Security Updates to SystemUI? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

When Google issues a new firmware security update to the same level of android (i.e. May update to 7.1.2), does that change the systemui.apk file? I ask because I now have the 3Minit battery mod to the May update, and I'm wondering if I make a backup copy of the systemui.apk file, if I can paste it over the June update and preserve the 3Minit settings or if the June systemui will have to be modded by the developer too? Thank you!

[NST/NSTG] Multilanguage and modified Settings.apk for 1.2 firmware

For NST/NSTG with 1.2 firmware​
Hi, new NTSG owener here
After reading this thread I've decided to make similar mod for 1.2 firmware.
NOTE: this was tested on rooted 1.2 firmware on NSTG but should work fine also on NST
Modifications in framework-res.apk:
-added languages: the same as in original mod
-replaced some images: by default not-localized ones had ugly "X" painted on top, now they look as for English locale
Modifications in Settings.apk:
-all languages are now visible in language picker ( <extra android:name="hideDevLanguages" android:value="false" /> in xml/settings_locale.xml) removed due to SetupWizard incompatibility (com.bn.oobe doesn't like this)
-added Development Options in main menu (changes in xml/settings_root.xml and xml/settings_root_gossamer.xml- first file is for NSTG, second for NST)
-locale picker is present in Development Options
-added Sync & Settings submenu
If you wish to play further with Settings.apk I can recommend this tutorial (it's for ICS but workflow is the same for Eclair).
Downloads:
All files are CWM flashable zips
NSTG-MULTI-1.2.x-flash.zip -modified framework-res.apk
NSTG-settings-accounts-1.2.x.zip -modified Settings.apk
RESTORE_FRAMEWORK.zip -restore stock framework-res.apk
stock-settings.zip -restore stock Settings.apk
Remember to make a full backup before flashing anything​
Updated Settings.apk- now Accounts & Sync is available
NST owners- please post feedback, I can't test modifications on your hardware.
EDIT:
Removed modded settings.apk due to SetupWizard incompatibility, testing alternate solutions
EDIT EDIT:
Modded Settings.apk back online.
BIG FAT WARNING
Settings.apk is deeply tied to other B&N system apps, Setup Wizard will fail with a modded one.
So if you want to use it keep original one around in case of data wipe
PERFECT! just what I wanted.. hey this DOES have Japanese on it right?

Languages were taken from 2.1 Samsung EU rom.
I've used Android Multitool
If you want to add language:
1.Grab a 2.1 rom which has your language onboard, decompile framework-res.apk,
-copy /res/values-[desired language code]/ folder which includes arrays.xml, plurals.xml and strings.xml
-copy /res/raw-[desired language code] folder
2. Decompile Nook's framework-res.apk
-put both previously extracted folders to /res
-copy any of existing /res/raw-XX to /res/raw-[desired language code] -this folder holds localized images
-compile apk
-there will be warning about missing strings in translation- dont' worry, system will use english ones
-copy AndroidManifest.xml file and /META-INF from original framework-res.apk to newly compiled one (apk is a zip)
3. Replace framework-res.apk in a flashable zip and flash it
I'd advise to wipe dalvik-cache after flashing (just in case)
And better don't use modded Settings.apk, language picker can be accessed in Nook Color Tools.
Sorry, I didn't find a way to make modded Settings work in SetupWizard (oobe.apk in reality)
EDIT:
And better check if fonts support japanese
ahead of that.. I just wanted it to recognize Japanese characters.. only had to add ttf files into the fonts folder.
(oddly the stock reader doesn't do that.. meh, I didn't like it to begin with.. I'm using AIreader) but thanks though : )
This looks great! Thanks, @gen_scheisskopf. Due to this mod's being created, I'm now working on my own modified Settings.apk.

I'd suggest to take a look at dependencies, AFAIR settings.apk depends on B&N apks (this is most likely why my modified apk only FC-ed when booting system after a wipe)

Check. I've got the beta version of my Settings.apk working famously on my NTG - here's the project thread.

Mod request

Hi,
May I ask you if someone can create a flashable zip that contains center clock and hide battery icon based on 6.12.401.4 firmware (stock rom)?
I know that this option could exist on xposed but I want to avoid this.
Thanks in advance

Group effort to get Theme Center running on Tab S2 & S3

I've also posted this in a thread of the Tab S3 forums, as the stock nougat rom for both is so similar.
Progress so far is that Galaxy Themes installs and runs, but won't download and apply the themes from the store. Next up I'd need to trawl though the logs and see if there are any clues. If anyone has some spare time and wants to help out, I've attached the needed files to this post. Put the Galaxy Themes and ThemeCenter folders in /system/priv-app (set permissions if needed) and change your devices model number to SM-G935F or another theme-supported device in build.prop then reboot.
Attached files are from a deodexed S7 rom.
Screenshots:
1. Themes now appears in settings
2. Theme store
3. Theme downloading
4. Install failed
Grand idea. But side loading themes only works with *root* access, aye?
This my results from from Marshmallow (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/themes-apps/theme-store-marshmallow-t3394157), im using same method in Nougat firmware, but the results was same. I think it because the Framework things (?) And, the themes itself does not support Tablet resolution (Maybe?) Because, in my results only partial theme aspect is installed (Fonts, wallpaper, etc) and, if you trying to install other theme aspect (ui colors, overlays, etc) manually from extracted theme assets file, you will get "Application Not Installed". Hope you can find a way out! ?

Some package(s) are missing, I'd say. Anyhow, if you are rooted you could simply edit the UI to alter colors etc.
I have managed to somehow apply a theme partially!? I can apply icons and wallpaper part of the latest olympic theme, like I said somehow and I used apk editor pro from playstore to edit and install apk's.
---------- Post added at 05:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------
Also managed to install my Note 8 theme store once and it had the new layout that included AOD with Icons Themes and Wallpapers. But it asked to update when I opened galaxy apps and after it updated it reverted to the same theme store you provided.
This is my Tab S2 sm-t815y.
How u got themes?
I had root and cut and paste Samsung theme.apk and Samsung Theme centre.apk into system privapp as well as changed the device ID to S8 using buildprop editor. Then rebooted and had theme store running but not completely.

To have full theme store work you need (the problem is SystemUI.apk)
• ThemeStore and ThemeCenter framework. (your tablet already have it,copy paste the 2 files ,framework support themes....you are ok)
• The new TouchWizHome Launcher from TW Marshmallow,Nougat (your tablet already have it ....you are ok)
• A modded S.7,8,9 SystemUI (You need a SystemUI.apk from Samsung S7 or S8,S9,Note 5,Note7 ported for your tablet ,your SystemUI.apk NOT support themes, )
• A modded build.prop to allow Theme Store to work (it's simple to change name ....you are ok)
Don't copy SystemUI.apk from other phone !! ..You will have bootloop

Nope.... the issue is entire system.... all apk has no support for themes.... it ts still all hardcoded in styles, so overlay theming will never work(well maybe for few items only), the only way is old theming;
that means de/recompile needed apks.... long story just for few and immense work...
Enjoy

No,l don't.All I know is wmservice opens up multiple other services just like "googleplay services" so it hogs ram and removing it doesn't cause boot loop.

EDIT:
No script for mild debloat?
- I just want to remove the apps I don't like, I saw the filenames within the updater-script, and edit them, i don't know what to remove because I don't know the app of those apk files (I know some of them though). Any help?
I remove the following lines from the script, which where these apk files (i think) are implemented within settings and the apps I like.
Applies to miui 9 v7.8.31 total debloat zip
Code:
delete("/system/app/CloudService.apk");
delete("/system/app/MiDrive.apk");
delete("/system/app/MiWallpaper.apk");
delete("/system/app/Notes.apk");
delete("/system/app/ThemeManager.apk");

You can edit the script as per your needs.
If you dont know apk ids you want to remove,you can do one thing.Use aroma fm in twrp and move apks(make sure to move,not delete) to a folder in your sdcard that could possibly be ones you want to remove.
If any thing goes wrong,like a boot loop or wong app removed.You can copy or move back the apk from your sdcard to /system/app or system/priv-app using aroma fm and giving right permissions(i,e 644).
Once you successfully removed all unwanted apks,you can update debloat script with the apk ids you have on your sdcard folder.

Debloat script will work,
If you want to flash 'Mod sound_thermal_sdcard_buildprop.zip',you need to remove "build.prop" from the zip file.
i,e open zip file--Delete build.prop using xpolre file manager
In this case all mods work except build.prop tweaks.
Or
Edit your rom build.prop(using xplore fm open rom.zip-->copy bulid.prop to sdcard--->copy #Added Tweaks found in build.prop file of 'Mod sound_thermal_sdcard_buildprop.zip'--->open build.prop on your sdcard with text editor--->pasted copied lines at the end.
Now with this new edited build.prop on sdcard replace biild.prop in 'Mod sound_thermal_sdcard_buildprop.zip' using xplore fm.
Now you can flash this zip with working build.prop tweaks too.
As far as I know, whetstone.apk is for RAM management. I read it somewhere about MIUI.
I uninstalled it, not because of this thread, and facing minor issues.
The issue particularly come from background music playing.
Some players with hi res capability often to crashing while playing in thr background, and need to restart the player to make work again.
It occur with: jet audio, neutron, and playerpro. The highest occurrences are with neutron.
no script working on global official 9.2.3 phone is not booting

If the default battery or offline batteries are good enough for you, this is as far as you need to go.
I've included a Battery changer zip down below (3minitbatterychanger.zip). Copy the battery pngs files you want from the authors below. Unzip the battery changer zip. Navigate to vrthemeb/data/app/base.apk/res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4 folder and replace the battery pngs that are there. Zip back up and flash.
