Seen a few custom ROMs around already, so got me interested.
How to deodex the framework files of our 4.1.B.0.431 firmware? I just tried some solutions, however these didn't work.
The /system/app folder is deodexed already, but framework not, so I am unable to edit the framework.

Check out odex solution by puppet? I did not test my self. As my internet bandwidth was over. Now it's up again, and I will try.
The odex solution by puppet worked on cm9 as reported by him. I will give it a try and report back. That is, in case some other person does not help you by then.
Thanks,

Dsixda's Kitchen also deodexes the files at the /framework folder, although when I tried it on the system dump from stock Active, then Wifi and USB weren't working.

I'm just throwing it out there because i had some similar problems lately, this is for me running win7
Use jdk 6, not 7 and and add system variable to path value and also create a new JAVA_HOME variable with path to the jdk\bin folder
Just thowing it outthere since it seems your error is generated from the runtime services

i wana know this tooo
If ur not changing anything in the BOOTCLASSPATH files, u can deodex a single file
-app for eg.-, edit it and put it into ur device without deodexing anything else, delete the existing odex file.
u'll need baksmali for that purpose-apktool donot have that feature btw-also u'v to have framework files available (just pull the entire framework directory from the phone) pass it's directory via the -d option. App depends on particular jar files will require that through -c option.

Deodexing is not my favorite stuff I do it for my personal use at times, I use my own set of scripts on linux with custom bootclasspaths.

I also wrote my own deodexing bash script with baksmali/smali/zip. The thing is, Those two APK request java libraries to deodex (java.awt.* and javax.swing.*). I could't find anywhere to get those dependencies from, So if you could share which boot classes you used for satisfying those requirements, it would be great.

I have found out how you do it, by checking my bash logs way back
Just use the -I ignore flag on the command, along with regular bootclasspath.
The errors are not an issue and the apps work fine.
Enjoy.

Can anyone please direct me to the correct tutorial(or similar) on how to modify framework-res.apk files of 2011 xperias like St15i,st18i, etc.. ????
I have been Here but it is for the earlier xperias. Does it apply to today's xperias also ???
decompile apk using apkmanager , edit files and zip.
install apkmanager first and you will get to know everything, no need for a tutorial.

I'm using Apk Multi tool, since Apk manager is no longer supporting.
My problem is that the system ui apk i have is from a custom rom(Hybrom v11) which has control panel in the notification area.
Now when i'm decompiling the system ui.apk i get an error in apk tool, an error too technical in the log for me to understand.
I get an error in Apk Manager 4.9 too probably the same as apk multi tool.
So if error occurs some part of the apk is not decompiled right ?
If it is not decompiled correctly how am i going to edit the xmls and recompile it ??
systemui.apk needa dependencies to be decompiled. check there will be an option of decompiling apk with with dependency. when it asks for dependency file, point it to framework-res.apk

Just now did that. But apk tool says that framw-res is not the dependent apk. So what is the solution ??
decompile it without dependency and post log here.

You could manually deodex the files using baksmali, I would recommend taking a look at this guide here for instructions on how to deodex the files.

Yes you should use the same api level for all the apps you want to deodex to avoid inconsistencies.
So should I deodex each app individally using this scheme
baksmali -a 15 -x APP.odex -d framework -o APP

where APP is name of app I want to deodex (app from system/app and from system/framewok)
Am I right?

Correct that is the syntax that should be used, you could technically make the output directory name whatever you want it to be put for simplicity and organization I recommend making it the same as the app you are deodexing (So if your deodexing calculator it would be best to make the output directory calculator as well to keeps things organized).
I've just run deodexing on dsixda kitchen and it seems working, I had to set API level to 10.
I have problem with spktool. I have newest release and the problem is that I can decompile every app but when I try to compile anything back, there is no apk file in folder and lot's of errors in console. I tried it manually and using terminall tools but every way doesn't work for compiling :/

and one thing I wanted a favour........
I wanted to change the rotation fix for your MIUI to back to its original state..... decompiled the framework-res.apk from the MIUI and changed the some values in framework-res/res/values/bools.xml and then recompiled it and when I replaced it with the default one I was getting the status bar of different width from the original..... it was almost double..... I also tried by just replacing some images just for test and the same thing happened........
Can you tell me whats the problem is????
Hey bro,
Even I was stuck with this issue for a while I think it was Spaun_Studio who found out how to fix this issue Its basically to do with apktool not bundling the required nxt drawables as needed Anyway, Here's the fix :
1) After decompiling, go to apktool.iml and delete the following lines :
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2

2) Go to res/values and open styles.xml. There, delete all references to sonyericcson.uxp:drawable (Delete the entire line)
Then, compile and it will work

Hi, I am hoping that one of the Android developers on here might be able to give me a bit of advice please regarding editting my 'framework.jar' file.
I have a Jiayu G3 phone running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but my caller ID is not functioning properly because it is not matching local & international numbers. Having done a lot of searching it appears that this is probably due to the parameters in the 'framework.jar' file as per this post on xdadevelopers here
I have succesfully decompiled the 'framework-res.apk' file using apktools and confirmed that the 'config_use_strict_phone_number_comparation' variable is set to false. However, I am having trouble decompiling the 'framework.jar' file.
I have copied the 'framework.jar' file from my phone and opened it in a Jave decompiler. However, all I am presented with is the following:
Code:
META-INF
MANIFEST.MF
preloaded-classes
(See attached image)
In the xda post it says the following:
II) Check for and fix MIN_MATCH constant in telephony framework
1) Decompile framework.jar
2) Open smali/android/telephony/PhoneNumberUtils.smali
3) Search for MIN_MATCH constant and set it to 0x7
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...but I don't appear to have that in mine.
Am I doing something wrong.
If anyone could offer any advice I would be very grateful.
Many thanks
Russell
P'S. I tried replying about this in the original xda post itself but I don't have authorisation to post in the developers section so I thought I would try here instead.
So, is no one able to help me with this then. All the searching I've done indicates that when I decompress 'framework.jar' then I should have 'classes.dex' inside. However I don't have that.
Can anyone explain to me why this is please before I pull the rest of my hair out.
Thanks

You have to use apktool and apply the command to decompile..
eg.
apktool d framework.jar
this in cmd, will create a new folder named framework.jar.out, then you navigate inside this folder were all the smali's files are etc..
PS. you can't open framework.jar in java decompile, you can open framework.jar extract the classes.dex then use dex2jar tool and turn it back into framework_classes.jar this is the one that can be viewed with java decompilers
Does annybody know....
Where i can find a clean Settings.apk for the GE 4.3 (i9505) that i can mod? (Decompile/Recompile)

I'm assuming then that this will scupper my plans to edit my framework.jar file.

No no, you just need to deodex your ROM then, luckily for you I've got a little thread here - [Info/How-To/Tools] Deodexing Made Easy... - which will help you with that, obviously ignore the Xperia Z Users part and give the rest a read.
