No ability to smali edit in Samsung TW Lollipop 5.1.1??

Hi everyone. I own the Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 carrier Virgin Mobile. I am attempting to decompile android.policy.jar to do some smali editing. And oddly enough a number of the general jars we all edit regularly to add mods such as reboot menu,etc. are pretty much empty files on my J3. The android.policy.jar file is only 309 bytes with nothing in it except a Meta INF folder with MANIFEST file in there but noting else at all. No classes.dex. Now I thought ok maybe its because I am not deodexed. So I looked in the arm folder in framework and there are indeed odex files in there but none for android.policy.jar nor other typical modded jars we tend to mod. Is this normal across the board for newer Samsung devices like the S6/7 models? Also when I decompile an apk like SystemUI.apk there are no smali files included with the decompiled apk. But the apk seems to decompile correctly and I can edit whats there just fine and recompile it and use it successfully. I just added a center clock mod to SystemUI in fact and it works fine. Just confused about what I am missing here. I seem to have all of my tools up to date for decompiling. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or give me some insight on these new changes. Thanks :)
