Hey community, im looking to decompile Settings.apk in order to add my own features in. Basically in the same way AOKP does with its Rom Control settings. I have decompiled the apk using apktool but the xml files were not included so i could not put it into eclipse to add settings and such. can someoen tell me how to go about this?

Doesnt eclipse need java source code?
You should use Virtuous Ten Studio to decompile the apk and make sure "Generate Java Source" is checked
for adding your own features in settings....decompile with dependencies define new header in strings.xml and give corresponding image files and create the neccesary smali files.... i don know much of programming refer this thread for basic mods............

Ok i did this. great program by the way, but its java source is just generated as .class files and no .java files. Everything else was perfect but i need the .java files to actually edit and write new methods.

There is now a new person taking over the apktool project, his name is ibotpeaches.. His apktool works with every android version up to date.. This thread will now be a basic guide on how to use apktool
iBotPeaches' APKTOOL THREAD
What I do is create a folder to work in and call it for example:
Code:
c:\apktools
1) Take the apktool.jar from ibot's OP and the modded aapt he provided and place them in the folder.
2) You will need to pull the framework-res.apk from the rom you are working on. Copy it to c:\apktools.
4) Open a command window and navigate to your apktool folder
cd c:\apktools
5) We now need to install the framework and type the following:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
If you are decompiling any framework other that AOSP ie: sense, touchwiz, ect you will have to install the framework and systemui.apk for them as well, ie: for miui it's framework-miui-res.apk
You only need to do this once, unless you are working on a different Rom, then you will need to copy the framework-res.apk from that Rom and run the above command again.
6) We can now decompile framework-res with apktool
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk (here you can add the folder you'd like to have your extracted apk save to)
it will create a folder by the name of the .apk or .jar by default but say you wanted it just to go to a folder called "frameres" (just to be a lil more convienent while typing your command would look like this
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk frameres
the d option stands for decompile and you will now see a folder under c:\apktools\frameres (in my case, yours will be whatever your output folder's name is). Here is all the output and can make any changes you want, and then can recompile. I would test to make sure you can recompile before making a lot of changes though.
6) We will now compile framework-res.apk
java -jar apktool.jar b frameres NEWframework-res.apk
I always put something different in the new apk name for instance i always put NEWapk.apk some people use numbers like apk1.apk ect.. whatever you feel is comfortable for you.. But once you enter the command it will take a few minutes and it should complete without any errors.
7) Once it is done compiling you will need to go to c:\apktools\ and you will now see your new framework-res.apk in my case titled "NEWframework-res.apk"
IMPORTANT LAST STEP
Once you recompile the apk you're going to wanna use 7-zip to open both the original UNMODDED apk and the newly compiled apk
you wanna copy the META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml from the ORIGINAL into the NEWLY compiled apk otherwise your apk won't work
Just remember to copy any apk you want to decompile right into the root of c:\apktools, run the decompile command and it will create a folder of the output that has the same of the apk file.
Thanks for sharing and posting this! (I know there are similar threads scattered all over, but it's nice to see it fresh again). I am still on GB, but eagerly awaiting the update for ICS... Moto & AT&T - not quite a dynamic duo unfortunately...
And just to clarify a few things - what about the oem framework files, like moto/blur, touchwiz, etc..? I believe some apks require those to also be installed with apktool... and I've also read somewhere to install SystemUI.apk as well.. not sure if they are needed, but it doesn't hurt.
And at the end you mention for any xml edits to just copy the resources.arsc over to the old apk - but I think that is only for xml edits in the /values folders, that's what gets tucked in to the resources.arsc - one would still need to copy the edited and compiled xml from any other folder (like layout, anim, etc..), along with any other res changes...
Again, this is just my understanding, and I have my own ways that work well for me so far... and thanks for taking the time to put this thread together. Maybe it will serve as a sort of question and answer thread on the subject, as I have also seen many having troubles/questions..

Yes your right for htc , Motorola, touchwiz and some others you do have to install the appropriate frameworks and in those cases systemui as well but most of them do not have 4.0.4 if I'm not mistaken.. I know HTC is on 4.0.3 but that's all I can truly account for.. but about copying resources.arsc is only if you made XML edits in the values folders, it does state that if other changes were made you'd have to copy those as well.. I will clarify that better thanks for pointing that out

Yea, Moto & Verizon just started last weekend - my buddy with a RAZR got the 4.0.4 update. I had a chance to do a system dump right away, then I decompiled the homescreen.apk just to take a look (I installed all 4 .apks in to apktool as I listed above for his system).
But, after I decompiled homescreen.apk I noticed that there were broken 9patch files already!! Before I even touched it. And that obviously messes up the compiling process - so I had to correct 6 or so broken .9.pngs - broken by Moto or Verizon, I can only assume - and after I repaired them everything compiled normally..
Just a heads-up that the "professional" devs mess up things also - and broken .9.pngs are often the cause for compiling errors..
Well, this is very handy.
I'd thought I'd chip in and say that resources.arsc often needs to be compressed at the right rate as well. If it's not at 'store', in other words if the file in the apk is smaller than normal, the app might not work correctly.
Thanks for the useful information! Here is an archive of batch files that simplify the process. Enough to drag needed file or folder with mouse at appropriate batch file:
apktool-if.cmd - installation of framework-res, SystemUI, etc.
apktool-d-1.4.2.cmd - decompiling with apktool.jar.1.4.2.
apktool-d-1.4.3.cmd - decompiling with apktool.jar.1.4.3.
apktool-b.cmd - building.
Correct version of apktool is selected automatically.

Thanks for sharing this info. I know a lot of people have been frustrated lately getting apks to properly decode and rebuild in ICS.
I took your great instructions and refined them a bit to reduce the workflow, having to rename the apktool.jar between decoding and building. You can download what I am using here.
First register framework-res by placing the framework-res.apk from your rom into the extracted apktool zip directory, then execute 0-FRAMEWORK-IF.BAT:
Code:
C:\Test\Test1.4.2-1.4.3>0-FRAMEWORK-IF.bat
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\Derek\apktool\framework\1.apk
Next decode the apk, 1-DECODE.BAT SystemUI.apk . A new output sub-directory will automatically be created based on the apk name (SystemUI.apk_out):
Code:
C:\Test\Test1.4.2-1.4.3>apktool-1.4.2.bat d SystemUI.apk ./SystemUI.apk_out
I: Baksmaling...
I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
I: Loading resource table from file: C:\Users\Derek\apktool\framework\1.apk
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Decoding values*/* XMLs...
I: Done.
I: Copying assets and libs...
Make your edits and build. 2-BUILD.BAT SystemUI.apk:
Code:
C:\Test\Test1.4.2-1.4.3>2-BUILD.bat SystemUI.apk
C:\Test\Test1.4.2-1.4.3>apktool-1.4.3.bat b -f -d SystemUI.apk_out

Apktool and ICS haven't been friends for ages..but there's a new version out now. Head here:

This is designed to work with most ICS files. Some Sense files don't decompile properly but that's something HTC have done. That's nothing we can do about it.

That ROM is fully stock and, ofcourse, odexed.It is rooted...i have google it for more than a week and tried all methods but nothing worked.That application u mentioned is doing the job(maybe) but manually.What i want is to find a method to remove from start the sms from call log, without any other further action.
I moved from that ROM to this one :WanamLite ICS UHLPS V12.2 Android 4.0.3 Stable Blue ICS & Stock Themed ...deodexed and he replaced the default option "View by - All logs" with "View by - All calls".Still not what I was looking for but is better than the stock.
Hi guys.
I have Apk Manager.
And, most of apks don't decompile.
I guess this is due to Api level.
Is there any way to increase the api level in apk manager?
Or is there a mod of apk manager that works with JB.
Please reply asap

I don't know much about apk manager but in apktools you can change the api level by -a command..it is generally used while deodexing ..
however, api level will not give you troubles if you use the latest apktool..it included all the magic numbers to work with JB apps..

Follow the below steps:
Place both Apktool and aapt.exe in the windows directory
have java installed (you might already have it)
right click inside the windows directory, in any clean space, choose open command prompt here
use:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d your <apkpath> <destinationfolderpath>
to decompile and
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b <yourdestinationfolderpath> <yourfinalapkpath>
to recompile the final apk...just drag and drop the folders/apks to cmd, it will add the path
drag and drop the android.manifest.xml and meta-inf files from the original apk to the final apk after you are done..open both the files with 7zip/winrar

dex2jar is easy way to read the code. but you really should not depend on it.
if you want to make changes to apk - modify .smali files. because noone can guarantee that app will work or even compile after dex -> jar -> dex.
but it will defenetly work after dex -> smali -> dex.

You should really learn how android and dex/smali are working.
If you convert .dex to .java sources - it will be a big challenge to compile back .java to .dex. Most of time it will be impossible.

It could be an outdated aapt file. For those that have this problem,check the aptktool and aapt version.Make sure your apk's are also deodexed.Heres the latest version of apktool.... https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
Apktool has to be able to support every generation APK, and that is becoming quite difficult to do. Especially with the new restrictions of aapt in every latest version.
Off the top of my head there is 2 major changes in newer aapt.
1) Implicit parent now requires a parent.
If you had
Code:
<style name="Door.Knob.Color"> ... </style>
You need
Code:
<style name="Door.Knob"></style>
<style name="Door"><style>
Even if they are NULL styles.
2) Android styles are enforced private.
So if you are extending some styles which HTC & Samsung are doing, then on newer aapt it fails to build. The obvious question is "well lets just use old aapt". Then my obvious answer is this (via Google)
Thanks, it's help me out
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)

Ok, I'm gradually learning here. Having done a bit of research it appears that my rom is odexed (I have .apk and .odex files in my /system/app folder).
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.

Thanks very much for that, I shall digest the information while I'm on holiday ready to act on it when I get back.
I'll let you know how I get on.
