Please Suggest us If you need any guide & we will try to post it If we actually can. Also If you find our guides useful then support us my giving feedback, hitting thanks & adding in credits section "
1st Let's start with [How to decompile & recompile with Apk Multitool]:
*Requirements*
Latest Java
Latest JDK+JRE (get everything from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
Apk Multi Tool (Download from attachment)
Steps
1. Unzip Apk Multi Tool into a folder
2. Now run Setup.bat. It will look like this
{
"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"
}
3. Now choose 3. Setup Directories & press enter
4. This will create the folders needed. It will look like this
5. Now place the apk you want to decompile in place-apk-here-for-modding
6. Place a framework-res.apk, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk & SystemUI.apk in other folder. Preferebly it should be from the same package of apk/same apks of a Rom which you placed in the place-apk-here-for-modding folder. If there is no corresponding apks then you can try with other framework & systemUI apks also.
7. Now again run Setup.bat & press enter & choose 2. Installing Framework-Res. It will look like this
8. Now choose option 1 & enter to install framework & again option 4 & enter to install SystemUI
9. Now run Script.bat & press enter to activate various menu. Choose option 9 to decompile the apk. Then press enter. It will look like this
10. Once decompile is complete close the script & go to projects folder
11. Do the necessary changes you want to
12. When editing is done again run Script.bat
13. Choose option 11 to recompile & press enter. It will prompt a message after sometimes, Aside from the signatures....of errors (y/n)
14. Input y & press enter
15. Now after sometimes, it will again ask you to delete everything you have modified from keep folder & also delete resources.arsc if you have modified any xml. Minimize the script, delete the xml(s) you have modified (other than from values folder, it won't appear in keep folder) & also resources.arsc. If you have modified any png (not added) then delete it too. Then press enter when you are ready.
16. Now your new apk is ready. You can find it in place-apk-here-for-modding folder. Note that, your original apk will also be in the same folder with original name. Your modified apk will have System_ attached in the name.
17. Copy it to some other place & rename to original apk name & enjoy.
18. When you want to work on the next project then delete everything from place-apk-here-for-modding & projects folder. Now follow the same steps again from Number 5 of this guide.
[How to decompile & recompile Jar Files]:
*Requirements*
Winrar/7zip
Deodexed Jar files
smali.jar
baksmali.jar (both are in the attachment)
Command Prompt/Terminal
0. Take the classes.dex from jar file by opening it with 7zip/Winrar.
1. Open a new folder in Desktop named suppose "Jar"
2. Place smali.jar & baksmali.jar in the folder
2. Open Command Prompt. On windows type cmd in Run
3. cd to your directory where you have opened the new folder. In my case it is
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop\Jar
4. Write
Code:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop\Jar
& press enter. Note that, on your case the directory will be different from mines. So get the correct directory by going into that directory from C:
5. Now type this to Decompile. Note that, there is a "space" before "classes.dex"
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout\ classes.dex
& press enter
6. When Decompiling is done there will a folder named "classout" be placed in Jar folder. Minimize the cmd.
7. Now make the necessary changes inside the classout folder
8. When done,type this to recompile & press enter. Remember, there is a "space" before "new-classes.dex"
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout\ -o new-classes.dex
9. When recompiling is done there will be a new file in the folder named "new-classes.dex"
10. Now rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex & put it in the jar file with 7zip/Winrar
..............That's All. Thank You.................

Welcome
Press thanks if you like my work/advice
@saqib nazm, it would be good if you add tut on how to recompile apks after making changes in androidmanifest.xml.. Because I have observed it gives bootloops.. As signing of apps just puts meta inf and doesn't do anything to androidmanifest.. Just a suggestion..

I suggested you to install the proper framework files to decompile miui stuffs properly, though this thread is for compiling & decompiling with apk multi tool,not how to center clock on miui I beg your pardon? & I didn't say anything else because sandy already directed you to a guide, that's probably I would also gonna do If I were in the 1st place like sandy replied. You cannot say words which can hurt other people. Cause If I would know how to "Center clock on miui" I would open a thread with that guide,isn't it?
First of all,Thank you for work but I have a lot of problems.Can you help me about thats? I did everything step by step.No problems with 1 to 6 steps.I placed the apk place-apk-here-for-modding and I placed a framework-res.apk, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk & SystemUI.apk in other folder.
After that,in step 7&8,when I choose option 1 & enter to install framework & again option 4 & enter to install SystemUI,I get this screens
So,in step 9,Run Script.bat & press enter to activate various menü choose option 9 to decompile the apk. Then press enter,I get errors like this
And so,projects folder is empty.What is the problem and what can I do?

that could be a problem with that apk, you cannot decompile it. If you have done all the steps properly as you said can you try with any other apk? so to be sure if that's the problem with that apk

IMPORTANT - APK decompilation is needed only when you are going to edit some xml's or other stuff. If you want edit or replace png's, you need to extract the apk instead of decompiling it.
If you want to extract an apk for theming, read this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665674
1) Download apkmanager ( http://www.apkmultitool.com/?q=node/5 ) and install it.
2) Put the apk you want to decompile in 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder.
3) Double click on 'script'
4) Ignore the 'adb not found' command and press enter
5) Type 22 i.e. 'set current project' and press enter.
6) Type 1 and press enter
7) Type 9 and press enter to decompile apk.
8) Wait until the decompilation finishes.
9) Minimize command line and go to projects -> filename.apk -> make the required changes
10) Switch back to command-line, type 11 and press enter.
11) After sometime you'll get a message 'is this a system apk?', type y and press enter.
12) You'll get another message 'aside from......... of errors', type y and press enter.
13) Wait until you get this message - 'In the apk manager.... this script' , dont do anything, minimize command-line, go to keep folder and delete resources.arsc
14) Switch back to command-line and press enter.
15) Wait until the command-line comes back to its initial look.
16) Go to 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder, your new file will be unsignedfilename.apk
Read step 17 if you have modded framework-res.apk, otherwise skip it.
17) Open framework-res.apk and unsignedframework-res.apk using 7-zip or winrar or any other archive manager. Drag and drop resources.arsc from unsignedframework-res.apk into framework-res.apk (do not extract them, just open them using any archive manager and do the drag-drop stuff)
18) Copy the file to SD card, rename it and remove 'unsigned' from file's name.
19) Push the file to original folder using root explorer and set proper permissions.
EG - If you modded framework-res.apk, push your old file ( first move resources.arsc from new to old framework and then move the old framework) to /system folder. Set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move the file to /system/framework folder.
PS - Make a nandroid backup before doing this if you modded framework.

+1
when you edit .9.png (I'm using Photoshop CS5)
after flatten image & save for existing image, it not save with .9.png.
for example:
filename.9.png it will be save to filename.png.
you must manually put .9.png

I know its better. Even I use apktool. But many people think apktool is confusing and they cant understand how to go about this decompiling and compiling stuff. That's why I wrote this guide so that people who cant understand apktool can try APKmanager
I am thinking of writing an apktool guide also

Hey guys, finally I started successfully using Xperia Sola apks on my Xperia arc stock 42 rooted phone..
Tested on Xperia arc(Sola apks), LWW(Sola,Go apks both) and must work on other devices too.
UPDATED GUIDE:
Note: When u did all steps if you still dont have a working lockscreen just try going for Xperia Go apks and android.policy.jar of Xperia Go!
I dont share a flashable zip file because I use Xperia arc, you use Neo, LWW etc.. This is a guide for you to make yourselves.
- First download the FILES.rar which includes all necessarily files,on the link.
http://www.mediafire.com/?obrb493z1x4ayza
- On the phone, go to system/framework and copy android.policy.jar to your desktop.
In pack, I added baksmali-smali folder/files for you to edit your classes.dex file of android.policy.jar
1- Open your android.policy.jar file with 7zip (right click-7zip-open archive) and then drag&drop classes.dex file to BAKSMALI-SMALI folder.
2- Run CMD in that folder and write this code and enter >> java -jar baksmali-1.3.3.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
Classout folder must be generated. Go to BAKSMALI-SMALI\classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl
3- Copy ExternalLockScreen.smali and LockPatternKeyguardView.smali files which are in MY FILES.RAR pack , inside ../impl folder. (LockPatternKeyguardView will overwrite)
4- Delete classes.dex file in BAKSMALI-SMALI folder and run CMD again and write this code and enter again>> java -jar smali-1.3.3.jar classout -o classes.dex
5- Now your new classes.dex file is ready. just open archive your android.policy.jar file with 7zip again and drag&drop new classes.dex in it..
-Second you will find Xperia_Sola_app_files folder in FILES.RAR pack. It includes Xperia Sola Settngs.apk and UxpNxtLockScreen.apk files.
Normally just copy these files to system if you use root explorer, set permissions & move system/app folder and android.policy.jar to framework folder. reboot and All done! Alternative way is Android Commander PC programme.
>> But I dont suggest you to use Settings.apk of Xperia Sola. It has bug on brightness. best way is decompiling your own Settings.apk with apk manager/tool (best working Wanam's apk manager ICS on GB) and adding lines from Xperia Sola Settings.apk display settings to your own apk. Sorry I don't have much time to explain editing XML on apk manager /compiling/ decompiling it..
If all is ok here is the picture ;
{
"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"
}
If it doesn't work; u must edit your framework-res.apk (/system/framework/framework-res.apk)
These are quoted from Sudanminipro's topic which is here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837501
a)DECOMPILE your framework-res.apk
b)Add this line to the AndroidManifest.xml >> <permission android:label="@string/permlab_external_lockscreen" android:name="com.sonyericsson.permission.EXTERNAL_LOCKSCREEN" androidrotectionLevel="signatureOrSystem" android:description="@string/permdesc_external_lockscreen" />
c)Add these lines to the end of the strings.xml (/res/values/strings.xml) >>
<string name="permlab_external_lockscreen">You May Write Anything Here</string>
<string name="permdesc_external_lockscreen"> You May Write Anything Here </string>
d)Add these to the end of string names in public.xml (/res/values/public.xml) >> <public type="string" name="permlab_external_lockscreen" id="0xXXXXXXXX" />
<public type="string" name="permdesc_external_lockscreen" id="0xXXXXXXXX" />
the important thing is XXXXXXXX hex codes should be written in a way as a continuation of the codes that was above..
0x0104051b,0x0104051c for example..
e)RECOMPILE. Thats it.

Bugs:
- Settings.apk Lockscreen menu allows you to change your lockscreen wallpaper but it has low quality.
Bugfix: go into Settings.apk display settings and Lockscreen control, select a new wallpaper, then on computer find a wallpaper which u want to use and set pixels and save it as named wallpaper.PNG . On the phone go into data/data/com/sonyericsson.uxplockscreen folder and copy wallpaper.png inside it.. finally just try a few time screenoff&on.. Must be ok.
- Facebook notifications don't work!
- Don't work on landscape mode!
- You tell me more..
I'm not a developer, just modding my Xperia arc.. If any developers can help for these bugs, that will be great..
Cheers! If this is helpful for you please use thanks button.
Special thanx to Orochixxx for .smali file names and Sola system folder..
then all must be ok. Thanks & Regards AeonWorld for his tutorial and Sudanminipro for their work..

"To where I must copy classes.dex file ( what folder ) ?, And I cannot run java -jar baksmali-1.3.3.jar -o classout/ classes.dex ( it said unable to..............)
I will try this today, thought I never decompiled anything...we need a developer to make flashable .zip for this :/ ... at least I'll learn something new xD.
Using back smali and smali is a complicated method, instead of that you guys can use x10modtool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842060 to decompile and recompile android.policy.jar

No classes.dex in my android.policy.jar??? Can anyone post a screenshot of their decompiled android.policy.jar folder?
I only see bunch of .smali files in that .jar ... Edit: works with winrar, that x10modtool won't work with classes.dex, but thx anyway
EDIT: Dude... no way... where to put that externallockscreen.smali and other file... in classes.dex? in baksmali-1.3.3.jar? How? Please update the tutorial, I want this lockscreen.
And me too...
topic updated..
Can we port the ics lockscreen with shortcuts on lockscreen....?????can we do it in gb with shortcuts on lockscreen..????
If I could post my framework-res.apk here, coukd any of you decompile it, add those lines p is a p), recompile and post it back here. I'm having a problem recompiling the framework-res.apk with the x10modtool posted earlier.
Thanks

Me too, if I click recompile it makes a new folder in "rec" folder but it is empty...
Erhany, please, do me a favour....
I'm giving you my classes.dex from android.policy.jar, and 2 smali files from your pack (to make it easier for you ).
Why?
Because classout folder doesn't show up after the first command and I can't edit classes.dex ... I guess this is an easy step to you because it is working for you. So please edit it for me and reupload here, this mod is killing me :crying:
Other steps are easier, but if it comes to recompiling framework-res, I quit .
This mod never work
Maybe there is one more needed file that is missing
framework-res.apk,
android.policy.jar,
UxpNxtLockScreen.apk,
Settings.apk,
framework.jar (tryed it but nothing)
But the old lock screen is still there?
maybe we need a lib file?
XMP 2.3.4.....58

FAQ'sWhy can't we use Apktool???
Well, you can, but it's more difficult, that's it.
Why do you say "must use 1.4.1 apktool version"??
The reason why is that since 1.4.2 version, apktool generate java code while recompiling process is going on, and this lead to errors that 9/10 makes decompile process fail
good job my friend.
One little suggestion to add.
if you install jdk leaving its custom destination directory you might get "java not found" error (even if there's the jdk file in system32 folder).
To solve this (on win 7) you need to:
- open start menu and type system in search bar
- Select "advanced system settings" from menu on the left
- Open the "system variables" on the bottom of the page
- Go to the PATH value and add the path to the jdk bin folder
- Create a new variable named JAVA_HOME and give it the same path as above.
Cheers.

While i have apktool 1.5 by iBotpeaches , nothing is wrong with that.Im saying that because ibotpeaches is actively developing apktool. Its faster to get updates from him. Autoapktool may still need to wait for source codes from ibotpeaches not trying to spoil your thread. Just siggesting you to add one more additional info.
And there are just simple codes. I suggest you to add them too. Its just a framework code. And two commonly used codes to decompile and recompile. And yes i do know the codes. Hard to even forget.
Personally i make batch files for commonly decompiled apk for faster decompiling.

Trying to use your tool here, but when I try to recompile - #7 - I get this:
[*] C:\auto-apk\AutoAPKTool2.0.4\_INPUT_APK\AngryBirdsSeason
recompiling C:\auto-apk\AutoAPKTool2.0.4\_INPUT_APK\AngryBirdsSeason...
I: Smaling...
I: Building resources...
I: Copying libs...
I: Building apk file...
The system cannot find the drive specified.
I followed your instructions closely, though when I ran the decompile and hit return after dragging and dropping the .apk onto the Command window, it showed the whole path to the .apk file; I hit return, and the word "test" came up. The decompile went well - the Notepad popped up and all that - but then after I edited one .png file and went to recompile, I couldn't drag the folder onto the Command window, so I had to kill the notepad and the Command window and restart, in order to select #7. That's when I got the above error.
Any ideas here? Win 8, 64-bit, BTW. Java 1.6.0.4
Thanks! My ONLY goal is to make hi-res icons for my Kindle Fire HD, 7". If you know a simpler way, I'd love to hear it!

So, i learnt how to make my MIUI rom out of this tutorial (all credits to sandy7), but with time the tut got old due to some bugs in miui rom, and if you use that, the rom will probably boot but with some bugs like reboots, launcher fc, etc etc. So i will make a complete guide including the tutorial by sandy with the additional files to make a fully working MIUI rom. Enjoy!

[SIZE="3"][FONT="System"][COLOR="Red"][I][B]*I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your device, however i will provide full support.[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
The basics!
Things you'll need
Notepad++ - the notepad we will use to edit basically all files. Normal one won't work so don't even think about it
Base LT18i MIUI rom we will use this to get apps, fonts, etc
7-zip used to rebuild the rom
APKTool used to install apks in the PC so you won't get errors decompiling
ApkManager used to decompile and build apks
base MIUI rom! this is the base, i already fixed some bugs on it and deleted stuff
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let's get started with this!
1-Unrar the MIUI base rom i gave up in some folder you like, and open the lt18i one with winrar or 7zip.
2-Copy the folders app, fonts, framework and media from the LT18i ROM to the MIUI base. Don't worry if it doesn't ask you to replace anything. Delete SemcHdmiControlService.apk in miui base after copying
3-Open lib folders in both base and lt18i, and copy this from lt18i to base:
content-types.properties
liblbesec.so
liblocSDK_2.5OEM.so
libshell.so
libshell_jni.so
libshellservice.so
4-Open etc folders, and do the same as step 3 but with these files:
yellowpage.db
telocation.td
5-Open permissions foder in /etc, and same as step 3 with these files:
miui-framework.xml
com.google.android.media.effects.xml
com.google.widevine.software.drm.xml
com.google.android.maps.xml
6-Open xbin in both base and lt18i, and copy from lt18i to base:
shelld
Build.prop mods! Make your own!
In MIUI base, there's a folder named dev. If you don't know what that is, i'll try to give you a brief explanation: there are 4 xperia mdpis. In order to make a ROM that works on all of them with aroma, you need some files they require (like camera lib files) that are flashed right after the rom. There are 4 build.props in total, each in one dev folder, you can edit all or just the one that suits your phone, if rom is for personal use.
Open the build.prop you want, and edit the red lines with whatever you want:
Code:
ro.build.id=[COLOR="Red"]4.1.B.0.587[/COLOR]
ro.build.display.id=[COLOR="red"]MIUIAndroid 3.1.18[/COLOR]
ro.build.version.incremental=[COLOR="red"]3.1.18[/COLOR]
ro.rommanager.developerid=[COLOR="red"]miuiandroid[/COLOR]
ro.modversion=[COLOR="red"]MIUIAndroid-3.1.18-EN-WT19i[/COLOR]
ro.goo.rom=[COLOR="red"]MIUIAndroid-EN-WT19i[/COLOR]
Note: after ## Project Fluid™ ## in build.prop, you can delete everything, those are tweaks i forgot to remove, you just delete them and add the ones you like
Decompiling! Take that stupid black bar!
First of all, you need to install 3 files in order to make this work. Search for this files in /framework (MIUI base rom, not lt18i) and move them to apktool folder:
framework-res.apk
framework-miui-res.apk
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
1-Shift-Right-click any blank space in APKTool folder, and click "Open command window here"
2-Copy and paste these 3 lines separed by enter (copy one, press enter, copy another, blabla):
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if framework-miui-res.apk
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Disabling auto-brightness and make the leds work
1-Copy framework-res.apk from miui base to apkmanager folder called place-apk-here-for-modding and open Script.bat
2-In the script, select 22, then select framework-res.apk, and then select 9 (decompile apk)
3-Once it's done, go to projects folder in apkmanager, open framework-res.apk, and go to res/values/bools.xml (right click, edit with notepad++)
4-Change this line:
Code:
<bool name="config_automatic_brightness_available">[COLOR="Red"]true[/COLOR]</bool>
to this:
Code:
<bool name="config_automatic_brightness_available">[COLOR="red"]false[/COLOR]</bool>
5-Go back to script.bat and choose option 11 (build apk)
It will ask "Is this a system app?" say yes to that
Then it'll ask "Do you wanna copy over any additional content..." say no to that
And we're done with framework-res.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remove SystemUI black bar
1-Copy MiuiSystemUi.apk from miui base to apkmanager folder called place-apk-here-for-modding and open Script.bat
2-In the script, select 22, then select MiuiSystemUi.apk, and then select 9 (decompile apk)
3-Once it's done, go to projects folder in apkmanager, open MiuiSystemUi.apk, and go to res/values/drawables.xml (right click, edit with notepad++)
4-Delete this line:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_header_bg">#ff000000</item>
5-Go back to script.bat and choose option 11 (build apk)
It will ask "Is this a system app?" say yes to that
Then it'll ask "Do you wanna copy over any additional content..." say yes to that
It will pop-up a dialog, DO NOT PRESS ENTER!, go to keep folder in apkmanager and delete resources.arsc. Now, go to script.bat and press enter. Recompiling is done with no errors
And we're done with black bar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
META-INF changing! Your ROM, not mine!
1-Go to META-INF/com/google/android and open aroma-config with notepad++
2-Edit these lines adding anything you want:
Code:
ini_set("rom_name", "[COLOR="Red"]MIUIv4[/COLOR]");
ini_set("rom_version", "[COLOR="red"]3.1.18[/COLOR]");
ini_set("rom_author", "[COLOR="red"]anerik[/COLOR]");
ini_set("rom_device", "[COLOR="red"]Xperia MDPI[/COLOR]");
ini_set("rom_date", "[COLOR="red"]18 jan 2013[/COLOR]");
3-Go to META-INF/com/google/android/aroma and open changelog.txt, write anything you want.
Now you have everything setted up, select all 4 folders and make a zip out of it with 7-zip. This will be 100% clean MIUI, in the next posts (tomorrow, sleep time now) i will add more addons like scripts, supercharger, etc! Just flash the ROM, it should boot fine, no launcher FC, no themes working bad, nothing.

Bad keyboard!
-Yes, i forgot to replace keyboard. To fix:
1-Go to /system/app delete LatinImeGoogle.apk
2-Download this or any keyboard you like, and flash it or just unpack it on your ROM. Don't forget to hit thanks to the autor.
No wi-fi!
-This might just be kernel problem, but in any case, here are the modules, just unpack and copy folder lib to your system folder, replace if asked. Then flash
FC's!
-Kernel problem, i am unable to fix since i am on stock with locked bl. Just change your kernel
When i switch bluetooth on, bootloop?
-I believe kernel problem aswell, tested that a hundred times with no bootloop, stock talking.

PREFACE
Hello guys, first of all I want to say thanks to all the real developers (and not just rom-modder like me) that are here, helping us to get better performance and features everyday, so thanks to FXP, CosmicDan, DooMLorD, wedgess, smokerman, krisdee, Spizzy, Keiran, fareneith, Pizza_Dox, Bakisha, and many, many others.
This guide is intended for those who want to make some mods, for example touchpads fix to their rom, and it's not too hard to understand how to do it (we will just use an IDE to achieve that, so it'll be pretty simple).
Let's start!

DECOMPILING .APK AND .JAR FILES
without custom framework
Make sure you have installed NetFramework 4.5,
if not download it from here and then install ;
You can now install Virtuous Ten Studio (VTS):
download it from here and follow the passages to install it ;
Run VTS (you could easily find it under Start) ;
Now you can create a new Project:
simply click on File (on the left top) and select New Project ;
Projects can be of 4 kinds: apk, jar, m10 and boot.
Select apk if you want to edit an apk; select jar if you want to edit a jar ;
Compile the fields on the bottom (Solution and Project name) ;
Wait for VTS to create the folders...;
Now you can import the file you want to edit:
simply right-click on the project you have created (you can find it under Solution Explorer bar, on the left)
and select Import File, then find and select the file you want to edit ;
Here we go! VTS will now decompile our file, and when it finishes,
Solution Explorer bar will be updated to show you what your file contains (smali files and whatever) ;
Now you can make every modification you want to do;
When you have finished, you can recompile that file by right-clicking your project and selecting Build Project:
you can easily find your modded file, just click Binary (under Home tab on the top) and select your file project name;
Here we are! If you've got some questions, just ask here!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECOMPILING .APK FILES
with custom framework
first of all, you must know what to do: just take a look at the guide above and follow the steps (from 1 to 7) ;
now you must take the custom resources needed from the apk you want to decompile to work (that resources file is another apk, generally located under /system/framework and its name contains always something like Res or Resources - for example SemcGenericUxpRes -) then place it wherever you want ;
once you've done that you can create your project (DON'T import now the app you want to modify, because you'll get errors related to missing resources) and set-up a custom framework: just right-click on your project and go under Properties ;
find External tools on the left and click on apktool: select Add single framework, import the custom-resources apk that you took from your rom ( see first step ) and set a Tag (the name you want to assign to that file) ;
now you must select that framework to be used instead of the default one: right-click on your project and go under properties; here you can find a selector called Framework tag: select the one you've just setted ;
that's it! Now you can import your custom-framework-based apk ( if you don't know how just take a look at the guide above - step 8 ) .

try using an older version of VTS, but I can't promise anything
it's clearly related to missing binary, and that's strange. does this happen just with that specific apk, or with all of them?
And keep in mind that you're decompiling an apk with a custom framework, so before you can decompile it, you must add its resources by right-clicking on your project, selecting properties, going under External tools and clicking on Apktool, selecting Add single framework (here you must place your resources apk file: it's generally located under /system/framework folder of your rom - the rom from which you're taking the apk you're modifing - it's something having for name SonyResources or something like that).
Then you must set that framework to be used instead of the "stock" one by right-clicking on your project and going under properties; here you can find a selector called Framework tag: select the one you've just placed in.

And keep in mind that you're decompiling an apk with a custom framework, so before you can decompile it, you must add its resources by right-clicking on your project, selecting properties, going under External tools and clicking on Apktool, selecting Add single framework (here you must place your resources apk file: it's generally located under /system/framework folder of your rom - the rom from which you're taking the apk you're modifing - it's something having for name SonyResources or something like that).
Then you must set that framework to be used instead of the "stock" one by right-clicking on your project and going under properties; here you can find a selector called Framework tag: select the one you've just placed in.
