Signing
Before using the new apk you will need to sign it, to do this you need to extract (open the apk and simply drag and drop them to the dist folder) from the original apk the resources.arsc (only if you haven't changed anything in the values folder, the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder (if it exists), then copy them into the new apk. In WinRar it will give you the option to choose the compression method, and it's vital that you choose Store as the compression method because if you don't then you WILL BOOT LOOP after restarting your Phone!

NOTE: If you have edited anything in the values folder then extract the resources.arsc from the new apk and copy (drag and drop) it back in the same manner described above.
Alternatively you can use the following command...
Code:
[B]java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8[/B] framework-res.apk.apk framework-resS.apk
...notice the extra "S", the output name has to differ from the input name otherwise it will give an error, if done right it will create a new apk called framework-resS.apk, just remember to rename it back to the original before using it on your Phone.

First of all I'm not sure why you've edited that and not the styles.xml, and even if you have edited the manifest then the principles are the same, extract it from the new apk then drag and drop it back.

Why don't you just use 7zip? I always ran into that problem so I just use 7z now

But I want to edit some xml's, so I need to decompile it!
You can try using APK Multitool. I've never had a problem with it.
It doesn't work. Everytime the same errors.
Maybe something with my java jdk isn't ok?
Possibly, make sure you have the latest version and that it is in your PATH.
I have the latest jdk, sdk and apktool/apkmanager and the PATH in the control panel is set correctly.
I can decompile all apks except the SystemUI files.
check path easyli with tipping "javac" in cmd
When I type javac in cmd, there comes an error.
What I have to do now?
Delete the file below and try to decompile again
C:\Users\Felix\apktool\framework\1.apk
Thank you very much, that was the solution!!!

im having the same issue decompiling systemui.apk. i have tried everything and still no luck. i tried deleting the framework and reinstalling it prior to decompiling with the apktool i have tried downloading the framework files directly from offline and use them but still no luck so i really dont think there is a problem with the framework in my situation. my java is ok i checked it everything is installed correctly. i have tried apktool apkmanager apk mulittool fjapktool nothing is working everything does the same thing. the only difference that i have though is im running linux instead of windows but most of these tools have their own linux versions anyways so i really dont see that as a issue.
does anyone out there know how to customize xml files the old fashion way before apktools was developed?? how to you convert the xml files so they can be adjusted because if you just extract the xml file without decompiling it the code is partly binary so any ideas on how to customize them without apktools??
same here with my huawei SystemUI.apk jb 4.1.2. But Im just wondering why SystemUI.apk from Huawei G510 and P1 I was able to decompile successfully. Whats the problem?

Help me please.At least i want to do this...
Sorry if i opened the thread in to wrong section but this thing is about developing so..
Have a nice day to all people!
Just typed this earlier in another post but I think it applies with the Setting.apk also. Your framework files will be different, but hopefully it helps you..
NOTE: For all of the above you will need to set the framework for apktool before you will be able to de/recompile apks.
-Drop copies of framework-res.apk, moto-res.apk, blur-res.apk, and SystemUI.apk into the same folder as apktool (with APK Manager it's the "other" folder)
-Open the command prompt on the folder where apktool is (by right-clicking or holding Shift and right-clicking)
-Type the following for each apk in the command prompt:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
-Hit enter
Code:
apktool if moto-res.apk
-Hit enter, and do the same for the other two apks
-Now you should have no de/recompiling problems (well I shouldn't say no... watch them .9.pngs and check the log for errors)

Some time ago I was using Kamarush's MiniCMSandwich and I make background white... See values folder in decompiled SystemUI.apk and drawable-mdpi folder for background image (don't remember if it was just color or image).

When you say you unpacked it, did you actually decompile the apk file or just unzip it?

My original Framework-res.apk = 21mb
The new Framework-res.apk = 15mb
I have no idea what happens now
It is compressed that's all.
You can try ziping all the file in build folder with 0 compression.

and how I can do that?
or I can use that file directly without problem?
In build folder,you will have apk folder.
This is how do it to with winrar
Select those files in apk folder -> Right Click -> Add to archive
Archive format zip
Compression method -> store
Ok.
Then rename extension of that archive to .apk.
Copy Meta-Inf and AndroidManifest.xml from orignal apk to new one.

I am using stock ics 4.1.b.0,587. So to compile you have to use following tools.
Files Required:
framework-res.apk
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
SystemUI.apk
Note that you type correctly in command prompt window.
Softwares Required:
ThemeTool

Our files are added to system.
Now we will use apkmanager to decompile and edit apks and then again compile/build apks.
Open Script window from apk manager.
Enter 22
Select your current project i.e 1 (for framework-res.apk)
Enter 9
It will decompile Framework-res.apk
repeat above for other two apks.
Now we have to edit our decompiled files that are present in project folder.
Select any folder i.e systemui.apk
then edit as you like.
Now See that your current project is set to the one you are modding.
Enter 11 to build apk
Enter y & y....
After that a keep folder will be created by apkmanager ....delete files that you have replaced(i.e original files are shown ,delete them .dont delete any xml file you edited,only delete icons,images etc & also delete resources.arsc from keep folder)
Press Enter.
All done.
Your new apk will be named as UnsignedSystemUI.apk..Note that dont sign or anything else for system apks. otherwise you will get problem i.e bootloop or other.
Copy your apk to sdcard and move to system/app....set permissions.
Reboot & enjoy.
For framework files,if you moded,do adbpush.
Hit thanx if i helped you.
