So much thanks man. This is exactly what I need. I am following the post.
hai @kermage.. Glad to see apk tool thread with up to date post from the maker..
but lil bit problem occuring to me..
how to operate this tool..
I cant even installing framework. It says error. Whereas "APK tools" folder have been moved to C:/Windows/ directory.. (Before I move it into windows dir, the launcher even continously says "APK files folder EMPTY, although obviously I have put some files there)
I've try the latest apktool 2.0.0 beta9
It works with apk that need multiple dependencies (in my case, Xperia SP FW .201, using framework-res.apk & semcgenericuxpres.apk)
it suceed to decompile. But I get an error "PathNotFound apktool.yml" while recompile..
thanks in advance

Extract the downloaded ZIP file anywhere you want.
Execute the Launcher.exe. (necessary files and folders will be installed automatically.)
Select a task by entering the option number. Play around.

You dont need to move any folders created by the APK Tools Launcher (APK Files, Logs, Projects, OUTPUT).
This is weird, the tool should list all .apk files found under "APK Files" folder. (even filename containing spaces or weird characters)

Try to install frameworks and decode again, then check if the apktool.yml file exist in "Projects" folder.
If NOT, then it is not SUCCESSFULLY decompiled and you should import all the needed frameworks.
Or is it already a modified/themed app?
If YES, you should try to decompile the stock app. It's almost impossible to work with already themed/modified app

OP, please delete this thread of worstenbrood's dap_r6.5. zip so XDA moderation does not have to do so. Even the main zip's MD5 matches dap_r6.5, not to mention this forum section is already diluted with sound mod after sound mod at this point.
Thread closed. Please review the forum rules, specifically rules 5 and 12.

Hi guys, i really love the 3Min battery Mod from @gharrington Tyvm bro. There is a lot of threads of how to make it yourself but i think most of them are not too detailed and cover everything. So since i use these instructions my self i thought of sharing them in case someone may benefit from it.
Preparation: :
1. Download the latest BatchApkTool .
2. Tools needed and how to extract System.img.
3. Recommended tools needed: Notepad ++, 7zip or Winrar
Instructions::
A.
1. Download the latest BatchApkTool unzip it and move the need files to their designated folders explained in the next step.
2. We need to get SystemUI folder and framework folder(Inside it Framework_res.apk and arm64 folder is needed) either from a System.img in that case use the guide in the preparation section on how to extract it or import them from your device using any file manager with root.
3. Put SystemUI folder in _priv-app folder, and framework folder in to _framework folder.
B.
Open BatchApkTool select your language make sure that all the settings match your rom, enter the following numbers for changes:
83. Smali(By default it's the latest "2.2 latest when writing this" so just check it in case)
84. Api level: ------------- select 23( for Marshmallow)
85. Apktool(By default it's the latest stable version "it was 2.2.0 when writing this" just make sure it is)
C.
1. Under Smali section select '01 Deodex all apks and jars'(In case your rom isn't deodexed yet if it is skip this step). If your rom is stock then your SystemUi.apk needs to be deodexed for this to work. (For Nexus 6p select Arm64 when asked)
2.Under Smali section select '02' to move the deodexed files to _Input_Apk folder.
*Make a backup of META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml after extracting them from the deodexed SystemUI.apk file using Winrar or 7zip.
3.Under ApkTool section select '1' to decompile Apks.
4. After that go to _Input_Apk folder and open the decompiled SystemUI folder, navigate to res/layout/system_icons.xml and open with notepad ++
5. Find:
Code:
android:layout_width="9.5dip"
and
Code:
android:layout_height="14.5dip"
Note: These values may not be an exact match, doesn't matter
Change both values to
Code:
android:layout_width="0.0dip"
and
Code:
android:layout_height="0.0dip"
6. Hit enter and directly underneath that line add the following:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.MinitBattery android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
7. Save your work and close notepad ++
8. You now need to navigate to smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy folder
** Download the latest Modfiles package(3MinitBatterySettings, MinitBatteryResources, 3 Smali files) needed from here or main website.
9. Copy the 3 smali files(files that end with .smali) into that policy folder.
10. Time to recompile the SystemUI.apk. Under ApkTool section select '3 recompile apks' in Batchapktool.
11. Once recompiling of SystemUI.apk is complete go to it in _OUT_APK you will find it there, open it with 7zip or Winrar and Don't Extract.
12. Delete META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from newly recompiled SystemUI.apk and replace them with the original backup we took in step C.2.
13. Download the 3MinitBattery_Template1.zip(will remove original SystemUi.apk and replace it) or 3Minit_Battery_Template2.zip(Will not remove the original SystemUi.apk and will leave it for you to remove it manually in case you want to back it up).
14. Use one of the template zips then open it don't extract it just open it with Winrar or 7zip and drop 3MinitBatterySettings, MinitBatteryResources that we got in step C.8 to their respective folders in the zip file. Drop the newly recompiled SystemUI.apk to SystemUI folder if you choose template 1 and if you choose template 2 put it in priv-app folder.
P.s: If you choose template 2 after flashing it go to system/priv-app/SystemUI folder in your device and with any file manger with root delete SystemUi.apk after you back it up to where ever you choose then reboot the device.
15. After this make a backup of your rom and flash the zip.
16. To use 3minBattery app open it and choose your customization then reboot you should see the changes after that. Good luck! :good:

Ty much appreciated. It has been a while since I created this thread since then I have stopped using this mod because it's kind of a headache to do it for every update add to that since Google already enabled the battery percentage inside the battery there was no need any more for the mod. Anyway it's still great to be able to change from time to time. Regarding the tutorial I am sorry to say I haven't tried to create a custom ROM so I can't help you much with that but I am sure there are a lot of tutorials but will require some time to search. Good luck with your project.
