Guy, use 7zip manager, extract the package, apply the changes, copy all the contents of framework changed in the original framework-res.apk (through 7zip) It's an idea.

Changes in bools.xml requires decompiling I guess.

[Q] Compile/Decompile using apktool or APK Multi Tool

Hi everyone,
I'm trying desperately to edit some files inside SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but I'm having some troubles...
I wanted to post in the specific thread of the program : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310151 but I'm not allowed to, because it's my first post here.
First I used only apktool, I managed to decompile my 2 files with no problems, I replaced a few *.png files and tried to recompile it but I'm getting errors... (I only manage to recompile the files if I don't edit a thing)
Then I tried APK Multi Tool, I achieved to decompile my 2 files (with the option 9 in the program), but I can't recompile them after editing my files. So I decided to make a test, I tried to decompile and recompile (I hit 9 then 11 in the choice case) them WITHOUT changing a thing and I get errors anyway...
If I use the choice 1 (only extract the apk), do my editing and then zip the project (with the choice 3), directories are wrong inside the new *.apk, I get "projects\SystemUI.apk\(res or smali, etc...)" so the *.apk result is not usable
Here is the log file when I try to recompile WITHOUT changes :
Code:

Thanks in advance if you can help me
I managed to recompile my edited files with apktool by placing classes.dex and resources.arsc in the folder oh the extracted archives.
I signed my SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with signapk.jar but my ROM still won't boot...
I'm getting the same error
I've emailed the dev. Will let you know if I get a response.
Can you try removing the spaces in the folder name ? "APK Multi Tool" ?
My Windows user name has spaces in it, I was just wondering if that could be an issue.
Just a hunch since spaces can sometimes cause problems.
Let me know if that works !
---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------
Well ignore my previous post. I created a new user and tried to compile. Still getting the same error
Funny, i'm having the EXACT same thing happen to me.
I used to use linux and I know that when I was originally installing it(on linux) it wouldn't run without a file called "aapt". I had to download and insert the file with the others in a specific area.
Unfortunately I had to wipe linux and reinstall win7 for school purposes. So now here I am trying to test everything on windows, which is a blur to me since I haven't used it in so long.
In the error log we are getting, it's mentioning something about "aapt", and when I go searching for it in the APK-multi tool folders, it's nowhere to be found. This file may be what's causing the issue of de/recompiling.
EDIT: I figured it out, well kinda. I uninstalled version 1.0.2, and downloaded and installed version 1.0.0 of apk multi tool from his website. Tested again and this time everything went ok. there must be some sort of bug in the newest one.
Try this, it will work
Place apk in modding folder
Hit #1to extract apk
go to project folder and make your mods
now hit #3 to zip apk
then hit #1 to retain system signature for system files (system.ui, framework.res etc...)
go into modding folder and get the new unsigned apk and rename it to what it was before
place in sd card or use adb to push to where ever it needs to go
this works everytime for me, never had problems hope this helps
that works for editing images only...but I want to edit some .xml files, and when I extract I don't get them
thats where we need decompile/compile
Im getting this same issue..
I have the same issue every apk creates with a project/*.*.apk
Anyone fix it?
Ok so dropped back to version 1.0.1 and it works
when I hit option 3 in 1.0.1 I see
compressing res\
But in version 1.0.2 I see
compressing project\FILESNAME.apk\res\
Hope that helps
Test This

Thanks bro, and see you on BrasilDroid.

See point 1, spaces in paths have given me issues before and spent ages trying everything before finally realizing it's how I'd named the folder. If that doesn't work, assuming you've installed all the necessary resource apks I'm not sure what to suggest. apktool never gave me issues [user=4315551]@Ticklefish[/user]?
[QUOTE="raziel23x, post: 18558251, member: 2968938"][B][COLOR=Red]Got problems ?[/COLOR][/B]
[B]1. [COLOR="Red"]Make sure your path has no spaces[/COLOR]
2. Your filename has no wierd characters
3. Java/adb are in your path
4. It's not a proprietary rom's apk (aka Sense,Motorola,Samsung) (If u are, then use option 11 and drag the required framework, eg com.htc.resources, twframework-res...etc)
5. It's not a themed apk (if it is, expect .9 png errors, use as close to stock as possible)
6. Look at the log to know whats happening
7. If all else fails, post as much info as possible and we will try to assist you.[/B]

I have tried. As you can see, I have an error when recompile it.
Make sure u dont change any of the apk mamager files from the original foulder leave everythun you extracted together in the same foalder. If you continue having errors you might have to try diffrent versions of apk manager to get it to work.

I have read that you cannot decmpile sysyenui without first decompiling framework-res....why is it failaing now?
However, kudos, this is the first time decompile has ever worked for me, thanks +1 to you
First of all dont add the systemui.apk using the if statement...
i see u have added the framework-res.apk to the framework folder...
next just write this statement to decompile Systemui.apk
java -jar apktool.jar d SystemUI.apk
Further it was failing coz u wrote .jat instead of .jar

I use stock .587. I can decompile SystemUI.apk but getting error in Home.apk
Hmm, I have been having a play with this but cant get my head round it.
I am on oureness build 13 and am trying to get the time to show in the status bar. I have searched through the systemUI.apk but I dont know where to begin to edit systemUI.apk to get the time back.
I have tried to compare it to other systemUI.apk files that do show the time, but there is too much to go through.
If can anyone give me clue on how to edit the smali files to show the time I would be grateful

Problems decompiling/compiling settings.apk in KitKat mediatek mt6592

Hi all!
I was trying to make some changes in Settings.apk from my Elephone P8, a mt6592 device with kitkat (4.4.2), when I had a problem: it's impossible to decompile/recompile this apk!!

What i've tried:
- Installing dependencies from: mediatek-res.apk, Systemui.apk, Settings.apk, ext.jar, etc... nothing worked ;/
- Using another tools as apk multitool, advanced apk tool, etc... not working also
- Copying original resources.asrc and classes.dex from original Settings.apk to Settings folder after decompiled. This compile Settings apk, but no encoded, so it's unuseful
- Ussing differente enviroments: BBQ linux, Ubuntu, Windows 8.1... Not working in any of them
I'v tried to do the same with another mt6952 device, the BQ Aquaris E5 FHD with similar results... so it's a mediatek kitkat common problem.
Can you help me, guys????? Any idea what can I try next??

Well see that's the issue. As they seldom use official software. You will have to make sure to only use the framework from you device. Make sure to install them all. Also make sure the rom is deodex or you won't be able to decompile anything.
Thank you.
All files are from the same device (elephone p8), extracted and deodexed by me and working well in a ROM.
UPDATE: I succesfullly recompiled settings.apk!!! I installed mediatek-res.apk, but apktool.yml did not use it, so I edited the file including it and ... voilá!
Thank you, friend, without your words it couldn't be possible

Hi, friend. Glad to see you here Your Roms are awesome.
You must decompile settings.apk installing framework-res.apk and mediatek-res.apk first.
Then, before recompiling, you must open apktool.yml and you'll see a line that point to used dependences. Something like "- 1". Simply add after this one a new line with "- 2" if you installed dependences using default mode. Then save the changes and compile in normal way.

Are you trying to decompiling for meizu mx4??? I'll tried it too, but I couldn't find the way to install framework as dependence. Same error as yours.
That's because they use files that differ from stock Android that apk tool is not set to use and the apktool dev already stated he will not add support for it.
