Just wondering what tools you guys use to compile apks?
I was trying to get a framework-res.apk compiled for like twelve hours and never finished compiling.
if you could please post what tools you use and what versions that would be a great help.
thanks in advance
something like this
apktool
linux
java jdk v7

I liked wanam's ics version for decompiling/recompiling ICS. What exactly are you trying/wanting to change in framework-res ? Quite often I just extract framework and rezip it via root explorer on my phone if i am changing things like .png's But if you are trying to edit xml files or such then you do need to use a decompile/compiler. What framework are you trying to compile? ICS or Gingerbread? Some idea may help others to answer you with more ideas.
If it is ICS you can decompile with with a gingerbread apktool and then have to recompile with one made for ics. I am by NO MEANS an expert but have been told by others.

I am trying to remove the clock from my taskbar on EH09 GB rom (pwgb). I have edited out the code line for the clock on SystemUI.apk, but when i recompile, my editing is gone and it is just like the original apk. Can someone help me? I have google'd this and have not been able to find an answer.
Ive tried for days and kept getting errors. I finally found a way to remove it. If you look here they created a remove clock for the Heinz_57 ROM for the Mesmerize. It works for the fascinate. Id upload mine, but I changed alot from their file. Link for the remove clock patch is here. Good luck.
I tried that file, and it did work, but out changed a lot more than just removing the clock. I will upload my apk if you'll compile it

did you install the framework-res and twframework-res with apktool before decompiling/recompiling?
what version of apktool are using?
windows/linux?
(btw the resurrection update has clock options built in )

Was having issues recompiling...took me 3 days to figure it out. Maybe it's the same thing.
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=190#c2
(It's because the latest version of apktool doesn't call the twframework-res.apk when compiling, so you need to force it to) Only for SystemUI.apk though.
what errors are you getting? what options do you select when recompiling? details please.
Thanks for all of your replies, I am now using theTSM resurrection update with clock options built in.

I have tried several APK tools/managers on the ICS apk's in an attempt to make a theme for either Viper ROM or the stock deodexed ROM, and I cannot find a manager, or tool that will compile the modded apk's.
I find the HTC green and sky blue to be most undesireable, does anyone have one that will work for compiling? decompiling isn't a problem.
I have tried WANAM for ICS, Nexus ONE, 4.9, 5.0 so if anyone can help I would sure appreciate it.
THanks and happy days.

you need the apktool modded to work with sense
and you need to make sure you are adding both the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk
you can find more info here

Does anyone know how to decompile and recompile the framework for cm10 nightly build? I'm using Framework Toolkit by Themike *it simply cant recompile everything from original framework into new modded framework after editing the dimens.xml for osb's dpi (i assume, the modded framework (5MB+-) is significantly smaller than the original untouched framework (9MB+-), and the modded framework give bootloop). thanks
ICS apks are hard to decompile and and recompile. you got to search a lot to get a working apktool. the tool needed to for decompiling and recompiling.
moreover the apk is to be "signed". Just make sure you sign your apk.
you got to have a better understanding of xml for this. other than this i cant help. Good luck :good:
you can use mod to add OSB. it also provide modded settings.
Btw mate the system apps. Or files are not to be signed afaik and even if you sign it,you'll have to sign all system files with the same!
Isn't it?

Ghostfreak: yup, but i dun think CM team will sign all the apps they modify, are they? btw, nvm. I guess i better stick to ICS 1st, CM10 still kinda too buggy to be used on daily usages. JB source and resource for xperia are still too limited......
rajxelton: CM10 is based on JB 4.1.2, not 4.0.4 ICS (CM9) anymore of course the modding will be kinda different somehow, and CM10.1 is now 4.2.1 but under alpha release to test for development purpose. and ya, i do know those xml files under the values folder. i did made my own framework for my own use before.....
So i lost about 2 days untill I found out that the problem wasn't on Virtuos Ten Studio or any decompiler. On some random thread i actually found out that u cant mod the SecMms.apk only by the XML files, cause it won't work, you need to edit them in smali folder. So Here comes the question, how can I, make the odex version of SecMms.apk in a function deodexed one to run on my ODEXED stock JB Rom 4.1.2?
Im using Virtuous Studio, since its really clean interface helps alot, but cat find any smali folder when decompiling. I tried to deodex option but it has some weird problem.
Can any1 provide me a full guide pls?
TOO LONG TO READ:
1) I have ODEXED ROM(Stock JB 4.1.2)
2) I want to DEODEX the .ODEX and SecMms.apk so I can edit the smali and import it to my phone.
