[Q] Sense Multitasking Recents Mod for CM10.1

Hello everyone! I beleive this is the correct forum, so let me begin.
My brother recently got an HTC Droid DNA. Ok phone, laggy in some aspects that it should not be, but overall pretty cool. I have fallen in love with Sense Multitasking. I love the sleek look of it, and the reflection at the bottom.
My question is:
Is there any way to get the Sense Multitasking Recents for the Nexus 4?​
I understand certain files would need to be edited and decompiled, and I would be up for doing this. A flashable mod would be preferable, but I have been unable to find one that works. I have however found these two mods, which do exactly what I'm looking for, but for other phones.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245793
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227191
I have found guides, but most of those guides are for CM9/10 ROMS, and they do not work for CM10.1 for whatever reason.

Any help on the matter would be much appreciated!
Many thanks for your time,

So, in a way I'm bumping this. By digging deeper through the interwebz, I managed to find this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188545
I've made all the edits, and am trying to recompile SystemUI.apk, but apparently something isn't working in the framework-res.apk\res\values\public.xml
Here's the error that I receive in CMD prompt (yes, I am using Windows):

So yeah. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :l Any help would be gladly appreciated!
Connor Baker

Found what might be the problem (or one of them...):
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=424
The path appears to be invalid, "C:\Users\Connor Baker\Downloads\apktool1.5.2\framework-res\res/drawable-land-xhdpi". The backslash should be a forward slash. How would I fix this?
Connor Baker
Totally lost and way out my league.

Alright. So, because I really would like to have the Sense multitasking screen, I decided to re-install Ubuntu, in an attempt to see if a different OS fixed the problems I was having. Unfortunately, it didn't. So for whatever reason, I have decided to use the java version of the command.
I did find something interesting though.
When I run the java version of the command:
Code:

I get quite a few errors. But what made me wonder is when I do the same command, except with the flag for aapt (-a), I not only get fewer errors, but a different "Caused by"

I am now thoroughly, and utterly lost as to what to do. Again, any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated.
Many thanks for your time and patience,
Connor Baker
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that I do Google a bunch of my errors and try to be as proactive as possible about solving my problems. I notice that a lot of people are getting the same errors that I am, and that different things will fix it.
I think it could be as simple as apktool not working correctly for me.
So, here's a list of things I have and have not done:
I did install Java (JRE, and JDK)
I did set up the Android SDK (Ubuntu)
I do have working adb (Ubuntu)
I did try to use a variety of programs to get the decompiled and editied .apk's to compile back
I did notice that if I decompiled framework-res.apk, and then tried to recompile it without editing it, I still got the same errors. I'm getting the creepy feeling that it may just be apktool. The latest version that I found was made back on the 2nd of February.
I did try Chainfire's fappt (fast aapt), and recieved the same results as the normal aapt.
I did switch out the aapt from the apktools package with the one in the Android SDK.
I DID NOT mess with any environmental varibales in Windows
I DID NOT add anything to my PATH file/directory "thingy" in Ubuntu
NEW: I have NOT edited SystemUI's public.xml, which may be causing some issues.
Thanks again,
Connor Baker

Pretty sure you need a sense port some guy says he got it booting just wait a while

I would like that and I am following development closely, but right now in the short term (and possibly for the long term as well), I really want to get the Sense Recents Menu look... I find it quite sexy.
Thanks for reminding me about the port though

The fact that this mod works on devices without sense would say otherwise.

I know there is a sense recent-apps mod for Xperia Arc S, also windows phone and more, cause I had an xperia arc s... What I mean is sense recent-apps could be ported

Actually this feature of sense recents was present for the galaxy nexus and worked on aosp roms. It was even included in aokp but it was eventually removed.
Sense port isn't necessary.

Oh. My. God.
I think I figured it out. I decided to use a different PC (my Dad's), and got the same error. I then read through it as closely as possible. I found out that I couldn't compile because it was a path error. I hadn't specified the correct directory. I feel like an idiot
Well, now that it's fixed, I will try to build an compile and test it out

.method private updateThumbnail(Lcom/android/systemui/recent/RecentsPanelView$ViewHolder;Landroid/graphics/Bitmap;ZZ)V
-
-
-
DELETE UNTIL .end method
-
-
-
.end method"
Does that mean that from that line onwards (line 861-2081 beleive), until the very end of the page, I just delete the 1000+ lines of code? Or do I stop at the first .end method that comes up after the desired line (.method private updateThumbnail(Lcom/android/systemui/recent/RecentsPanelView$ViewHolder;Landroid/graphics/Bitmap;ZZ)V)?
By the way, thank you a ton for your help! I'm really eager to get this working!

not until the very end line of the smali you delete it,
only on that .method..
and each method on the smali has their own .end method
or if you still dont undesrtand just upload me your RecentPanelView.smali , I'll edit it for you

I'm getting this error now for the status_bar_recent_panel in both res\layout and res\layout-land. The only thing I can think of that would cause this problem is a typo or me not copying and pasting correctly into the .xml file.
Also, I attached the files that I thought you'd need if you wanted to take a look at the problem.

Wow. I didn't scroll all the way to the bottom and pasted it in the wrong place. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Ok. I'm getting stuck on the boot logo, but that's progress.
Both .apks succesfully compiled, but here's the thing: I compiled them using CMD pompt, not apk multi tool. So, I'm not sure if I need to compile the .apks in a certain way, and that's why this is happening, or if something is else going wrong :l
Uploaded the .apks that I compiled.

My question is, you are having bootlop or systemUI closes ?
if bootlop , means something wrong with your framework-res.apk, try not to edit framework-res.apk yet,. just use your stok CM10.1 framework-res.apk.
but if you having systemui closes means something from with your editing the systemUI.apk

I was finally able to get it to work. Replace the photo_selector_view_popup.xml in the layouts folder with the one that I have attached here then recompile SecContacts as usual. Then use 7zip to copy the manifest.mf from the original SecContacts to the one you just created and you should be good to go. By doing this I was able to recompile and install my themed SecContacts and everything is working as usual.

Some help pls!

Hi @tterb1980,
I replaced with the attached file of yours, and it did recompile. Then I used the manifest.mf from old contact apk to my new one (used store option in winrar). Then I placed the new apk (with manifest.mf of old one) to system/priv-app, but it's not showing in app drawer.
What wrong do you think I'm doing. Do I need to use the resources.arsc file, too, of old apk?

SystemUI.apk from your Rom
Notepad++ or another text editor of your choice
apktool
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok now we can start
First decompile Systemui.apk with this comand
Code:
apktool d systemui.apk
Navigate to systemui/res/values/bools and open it with Notepad++ and change this line:
from
PHP:
<bool name="doze_display_state_supported">false</bool>
<bool name="doze_pulse_on_pick_up">false</bool>
to
PHP:
<bool name="doze_display_state_supported">true</bool>
<bool name="doze_pulse_on_pick_up">true</bool>
Save and ricompile systemui with this comand:
Code:
apktool b systemui
Now start to mod framework-res.apk
Decompile framework-res.apk with apktool with this comand:
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
Navigate to framework-res/res/values/string and open it with notepad++ and change this line:
from
PHP:
<string name="config_dozeComponent"></string>
to
PHP:
<string name="config_dozeComponent">com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.doze.DozeService</string>
Save and close.....
Now in the same folder open bool.xml and with notepad++ and mod this line:
from
PHP:
<bool name="config_dozeAfterScreenOff">false</bool>
<bool name="config_powerDecoupleInteractiveModeFromDisplay">false</bool>
to
PHP:
<bool name="config_dozeAfterScreenOff">true</bool>
<bool name="config_powerDecoupleInteractiveModeFromDisplay">true</bool>
Save it and close....
Now in the same folder open Interger.xml with notepad++ andmod this line:
from
PHP:
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessDoze">1</integer>
to
PHP:
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessDoze">17</integer>
Now recompile with this comand:
Code:
apktool b framework-res.apk
That's it!!! Enjoy with your new mod
NB... Remember to insert original Signature after recompile APK,you can find in original folder on apktool​
In attachment file there is my apktool if you need

Delete folder values-watch

Please don't take me the wrong way, you have done a very good job of it but, won't ambient display keep the screen on? Ergo meaning more battery drainage? The reason ambient display is on AMOLED screens are because of the pixel independent display, but LCD is plain old ON/OFF.

Got it edited and compiled, but now it won't boot up... Any ideas?

Anyone get it to boot? I was able to build but it gets stuck at the boot animations.

Thanks a lot for the guide but it would be really appreciated if we could have a precompiled flashable zip of LRX210 stock version for direct flashing !! It would work pretty well !!

Error decompiling APK

I am trying to decompile an LG app that is called LgNfc.apk, as the name says it's for the NFC control.. I want to hide the N icon when NFC is on, so I need to decompile this APK.
It is dependand from another APK that is called com.lge.apk so I did link to use that APK when decompiling (apktool if com.lge.apk)
The APK will decompile but the real problem is that it gives me a warning message, so if I decompile and try to recompile again (without touching the code) it gives me an error, so recompilation can't be done.
Here is what I get:
C:\Users\Feche\Desktop\apktool>apktool d nfc.apk

Oops I did it last night, it was late and I didn't check if the framework was installed, indeed was that, thank you!
The only problem is that if I decompile and recompile again without touching the code, I get no errors but NFC won't start (it doesn't work), any ideas? I tried signing the APK but no success

Use Apktool on Z1c

Official download here - http://www.coolapk.com/apk/per.pqy.apktool However, latest version is 6.1, and hasn't worked well for me with stock rom. 6.0.5 works perfectly - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1niPALD2vPeNmh6bVRjOU1mZ0k/view?usp=drivesdk
Steps (stock Sony 5.1):
- Download and install
- Make a folder in /sdcard called apktool, (or something), and copy 3 system app files there - framework-res.apk, Semcgenericuxp, (or whatever it's called... it's in framework folder).apk, and SystemUI.apk.
- Open apktool, navigate to apktool folder, and 1 by 1 tap on those 3 files and select 'import'. You should get success messages for each one. If not, don't bother going forward from here, it probably won't work. Framework-res will take a while. You can monitor status of import with 'task' option.
After that's done, you should be able to copy any apk to that folder and decompile. Here's how -
- Tap on apk file and select 'decomplie'. In the next screen, check box for 'run as root', then tap 'decompile'. When done, if successful, you will get a new folder called '(name of app)-src', with all decompiled files.
- Use a file explorer and editor to make changes.
- Go back to apktool and long-press on src folder, and choose 'recompile', and 'run as root'. If successful, a new apk will be created called '(name of app)-src.apk.
This is your new apk, but it has to be signed. Here's how -
For system apps:
- Using a file explorer that can explore apk files, (I prefer Mixplorer), go into the new apk, and delete android_manifest.xml file. Then go into the original of the same apk file, and copy android_manifest.xml file and META-INF folder to the new apk. It's now signed and ready to use. Just copy it to the appropriate system folder, and rename and set permissions 644.
For user apps, (installed into /data):
- Use apktool app, and tap on new apk and select 'sign'. A couple of seconds later you should get a new new apk called '(name of app)-src-signed.apk, which you can install normally.

(Updated)

Its works now for decompilling and recompile?

Yes

Found a newer version here - http://onhax.net/apktool-for-android-v5-2-0-all-versions-is-here-latest - I guess with version 5.0+, you don't need /sdcard/apktool folder but all files are included in app. Anyway, it has more promising-seeming settings, but I still couldn't get a successful recompile so far. I wish I knew how to understand the errors. I bet someone could tweak the app file to get it to work on our phone...

Update - got success on KK. Installed Munjeni's .108 ROM, used latest apktool set settings - 'apktool version: 1.5; aapt version: 4.4; device has root: yes', copied /system/framework/framework-res.apk, /system/framework/semcgenericuxp.apk, and /system/priv-app/systemui/systemui.apk to /sdcard. Tap each framework file and select 'import as framework', then tap systemui apk and select 'decompile all'. When done, you have systemui_src folder for editing. I didn't edit anything, but just for test tapped systemui_src folder, and chose 'recompile', and got success, with new apk created. Signed, and moved to system, and works.
Now I'll keep working on lp. Interesting, here is latest output on recompile -
I: Using Apktool 2.0.0-07ea41-SNAPSHOT on SystemUI.apk
I: Loading resource table...
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...

Seems to be no errors, but no new apk is created. Any ideas?

apk is created in apktool\SystemUI\dist folder.
I tried 2.0.2 (with TMA) and it's working on 5.1.1.

Just a bump, in case anyone else is interested. Version 5.02 is working well with latest fw for modding 3rd party app, (see my recent posts here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929663&page=178#post64177685 Also, another user here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359240&page=12#post64180188 - seems to be getting success with system apps...

What are you trying to do,(decompile, recompile, which apk, etc). Also, if you wipe data on Apktool app, you delete a necessary file in /data/data, so you have to reinstall the app.

Bump - new version 6.0 released - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...ggrMAQ&usg=AFQjCNE1AnZq9tew_xjnR7hOPN295_PWhw
Version 6.0.6, (a user's mod - I haven't found a difference from 6.0.5) - https://yadi.sk/d/pwh1wHLXkU3qB

New version works for SystemUI on stock 5.1. Successfully nodded navbar XML and recompiled. Make sure to check 'aapt 5.1' option in popup box when recompiling.

How do I get the key for that version of the app?? Every other version is free but it tells me I need a key for 6.0/6.1 apktool. Also I'm having a recompile error with ApkTOOl 5.2 it is unable to execute the aapt files I guess. I've tried aaptnew aapt5.1 aapt4.4 and aapt5.0 none of them work. But decompiling does work. In order to get decompile to work though I had to go online and download IBotPeaches apktool_2.1.1.jar and replace apktool_2.0.0.jar with it to decompile. I'm on my Note 5 running the first release of Marshmallow.

Great. Let me know... For some reason 6.05 works better for me than 6.06 or 6.10.

Bump for op update...

Just found this - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686015
Uses apktool 2.2 jar, and no startup wait time, and twice as fast as other one...
