[Q] Decompiling systemui.apk

[koreanschoolkid]

Is that safe on SD CM10.1? I never had a boot from SD device before nor have I have I gone through the trouble to do this as ROM Toolbox usually satisfied my transparent status bar needs but that caused a no boot situation for me on the Nook HD.

Yes that should be ok. Just don't try it on stock.

Thank you

Thank you

But I forgot to mention to be wary of slight differences in code between CM10 and CM10.1 when you make the changes. What I meant about being ok, is it ok to decompile and recompile and put back into /system.

For some odd reason I could not get past decompiling framework-res

Are you using the latest version of Multi-Tool? I found older versions would not work on framework-res.

I got the latest version (I think) of apktool and it seems to go through framework-res fine but I get error messaged when I try to do systemui.
I'll try reinstalling and going through it again
Over the years I've found that just spending a night full of rage and occasional weeping usually ends up fixing my phone/tablet problems.
Gonna be one long night...

To do SystemUI you need to setup framework-res in the setup first. It uses it to help decompile. Read the instructions.

Yeah I did that part. Kind of why I was confused as I figured the error should only occur if I didn't

Must have done something wrong though

Apktool is the old version of the tool. You need APK-Multi-Toolv1.0.10 or higher. Search the web for it. The old tool bombs out too often on the newer Android versions.

I have given up
but the knowledge gained here translated well into making my Fascinate status bar transparent.
Thank you for the info and can never thank you enough for the boot from SD option
