I would say the same thing, with a side note that while warnings are often dismissed because you can still compile and it MAY work, they are there for a reason. In this case, as far as I see, there are missing translations. It may or may not be pertinent, but it should be dismissed upon inspection, not upon realizing that "it compiles".

Greetings XDA, Im new here and i need some help regarding apk multi tool.. Ive searched the forums but i couldnt find any suitable answers
So I am trying to decompile the framework-res.apk and edit the styles.xml in values folder .. but everytime i compile it back and push it to my sytem/framework, and restart my phone bootloops..
this happens even if i donot mod anything in the apk and just decompile - recompile - push..
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
You have to sign the APK after you decompile!
Follow This Page for more instructions on how to sign APK's.

This is wrong. Never sign a system framework file. You only sign user apps and a very small number of system apps.
What changes are you making? For what OS?

ohhk! It happened to me as well and someone told me its because I haven't signed the APK.
Anyways, Thanks for correcting me
Try by making compression level to 0 and heap size to 512
This solved my problem though.
Also be sure that u don't get any errors while compiling the apk.
Hit thanks if helped
I can't even get it to compile!

Hi guys !
I'm having a problem recompiling the systemui.apk, i'm modding some .xml files and everything goes fine, it recompiles ok but when i push it to my phone there's no change i decompile the modified apk and the xml files aren't change either it's like i didn't change anything from them.
Every single time a recompile an apk it goes back to normal
Does anyone else has that problem or is just me , and does someone knows how can i fix that problem?
INFO :
Windows 8 pro
Using : Apktool , Auto apktool and tickle my android (in all of them i get that same problem)
Thanks in advance, regards

Already read it and that's what i've been doing, and like i said the changes aren't saved. Every time i delete o put some codes in the xml file with notepad++ i save them but after i recompile the apk i decompile it again to check if everything's alright but the files look like the original ones.

Yep, the recompile goes ok. I wanna change the toggle icons and wanna move the icons in the status bar.
And actually ticklefish already help me with that and when i push it nothing happen either, so i don't think it's a prob with win8 cuz before i didn't had that problem, it started this week
The systemUi is from honami i1 rom from aneel, i already install the framework from the rom.

Ill start with my story...I want to modify settings.apk and put a few of my own apps in and change the appearance a little bit. I decompile with apk manager and i get res, smali, and AndroidManifest.xml. I don't get apktool.yml, i dont have a problem with this with a jb 4.3 settings.apk. I try to re-compile after edits but I can't because of the missing yml file. Does settings.apk for 4.4 have dependencies I require? Im running slimkat 4.4 for the SGH-T889. I just began learning and find this new world very intresting. Any help, tips, and advice would be amazing! Thank you for time

I have place framework-res.apk in C:\Users\Droid\Desktop\APK-Multi-Tool\other folder. I took it out of the framework folder of the un zipped ROM. This seems to work with 4.3 without a problem. I'm stumped haha

You need to install it before decompiling.
I suggest you to use "Android Multitool" (Do not confuse with APK Multitool).
It has nice GUI insterface.
Try with it.
There is menu to install framework.

See these are why tools like APKMulitool are not that friendly.. My suggestion to you is Google "apktool" find the Google developers site, download it.. Place all files in folder on C:\ and name it apktool..open cmd prompt at that destination..so it would be C:\apktool, then type in cmd prompt:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
this installs the framework..
To decompile apk..place that apk in that folder then type in cmd prompt
Code:
apktool d settings.apk
to recompile..
Code:
apktool b settings

Hi there,
sorry for warming up this thread. I don't find the Settings.apk:
C:\Program Files\_Android\SDK\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
59973133 device
C:\Program Files\_Android\SDK\platform-tools>adb pull /system/app/Settings.apk
remote object '/system/app/Settings.apk' does not exist​
So the device (Kyocera KC-S701 unrooted) seems to be connected, but no Settings.apk. Also not when using "adb shell" with "cd system/app" + ls.
A bunch of files but no Settings.apk.
Any ideas?

Hmm seems weird.. It's like it needs certain framework to pull the correct public ids.. is this a system app? Or what rom did you get it from? If you pulled it from a rom..try installing that roms frameworks in apk tool. .then decompile it..
If not..pull a log and see what errors it's throwing at you when it fcs. .If you want post it here..and I'll see if I can help you at all

Looks like it is not installing correctly.. Also what Android version are you on? Does this app support it?
It is also requesting to write to internal storage which I know something in 4.4 have changed with that.
? Why are you decompiling it?

Hi,
I tried to copy Droidwin v3's systemui.apk to Cosmic v2. But, I am getting this error : "Unfortunately, system ui has stopped". I have followed the entire procedure on how to replace systemui apk using root explorer. Has this happened with anyone? Where do you think I could be making a mistake?
@krittin98
I think droidwin v4 is based on Baidu beta v67 and Baidu is a closed system and has a different framework.... So it won't work in cosmic rom
Link to droidwin v4--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gra.../droidwin-v4-material-lollipop-theme-t3060455
Check out the link for further information

Made a mistake! I was trying to use Droidwin v3's systemui apk which is based on MaterialDesign. I have made the correction in the original post too. I am not using the Baidu based Droidwin's systemui apk.
@krittin98
U should ask @mjraogr developer of droidwin series
