So I used APKTool to successfully decompile SystemUI as I wanted to make some small changes. (just some values for things like ambient display)
I then recompiled, signed, and zipaligned it and pushed it to the phone, changed the permissions to r-w-r-r and then replaced the existing SystemUI apk with it. However, it always boots to a black screen.
I also tried just recompiling and same results.
Does anyone know how to successfully recompile and replace SystemUI?

Ask @kenet. As I remember he did the center the clock in systemui.
He should guide you all the way into this imo :good:
Good luck!
Edit: I should try it like this: download his zip for centre the clock, replace systemui with yours, rezip and flash in twrp. Should work assuming you recompiled everything like it should, no? just give it a try.
you need the 3 frameworks installed.
framework-res.apk, framework-res-zpub.apk, framework-zte-res.apk
as they say it is better to use a zip. since deleting the ui the phone will turn black.

Oh, I only used framework-res and framework-zte-res. Thanks!
When I recompile System UI, do I also sign and zipalign it?
yes.
Wow. An actual useful q&a post! Are you sure you don't need help unlocking or flashing magisk?
Hey @kenet I have a different problem now.
So after recompiling, signing, and zipaligning the SystemUI I used a flashable zip like you suggested to replace the System UI. My phone boots now without a black screen, but there is no System UI which means no status bar and recents. The permissions on the apk file are correct (644). Can you tell me what I did wrong?

As to what you (@lafester) say: I think someone has to make an index thread with the first 3 posts referring to the U, G, and chinese, with separate info on what stuff to use for each. Everything would've been much easier if they made 3 different sections for each, like on many other phones (although on other phones the variants have different names, like 'titan' for Moto g 2 without 4G, and 'thea' for the one with 4G)

I use APK Tool 2.3.0. What I do is recompile, then zipalign, push it to /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE and finally chmod 0644. As far as I know this is all correct, but my phone still either boots without a system UI or a black screen.
@kenet can you please tell me step by step exactly everything you do? I would really appreciate it.
The modifications I want to make:
-Ambient Display
-AOSP Wi-Fi and data indicators
-Black quicksettings
-AOSP Power menu with reboot bootloader and recovery options
-Remove NFC and Carrier label from status bar
-Remove recents clear all toast
-Double tap lockscreen to sleep
-Double tap power button for camera
-Clock centered in the status bar.
Yes it's a lot but this for a ROM I'm making.
There are many modifications, you have to look one by one and go installing.
Gives you error with any modification?
What is it? aosp or sock?

Stock. I tired just enabling ambient display in books.xml before making any other modifications.
It is possible that the ambient display does not go well in mifavor.
Let me look at him and tell him to see if the same thing happens to you.
I think the framework-res.apk must also edit the bools.xml
I feel my bad English.

I checked framework-res.apk and Settings.apk and ambient display is already enabled. It's only disabled in the SystemUI bools.xml
These are the only two lines I changed in res/values/bools.xml:
doze_display_state_supported=false
doze_pulse_on_notifications=false
Could you please do these modifications and see if it works for you? Thanks.

I rename existing SystemUI_ZTE.apk to SystemUI_ZTE.apk.bak.
I push the new SystemUI_ZTE.apk to /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/
I do chmod 0644 on SystemUI_ZTE.apk.

I always put it in a zip. already gives the permissions automatically.
When renaming before giving permissions to the new ui. It sure breaks the interface.

So, as posted on the lenovo community forums, now that we have obtained root we can change the system bar icons (ie back, home, apps) back to stock by swapping out some png files.
I've successfully pulled the file and changed the files using winrar on my pc but the problem I have is putting the SystemUI.apk back into the /system/app folder where it belongs... it gives an error saying not enough free space for the move.
I'm not knowledgeable with adb to know how to use the commands to push and mount the system folder, so I've tried Root Explorer and ES File Manager both with the same problem.
In both File Managers I've had root access and mounted the folder as read/write. I also deleted a bunch of lenovo apps out of there that were much larger than the SystemUI.apk that I've been trying to replace so I don't know what else to do.
Any suggestions?
I've had similar strange problem and I only made some space by deleting so you can try to push Lenovo apps on data partitions that's several times bigger that system one.
We had managed to replace the stock status bar with the default honeycomb one on the K1:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13407-al...-120109-build/page__view__findpost__p__333904
**just realized that the link to the statusbar uses megaupload, will try to reupload later.
I just did this mod my tablet, no issue with the size at all.
Hey,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ICS would be significantly harder to implement at this point due to no drivers etc and you'd have to port everything essentially, right?

Does anyone have SystemUI.apk for 0075_US?
I'm trying to create my own theme modification of AsusSystemUI.apk
However, it cannot be used by a clean flash.
It will work if I install Asus stock rom (Zenfone 5 - 3.24.40.78), first boot, then replace with my file later.
I suspect it's because of apk signature. Where can I find platform key to sign it or any other tip to make it work?
==================
Problem Solved: By copy Androimanifest.xml and Meta-inf from Stock file to modified one.

Hey all.
I'm trying to modify my SystemUI.apk on stock Android 7.1.1 to remove the regular system clock and add the text clock, as well as hiding the VPN icon. On previous versions of Android, I simply used apktool to decompile the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk, made my necessary modifications to the res folder, and then recompiled with apktool.
However, I couldn't get that to work on Android 7.1.1, and I started following this guide: http://chromloop.com/2016/11/guide-how-to-port-pixel-navigation-bar-animation-to-your-phone/
Except I still can't get my modifications to work. When I follow the necessary steps and replace my SystemUI.apk, the statusbar and navigation bar are no longer rendered on my phone. And flashing back to stock SystemUI causes the phone to crash repeatedly with an error message of "SystemUI failed to start."
Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

You'll need to flash stock img, nothing else i tried worked. I was farting around with both files and systemui stopped working for me after as well. I was just trying to change the framework-res colors. But using the recompiled apk crashed the UI even after replacing it.

I can change them with zips provided here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-theme-nmf26f-various-framework-res-t3515739
But I want to do it myself at least so i understand how to modify systemui instead of using user provided zips
Same here, man, same here. Thanks.
I received a response from sharkie405 and I was able to fix my issue by simply adding the -c command to the end of the apktool build command. The "-c" preserves the signing of the original jar, which is necessary for validating the recompiled jar file.
So after I made the necessary modifications to my xml files, I did: java -jar apktool b SystemUI -c
Hey all my fellow T-Mobile users with T-Mobile branded Note 8's ! I'm writing up this guide for folks who (post root) want to "Un-Carrier" their Note 8.
This guide aims to be relatively Noob friendly, it is also hands on....teach a person to fish.....OK that said set aside a little time and follow along.
Note (no pun) ....you will need a root explorer app (I use Root Explorer)
Here we go:
Removing T-Mobile boot screen banner:
We'll use the "stock image" So navigate with your root explorer to /system/media and
copy the files "bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg"
Then navigate to /system/omc/TMB/res/media and paste (overwrite) the files in there. Done ......Reboot now to see change or move on to other
changes and reboot later.
Removing T-Mobile boot jingle
I've uploaded a "silent" boot jingle....totally silent. For this guide we'll assume you choose this file. Download and copy the PowerOn.ogg to a
location easy to find on phone. Then navigate with your root explorer app to the file you downloaded. Next copy the file then navigate
to /system/omc/res/media/audio/ui and paste/overwrite the file there. Done Enjoy silent boot.
Caller ID and Spam Protection
Using your root explorer Navigate to /system/omc/TMB and find the file "cscfeature.xml" and back it up (can just rename to cscfeature.xml.bak).
Then copy the file cscfeature.xml from this post to that same location and then set the permissions for the file (Long press file tile highlit, then
press 3 dots top right and select permissions) (this is the method in the Root Explorer app to bring up permissions menu) set permissions to 0644 followed by a reboot
and Done, go to phone app press 3 dots top right, go to settings and toggle on the "Caller ID and spam protection" switch. And/or Call Recording

Device Information on Notification pulldown and Lockscreen (Colors)
POST UPDATED 11/28/2017
WARNING: THIS SYSTEMUI.APK WAS MADE FOR/ON SAMFAIL VS.1 (DEODEXED)
I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT IT WORKS WITH SAMFAIL VS2.5 (DEODEXED)
This mod will add device information to your phone.
To add this mod we will need to "replace" your SystemUI.apk. So first step (recommended/optional) Backup your current SystemUI.apk, to do that we'll (using root explorer) navigate to /system/priv-app/ scroll down to folder named SystemUI and in there we are going to copy the (current) SystemUI.apk and paste it to you external or internal sdcard root directory (for easy locating) in case you have to adb push it back etc.
Now that we're backed up let's get to it! The zip file posted is NOT flashable, download and unzip it to phone or pc select your color provided here and copy the SystemUI.apk from the color choice folder (with root explorer) to /system/priv-app/ (At This Point copy it into the "root" of priv-app not into the SystemUI folder just yet0........once you have pasted it scroll down to the file (will be right below the folder of the same name) long press the SystemUI.apk and select "permissions" from the 3 dot menu (top right corner) and set permissions to 0644. Once permissions are set correctly long press the apk again and this time select "Cut" (scissor icon) and now move it into the Folder "SystemUI" overwriting the original file. After that just reboot and enjoy.
****Note at this time on lockscreen when screen wakes you'll see device info at bottom, and a second later the lock icon and unlock dialogue text will appear, haven't fixed that yet so work in progress. Also in notification panel 1st down swipe shows carrier branding among the device info (squeezed between lines) 2nd stage swipe down of notification panel re-hides carrier label.

Btw This 'Root' is Root, not Bootloader Unlock/Recovery unlock, so if like me you enjoy root access to make those small custom changes including Viper, Adaway, SPAM call protection etc then you may want to consider SamFail Root as I did[/SIZE]

First, a couple of my thoughts on this Very Welcome Root (Thanks SamFail Team Members/Contributers)
The 80% Battery Charge Limit...................This varies, meaning factually if you power off your device and then boot to download mode and keep it there (while plugged in) your rooted Note 8 will continue to charge (slower than fast charge though). I did this last night and started the day with 100% battery. Of course that is not optimal, however it is there and can be done.
Removing T-Mobile boot screen banner:
We'll use the "stock image" So navigate with your root explorer to /system/media and
copy the files "bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg"
Then navigate to /system/omc/TMB/res/media and paste (overwrite) the files in there. Done ......Reboot now to see change or move on to other

Identify SPAM CallsSpent all day figuring this one out !!!
Using your root explorer Navigate to /system/omc/TMB and find the file "cscfeature.xml" and back it up (can just rename to cscfeature.xml.bak).
Then copy the file cscfeature.xml from this post to that same location and then set the permissions for the file (Long press file tile highlit, then

Install flashfire then open app select Flash Zip option.....navigate to the zip file and load it, then check the system rw option then press flash and sit back...it will power off phone, load flashfire, flash file then reboot...takes about 2 minutes.
Once it boots it's all set.

Ok so works out of speaker but not through Bluetooth or headphones...any ideas?
Don't forget to also flash deep buffer removal zip. That will let 3rd party apps like google music and spotify use Viper.

Baller this method does work for Verizon. Just replace the csfeatures in the VZW folder not tmb for Verizon. Thank you so much everyone!

This also brings back Samsung cloud to my Verizon variant. It also brings the Samsung diagnostics to my variant. As a side note, my phone was bought directly from verizon, but I flashed it with the unlocked firmware I then rooted with the new method with no csc. Thanks everyone for getting this to work, I'd bet this works for every US carrier. Do you mind if I post this in the Verizon Note 8 Thread?

Lou does call recording work for you? I can't get mine to actually record? Everything else works as advertised, thank you for this everyone. It's ****ed how the US carriers strip these features out.

Hi all...
as I'm writing this, my MPM1 is on Stock ROM v334, rooted.
I notice that since few previous fw version at least, or maybe even since the first time the first MPM1 was out for sale, the sounds of the screen being locked and unlocked are still the same.
Is there a way to change them?
I mean it's not available now, and I know that this might be not easy either,..but since there are many experts on this xda forum, I wish that perhaps somebody could make a way/mod to do that?
That's all.
Apologize for my question that maybe is too noob.
Thank you verymuch.
I dont know exactly how to change the lock sounds but there is/should-be a way.
As your device stock-rooted, you can install Gravity box, so you can get wide range of customizations.

GravityBox requires xposed! ?
---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------
For the OP -
There are magisk modules like 1. Twilight core, Pixel 2 audio and boot animation.
which can help you such kinda stuff systemlessly, so less of a hassle and more options to choose from.
Another way is -
Using any root enabled file explorer, all you have to do is go to /system/media/audio/ui
Copy the whole folder as a backup first and then specifically for your lock sound; either you can add lock.ogg & unlock.ogg
or replace them with any sound that you want
in the same .ogg format.
For lock and unlock.
Also first try copying into that by adding rather than replacing and see if you can change those sounds after a reboot.
Of it that doesn't work, then replace those files and reboot.
Similarly you can also add various other sounds in system/media/audio as per your needs for custom notifications, alarms etc.
Edit - the 2nd way would modify /system partition which might trip safetynet.

1. Do you mean "MidnightCore - twilight edition" module on magisk?
I tried to install that from magisk, but after install, reboot, nothing. Should be a new app icon on the homescreen, right?
But nothing. no icon. no nothing. Only on magisk it said that it has been installed, but nothing... seems like I did nothing.
So I uninstall the module from Magisk.
2. Then I tried the other method.
Using Root explorer I copy paste two .ogg sound files (renamed as lock.ogg and unlock.ogg) into that said folder after I renamed the original files. Then I changed the new files permissions into r-w-r-r (like the original files permission set). Then I rebooted the phone. Nothing hapenned. No Lock nor Unlock sound as I intended to. Infact I accidentally deleted and lost my two original files (the Asus' original lock.ogg and unlock.ogg files)...Would you send me that 2 original files please? I'll be really appreciate it.
Well I'd like to change them but if I failed, I prefer them than to have no sounds like now
3. Last try, I installed the XposedInstaller 3.1.5 apk in intention to try Gravity Box app module like Jaheen said above.
But then when I tried to install the Xposed framework, it said waiting for download...forever....so I lose my patient then I uninstalled the Xposed too.
Full of failed me this time

1. You have to use terminal commands.
Go to their support thread.
Link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-midnightcore-one-midnight-modules-t3762758
Download terminal app from playstore.
2. So umm.. I don't know why the new sounds don't work. Were they already in .ogg format?
I haven't done anything like changing the UI sounds so not sure, just added some sounds in ringtone and stuff. Sorry?. But mostly it's the same process.
3. You aren't able to download xposed framework from magisk??
Anyways don't bother because gravitybox can't change the lockscreen sounds.

1. I did check the thread. But I don't understand the thread Original post. The guide there is too few for a noob like me.
2. already ogg. I convert it from mp3 to ogg on online convert service by audio.online-convert.com probably their convert method is not good for task like this (?) I don't know. Will try it again more carefully with my pc and more proper convert software later when I'm home and see what the result will become.
3. okay I don't really have a good feeling using xposed either. it's good if I can avoid it.
anyway thank you for the replies and files. the 2 original sounds work again as usual now with files from you.
will report back here later.
