I'm running into an issue when modifying the systemui.apk to remove S Finder and Quick Connect from the notification area. I decompile, edit, recompile, and replace the file. When I reboot my wallpaper is gone and the notification won't pull down. I'm only changing one line. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm running a stock deodexed rom.
Thanks

Hello, So I flashed Calkulin's Disable USB Debugging Notification and it worked perfectly but then I flashed Smooth-Sense with White Sync Icon 1.0.2 which changes some of the taskbar icons and the USB Debugging Notification now comes on again, is there any way I could modify the framework-res.apk in Smooth-Sense with White Sync Icon 1.0.2 to get Calkulin's Disable USB Debugging Notification to still work? Calkulins mod has a services.jar instead of a framework-res.apk so I'm not sure what that means. If anyone could tell me where I could get help for this I would appreciate it...
Yes. Change the "apk" extension of both framework-res files to "zip" and open them up as you would any other zip file. Look in /res/drawable hdpi/ for the relevant images and replace the ones you don't want with the images you do want from the other theme.
Once finished, go back rezip the files, change the extension back to apk, and replace on phone. This can be done through a variety of methods depending on your knowledge level. adb push is one way or you could simply put them back in the update.zip and reflash
Ok I got it all figured out, Thank You!
Ok so with Honeycomb 3.2 I was able to decompile the framework-res, finsky.apk and make my xml changes and recompile it and flash it. But I had to sign the finsky to get it to flash. Here is my issue. When I make the XML changes to SystemUI.apk and recompile I cannot get it to flash. What happens is the systemUI dissapears from the ROM. I have to reflash the ROM to get it to come back. Now If I do not make the xml changes it flashes fine. I even tried to sign the systemUI.apk and it still did not fix it. I am using Prime 1.7. Has anyone come across this problem?
Hi. I'm making an ics mod to my phone. I've tried to change the progress bar like ics. I know that the files that i have to change are progress horizontal (drawable folder) to make it square changing to 0.0 dip and change the color, and the other file is styles.xml (values folder) to change the width of the bar changing the values of widget progress bar and seekbar to 5.0dip. When i change everything and recompile using apk multi tool i followed the steps, and when i get the recompiled apk I read in other post that i had to move the meta-inf folder, the manifest file, to the original framework and when i put it back to my phone nothing changes. So i moved the resources.asrc file too but i get a bootloop. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? Maybe is because i don't sign the framework? thanks in advance.
PD: I'm using Froyo

At the first time no. But I tried resingning the new framework but it's the same result (bootloop)
This is my first attempt to theme my pico...
I have decompiled the systemui.apk of jaggy rom
replaced some status bar icons with the ones i wanted
and then recompiled it....
(I used apktool for these operations and offcourse after installing the necessary framework)
no errors till now...
but when i replace the old systemui.apk with the new one ..... the task bar just dissappeared
tried booting into recovery and fix permissions still no luck...
then i signed the apk(didn't sign earlier as i read signing was not necessary for system apk) and tried again still no luck....
but when the old apk was restored and the phone reboote and permissions fixed the status bar was restored (i mean the old state)
all i did was replace some status bar icons but when rebuilt the apk was about 300kb smaller
did this just to get the hang of themeing.....
i have attached the original and modified systemui.apk
can anyone enlighten me what went wrong...
is it the way i replaced the icons or the way i compiled and recompiled the apks....
....thank you in advance
Tried pushing using adb....
no luck
Thanx people I managed to do it without decompiling
Opened the apk using 7 zip and then replacing the necessary files.....
And it worked...
I guess this method is easier as it doesn't require much knowledge ..
I have succesfully modded my systemui.apk removing the Sfinder and quick connect, but when I try to modify framework-res.apk and I throw it back on the phone I get bootloops. I don't know how to actually put it on the phone. Root explorer is not working. I don't know if I compiled it correctly or not, etc...
Is editing the framework-res that difficult or am I a just stupid?
Thanks
