I used apktool to decompile framework-res.apk ( to fix htc network auto select for romporter). That part worked fine.
I used the command "apktool d -f framework-res.apk" and it gave me the folder, now I have edited it and trying to recompile it.
Am using the command "apktool b framework-res and nothing happens. (I don't know if it gives out any error, I don't see it). I don't get the apk. I know after I get the apk, I have to drag the meta-inf and androidmanifest from the old one, but I just can't get the apk.
So I wanna know, what am I doin wrong. And if there is any way to take a log of what goes wrong to submit here.

Google for an aapt.exe, found one uploaded about 2 months ago, replacing it in sysytem32, I still get the same error.
if it should be replaced elsewhere, where?
Else could you perhaps provide a link?

Hmmm....just a thought, why do people like using apktool when Tickle My Android can do a better job for modding???
i never got any problem using Tickle My Android cause its much easy to use without having to enter command for decompile, recompile & etc....
so why do people like to use apktool (beside Tickle My Android is for windows only) anyway????

One more reason, I am looking for a commandline tool, not a standalone one
@sandy7 will try it and repot
Don't forget to hit thanks
if you are editing just classes.dex, you can use Baksmali tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756953
ps. if you get classes, resources files and xml's in build folder, try to drag them to original apk.

Good day!
Guys is it possible that Xperia 2011 devices running ICS .431 can also have the on-screen buttons like the one in Samsung Google Nexus running ICS?
here:
{
"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"
}
I dont know if there is a thread or post here that correspond to mine, but I'll gladly appreciate someone that can point that thread to me. Im just curious about how this buttons looks like when put in Xperia devices. Thnaks in advance.
Long live XDA!
You should try GO Launcher EX, it's free on Play Store :B
Or maybe you would like to try MOAL

and copy it to system\framework and replace the existing framework-res.apk using x-plore or root explorer.. Reboot your phone.. Hope it works for you :good:

Many of us having problem with this SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
All of us can decompile it but some of us having problem in recompile it even if we didn't change anything.
We got that error everytime we try to recompile SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's why I want to make a TUTORIAL on How to Decomplie/Recompile SemcGenericUxpRes.apk :laugh:
My fixing method working for me, hope will be working for you all too. :fingers-crossed:
So here we go... :good:
What we need :
1. Any Decompiler/Recompiler Tool (in my case ApkTool)
2. Notepad++ (if you OS is windows)
3. Your SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
4. A Working Brain
5. Patience :silly:
==> First of all decompile your SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
ApkTool Command is :
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d SemcGenericUxpRes.apk SemcGenericUxpRes
==> Now goto SemcGenericUxpRes\res\values Folder
==> Now open Notepad++ and Type the below texts on that window
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<bool name="BDFreak">true</bool>
</resources>
It will be look like this...
==> Now save it with bools.xml name (in notepad++ goto File > Save As... than type bools.xml in file name and save it)
==> Now copy bools.xml file and paste it in SemcGenericUxpRes\res\values Folder
==> Now open public.xml file with notepad++ from SemcGenericUxpRes\res\values Folder
==> Find <public type="dimen" name="semc_tab_indicator_icon_max_height" id="0x02070016" /> line in public.xml file (in notepad++ goto Search > Find and type <public type="dimen" name="semc_tab_indicator_icon_max_height" id="0x02070016" /> and press Find Next Button)
==> Under the line type this line
Code:
<public type="bool" name="BDFreak" id="0x02080000" />
It will be look like this...
==> Now save public.xml file
==> Now try to recompile your SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, it will be recompiled without any error
ApkTool Command is :
Code:
apktool b SemcGenericUxpRes SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
==> Whoaaaaa! You did it man, CONGRATULATION!!! :good:

I found many thread about recompile problem of SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, but i didn't get any good solution.
Thtat's why I post this thread...
An easier thing would be to just delete the public.xml instead of modifying it. IT will be regenerated during recompiling of the apk. Saves you from unfortunate errors.

You need to change framework.jar and framework-res.apk. Firstly decompile them. (And don't forget to install right frameworks to apktool!)
1) Remove Sony's method
Do these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943855
2) framework-res part
- Download "semc_bg_new.zip" and extract file to drawable folder.
- Open values/public.xml and define "semc_bg_new" as drawable, first unused id is 0x01080903 in most framework but if you're using modded framework it may differ. So if apktool gives error, try increasing it one by one. (if you reached to 0x01080909 and there is an error still, begin from 0x0108090a and try a,b,c,d,e,f)
- Open values/styles.xml, search "semc_bg" and change it with;
Code:
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/semc_bg_new</item>
- Compile. And don't forget signatures.
3) framework.jar part
- Download "framework stuff" attachment, extract, put to decompiled framework.jar and compile.
Enjoy. And don't forget me =)
Thanks ! I needed that

i dnt understand dis mod.
normally if you try to edit framework-res phone won't open on xperia ics fw's. there is a fix for this but you have to remove theme backgound(for example settings background) to make it work. But with my trick you can edit framework-res as you want.

okies... i guess i ll need dis when editing for JB FW!!!!
but is step 1 still gonna be used; remove sony stuff!!!
there is no theme background in jb, you can't use =D
i mean sony's background locating method by 'sony's method' and you must do it. but after my method you won't lose anything.

You're doing somethings wrong. Did you install frameworks to apktool? And can you try compiling after first stage?

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Why in landscape there is an old GB background? This goes for every theme. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks in advance

@Patrol619
I helped with theme dependent things, but he fixed backgrounds himself.
You can fix it via moving some images to framework-res from SemcGenericUxpRes. (probably drawable-land folder)
Hello devs ,
i want to ask u if i want to change any thing in framework-res.apk which file should i edit ?

Hmmm...decompile framework-res.apk first before you can edit any xml files using Notepad++....if you don't decompile it then you will see those kind of xml like on your screenshot....
for compiling and decompiling you better use TickleMyAndroid....its good for beginner or even expert user cause its the most easy tool to use....

2. Decompile it and open strings.xml from /res/valuest/here
3. Find this line : <string name="battery_low_title">Please connect charger</string>
4. And change bold and italic one with your wisdom word :laugh: here for example
Code:
<string name="battery_low_title">Charge Me Idiot!!</string>
5. And then Find this line : <string name="battery_low_subtitle">The battery is getting low:</string>
6. Change again with your wisdom word, here for example :
Code:
<string name="battery_low_subtitle">My Energy is fvckin low</string>
7. Then find again this line : <string name="battery_low_percent_format">%d%% or less remaining.</string>
8. Change it with your another wisdom word, ex :
Code:
<string name="battery_low_percent_format">%d%% left before die.</string>
9. Save it
C. Explanation :
1. Open /res/drawable-mdpi/here and find battery_low_battery.png
2. Replace it with your *.png file REMEMBER! file must *.png with the resolution that matches the file that you replace.
3. Save and compile it then push to /system/app
Note:
Backup your SystemUI.apk before you do this

After you have edited and recompiled the apk, then open the original apk and the edited one (ex using WinRAR), then delete "resources" and "res" from the original apk, and move the "resources" and "res" from the edited apk to the original apk. Now try it.

battery low notification replacement problem
Hi Everyone,
Can any body help me changing Noir A8 battery low sound.
I replaced the Battery low.ogg file with another one having same Name and Extension as .ogg in System/media/audio/ui and set the permission same as original using Root Explorer and restart the phone but still i noted original sound not the one which I want.
Orignal sound is not present in System/media/audio/ui but the new one and heard the old sound when battery goes low .
PLZ Tell how to change ? Thnx
