[Q] XML Recompile to binary after editing. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I spent all day researching this and didn't get a clear answer so I figured I just bring it to you guys. What I'm trying to do is edit some of the battery xml files in the framework-res.apk. I tried using apktool to decompile the apk, edit the file and then recompile the apk, but I always get an error. Read some stuff on that sdk might do it, but I could never get it to run (wore out when I tried lol). So now I'm stuck. Spent all day writting the exstensive xml file but can't do anything with it. This is my new hurrdle in theming and would really appreciate some help from you great people
Thanks in advance.

Won't recompile if you don't add the images too - did you do that?

A lot of themes/rom frameworks won't recompile after decompiling them due to funky .9 pngs.
What I do is just take Stock KB1 (for instance) frameworks, and decompile/compile them with changes I made and just take the changes from the compiled one and add them to my working one. Did that make sense?
So. Decompile KB1, make changes, compile it back. Open it up, take your new files & put them in your framework you're working on.
The above method is a little trickier when dealing with things in the values folder, but you can still apply it with some logic
Let me know if you need me to clear anything up

Yeah, when I recompile I leave it all in the project folder in apktool. Select the xml I'm editing from there as well and save it there too.

No I get it. Use stock to let recompile the xml to binary. Pull it from there and then add it to the framework I actually want to change correct?

Still getting the same issue! Tried a deodexed KB5 framework and a stock from another phone I'm working on. Both won't recompile without an error! Grr!

See If you can de compile and re compile without making any changes at all to it.

you have to decompile the apk first. You have to use apktool to decompile it. It is a process. http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Once you decompile the apk.. you'll see the Values folder with the xml files.
follow the instructions from the above link. After installing the required tool files, install the framework file (there is instructions on how to do that in the link).. and then decompile the framework-res.apk file.
or use apk manager
Ok, I'll try that, I can pretty much only use my computer at work for internet so I'll have to do that when I get home. I have both of those on my computer already. Thanks.
More info here, but for a different phone.
Alright, so I've found and edited the file. But when I try to put back on the framework my phone won't boot. I've never really had good luck with these apk programs. I've tried it with and without signing. I've tried it with and without deleting the resources.arsc file. And I've tried adb pushing and trying it in a zip file. Anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Should I maybe use a different compression level? I'm out of ideas. Thanks.
BAMF roms have auto brightness tweaked.
Keep in mind though, it does have some side effects, such as slow to resume to correct brightness if you tap the screen when it dims, just before shutting off.

Yeah, your ROMs and and Perfect Storm ROMs is where I got the idea. I'm trying to learn about these things. I have my framework set up in a way that I really like it for now, on your Stripped ROM. I've been trying to get this thing set up exactly how I like it. For now I just want to adjust that and then figure out 1 or 2 other things, then I think I'm set. The only other thing I can think of right now is the text color in the pulldown menu.
Hey adrynalyne. I'm sorry for being an ass over on the GPS thread. Will you please come back.
I just have the stomach flue and I was wrong to be so dismissive. If you can help us, please come back. I'll answer all the questions you want to ask without being a smartass.
It looks like the app you recommended worked for some already, and if you know how to sort though a logcat for android, you are much better suited to help than anyone so far (including myself by far..)

Do not resign the apk. Instead copy the android manifest and META-INF folder from the original apk. Then push in adb.
That should work.

hmm, when you copied to folders did it ask to replace existing? I pulled that out of Gassadena I think, standby I'll post Glasstopia, see if that works
I tried ones from both Glassadena and Glasstopia. I am overwriting the old and have tried both of these twice. Last shot - I wiped Dalvik to see if that would make a differance. I also used root explorer and searched for all instances of MMS on my phone and didnt find anything hiding anywhere else Damn this MMS it is hard to work with!
Yeah i don't know what to tell you, never had that much trouble. This might eork might not, go into glassadena or glasstopia zip and see if there is a copy in data and one in system, if so maybe move both to your corresponding folder? long shot but at least then you'll know if you need a copy in both, because if it has one in both then you know you do too

nothing does not want to leave, I did what you suggested, I even re-inserted the default keyboard, replace the original META-INF folder, but nothing does not start, what can I do?
Also, when I install from the recovery tells me that Framework-res, fonts and the bootanimation is still UOT why?
I'm having a doubt, it is not starting because I deleted some apk like Pacman.apk?
You need to start simple...
Get the cyanogenmod and just remove what you don't want and add what you do want first...then flash and see if it boots, if it does not boot then you deleted something you should've kept
Once youve gotten rid of unwanted apps and added wanted apps then you can start theming...uot kitchen is really only good for battery mod...but cyanogenmod already has this built into the settings... so, just use apktool to decompile the apks you want themed and start theming them with a photo editor...I use gimp, its free and has lots of features
UOT is great for personal quick themes...but if your going to be releasing the theme or ROM then you really want to do it all your self...you'll feel like you accomplished more, and it really helps you get n understanding on how things fit together in a ROM
Just by looking at your op...it is quite obvious that your new to android development...that is why I say to start simple, what I said above is exactly how I started...I would just delete and add apps at first, then I moved onto theming...and slowly progressed...now I'm building ROMs from source
Also BTW, cyanogenmod is an aosp based ROM...so your ROM is also aosp based...and I don't think uot kitchen works with cyanogenmod anyways because of all its existing mods

[SOLVED] Issues editing SystemUI.apk with apktool

I've been having strange issues with SystemUI, first of all, I deodexed it, which worked fine. Then I tried using apktool to edit it, all I did was decompile it, the rebuild it. To keep signature I pulled the res folder and resources file from the built apk, and put them in the original (even though I didn't actually change anything, this was just a test). I attached a screen shot with the issue, the top bar in notification panel is green. Now remember I didn't actually change anything at this point. Now to further test, when I DO edit images or XML, the changes are recognized (I made the clock text bright red to test, and it worked).
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Usually when you rebuild you only need to pull the META-INF and AndroidManifest.. You should not need to pull your res folder..
But your issue.. Of being green.. Not sure man.. Images and backgrounds don't just change in their own..

Well, I actually figured it out, but I really wasn't changing anything, after decompiling SystemUI.apk I looked through the XML (not editing anything), and I found that the buttons associated with those "green boxes" were set to use list selector drawables from framework-res, which were in fact green, for some reason before decompiling it wasn't defaulting to those list selector drawables, but after decompiling it was, I have no idea why, it really doesn't make sense, but I really didn't edit anything.
And I'm not new to coding, I have HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, C++, C, and Python experience, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing
Anyways, I ended up just setting colors instead of those drawables for those buttons and it was fixed.

Hello sir,
U said to copy the Meta-Inf and Androidmanifest.xml only .. From the original apk to the built apk ... Do I have to copy it before compiling or after compiling ??

This also didn't work for me, do the opposite, pull res and resources from the "built" and put in the "original", after building. For some reason this is the only way that seems to work, otherwise it doesn't accept the signature.

Most likely it's not changing anything because that color code isn't used anywhere you can see right away, play with other color codes until you see something change. This just takes lots of trial and error.

When first starting out, when you want to know what changing a certain color code will do, make them dramatically noticeable colors like bright red, blue, green, etc, that way it's easy to tell when something changes.
