Hi Im using cm10.1 on my desire s.
I'm using latest apktool. I'm trying to mod in call screen to make more transparent I did found out how to do it thanks to XDA.
but when I recompile it I got error as in screenshot.
I installed framework-res.apk from my rom and decompiled phone.apk
than I edited Phone\res\layout\in_call_screenui.xml that's it.
when I try to recomple it. I get errors in Phone\values\strings.xml which I didn't even edited. I don't get error in every values folder though.
so what am I doing wrong here? can any1 help please?

i have a problem to decompile an apk, it's the framework-miui-res.apk, when i try to decompile with apktool it give me a warning (W: Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/popup_item_single_normal.9.png". Renaming it to *.png. ) anyways it decompile all the files and i can edit it, but whan i try to compile it's a completly mess, give me a lot of errors
i was googling it , and i found that the error is because there are two files with the same name in xml files, i try to replace it, rename it, using different tools and version of apktool, making "apktool if", but i just can't make it compile. any ideas?

Your problem was stated on the decompile. The .9 issue will throw up errors on everything when it is the only thing wrong. Might want to ask on the MIUI site
already did that, but there's no answer

Have you tried fixing the .9 png ?
yeap, it creates two files when decompile, one is 9.png but is trash(0kb) and the other is the .png file, i try to rename the png (with 9.png) delete the 9.png file but it didn't work.
also i decompile another framework-miui-res.apk from another rom(without error) , extrac the 9.png replace in my rom and still no work.

Ok just renaming the png to a .9 will not work. .9 pngs are special made pngs with a special border system. Can you decompile and recompile the apk without the error?

no, that's the problem, but i can decompile the framework-res-miui from another rom and extract the 9.png
can you try it? i let the framework at top

Sorry I don't touch anything from MIUI. There are a few threads around. Search for an MIUI themeing thread and they should be able to help you.

, thanks, and no there's no thread with the solution for this, and i think the problem is not only in miui roms, and have other apps that i cant compile
i wonder if there is another way to compile wthout using apktool

The only two choices are using apktool or compiling it from the source code and making your changes and using apktool. What version of android is it for? ICS needs 2 versions. One to decompile and one to compile. I have themed every OS version I have used and with the right searching and some trial and error it has always worked. Including ics
it's based on android 2.3.7, and try that also(using 1.4.2 to decompile and 1.4.3 to compile)
Hey guys just wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction to a apktool that is working on the s3.
I've attempted to extract and set the framework.apk and decompile systemui.apk, which worked fine but when compiling the modded file I'm getting errors..
Wont compile with out any modifications either..
Any tips and comments will be appreciated... excuse my grammer as I'm writing this on my phone.
I managed to recompile framework-res.apk with apk tool however it boot looped so not convinced.
Do you have to decompile with dependencies with samsung frameworks?

framework-res.apk won't compile with samsung based roms...i don't know why but in most cases it doesn't.
Make sure to press the thanks button.!!!!
Thanks for the tip, although not being able to recompile SystemUI.apk is a different issue all together..
Iv tried setting framework.apk & twframework-res.apk from the stock firmware which came with my phone.. attempted to compile.. fails.
Iv got a feeling this is going to be something silly..
EDIT: Something has come to mind, iv only ever been able to decompile systemUI for CM9 based roms.. forgot were working with stock Samsung.. last time I had this issue I hit a brick wall pretty much apktool couldnt decompile sammy systemUI .. this may have changed.

There was a way of doing it where there was one apktool.jar for decompile and another for recompile. It seemed to work for me but it was not successful.
I'll create my own thread.
I need some help on this too. APKTOOL is not taking if apktool framework-res.apk in CMD. Any ideas? I'm just trying to decompile SystemUI.apk, lol. It shouldn't be this hard.
I have a big problem.
When i use untouched original framework-res and systemui, i can decompile and compile but only when i made no changes.
when i got the framework-res and systemui from my checkrom to mod some xmls ican decompile. but i can not compile
I`ve a look to my pathes but there correct.
My phone SGS3 with checkromV4

apktool work fine here!
i guess you should mount twframework-res.apk in apktool
Code:
apktool if twframework-res.apk
apktool if framework-res.apk
I've managed to compile both SystemUI and framework-res using APK manager for ICS.
Sometimes when you try to use a FW res or system ui from a custom or themed rom you will get errors because of the customizations they made to them. That's why a lot of time they will tell you to start with a stock fw or systemui.
For example, when I tried to recompile a themed FW res (JB domination) I got errors, when I used a stock "virgin" copy it was fine.
Hello,
i have a problem recompiling framework-res.apk.
I can flawlessly decompile and change any other apk (also system apks).
Decompiling the framework-res.apk goes flawlessly as well...
But when i try to recompile apktool tells me
could not find sources
checking whether resources has changed
building ressourced
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then it gives and incredible long error message that something is wrong in values/plurals (I have not even touched it!!) and some other **** that may be wrong..
Even if I don´t change anything I get this message..
First of all:
- i have installed the framework (java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk)
- i have updated to the latest aapt.exe
- i am using apktool 1.4.8 but it also happens with all other versions (I tried it)
I don´t know what´s wrong since I can flawlessly change any other apks that way as i told..
I hope you can help me!
Thanks in advance!
Use apkmanager is best...... to install framework, put it in others folder use "apktool if framework-res.apk" cmd..... as ur error says, u r not installed framework correctly i think..... try this....

Well... apkmanager is like an automatic Version of apktool...
So I will get same Error...
Can´t anyone help me? Has no one ever discovered this Problem before?...
Can you post the long error message to track the issue copy it to paste bin or something

same problem!
Try THIS and report back.
Well thanks
That ICS Apktool worked. Allthough i was editing a JB apk...
Thanks anyway I hop it will remain working Otherwise I´ll report on that here.
Thanks again. You saved my ass.
The funny thing is that SystemUI is not recompilable with that apktool. But it works fine with my old one..
It seems that it only works for framework-res.apk...
isn´t that strange somehow?

It is a pain in the ass, try this one for it which is what I use for my SystemUI and other problem APKs, but keep the two separate, so have the first in it's own folder and this in it's own folder...
I was trying to decompile, modify and then recompile my SystemUI.APK to put THIS mod into it. I am using THIS TOOL.... Now I can successfully decompile my SystemUI.APK, but when I go to recompile it, nothing happens and there is nothing in the recompiled folder. Can someone help me out, it'd be much appreciated :good:
BTW I have a Sprint GS4 running a custom ROM (TouchWiz based) on Android 4.3.
Anyone?!
Hi everybody
I've used apktool V2.0.3 for decompiling and compiling my
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
SecSettings.apk
ClockPackage_Osup.apk
MultiWindowTrayService.apk
SecContacts_Phone_OSup.apk
SecMms_Candy.apk
SamsungMusic_20.apk
without any problem.
But now I want to make afew changes to "twframework-res.apk" and I'm getting a huge list of error while compiling this apk ( I posted the error log at end of the post)
I use twframework-res of two different rom but still getting the same error
I think it can not locate or read the Values folder when compiling because all those resource that Apktool claimed not there is actually there (all those value are present at "Colors" and "drawables" at "values" folder)
when I enter the hex color directly at "color" folder files, the error for colors at compiling disappeared but there are too much error at drawable for fixing manually
when I remove (( forced-package-id: '2' )) line from the "apktool.yml" file, apk compile ok with just a few error in "Style" but when I use this compiled apk on my phone it won't boot
does anybody have any idea how I can fix this issue because I really need to modify this apk file
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 on Lollipop 5.0 (Deodexed Rom)

Go here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333
I cant remember exactly, but you decompile with one apktool.jar and compile with a different one. There are like 5 different apktool.jar.
Try searching that thread.
