Alright Wtf did I do...I've gone stupid so forgive me.
Tried to rename systemui. Apk to apk.bak and it fc'd systemui of course. Restored my system nandroid backup. Tried to move new systemui into app before renaming old systemui. It overwrote the old one, but I still have a backup of the original. So it rebooted again, but I had the new ui. Everything was fine but the lag was intense, so I cleared cache dalvik and fixed permissions. Reboot again, now when I boot up it takes 5 minutes to load the clock and grant su permissions, then I get repeated toast of fauxclock and fauxsound being granted su probably ten times each.
I restored the original systemui again and re flashed Faux's kernel but no joy.

Odin phone back to stock then do factory reset.

I restored system and data, reflashed kernel, all appears to be well.
I want to know how I borked it. The instructions clearly state to first rename the existing systemui.apk to systemui.apk.bak. I did that, and I knew it would happen but I couldn't stop myself, it started fc'ing. So what did I miss.

I don't think you can exchange or modify the systemui.apk without using ADB to "stop" the phone first. I'm not an ADB specialist but I think there is some information about it in the P-Rom thread in the Development section. Of course, I might be wrong about this.
Next time copy systemui.apk and the systemui.odex (if you are odexed) to your sd card then rename the copies to bak and then copy over thr new one.

The problem is renaming to bak causes immediate fc's, so there's no time to copy the new one over. Can you rename a file through adb? That's only way I could see this working.

Ive copied my systemui files to the sd and overwritten with no issues.
Use root explorer copy the stock ui fike to sd, then just overwrite the one in the app folder.

Word. And does your phone auto reboot after you overwrite?

No, I manually reboot it, ive done it a few times. I was on stock rooted when I did it tho.

I am on omega now, I just copied systemui to my sd card then copied it back to the system/app folder and overwrote, didnt reboot or fc.

Hmm.. I'm stock rooted except for the kernel. Screwing with systemui in any manner makes my phone angry. I just overwrote my original systemui I made a backup of before trying the new one and it went through and then auto reboot. My wifi is still a little funky. Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and Odin to stock/factory reset tomorrow morning after I take the kid to school.
Will Odin clear my recovery or kernel or is that untouched during the process. If om gonna go through with it I might as well go full tilt boogie.
Thanks for the help.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Odin will not wipe, you would need to odin and then do a factory reset from within the os.
Is your firmware and basebsnd matching? Maybe the systemui file is for the mdl version?
Have you done the ota?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Systemui was for MDL which is what I'm on. I might as well start totally fresh if I'm gonna do it. Odin to stock and reset to clear everything I've done to the phone and start like I took it out of the box.
Edit: alright whatever... Copied over the new systemui phone auto rebooted but everything is fine so far. Even wifi. What an f'n debacle. Never had so much trouble with a simple mod. Thanks for the help homie.

Whenever changing out system files, it's preferable to use adb shell. Before touching the files, always use the command "stop". This shuts down android, but you still retain the adb shell. It's the perfect opportunity to mess with files like SystemUI or Framework-res.
Also, don't forget to delete applicable .odex files if you're screwing with system apk's.
See that's another point I become lost. I can't delete the odex file because I'm odexed. At least AFAIK. the ui I downloaded was for odexed roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Can someone please clarify? I should not delete odex files on an odexed rom, right? I'm going to Google adb commands to learn more about it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Honest OP is honest.
Do not delete the odex file if you are not de odexed

Hey man, I came from a world of flashable zips. Life was easy back then. I had to adb in to unlock my Atrix and that's the extent of my knowledge, and that was two years ago. I love learning. And when something goes wrong I have to know why, not just know how to fix it. I still don't know why renaming systemui to systemui.apk.bak crashed my phone, and it pisses me off.
Anyway, I appreciate the input of everyone involved in my ridiculous post for real.

sorry, im not trying to be a ****; i had an Atrix 4G too, and that was weird compared to WinMo5/6/6.1 stuff back in the days. I really dont know jack about Android anymore; i did with older WinMo HTC devices, and enough to comfortably root, SIM unlock, and flash CM7 on my Atrix 4G and keep the fingerprint scanner working 100%.
However i do know that you should take care switching from deodexed to odexed, and thoroughly read up before you try, and especially post a question before you goof it up. Not trying to be hard on you; i soft bricked many a device; THAT is what i was referring to, really, when i posted. That ive been there, done that, and at least you are being honest about it. Not trying to be a **** or get down on you. I read a lot, and PM for clarification or specialized questions/instructions.
Mistakes are mistakes; we all make them, and these are crazy complicated devices; they are bound to happen. Best of luck!
No harm no foul. I didn't take it harshly, after all I stated it myself in the subject

How do i set the permission 644?
I did all the things but still no emoji.
I get the keyboard but can't se the emoji. blank spaces... :silly:
Edit: got root browser and changed the settings to 644. But no Emoji.
Cant see them on the phone but when i send them people can see them.
I have a solution for this. But I can't post it... odd!
My girlfriend's got an unrooted S4. Is there any possibility for her to get a newer LG Keyboard without rooting her device?
Thanks in advance

Sorry mate… don’t think so… you see, you have to get access to the system folder i order to copy and alter the files. But if you figure out a way to do that without root… then good for you mate. Good luck… :good:

Sorry but why are you trying this through ADB? You are decompiling and editing your own LGSystemUI.apk switching icons and you are trying to overwrite it? (pull and push)
Do you have ROOT access? This app is in System and I think root is a must and if you trying to change it while ROM is running it will crash.
So I guess you are doing it in Recovery ? Meaning you are rooted, and you are adding the correct permissions?
So either you are not rooted in which case I do not think this is possible or you are rooted and there is more things that can go wrong.
Need more info from you.
ALSO if you are rooted why dont you try Xposed and its vast theming possibilities ? Easier as decompiling an app. Even here in this section you should have some options to choose from.
Thanks for response so yes i am root no rom installed i did this all day in my epic when i had it but its not working on this lg the whole reason is for so i can change the wifi and signal bar icons only to a specific icons i have, any help please

I am not sure I can help you there much. As you did not mention where it fails?
Its a long time since I was doing this with the APKTool or some "All in one" solution. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/guide-to-decompiling-and-recompiling-with-apktool/
Basically you have to find the right tool for the right Android version. Follow the guide on the recompiling - so LG accepts the file. And adb push in recovery with the permissions so you do not have problems starting it.
Always have a back up!
But maybe check in the xposed department really. I mean here are some modders already
I would suggest write them a PM like @ock he made a theme kitkat icons in his thread. Maybe he could just tell you how to exchange it with your own icons.
Imma research thanks man u pointed me in right direction so far

Open the APK with Winrar navigate to res/drawable-xxhdpi and drag your icons there (make sure the names match with the names of the PNG's you want to replace. Then adb push LGSystem.apk

If you would be so kind and give me the following information:
- your phone model
- ROM version
- is your phone rooted
Some ROM variants have problems with the Roboto fonts (inaccurate display), if you are rooted I can provide you with the files you need to fix the issue.
EDIT: also, no need for bumping your topic every 5 minutes. When someone comes who can help you solve your problem, they will help. Just be patient.

One thing worth mentioning is that when i had xposed installed with a few modules it was ok. After uninstalling them it became like this. Don't really know if there is a connection

Which modules did you use? While you may be using Smart Gothic, the widget itself might use Roboto.
Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0b08vcipbuge9at/fonts_10e.zip
1. Unpack to /system (the .xml to system/etc, the fonts to system/fonts)
2. Reboot
Let us know if it works.
