## Due to exams I won't be able to reply on questions, there are however many experienced developers active on this thread like @SpaceCaker & @K.A. ##
I have seen a lot of guides on how to decompile with Apk Tool, but none are noob friendly, so I thought I would post this.
What You Need:
ApkTool
Java JDK/JRE 32 bit
Super Basic Cmd/terminal knowledge (My 5 year old brother can handle this)
Download Apk Tool Here: (Must be this one)
Mega
First you need to extract that zip folder to anywhere you choose, preferably on root of c/drive E.g: C:/android/apktool extracting the files to 'apktool' folder.
Now copy the apk you would like to mod into your Apk Tool folder.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Command Prompt:
Open up your Command Prompt by going to:
Start -> run -> type : Cmd
Code:
Your cmd will probly look like this..
C:\users\yourname>
so type in
cd.. [COLOR="Red"](Yes include the '..' and press enter after you type each command.)[/COLOR]
this will get you to back directory so now you will see
C:\users>
so type again
cd..
you should now see this:
C:\>
now type in:
cd 'apktoo'l/'directory'
for me it looks like:
cd android/apktool
now you should see:
C:/android/apktool>
and you are in the apktool directory
Installing Framework:
Now that you are in directory we need to install the device's framework to your system for it to compile correctly so type this:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Remember: Devices like HTC / Samsung / Huawei have other frameworks that are used in their apps too, sometimes you need to install them too.
This will install the devices framework to your system. (need to do this)
Decompiling:
Now to decompile the apk you want to edit, type this:
apktool d framework-res.apk framework1
or
apktool d music.apk music
music.apk is the apk your decompiling
music is the folder you're creating for the decompiled apk
Now go about your business :victory:
Recompiling/Finished Product:
Now to recompile your new apk type this:
apktool b music music-new.apk
or
apktool b framework1 framework-res-new.apk
framework1 is the folder with your edited files
framework-res-new.apk is your new apk file
We are NOT done just yet, we cannot use the new apk's... we have to take what we did and add it back to the original apk file to keep proper signature
use something like 7zip, take the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "-new" apk and copy them into Original apk
Your new modded APK is now ready, Congrats! :highfive:
If you get Java errors see here.
If you recompile fine but doesn't install " App couldn't not be installed " see here.
Good Luck Guys! :fingers-crossed:
seems really helpful, will try and report
AFAIK, for systemUI, you need to replace resources.arsc, classes.dex and the res folder..
Nicely done, btw..
You could make a guide using Virtuous Ten Studio ...Most n00b friendly software ever made and very convenient too....
Nice guide btw

If decompiling is fine, then framework files problem shouldn't be there.
Can you tell the errors that occurred?

Idk then, i've been working with JB apks for a while now...no framework problems if decompile is fine.. OR, the modifications must've been incorrectly done, i think..

Hi guys i want to know how to edit the Lockring. I have downloaded APK Manager and M10 Tools. Also i have downloaded a LockRing and i have edited to make a different one. But i dont know where to replace or which file to replace. After i load the fusion in M10 Tools and click on decode images and decompile the skins there aren't images to show. All help is greatly appreciated.
This is the edited lockring i want to change:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
^^^ I'd like to know this too, for ics sense 4
I don't know of you have and installed and set up but you need it. In a adb command window, type in
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk.
Next type in
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
Put both of these apps I'm the /other/ folder of apkmanager
Ok let's start off with using apkmanager. Open a command prompted in the apkmanager/other/ folder by right clicking the other folder while holding shift. A command window will open.
Type in:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
After this apkmanager is set up correctly. Now to the theming....
I need to know which sense you want to theme before I continue.
I'm guessing its ics so what I recommend is using a skin rather than using fusion. It is much easier.
Use 7zip to pull shared.m10 from the skin. It is in assets/skinname/.
Open the shared.m10 in m10editor. Select decode images then click decompile and click yes.
To be continued give me a sec...
By the way two other great threads that helped me a lot are knightwolf's and the interactive phone modification threads.
Are you on sense 3.6/4.0?

Sense 3.6. I did it modifying a skin but i can't do it from the fusion.
Yeah m10 tools doesnt work with fusion as far I know. It needs to be updated.

are you trying to pull bluesky or burgandy? or is it a custom skin made for that rom?
if its custom yes if its ics stock skins yes and no(the shared m10 for those are in fusion you can pull it from there and the apk to match but you can't use m10 to mod it(unless you pull the shared m10 from a different skin and swap it out)

It is a custom skin made for the Rom. I tried with the fusion but no images. I had to use a base skin in apk i had but i want to extract and use as a base the custom skin that comes with the ROM

you cant use stock fusion(for anything),now if its a custom skin then you can swap out the shared m10 from any 3.0 theme or skin(you will have to recolor all the pngs in the new skin to match(if need be) but you can change the lockring(one of the two(not the one that shows up when you pull icons that will stay stock)

Could you tell me what i am doing wrong? Always i try to compile the apk i receive this error. I have changed the LockRing and some textures with M10 Tools but i want to change the name and the preview images in APK but always get this:
i cant tell from that screen shot.
1) did you change the name on the assests folder,in values/string and on manifest?(manifest and the folder have to be the same. ie XyZ and XyZ)
2)did you recolor any .9s
3)did you change any other xmls
4)are your apktools,aapt and the 1 and 2 appks up to date

You can't change xmls for sense 3.6 skins, or else it won't recompile. Team Elegancia doesn't do that for their skins, they just change picture of the skin, and nothing else. No decompiling is needed to do that. Just signing... That's why they only base their skins on htc skins...

If you don't use APK Manager what do you use? M10 Tools doesn't let to change some things like name or previews. Does it?
The latest firmware update from Sony on the ICS Xperia 2012 brought improvements except one unpleasant moment: bootlup after editing framework-res.apk
This method only works. It told me the user with 4pda.ru sk0t. And for that, he thanks a lot.
So, the tutorial will be small. I use ApkTools150.
1. Decompiled framework as usual, using files from your firmware.
2. Make the necessary changes.
3. Now go to the folder with the decompiled framework and open the file in a text editor apktool.iml
4. Remove these lines and save.
Code:
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2
5. Go to framework-res\res\values\ and open styles.xml. Locate and delete the highlighted in red in the two lines:
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg_bright</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Compile you framework-res.apk
After installing the framework you will experience the background application will no longer be subject to change depending on the theme. I have the problem solved by adding transparency: [Sola\Go\U?\P?] Reboot&Transparent mode [Test] But this compromise.
If someone has a different way, without errors, please let me know )
Do not say thanks, press thanks:angel:
If i do not want the transperency effect will it still work? I am fine with not being able to change the background.

Transparency is not an end, and correction of errors. If left as it is your background in applications is static, background image is stored in the framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi\semc_bg.png and semc_bg_bright.png.
I repeat, this is a compromise.
Thank u this will definitely help!

From SemcGenericUxpRes.apk extract the two pngs and copy it to drawables.hdpi of framework-res.apk. Now compile the framework-res.
It should solve the problem.

It will not work.
1. If you do not delete the line about "com.sonyericsson.uxp" framework that will not compile \ work.
2. If they delete and copy two pictures of SemcGenericUxpRes.apk-then the background will be static, it will not change when you change themes. The background is taken from the framework, of those pictures, which we copied. Choosing a theme is not working 100%.

Ok i thought i'll do a little more,i moved the two pngs with an additional "_uxp" tag to their name and followed the changes in the file as per post,
Also i declared the 2png files in public.xml
Now next thing in my mind would be decompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Changing the drawable smali which finds this variable and declare it as part of framework-res.apk
now the question is what is the framework-res.apk file according to system?
Any solution to keep theme background?
Now this is an interesting workaround. Very clever.
However..
With Sony's ICS roms, you need to install SemcGenericUxpRes.apk with apktool before you decompile framework-res.apk. This will give the program all the resources it needs to fully decompile the apk.
Otherwise you will have a partially decompiled apk that will always give you a bootloop unless you do something like the op.
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk...give it a try!

HOW TO
Add ICS/Jellybean look alike task switcher
Removed previous update due to some problem in MOD-without-buttom.zip :- please use the new one
and for
[UPDATE] 18 aug- - MOD-without button.zip: without task manager button [fixed[
TO USE THIS MOD ON OTHER DEVICES GO TO THIS POST
and dont forget my name when writing Credits part....
Tools Required:
1. APKTOOL:: for decompiling/compiling
(u can use any decompiler as long as it compiles without any error)
2. JAVA runtime environment-- jre installed on windows
3. 7 ZIP
4. WinRAR
5. MOD.ZIP or MOD without button.zip (attached below)
MOD.zip includes "task manager" button at the bottom
MOD without button.zip obviously doesnt...
Procedure:
Setting up apktool
1. Unzip downloaded APKTOOL.zip to c:/apk (or any other convenient location)
2. copy ur rom's framework-res.apk to c:/apk/ and rename it as framework-stock.apk (dont delete this file neither modify it at any point)
3.open cmd and navigate to c:/apk/ and type command as
Code:
C:\apk>apktool if framework-stock.apk
Now you are all set to decompile framework-res.apk
DECOMPILING framework-res.apk
In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool d framework-res.apk frame
this will put all decompiled files in a folder named "frame"
EDITING decompiled framework-res.apk
1. open "c:/apk/frame/res" in explorer
2. extract all folders in the MOD.zip file to "c:/apk/frame/res/" and replace the files if asked
RECOMPILING framework-res.apk
1. In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool b frame framework.apk
if all goes well it will create an UNSIGNED framework.apk (u cant push it right now)
SIGNING framework-res.apk
1. open c:/apk/framework-res.apk in 7-ZIP not Winrar
2. open c:/apk/framework.apk in WINRAR and drag all the contents to the 7-zip window
and click "yes" in dialog when asked to copy files into framework-res.zip
DONE!!
c:/apk/framework-res.apk is the signed apk which you can push to system/framework/ using any method adb, CWM
or u can even use Miui file explorer to push framework-res.apk without any bootloops.....
if u get stuck in bootloop just flash ur stock framework-res.apk and then report here....
DO give proper credits if you are using this in your rom....
go here to see if it has been added to ur rom already or not....

OR you can install this task killer. ICS Task Manager from market that is "ALMOST" look like a recent task/apps of ICS/JB.
This is not yet confirmed to be working for I can't do it on my own device Xperia X10 minipro running GingerDXv029 on top of nAa-14.
It is because of having 3 recent_apps_dialog.xml namely:
recent_apps_dialog.xml
recent_apps_dialog_12.xml
recent_apps_dialog_15.xml
this traits from GDX framework is same on ARCmini NXT6 and MiniCM7-2.2.1
IF ANYONE can do this, PLEASE provide a tutorial. It will be much appreciated.

It doesn't look good to our small devices. It's devs doesn't include LDPI sources on it's apps. SO OBVIOUSLY it's too big. the screen image of the app almost 3/4 of our screen. It doesn't look good. tried it. However if you want an app. I include the link of the Ics Task Manager. It's available on free and paid versions. and It looks good on small devices.

This is not yet confirmed to be working for I can't do it on my own device Xperia X10 minipro running GingerDXv029 on top of nAa-14.
It is because of having 3 recent_apps_dialog.xml namely:
recent_apps_dialog.xml
recent_apps_dialog_12.xml
recent_apps_dialog_15.xml
this traits from GDX framework is same on ARCmini NXT6 and MiniCM7-2.2.1

You can find in : /system/app/Settings.apk !
Also I have google search FC ... need to fix this
Here's what I have discovered so far:
1) apps must be installed as regular apps. If pushed to system/app nothing works and the physical back button won't work.
2) for Google launcher to work, you must have launcher, GSM, velvet and Google voice search all installed.
3) even with all of these installed, Google voice IS working (open apps, search web, talkback, etc...), but always gives the "google voice search has stopped" error. Possibly missing some frameworks or libs?
I have these apps all working so far: Launcher, voice search (except for the error listed above), GSM, velvet (part of the launcher and also wallpapers), Google keyboard, new market and finally new YouTube.
