to replace. (Remember .9.png file cannot just simply replace, check following post for instruction.)

This is how to work with .9pngs!
Andrewtst said:
Modifying tricky .9.png file.
The .9.png cannot just simply amend using any photoshop and put back, because by doing so, either the amend .9.png won't appear or just simply give you FC in your phone when running it.
What to do:
De-compile the .apk.
Below showing the different between before and after de-compile of .9.png, as you can seen on right image,they is extra 4 black dot + 1 black bar and surrouding with transparent bar, all this area must be keep and not amend during photoshop. The de-compile image will auto increase 1 x pixel + 1 y Pixel.
Just amend without touching those area, save it and then put back to correct folder and compile back.

Click to collapse
And This is how u can do XML!
Andrewtst said:
Modifying .xml file
After you have de-compile the .apk, now all inside .xml is readable where you can make some changes on the color selection, clock position and etc. by just simply open with notepad and modified.
Before de-compile, the .xml look like below which is not readable and understand by human.
After de-compile, now the .xml is readable and understand by human.
Now you can amend what ever you like, Google/Search XDA forum for which .XML to amend.
Use this color code checker site for getting your desire color code.
After done, don't forget, you must compile back the .xml before it is understandable by Android OS.
Screenshot below showing modifying the sub text .xml to ICS blue color.
Change all
Code:
from android:color="#ffffffff to [B]android:color="#ff3f9bbf[/B]
at zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i will share anything ive learned
Also have a great setup here. With special tools for frame rrs and systemui
And this for editing colors.xml which makes life so much easier
Color edit tool can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348613
Its for editing colors.xml in decompiled framework-res
Dont have to enter hex. Just click and select color
And an fyi. U also need twframework-res installed to decompile Mms.apk properly.
And if u want to edit .9pngs u need photoshop or paint.net.
Zoom in 800 percent so u can see the 1 pixel border.
Do not touch the border pixels. Use rectangle select.
And cut whats inside the border.
Open new. Paste and do ur changes
Then merge the edited cut layer back inside the border.
Or look up how to use draw9patch. In the sdk tools. But its not nearly as simple.
You will also need notepad ++ to edit xml's and updater scripts. A simple text editor/notepad will corrupt them
Thanks a lot guys!
If you can't beat em, join em
Silver and Sean, thank you both :thumbup:

Those would be errors from .9pngs what were not edited properly on the decompile. And either same on recompile. Or xml errors.

I have all the updated stuff and tried wanam's . Like I said I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the sdk and apktool files.
I've tried apktool b SystemUI.API, apktool -f........., but it won't matter if I can't decompile correctly right?
All of this is from the ROM I'm using(appdroids) and I've also tried to do a stock from with the same results.
I've put everything in my C:\ directory like every tutorial I've watched or read said to do. That's why I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I also have Ubuntu dual booted on my computer and still can't get it to work.
I really wanna figure this stuff out because I would love to start a ROM of my own.

The funny \ in the dir name is from not putting the new aapt into autoapktool dir.... I was getting that on recompile

pretty sure you don't want to sign system apks. If you're useing the Autoapktool sean posted here, then after you choose option 11 to compile, it will ask you if it is a system app. you say yes. It will ask if you about using other files you did not edit, you say yes. It will generate a folder called "keep." Go to the keep folder and delete every file you edited and leave everything else. If you made any xml edits, then delete resources.arsc too. Then go back to the prompt and hit enter. It will create an unsigned apk.
Now, I dunno if this is necessary if you made sure to set compression level to zero but sean recommended this and it's worked for me. You right click on the new unsigned apk, and extract it with 7zip. Go into the extracted directory. Highlight everything and right-click > Add to Archives. In the winrar window that comes up select zip, change compression method to "Store", remove the "unsigned" part of the file name and change the end of it from zip to apk. Done.
roughneckboren - I was having a similar issue when I was trying to decompile Systemui.apk's from the UCALC4 roms as well. I have no clue if this will help you, but what worked for me was saving the apktool.jar from the folder downloaded from Wanam to another name (I used apktool.jar.bak) and then copied the apktool.jar from apktool 1.4.2 and dropped it into the folder. At that point I was able to decompile the SystemUI.apk and modify it however I wanted. When finished, and before compiling, I just renamed the apktool.jar from 1.4.2 and named the original from Wanam back.
This only happened to me on UCALC4 roms and I haven't had a single issue with the UCLD2 roms that I have edited. Again, I have no clue if this is going to help you but it is what worked for me so I figured there is no harm in at least mentioning it...
Hope you get it figured out, or have already. Good luck! Also, thanks to Sean, Silver and the rest of everyone else here on the forums for getting this information out to everyone!

STEPS :
1. Extract the "framework-res.apk" from ROM
2. Decompile it using apktool
3. Browse To "\res\values" and open dimens.xml
4. Find These Lines
Code:
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_clock_font_size">80.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_font_size">14.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_font_right_margin">42.0dip</dimen><dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_clockfont_top_margin">22.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_clockfont_bottom_margin">12.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_pin_margin_left">40.0dip</dimen>
5. You basically need to edit
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_font_right_margin">52.0dip</dimen> - Necessary ( Sets Margin from Right which basically alligns to center )
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_clock_font_size">85.0dip</dimen> - Not Necessary ( Sets the font size of clock time display)
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_clockfont_top_margin">22.0dip</dimen> - Not Necessary ( Sets Margin From Top )
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_clockfont_bottom_margin">12.0dip</dimen> - Not Necessary ( Sets Margin From Bottom )
6. Assuming that you have a WVGA device. Without a thought do this
Code:
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_font_right_margin">[B]52.0dip[/B]</dimen>
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_clock_font_size">[B]85.0dip[/B]</dimen>
What I did is changed the font size to 85 dip and right margin to 52 dip. You can see the result in screenshot above
7. If you have a device with different resolution. You need to do some experiment on your own by changing margin to allign it in center.
I will suggest to keep the right allign to 54-56 dip and font size 82 dip for devices with higher resolution above 480*800
8. Thats All.. If you want too change layout to bottom or extreme top..Change te dip values for top and bottom margin

Try to decompile and compile without changing anything. If the error appears again, you're using a false apktool version.
Or have you installed the framework with 'if framework-res.apk'?
Hi, is there any way to center the lockscreen ring itself when at a lower DPI? I still haven't found any solution to this...

Don't use the Windows folder. Try C:\APK\ instead. The last thing you want to do is mess up Windows because you're dumping 100s of files into system folders.
If you're not using a folder under \Users\*USERNAME*\, you'll probably need to run apktool as an admin.
Can I add this to my guide on theming the lock screen?
I haven't "values" folder in [email protected]/

So, i tried decompiling and then compiling without changing anything, the error is still there.
The funny thing is that i downloaded the apktool from their official site on google code.

Ok, i moved it to \users\magnumutz and it's still showing me the same error.
Was playing a lil' bit with your values and have to say for HOX best setting is:
Code:
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_font_right_m argin">66.0dip</dimen>
to center clock on [email protected] One X.
Maybe U add this value in OP for XDPI devices.
Thank U for your work!

Since its a framework mod it wouldn't be possible. That's why he posted a how to. He would have to make zips for every phone and rom available...That would be very time consuming. Hope that helps.

Thanks for showing me this!
I had to use this value for the Gnex on CM10:
Code:
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_status_line_font_right_margin">82.0dip</dimen>
To get it centered!
Ok then, did anyone manage to get this working on SGS I9000 on CM10?
I'd be grateful if someone would share it.

best vavles for xperia arc?
For some reason its not working for me!!. What I did was after editing the dimens.xml, then compiled the apk back and then using 7zip moved the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml to the edited apk and then copied(overwrite) it on the exiting apk in system/framework folder and reboot! It didn't work,.

All I did was decompile, edit the dimens, compile, signed it with generic key, placed in rom zip and flashed with the rom...No issues! Oh I did add a few images for the lockscreen weather in CM10. No need to move files and all that!

But I don't get one thing why do we need to sign? I mean its a system apk so why sign?? and other thing is even if i compile it normally the META-INF folder is still not there in the compiled apk itself!

Well I've heard many arguments on that but I've always signed system apps since gingerbread..the META-INF folder is the signature. I've seen others have issues when they don't sign system apps. I've never had those issues. If you're not seeing the META-INF folder after signing them it's your setup somewhere. Copying the META-INF folder to the apk is basically signing it manually. If it wasn't needed then there wouldn't be a folder there to copy. Try compiling it and then only copy the META-INF folder over..No need to move anything else to the apk.

Hey XDA community!
I received the Android 4.2.1 update for my Asus Transformer TF300T tablet and after using it for awhile i noticed when headphones are plugged into the device, and you increase the volume past (10 for my tablet) you will get a message saying that it is unsafe to use headphones at high volumes. Well I'm sorry. If people really need that message because they do not have the common sense to figure it out, well i have no comment.

}
So since this message is awfully annoying, i decided to go forth and remove it.
After hours of Google not helping, only finding other people on Nexus 7 devices and the like, seriously annoyed with it as i was. I knew i had to write this guide.
So here we go!
Firstly, there are two methods i discovered to remove this. First method, and prolly the easiest for people, is to:
1. Grab your framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/framework-res.apk using either adb or root explorer on your device
2. Using APKTool decompile framework-res.apk
3. Once decompiled directory.
4. Navigate to the file framework-res.apk/res/values/integers.xml YOU MUST USE NOTEPAD++ DO NOT USE MS NOTEPAD (Linux users need not worry)
5. Find the following "<integer name="config_safe_media_volume_index">10</integer>"
6. Change the "10" to a "20"
7. Save the changes to the xml file
8. Recompile the framework-res.apk with APKTool
9. Using adb or a flashable zip, put the framework-res.apk back to your device by:
adb remount
adb push <path to newly compiled apk> /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
10. Reboot device and test
The second method is a little more tricky as it deals with smali code. Some people have no idea what smali code is but for those who do, this is the mod i personally use.
1. Grab your framework.jar file from /system/framework/framework.jar directory
2. Using either apktool, or baksmali, decompile framework.jar
3. Once decompiled, find the file framework.jar/smali/android/media/AudioService$AudioHandler.smali
4. YOU MUST USE NOTEPAD++ AGAIN! (Linux users again need not worry )
5. Once opened, find the following.
Code:
:pswitch_data_0
.packed-switch 0x0
:pswitch_0
:pswitch_2
:pswitch_3
:pswitch_5
:pswitch_6
:pswitch_7
:pswitch_9

:pswitch_10
:pswitch_11
:pswitch_16
:pswitch_17
:pswitch_18
:pswitch_19
:pswitch_19
.end packed-switch
6. at the bottom, you will see
Code:
:pswitch_19
(hoping this is the same for all devices) and comment out
Code:
:pswitch_19
(i have two i dont know why, if you also have two, comment both out)
Should look like this:
Code:
:pswitch_data_0
.packed-switch 0x0
:pswitch_0
:pswitch_2
:pswitch_3
:pswitch_5
:pswitch_6
:pswitch_7
:pswitch_9
:pswitch_a
:pswitch_8

:pswitch_c
:pswitch_f
:pswitch_d
:pswitch_e
:pswitch_1
:pswitch_4
:pswitch_12
:pswitch_13
:pswitch_14
:pswitch_15
:pswitch_b
:pswitch_10
:pswitch_11
:pswitch_16
:pswitch_17
:pswitch_18
# :pswitch_19
# :pswitch_19
.end packed-switch
7. Once edited, save the file.
8. Using APKTool or smali, recompile framework.jar
9. Using adb or a flashable zip, push the file back to your device
adb remount
adb push <path to newly compiled framework.jar file> /system/framework/framework.jar
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework.
adb reboot recovery
10. Once in recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache.
11. Reboot and test
I have a zip attached for those who wish to use a zip.
Just OPEN the zip using 7zip, you will see two folders (META-INF, system) open system folder, open framework folder, and place your newly compiled file in there. Put the zip to your device, and flash in recovery.
ROM devs, feel free to use this! Just give credit Thanks
Guys dont hesitate to hit that thanks button! Can even donate to me as well Thanks everyone!
First method doesn't work
With the modified framework-res.apk per your instructions, the device hangs at the "X" animation. I push the original, everything works again.
This is how the process looks like:
>apktool d -f framework-res.apk tmp

I have this problem time to time. Its prolly a compressed resources.arsc file. Do this.
Take newly compiled apk.
Open with 7zip.
Copy the resources.arsc to desktop.
Open ORIGINAL (make a copy so you still have original) delete the resources.arsc file.
Go to your desktop.
Copy resources.arsc file to the ORIGINAL.
Then push to device. Should work.

Howdy - nice work on this
Any way you could share the smali code of what pswitch_19 points to? Might be handy for people trying to figure out what exactly it is that should be removed if things don't appear quite the same here so they comment out the appropriate switch. Thanks!

pswitch_19 points to the method that stops the volume from increasing as well as displaying that message. Its an $access1234523 number so its prolly different in each jar file. If people have issues i will be able to help them
They just need to post here

Gotcha - and no worries. Depending on what is used to decompile sometimes those access$### calls have a commented out bit right above them telling you what that static access function is doing/what is being called - but you are right people should just post if they need help. Thanks again for this

Follow my guide on the op. that's really all I did. Then I copied over the META-INF folder from the original jar file to retain signatures.

Hi Elesbb,
Thanks for this guide. Could you please tell me if flashing your .zip file would work on a stock unrooted ZTE grand x in?
If I have to root my phone first than that will be a little more work for me prior to even attempting your tutorials.
Thanks either way.

The zip in the OP has nothing in it. I posted it so after people follow my guide, they are able to download that zip, place their new file inside it, then flash.
But yes you have to be rooted. Or at least a custom recovery. Any Stock Recovery will reject the zip.

Youre supposed to make a backup before you do anything. And it is working for whatever phone that guy had. I'd have to see your framework.jar file.

What is CMX?
This is a batch script that runs on Windows to port CM11 themes to work with XTheme/HKTheme engine.
Unless porting png's solely, this is designed to take most of the leg work out of porting themes across, so expect some errors when working with the xml's. It is difficult to encompass all the different CM11 themes and quirks they bring with them without downloading and testing each and every theme available.
Ive tried to make the script as unobtrusive and self sufficient as possible with minimal user input in automatic mode.
If you include xml's, some manual labour may be necessary depending on the theme so expect to get your hands dirty. From the themes I've tested with xml's included, 50% have ported straight through and 50% have failed and required some extra attention.
When the script runs through the asset configuring phase (png's/xml's) it will open up a window for each package folder one at a time. One folder must finish processing before the other begins.
Requirements:
Java development kit (jdk) -Link. Installed and in your environment path -Link
CM11 theme to port Take your pick.
The ability to solve apktool log errors. I will help, but I will not spoonfeed!!.
Time Taken:
Setting up 10 minutes (inc. Java install)
Porting (depending on theme)
png's only- 2 minutes.
Difficulty- 2/10. Common error- 9 patch faults.
inc. xml's- 5 minutes.
Difficulty- Dependant on theme. Common error- xml faults.
Basically my script will work as follows when ran and "Automatic" is selected:
Set up required folders.
Automatically detect the apk in "CMThemeIn" folder and set it as the project or prompt the user to insert an apk.
Decompile set theme.
Create all the redirection.xml's required.
Cycle through the
Code:
assetsoverlays*InsertPackageNameHere*resdrawable
folders, and move them to the corresponding folder in the XTheme folder.
Gather xmls from res "drawable" and values" and insert appropriate redirections for that package name.
Ask the user to input a package name in AndroidManifest.xml.
Ask the user to input a theme, app, author and original themer name in strings.xml.
Compile, sign, zipalign and then place the output in "XThemeFinished" folder" ready for installing.
Currently the ports are best served with AOSP but there is an option to add redirections for TouchWiz and Semc (JellyBean 4.2 framework-res.apk).
The script offers you the option to include xml's or not.
Depending on the android version you are using certain xml's may not work or cause conflicts resulting in SOD's, force closes and bootloops.
To recover from a bootloop read the FAQ below.
Currently I wont be porting boot animations and fonts. Although I may add an option to port boot animations etc to a flashable zip.
Finally, the ported themes will NEVER look like the CM counterpart due to the Xposed limitation of themeing "styles.xml". This is not a restriction of the CMX tool, theme .apk or the theme engine

FAQ
Q). It says Java not found, how do I add the Java path?
A). Check "What is CMX?" for a guide.
Q). The script fails in auto, what's wrong?
A). Read the log.txt and assets,txt in tools and look for any errors, if you cannot understand them then post your log either as a .txt file or as a snippet wrapped in hide tags as shown above.
Q). Whats the difference between CM10 and CM11 themes?
A). All the drawable resources for CM11 themes now reside in "assetsoverlays" and not "resdrawables" as they previously did. Also they no longer use redirection xml's.
Due to this change, XTheme and HKTheme engines do not support CM11 themes...until now.
Q). Why doesn't the theme look like the CM11 counterpart?
A). This is due to styles.xml not being supported and xml restrictions if not included.
Q). I've got a bootloop, how can I fix it?
A). Go and follow the instructions here: http://tinyurl.com/nm4eups
Q). Why does it take longer when porting than it used to?
A). I have muted the opening of seperate windows. Each folder in the CM11Themeassets directory is processed one at a time to prevent errors. This must be done correctly or this will have detrimental effects to the xml's being created and
cause compiling errors.
Q). What are the duties of the folders?
A).
"tools": Contains all the resources needed to help porting.
"CMThemeIn": This is the folder you place your desired CM theme to be ported.
"CMThemeOut": When apktool decompiles the apk from "CMThemeIn", this is the source/reference for porting.
"XTheme": Contains the resources from "CMThemeOut" that have been configured and modified to be X/HKTheme compatible.
"XThemeFinished: This folder is used to store the newly created, X/HKTheme compatible apk.
Q). How do I remove "ON" and "OFF" from the switches?
A). See this post: Link.
Q). I get "invalid resource directory name" in the error log, how do I fix it?
A). Something has broken the script process and caused the creation of unnecessary folders. Goto "XThemeXThemeBase.apkres" and remove the folders detailed in the log.
Example: "XThemeXThemeBase.apkresdrawable-SomeRandomName" delete "SomeRandomName" folder

Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Beta Version: v3
Beta Release Date: 2014-09-15
Created 2014-08-29
Last Updated 2014-09-27
Using the script and porting.
Instuctions:
Download the zip.
Downloads can be found in the "Download" tab above.
Or if your browsing via mobile you can use this mirror: CMX beta v3
Unzip the "CMX" folder to a directory containing no spaces or rename the folder.
Any spaces within the containing folder will result in the jar files not being able to run.
BAD= C:/Users/My name/desktop/CMX beta T1000
GOOD= C:/Users/My_name/desktop/CMX_beta_T1000
I've also included Jarsigner.exe in the download. Move it to your "Java\bin" folder if you do not have it installed, otherwise you can delete it.
Start ".RunMe.bat".
Your now presented with 2 main options with regards to porting.
Automatic.
Manual.
I've covered automatic above in "What is CMX" so i'll explain manual.
Basically all the options in the manual menu (other than options 0 and 1) are what the automatic mode cycles through in the same order. This can be useful if you receive any errors and want to carry on from where automatic failed.
The options are self explanatory but I'll give basic details:
Choose apk. Can be used to override the automatic built in selection. Useful if you have a number of apks in the "CMThemeIn" folder, although it is recommended to just keep one apk to prevent possible bugs.
Decompile apk. Decompiles the chosen apk for assets extraction.
Create main redirections.xml. Creates the main redirection xml containing all the package redirections.THIS MUST RUN BEFORE 4+5.
Configure CM11 xml's. Configures and ports CM11 xml's to work with X/HKTheme.
Configure CM11 png's.Create package (app) redirections.xml's and copies all the images to the appropriate folders in XThemeBase.apk inc. theme icon and wallpaper.
Set package and strings.xml name. Asks the user to declare the new package name in AndroidManifest.xml. Ideally use the same as the theme but with an "X" prefixing. e.g "com.mac.theme.gem" becomes "Xcom.mac.theme.gem". Also asks the user to to set the new app, theme, porter and original author name.
Compile. Compiles XThemeBase.apk into the ported theme apk.
Sign and zipalign. Signs and zipaligns the newly compiled apk ready for installation. The key used is market compatible generated by me.
Return to main menu. Returns to the initial screen.
When porting a theme try to name it so it is easy to differentiate from the original.
Example.
Original package and app name:
com.mac.theme.gem
Gem Flat
Ported with png's only:
X.com.mac.theme.gem
X Gem Flat
Ported with xml's:
X.com.mac.theme.gem.inc
X Gem Flat inc
How to port the custom launcher icons?
To use the new custom icon porter option, you will find it under option 2 (Manual) and 9. Two pre-requisites must be met:
You must have decompiled the apk in CMThemeIn prior to choosing this option.
Set the AndroidManifest name or strings. If you have not, or closed the tool since porting the main theme, you can define them using option 2 (Manual) and 6.
If the theme you are porting doesnt support a certain density, you can use this jar tool to create them:
https://github.com/redwarp/9-Patch-Resizer/releases
ONLY CREATE DENSITIES LOWER THAN THE INPUT!.
Porting themes? Then read this:
If you are going to port a theme and share it, you MUST obtain permission from it's creator/author.
Not only is this good community manners it is XDA forum rules.:highfive:
XDA Rules
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.

Feature status and changelog
Feature status:
Auto porting of xml's- xml's need the correct redirection prefix adding to the resource direction inside the file. This can be done manually if required (NOT RECOMMENDED). Complete.
Redirections for OEM ROM's e.g. TouchWiz, Semc etc. Complete.
Porting of app themed icons- This is something i will add in to port to a separate apk. Complete.
Porting of boot animations, fonts, ringtones etc. Possibly to a flashable zip.
styles.xml- Broken inside Xposed.
Changelog:
29/08/14
First beta release.
31/08/14 beta v1.1
Lots of code cleaning and bug fixes inc. message suppressing.
The script now searches for installed framework-res.apk, if none is found it will install the provided apk automatically.
If you input a CMTheme.apk that isnt a true CM11 Theme (doesn't use assets\overlays) you will receive a warning in the console and the decompiled folder will be removed.
"tools" folder contains:
framework-res.apk from CM11 for Mako.
aapt from android sdk build tools 4.4#
My updated version of the XTheme sample.apk A.K.A XThemeBase.apk
15/09/14 beta v3
Added xml porting support.
Updated XThemeBase.apk to include drawable and xml folder.
Lot's of code cleaning and bug fixes.
Removed opening of multiple windows. This results in a longer but cleaner process.
Added Jarsigner.exe to download.
Some other stuff.
23/09/14 beta v4
Removed jarsigner.
Removed framework-res.apk to reduce zip size (added to CMX folder in post #4 if required).
Added framework-res.apk redirections (4.2 Jelly Bean) for Sony and Samsung (thanks @pierx) devices.
Added the ability to port custom icons and wallpaper.If supported by the ported theme to a standalone Apex/Nova theme.apk. Manual option 9.
Fixed bug where invalid resource directories where created in XTheme.
Cleaned and re-wrote some code inc. an extra log for xml and png porting. This can be found in tools\ called assets.txt
24/09/14 beta v4.1
Added custom AndroidManifest and strings.xml to icon.apk porter. Uses values defined for main theme port. Can be redefined by selecting option 2 (Manual) and 6.
Ported CM11 Themes
The themes are split into 2 categories:
Drawables port.
Full port.
The reason for being split is because devices on older android versions (<4.3) might bootloop if using a fully ported 4.4 theme with a conflicting xml.
To cancel any bootloops you can disable Xposed via the flashable zip provided in rovo's Xposed thread, or by using adb shell delete in recovery. See faq above.

You win a prize for premature jubilation.
It probably is possible. If the script was converted from batch to .sh to run on your device, you could package it into an apk... But I won't be doing it. Creating this took me long enough. Plus I don't have the skills.
Ideally there would be an update to X/HKTheme or a new module developed. In the mean time this is the next best option.

There is no knowledge required.
All you need is:
Java installed on your Windows system.
A CM11 theme of your choice placed in "CMThemeIn"
Run the script, select option 1 (Automatic) and follow the prompts (4 of).
Install the resulting signed file in "XThemeFinished".
It takes 2 minutes literally. Everything is automated to make it as noob friendly as possible.:good:
If you have Windows give it a try and you'll be surprised how easy it is.

same issue here even after removing the "-"
Rename the folder from "CMX- Betav1" to "CMX", the space will be throwing it out.
Everything works great.
Nicely done

everything goes well up until signing, zipaligning and recompilation.

As stated in the requirements, you should use Java 8 or later.
Hi
I tried to modify the APK of an app changing its title and icon.
Then I tried to install the modified and recompiled APK but Android installer asks to update the original app and does not install a new 'instance' of the app.
Maybe I'm totally wrong hoping this app (APK Editor Studio) allows to do what I described.
Please, can someone explain if I have some hope in doing what I need using this wonderful APK Editor? Do I have to change some file inside the APK?
Just for information I'm trying to edit the app named 'CoopVoce' (you can find it in the Play Store) in order to be able to have on my phone two different 'profiles' allowing me to manage my GSM-contract and my mother's one (this feature is not allowed in the original app).
Thanx for your support. C87

Hi,
Application instances have nothing to do with an app name or icon. There is a property called package name which represents a unique identifier of an application. In order to have multiple instances of an Android app, you will have to manually change it (e.g., check out this guide). Since you will need to work with the APK contents, you can still use APK Editor Studio and click File --> Explore Contents.
Also, the ability to easily change Android package name is planned in future releases.

It is not possible to reinstall / update modded apk over original unless you have the same key/keystore/password as the author. Author of app made his own, and you could use generic/test keystore (username and password: android) or your own.
Or if you use "Patch Android" in certain-piracy-app to "accept all keys as true" and "enable installing of older version", you could install modded app over original...but you risk to got unstable system.
Or better way - make cloned app (with on exp. App Cloner 2.4.1) of your modded app and install it as "new" app.
Great tool!.
I am no developer but the tools is easy enough to navigate around in Debian.
I would like to use this tool to remove trackers from APK.
The manifest is easy enough to remove them but after I compiling and installing them (with new app name) successfully, when I run Warden from FDroid (another great tool, used to check for trackers, loggers in apps), I am still able to detect the same number of trackers as before I modify in APK Editor Studio.
Can advise how to use this tool to remove those sneaky trackers before compiling them? Is it necessary to decompile the apk to dex files in order to remove them?

Most likely, yes.
You can turn on decompilation to Smali in Settings → Options → Repacking → Decompile source code.
Methods of removing such trackers and loggers may vary from application to application, so you might have better luck searching for the corresponding information at the thematic posts.

Hello. Tell me or give a link for instructions on moving (porting, installing) some system applications from android 10 to android 9. In the vastness of the Internet, I probably looked badly, did not find instructions. I want to install the Package Installer from android 10 to android 9.

First of all, app need to be deodex (single apk file, not base.apk + odex/vdex files).
Most of apps can work if you change Minimum SDK from 29 (Android 10) to 28 (9.0 - Pie) (look at the upper right column Manifest in APK Editor studio).
Now look for AndroidManifest.xml in Files System column and delete
<queries> ... </queries> lines, if any.
Then save apk.
