So, I started creating a custom ROM for my device, I edited '/system/priv-app/Settings/Settings.apk' signed with ZipSigner, as i saw a tutorial, i signed with one option marked as platform, then I replace the app and rebooted my phone. When I open menu, Settings is not showing anymore. What did I do wrong?
I'm using Android 5.0.2.
I just edited some strings and an image.
I'm just 'editing' a custom ROM with custom apps.
The ROM works perfectly in my phone and I just edited some things that were already modified by the porter of the ROM.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks everybody and sorry for bad english!

Check again with apktool logcat. Does it true signed or get any problem when compile this apk?

In "framework-res.apk/res/layout" when I edit the "status_bar_expanded.xml",
even if I add one dot and delete it again and save the file, it doesn't work
anymore and it stucks on my bootanimation, and loops over and over.
I use "apk manager" for decompiling and compiling the framework-res.apk.
Does any one know what the problem is?
Thank you?

i know it's obviously to the code. upload your .xml let me take a look.
also ensure that the /(yourdirectory)/apktool/framework/1.apk where 1.apk is your original framework-res.apk and /(yourdirectory)/apktool/framework/2.apk where 2.apk is your original tw-framework-res.apk

Hey
Do any know what @id/plmnLabel and @id/spnLabel refers to? Im speculating it has something to do with service provider.. Since the theme of framework is set to Black, the service provider text color is black as well, so ive made edits to
...Color=?textColorSecondary on both (removed Inverse) ive not tested this, maybe u have Kay?

Here is my "status_bar_expanded.xml"
I just want to change some colors. I did the same thing for other xmls like
"status_bar_latest_event_content.xml" and it works perfectly, but for that
one, it stucks on my bootanimation. when I compile the xml I get no error
but I don't know what the problem is.
For that 1.apk and 2.apk, no I didn't do that.
I'll try it and report back.

Honestly, I don't know what those "manifest" and "metainf" are, because I changed some xmls and I'd had no problem with them, So I thought that's the way to compile and decompile framework-res.apk.
Could you plz tell me what should I do? Thanks.

I thought u already have this covered because it sounded like you have no problem with other XML except this.
But if u have not heard of the two files/folder I have hightlighted chances are you don't have them in your newly compiled apk which will cause bootloop.
After compiling ur apk you should see that meta-inf folder is missing. U need to copy that from the original API, along with manifest.XML to the new apk.

If you're running miui, you can simply push the files from the extended settings mod zip. and change it. Even better, you can apply pngs by pushing the images to a theme mtz.

a simple (decompile, edit, recompile) for your ROM's XperiaLockScreen.apk would be enough to remove it for good
if you wan't help with that, just tell me which you're using and I'll edit its XperiaLockScreen.apk and upload it for you as flashable Zip

I'm terribly sorry about this delayed reply, after hours of trying, it turned out, Samsung puts the lockscreen hint in framework-res.apk,
while Sony puts it in an individual app (it was in UxpNxtLockScreen.apk in the previous Sony lockscreen),
and now that they have changed there lockscreen to a brand new one, they changed the lockscreen apk name as well,
to become (XperiaLockScreen.apk).
Anyway, all that might be not important, all you need is something to remove that silly hint with, right!!
this is a flashable zip that contains a modded XperiaLockScreen.apk from Sony KK Generic firmware,
it should work on all Sony KK official or based ROMs, and the message won't appear in all languages
Tested on my Z1C using [KITKAT] D5503_14.3.A.0.681_Generic by Munjeni
Enjoy

Does it means we can extract the apk from 4.3 and use it in 4.4? Or will it not work due to some internal change in 4.4? I like 4.3 lockscreen betetr

I don't think it is that simple, cuz there are some other files (maybe in /framework or /lib),
if you look for it in google for example (port Sony lock screen) you should find all the info about what files you need to change to get 4.3 lockscreen on KK, [I'll look into it but I might not post anything about it, will see]

Simply remove the lockscreen apk on whatever ROM/FW you're using. You're stuck with a black background on JB though but works a treat on KK.
Ooooooooooooooo! I'll try! Thanks!

If you're talking about the zip I provided under your request, then I'm glad to hear that.
also one last thing, it would be better if you change this thread's title to (something like):
[Mod] Remove "Swipe to unlock" text from lockscreen for Sony KK framework
So that if anyone is searching for the same thing would find the solution easily
have a nice day

well actually there can be a number of ways for this to happen...being a rom chef i have myself encountered these problems while rom development
the major cause is the SIGNATURE CHECK.every app and dex file is signed with a key if an app is different from the rest of the apps by signature the the syatem fails to execute or install it this ends with the no statusbar error
as for build number sonty hasnt modeified the systemui in current updates so i dont think that build is any problem
tnx for reply

tnx bro, this is what happen, i've choose one systemui thats works perfectly with them and start to modify that systemui, some of them can use that modified ui some cannot , as you said maybe the signature check is the one reason so we can fix this if i will used the androidmanifest and meta-inf of that unmodified systemui to my modified systemui?again thanks for your response bro.

yes as much as i know if u dont edit androidmanifest.xml the signature remains the same so it should work
I already tried that thing bro same not working.
Hey guys,
so I tried to modify the SystemUI.apk to get a stock Nougat feeling but it does not work for me.
I used APKTOOL (java -jar apktool.jar d SystemUI.apk for decompiling and b SystemUI/ for compiling).
But when I flashed it, there is no Statusbar anymore, the SystemUI.apk is broken. I only changed a few colors in res/values/colors.xml.
Don't know what I did wrong.
Maybe someone can give me a simple Guide to make it.
Thank you!

Well, I'm not an expert, and the last time I modified a SystemUI was on a Sony device, months ago, so it might be different for Samsung/new devices, I don't know, really.
But if I remember correctly you need the framework-res apk too, somewhere from the /system/framework.
Here is a thread that might help.
Also, you need to set the right permission for system apps.
Best regards.
