Greetings XDA, Im new here and i need some help regarding apk multi tool.. Ive searched the forums but i couldnt find any suitable answers
So I am trying to decompile the framework-res.apk and edit the styles.xml in values folder .. but everytime i compile it back and push it to my sytem/framework, and restart my phone bootloops..
this happens even if i donot mod anything in the apk and just decompile - recompile - push..
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
You have to sign the APK after you decompile!
Follow This Page for more instructions on how to sign APK's.

This is wrong. Never sign a system framework file. You only sign user apps and a very small number of system apps.
What changes are you making? For what OS?

ohhk! It happened to me as well and someone told me its because I haven't signed the APK.
Anyways, Thanks for correcting me
Try by making compression level to 0 and heap size to 512
This solved my problem though.
Also be sure that u don't get any errors while compiling the apk.
Hit thanks if helped
I can't even get it to compile!

Ok not sure if this is the correct place to post so if its not op please move it.
Ok im trying to mod the launcher2.apk to remove default wallpapers and some homescreen widgets i have used apktool to decompile and i have removed wallpapers and widgets plus all references then i compile using apktool if i push the file to my system dir and reboot all works fine but the problem is if i add this new launcher2.apk to my custom oxygen rom then flash the phone boots up but launcher2.apk does not load im sure this is a sign problem. Does any one know how to solve this problem and what sign keys does the oxygen system apks use.
The reason im trying to do this is i dont use any default wallpapers and i can get the launcher2.apk from 4.68mb to less then 500kb i will share the apk after its done. Thanks in advance.
Did you try installing it as a normal app ?

If you recompiled the app, try resigning it.
With what ?i tryed sign it with testkeys and platform and still does the same thing.
Please delete.

I was under the impression that if you're going to make changes to an .apk file, you had to decompile the .apk and make your changes, then take the folders you changed and push it to the regular launcher2.apk instead of recompiling and using the recompiled .apk. Doing it that way keeps the original signature intact.
I could be completely wrong though, so I would appreciate it if someone could confirm or deny this.
Edit: Just realized this thread was from 2011... My bad.
U shud have just zipaligned and batch optimized lol

The parsing package problem has nothing to do with the apk being signed. There's a problem with the compression method or how the compilation of the app. If there was an issue with the signing of the apk then it would just say app not installed.

Did you make this theme from scratch, or did you base it off an already existing one? Try recompiling the apk again and see if that works.

made it from scratch..(downloaded from source)..so i imported the source into eclipse and compiled using that..now the theme installs but im getting (this theme was improperly compiled.please contact the themes author) error. i removed the preview.png from the drawable-hdpi folder and just kept the preview.png in the drawable folder..but its still giving me the same error..just cant figure out why??
also,i read somewhere that the API minlevel but either be removed or adjusted to the right level for the OS your using (10 for GB i assume) but i cant find anywhere in the manifest for the API level...i cant think of any other reason for this error.
thanks for the help also!
Hi
Sorry If I've posted in the wrong forum.
I'm new to Android.
I have a android apk which I installed on my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
I backed the app up so I could download the apk to my Windows PC.
I'd like to edit the .png files in it, I've followed a tutorial on here using the apktool, decompiled ok and recompiled it, but when I transfer it back to my phone to re install it I get a message saying the application cannot be installed.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You are most likely not signing the apk. Also some apks break when decompiled. This is something done by the developer on purpose

Copy it to /data/apps
Then go to the file properties and tick all the rwx permissions, then reboot.
That pretty "Thanks" button's waiting for U, in case I helped

No problem. I figured you would figure out how to sign it as there are hundreds of ways to do it and not all work for everyone.
Issue resolved. Thread Closed

Hmm seems weird.. It's like it needs certain framework to pull the correct public ids.. is this a system app? Or what rom did you get it from? If you pulled it from a rom..try installing that roms frameworks in apk tool. .then decompile it..
If not..pull a log and see what errors it's throwing at you when it fcs. .If you want post it here..and I'll see if I can help you at all

Looks like it is not installing correctly.. Also what Android version are you on? Does this app support it?
It is also requesting to write to internal storage which I know something in 4.4 have changed with that.
? Why are you decompiling it?

I would say the same thing, with a side note that while warnings are often dismissed because you can still compile and it MAY work, they are there for a reason. In this case, as far as I see, there are missing translations. It may or may not be pertinent, but it should be dismissed upon inspection, not upon realizing that "it compiles".
