Hi everybody,
I use the BCM CM9 2.2U2, and I want to mod the Mms.apk to override the SMS to MMS conversion after 4 texts.
Here is what I did:
- I used Apk-Multi Tool to decompile the Mms.apk.
- I modify /res/xml/mms_config.xml (to be precise, I replace the line "<int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">4</int>" by "<int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">100</int>")
- I recompile the apk, answering "y" to both questions and being careful with what Apk Multi Tool told me (basically, I deleted the files I needed to delete in the "keep" folder, ie. mms_config.xml and something.armsc-or-something-like that)
- I push the modded apk to my phone
But unfortunately, after I did that, I could not see the Mms.apk in the app drawer. I checked the permissions and the owner and they were correct (or at least, the same as the working Mms.apk).
I attached the original Mms.apk I'm trying to mod, and the actual modded Mms.apk (which does not work).?
Does somebody have an idea of what's gone wrong?
Thank you in advance!

I have the exact same problem! Did you find any solution?
I gave up but I've found a Mms.apk (from the latest CM9 source) which does include a option to not convert SMS into MMS (you have to change it in the settings of the app). But it is for the HTC One X, so I do not know if it works for other devices. I attach it so you can try.
Thank you

The problem is that all apps must be signed to run on Android. Once you recompile your apk with apktool, you have to sign it with a release key (and optionally but recommended - run zipalign), before pushing it back to your phone.
The android developers guide has an excellent article on creating a set of release keys and using them to sign your apk (the apk just has to be signed with any key, it doesn't have to match the same key the original ROM authors used).
First of all, this guide uses elements of another method, originally posted on G+ and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW1UsCyOidY) but for some reason, on the Nexus 9, this method does not always work. The below method will work 100% of the time on the Nexus 9.
Go into the Theme Engine, and apply the SYSTEM DEFAULT THEME
Open Play Store, and purchase and download SQLite Editor (paid app, have not found a free version that actually works with Root access) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en
Open SQLite editor.
In the APP list (selected by default) tap on the Settings Storage entry that says com.android.providers.settings underneath it
Tap on settings.db
Tap on secure
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list, and long press on themeConfig entry
Tap on DELETE ENTRY
Exit SQLite Editor and go into Settings
Select Apps, and then All
Find the Theme Engine, and tap on it
Select FORCE CLOSE and then CLEAR DATA and clear the Theme Engine's data
Reboot your Nexus 9
Apply whatever theme you would like, and enjoy everything being themed, that was not themed before
Prosper
Please let me know if this method did, or did not work for you. I have tried it on three different N9s that were all experiencing the Theme Engine bug, and it worked on all three.
Thanks for reading.

Can't decompile & compile resource Android M apk with apktool 2.0.3 ! , any idea ?
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1131
Did you try oldest version apktool v2.0.0 for example ?
@grzegorz354
With version of apktool did you use to decompile / recompile systemui MM ?

Apktool2.0.0 works but not 100%
You can decompile and recompile but fc
But with 7zip you can copy changed files to original apk and work

you cant decompile all apks like smusic or smartmanager. a trick that i use is recompile framework-res with apktool 2.0.0 and then recompile it and install it on 2.0.3
@asc1977,
Happy to be allowed here
Let's build[emoji14]
About Apktool, i add this info :
For 9.qmg it needed to inject files manually from original apk to recompiled one with 7zip, and this just to Apktool will be full compatible with theses new drawable formats.
I see this in SystemUi, SecSettings2 for now. Surely more apk need this injection.
Hey guys, Thanks for adding me. The issue when building a rom where wifi wouldn't work after flash has been fixed by edgar. He pointed to init.sec.boot.sh inside the etc folder. I simply changed permissions on this file using a root explorer and wifi works again. That simple. I havent tried it yet but im assuming adding this line to updater-script will do the job.
set_metadata("/system/etc/init.se.boot.sh", "uid", 0, "gid", 2000, "mode", 0755, "capabilities", 0x0, "selabel", "ubject_r:system_file:s0");

Does it working after Reboot ?
Because sometimes system files permissions revert back by itselves.
With init.d script it force perms like this
#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.se.boot.sh

You know, I didn't even check I will now.. Though superr has fixed it in his kitchen also, and doing it in root explorer was just proof of concept.
Edit. Yes it works through a reboot. I built a ROM using set_metadata in superr kitchen 1.34 and it's all working great now too. Build away fellas

I start my build with SuperR this evening on 3DPAD firmware.
For deodex do you use Oat2dex or Smali/Baksmali method with set_metadata ?
The rom I'm using is Resurrection remix and there's no option to display seconds in the status bar clock. I have read some things and tried the "xmoreintime" Xposed module but still no luck as it hasn't been updated for a while and it has no effect. I can append seconds to the date with a custom Java format but the seconds don't update unless I turn the screen off and on. Will I have to decompile and recompile the systemui if not where can I edit the clock format to add seconds? Must I decompile the apk or can I just edit the systemui XML files in the shared preferences folder?
Solved. :good: The Xposed module: flat style bar indicators seems to work. But if there's an easy way to do this without Xposed as I like to use as little modules as I can, then I'd like to hear.
Hello
I've tested quite a few roms and found a feature I live very much, it's called dynamic navbar - however I've found a Rom that I absolutely love and it's pure nexus, as much as I love it there is a huge downside for me and that's the lack of dynamic navbar.
I have seen a app on play store called "navbar apps" but u don't like it, and I've seen that you can extract the framework and edit via a pc. But is there a way to enable dynamic navbar on PN without those two options? Preferably via the phone.
Thanks

Hello... Either use the mentioned app or do the changes in your framework. But you'll likely have to do it for every updates as the developer often makes change in the framework. Maybe you could maybe kindly make a request to the developer?!
Good luck...

Just follow this 2 guides...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-dynamic-nav-bar-android-l-m-n-t3515080
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/guide-enable-pixel-launcher-round-icon-t3536267
Basically you have to edit the framework-res.apk, obviously you have to be rooted, install the requirements on the second link, here I'll summarize the steps I follow, but if you have any doubt read and follow the 2 guides, the second one to decompile and compile the apk and the first one indicates the lines you have to change and the files in which you find them.
List of tools that we need
1. JDK, download it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...sp-138363.html
2. Apktool, download it here https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/
3. Root Explorer
4. Text Editor
STEP 1 - Get the firmware-res.apk
First you need your own device firmware-res.apk, it is located here \Root\System\framework\
STEP 2 - Copy firmware-res.apk to the same folder with Apktool.jar
I recommend locate it on folder easy to located like desktop folder
STEP 3 - Decompile firmware-res.apk
Open CMD on your folder (on windows use [shift + right click -> open command window here]) that firmware-res.apk and Apktool.jar located and run this command
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk
STEP 4 - Open styles.xml and change values
Navigate to res, values, and open styles.xml with your text editor of choice (located at \framework-res\res\values\styles.xml)
Search for "navigationBar". There will be three instances of it. You only have to change the last two. Change "@colorBlack" to "?colorPrimaryDark" and save your changes
STEP 6 - Open colors.xml and change values
Navigate to res, values, and open colors.xml with your text editor of choice (located at \framework-res\res\values\colors.xml)
Open colors.xml and search for "input_method_navigation_guard". Change "ff000000" to "00000000" and save the file. If you don't change this, the navigation bar will turn black when you open the keyboard
STEP 7 - Compile your framework-res.apk
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res -c
STEP 8 - Replace old firmware-res.apk with the new one
Copy your new compiled firmware-res.apk in framework-res\dist to your Android Device \Root\System\framework\. It is recommended to backup the default framework.res-apk first
Note: It is recommended to copy it from recovery, but you can also copy it directy via root explorer but your device will restart instantly
I do not take credit for this guide, do thank the op's if you find it useful.
Also is not perfect as a custom integration but it's something.
