[Help] [Pro] Need help to modify Stock Settings.apk properly

I installed all apk found under system/framework with apktool.
*framework-res.apk & another apk
Then decompiled Settings.apk of Xperia pro stock ics Rom.
After that ,without making any change I compiled the apk. Then I surprisingly noticed that the size compiled apk is 1/3 of original stock settings.apk .
Then I flashed the apk using cwm to my phone to test if it work .after flashing, the setting icon is invisible in launcher menu !
Plz anybody tech me how decompile and re compile stock settings.apk of Xperia pro properly..
----------------****---------------
I'm noob. Help me to be great like U

This is because u have to delete the xml u edited and resources.arc and then compile it. Use apk manager. Its easyy to use.
What exactly u trying to do? May be I can help you out.
For ur last line "Be a beginner, but not a noob"

What tool do u use? For settings u edit setting_header.xml where is that present and all u must be knowing?!
After clicking on compiling apk manager asks to delete resources.arc and also the xml you edited. Then compile it should.

What did you select for the drivers?
I noticed before I had to wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions in recovery afterwards to get it to work with the stock music player.

Yes sir, I have been using it on all my roms and stock since I found out what it was from the first release of Blue Kuban.
You need to make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they are in the thread as well as install the proper drivers.

Hey your link appears to be dead. Would it be possible to relink me? I've been searching long and hard and this is the closest I've found to getting the SHealth.apk with the exact version my S4 came with.

This link is from Sac's 4.4 V3 ROM thread's OP.

I'm actually not sure what version it is since I didn't use it myself. You may want to ask for details in that thread to see if it's what you're looking for.

[Q] LG camera version 4.3.1

Hello Guys, I heard about LG to update the camera apk to 4.3.1 and fix about every problem the camera had.
Some of you received this update?
And if so, where can we find an apk of it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974.
Only the Korean versions received this update if I remember right.

Hi,
Yes the one in the link above is modified.
Stock 4.3.1 camera app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525783.

Hey, I'm trying to install these apks but it fails to install... Do I have no choice but to root and flash them? Can't I just install the apks?

@xdafoundingmember, I downloaded and tried to sign the apk... However when I tried pushing, it said incosistent certficates.. Since this is a system app, what type of certificates do you need? I've tried the auto but fail fail... grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Yea that's true. ... just push it if your rooted

I'm not rooted and don't want to just yet... Does anyone know if this update comes with the D802c update?

Ok I'm going to root but not install custom recovery.. I know you can move the files into system folder using root explorer but where do I move all of the files (apks, libs etc)??

Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

You push apk's into system/app and libs into system/lib but you have to find a way to clear dalvik cache and cache so that when you reboot android system will read all apps and create. dex files for them to work and without custom recovery I don't know if any other app would do without any problems.
