Hi everyone,
I'm trying desperately to edit some files inside SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but I'm having some troubles...
I wanted to post in the specific thread of the program : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310151 but I'm not allowed to, because it's my first post here.
First I used only apktool, I managed to decompile my 2 files with no problems, I replaced a few *.png files and tried to recompile it but I'm getting errors... (I only manage to recompile the files if I don't edit a thing)
Then I tried APK Multi Tool, I achieved to decompile my 2 files (with the option 9 in the program), but I can't recompile them after editing my files. So I decided to make a test, I tried to decompile and recompile (I hit 9 then 11 in the choice case) them WITHOUT changing a thing and I get errors anyway...
If I use the choice 1 (only extract the apk), do my editing and then zip the project (with the choice 3), directories are wrong inside the new *.apk, I get "projects\SystemUI.apk\(res or smali, etc...)" so the *.apk result is not usable
Here is the log file when I try to recompile WITHOUT changes :
Code:

I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.

Thanks in advance if you can help me
I managed to recompile my edited files with apktool by placing classes.dex and resources.arsc in the folder oh the extracted archives.
I signed my SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with signapk.jar but my ROM still won't boot...
I'm getting the same error
I've emailed the dev. Will let you know if I get a response.
Can you try removing the spaces in the folder name ? "APK Multi Tool" ?
My Windows user name has spaces in it, I was just wondering if that could be an issue.
Just a hunch since spaces can sometimes cause problems.
Let me know if that works !
---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------
Well ignore my previous post. I created a new user and tried to compile. Still getting the same error
Funny, i'm having the EXACT same thing happen to me.
I used to use linux and I know that when I was originally installing it(on linux) it wouldn't run without a file called "aapt". I had to download and insert the file with the others in a specific area.
Unfortunately I had to wipe linux and reinstall win7 for school purposes. So now here I am trying to test everything on windows, which is a blur to me since I haven't used it in so long.
In the error log we are getting, it's mentioning something about "aapt", and when I go searching for it in the APK-multi tool folders, it's nowhere to be found. This file may be what's causing the issue of de/recompiling.
EDIT: I figured it out, well kinda. I uninstalled version 1.0.2, and downloaded and installed version 1.0.0 of apk multi tool from his website. Tested again and this time everything went ok. there must be some sort of bug in the newest one.
Try this, it will work
Place apk in modding folder
Hit #1to extract apk
go to project folder and make your mods
now hit #3 to zip apk
then hit #1 to retain system signature for system files (system.ui, framework.res etc...)
go into modding folder and get the new unsigned apk and rename it to what it was before
place in sd card or use adb to push to where ever it needs to go
this works everytime for me, never had problems hope this helps
that works for editing images only...but I want to edit some .xml files, and when I extract I don't get them
thats where we need decompile/compile
Im getting this same issue..
I have the same issue every apk creates with a project/*.*.apk
Anyone fix it?
Ok so dropped back to version 1.0.1 and it works
when I hit option 3 in 1.0.1 I see
compressing res\
But in version 1.0.2 I see
compressing project\FILESNAME.apk\res\
Hope that helps
Test This

Andersondj, thanks for your reply.

See point 1, spaces in paths have given me issues before and spent ages trying everything before finally realizing it's how I'd named the folder. If that doesn't work, assuming you've installed all the necessary resource apks I'm not sure what to suggest. apktool never gave me issues [user=4315551]@Ticklefish[/user]?
[QUOTE="raziel23x, post: 18558251, member: 2968938"][B][COLOR=Red]Got problems ?[/COLOR][/B]
[B]1. [COLOR="Red"]Make sure your path has no spaces[/COLOR]
2. Your filename has no wierd characters
3. Java/adb are in your path
4. It's not a proprietary rom's apk (aka Sense,Motorola,Samsung) (If u are, then use option 11 and drag the required framework, eg com.htc.resources, twframework-res...etc)
5. It's not a themed apk (if it is, expect .9 png errors, use as close to stock as possible)
6. Look at the log to know whats happening
7. If all else fails, post as much info as possible and we will try to assist you.[/B]

i tried recompiling the Home.apk, in the same condition i decompiled it, but it gives an error,
i installed
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk and framework-res.apk and it succesfully decompiled.
also: i tried an older version of apktool , 1.4.1 which was succesfull with some samsung phones in other threads but no success with that either
i also tried copying the latest aapt from the sdk to the apktool installation, nothing.
so if anyone has had success recompiling sony ICS apks, then help..

Seems like you have made a mistake while editing a .xml file, as it is unable to compile the file(xml files are compiled to a bit different language).

update your sdk to latest version, then copy aapt.exe from platform-tools to apktool directory, that was the fix i had found on the apktool bugtracker.
edit:you have to install frameworks again after replacing aapt

a lot of people including me are waiting for the next version of apktool just because of the errors that are met when recompiling ICS apks..
it does not accept some parts of a lot of xml files, so many need to be changed just to recompile the file, many files excluding the actual modifications we need to do..
well i am no expert at this, so i may be wrong, but my experience in trying to recompile leads me to conclude that i should wait for the next version

Hi, I want modify the number of deskop on my Ray ...
In the Home.apk, this line in the R$integer.smali file :
".field public static final number_of_desktop_panes:I = 0x7f09000a"
But I don't understand this integer format ? and How can I modify this ?? (and it's possible ?)
Or another way to modify the number of desktop ??
Thanks for your dev answers !
u have to unpack Home.apk via APK tool, then find in res/values/integers.xml.
there u will see Number of desktop panes=5 , Modify to whichever number u like...
Then repack, re-sign, zipalign apk..

It clearly states the error that when u open styles.xml there is something that u added or modified in 4th line(styles.xml:4: ) that has no resources added in public.xml and strings.xml..
Dont add new things or dont rename anything in xmls coz then u have to change it in public.xml and strings.xml and if its linked to more xmls..
For newbies, u should only change values like numbers in dimens.xml and integers.xml.. dont rename files..

sorry doctor, but i dont think so. i really just decompiled Home.apk (installing framework before ofcourse) and directly recompiled it again without even open Home folder to see integer.xml and friends.
i've tried in myfriend's pc (also windows) and the screen also told me the same error. but when i tried to modify another app, it just finished like a charm.

I don't do a CWM update.zip but you can replace in /system/app your home.apk with my home.apk via es explorer (right rw-r-r)
Empty all your deskop before replace... and you must use this mod : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1534903 (ICS final)

Great work... I have one simple request. There is litlle bug wit this mod because we can't add , for example photo/gallery widget because it is active on 4th desktop... 4th and 5th desktop are now hidden and you can swipe to them as they are active but hidden. Just suggestion to completeley remove them if it is possible of course
Hi there,
I have a major gripe with the S III, the menu and back keys being far to easy to knock, so I am trying to switch my CM9 Nightly to use Soft Keys.
I have managed to find and follow some information about decompling the framework-res.apk and editing the boolean.xml file to enable the soft keys. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364757 but when i go to recompile it get this:

Does anyone know either how to fix this compile issue or enable the soft keys another way?
Thanks in advance
this actually took me several hours to figure out, but since you were so kind to post the guide to something I have wanted for a while I took the challenge.
You need to download the three files from step 1 in this post and copy them to a folder on your harddrive: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427959
Next, rename apktool1.4.2.31e6dc5.jar to apktool.jar
Then copy your framework-res.apk to the same place as the three other files.
Then open up a command prompt and type apktool if framework-res.apk.
Then decompile using apktool d framework-res.apk.
Now, do your edits inside the framework-res folder.
Then download apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2 from the same post (under rebuild). Extract it and replace the apktool.jar you copied earlier.
Now in the command prompt type apktool b framework-res.
Now go to framework-res\dist and rename the framework-res.apk to framework-res1.apk-zip. Then copy your old framework-res.apk to the same folder and add .zip as the file extension.
Now open up both (i'm using winrar) and delete res and resources.arc. Then extrack res and resources from your newly compiled framework-res1.apk.zip to th e old one.
Now, reboot to recovery and push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework-res.apk. Then chown it using chmod 0:0 framework-res.apk and set permissions chmod 644 framework-res.apk.
Hope you understood at least a bit of what I wrote I'm assuming you know how to use adb etc.
@op you could also upload your framework-res.apk file here and I could do the compiling for you
Thank you soo much! I didn't need to chown or chmod the file, just pushed it live and rebooted. Deleted the mapping for my touch buttons also. Only funny thing I had was all my accounts were removed?
Thanks again!

Like the compiler said, you didn't add lines in strings.xml, and the hex code you added was over, write hex in a way in continuation to the respective part in public.xml

1. You didn't add lines in strings.xml or manifest

3. You might have not installed framework files

do you mean this part where i set the codes wrongly?
Add these to the end of string names in public.xml (/res/values/public.xml)
I did copy whatever that was posted above. =\
EDIT: I saw some post saying it only require the android policy jar to work as you don't really have to mod the framework apk file. True or?

The android.policy.jar file that i posted is what i did using your tutorial, is there anything wrong i did in there that make it not work?
After trying your android.policy.jar mod I am getting the lockscreen settings but no lockscreen. And editing framework-res.apk gives bootloop, as you mentioned earlier it needs editing androidmanifest.xml, but afaik editing it changes the signature of the apk.
I am using a lot of mods (including hansip87's) and I want to incorporate this mod too.
And I dont want to flash the rom.
Any help will be appreciated
what about mod for GB
