[Q] [HELP] Decompiling APK

I got this problem when I'm decompiling an system app apk. I'm just a beginner exploring this. What do I need to do here?

what apk is it?
system apk needs framework files to compile/decompile it. maybe framewok-res.apk and framework.jar is enough but i've always include all content of /system/framework just to be sure.
and good luck with it
you need to decompile it with dependencie ... being the dependencie ... framework-res.apk
option 10
How can I do it with the framework? I'm decompiling phone.apk just for testing and exploration.
I just extracted phone.apk from the flashable zip rom.
With apktool:
Type "apktool if [framework file name]"
You might need to install the framework and Twframework apk (check the rom's system\framework directory)
Check the web page for more details, just Google apktool or apk Manager.
I am using apk multi tool. Is that the same as those?

By looking at the screeshot I think it's 'decompile apk with dependencies'.
Search for apk multitool to see how it works.

[THEME][DEV][HELP] "Archos_JellyBeaned" custom framework

Hi all,
I have a project : make a custom framework for Archos gen8 with a Android Jelly_Bean style.
I've found a framework-res.apk from a Galaxy S2 JB ROM. I've began to "mix" the content of drawable-hdpi folders.
But when I try to remake the .apk (zipped with WinRar and renamed .zip by .apk), replace it in my /system/framework with 644 permissions, my a43 boot loop. Why ?
(I've bricked five times yesterday...).
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.

Apk is not the same as zip AFAIK
I would personnaly have baskmali the apk (=uncompile) to mod the files - then recompile it (smali)

Development is much more considerate as software dev without just modifying pngs but don't worry this forum is not that much active
Take a look at apk multi tools my friend

I'm not only modifying png's ^^ i will edit some .xml's for a more "realist" JB theme.
I've installed APK Manager. I find it more easy for noobies like me
Are you french, minidou ?

Yes ^^
Like 99% of Archos customers ^^
Ok, i've modified 60% ~ of png's, but i want recompile it with ApkManager, it says there is an error occured...
I don't know why :what:
I've also tested the "RoTTeNaPPlEIce", it works perfectly ... on a screen resolution of 160dpi (a43 has a 240dpi resolution ^^ )
Pour le moment, je vais dodo XD

Hi,
You can see more details of my "recompiling" error with apktool.
The problem seems to be the /values/public.xml but i don't know what exactly is it.
Now, i will begin the drawable-mdpi folder modifications for all a70/a101 owners. But i can't test it for the moment...
Should i sign framework-res.apk ?
Sent from my A43 using xda premium
No no need to sign a system apk that you will push manually
Actually I'm sorry but I don't know well what happens here...
Did any apk have been created ?
No apk's have been created. After some searches on Gugole, the problem is the Apktools version. I'm using v1.5.0.
If someone want compile it for me, let me a PM

make it work, please. It will be a demn good thing.
Hi all,
About my problem, Apktool doesn't support png changes.
I was trying a simple xml editing in an .apk and it works. But when i begin to modify .png's, all goes off.
Friends are compiling it for me... ^^ thanks you bros

Can we expect it for UrukDroid? Or it will be a CM7 theme?
It's a custom framework-res.apk for stock ROM and UrukDroid. Maybe a CM7 theme after ^^

For just replacing image files, the easiest you can do is just opening .apk file with WinRAR and manually replacing files within WinRAR.
P.S. I don't know for sure what you exactly did with mixing apk files, but your 43IT probably boot loops because of the missing META-INF folder from the 43it apk.
What is the META-INF folder utility exactly ? (I don't touch this folder. Only "drawable-hdpi" and "drawable-mdpi" folders).
When i've tried to ''mix'' png's with winRar, my a43 bootloop.
Sent from my A43 using xda premium
No I would suggest you not to touch the apk with a archive explorer
I don't really know try to look inside it or ask Google
Thanks to ranomez for the compiling ^^ i'll be more vigilant next time
I'm testing the all first version of framework. Screens on next post

[Q]How to recompile apps

hi guys, im newbie in app development and can somebody teach me how to recompile apps sucessfully without any error with APKTOOL...
Thanks for reply...
Have android sdk installed with platformtools.Add it to system path variables and always use updated apktools and aapt from ibotpeaches.Adding sdk to path has always prevented giving exec of aapt error in linux.That is because apktools looks for aapt in path but it doesn't exist there but it exists in my home directory.
