As you all know, Sprint disables the 1x icon from displaying when you are in 1x coverage. It still shows the 3G icon. I know that you can modify the values file and edit the boolean to enable it. I have tried to use apktool and I cannot even get the program to work.

Anyhow, I was wondering if someone who knows how to do this could decompile my SystemUI.apk file, fix it, recompile it and send it back to me. It would be greatly appreciated! Just let me know, and I'll email you my SystemUI.apk file and whatever you may need to get it done.

Thanks,

Rich

Attached is my SystemUI.apk. The reason I need this particular one done is because I've made a bunch of image changes and stuff, particularly for the signal bars, battery, and data icons.

Thanks!

I download the files, and extract them where they say to do so. I can't get it to run at all though. Says the file isn't valid or something like that.

firstly make sure you have the JRE/JDK installed from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

  1. download this file: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390288116658471591
  2. extract it to c:\apktool
  3. copy framework-res.apk to c:\apktool
  4. copy twframework-res.apk to c:\apktool
  5. open a command prompt (with admin privileges if on win8), navigate to c:\apktool
  6. type apktool if framework-res.apk
  7. next type apktool if twframework-res.apk
  8. copy any.apk to c:\apktool
  9. type apktool d any.apk to decompile
  10. edit the files in the c:\apktool\any\ you need changed
  11. to recompile type apktool b any any.apk

there are a few more steps left but you need to be able to get this working first.
