How do you themers decompile SystemUI.apk?

I'm working on a theme and I'm trying to customize the notification area font colors, but I'm unable to decompile SystemUI.apk!
I get the following error:

This happens in both vanilla apktool and in APK Manager.

I'm in no way a themer, but my guess is you have to decompile with dependencies - most likely twframework.apk and framework-res.apk. I'm pretty sure this is an option in apk manager. That being said, I of course could be completely wrong on all of this.

I decompiled with framework-res and it worked, thanks a lot!
Now to go hunting for what I want to change

I know you got it to work but for future reference place the apktool jar and framework-res.apk in your C:Windows folder. Then open up command prompt, cd to the windows directory and type:
apktool if framework-res.apk
This will install the framework into an apktool folder for future projects. You should also repeat the process with twframework-res.apk in the rare case you work with a froyo ROM.

The .xml's you seek are not in the systemUI. They are in the FRAMEWORK.RES if I remember right.
Try FRAMEWORK-RES/DECOMPILED DIR/LAYOUT/STATUSBAR_LATEST_EVENT_CONTENT and there might be one more. Its been awhile....

Code:
[B]Battery Bar[/B]
v2
added height options and fixed default colors.
How To!
Ok so there are 2 files attached
First is a Zip with the files needed to add to the SystemUI.apk (THIS IS NOT FLASHABLE)
Second is an the Settings app for the Battery Bar.
Step 1
decompile your SystemUI.apk
i use Apk Manager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2
Navigate to smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\ Folder
Place the 3 Smali Files from the zip here
BatteryBar.smali
BatteryBar$1.smali
BatteryBar$SettingsObserver.smali
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3
You need to Navigate to the res\layouts\ Folder
open your statusbar.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4
Underneath the line with
Code:
com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView
add this
*** CHANGED ON v3 ***
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.BatteryBar android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" [B][COLOR="Red"]android:layout_height="wrap_content"[/COLOR][/B] />
it should be right at the bottom above the
Code:
i have added my statusbar.xml for reference if yours is in a different order no big deal just put it last and above this line
Code:
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 5
Recompile the apk however you normaly would (there are so many ways i wont cover this here)
then push it to your phone and reboot.
If you don't know how or are having issues this is how I do it!
Notes:
a. i have a file on my desctop that i edit this is a copy of the file pulled from my phone.
Steps:
1. after all mods are done open up apk manager
2. type 22 hit enter and pick the file you were editing ( SystemUI.apk )
3. type 11 hit enter and the app will recompile.
- 4. Open a copy of the SystemUI.apk ( see note a ) in winnra or 7zip ect put that window on one side of your screen ( windows 7 snap too (windows key + -> or <- ) is awesome for this )
5. Navigate to the projects folder of APK Manager and then navigate to the app you edited (SystemUI.apk)
6. Navigate to the /build/apk folder ( snap this to the other side of your screen ) ( Note that the build/apk folder has the same structure as the apk file open in winnra / 7zip )
7. for THIS MOD only! you will need these files simply drag the 2 files listed below into the same folder location in the open apk in winnra / 7zip
- /res/layouts/status_bar.xml
- /classes.dex
8. Push the apk that you draged the files into to your phone with adb like this
adb push [where ever your apk is]/SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 system/app/SystemUI.apk
9. whilst you have adb up reboot
adb reboot
+ 4. Open a copy of the SystemUI.apk ( see note a ) in winnra or 7zip ect put that window on one side of your screen ( windows 7 snap too (windows key + -> or
- 10. Proceed to next step
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-
Step 6
Once your status bar is back and running (you will have no battery bar yet)
Simply install "BatteryBarSettings.apk" then open the app and pick your settings!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thats it ( I think )!
all i ask is you don't modify the about section of the app if you choose to use it! and give credits where credits due. feel free to change my dodgy icon and if anyone has a better one i will also put the sources for the settings app up on my git when i get git back up ( and when i tidy up and add comments ) and running in the next few days so that those of you running on source versions can cook it in from scratch. ( i don't think i need to explain how to do that if you are compiling sources i think you'll know what to do )
Vissit My Git to have a Look
with some help i can probably port this to older android versions (<2.3) as needed but i dont have access to a rom to test it on currently. so if you can help me there let me know
Hope you found this helpfull! Let me know if this is not clear enough!
Q&A
Q: I am getting a FC on this or that, can you help me!
A: NO. We can't help you. Because what you just said means nothing to us.
We want to help you SO much, but in order to do that you need to report the bug properly.
We took care of that too, see here:

[APP] or [MOD] Battery Bar for All ROMs - Updated 16/1/12
Hiding the battery Icons on your beloved ROM's
tested on 2.3.* ROMS (Stock ROMS, AOSP, CM, MIUI) may sork on others aswell but 2.2 and below have a different process.
for anyone who understands this stuff a bit this code here is what i edited for our TEAM ROM. this is hiding with an option from an app that sets a "global" setting.
look in the statusbarpolicy.smali
i commented the part with "hide battery icon";
For everyone else what you will need to do is,
1. Decompile your SystemUI.apk
2. Open /smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarPolicy.smali
3. Find the UpdateBattery function.
this can be a long way down.
just do a search for "battery" and you will find it eventually.
Option A - Lock out the battery icon forever!
basicaly to perma hide the icon add this to the start of the update battery function after the bit that looks like this.
Code:
Code:
.locals 12
.parameter "intent"
.prologue
add this!
Code:
Code:
iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy;->mService:Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;
const-string v2, "battery"
const v0, 0x0
invoke-virtual {v1, v2, v0}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIconVisibility(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V
return-void
then recompile and push back to phone.
If you don't know how or are having issues this is how I do it!
Notes:
a. i have a file on my desctop that i edit this is a copy of the file pulled from my phone.
Steps:
1. after all mods are done open up apk manager
2. type 22 hit enter and pick the file you were editing ( SystemUI.apk )

5. Navigate to the projects folder of APK Manager and then navigate to the app you edited (SystemUI.apk)
6. Navigate to the /build/apk folder ( snap this to the other side of your screen ) ( Note that the build/apk folder has the same structure as the apk file open in winnra / 7zip )

- /classes.dex
8. Push the apk that you draged the files into to your phone with adb like this
adb push [where ever your apk is]/SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 system/app/SystemUI.apk
9. whilst you have adb up reboot
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that will perma hide the battery icon
Option B - Make it optional! ( my preferred way of doing things )
basically the same process but with different code and an app to set the settings.
i will add this soon and i will put the option to toggle into the BatteryBar settings app.

hi there ; tried it on a SGS2 with the latest CM nightly and then with CheckROM 3.1.1 -- didn't work. no serious hang nor crash, just...nothing happens (I've done the decompiling and recompiling with APKTool)

Worked perfect, Thanks.

sure, I installed the app and when first running the app, the "activate" box was already ticked. un-ticking and ticking it again did not help either :-l

Doesn't cm have it'd own bar? could be fighting.
Any chance of sending me your systemui and maybe grabbing some logs at boot and when you change the settings.

well I thought it had it, hence me flashing it, but apparently not. either that or it's really really ... really well hidden. neither the latest SGS2 nightly (116), nor the stable rls (7.1) seem to have the top bar. i flashed the stable CM 7.1 yesterday evening and didn't apply your mod to the stable version just yet. gonna try that today and keep you posted (i'm in Czech, GMT+1, if you're australian, we might have quite the time difference here ).
what I'll do is i'll send you the unaltered systemui from the stable CM7.1 AND the same systemui with your mod, if that's okay with you ?
what is your method of choice for decompiling and recompiling, btw ?

sure thing, i'll do as I said hereabove. also, which logs, pre- or post-mod ?

Hey there. First, thank you so much for this.
I apologize for the noob question, but I've never decompiled an apk before, but I'm eager to learn.
I used apkTool to unpack SystemUI.apk, and then added the files per your instructions, and then repacked. I then pushed SystemUI.apk to /system/app and rebooted. Upon reboot the status bar didn't work at all. When I looked at the apk itself it says "Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package."
I'm assuming I've not recompiled properly. I've attached the apkTool version I used. Perhaps I've some made obvious error? Any help you could provide would be much appreciated! I'll try again and see what happens in the meantime.

I used & followed this tuto : http://youtu.be/YgWd0jsDtH0
if I used the plain SystemUI from APKTool\SystemUI\dist , I get neverending FC. upon reboot, the status bar is simply gone and even the launcher's "Notifications" soft menu option doesn't make it appear. gotta reflash the ROM to set things straight & get the statusbar back.
if I copy/paste "resources.arsc" from APKTool\SystemUI\build\apk into the fresh SystemUI I obtain in APKTool\SystemUI\dist, there are no FC and the status bar shows, but your top bar mod isn't present, not even when repeatedly checking/unchecking/rechecking "show battery bar" in your app.
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand & follow your tutorial, so I believe that my problem comes from somewhere in the recompiling process...
at work now, whenever I have 10min, I'll upload my systemUI apks

OK my gimme 5 i'll edit the op with my full decompile/compile process
EDIT*** all done. hope it is enough... i really had to think on how to word it all LOL!
also the file in apktool/[apk name]/dist
has no signatures and will not run (from memory)
Pvy.

well, so far...no good. i followed your tuto using APK Manager 4.9, I got numerous errors when decompiling. log coming up in next post.

pt 2 of the log is basically repeating the pt1 above with different "name=" values
it goes on like that for a while and then at the very end of the log :

i tried reducing memory size (option 20) or running the .bat as Admin (Win 7 x64) but the same error kept coming back in the log. and before you ask, I do have ADB installed but APK Manager doesn't find it.
i'll try flashing a stock SGS2 ROM or a non-CM ROM, who knows, maybe it's CM's SystemUI's fault...i'll also try doing the procedure on a more powerful PC than the curent one I got at work

APK Manager relies on apktool and it seems you haven't installed the appropriate framework. Check here for more details.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that makes perfect sense, efharisto good sir
I'm somewhat of an advanced-noob person -- I don't have problems fiddling with files and recovering from my mistakes, but when something's implicit (as pulling the framework files), that's when my brain starts to FC
--- EDIT ---
alright, it decompiled ! now it seems the problem lies in the recompiling :

i pulled framework-res.apk from the phone, copied it to C:\Users\(username)\apktool\framework and renamed it 1.apk since it's the filename apktool is looking for, and i got the above log when recompiling
any ideas before i go jump off a cliff... ?

that makes perfect sense, efharisto good sir
I'm somewhat of an advanced-noob person -- I don't have problems fiddling with files and recovering from my mistakes, but when something's implicit (as pulling the framework files), that's when my brain starts to FC

Trust me, pulling the framework is as harmless as it gets!
Pushing a modified one is somewhat a risk, but if you have working adb and/or recovery, you should have nothing to worry about.
Good luck!

You certainly did not install the framework by renaming it to 1.apk.
The link I posted nowhere does it mention this is what you should do.
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk

yup, I'll re-do it all this afternoon and take my time. now I'm trying to install Pvy's MOD at work, when I have 5 free minutes between two tasks...

so... i solved this the lazy way
I actually found a package that's flashable in recovery that did the trick ! it was lying around on a Polish Samsung forum (link : http://s5830.pl/thread-242.html). it is intended only for CyanogenMod and apparently the Galaxy Ace, but it works perfect on the latest CM 7.1 and a Galaxy S2 !
link to the mod flashable, in CWM recovery : http://db.tt/79ytqshA
maybe some of you brainiacs could make a universal, flashable zip ? all credit goes to Konsky from http://s5830.pl (and to Lady Luck for not [email protected]µ*& up my phone...)
anyway, BIG thanks to Pvy and the rest of you guys for the immediate follow-up customer care and i'm bookmarking this thread nonetheless for when I'll change my SGS2 - hopefully by then I'll be experienced enough not to fumble over de/re-compiling

Looks good and works without Problems in my X10mini with GingerDX v17 and naa Kernel06.
Good job, a little nice Customisation

[Video] Beginners guide to DeOdexing and Theming APKs

This is a beginners guide to DeOdexing and Theming APKs
I only started theming the past week so I by no means am the best person to make a tutorial on theming but, when I was trying to learn I couldn't find anything like this so I hope it will help anyone who wants to learn how to theme.
You will need:
apktools
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40066052/apktool.zip
APK-Multi-tools
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40066052/APK-Multi-Tool.zip
Baksmali and Smali (for DeOdexing)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40066052/DeOdexing.zip
and I didn't mention in the video but you need an image editor, which I use pain.net and also notepad++ or equivalent.
I hope this covers enough material to get you started.. It's pretty much all I know how to do right now from what I've learned over the past couple days but please post if you have questions and if I can't answer, hopefully somebody else in the forum can.
[edit] sorry apparently my video is too long for youtube so I just put it in dropbox... hope it works well enough for ya.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a6y4vgqg58jq76y/20121006_1340_47.avi
[EDIT]
Also not covered in the video are system APKs that are tied to the framework such as SystemUI.apk
for those all you need to do is copy the content of your framework folder that you already have in the "DeOdexing" folder and past it into: C:\Users\{your user name}\apktool\framework
Then before doing "apktool d SystemUI.apk", first do "apktool if SystemUI.apk". Doing that first should allow the APK to decompile just fine.

This is the BEST theming tutorial I have ever seen. I would like to convert it to a written tutorial and post it here (with your permission).
All is good here. Thank you SOO much Brother for that tutorial. I am only having trouble when I try to decompile SystemUI.apk.
These are the errors I get:

What can I do to get around these errors when trying to decompile the SystemUI.apk?
If I already have a deodexed apk for SystemUI.apk, could this help at all with the errors?
How would I go about this process using an already deodexed apk?

You could host it on Veoh, just have to get it down to 1Gig. I've never used veoh before, so I dunno if people hate that site or anything.
I can transcode your video with optimal settings to get that 1Gig sweet spot and still retain as much quality as possible if you like. PM me if you want me to set it up and get you the file.

I have updated OP with additional information...
If anyone wants to use any of this information feel free to use it in anyway you like (including making a written tutorial).

[SOLVED] [Q][HELP] Decompiling Settings.apk

Can't find framework resources for package of id: 2. You must install proper fra
mework files, see project website for more info.
However, I already installed framework from XXJPU and this Settings.apk is from XXJPU, and still can't decompile.
If you can help me, please, please let me know what to do to decompile it properly or what framework I need to install. Thank you :good:

Someone must know this... This error is really annoying...
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda app-developers app

SOLVED.
With the help of Jason-EX I succesfully decompiled it.
SOLUTION: install both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk (apktool if) and then decompile Settings.apk.
Thanks Jason!
