Got it working... FINALLY
OK first of all thanks for this, makes a huge difference on the notification pullup and dropdown speed.
I couldn't apply the path with just the regular apktool, tried different revisions and none worked until I found apktoolsjb on this forum

Thanks again

it is in that folder for sure. have followed the guide step by step? maybe u havent decompiled just extracted the apk.
On Note 2 (and probably other Samsung devices) there is no layout.xml, but values are inside smali file (SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\R$layout.smali). However those are in hex format which I cannot decode.
.field public static final self_collapse_velocity:I = 0x7f0c001c
.field public static final self_expand_velocity:I = 0x7f0c001b

Above value translates to 2131492892 as integer, which makes zero sense. Probably some kind of float value?

Try to check for that id (0x7f0c001c and/or 0x7f0c001b) in res/values/ids.xml. It could point to any value in any of the xml inside res/ folder.
No xml file contains those values (I ran search over whole folder). Only before mentioned R$layout.smali and com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali
Linux
Any way I con do this in Linux, ubuntu to be specific.
I figured it out, Ijust hope I can put back into .apk format.
Be careful:
"dp" was actually called "dip" in early versions of the SDK. They changed it to "dp" shortly after.

That screenshot isn't from a 4.1/4.2 rom - So anyone who wants to try this and has 4.2 (I'm having 4.2.2), change only the values. leave the "dp" as is, don't change it into "dip".
OP - you might as well write this down!
Great, some developer with Xposed skills to do that through an Xposed module .... (You know that would be great)
I used your MOD as an Add On for my ROM. I hope thats ok credit was given (see bottom of OP). Thanks for the Info..

Check your ROM if it is odex, check /system/app/ if there is SystemUI.odex. You need to deodexed if first so you can edit. However you can also di it using baksmali you just need the SystemUI.odex.

Hello,
This is a guide that will show you how to edit app icons, by decompiling the apk file using Apktool X (current version is: 7.2.2a- Black).
But why would You want to edit a app icon using this method?
Well, at the time of speaking Android N doesn't have support for Xposed so you can't use Flipster for example... Or if you don't have root, by following this guide you can edit app icons system- wide.
Firstly download Apktool X by Andro Black.
After that you want to install it, and find a apk file you want to modify.
After you found the apk, press it once and chose: Decompile res
After that is done (depending on your phone and the apk size it might take several minutes), Use a file manager and open the "Base_src" > "res".
Then find " minimap-*****-** (the "*" could be for example xxhdpi-v4).
Then open one of those minimap folders ( I recommended the first or last one so you could keep track of it where you replaced the icons).
Copy your preferred .png icon and paste it in one of the folders. In the minimap folder you should find the .png icon... Usually it has a name ic_launcher.png.
Delete it, and rename your icon to the name of the stock icon.
Repeat the process in every minimap folder.
After you did that, go to Apktool X and find the Base_src file that you just edited.
Long press it and chose recompile.
Now wait... A few moments/minutes...
When it's done you will get a base_src.apk.
Press it and chosse "Sign".
After that install the base_src_sign.apk
After installation i recommended disabling updates for that app, because a future update will (most likely) overwrite your icon.
Special thanks to: @iBotPeaches for making the original Apktool, and Andro Black for updating the app.
Hope this help's Your OCD :laugh:
In case this guide doesn't help you, leave a question, and i will kindly answer as soon as i can.
In case this works for You, it would be great if You could leave a thumb's up

Apktool by Andro Black: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=profile&uid=24562946973631820
Tags: Edit app icons, no root, icon pack, system wide
Screenshots:
-Here is: Kernel Auditor with a modified icon:
Whatsapp with S8 icon plz
Editing app's totally
Open an app as zip file then res>midmap.
You can see three or four midmaps, there will be a png called ic_launcher.png or icon.png change it manually which icon you want and rename it as what the icon name is in midmap that's all it will be change completely.
Thank you for reading.:
