Change blink rate from notification LED - framework-res.apk

I need help to change blink rate from the notification LED in framework-res.apk
When decompile in folder res/values are file integers.xml
I've change defaultNotificationLedOff to 500 to make faster blinking.
When I recompile apk and flash to phone it doesnt boot.
Can someone help?
Im on Omega v5

I am tying to do the same thing on my Sony Xperia ZL.
I have been using Apk manager to de and re compile.
The problem with me was that the new edited integers.xml did not show in the new recompiled fie.
In order to see what I am saying, decompile the framework-res.apk, make the changes in the integers.xml and then recompile.
Now Decompile you own work and open the integers.xml, you will be surprised what you see.
The changes you made do not exist.

I met the same problem. When I decompile the samsung I9500 framework-res.apk, then modify nothing and recompile it. When I put the recompiled file into the system, the system will auto reboot and can't go to the lockscreen.
But when I doing the same thing on HTC device, it works well, so why this happen?

EDIT: Can I give u the apk to decompile.. as im noob in these things

Did you import "framework-res.apk" and "twframework-res.apk"?
If yes then are you using the same framework from the same rom of the "settings.apk" or your using settings.apk of other rom?

WTF, giving error while uploading zip.. :/

your first screenshot shows that you have not placed framework-res.apk in the location your command prompt is at
in other words you did not place framework-res.apk in the location c:\new folder
just as a tip - when working with dos prompt - never put a space in folder or file names - it doesnt like it

No, Ive placed two folders named 'apktool' and 'new folder'...
'apktool ' includes apkmultitool and new folder includes PY-APKTOOL, I found that here http:// http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39697820&postcount=4 respectively.
Ive used apkmultitool as:
I renamed framework-res.apk as apktool if framework-res.apk and tried to decompile it. Bit i ve faced an error.
I could not install framework-res.apk in my computer..
Framework-res.apk:
I followed guide to decompile framework-res.apk from here [URL=" http://caliban666isaddicted.blogspot.in/2013/06/guide-for-change-platlogoeasytextmaybe.html?m=1" ] http://caliban666isaddicted.blogspot.in/2013/06/guide-for-change-platlogoeasytextmaybe.html?m=1 [/URL]
And done my modifications in framework-res.apk and installed it successfully.
While I was trying to decompile settings.apk, the errors were occuring..

I dont understand what you are doing with importing the framework
just do this
create a folder called apktool in the root of c: - in other words create a folder apktool so its location is c:\apktool
place framework-res.apk from the rom zip along with the apk you wish to decompile - in this case settings.apk in the folder apktool you have just created
open a command prompt as admin
type the following
cd c:\apktool
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d settings.apk settingsdecompiled

no problems with decompiling that apk
Its user error - make sure you are using apktool correctly - there is no point in uploading any decompiled files because you will not be able to recompile it if you dont learn how to use it including trying anything else in the future
here is a screen shot with all my commands
make sure you put framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and settings.apk in the folder to which your command prompt is at - in my case its c:\apktool

it means you havent installed apktool correctly and/or not got java jdk installed as well
Java development tools (JDK)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html
Apktool
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
Place both apktool files in C:\Windows\
see my thread here for a full picture guide to using apktool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206938
also why have you renamed your apks to apktool if framework-res and so on in your screenshot thats a big no - do not rename your apk files
they should just be called framework-res.apk settings.apk and twframework.apk
you have renamed them to commands you type into a command prompt and I dont understand why you have done that!
you type in the command prompt apktool if framework-res.apk - you do not rename any files

well done you have decompiled settings.apk to a folder called settings
make sure you use notepad++ to edit any xml files (different from windows notepad)
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.3.html
to recompile just type
apktool b settings newsettings.apk
and it will recompile the folder to an apk called newsettings.apk (assuming no errors have been made in modding files)
you can then rename this apk back to settings.apk and sign it if required (if you have edited the androidmanifest you need to sign the apk) - you can use zipsigner from the playstore to sign apks if you need to - use a testkey for non system apps and a platform key for system apps

Cant Recompile Framework-Res.APK

So ive been trying to modify the framework-res.apk and i can decompile it but just cant recompile it, Even if i just decompile with no edits then re-compile it errors out with APKTool or XdaAutotool or apk multi tool. Anyone have an luck????

Are you using the S5 framework and twframework-res? Or perhaps you have an out of date decompiler. Did you copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from your the old apk to the recompiled apk? It's hard to guess at the problem since you didn't give us crucial details on what tool versions and steps you used or exact error messages you saw. There are a number of threads on the subject, so do a search to see what is working for others.

Chech each line you edited for a error. What tool fid you use to compile with? Make sure it is the newest.

Apktool. It decompiles and recompiles with no errors.

Edit the SystemUI_ZTE.apk?

Hi,
I want to edit the SystemUI_ZKE.apk, but when I use "APK Editor Pro" for instance the apk crashes after a reboot.
What would be the right way to do this? My goal is to delete the charging.ogg file that wakes my wife as I plugin a charger when I go to bed
Any other solution to *that* problem is welcome too.
I'm on a A2017G B06 btw.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

Edit: Sorry, wrong forum, should be posted in the Questions & Answers. @mods: please move it, thanks.

You need to use apktool on Windows or Linux instead: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/. You'll need Java already installed.
Your device also needs to be rooted and have TWRP recovery installed.
Put the apktool.jar and wrapper script in the system directory (C:\Windows on Windows)
Pull frameworks and SystemUI from your device with
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/framework-zte-res.apk
adb pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/SystemUI_ZTE.apk
Install frameworks to your computer:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if framework-zte-res.apk
Decompile SystemUI_ZTE.apk:
Code:
apktool d SystemUI_ZTE.apk
Make whatever changes you want to make then recompile with:
Code:
apktool b SystemUI_ZTE
Use signapk.jar to sign the apk then put the apk into a flashable zip and flash to your device in TWRP.
If you want to make changes to smali you'll need to pull the SystemUI_ZTE odex file and deodex the apk with oat2dex and then use 7-zip or WinRAR to paste the classes.dex file into the apk before decompiling.

Gr8 tutorial. I'll try that tomorrow, hope I get it fixed. Thank you!

Hi,
*
Earlier I tried with APK Editor Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.heagoo.apkeditor.pro)
What happened was (after replacing the SystemUI_ZTE.apk with the modified APK) after a reboot the system booted with parts of the UI nog working. Navigationkeys didn't work except for the home button, and I had no status bar at all. After rebooting again it only showed my wallpaper, and no matter what I did it wouldn't show me anything else. So I had to restore.
*
Modifying the APK with the APKTool gave me the exact same result. Only thing i did differently as to bkores guide was I signed it using ZipSigner (but that never failed me before) and I just replaced the file using TWRP, instead of flashing it through an installer zip. But I can't imagine that being the problem?
*
Anyways, anybody able to modify the SystemUI_ZTE.apk? All I need is the B06 (A2017G) with a replaced charging.ogg (with only silence).*Any tips are welcome.
*
TIA,

Try copying META-INF folder from old apk to new apk. If that doesn't work try copying resources.arsc from new apk to old apk and flash the old apk. Don't sign

Can it have anything to do with the .odex file?
I'll try the meta-inf thingy and see if that works

Actually try this instead. I think the apk needs to be deodexed before it can be modified like you said.
Pull the odex file
Code:
adb pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/oat/arm64/SystemUI.odex
Get smali folder from the odex file with oat2dex.jar here: https://github.com/testwhat/SmaliEx/releases/tag/snapshot
Open command window in directory of odex file
Code:
java -jar oat2dex.jar smali SystemUI.odex
Decompile the apk and then copy and paste the smali folder into the directory of the decompiled apk.
Make your charging.ogg change and then recompile the apk. Copy and paste the META-INF from original apk to new apk.
Push apk to your device and delete the "oat" folder in the SystemUI_ZTE folder on your device.

Hi,
Thank you for your support so far, but that didn't work out eighter....

Assuming you made a typo (since there is no SystemUI.odex) I used this instead:

After the oat2dex command I don't have a smali folder, just 5434 smali files scattered over serveral folders, so I don't know how to proceed from there.

Well then create a folder called smali in the directory of decompiled apk and paste the folders into smali

Can someone help me, i want to change framework.jar but there is no classes.dex in jar nor framework.odex in /system/framework/oat/arm64 (also arm). Because of it i can't decompile it with smali/baksmali tool. I want to change volume steps in AudioService exactly what VolumeSteps+ do but without Xposed. Any help? I'm on Nougat B10 Rom.

I solved a problem, AudioService is not in framework.jar anymore, it's on services.jar. Check my post on your mentioned thread.
